Ok, this is my first somewhat serious project. I listened to the first episode of Ableton Accessibility - I learned the rest from this forum (thanks @rudolf) and from the Internet or I discovered some functions myself.

Nice seeing your progress! Now, speaking of progress, it's important to not lose the grib and continue learning how important the mix - e.g. audio- and midi-effects - is! I suggest checking out automation and get to know how important wooshes, uplifters, downlifters, risers and buildups are. And in elEDM or techno related genres it is in my opinion important to play around with sound transformations while the mix is underway, such as highpass filters and automations, combining multiple instruments or synths to create an over all synth and experimenting with device-specific settings. That are some of the things I do.
Edit: I think those posts of mine actually can be moved into the DJ topic since this basically just is theory.

For example, the secret of post 64 is combining a piano, guitar and pretty beepy sounding synth together. This sounds absurt at first, but the over all sound is great and the synth even replaced the bass! Then just adjust the volumes, positions in the stereo mix and device-specific parameters and yu're basically good to go. I also added some sidechain which is essencially in EDM. Also I'm writing that for everyone here who doesn't knot that, this stuff actually is fairly important imo.

And sidechain, for those who don't know, essencially is an audio effect that temporally mutes or lowers the volume of the instrument it is applied on every beat and then brings it back again. People use this to create space in the mix to let the drum kicks sound proper.

Agreed. The current state of things is slightly confusing.

So for some reason the music thread is locked, and I thought this will be the best topic I can post this in :) Yes, I was very bored.

sometimes the bass is a little bit out of key I think. Think it is on the 4rd bar and I shoul lower the bass by 1 octave

#96 Adasadula

Yes, the bass key and octave doesn't match at all, but overall quite pleasant track :)

Yeah I was a bit unsure on that one LOL.

I'm not a musician and my skills are totally basic.
Things which i created is always easy without extra melodies and sometimes idiotic, but You've given me a good idea. I'll have to check out Ableton when I have some free time. My biggest problem is that I don't know how to use quantisation in Reaper and I don't have any good vst instruments.


Sygnatura to może być w sądzie. Sygnatura sprawy np. :P

Quantisation in reaper isn't difficult :D, a lot of VST Instruments you can download from a reaperaccessible fr page.
