Composition/Arrangement/Theory / Re: How did you learn how to make music?
« on: January 07, 2016, 10:27:09 pm »
Just by trying stuff and watching tutorials. I started with Reason, where i didn't know anything (couldn't even get a midi clip). Then i switched to ableton and that's what i still use today. But i feel that i've come to a point where trying is not enough anymore, since there are more complex things that get in the way that i didn't know about when i first opened a DAW.

Your kick is REALLY quiet, you should sidechain your synths to your kick.

This crazy sound by Madeon is a mystery to me.
Has anyone got an idea?

Yeah, this sound has always been a mystery, this is as far as I got lol

Nice yours is getting close!

There's this good project file of an Imperium remake I downloaded a while back... the guy didn't make that specific sound as great but I feel like a lot of the others are pretty damn close: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Nv1cWmohTw

I saw mr. Madeon himself had registered on this forum, maybe if you ask him nicely?  ::)

1. Don't try to be original + Don't be afraid to steal good ideas from your favorite tracks (Good artists copy, while Great artists Steal)



This! I'd even go as far to say, try and recreate other people's tracks entirely. It will teach you a lot more than trying to come up with original ideas. Just make sure you don't carry on doing it like some people *coughzombycough*

I definitely agree with this, remaking full songs is great practice, and it's a method I have used periodically to learn very quickly! It's a good challenge to take up. Pushing yourself to figure out how to get something sounding a certain way makes you innovate and develop your own techniques. Even if you didn't nail the sound, you're still getting closer and learning more through experimentation  ;)

I love doing remakes, I think they are so critical to learning new techniques on your own like you said.  Because of this I usually have 2 production processes, one being remakes and one being producing my own music.  If i'm not feeling creative I'll just do a remake that day

I never actually thought about it that way. The struggle with coming up with something new is really hard, and if have a blank mind i just keep staring at my screen (or facebook and stuff) and do nothing productive. I will try the remake thing when nothing comes in mind.

https://clyp.it/btzdhto0 yep
made this baby by resampling a potato chip bag  :-* :-*

What brand of potato chips did you use?
Cape Cod JalapeƱo of course.
How else would the bass sounds so fire?

That explains the crispness to it!

I don't get it. You might get alot of spam, but in between all that spam there might be an actual request or booking. So why not tolerate the spam?

It's fucking Zomboy... uh Skrillex

Tbh i like the Zomboy version more, although it's stolen.

I used to try and recreate tracks, but now i just want to do an attempt to make my own music, something i can be proud of.

The thing that mindfucks me the most about producers like Culprate, noisia,... is that they didn't have all the resources that we have now when they started. I actually saw a post on a d&b production forum where noisia asked what a reese was... And look where they are now.

I'm probably gonna buy it because I learn best in structured, syllabus-driven learning environments. A hundred thirty bucks is a lot for something that isn't obligatory, however, so I couldn't recommend it for someone who is comfortable just listening to SeamlessR videos all day.
Me too, i've watched countless videos and it's not that i don't learn anything, but it's much more likely that i will actually remember things when i learn it in a structural andere practical manier. I van read an entire article about synthesis and understand what they're saying, but to actually use the theory i've just learned is hard for me
