Ken Ashcorp put out a new song. And it's so chill and awesome!

New Ken Ashcorp song >.>

DUUUUDE! BRO! DUDE! KEN ASHCORP IS MY FAVORITE! 

Sounds way better than before!

Alright sweet. That means I can actually hear the different frequencies much better with my new headphones XD

Stupid generic future bass thing

 

I don't even understand what defines future bass as such lol so I don't know what is classified as generic

So have any of you guys tried doing other timings than 4/4? That future bass thing I'm working on is in 7/4...

Every time I try, it ends up sounding horrible lol. I'll probably stay with progressive house until I have a solid grasp on it.

I mainly only mix on these.

 

 

ATH-M50x They are cheap and somewhat flat?

 

I plan on getting these though if I manage to solve my room's acoustic treatments:

Yamaha HS7, very flat and they look nice.

I'm looking into buying headphones after I get my new laptops. As for room acoustics and speakers, I would probably need a better set up first lol. I mostly produce in other areas and I only use my keyboard to brainstorm melodies and chord progressions.

Who do you send in to? If you send in to channels like Proximity or Airwave then you are bound to not even get even your track listened at. Honestly, I think your songs are great and most are promote worthy but your weakness lies in mixing and mastering. Most promoters has studio monitors and they won't promote anything that doesn't sound close to a profesional mix (which is the critic I often get). My last song had a little bit too harsh highs and Momentum was overall weak.

 

I suggest sending it into channels with max 10,000 subs, that's what I did when I started out. No one accepted them until Agera Promotions did (he had 7k at the time). Then as you get a little better known, other promoters are less afraid of promoting your work

Once I get some better headphones, I should have an easier time mixing and mastering lol. The ones I have now are actually completely broken now. So I won't be able to release anything until I get a new laptop and new headphones now ;-;

Its good I like the drop a lot. But you should really stop using the vengeance samples. The vengeance kick hit really hard and doesn't fit in your prog style at all imo. The hats are also a bit too loud and not panned so it kinda sounds like the kick is going 1/8 if you know what I am saying since the kick high end and the hat sound very similar. I can send you two or three custom kicks that are really nice for your style if you want. Cut some more lows/mids out of stuff that dont need it too so you reduce some of that weight/mudd in your mix which will be a disaster in a car system for example.

 

Also take a look at your arrangements. I know you love deadmau5 but unless you really know what you're doing when doing these super long intros, I think you should stick to more catchy/faster arrangements cause honestly the intros are always a skip for me on your songs while the drop often is amazing.

 

Now, it kinda sounds like you haven't seperated your bass (lowmid) from a simple sub. I think you should because the dynamics is kinda wtf in the lows right now since you have like that nice upper bass going on but the same dynamics kinda screws my headphones' sub.

Sweet thanks. I kind of know what you are talking about lol. I got a new laptop recently and I can hear a lot more with it compared to my old one when I listen to the soundcloud file. Now I just have to figure out how to get my version of fls onto the new computer so I don't have to pay for another version. Then I can actually start making better edits.

When I listen to your songs I kinda think of purple and pink. Lel.

 

There will be one day when you realize you have quite a lot of talent and finally go and fcking buy the goddamn FL Studio and make some tunes that get on edm.com D:

 

Promoters. Without them I would have like 20 followers or less probably.

 

Here are some that are nice:

Labels are essentially promoters btw! They just have some more "rules" lol.

This works lol. I'll use it XD

It's poorly mixed but what's happening is that it's a regular kick with a lot of thump to it aka mid freqs. Did you mean that you thought it was a kick+snare 4/4 pattern or that you think I should add a clap? Cause I have no clap on every beat now.

kick+snare 4/4 pattern

I won't be posting here any more.

Awww, that's too bad. Well keep pursuing a musical career!

1000 stronk

 

 

Goin' to Japan to study the next two months so don't expect anything new for a while unless I can get to produce there.

That's so cool. Here's to the next 1000! And go buy me all of the anime things ever while you are in Japan

That feel when you don't know this feel lol

You'll get it as you upload more works and gain followers XD

No one answers back on my tracks. Just tells me I still have a lot of work to do lol.

My favorite promotion channels and/or record labels are these ones.

As far as I know, King Step, NCS, Nexus Network, and Tasty Network are pretty lenient compared to some of the other high end promoters and labels.

Actually, as a promoter I'm probably a little too exclusive about what I want to promote. Even though I only have like 550 subs

Totally ripped off a tutorial for some quick entertainment XD

Gonna change my alias soon. This one is not only crappy, but really hard to make a logo for. I already have a name in mind, but i won't reveal until the logo and everything are done :3

After that planning on finally putting some music out (didn't want to under this bad name with no logo.

I really wish I could make a logo lol. But I'm not good at that kind of stuff and I have no idea what it would be anyway.

So after many hours of struggling to find solid ground to build onto the chords I've been throwing up, I think I might have something. No where close to being done though lol. Going to see how far I can get with it tomorrow.

I have an idea.

Elaborate bro! lol

I think I fixed some of the stuff. I muted the vengeance kick, lowered some of the mid frequencies, and I separated the basses a little bit.

I will, in image form.

 

Y'know, something like this, but fancier.

What do you think?

Ooooooo, I never thought about using bullet holes in the name. That's really cool XD

Inital first impression feedback on this?

 

I feel like the kick after the drop threw me off a little. Like the build up was good, but the kick wasn't hype enough. I imagined a clap and a kick going at the same time. Maybe it's just me being crazy though. It is 1:23am and I'm tired and such lol.

MUST. NOT. DO. A. FANGIRL. SCREAM.

 

 

I can make you one but it will be simple like mine if that's okay. Text and background image but with some sick font that has some effects on it and the BG color graded.

Well that pretty much just locked in the chances of you going pro lol. That's so cool! And if you are ok with doing the whole text on a background thing for me then I'll use it I'd prefer some kind of animeish theme background though.

So something like this.

Or this one. I really like this one.

Unless you have something that you think would fit more. You can go ahead and use it instead XD

So... Here's what I've been working on for the past few days... I think it's my best track yet.

You gonna finish this one lol
