I think we need more tutorials on break downs, prog trance bass synths and overall structure of a track... these are the real roadblocks.

Amazing video, I want to add more. I came from hanging out with videographers a lot. What they have been telling is A roll and B roll. I didn't understand because I have never shot or edit any videos for serious before and I searched on the internet to get the meaning of it. Then, it got me aha moment and I started writing 2 different 8 bar loops like A and B. You can write different chord progressions or rhythm or switch instruments or even genres for B roll. You can slowly introduce each loops in A and B or even cross introduce it from each different rolls or just suddenly switch from A to B rolls.

Personally, I think the Too Much part could be pretty epic as a peak moment in a track. It's boring when you do it every track, but every now and then.. some sensory overload.. Got no problems with that ;) But I get the gist, very good technique. Thanks for sharing this.

I've heard a select few people say you should only ever have one (optionally layered) lead to keep it catchy and easy to digest, I could not disagree more. Splitting up parts over multiple instruments can INCREASE how clearly structured and catchy it is. Let's say you do the call and response with 2 leads, you can have a third for little flourishes at a certain part every 2 bars etc. It is a really cool effect to then layer 2 of them during a climax or transition etc. if they layer nicely though, + ear candy stands out so much more when it's not constantly the same thing. (It is possible this advice just came from people who struggle with not making it sound jarring, that's something to look out for if you're not going for that)

Sometmes i’ll just grab midi and throw it around and sometimes i’ll use crazy modulation on an instrument selector

I've been wondering all the time how Infected Mushroom and others do this in their music, thanks❤

You can do this in Reaper too, chop with S. And you csn nondestructively cut, and even stretch midi etc

Great tip as always, thank you Glitch!

I enjoyed that so I gave it a thumbs up, as suggested :) ! But yes arrangement themed videos are always welcomed !

Brilliant and simple! Much thanks for the tip my friend 🙏

Awesome and note taking! Thanks Dash!!

Thank you a lot for sharing this!

Thanks🤩

Wow I like that psytrance. Where can I find/buy your songs?

👍

Hey I wanna try Bitwig is it smart to start with “producer” rather than “studio”? I like what I see and it might be my next daw Using Ableton Studio One and Reaper but this looks the best for linear to nonlinear writing and would go to the others for the editing and mixing

What software are you using?

Make in estilo Twilight o forest

what was that "hold alt and chop these" ? do you just hold alt and drag?

This is called instrumentation

I need your help and want to ask something in private How can I contact you.
