I'm the beginner guy with the new instrument every 4 bars 😂

Solid tips. These are things that are easy to ignore. Beginner produces will often focus on their sounds and mix while ignoring arrangement. Heck, even I need to be better about the first two tips (arrangements and transitions). Have fun everyone and make something you typically wouldn’t once in a while ;)

Bro already got me by that first tip 😭

Gain staging is making sure the source signal is loud enough for the next plugin in its chain and not at all with its relation to other instruments. Back in the dawless days if you didn’t do this you would introduce a lot of noise to the final sound because there was always a noise floor with analog equipment.

Here is a tip i wish i would have known sooner: less is often more Human ear can only focus on 3 things at a time. So make only 3 main sounds for example: lead, bass, drums And every other sound exists only to support them Only one instrument can be in the same place in the freaquency spectrum. Meaning if you have to overly EQ to make it fit in, you have made a mistake. And if you have to constantly add more stuff to ur track for it to sound good the core idea is bad. It needs to sound good in its most basic form. Dont add reverb to every single mixing channel but makr one mixing channel for reverb and route all the instruments trought that channel for all the sounds to be in the same space. And also makes you have more control over the reverb Dont get egotistical... be always ready to learn more. And dont judge other peoples work.

Damn just called me out and I appreciate it thank you I will change how I do this! 😂

And remember to make it your own. For example, if you personally like to listen to songs/beats that slowly build up (a new instrument every 2-4 bars for the intro) then do it like that.

Pro tip "do everything and then do something else", got it!

Not even 10 seconds in and I'm already called out

you didnt have to call me out like that 💀

I feel so called out about the new instrument every 4 bars thing ☠️

I’m a beginner and literally have just been looping my sample all the way and adding every 4 bars 😅😭

“dont do the thing where you repeat and add a new instrument” jazz, orchestral and rock musicians rn:

I agree, those things are most important 💪🙌

That's not what gain staging is. Gain staging is the process of making sure the audio is set to an optimal level for the next processor in the chain in order to minimize noise and distortion

This is true I’ve been recording and producing music for a decade now it’s only been the past year or so I’ve been confident in what I’m doing. In my experience the best thing to do is to work really hard mastering your skills for 2-3 year and then put it all to practice as much as you can. Work with musicians and get feedback from others. The BIG game changer too is to use reference tracks listen to the volume, width, tone everything and if the song is similar to the one you’re working on then copy it. Try to get your mix to sound as close as possible and then you will start to learn how to mix and master properly. From a creative point of view just try stuff, reverse guitar parts, automate a massive reverb on a vocal for one powerful word. Work hard and experiment, don’t think too much about it and if it sounds good it sounds good. Sending love from Glasgow ❤

Yeah I learned this the hard way. Thanks brody 🤙

Dude I always do the Introcuce a new instrument every 4 bars 😭😭

Solid tips. I'd say the introducing a new element with each measure thing, it depends on the genre. It's an essential part of post-rock, post-metal and atmospheric black metal. But in dance it could sound a bit lazy.

Love this thank u Again. Gain staging was huge for me yes

Beat arrangement is very key in music production 🔑

Ok Chopin 👍🏾

Well I would recommend to start building up the track with some elements first because it's easier for a DJ to mix the track with something else.

Oh thats really helpful! I'll keep that in mind! Thanks!

im a kid is 9 yr i wanted to make a music production and im now currently working on my script my editor is my big bro i hope my song goes boom btw thx for the tip👍😁

Great tip! Especially with gain staging

do what you think sounds good man it doesnt have to be a certain rule for music thats what ive learned

I felt all the advice 😅

Bru you just gave me what I was looking for

Yup gain staging is your friend I'm learning 💪🏽👍🏽

good tips

How loud any sound related to annother is balancing. Gain staging is to make sure no step you made clipped.

I decided to do a little test on capcut And used free sound effects To create music... It's a banger Brooo The song is called " The sound of broken dreams" And it has no Voices/ Talking Basically instrumental

Beautiful

Thanks man, really helpful

Thank you very much it is very useful you have gain a subscriber and I'll be looking forward to more of your videos very much appreciated

I've also seen producers do loop technique in tutorials but nobody want's to buy the same structure every time every song should be unique and done for a purpose.

Thank you for the tip it really helped me out a lot 🔥🔥

*deadmau5 looping the same thing over and over while adding new components* "am I a joke to you?"

Do you have tutorials on gain staging and automation in FL studio? I've been having trouble finding good tutorials on those things for FL

Repetitiveness, add in/fill in blanks/keep things fresh and balanced by having a good ear.

👍👍

thanks man, i think this'll help, you called me out there

Yes it's true sounds alot cleaner but you should not do it every time

Re: tip #1: tell that to Deadmau5

Bro you don't gain stage from the mixer you do it with the volume nob next to the vst or drums as that's the first volume going into fl then user the mixer to make minor adjustments.

This is me 😂 Now have to switch up!

Gain staging is the single most important thing, but don’t use the faders, that’s volume not gain. Use a gain plugin at the top of each channel to control gain

i would like to know what application Producers do you use my friend thank u

Tht first 1 🤯😂

👏🏼 👏🏼 🙏🏼

bro called me out 😂

It doesn't matter there are million ways of arranging beats

what recommendations do you guys have for free/inexpensive software? I'd like to see if my ADHD ass would be continually interested in it.

My arrangement has been awful since the start, I blame it on my drum sounds and plugins because I don't have drumfills and instruments and effects I like, but deeply down I am just being lazy not finding good ones

Gain staging is antiquated in the digital era. Back then yeah super important. Nowadays you can get a tight mix without it.

I sometimes add a pause before the drop

Reference tracks tutorial please ?

Can I know what is the program or apk that he use? Please.

What’s the software you use

Autechre:

What software are you using?

I feel attacked...

bro how is this gain staging

What daw is he using

No way i just did this😅

What’s that site called

Do you have a good music program I can use to make music , I can't find one

that's not gainstaging, that's balancing

Can someone elaborate on the first tip?

It’s not gain staging!! Gain staging happens before a record to ensure you have the perfect levels

What is meant by do everything and then something else?

Changing the volume post fx is not gainstaging. (Right?)

So...if I can’t add a sound every 4 bars what should I do then?

These tips are veey genre dependant. I make trance and hard trance, and introducing new instances every 4/8/16 is what you do with the genre.

Yo what program is that?

what is it that ur use to make music

WHAT APP IS THISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

What app do u use??

And focus on finding quality sounds instead of editing and adding effects to bad sounds.

Which application is this? Please answer

Im the awkward cuts or jumps guys..

what application do you use

what software is this

This first part insults alot of trance musician

what application is this?
