Back making electronic music. Haven't made any arrangements in a while. I thought the first thing back might be cool, sometimes happens but nah this is just okay.
I like the presets and the combination of presets - I didn't make the presets though, so idk if its weird to be happy about. Another thing I liked was not all the melody notes are on gridlines, possibly caus ive been noodling on midi keyboard with a lot of mono presets lately.
just a lil loop, i wanted to make some brass trap. i listen to an amount of brass trap but every time i go to make it i have no idea what im doing. much more comfortable with these 3 instruments: piano, reese, hardwave lead. so i went to make brass trap and got this loop instead. nothing like brass trap but ok. serum 2 has a few reallllllly nice piano sample-based banks i like. serum 2 is fucking awesome. free download if you bought serum 1
listened to this too many times, added more details than usual. found it challenging making an intro and buildup for the drop, since the drop was just kind of piano and glockenspiel type instruments.
Drop Layers:
bass layers: reese, reverbed brass stab, slaphouse pluckbass (same midi for all 3)
melody layers: piano reverbed a bit, glockenspiel-type preset that already had reverb, some other reverby sustained lead preset (same midi for all 3 layers)
other: cymbal crash at start of each 8 bar section, some other reverbed+phased crash that does a repetitive 1/4note pattern at -32db (can barely hear it but it sort of maybe adds something), kick, no snare for some reason, string melody in second half of drop (returns from the intro), piano chords playing bassnote+octave above+fifth above
i like this one. i never have really tried to make short things in arrangement. it was a lot of fun though. a lot of eq automation, presets that already had a lot of distortion, volume automation and leveling.

Had to go back out west
Yeah, fuck it
Let's get it
Yeah
[Chorus]
Had to go back out west
Had to keep my bags light
Chemicals in my psyche (My psyche)
Why this shit feel so right? (So right)
She was up in my arms
Now she up on a flight
Said you will never leave my side (My side)
Said it was to the grave, yeah
I been tryna change my ways
Swear, I been tryna change my life (My life)
They don’t know what it's like (They don't)
Laying awake all night, yeah
Runnin' away from love (From love)
Runnin' straight to my cup (My cup)
Time to head back out west (Out west)
Maybe I’ll be in touch

Yeah, covered my heart in gold
Put a smilе on for the shows
When they ask mе how I'm doin', never been happier I'm told (I guess)
They tryna bring me home, I just need one more high (Let's go)
Promise it's not a lie when I say I'm done forever this time
I got pain inside, but feel like why, why should I cry?
Thinkin' about my dead homies like why, why didn't I die?
How can I feel love when I can't even feel okay?
How can I feel anything when I, I can't feel my face?
Givin' away my heart, ayy, prolly ain't too much left
But for you, I'd give my last piece, don't need none for myself
Drinkin' my way to Hell, tryna find my way to Heaven
So make this moment count, I could be gone at any second
Doc going through my wreckage, hopin' he find a message
But every time we talk, I'm only left with just more questions
Emotionally never present
Do I hide or grab my weapons?
Only peace I know is when I'm high or in the desert
[Chorus]

for physiotherapy stuff i recommend using a combination of chatgpt and youtube tutorials from physiotherapists. really try and figure out what 'good posture' is and what exercises can help you get it. then you get less pain from using computer, in my experience. or you can pay homer simpsons to push you over a metal trashcan idk, thats also some good physiotherapy. if the physiotherapist actually heals you, you stop paying them remember
preset packs i like are anything by Echo Sound Works (especially the pads in their packs). and hardwave preset packs by Melodinumbra and Kenok. Kenok has 2 serum preset packs, i cant remember how to find them. i think if you look through his soundcloud page they both come up at some point in his track postings, theyre both really good. the Melodinumbra and Kenok packs are free download if i remember
i like the vertical mouse as well, but vertical mouse isnt going to help unless u actually do the boring physiotherapy crap
I've been doing a lot of physiotherapy exercises lately. like the 'wall angel'. theres a bunch of weird muscles you can train and then when you use computer you dont get pain. make all computer science students forced to have a minor in physiotherapy. i think if u wanna use a computer past the age of about 30, learn some physiotherapy exercises with the elastic bands. i feel like an idiot doing them but im really starting to get a lot less pain from using computer, playing keyboard, etc.
probably forgot to normalize this. how do i usually normalize something to loudest possible volume?
