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
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
become edm broducer
piano
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
rubbish but 3 minute
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

some producers talk about having gaps in between things then put fx or bass hit samples in gaps i dont write much gaps tho so nothing to put in gaps a lot need write more gaps into melody or bass or somethin
or frequency automate things up or down in drop at end of 4/8bar and make drop twice as long............. probbaly 100 things like this
then could stick full 5 second melody but pitched down an octave before that buildup... then track is slightly longer
could put more repetition in buildup... repeat a 1 bar section then half bar section then right before drop repeat a quarter bar section
analyzing trax so boring do
this is probaly why assholes learn music therry
or make the melody longer. but then not rlly the same melody
maybe another similar melody
not sure how you make a melody like in this upload into longer ideas. probably need really good percussion arrangement... or good skills swapping out instruments for different sections.... hmmmmmmmm
artist called sweeper has a track 'you' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IiC9cXhkuo4 is 6 second bass loop for the entire track... usually as reese... tried to analyse the track a week or two ago. theres a kind of crazy automated wobble bass in the last drop of the song probably with similar 6s pattern but automating some crazy shit idk. and the track has some crazy vocal chopps with shitload of reverb ... could probably do that type of thing with exhale somehow
probably need to use some ableton rack for vocal chops... maybe an ableton instrument rack with a load of output-exhale presets all loaded and use modulation envelope to switch between ~10 different presets. heavy ram use for one instrument but could be sweet. using modulation envelopes would be nice caus could make patterns without leaving clip view of ableton... id wanna reuse the same instrument rack for probably 50 hours or so to get used to it maybe.... need to use output exhale more... has nice vocal samples and some presets maybe
