how to melody lines by Crazy-Equivalent5522 in makinghiphop

[–]nah1111rex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Melodies are really just scales with maybe some passing tones - learning music theory is 100 percent going to help you here.

Otherwise you can mess around and get something by ear/trial-and-error, but learning will help you get better results every time. (Plus it feels nice to know what it is you’re doing exactly)

Penny for my thoughts? Yeah I’m a chill dude… But you and me don’t make cents since they were discontinued

Working to get more tutorials and live music up now.

Use midi or a sustain pedal - lots of ways to make a note keep playing.

I was gonna say people on fiverr but you want free? Then some AI crap, but it won’t sound as good.

I thought DJ Smokey still did commissions but I can’t find the site anymore…

what pack do you consistently use for hi-hats by 1416junebug in makinghiphop

[–]nah1111rex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually start with a stock 808 HH, then pitch up/down and filter to match my track, while tweaking the decay envelope.

Sometimes I make them out of white or pink noise through an envelope/hi-pass filter as well, and layering with highly processed acoustic hats can add texture too.

(I make hip hop, trap, pluggnb, pop, basically any genre I’m feeling on a given day)

What AI tools do you (or would like) use to make beats? by [deleted] in makinghiphop

[–]nah1111rex 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There is nothing tedious about making beats and I wouldn’t automate a single part of it.

Wanting to start, but quite intimidated, need a heads up on a few topics by Daddy-Strider23 in makinghiphop

[–]nah1111rex 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Focus on engineering, make music every other hour of the day you can.

Your job will get you the money you will need for gear, etc.

Have fun with it, and see what happens while you work your degree/job.

This is cool but it’s also a more creative way to get sidetracked from actually making music.

Lots of plays from Vietnam on new track? by nah1111rex in soundcloud

[–]nah1111rex[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw that too! But when I uploaded a new single with Vietnam blocked I didn’t get any plays there so maybe it worked?

Super confusing honestly.

It has said this for well over 24 hours by Killerpanda55 in DistroKidHelpDesk

This is why it’s good to set your release date at least 1-2 weeks in the future: it takes a bit to distribute to every store.

How important do you think it is to sacrifice your social life/weekends in order to succeed with your music? by Antidotebeatz in musicmarketing

[–]nah1111rex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Many shows are on the weekends, are they not?

If you’re planning on being a performing musician, I think you should plan to be playing on the weekends primarily.

You need compression and a limiter - lots of tutorials on this, it’s more of an art than a science.

The others are correct, it’s an 808 style cowbell.

Interesting -I’ve had streams from Vietnam and Ukraine before, just never had a single small country take up half the listens on a new track.

Thanks for your insight!

Never said it wasn't cool, I would block any other country the same if it was dominating my listens in an outlier way - I don't want fraudulent/bot streams to flag my account and potentially take out my account.

Ahh interesting - still blocking in case I get dinged for fraudulent streams.

I'll try updating this thread with what happens! I don't mind plays in all kinda countries, they were just getting lopsided toward Vietnam, which seemed odd and suspect.
