I hate/love making music I love having my creativity expressed but hate the fact after im done making the Song ive already listened to it like 200 times
Yo the trick is to have breaks when your making a beat, do your drums, then go have a snack or something, come back do your melody, then play a game on your phone, come back n do your bass etc..
Then you also don't feel like doing branding/marketing for that song cuz you heard that so many times you feel like it's just a normal ass song nothing special but when we first created it we thought that's gonna take us out of the hood you feel me?
Bro it do be like that too. But you know you made something good if you arrange it but think you can add something a little more extra, but when you do add that it sounds garbage. Same applies with automating your beat.
@@MiketheNerdRangerthats why you live-track place holder samples. Then, after it's all laid down, spend some time scrolling through your library to find those final sounds for the recording.
Listening to the same 3 second sample over and over again trying to figure out where to put it until you decide that you don’t like the sample anymore because you’ve listened to it too many times 😂
I would add repeatedly hitting the space bar to play the loop and then hitting space to stop for at least 30 seconds especially when adding more layers to your melody
When you feel your idea is getting stale, look for other samples and make a new beat and come back to it later or revisit sum old and add the final touches
U forgot to replay the beat ever time clicked ugh the only thing I hate about making my music is the hearing it over and over lol and if ur married or in long term relationship, and u get really excited and ur like yo check this out…meanwhile she’s been listening for last 10 hrs lol 😂
Bro I be cooking up and no joke I sometimes add a new layer or a drum and I sit there for a good minute just hitting the space bar to play what I got on there, and two seconds later I hit the space bar to stop it. And repeat the cycle for a solid minute.
@@donuts-k15rhDelete 90% of your drumkits, this is an issue of having too many sounds to select from… You don’t need them. You will build a better and more consistent sound learning to reuse and modify the same drum sounds to fit the vibe you want instead of trying to find the “perfect” one. Even better, just learn to synthesize your own fucking drums. It’s incredibly easy.
Truth...and going thru all the snares and drummer pieces to build the right set. Then dialing in eq so you've listened to the song you built a thousand times by the end lol. I feel ya man
It’s actually a mixture of both but yes more clicking for sure. For us musical producers there’s also plenty jamming on instruments, epic 20 minute solos & dancing around the room until the computer screen lock comes on lol
And this is why I just got called a fake artist/musician...cuz people that don't know think we just click...a lot of us are multi talented musicians...
The program looks like FL Studio... That's the beat making software that I use. I don't like using other programs... This one is easy to use, and everything seems pretty straightforward when you're using it. I've tried some other programs, but I ALWAYS come back to FL Studio
just a tip for anyone that doesn’t know: use a clap on top of a snare for that “chh” snare sound (just gotta make sure you use the right snare/clap to make it blend and don’t forget to EQ) Happy Producing 😁👍🏾
Bro I can’t deny-that, that the fact I have been working on one for a long time but haven’t completed it yet, am still learning but that not what I expected
I hate/love the fact I’m making music as well but every time I get into the studio it’s like I forget everything I’ve learned how to make beat all over again 😅
It’s not even like that it’s more of clicking and moving notes and playing it over and over again on the piano roll until the melody / beat is stuck in your head for the rest of the day/night.. I’ve woken up multiple times to it playing in my head and I couldn’t stop it and I would hum it/make melody and drum noises too 😂🤣😭😅
Every time I make a beat, I always play it out to listen for missing keys that I wanna add in or what I want to change, then after I’m done I enjoy myself by playing my own beat from beginning to the end and it’s such a nice feeling
This is why I’m glad I got into electronic music from the start rather than just instrumentals. Producing + DJing means I get to test my music out in real-time. Yeah the music making process is the same, but if I feel I made something great, I’m usually so proud of it and get to see how others react when it hits the dance floor. It’s such an awesome feeling, it feels like it all paid off for that moment alone
the industry is packed with producers, aside from the amateurs who dare charge money for the most generic beat, I say quit while you're ahead.. it's fun but it will never pay off
That goes with anything worth doing , how the fuck do you think people get to the holly wood hills and drive lambos it’s called you only live once welcome to the lions den
@@peterstainer731 yeah fr what kind fucked up advice is that l, there's plenty of everything in the world, but you can make your work unique, music is always progressing
