Hey Guys, I have no issues creating original melodies/rhythm as well as replicating some of my favorite tracks. However I have been having trouble when it comes to creating movement in my sound. My melodies sound so "bland" and "boring" if you will. I know alot of it comes down t...

Hey everyone, I plan on soon purchasing a soundcard/audio interface when my financial situation allows, however for the time being my KRK 5's are currently hooked up using a split TRS to headphone jack cord. My question is, is the sound quality significantly different when running through a soundcar...

Good stuff, thanks for everyones replies

hey everyone, I have been resorting to transient shapers lately to get a clicky top attack to layer for my kicks. Just wondering should I be concerned with adjusting the make up gain to match the levels before and after to effectively compare the result, just as I would with compression? Apologize f...

Interesting, thanks for the replies so far. Never really though of tuning my percussion at all, until now. I have just been going by ear when tuning my kicks, adjusting them a few semitones up or down until it "fits" sometimes its the root note of the bass, other times its a 5th up etc... ...

Hey guys, I know this a generally broad topic but as a new producer I am interested in what you guys do you in order to get your track sounding good on anything from laptop speakers to club systems to ipod headphones. Ideally my goal is to have my tracks played out on large club systems during shows...

makes sense now, appreciate the detailed explanation! Answered my question.

Hey guys,

I was under the impression to leave the make up gain alone when using sidechain compression (ie set it at 0). However in a recent tutorial the producer was adjusting the make up gain. If someone could shed some light on this basic question that would be great!

Thank you!

makes sense^, thanks for the reply!

Hey Guys, Been learning all about stereo/mono lately and how to widen sounds (specifically mids/highs and leaving my bass mono). Anyway... I was wondering when you widen a sound do you just pick one certain technique (duplicating tracks/detuning, using the pan knob, chorus, delay, reverb, dedicated ...
