General Producer Chat

Thankyou @deltadio for the excellent suggestion...

This topic is for posting and starting discussions on tracks you really dig. This will not only spark interesting discussion but help with directing tutorial content too! 

So, use this topic to..... tell us about a track you particularly like, what is it about this track that blows your mind, are there sound-design, arrangement, composition facets etc. that stand out? Is there a how-did-they-do-it question you would like PT to solve?

Please link to a publicly accessible version of the song and in your 'advocacy' you should rise above the mere assertion that you dig that song.

@deltadio's example track is the lil Melodic House banger MEDUZA - Tell It To My Heart (Live Performance Video) ft. Hozier that has spawned many a remix [remix 1] [remix 2] [remix 3]  (and quite a few more). 

Let's discuss!

This is an excellent suggestion! I guess the quietness is mostly down to a mad last week with a new baby arriving this end and people needing to take up the slack elsewhere to make up for that. Also, the assignment finished, so things always quieten down slightly till the next one.

In any case, new bonus content on the way very shortly..... new samples as well as the next few parts in the Future Rave series we hope you've been enjoying? 

Let's get this bangers thread started too though...

In Production

Let us hear you!

Strong sound! I love the boldness. It's a simple but well put together track. There are a few tuning issues here and there, which need addressing... the higher pitched, sung vocals that come in around 1.30 are not in the same key as the rest of the track. A less obvious issue is the alternating between major and minor key - for the most of the song you're in a minor one but the main bass sound that comes in at various points has an obvious major third interval going on - this is a common issue with a lot of presets that use the 5th harmonic - these often get used in songs in a minor key!

The overall ideas you've got going on as well as the production quality, big sound etc. are all really good though, so there's huge potential!

Future Rave Bonus Tut #2 - Huge Lead Design for the Drop with Vital

Announcements

The next installment in the Future Rave series is already here! In this one, you can learn how to make a high energy lead patch with Vital, for creating a big sound in a Future Rave/EDM drop.

As well as sound design techniques, there are plenty of tips on composition, as the original melodic ideas from part 1 are transformed into a phrase more suited to the section of the track where the dancefloor is kicking off!

Check Part 2 HERE.

Enjoy!

A decent condenser is recommended. And a pop shield! Although you can just use some tights over a coat hanger if you want to be old school!

RODE are a quality home studio brand, although there are cheaper, nice alternatives too.
