you know what to do
feel like fm8 is greatest synth of all time... fm synthesis sounds too good cant make ting like this with subtractive. why isnt there fm9... fm8 came out 20 yrs ago now still best synth of all time. probably gonna try make a billion sounds with fm8
could probably make the piano in this better. dunno bout splice vocals i cant work with vocal prob rather do instrumental only but vocal fun to get new ideas
nice to be writing slightly longer ideas lately. this one 2 and half minutes
splice vocal. splice has 23k results atm if u search 'vocal hook'. sort by popularity works pretty well
favorite thing i wrote so far shout out nicky
[VOLUME WARNING not mixed - drop too loud]
DUBLE UPLOAD i like the melody in 2nd upload
hate ppl posting art on internet and saying 'this is trash' but this is trash. enjoyed making it... but became trash maybe halfway thru process of making it. maybe start with better chord progression next time. writing 2 minute track about 1000 time harder than writing 1 minute track. having made 1 minute trax helps. lol i feel like i enjoyed making a 2minute track tho so im happy wit it
starting with piano and bass and laying out a 2 minutes of audio worked pretty well to start it off. want to improve the drums and vibes of next one esp in non-drop parts. maybe have some kind of different section or different bass notes in a section or 2. might lay out bass and piano for similar thing but with chord progression i like more
[VOLUME WARNING not mixed - drop too loud]
tried a couple new thing. automated volume of bass down at end of intro... automated some high end out of bass on a higher note... dont use tremolo strings that often... lead from a future rave preset pack for serum
20 minutes mixing a 5 second drop loop... realize saturator on master somehow... export
tried faster melody... theres a music theory term for the melody in this. returns to one note in the melody frequently. might be ostinato probably soemthing else. making these heavy trap drops might be a good way to learn mixing. really hard to get everything sounding loud at once ... might be good mixing practice
taking ages to git gud at electronic music
main method im folowing atm is the tem air2r method u basically download a shittonne of preset packs and get a 4bar loop going and combine all the sounds in a bajillion different ways. reverse to fuckolutionize
this track was more just somethin else tho. got a few presets i like usin now. maybe in 10 yr i write good electronic track
Still using Helm and Geonkick, slowly getting better at each of the parts to at least be able to approximately apply information from general tutorials to create something like a trance bass. I found this article very helpful, and a video helped fill in some gaps as well.
Here's the alv script that does the sequencing:
(import* link struct- math)
(import midi random)
(def *clock* (clock 140 120))
(def *midi* (midi/port "alv" "alv"))
#(channel 0 - bassline, three note arpeggio between each drum hit)
(midi/send-notes (get *midi* 'out') 0
(struct 'pitch' (switch! (counts 1 0.25 0.5 0.75) 38 46 38)
'vel' 127
'dur' 0.11))
#(channel 1 - drums: alternating kick and snare)
(midi/send-notes (get *midi* 'out') 1
(struct 'pitch' (switch! (count 2) 69 71)
'dur' 0.5))
