I would 100% recommend signing up for ADSR Courses. I myself still have my subscription after four months, and plan on keeping it.

If you don't want to pay $9.99 every single month what i suggest is paying for one month, and devote that entire month to watching those tutorial videos and take notes. I still have all my notes on every sound design episode, masterclass, so forth. It's invaluable.

Arrangement can be tricky, I myself certainly struggle with it.

On a similar thread I created I was discussing a quote from D.O.D which said all the promos he receives sound very "generic" - and by that I thought the typical big room house song arrangement. Very predictable, follows a similar structure and you can often see it in the waveform and instrument progression.

1-8 > intro
8-16 > intro + percussion + snare roll,
16- 24 > Impact fx, pluck/filter lead melody, raise filter
24-32 full lead, drums, supersaw/chords
32-40 melody + pre-drop build up
40-56 drop

I think that is a very typical song arrangement. An example -> Hardwell and W&W's "The Dance Floor is Yours"



My biggest issue when making electro/big room house is that I DO NOT want this generic arrangement that is so typical of this genre.

I try to create new arrangements, and yes, it is fucking difficult. The reason being is because the "big room arrangement" works well

> I will provide some tips and tricks I try to use in a little while, but similar to you I really struggle with my song's arrangement.

Take a look at Showtek's 'Slow Down', I think that did an excellent job of staying away from the typical arrangement and proves that many different arrangements are possible.

Focus on what you want to create rather than what others what to hear.
