Making a great sounding pad is actually more tricky than getting some cool synth
and drowning it in tons of reverb. I know I tried that the first time. And
failed miserably. You don’t have to bear my pain! Will is gonna walk us through
different tricks and ideas to flesh out an ambient pad. Using a root tone,
texture tones for highs and lows, some effects and simple automations will allow
you to create a cool and easily customizeable(!) pad from scratch with any and
all wavetables that you want in there! Hope you find it useful, guys! AMN out!

Modern games have become too focused on providing a clean, balanced and no-real-obstacles experience. Sometimes I want to play a game that is a cohesive experience without being laser focused on some big idea about how I should play it. As an example, I’ve recently replayed arx fatalis. It’s really fun how you can do everything in that game that you’d want an npc for in any other. It’s also fun how each playstyle requires its own big chunk of knowledge about how the game works. Modern games try too hard to be minimalistic and fail to see the fun in a truly open experience. Even when you have options, they have all the fun pre-balanced and pre-optimized out of them. They give you too much info. No sense of discovery
lol, I might just put a small image of like 6 of them XD
Arrangement decisions. How to THINK about arrangement and songwriting to make music with clarity and intent! Video by Nathan James Larsen

Arrangement decisions. How to THINK about arrangement and songwriting to make music with clarity and intent! Video by Nathan James Larsen - sh.itjust.works
Do you ever feel like you can make a great loop but you can’t make a great song?
I don’t know if that’s your experience, but I’ve been there before, and let me
tell you, it’s a nightmare. It brings to question all of your skills that you
have developed so far, because you’ve been able to cruise through without
thinking about it. But now it just isn’t enough! I needed more variety in my
tracks. So if you’re like me then this video is just for you. Nathan goes into a
key concept about arrangement that will help you think about it in a much more
constructive way. Every instrument can be played with different articulation,
loudness, rhythm, etc. and it doesn’t have to play all the time. So Nathan poses
three big questions of arrangement: what is playing, when is it playing and how
is it being played? This video will show you how these questions give you
insight into what you were doing subconsciously (and how to answer them in a
creative way). It will provide you with a simple thinking process for
arrangement decision-making that will ease up some of that tension between
hearing the song in your mind and putting it into your DAW. So try it out!

Mixing in mono is one of those production “tricks” that have solidified in my
mixing routine to achieve clearer mixes. It’s a really easy shortcut to hearing
levels and even frequencies of everything in your track without the distraction
of stereo imaging. It also helps to figure out phase issues between closely
tuned kicks and bass and correct your synth sound design too! But sometimes the
immediate benefit it gives us gets outweighed by a longterm one of improving
your critical hearing skills. For example, if you use mono to hear frequency
fighting between instruments, you’re undercutting your learning experience of
properly working with frequencies in stereo. After all, it’s not uncommon to pan
different instruments asymmetrically. Having stereo means you have two different
signals that should be shaped on their own terms. Michael is going to walk us
through some of the things that mixing in mono can be used for and give some
perspective on how those particular uses stack up in a more robust or specific
production workflow. And, I hope this knowledge helps you in your own
productions!

Hey! If you're looking for active music production communities, consider these options! - sh.itjust.works
Hey. I’ve noticed this community has been pretty silent for quite a while. This
was one of the reasons I made a music production community over at
waveform.social (link below). If you want to discuss music stuff, a specialized
instance is way better than sticking to the drama of large instances (a lesson I
learned only after creating the community at sh.itjust.works) I’ve been posting
content over at waveform.social, lemmy.studio and sh.itjust.works, all in their
respective music production communities. Waveform.social and lemmy.studio have
other active communities related to making music all about synthesizers, gear
and DAWs. If you want to participate, head over to any instance that strikes
your fancy and check it out! Waveform.social link:

moderator here is still active, feel free to delete this post. I’ll be happy to
post my content here if I know it’s still being moderated!
