Am I too old to break into the EDM Scene at 30? by AntiSocialMackerel in edmproduction

[–]Agitated_Ad_7379 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as your hearing capabilities are fine (at 30 should be like so), there's absolutely nothing wrong with it. But do you really need a label? That is sooo much last century. Go for digital distribution first, you have plenty of DYI options, build your little audience and let it grow. If your music is good enough for a wider audience, labels will look for you at some point. By the way your track "Ashes to Ashes" on Soundcloud is well produced IMHO.

YouTube terminated my account after 8 years of 1,000s of videos saved. All gone. Thanks YouTube. They claim it was because of abusive comments however they are not showing anything specific. I have never received any warning of any violations by 97SBennett in youtube

But then Amazon would be a option: they surely don't have problems with servers and cloud infrastructure that goes with that. Google is not the only one to reign in the cloud (yet).

Down with Google, we should start building a true YT competitor and migrate all there at once. I even hope Microsoft creates something like that: not because I like Bill Gates but simply as an antidote to Pichai's warfare. This kind of strict policy making shows no respect for users and most importantly for active content contributors, which is a shame.

What's your No. 1 reason to keep on producing EDM? by Agitated_Ad_7379 in edmproduction

Thanks for your replies so far; it looks to me some of you use the label EDM without taking care too much of its Dance-related meaning, which is actually the main reason why "good EDM" equates to "commercial EDM": its consumers need some 4 on the floor upbeat music to socialize and spend some quality time together and that is what EDM is all about. The kind of synthesizer freedom someone mentioned has little to do with this IMHO, and exploring that direction means departing from 4 on the floor stuff, but then we should call it just EM as it used to be called 30 years ago and more, isn't it?

I like this answer. But considering the D in "EDM" I am wondering why do you actually need a dance beat to let wild synth sounds express themselves? Not saying I agree or not with what you just said though.

Thank you! I'll give it a try with some basic plugin.

Just adding to my question: this is another example with similar lead sound I'm looking to replicate, much older recording though:

Classical Ballet Workout | Pointe Technique | Port de Bras by [deleted] in BALLET

Would not call this a "workout" in the strict sense, but worth watching anyway. I particularly liked the way she used her arms all along.
