i find it amusing how everyone here seems to believe they can make a living off music after just a year of doing it

Try playing the guitar or another instrument at a professional level. It takes YEARS to get to that cliber. The best producers usually have AT LEAST 5 years under their belt.
People like you do this music a disservice by assuming that owning the software instantly grants you the ability to create monster tunes. Get back to the batting cages rookie.
And I didn't say I was thinking of quiting. Shits just getting difficult with writers block, and the fact that I'm still a little new to producing Electronic music other than Chiptune.
Plenty of people make money from music; engineers, teachers etc. Making money making your own music is the challengeDrSpliff wrote:Only those who've mastered their craft, or gotten lucky, make money from music.

All I have to look forward to in the studio is a quick wank, when the track is rendering
It renders too quick manBrothulhu wrote:Slow PC or premature ejaculation?3za wrote:At least after you get to have makeup sex...ephyks wrote:I hate being a duo. This is how producing sessions go...

Do something different!!! hell, add two different high hats if you wanne go really mad!BYTEME wrote:My order of producing a track goes like this:
Kick: 6db.
Snare/clap: 5.8db.
Hat: 10-8db.
Simple 4x4 drum pattern with the added kicks every 2nd and 4th whole bar.
Get a synth I made.
Make a melody.
Alter it with effects or pitch automation to make it more fun sounding.
Set the volume between 16-8 db.
That's the intro usually.
Add rising white noise sweeps at the end bar of every other measure.
Stop the drums for 2-4 measures.
Make it JUST the melody synth or a different synth.
Make the drums progess faster and daster leading to a 'drop' or breakdown.
Then lay the 4x4 patterns again, different synth, and a bass with a sub bass under it. (Usually a simple sine with a lowpass rolling off around 90-130hz)
See where it goes from there, changig certain sounds on the synths.
Then I get stuck. Lazy. And add random shit that doesn't sound good.
Then I usually give up and repeat everything again for a new track.
I depress myself. :/
