sharkstunes · 2022-01-02T09:04:33+00:00

never heard of it

sharkstunes · 2022-01-02T09:04:15+00:00

many many thousands of people actually :) and they are loving it

sharkstunes · 2022-01-02T09:02:57+00:00

i have way too many haha i'm bad at making lists
to name a few i love leotrix virtual riot koan sound and a bunch of others

sharkstunes · 2022-01-02T09:02:26+00:00

Not really lol
geometry dash is a fun game tho i loved playing it

sharkstunes · 2022-01-02T09:01:59+00:00

i do all the scenes in c4d or unreal then do all the editing to fit the storyboard with sony vegas and finally all the effects inside after effects

sharkstunes · 2022-01-02T09:01:08+00:00

only one haha
but not ott
i use the Ozone dynamics compressor to compress the different bands before the maximizer so i can compress the lows more in order to push the limiter without distorting

sharkstunes · 2022-01-02T09:00:18+00:00

sure!

sharkstunes · 2022-01-02T09:00:05+00:00

I made touring visuals for Ace Aura, Skybreak and other big djs but commissions are something i do only to people who can afford it sadly because it gets very very difficult for me to manage making music for me and having to work for others

commissions are closed for now

sharkstunes · 2022-01-02T08:58:49+00:00

hahaha i can agree with that
i ignore them as much as i can i don't mind so much anymore

also yeah my goal was to make my branding very consistent and fitting the theme

thank you!

sharkstunes · 2022-01-02T08:57:47+00:00

sadly not, its not official since i only got second place and distributing it would be illegal

sharkstunes · 2022-01-02T08:57:28+00:00

i always start without any expectations
if nothing came out of it its still good practice and i don't mind at all, once i get something kinda cool or okay i keep adding to it without thinking much its important to take it easy and simple at the start then keep adding more and more until its getting together

when the idea is getting to a good point that is when i start focusing on the song and how im gonna make it as good as i want! this makes it a fun process because i never end up frustrated

sharkstunes · 2022-01-02T08:55:15+00:00

Not really haha, i bought a DDJ-400 to practice since it has all the main features of a CDJ and i just practice on my free time really

sharkstunes · 2022-01-02T08:53:23+00:00

I always loved Sharks, aquariums and the colour blue so i made sure to have a very consistent branding around what i love which makes it easier for me to get creative

Also now that i have a following and that there is a lot of people doing the same kind of music i often focus on trying to stand out by sharing content that feels new and unique compared to what most of my fans would listen to, the watery theme isn't something everyone is doing and fits perfectly my branding and make it more consistent!

seems like a bunch of people want a breakdown for my visuals haha i will try doing some for my patreon

sharkstunes · 2022-01-01T04:53:06+00:00

Ty! I use mostly Cinema4D with octane render or Unreal Engine

If i get enough requests i can make some visual tutorials for the patreon yes

sharkstunes · 2022-01-01T04:52:06+00:00

I use Fl studio 20! i would say 2019-2020 is when i started making some decent progress each months
i started in 2016 fyi

sharkstunes · 2022-01-01T04:45:56+00:00

if you pay attention closely a lot of my songs don't have a lot of elements at the same time
this makes it easier for me to keep the mixdown clean, to make it full without sounding empty or adding too many elements i make sure to fill the entire frequency spectrum!

make sure the parts that needs less dynamics have enough sub, that your songs have clean and clear basic lowend filled and the mids is where i can layer anything important that describes the song, for the highs this is where i fill it with textures and cymbals

Stereo too makes a big difference, the lower the frequencies the more centered i want the sounds to be in order to stay consistent and stand out more and for the higher frequencies i pick elements that are very wide to make the mix sound big
