If you're just getting started with music production, you've probably heard the term "Sound Selection" quite a bit. But what is sound selection? In this video, I go over some important high-level points about sound selection, and how to pick the right sounds for your song. At the beginning, it can seem like such a complicated concept, but with a little bit of practice, some intentional listening to popular artists in your genre, and a willingness to try new things, it gets much, much easier.

Let me know if you have any questions or topics you want me to cover! I'll be responding to every single comment. Love y'all ❤

this counts as a comment so I'm responding to it because I'm a man of my word

This video was amazing omds. I’ve been trying to produce classic soul recently but I can’t get it right. The way you were able to get the first beat sounding so full without taking away space for an artist is really impressive. If you ever decide to do a how to produce video or a beat break down please do it on soul

@itsmeluked Год назад

I just started diving into the soul stuff myself, it’s really fun to make! I’d be happy to make a video on how to make soul samples, do you have a particular artists you’re trying to emulate? Or is “vintage soul” a solid umbrella to target?

@maxmakesmusic9246 Год назад

@@itsmeluked I think vintage soul as a whole would be really helpful as I’m still so new to the genre and producing in general. I’m finding your channel really useful I’m a music student so I really can’t express how much I appreciate channels like yours.

@itsmeluked Год назад

I’m really glad to hear that! I’ve got a few requests lined up for my next couple of videos but I’ll try to work some soul elements into the videos into the meantime, definitely let me know if you have any more questions too!

@sixty7beatz Год назад

There is no “correct sound and bad sounds” Its how you use them with other sounds. Finding your sound is important so people can know it’s you in a way. Don’t over complicate it. It also depends how you mixes sounds too!

@itsmeluked Год назад

I couldn’t agree more! The biggest thing with sound selection is making sure everything is working together toward your final goal 🙏

@thesoundmajors9858 Год назад

debatable.

@itsmeluked Год назад

I guess it depends what the goal is tbf, if you’re trying to make a certain well established genre there’s definitely “wrong” sounds, but if your goal is to just create something unique that sounds cool then experimenting is a good way to get it done! No matter what, though, the sounds should definitely all work together

Nice Vid,i have a problem when it comes to making melody i get kinda confused in the melody concepts like "counter melody" and the differences between them can u make a tut for it?

@itsmeluked Год назад

I’d be happy to! Do you want me to try to touch on a specific genre or mostly focus on big-picture concepts?

Yo thank you that means a lot! I’m still pretty new to RU-vid so I’m actually blown away at how much support I’ve already gotten. I’m really happy to see people are enjoying the videos and finding them useful. Welcome to the community!

@kensley94 Год назад

The second section was still nice imo, i liked it more than the first. But i get the point, you must first learn and understand the rules so you can break them and be different.

@itsmeluked Год назад

That’s my favorite thing about sound selection, there really isn’t a right or wrong. Maybe just a traditional/untraditional but I agree! Experimenting is one of the best ways to get something unique and interesting

@Dentis306 Год назад

Both the guitar and Moog can go into the MPC if you know sound design. Both the MPC and guitar can go into the Moog to use it filter and effect. Based on your instrument of choice, I think having all would be great.

@itsmeluked Год назад

The answer is always more gear 😎

@apojaco6327 Год назад

thx for the video! which are your go-to plugins/vsts for sound selection?

@itsmeluked Год назад

I guess the biggest determining factor is really the genre I’m making, but everything from spitfire LABS is really great for a free plugin, and I’ve been loving BBC orchestra lately too (also free). I’d say serum is probably my favorite all around VST but I just downloaded Vital to work on a sound design video coming up and I’ve got to say it is INCREDIBLE for a free plugin. Thanks for watching!

i have the problem of trying to make a song in fl studio that is metal music

@itsmeluked 5 месяцев назад

That's awesome! Are you using mostly live instruments or VSTs? A lot of people struggle with FL studio audio recording at first but once you get the hang of it I (personally) think it's just as good as any other DAW. Do you have any other specific problems you're running into with FL?

@ericcoulterjr568 5 месяцев назад

The incorrect sound selection sounded hard asf

@itsmeluked 5 месяцев назад

That’s the best part about sound selection! The “rules” are meant to be broken, you can make some really cool stuff when you switch things up from the usual expectation
