Succession Theory Deep Dive Tutorial


Announcements

OK, I have to ask now ... because I had this figured out as C harmonic minor, with the chord progression as Cm Ab Fm6 G ... (harmonic minor uses B rather than Bb as in natural minor)

The melody includes a couple passing notes not in scale either way as far as I can tell, and all notes kind of fits both Fm6 and Ddim, so not sure if it's important at all, just wondering if I'm thinking wrong here ...?

House practice track


Let us hear you!

Been working on a kind of house track last week and a half.

https://community.producertech.com/petter/uploaded_audio/403/give-it-all-youve-got

Rather basic arrangement and not so exciting vocals/melody, but main purposes has been:

1. Low-end work
2. Sound selection
3. General level balancing

Any constructive critique always welcome! :D

Best P.

Vocal Production


Member Content Requests

Just did both the bonus vocal tutorial and Ellie Dixon alt pop course. Very informative and useful.

I have to say Ellie is an amazing artist and presenter. Yes Rob, she's better than you! :D Wish she had more courses! Very inspirational how she gets totally great sound with just a few stock presets and plugins, and a little tweaking, and how effortlessly she recorded additional percussion sounds and vocals and fit it all in perfectly. Pretty clear I've been overcomplicating things.

Honestly had to look her up on Spotify to listen to some of her tracks too :)

Self Releasing Music


General Producer Chat

These are murky waters. Would be a nice topic to have covered actually. I suppose it's a lot easier setting up a label today than it used to be, but still, there are things to beware regarding licenses and practicalities I reckon.

Xmassignment - Win Big Prizes!


Announcements

Yes, well, I'm still slightly shocked to win this tbh ... :O  

I mean, all the other songs sounded so great, and my production is still embarrassingly lacking I'm afraid ... but seeing as everyone here has got the hang of it, I have the hope that working through the courses I will be able to improve as well!

But THANK YOU! :D

I have completed and updated to the final mix of this one: 
https://community.producertech.com/petter/uploaded_audio/399/neon-nights

I feel it is better, but could still benefit from even more work ... but alas, no more xmas for a while now! 

INTRO:

I have tried to work that glockenspiel into what I really had in mind, but just couldn't do it. Possibly as Rob said, it's just not fitting the mood at all. So changed that up with a version of the phrase used in the middle section instead. Works better I think, also as it's the first phrase of the original of course.

VOCALS:

I think I missed second part of that question ... the vocals are made up of some free stock ad libs I found, but they are pieced together from 5-7 bits each for drops and the bridge part. The two drops are slightly different as I tried to create some tension going into the break on the first and some resolve going into the outro. Original wav's are rather heavily processed to make them warmer, tighter and cohesive. The harmonies blended into the second part of drop is made using Antares Harmony Engine (I got a free 2 month subscription before Xmas).

The free vocal samples I used is here if anyone else wants them:

Well, onto the next project now!!
