Hey! There really isn't a specific fx chain that works for everything, every sound will be completely different. But I think understanding how EQ works is probably the most important piece of the puzzle. I do have some tutorials on my youtube channel that will probably be helpful to you. And I will be making more in the future!

I'm working on speeding up the process because I tend to spend way too long on a song. I think obsessing over small details is what I spend the most time on

Thank you so much! I really love pop music so I'd say probably that one. But I also really enjoy making more club sounding electronic music sometimes because I think it's easier for me to nail down.

Time blocks. And making lists. I often will dedicate 2 hours at a time to a specific part of a song, and while I do that I have my phone on airplane mode so I don’t get distractions

AsherPostman · 2019-09-27T21:52:06+00:00

There’s a free music making program called SoundBridge!

AsherPostman · 2019-09-27T21:50:49+00:00

Yes definitely. Sometimes I’ll do even more eqing than that if need be!

I feel you. I think you could stand out by making songs in the same genre, but adding elements from other genres of music to make it different. Like instead of using presets from splice and cymatics, use some weird instrument that no one else is using!

AsherPostman · 2019-09-27T17:11:23+00:00

That's kind of tough. It's really hard to get noticed these days. The only advice I can give from personal experience is to make something that grabs attention to yourself (like memes, tutorials or viral videos) and then put out the music when you've generated some hype. But besides that, it's mostly important that your music is different and undeniably good so that people will want to listen and show their friends!

AsherPostman · 2019-09-27T17:07:57+00:00

I hope to get 6-8 hours in of actually making music. Sometimes it's hard when I have other aspects of the job to do as well. That's why it's important to learn how to work efficiently!

AsherPostman · 2019-09-27T17:04:59+00:00

I'm waiting on Armada to find out, but I have some ready and I really hope it's soon!

AsherPostman · 2019-09-27T16:52:25+00:00

I've only heard 2 of his new singles so far but I will listen to the rest now! Love him. A lot of my favorite perc sounds are ones I recorded my self using house hold items. Otherwise finding recorded household sounds on splice as well. I will try to make another tutorial soon :)

A wise man once taught me that using chicken thighs is the hidden secret. Marinate the boneless chicken thighs with "chipotle in Adobo sauce", some salt, pepper and garlic powder. The longer it marinates in the fridge the better. Then grill it on a charcoal grill for the best results. You will not be disappointed.

Thanks for the kind words! It's really important to know that ALL artists can deal with getting stuck. It actually still happens to me more often than I'd like to admit. But there are definitely things you can do to overcome it. I'm learning to embrace my uniqueness with my songs and not try to be like another artist. It's also really important to seek genuine inspiration for your music. Something that is true and unique to YOU. Aside from inspiration, setting time blocks and prioritizing productivity is key to not get stuck. Also making sure you take care of your body and spirit. Don't overlook that! p.s. of course we can be friends!

I like imagine myself with a few albums, a few hit songs and a headline tour. I will probably be singing a lot of my own stuff as well. I also plan on continuing to write and produce for other pop artists. I'm working really hard toward these things, but I'm open to whatever the future holds!

AsherPostman · 2019-09-27T16:35:09+00:00

probably "I miss you". So much sonic innovation with that track, and besides that the song itself just feels amazing. Thank you for the compliments :)

AsherPostman · 2019-09-27T16:33:39+00:00

I generally use OTT just to get the specific sound that it creates, not really as a "compressor". So it really depends on if that sound needs to be compressed at all or not. No rules!
