Inspiration/Creativity/Motivation / Re: Struggling With Sound Design
« on: February 09, 2016, 05:53:11 am »
my suggestion to you is to flip through presets that fit that sound, and try to study that sound the best you can, after that you can tweak it to make it your own sound or use the preset as a starting point to make your own sound
this means you have to study sythesis, so pick 1 synth, like the sylenth or massive and learn how it works
be patient man, 2.5 years or producing isn't quite long enough yet

Inspiration/Creativity/Motivation / Re: (How) do you divide your time between sound design and composition?
« on: February 09, 2016, 01:36:09 am »
just go with how you feel?
if you wanna finish off tracks, finish them and if you wanna play with sythesizers, play with the synthesiser
just make sure the time you are using is spent wisely and you're always learning

Composition/Arrangement/Theory / Re: Production Process Thread
« on: February 08, 2016, 12:30:58 am »
its the baseline and melody that make the track, so these are the most important, you need a baseline and melody catchy enough that people want to listen to it over and over again..
that is easier said than done lol
the drums and fills then come which are important too, with the drums i think its about selecting the right sounds for your tune
then the arrangements and mixing come in and i think they get easier after practice
its about thinking outside the box, and the creativity muscle gets stronger with practice i think and being open to new things
i think its important to be a DJ too or listen to a lot of new records, so you can see all the tracks that come out, and why they grab attention
so really its all about practice, practice and practice

« on: February 03, 2016, 10:57:41 am »
you are what you study man
so learn music theory, learn how melodies and chords work
learn how to use eq, compression, learn how to use percussion, sythesis, how music is made and composed
study everything man, look at how the pros do their work, what do they use? how do they think?
look at the good music out there, try and emulate it and make it your own without stealing it
its a serious task if you want to make great music

« on: February 03, 2016, 01:26:10 am »
the quickest way to get into this from my experience is..
have a template that you have made ready so you can get your ideas on the daw asap
like have a channel for your kick, bass, percussion, lead, etc
chuck on some pre made loops so your brain get get going, it doesnt have to be the perfect loop
play some chords, try and have fun
think of the blank canvas as the place to put your art, its like drawing a picture on a white piece of paper
its best to stick to one daw that you like, i was on logic before, and then i tried ableton and i found ableton to be the quickest to get my ideas on, its alright to switch daws, they all do the same thing kinda
