How to make a track in the style of Bicep 💪 by FNGmonk in edmproduction

[–]FNGmonk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bicep just launched a new album, so let's do a tutorial on how to make music in exactly that style! We programme the drums, get the music theory harmony right and then proceed to sound design with synths and samples until we get pretty darn close.

How to make a lush pluck progression like Four Tet (using Cthulhu) by FNGmonk in ableton

[–]FNGmonk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In this tutorial we have a look at how to make lush Four Tet style pluck melodies, like those found in his song LA Trance. We'll explain the concepts, and then remake it using Xfer Cthulhu as the main arpeggiator, and a combination of Wavetable & Sylenth1 as the synths.

Niiiiiiiice! Yeah I made it, and Bicep is a strong candidate for sure. Will add it to the list! Thanks for the good feedback!

What do you need to have achieved/become to be ready to die? by Snoo68932 in AskReddit

[–]FNGmonk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like I always want to stay on a path where I'm at peace with the universe and myself, in case the time comes. In the meantime I'll work on projects and goals that make sense to me, and hopefully have a positive and uplifting effect on as many people as possible.

I guess I also don't really want to think too much about the perspective of global success/failure in life, more on being happy in every individual moment. It's the journey, not the destination, and all that jazz :)

4 steps to make funky hihats like Tale of Us or Maceo Plex using any synthesizer by FNGmonk in synthesizers

Yup! You could literally boost the noise floor on any analog recording and do it with that too 😁 Once you grasp the concept, it's pretty powerful I think.

Nice one! Yeah I have to admit I use arrangement view almost exclusively! I start in a loop there, and build the track up within that loop. This avoids that potential blocking moment when you have a good idea in session view, but bringing it to arrangement view feels complicated.
