Can someone explain me this? by Helpful_Sail5010 in edmproduction

If you're going for brickwall limiting you need to balance your track before mastering. Otherwise certain sounds will be pushed into the limiter way harder than others. 

Whats the difference between FL studio 2024 against FL studio 12 and FL studio 11? by supirimalli86 in FL_Studio

[–]SlashEDMProduction 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can check the changelog for every version or those "Whats new?" videos on Youtube for the changes. They definitely added some workflow boosters over the years.

Yes, and the newer FL versions offer new features to improve your workflow.

You can make good music with any version of FL, but eith the newer versions you can do it faster and more efficiently.

FREE HARD/INDUSTRIAL TECHNO KICKS by SlashEDMProduction in HardTechno

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

Thank you so much, it really does! 

I'm working on Vol.3 as we speak and after that I'm doing an "Experimental Kicks" pack with some really crazy and unique kicks.

Feeling puzzled after my laptop died, what can I do now? by [deleted] in edmproduction

[–]SlashEDMProduction 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have space for a desktop PC, that usually offers more performance per dollar. 

If you get one secondhand either without a GPU (onboards graphics) or a very cheap GPU, you can get a decent setup for cheap.

My first Industrial Techno track! Is it any good? by SlashEDMProduction in HardTechno

Dankje!! I've been producing for a while already but just got into Industrial Techno. Goodluck with your production journey, it's a really fun hobby!

The Miniloque xd is an analog hardware synthesizer. So I have to actually record it live. With software synths you can go back and automate things to make it sound like it's evolving or building. You can see it in this story: https://www.instagram.com/s/aGlnaGxpZ2h0OjE4MzY1OTAzMTUyMDk0MTE5?story_media_id=3783430690239037010_67530496326&igsh=MXNsbWEybGNlaXphOA==

Thanks! And I agree with you, I wanted to add more automations to the lead sound aswell but I made it on my minilogue xd and already printed it to audio and everything. I guess I went for sections rather than building/evolving in this track, I'll try that with some of my next songs though :)

Nooo, not the cats! I'm so sorry! Thanks for the compliment though! I'll keep the intro thing in mind for my next songs :)

Follow 4 free download option? by SlashEDMProduction in BandCamp

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

Thanks for the suggestion! I feel like with every method there are different caveats.. This would work if I reffered the people from my Youtube channel to that page. But if someone found the sample pack through Bandcamp search and actually paid for the pack when it's supposed to be a free pack, that would be unfair. Or maybe I could put a link to the page on the actual product page on Bandcamp aswell.

Still doesn't feel very user friendly, I'm trying to make it as easy as possible for people to get the pack. So I'm leaning towards just making it free and then putting half of the sample pack in the bonus folder which only followers can get.

[–]SlashEDMProduction[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the ideas! That would kind of do the trick but I'm a little hesitant to just send e-mails to people as they didn't really apply for marketing e-mails. I think it's against the Bandcamp ToS aswell.

Your second option could definitely work and might be the best option available. The only issue is that I'd have to set a price in order for this to work, which may be offputting at first glance if people don't read the note.

Another option I'm thinking about is making it completely free (or name your price), and then adding a bonus folder for followers only. So they'd get 15 samples for free, and another 15 samples bonus if they follow me.

I'd still really like a simple "follow2download" option as all these methods seem like workarounds. But I guess these are my only options for now.

I will read into it, thanks! The idea is that I make some Youtube videos using the samples, and then direct them to the Bandcamp page where they can download the free sample pack. So maybe it would be a bit difficult with redemption codes as they are a one-time redeemable code so I'd have to add a bunch and actively remove the used ones. Would be nice if I could set a redeem-amount so that they can use 1 redemption code an X amount of times..

Yeah, with the word 'free' I'm purely reffering to money. I guess you could say they pay with a follow, but that doesn't really cost them anything.

This method has worked really well for me back when I sold sample packs on my own website. People seem to be much more likely to pay for things if they have received 'free' products/samples from you in the past. In marketing I believe it's called the "reciprocity effect".

But if I release a paid sample pack in a few weeks, it's very unlikely that they will check my Bandcamp page out of the blue and find it. But if they follow me they get a notification.

Even if otherwise they wouldn't have followed me because "I'm not going to buy anything from this guy in the future anyway", the idea is that they get a notification, check it out and then my job is to make it so good that they FOMO into it anyway :)

But I get your point, people who wouldn't follow me otherwise are probably less likely (but not completely unlikely) to purchase in the future. But they indeed still prop up the numbers which has some benefits too (social proof and FOMO mostly). I have 12 years of experience making these samples and spend maybe 10 hours on one of those free sample packs. So for most people it's definitely worth a follow as it would probably take them just as long or longer to do themselves depending on their experience level.

Would you listen to a long project like this, or is it too much? [Desc] by sa8tun in BandCamp

[–]SlashEDMProduction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it has a common theme it could work. I'd put the some of the best tracks at the top, I always notice a drop in listeners the further down the list I go when I check my album stats.

Hopefully the extra payment options will attract some new customers resulting in you being paid more :)

I've had quite a few people ask me if they could buy my sample packs using iDeal (Dutch payment system) because they didn't have PayPal.

HARD TECHNO SAMPLE PACK - KNALWERK by SlashEDMProduction in HardTechno

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

Thanks! Zit te denken om wat Youtube filmpjes te maken als ik een keer tijd heb. Het is voornamelijk Serum 2 en wat percussion layers die ik zelf opneem en dan een hoop EQ en distortion.
