Social sample library and beat workshop; learning music production

Hello 911 🤳☎️

I would like to report a Banger in progress ‼️❌🚨😡



Someone call George Clinton cuz it's gettin funky

A# Minor 160bpm
 
Next project is to turn this into a banger dubstep or jungle track:



It's one of my favorite songs
 
This one seems to be coming along ok.



Although it sort of feels a bit empty for some reason. I don't think adding any more percussion or melodic elements would really do it justice and it would probably just become messy. I am wanting to write a couple lyrics, and try to find a way to add some vocals in a tasteful manner. But, I do think I'm starting to come along a bit stylistically as far as hitting a niche kind of approach or style that I have fun writing. These kinds of uptempo tracks, composed of some rearranged drum breaks, keys or other primary melodic instrument, with a mid + sub bass, and throwing that crazy foghorn or other impact type of sound on top, it seems like it could be a winning recipe if I refine it a bit further.

I think I just like making these kinds of songs. They're not happy necessarily, but they're not like sad or dark either, which is a stark departure from the songs I've written most of my life.

I enrolled in a pretty comprehensive music course and learning platform, and have gained access to entire courses with quality learning material, as well as a community of other producers, and solid instructors that I can bounce ideas off of.

I'm really excited about it. It's going well so far and I've already learned a lot. It feels like this is really the only thing in my life that has ever brought me any kind of pure joy. I may not be great at music, but to me, it's more than just a casual hobby. So I think I owe it to myself to approach it as a serious pursuit and exhaust all avenues of learning and growth, and I'm happy to say that I am making progress with that.

I have added a ton more packs of samples, Serum synth presets, and a lot of .PDFs of music production guides and tips. They are hosted on a Google Drive, which I have linked on my Discord.

Here, I'll refresh the link:


Anyone is welcome, all I will say is that it's got nothing to do with bluelight and so I don't wanna talk about bluelight there. But if you have any interest in music I'd love to have you.
 
Deficit thank you for posting this. I have had a major life event, unexpected death of a significant other due to Covid but it literally manifested itself in all kinds of destructive dangerous behaviors addiction related hell yeah and I am still dealing with it but one of the best ways to deal with such raw emotion is to create song. I have written a lot of lyrics and poems and I have been hearing from some close friends that they are pretty damn good some of them I might want to turn into raps with beats but I’m not even sure if I would be the best person to voice / sing it even though they are my words. You have any interest in possibly teaming up or giving me your assessment on my work? This goes for anyone but I feel hesitant to just post the lyrics since I really took the time to write them well.
