a little help here?

[grimsin]

i think i need to spend more time learning and less time producing. i listen and dissect other peoples music everyday (like Distance, tes la rok, datsik, liquid stranger) i do spend alot of time learning but it seems like everywhere i look its people teaching the same thing maybe im googleing the wrong things (electronic music production tips, music theory, side chain compression, etc) i also have read the whole production bible. im pretty good at video games but i have been playing since the days of nes,snes now its ps3 and i kick ass but i have been playing since i can remember. maybe i over analyzing it maybe i just need to relax i just feel like im missing something but i cant figure out what it is.

maybe its because i started with hip hop and went straight to dubstep... maybe i should pick an easier genre?

There is no "easy" mate.

Maybe it's because you're googling instead of reading down in the technical-production-hardware section, the dubstep bible and learning off the right places.

Silly silly!

Also just a tip, Dissecting is cool and all, but experimenting on your own is waaaay better on the learning curve.

And on top of that, listen to your fav artists and outside your box every day on loud of your miserable life till you feel you got the hang of how some things work.
Then go back, make a new tune everyday, some youll finish some you'll never bother with again, some you'll hate and some you'll absolutely love.

just dont give up.


imho the best way of learning/improving is ofc with others. (see throughout the history of mankind^^)

ofc you can read your A** of and watch 10k tutorials.

However, i would suggest to pay a Pro, to work through a whole Track of yours, 1 kick till mastering.

you'll learn much faster/better, and you can ask questions^^

i dont plan on giving up i have come to far. Ihave read a little on the production bible but probably not as much as i should. I seem to stick with youtube and google because i like to stick to daw friendly tuts. I wish i had the money to pay a pro but im so broke that i had to some of my ps3 games just to get a $50 midi (which actually help production alot) but between all the bills i pay and food and all cigarettes i smoke while in production mode i dont really have an extra 200 to throw at a pro im not quite sure what ofc means... but i think maybe i should? i think i have found someone to collab with lets see how it turns out... i started a track last night and got really into it (for once n my production career i didnt have any interruptions) i spent like 3 hours on it and its far from finished but so far im seeing that its probably gonna be my best so far plus its already longer than 45 seconds

Great to hear, just keep learning, experimenting and learning.

[grimsin]

hey Ficticious i just wanna say thanks for the support bro

[Ficticious]

Sure np. Just don't lose sight of having fun . Make what you like!

[grimsin]

I always have fun when on fl doesn't matter what in doing its by far my favorite pass time

[Alistairr]

i wish i knew someone to share ideas and songs with in person but it seems like the only people that i can find that are into making electronic music or electronic music in general are all online.

lol

[grimsin]

Lol why is that funny?

[Ficticious]

Cause it's so very true, hard to pull a crew together. Once you got it going though it's nice . Follow me on soundcloud so I can find your stuff and see it' Curious'

[grimsin]

ok but i don't have very many tracks on sound cloud but ok.. Better off checking my YouTube account it has more. http://m.youtube.com/my_videos .sorry its mobile i use my my PC for mostly production on my phone for most other things...anyways i could use some constructive criticism so check both? Let me know what you think

[Ficticious]

I actually like your style man. You just need to work on making your own synth's and experiment around a little more. Read the production bible too.
Drum beats, build up's, break downs. change some melodies along the way. Go nuts. Don't hold anything back.
That old tune "I Dream about you" I could get into if you just threw in your knowledge you've gained now as suppose to a month ago. Really hope you keep your enthusiasm along the way.

Also that link does not work.

[grimsin]

Ya i have been told i have really good ideas and my style is really original but i lack song structure for sine reason. Sucks that the link doesn't work that's where my other tunes are I'll get on my computer when i get home and repost. Thanks for the feed back. Your awesome bro

[Ficticious]

Always down to help a fellow producer .

Check out my tune for the competition on monday! I'm in this time . Can't show it yet. but it'll be up there

Also got some tunes in private. hoping to create somewhat of a suprise.

[grimsin]

Where would i go to check out these tunes? Would you wanna collab with me? What's your daw of choice? Sorry for all the questions you just seem really cool. Let me kno pm me or something.
