Composition/Arrangement/Theory / Re: Production Process Thread
« on: February 08, 2016, 05:03:57 am »
In terms of when you spend time on sound design, I've heard a lot of people argue for doing "sound design" first in the process, then moving to arrangement, however to me sound design seems like it should come secondary to the notes..

Also, I've been producing music for 10 years and still struggling to understand, though I've been doing it more seriously now for 2 years...
I guess whatever you're comfortable with. I can't make a melody/chords etc without at least a simple sound that isn't just a plain saw or square; usually pianos, harpsicords or i'll have some patches I've made in the past to use.

That's what I was thinking, but aren't there like a bunch of other random folders in the audio/library section of our computers that carry some specific DLL files for plugins? Maybe I'm overthinking it and there's really just a few.
I haven't a clue what you mean there. I just have a separate folder from the Ableton folder for 3rd party plugins and samples.

That pad in the beginning should have some slow decay. Add some cymbals and hats.
Vocals are kind of quiet, maybe also have some type of percussion, short snares etc in between those chords at 1 minute.
All I can think of for that; this is going really well. Good luck. :)

Tristam - The Vine is a pretty decent track at about 160 BPM that's Drumstep
Only thing I can really think of since drumstep isn't something I listen to. But a track that is ~160 halftime that's not too soft is drumstep to me :P

Composition/Arrangement/Theory / Re: How do you define overproducing?
« on: February 08, 2016, 12:37:32 am »
To me overproducing is when you don't release a song because you spend all of your time producing it and never deciding where to stop.
Eh, I just think it's where you release a song that has way too much in it at one time.

copy the folders somewhere and then add them again after you install ableton

I started this about 3 weeks ago. I'm a slow worker aside having more duties in the real life.

I think the velocity is changing between really soft and really hard a bit too much; especially the chords right after 7 seconds. Did you record those ambient sounds yourself?

 You should try adding a short, not too loud 808 snare in place of some of those toms. I think it's ducking too hard during the clap, and maybe take the sub away from the break. I think this track is coming along quite well, I love the chords and also how the toms aren't so loud during the transitions. Keep going at it. :)

and a decent graphics card (this will help with graphical processing and get rid of the burden on your CPU;nvidia)
Considering most software like this isn't so heavy on the graphics, and usually allow control over how heavy you want them; you don't need barely a "decent" graphics card (amd or nvidia,) usually something like a GTX 950 or an R7 360 would be fine.
