So the work upon my track "Somewhere Out There," is a bit tough like always, I have a vision of something smooth almost like a jazzy feel with drums but I have no clue how to build a jazzy track. The only things I have attempted are house, dubstep, dnb, and trap tracks, unfortunately DnB and my house tracks are the only ones that come close to what I want so I will be taking a different approach. Instead of jazzy I will got for a soft dnb, with a lot of reverb to lighten the hits and of course a lot of compression. My little experience limits my progress. I am struggling with putting my drums in without screwing the sound of the track that already exist, although I am left with an obvious thought of screw it, just change the whole thing after the rise and drop located nearly center of the track. But how will I go about that and use the sounds that exist? Should I take notes from dubstep and chop the shit out of my ambience and make a rhythm with them or sample my own ambience to make different sounds from them? Either way I am in a world of hurt.
It has come to my attention while surfing the internet of forums that music forums are quite dead now-a-days, I was late to the party, the hay days look to be around and before 2010. This forum like the rest of them, with no offense to the admin because they are really the only people here, has a very small to no community. On top of this I do understand that I am the only one who likes EDM, which I would say is concerning since EDM has been seen as the devil himself in the music industry because "no talent" is needed, this is a blatant lie. With that in mind the people here may be different because of the love for music in general, most people who criticize specific genres do not understand that all music connects in one way or another but enough of the downer-talker--I want to move on to objectives.
While watching a video about "blowing up" in the rap game I came across a number, 40,000. The number of views required to get posted on WorldStarHipHop is 40,000, this was back in 2010 so I have no idea if they raised the numbers because of the ever soaring amounts of people making music but I think I found a long term goal. Now this is for the hip-hop side of music, I attempt to rap and lets just say my rap game is weaker then Young Thug's, so I want to hold 40,000 views on Youtube as a marker for the electronic side as well.
Today, I will continue on the track "Somewhere out there," and start making a YT channel for the music as well as art for the channel, by the way if anyone is good at cover art or banners I would appreciate the charity. Other tracks I would like to work on today as well is one of my older projects called "DFG," it needs a major update with compression and EQ.
