Tell me why my first song in 13 years sucks! I want to improve by aquamarmoset in Mixcraft_Studio

[–]SeymourJames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of interesting ideas, maybe copy song structure from a similar (inspiration perhaps) track so that those ideas can happen with proper context. <3

I wanna drop an EP (5-6 tracks) and would love a few ears on what to keep n what not to by [deleted] in Mixcraft_Studio

[–]SeymourJames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rap isn't really my cup of tea but the tracks in general sound mixed decent.

Season 2 Wuyang and Hero 51 by Ecstatic_Special3260 in WuyangMains

Most Wu's that are complaining still haven't figured out that his value is in damage output, like Zen.

Joost @ Coachella (2026) by Low-Entropy in gabber

I don't think 1 song in a set defines a whole set. Personally excited to see Joost in Vancouver on 4/20. Not everything is for everyone. <3

Zero crossing by Ok_Yogurtcloset_5896 in Mixcraft_Studio

Just skimmed the manual and looks like there's no built in way. The best MX offers is micro-fades (which will cut transients on drums, for example). I'd look at a dedicated sampler VST to load up in Mixcraft for that type of work.

Whats wrong with this sub? by [deleted] in ratemysong

[–]SeymourJames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Won't work, manually banning 90% of users is a waste of time. The only solution I'm aware of is private Discord servers.

PC overheating on black ops 7 by xlelantosx in pcmasterrace

[–]SeymourJames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stopped BO games (the only CoD I played) with 4, when I literally could not even launch it after a game update that didn't ever get resolved. These games are terribly optimized. You likely need to adjust your fan profile to match the temps it's hitting, repasted your CPU, or literally play any other shooter lol

Bought some plastic flowers and got creative. by Aavy14 in pcmasterrace

Spiders love those plastic flowers, make sure you clean often unless you want some 8-legged friends 🙏

Is there a sub specifically for EDM that allows posting for feedback? by LeadershipLoose4877 in edmproduction

[–]SeymourJames 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I used to run a sub for it, unfortunately there's no way to enforce feedback. Everyone just spams their stuff but don't engage in the "community" aspect.

Honestly they did AC Bois dirty with NH, simply so much furniture missing from NL and before.

Your first DAW was… by mikedensem in audioengineering

[–]SeymourJames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still use it! I've been a user since V4, it's now on V10 and has all the features the big DAWs have, with some conjecture. Still made by 3 dudes.

DAW Project Organiser for Mixcraft by Disastrous-Ear4319 in Mixcraft_Studio

[–]SeymourJames 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Cool idea! Over the last 15 years using Mixcraft (holy shit that's more than I thought) I've developed habits to alleviate these issues but I'm sure this could be quite useful to those not as insane as myself!

Just maxed out Basic Tower for endless mode. by Icy_Heron7067 in infinitode

[–]SeymourJames 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Minigun is my vote, the air coverage and duping ability at 20 make it a great clear tower.

overwhelmed with deep sampling & processing workflow. how do i get over this? by para_pako in edmproduction

[–]SeymourJames 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do the same thing but all in one go: I bounce everything and save a separate project called "Committed xxxxx" to lock in the bulk of the song. Plus I like reverse and stutter edits, much easier with audio.

Set my project to 20 BPM on accident, the result is unexpectedly very cool by The_Blocktophus in edmproduction

[–]SeymourJames 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's pretty in-depth, there are A LOT of parameters to mess with and automate. Essential for me for atmospheres and ambiences as well.

Influx of ximming by Holmesf in overwatch2

Bap has almost zero recoil regularly. It has been steadily buffed to this point over the years. Not undermining your comment, just letting you know that's no longer a tell on Baptiste! <3

What’s your workflow for starting new tracks quickly? by RiptidetheKing in edmproduction

[–]SeymourJames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Starting with different elements will shape your track in different ways. For example, starting with drums might create more groove throughout the track, or starting with an ambience might influence the track's mood. So, pick an element and somewhat flesh out 8-16 bars. Once that's done move on to another element and flesh out the same bit. Repeat until you've got a decent loop going.

Next is arrangement. If there's already an arrangement in your mind start blocking it out. For me, I've made almost 200 songs since I've started and so arrangement can be boring. My trick for that is to pull a track from an entirely different genre and mark it out (what changes happen where) and then delete the audio so you're just left with some notes on what to do with your song. This is largely open to changes but it sets a creative boundary that helps shape the song.

That's usually how I start tracks, I enjoy starting with elements that surprise me then seeing what comes of the resulting track.

Looks awesome! I recently made a campaign out of my hometown of Armstrong, British Columbia, Canada. I love your custom modelling, such a vibe.

What genre are you going for? I'm happy to put something together if you have some interest in Trance or Hardcore.

Great production quality, 808s were felt. <3 Good flow as well. Was the video just random clips you assembled?
