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

New Ken Ashcorp song >.>

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

Wait! You are not supposed to cut the lows from the bass (unless you mean simply decreasing certain frequencies by a tad amount)! xD You are supposed to cut it from the chords, leads and etc. Everything that doesn't need stuff going on in the sub 150 Hz area. I really underestimated this and now I usually decrease a lot from the 200-800 Hz area too. That's the region which always muds up fast.

Well I noticed that I had the frequencies for the bass were turned up a lot higher than everything else and they were kind of overpowering the rest of the mix. And I am using two different basses. One for normal lows and such and then one for the subs

Haha xD, why would you use Pro Tools for mixing? Isn't that over complicating things? There is no real need of its managing and workflow unless you are doing huge projects like orchestra stuff imo. Sound is same between DAWs. In any case, when I hear your mixes I kinda think you are over complicating the process. Lots of things are being processed even though they don't need it. Also cutting more lows is also recommended for ye xD.

I'm using pro tools because the class I'm making the song for says I gotta do it. And yeah, I've been cutting out a bunch of lows in the bass line

Well I guess this is still on topic, so...

 

 

That Second Flight guy I was singing the praises of earlier did a remix of my song!

I wish someone would remix my music lol. Someone asked once, but there was never a follow up for that.

Wanted to make some generic early 2010s electro huehue

Gonna try doing some remakes. This one already taught me how simple that signature Laszlo/Nanobii lead is. Just a saw with the unison cranked way up...

So did you remake that from scratch? It sounds really good lol. I've always wanted to make some sounds like Laszlo, but I don't have sylenth, which seems to produce the best sounding saws and plucks. I'm poor right now so I can't buy it 

I kinda want to but I really don't know much and I want to figure out a style for videos... I'd like to make them funny but IDK how I'd do that, lol.

I made a stupid tutorial once that emphasized making fun of the genre of music. It's kind of a bland video that I made on the fly because I don't like all of these people making nightcore "remixes", so I made one myself. I included needlessly bad language because that's what all of the kids are doing these days.

Nice vibes! It sounds like the "New Stuff" project in FL Studio 12 though, talking about the chords that is.

 

I will leave some technical feedback cause no one can get enough of it

 

1. The dynamics are off. It sounds like you pushed too hard into a limiter or something. Like all woobely all over the place. This occurs throughout the whole track. I would double check the mastering or maybe you have done some inappropiate compression in your mix.

 

2. The reverb is too slow to kick in and it has too much low mids in them. Send them to another buss and cut the lows from them and set the reverb delay time to something that matches the rythm better.

 

2. Layer the main saw chords with something wide. The whole mix is quite narrow.

 

3. The drums could use some NY compression. They are a bit muffled and doesn't cut through enough.

Sweet. I'll look into this stuff. I'm trying to use pro tools to do the mixing which is kind of hard lol.

Yup! The intro is from the original, but the drop is mine. Here's the rest of it...

 

It's really easy tho... The lead is just sytrus with one saw osc, unison turned up to 9, some other slight tweaks and then of course vibrato, some distortion, EQing... I could do a little tutorial if anybody wanted...

 

But yeah, doing this did teach me some things, so I'm gonna have to do some more remakes...

You should totally to sound design tutorials lol. I'm looking into 8bit stuff right now. I also should learn how to properly use sytrus XD

Oh so I have the stems for this song 

If anyone wants them we can talk about how I can get them to you ;;;;;DDDDD Vocals and such are included. No midi's though ;-;

lol yeah I think I'd go for a mix between making fun of stuff and overreacting to how good some stuff is...

omgdoet

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 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.

That feel when you don't know this feel lol

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

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

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

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

I finished a song for one of my college classes XD
