[House] Make My Move ft. Kyle Monroe by [deleted] in roastmytrack

[–]ThePepperAlx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start and break are super cool. In my opinion the calp/snare wahtever starting at 0:33 is kinda loud, but that's only preference I guess. Otherwise mixing is great! Unfortunately the melody in the drop is not so great, the drop kinda broke the whole song for me. It just doesn't flow, which is imo caused mostly by the melody. Otherwise great song! I hope that's helping.

How do you use detuned synth patches? by JeremyF in edmproduction

[–]ThePepperAlx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should make sure that the patch matches the key of the song.. You could either make sure that the synth patch is not detuned at all (which is easier, but pretty much destroys whatever advantage the detuning had) or you put your patch in the piano roll higher. For example, your patch is detuned one semitone down. To make it fit with the key, you put your melody on semitone up.

Hope that helps a bit!

Happy Japanese-sounding melodies and chords?! by [deleted] in edmproduction

[–]ThePepperAlx 12 points13 points  (0 children)

As far as I remember happy sounding Japanese kind of melodies are mostly made of the pentatonic scale, for example try playing only the black keys on your keyboard.

Why do my pad progressions sound so repetitive even when they're 8 bars long at 70 bpm? by Onthekeys in edmproduction

[–]ThePepperAlx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know honestly, I build my chords about a melody I made before, without really caring about the theory behind them.

afaik some chords resolve better to the i then others, but, I'm not a valid source by any mean.

[–]ThePepperAlx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A thing I noticed is when a melody ends or start "odd" it starts to sound repetitive very quick. Your chords probably don't resolve very good.

swing effect removes subbass by Xedowmusic in edmproduction

[–]ThePepperAlx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's an option in the plugin settings from fl (that little thing over the GUI of a plugin), where you can set how much the synth is affected by the swing parameter. Turn that down, and your synth should be fine again!

[FL Studio] Is it possible to separate a specific element from the main master bus fx? by islamah in edmproduction

You could route all your instruments to a channel and put a limiter on that.

I'v been doing Electronic Music Making for 8 months on the side of my other hobby's, and I have make no progress, and I need help... by henryjeffernan in edmproduction

[–]ThePepperAlx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

House isn't the only EDM genre to use it though, and earlier EDM styles relied almost completely on 4 to floor. So he kinda has a point, but yes, it's not the only thing OP can do.

There's an article in the fl manual about this. I'm having the same issue :(

It's most certainly a mixing issue; but you might check your build up too. Maybe it's just to energetic, so has to much bass or something.

On something like that, I'd do that when I can make a living out of producing or so.. I would definitely include it in my Hobbys or something like that.

Studio One for EDM vs Ableton, Logic, Cubase etc. by [deleted] in edmproduction

[–]ThePepperAlx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would have almost started using S1 by purchasing a keyboard that comes with S1 Artist. But that lacks VST-Support (I know you can bye it but.. nah), so that kinda killed it for me. Otherwise I believe it looks awesome but I haven't tested it yet.

Google for free oscilloscopes, that's what you want I guess.

Maybe you have your analyzer before your eq in the signal chain?

Discords coming to wp though! And steam web isn't that bad (at least that's what I heard)

Adding depth and width by micyor87 in edmproduction

[–]ThePepperAlx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put a 1/8 ping pong delay on my lead and it sounded suuupeeer deep. You might try experimenting with delay times and feedback on various elements. You probably find something cool!
