Track Artwork - where do you find or compile?
General Producer Chat
Have you see art ai sites? Looks like a really cool way to create something original thats specific and without much effort. Not free unfortunately.

Musical collaboration
Let us hear you!
Hi all, I've been thinking about collaborative ideas and was wondering if anybody on here would be keen to join me on a collaborative learning journey - the idea being, we learn from each other. So my idea is that we split up the process of writing a track into parts of the creation process an example could be something like this:
1 Beats
2 Baseline / chords / melody and turn into 2x sections
3 Arrangement
4 Mixing
5 Mastering
Each person would do one (or more depending on how many people want to be involved) of the parts of the process on a track and then hand over wav files (separated parts) to the next person for their part. We could agree some rough timelines of 2x weeks for each person. Throughout the experience, we could share feedback/progress with each other and help each other through our journey whilst encouraging us to commit to some deadlines (giving tips or signposting to some training videos perhaps)
Personally, I really felt that I learnt so much from the previous remix comp where I got upfront and personal with stems to then hear how others took the same stems in all sorts of different directions. So thinking this would be a good way to encourage learning from each other.
Any thoughts on this, or if you are interested in doing this, or maybe you've done something similar before, in which case would be interested to know whats worked and what hasn't. Please answer in this thread and thats just a rough idea, we can tweak details so it works for people (or drop it if there is no interest)..
New Track - Surface Pressure
Let us hear you!
Drum and Bass Remix of Surface Pressure from Disney's Encanto:
https://community.producertech.com/smillington/uploaded_audio/296/surface-pressure
I am not sure whether there are any copyright rules breached by this track. Would be happy to hear any advice on this. Really I don't have any intention of commercial gains from it, so if Disney wanted to sue me for a % of $0 then so be it..
As ever feedback would be gratefully received also.
I am particularly happy with this track, really feel I have come a long way with finding a good complimentary drum sounds and making my own beat. Roll on the next one!

New Track - 303 Challenge
Let us hear you!
Catching up with some old tracks I've been working on. I made a track for the 303 assignment - am keen to hear any feedback:
https://community.producertech.com/smillington/uploaded_audio/295/303-challenge
I did most of the ground work for this track a few months ago. Found it incredibly challenging keeping to 2 samples. Am really happy with the sounds I managed to create from this.
Was a bit of an issue with the drums and also ended up falling back on using some inspiration from the Nikki Nair example.
Feel I did an OK job in the end although wish I made some different decisions with the drums earlier on to make them punch through better in the end. Sometimes you just have to draw a line and move on from things though.\
Thanks for any listens and feedback

Happy for whatever though..

Don't think that way dude. Just make stuff when you can, share it, learn and I'm sure you would get feedback anyway.. You win!
HELLO 4AM REMIX COMP!

I've gone back and forth between three projects and now I'm so confused what the right chords I've screwed up all of them. Could someone please run through the Glassy Chord progression? That's all I need. Sound designing a show set in the 20's and trying to keep up with 'concert' this or that in brass and woodwind... my ears are exhausted. Please?
Wait... we are in F, right? or was it C maj?
And if anyone knows Ken Burns, I could really use his help with educating some folks on how NOT to whitewash 1920's jazz... again... damn I'm tired of a poor education system.

Hi mate - Rob made a video on this which breaks it down pretty well. Also if it makes sense the chords are mainly:
FMaj7, Emin7, Amin7, Gmin7, C7
I would say the key is a bit ambiguous between F and C to be fair (as there is a b flat and a b natural in the chord progressions) - Personally I'm going with F. Hopefully this is helpful
By the way, I took a listen to your other tracks on here and am loving your style; would love to hear what you can do with this track as well.
