It's All Sounding Good Until..
Re: It's All Sounding Good Until..
No .. It's not the fear of falling through.. Not trying etc .. & all of that .
Just made some cool things & when I put my professors hat on pre-arrangement I fucked everything up. Really.
I can do better. The original idea deserves better too. Will definitely be having another go at it.

anyways... funny this thread was created; been in the same general situation myself the past couple weeks. In term of separating composition from production. Ive seen/ heard others do this, and it is really helping one of the things I'm really trying to nail... and thats sound selection. Instead of mixing as i go, i postpone the eq's etc. for later. For me, i was relying on EQ to make sounds "work"; when, truthfully, one's sound choices should be as such, that they almost mix themselves... and EQ is only going to make everything sit that much better... i have been happy with my results so far... but still a bit to self conscious to post any examples yet . But will get there eventually... ill have to have mommy old my hand probably
because a track with a kick on every quarter is completely different than verb bass... the former is creative... latter is not.

funny.. many people agree with you I'm sure... and I understand your anger, but they gotta make some money themselves... so they usually give 60% or so of what they have to sell it for.
as far as this specific thread.. I watched a Mixing Video from that ADSR site, and the dude's approach is as I explained above. Just doin all the sound choice/creation first, then after bouncing things down (which kinda "seals in stone" your sound choices) then, he can take the "composition' hat off, and put on the "Mix."
(Although, I realize that sound creation may actually involve the use of eq and filters etc.to get a "ballpark" sound going)

Re: It's All Sounding Good Until..
agreed here.. and that's something i want to work toward, but i also tend to overly fuss and mess with the initial loop before going out to arrange.Mslwte wrote:Throw it all down into arrangement as quick as you can. Eq and mix as you go along. Save different versions. Have time away from that track and work on several tracks at once. Force it a bit and it will become like second nature in no time.
recently, i've wanted to try making a quick arrangement and then just mix the track at its peak to see what that does. then i'd mess with the parts by recording a bit of live automation via the controller... either per part or by section.
seems like the best way to get a direction rather than a solid brick.

Re: It's All Sounding Good Until..
I usually do some basic EQ for each track (on headphones) and after my endless goofing around with the 8 bar loops, i start recording (using an APC to trigger shit). All very basic, after that, i start to add bits and pieces and work on the EQ and fx. I found that once i have the basic arrangement finished, the rest is a lot of fun to handle

Re: It's All Sounding Good Until..
just stop adding sounds when you have a basic loop. Just tweak the knobs of synths and effects to kkep it moving.

Inspiring advice.
I might also add, don`t even both tweaking the synths, just do a basic loop, throw your hands in the air and shout to the world "JOB DONE"
Then go and wank in the mirror.
With your sunglasses on.
Then take a selfie.
Don`t forget to post a photo of your ableton arrangement (one solid block of clips lasting 6 minutes) to farcebook to show everyone how Boss Techno you are.
Maybe add a note "My new Joint, Just finished, out on Shitwad Records this afternoon".
It`s what new techno is all about.

Might I add; take a selfie...while wearing a t-shirt with an obnoxious/ironic slogan. Makes all the difference. Workz Wonderz ..

A moog t shirt, to prove you know the name of at least one "proper" synth manufacturer, and are Boss Techno.
Re: It's All Sounding Good Until..
Haha, all the knowledgeable advice you shared on this forum and yet all this time you were holding back, keeping the real secrets to yourself. What a proper cunt!!
For that, I'm gonna send you your very own selfie pole.
That way, there's no doubting who the real techno don is ..

And what makes you think I don't already have a selfie pole and back up selfie pole with built in sunglasses filter?

Will try this for sure. I'm ready to die after a Shitwad Rec. release.Lost to the Void wrote:Mono-xID wrote:just stop adding sounds when you have a basic loop. Just tweak the knobs of synths and effects to kkep it moving.
