General music production chat

[leeroy]

Hi, I thought we could have a topic where we discuss general philosophies of making music - The right and wrongs of making a track and just any tricks or tips you might want to share for people who don't have inspiration.

Discussion start:

When you are making a track, you shouldn't try too hard and you shouldn't try and do it with total ease either, it has to be in between.. but... that's tough man

My advice is to play around with a sound, loop it,cut it,stretch it or revers it. Thats the way i do it with many "basic" sounds that i make to get ideas how to "filter" it after that and to get ideas how to use it after that.

And many sounds can be made with a simple kickdrum if you distort it and eq it very far

Ps: I only mentioned sound design here,but thats a good way to start

Sounds like a good way yea but somtimes I just want to use other peoples sounds and not my own. Maybe i'll try and make sounds that I really like first and then work with that

Have you ever tried to make a melody backwards? (creating it from the last bar to the first bar)
