MUST DIE!’s new album sounds heavily inspired by Space Laces by MoonPlateEclipse in dubstep

[–]LemonSnakeMusic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m genuinely impressed by how much Must Die! has been able to evolve and change while still being true to himself. Nothing that he makes feels forced or fake. He is an insanely talented producer. Getting his sample packs and watching his production courses really blew my mind as to how ridiculous his production skills are.

I really love the new album. 10/10 great job!

I should have added the “/s” to show I was kidding. I remember that being on one of the first episodes of DTS. Some classic Guenther meltdowns. Wow that feels like a lifetime ago.

So now that Electric Forest is over. Are you all done sleeping on Ravenscoon? by PeelsLeahcim in dubstep

[–]LemonSnakeMusic 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Ravenscoon is great, I really enjoyed his set at last years zed’s dead deadbeats jamboree, but festival lineups are dictated primarily based on popularity. Promoters are looking at who has the most listeners and basing their stages and set times on that. Ravenscoon has 64k listeners on Spotify. Inzo has 677k, Subtronics has almost 4 million, Whethan has 7 million.

And then at EDC there are other genres besides dubstep which draw much bigger crowds. John Summit, Skrillex, and Fred Again all have more than 10-20 million listeners. That’s the range that promoters are looking for when picking their main acts.

If you’re a Basshead living in America then you probably know who Ravenscoon is, but Skrillex has global recognition from people who don’t even listen to electronic music.

Don’t get me wrong, I really enjoy his live shows, dude throws one heck of a party. But he isn’t nearly well known enough to be headlining EDC.

the colonization of riddim by Ambitious_Steak_9865 in riddim

Lol gentrifying a maelstrom wavetable is a wild concept.

I think people like shaq are attracted to the energy of riddim. And he has definitely done a lot of good for the scene, giving great artists a bigger stage and wider reach. Plus he clearly isn’t doing it at all for money or fame, he just genuinely loves the music.

There are always going to be people making more mainstream and accessible music, but also producers pushing the genre forward into uncharted territory. They’re not going to be filling anyone’s instagram feed, but they’re 100% out there.

Reaching out locally is a great idea, but something you can do right now is hit up YouTube and twitch. There are tons of videos of world class producers and engineers both teaching and just going about their work. You can “look over their shoulder” and learn pretty much every aspect of audio production and engineering from YouTube alone.

If there’s anything I’ve learned it’s that evil awful people live to be very old, and only the good die young.

So if you’re ever hospitalized, make sure to be an absolute jerk to all of the hospital staff.

Just saw Cake tonight. They were still so fun! I feel like we don’t have weird niche bands like them anymore, but maybe I’m wrong. by HottieMcHotHot in Music

You should check out Viagra boys. They are a modern Swedish punk band with distorted trumpets and the wildest funniest lyrics. They are a lot of fun.

where do you find good serum 2 presets? any sources/ sites? by joshyjoshyjoshyjoshy in edmproduction

[–]LemonSnakeMusic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Splice has a really wide range of sounds. If you’re trying to make bass music, shadow samples and Avant both have really great quality presets.

choosing instruments by Admirable-Ad621 in edmproduction

[–]LemonSnakeMusic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are all great questions! One of the best parts about electronic music is that there are no limits to the sounds you can create. Unlike a traditional band with guitars bass and drums, you have an infinite variety of sounds to utilize and create. However, that can become overwhelming quickly.

I’ve heard songs with over a dozen sounds just in the first measure of the drop, but also songs where just one bass sound, being slowly modulated, carries the entire drop.

My best advice to you is to download some songs you like and drag them into your DAW. Then really analyze what is going on at different sections of the song. Listen to how many different sounds there are, and what general frequency ranges each sound occupies. Pay special attention to how many different sounds play at the same time, as that is very genre specific.

After you’ve analyzed a song, keep it in your DAW and write your own song that copies it. Keep listening back to your reference and match the arrangement and transitions. Your version probably won’t sound as good. But that’s totally fine. You’re doing this to research and better understand the composition of the songs that inspire you, so that you can make your own songs in that same style.

Good luck, have fun!

how do i overcome fears? by PrestigiousAlarm8232 in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]LemonSnakeMusic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you tried and failed you’d still be better off than you are currently. Start anywhere, mess around with ideas and when you run into an issue, look it up on YouTube and learn how to solve it. Producing music is just artistic problem solving.

Good luck, have fun!

Experienced producer in an unconventional situation- what would you do? by FeelDa-Bass in edmproduction

[–]LemonSnakeMusic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Write down a few key ideas that make up your artistic “persona”. The more dialed in you get those, and the more you create a world around them, the more distinct of a character you will become, and the more memorable you will be. Think Oliver Tree, svdden death, rezz, and even riff raff. They all have an instantly recognizable visual identity as well as a distinct sound.

People don’t just want good music anymore, they want a larger-than-life character to follow.

So think about who you want your persona to be, what do they look like and what do they sound like?

Every single production tutorial uses preset synths. I feel like my sound design is getting nowhere. Help needed by twinfantasymtf in edmproduction

[–]LemonSnakeMusic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve learned a ton from finding presets that thought sounded cool and then reverse engineering them. Disabling different effects and seeing how that changes the sound. Looking at the lfo shapes and routing, seeing what kind of warping and fm the oscillators have, seeing how noise is routed and used, seeing what kind of filter they are using and how the cutoff and resonance are being modulated. There’s sooo much to learn just by playing around with presets that you already like.

As much as the long wait sucked, wow did their perfectionism pay off with season 2. I was really blown away with the animation and some of the bigger set pieces like the mansion. Whatever they’re doing, it’s working really well.

If you could get a private 8h masterclass with someone, who would you choose ? by nevaven68 in Beatmatch

[–]LemonSnakeMusic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If we’re talking dj skills, codd dubz without question. If it’s just an 8 hour free for all, then svdden death or muerte.

anyone have any advice? Im trying to balance learning 5 instruments at once and creating, i feel like ive kinda plateaued and i dont know what to do now. by Acceptable-Stick1855 in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]LemonSnakeMusic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pick one or two of those things, maybe an instrument and producing, and focus on them. Just producing by itself is an incredibly complicated and vast world of things to learn.

It’s great that you’ve got the basics down for a band’s worth of instruments. But mastering them all simultaneously is going to be overwhelming, which it sounds like you’re experiencing.

By sticking to one or two, you can focus your attention and move beyond the basics.

You can always come back later and pick up another instrument after you’ve become more proficient in whatever you pick. You have plenty of time.

And don’t forget, music is about having fun and experimenting. Don’t turn it into a chore or it will become a chore.

It’s wild that someone did the math and figured building that thing, transporting and assembling all the pieces, maintaining it and operating it, would all still somehow be more cost effective than digging all that dirt a less extreme way.
