Oh okay, 'cause I was looking at the Yamaha 8's I think for now there like 50 bucks extra but I'm in a fairly small room so I think they would just bombard me with sound plus they're a bit tad big but the 7s id say a pretty nice tho when I heard them, maybe it was me but they seem to of lacked some low's to me I have a subwoofer, a sony one, idk how much difference that would make tho? tho your advice on the 8's is really intriguing and as far a Adam monitors which series are would you refer to?

So as far as choosing monitors I'm not to familiar on what I should be looking for, I'm looking something that has a good mids & lows, right now I'm working with a sound bar that has pretty good quality but, I feel like they're over exaggerated in sound & also really are meant for tv but, more importantly they're commercial listening speakers, as far as price range I'd pay $300 max for a single monitor since I'd be buying them apart so a total of like $600. I was referred to buy some Yamaha HS7 Monitors I liked them but, I'm looking at Behringer NEKKST K8 Audiophile Bi-Amped 8 Studio Monitors & not sure what to think, I'd like to have the flattest response but then again my hearing could be vey different so, I'm just trying to choose the best monitors for my money, I don't want to be cheap & regret the purchase for cheap monitors. If you have any other monitors, I appreciate the help & reference to know what I'm looking for, also thanks in advance!

I tweeted at San Holo once asking him how he got into sound design and he sent me a link to this vid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atvtBE6t48M

It's pretty basic stuff, but practicing the core stuff is essential.

I spent 3 hours of my life watching these videos...It was amazing help and I have a better understanding on how to make my own sound a bit more! Also I got a bit less fearless and more confident strangely 0_o thanks for the post!

No, I'm just using in program plugs-ins, so Logics X's, but I'm not really trying to create a track, I'm just playing around to make my own sound so all my kicks are the basic 4/4. My release is short by the way but when the kicks stops it still boost an absurd amount and I'm trying to find a way for it to not spike in volume should I just play around with the volume parameters & match the volume so the volume seems in synch?

How would you say you been more inspired to do this?

Do you think it'd be better if you'd gone to a university or are going to one?

Do you think you'd have or have the same opportunity to learn as much as the one in school or viceversa or maybe even more as a bedroom producer?

Which do you think is better?

Okay so question
1.) Do you use the circle of fifths trick where you choose your key you want to be in, be it Minor or Major build chords off of that then use the trick where you got to your . fourth, fifth and build off of those? As for minors, refer from time to time to the circle (whatever key you're in) and look at the minors?

Question 2. Say I'm in the key of AM and my last chords root was E, can I go down to BM or Cb? Then also can go from AM to Em to G#/Ab (member my root key for the song is AM) is it unwise to stray to far from the Main Root key? I'll try to explain more if I'm confusing you guys. Thanks for the advice in advance.

Exactly, what do you as of right now, this moment of your life you hobby/career do feel like you've "mastered" because
1.)you never really master anything in art there is always much more to learn (don't mean this in a bad way, trying to motivate you)

How much work have you put in theory & fundamentals?
Look back at your work, listen to it, song structure wise harmony wise, melody wise. Do you think you put in 100%? Ddid you rush your tracks just to finish them?
A lot of projects, I've read from guys like madeon and stuff say they work on 1 track example Technicolor I'll post the link at the bottom tho I'm sure you've already heard it took him 7 months I believe he said. He would be on and off it changed various times

GQ interview
Madeon quote follows

I've been in the studio for three months and written a bunch of songs and thought, "You know what? Not good enough." I thought I'd take three months off from touring - which is a big deal as touring is profitable - but I need some level of productivity. So I went to the studio to create. But I wasn't [thinking], "I need five new singles for the next 12 months." It was rather, "Let's study movie scores. Let's see what that is about." I'm glad I have this knowledge as now I have something else I can do. You can either cultivate spontaneity or you can be exhaustive in your knowledge and capacity. I'm more towards the latter. You know, my music sounds happy, but it's a painful process and I take it quite seriously. I do realise that if I keep on with this attitude forever - of scrapping songs and taking six months to finish a record - I'll pretty much have an album in 2035.

Here's a thread started by madeon showing off his struggle & tips

https://www.reddit.com/r/edmproduction/comments/186kli/im_madeon_lets_talk_production/

You're thinking of this (the whole music thing as money) it shouldn't be about money while everyone here wants that, priority number one should be about what it started with Music and should in with music

There's a quote in Kill The Noises song, I'll link the bottom with the song the quote is in the song & hope it makes you not give up I'll quote it as well

"You got to reevaluate you perspective & you priorities, because, you started doing this because it was fucking fun, it has to be fun, otherwise, you're just torturing yourself you know, you're just stuck inside you own fucking head"

I find inspiration in music, anime, other peoples work, score, films
Music isn't just about understanding music in an album or ep, it's about understanding sound not just in music, but in film, IRL event's, film piece together how a song in a film or in my case anime makes you come to tears. Evaluate it as sound, a person or being that provides support in an intangible way it moves everyone because someone took the time & learn to struggle to provide that feeling in you.

But as a guy who started in high school now been producing for 2 and a half years, 20, still a lot to learn, I have dropped out of college for this so I can somewhat understand what you're going through but i'm having fun with this, I love this in the end, I'd rather die doing what I love than living & working in a office. The world needs more creative people and less men with black and white shirts and black neck chokers around their necks who kill imagination. That's all I can say, hope it helped

Btw this was madeon now he was 10 I think, but still it took I'm 10 years to get where he is now. link in the bottom
