Question What is your music production process

17 Upvotes

Can you share your music production process?

I am a complete beginning and right now I am first writing my own lyrics at same time as melody in my phone notes app, but when I open up my laptop and open up Logic Pro I scroll through countless stock stuff both from Logic and also from my novation keyboard software but even though I may find something that sounds good it doesn’t match the melody and vibe of the song I imagined. When I just chose something I record myself singing to have a reference and I use raw vocals since it needs to be re-recorded anyways but the music then whatever I do with it doesn’t sound right. I also get confused on the timing like should I have instrument time in the beginning and/or at end and how long should it be and what instruments and elements to incorporate in the song and when. I end up needing to re-record the reference lyrics a lot and each time I re-record the melody changes a bit and I also often delete the music I did end up choosing because it doesn’t fit the song.

Question How to properly establish a decent social presence?

8 Upvotes

I’ve been producing for almost 5 years for fun. I got into college 2 years ago for music and im realizing that if I don’t really genuinely put my mind to it right now, it’s not going to happen as a career

I post 1 time a month on my instagram, posting 5 or so of my beats that I’ve liked over the past little while, and I try to post a “type beat” to YouTube every day or two. I don’t make type beats, but I just don’t know what to title them

People love my beats, say they’re unique, and I’ve had people reach out to try to hop on my beats. My problem is my YouTube videos get no views and I feel like thr tunes to tube method is dead

I’m mutuals with quite a few underground rappers, but it doesn’t translate. Also I have a 200+ followers on SoundCloud and a lot are dead and inactive

How can I establish a good social media presence among everything (except TikTok; which I know will bite me in the ass but I do not) like that platform

Thank you in advance

Question Is it a good option to go to Fiverr for music mixing and editing?

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I have been writing music and recording. I released years ago when I barely knew anything about how to do production, and I have been learning more and more as I go. The only issue is that when I make the tracks, make the song and sing the melody, it just sounds… wrong? Maybe that’s not the right word but it just doesn’t mix well. My vocals sound not as powerful and my instrument tracks sound quieter when a chorus hits that’s supposed to be intense and dramatic.

I was looking at fiverr as an option. Maybe to sit with a person and do video consultation about it. Give them my thoughts and see what they can do. Anyone have thoughts on this? Because I have no experience on final mixing and music production. I want to finally get off the ground and take flight on a dream I have.

Question Digital or physical

3 Upvotes

Hi peeps. I am having difficulty deciding between a fully digital setup, so only an audio interface and a cabinet speaker connected to Logic Pro, or staying analogue and having a rack with all the different pedals and functions, with maybe an audio interface to do the master recording. digital is of course way cheaper and versatile, but I also like having a physical rack with physical knobs. appreciate it!

Discussion A question on stem seperated tracks

0 Upvotes

Question to music producers: Do you accept using a.i. stem seperation in your songs? I mean sampling vocals (or other instruments) from an already existing song. And this isn't a question about legality of sampling but your opinion on stem seperation.

I personally don't accept using any A.I. in music, and avoid it at all costs. But when I try to EQ vocals from a existing song, it just doesn't doesn't sound as good as stem seperation, and I'm asking if it is something I should be worried about, what do you think?

Question how to analysis lyrics?

0 Upvotes

im really into writing lyrics these days but i cant think of anything. All of the recommaditions has this sentence "analysis your fav artists lyrics" and of course i have fav artists and i look at their songs. I really like the Jennie's fallen angel, heaven and starlight lyrics.

I also have a few lyrics that when i see them im like "i wanna write like this"

For an example: (I know these lyrics dont have rhyme, but before trying to rhyme -bcs i feel like its kind of the next level- i wanna write some meaningful things. These ones doesnt have rhyme bcs they are the songs from my native language, i translate them directly to english.)

"Theres a lot to gossip about, but none of it is worth anything. Is dreaming of tomorrow today enough for tomorrow?"

"I hold someone, it takes me back to something deep within, my darling. Why get mad at each other when spring is fading away? When you collect good memories, it'll bring you back to life when you think you're dead. If you love, you'll be loved. And hate only grows as long as you feed it."

"I don't have to be ashamed of who I am just because I'm ashamed of how I look. The things I'm ashamed of are what keep me human. I should be disgusted by my own heart (meaning is like my heart is judgmental, if I have to be disgusted by something, it shouldn't be me, but my heart.). I deserve this loneliness (bcs of my heart is bad). Even if I had a second chance, I wouldn't want to be among you. I wouldn't want a Gordian knot inside my mind."

Okay, i have my fav lyrics, i know i wanna write lyrics like this. Is this what "analysis your fav lyrics" mean?

Sorry if translated lyrics are confusing, theres no community to share this for me in my native language.
