Update on that 45 bar loop of electro I made before...

 

 

@Chaym

 

Let's wrap up. Different songs are musically and objectively better than others while all songs serve different purposes.

Dayum. Sidechain that bassline and compress/limit your drums and it will awesome.

 

Btw post your "studios" guys xD Here is mine:

How is it working on a laptop? At least you got good headphones and an interface...

 

Here's mine... (In spoilers because it's huge.)

So yeah... I like monitors, lol... Now before you crucify me for wasting money on this setup when I could be buying FL... Everything but the computer and the main monitor cost me nothing. We had the table, we had the speakers, we had the two extra monitors, we had the midi keyboard (oh I guess I did have to buy a MIDI to USB converter)...

 

Also, if you want to see my subwoofer and cable "management"...

I can't post mine because my desk is messy and i only have two monitors so I'm just a scrub in comparison to matrix's glorious three monitored self ;_;

 

But my parting words for the debate shall be this:

http://www.youredm.c...eds-to-step-up/

Another joins my ranks :3

That's;

deadmau5

Porter Robinson

Madeon

Zedd

And I wouldn't be surprised if Knife Party thought the same considering EDM Trend Machine

 

That's a huge portion of the biggest, most influential, diverse, and most creative names to touch electronic in the last 10 years. The tides are rising... soon you will be forced to admit I'm right. Not today perhaps, but soon

Not sure exactly what that article is supposed to be saying... But I think it's a little silly for Zedd to say he only like music that's possible to play by hand. So many of my favorite songs would be impossible to play. I do agree that we need more musical EDM.

i can kind of seeing where he's coming from. I don't think he minds several different instruments making big chords, but that chords by one argument with so many parts kind of aren't natural, and can take the humanism out of music. A lot of better producers will purposely play certain parts of their songs so that those little tiny "mistakes" make it more natural. Sometimes things like that make the song nicer to listen to. A good example is Language, at teh beginning near __ you can hear that the note has less velocity, and I'm pretty sure that came from natural playing. I would see there are more important things to ward making songs musical though.

 

Anyway, I'm sure you guys have seen a lot of people posting Hellberg - the Girl Remixes, so  I thought I'd share the only one I've voted for so far.

 

Also Ephixa is making a remix. When he released a song a couple days ago. And another remix like two months before that. I think he may actually be back for real

Well this is my "studio" I don't have much right now since a lot of my stuff is breaking down

Uggggghhhh I'm so jelly of that keyboard...

 

I really want some trigger pads and pitch/mod wheels.

 

Anyways, I have a question for you guys... Recently, I noticed that I didn't really know of any female EDM producers. And actually female composers in general. Which is really weird to me for some reason. It seems like music is something women would love to make, but I've only ever heard of a few female music makers. So my question is... Are there a decent amount and I just haven't heard of them? Or are they truly scarce, and if so, why?

I liked ParagonX9. But as far as I know she just straight up stopped making music and then disappeared from social media.

It's the same reason girls don't play games as much as boys. They tend not to stick on a screen for hours doing the same thing. And yes, there is literally no big name girl producer in the EDM scene today. I know some but they usually are really bad and does it for the attention like twitch grills. And the ones who make good music usually collabs or does remix on someone else's song.

 

But that's only cause they prefer not to produce not cause they aren't capable to it.

I guess... So are girls just wired more socially and producing is too anti-social for them?

 

But then, there's plenty of female visual artists out there, many of which do their work digitally... That takes a long time of sitting in front of a computer screen as well...

[Chime]

Girls tend not to like to create things and do technical stuff. I don't know why but that's just kind of how it is. Applies to a lot of different things as well. Why no female engineers? Construction workers? Game designers? Girls are more interested in interpersonal stuff, and so they pursue different things than guys. It doesn't usually show up this much, but it is what it is. Visual art is kind of an exception. Sort of. A lot of girls are kind of into it, but not as many make a name for themselves, and fully dedicate themselves to it for life from what I've seen.

Finally done with this song.

 

 

Name is cheesy I know but I think it fits.

That was pretty good. I liked the music, but i wll have to agree the name is a little cheesy

Congrats on 500 followers btw. Don't know how long you've been over that threshold, but congrats anyway.

 

Also here's a thing I'm planning to submit to balloon party. I don't know if you guys know what that is or not. Matrix might.

Anyway, I've had it kicking around my drive for a couple months now, but they don't need to know that eed to mix and master before it in, and I'm kind of dreading that. It's my biggest file with about 60 tracks. I don't even know how may instruments. 20-30 maybe? I think the most I have going at once is 18.

So yeah that should be fun >.>

I have indeed heard of it.

 

BTW, you must have that track privated or something, cuz I can't listen to it... Instead of just copying the URL, you have to go to the track and click share, then get the share-able link.

Oh yeah, Grabbitz submitted this song to deadmau5 like 2 months ago. I totally forgot that they would be finishing it lol

 

And if you nail the mixing of that song and mastering and such, I think it's going to be pretty good. It has that mid tempo with a mix of minimal in it. I like it XD

Awesome, i'm glad to hear that since that's pretty much exactly what i was going for

Awesome exposure I got from a youtuber with 700k subs.
