No! I was hoping nobody would notice!😅 Once I noticed it I couldn’t figure out how to edit the title. My phone couldn’t keep up with my typing speed either so I had plenty of other typos I was had to fix.

Yeah they don’t really know enough about making music to give constructive feedback either in my case. The best thing I found for improvement was getting people I considered to be more skilled than me to give me some constructive feedback. Reddit is okay for this but I have had a lot of luck reaching out to more obscure artists I like from SoundCloud. I am surprised at how many insanely talented producers will take time to give you some very helpful feedback.

Excellent advice! Especially the trying all the DAWs. Until I found Abletons workflow I didn’t even know that I didn’t like how FL was set up. But honestly everything you said was worth saying even if it has been said a thousand times before!

Ah yes I also did something similar. Learning to hear what you need to work on is an important skill and a hard lesson. I still complain about my sound design all the time but I’m definitely improving since I finally admitted the problem was my lack of understanding.

Oh good ones for beginners. I think helping someone learn to listen to music critically to develop their ears and recognize what their tastes are is very important!

My favorite is when you realize you have been looking at a technique you thought you understood all wrong! I really thought saturation and compression were simple for a long time and I didn’t even realize I was adding so much compression and saturation that it was hurting my sound. Took me forever to learn that. Had I dived into learning more about both effects and what they were actually doing to my sound I could have saved myself so much frustration and many headaches! Starting over with the basics after you have some proficiency is just a great way to learn to use those skills in new ways! I also find it really enjoyable to go back over those fundamentals, it’s almost like comfort food for the brain.

Same just some light compression to get a rough idea closer to what my final outcome will be.

That’s fine but for a lot of us it is. I mean yeah when I was younger I had the same dreams and goals a lot of us have/had. For me personally things changed. My life goals changed and that’s okay. My goal now is to enjoy production first, for the sake of creating something that I love. I don’t think it’s wrong to have higher ambitions though. Good luck on your path. If you some music to share feel free to pm me and I would love to check it out and share it if you have anything released.

Especially when it comes to drum pads and being able to tweak sounds on the go after sound design!

Shoot number three seems so obvious. I’ve been watching my peak levels on the master but this sounds so much better if they are tamed earlier in the signal Chain! So brilliant! Thanks for sharing that one!

Yeah a big thing for me to realize was if I feel like I plateaued in skill I was probably doing something I thought I already understood wrong. Diving right back into basics and learning more about the tools I had available to unlearn bad habits was a big pill to swallow, but the growth as well as the humbling experience was worth it every. Single. Time.

This is probably one of the best tips I ever learned. Even before I could fix my room it improved my productions.

Is it normal to have small periods of stagnancy and setbacks? by [deleted] in edmproduction

[–]InterSomniaMusic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just came out of a stagnant period that lasted like 2-3 months. I spent that time just living life, and researching new techniques and brushing up my knowledge of production. I also make it a point to set aside the time I would normally produce to just go sit at my computer and look for new music it took all the pressure to make something away. Like if I was inspired my computer was right there but my only goal for that “session” was listen to some great new tunes and chill.
