As well as , I'm offering my sound engineering services to any steemians for free , more on that at the end.
Always have a vision for your track.
What use is a song or track if there is no vision , no story ? Not a lot in my opinion , just a bunch of sounds or instruments playing in a nonsensical order , though there is nothing wrong with jamming and experimentation.
Before you sit in front of your DAW , or picking up your instrument , have an idea of what you want the song or track to be like .
Ask yourself .
- "What kind of character do I want in my song or track to have ?"
- "What story do I want to tell" , or "What emotion do I want to show in the track or song I want to make ?"
- "What feelings do I want people to have more or less when they listen to my song or track?"
If you have the main idea down for you track or song with a good arrangement , your golden !!
The Devil in the details.
There a lot of small little techniques and tips that at the end of the day , will help improve your production as a whole .
For example.
A lot newer of music producers will disregard this small and simple technique that will help a boat load in the long run of their music production . EQ higher frequency samples and synths , a lot of times there will be lower frequencies that you can't hear , or are so low in volume , you disregard to do any cleaning up , this is wrong.
Think of your track or song like a car that need to be packed , you want everything to fit in nicely . I'm sure you don't want to just through everything in and go , no . You only want to pack the essentials.
Taking out the low end in higher frequency sounds is very crucial to having a cleaner mix . If you don't , and have higher frequency sounds and samples playing together , these lower frequencies add up and muddy up your mix quite a lot and fast .
The photo example you see below here is the FL studio stock EQ with a low cut (high pass) on it . The amount you need to cut depends on what you feel is the right amount . Remember , music is always subjective in every sense. Here is a video link that will explain this concept in finer detail.
Last but not least.
Always , always remember to have fun !!! Music is supposed to be enjoyed , if your not confident in what your making or having fun with making music , its most likely the music your trying to make will end bad. Also , if you do see yourself facing a writers block , don't stress to much about it , everyone has it from time to time .
