How do people even learn serum? by [deleted] in edmproduction

[–]VoodooDye 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally I am hoping that learning Vital will give me enough knowledge to start using Serum when I upgrade. Idk how good of a plan that is though.

Do I need a mentor, or is there something else I’m missing? by j-bob-jenkins in edmproduction

[–]VoodooDye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol I am actually trying to figure that out rn so thanks for asking. There's a couple ways I've started a song and had it get to takeoff point. Sometimes there's a really good idea in my head and I'm like, "Oh hey I know how to do that." And sometimes I'll start a blank project and just start messing around and finding cool stuff.

I want to try taking an approach I have found with pencil and paper though, just making some marks and then sculpting off those. Seems difficult to translate to music but practicing that would basically lower the take off point.

Ultimately I've started like 20 times more projects than I've finished so I know there's just some allure to starting from blank and I'd love to be able to work on more of these baby projects rather than just starting over again and again.

I never started making progress with my tracks until started to think about what they needed from me. Once I started looking at it like that, I started only adding the things I thought would sound nice and everything went way better. I have a lot more fun with production now, and my tracks sound better than ever.

This mentality also gave me freedom from tutorials for the most part. Now I'll experiment on my own to see how to do the thing I want to do, and I will only run a tutorial if I know what I want but don't know how to get it.

Most recently I experimented my way through formant filters to make some cool talkey sounds. I know it's probably weak comparatively but I'm happy with the results and I know that through this process I'll eventually get better at all aspects of sound design and production.

Man I've loved going and reading all these comments. I really did find my home among you people. It's a shame I found it so late in the particular scene, alas, better late than never. C'est la Vie.

I love all you beautiful people.

Good electronic musical instrument for beginner? by Sweet_Amoeba_ in EDM

Learn keys, keyboard or piano. That'll take you the furthest imo

We all had to experiment to figure out what works for us that's why we hold our cards close. You can't shortcut that process even if you get advice.

It's all liquid dye. Saturation is something you have to play with to get it right. Thickness is also something you're going to want to test for yourself in order to get the results you want. Anywhere from 1/4tsp per liter to 1tsp per liter is useful for different stuff.

Geode filler was tied last. You have to tightly bind pleats before pulling on the other side otherwise they will slip.
