Ok on the last video we made the track lift and separate. Using pan and volume to break up the “messiness” of the track. Start by listening to the Audio rendering for the first track. You should be able to hear how that little bit of tweaking helped.
Notice how the elements of the track are no longer stumbling over each other to get noticed? By using a little bit of my separation technique in the song you will be able to make any track more easy to listen to.
As a Music Producer; whether just for your songs or someone else’s, that’s your main goal, to make the songs better and easier to listen to.
Ok now that you know something about cleaning up a messy track, heres the next problem. We have a nice little jam there, but its repetitive.
The second biggest sin of using Acid Music Studio and related Software Programs is repetition. Using loops tends to make a song monotonous, and/or repetitive. Some people like music that just keeps going on the same, most dont.
You will need to find ways to break up the repetitive nature of loop based music.
So heres what we can do about that. Keep in mind this is only an example. In reality making a track sound really bad ass can take hours, but dont feel overwhelmed. Thats what Im doing this site for.
By placing odd, or just unique elements into the track you can break things up. I have made a dance track and just thrown 5 or 6 new elements into the track randomly.
The fun part is taking those random elements and making them sound good inside the song.
That is where you can spend hours crafting a track. Its also where things start getting more artistic.
Acid Music Studio makes it easy to go in a craft your songs just the way you want them, or just throw something together in a few minutes for the fun of it.
Note: Buying Loops involves a license to use them for YOUR purposes. A person can NOT pass on this License. DO NOT BUY USED LOOP COLLECTIONS! The same goes for the Production Software. Buying used means you DO NOT have a legal license to use either, and you can be sued for stealing if your music starts making sells.
This is very impressive. How long did it take you to learn how to do all this?
