NEED HELP! Complextro?

[DjSweekUh]

kinda porter robinson-y I want to make it more electro and less dub/bro-y

also structure advice and what not is appreciated this is basically buildup into drop

Hey! I like the sound of it all, and your headed the right direction, the only thing I think you need is a solid chord progression. In fact, today I sat down, and came up with this: C Minor, Ab Major, G Major, and then B Diminished. Then I made up the drop of a bunch of synths that played around these note, such as the leading tones in C minor: D natural, and B natural. Just learn some basic theory and it can do wonder! Oh, and stay away from loops

Here's the track I made if you want an idea of what I'm talking about:



Cheers! and good luck! I want to hear the finished project

I actually heard that earlier it sounds good. I see what your saayin bout the chords I kids rushed this. Also this is all produced by me no outside loops if that's what your talking about. Thanks for the help

What VST's do you use when producing this and what techniques? There is no room for any frequencies and they seem to overlap and there is no distinctive sound space. You get no picture of the track if you know what I'm saying? Also, try to play the different sounds in the same key or in a progression. There is a ton of notes that are false or detuned so they don't fit in the mix. Try getting some chorus effects and reverbs going and dub/ping pong delay on those one hit sounds to create a picture and some room! Also try compressing abit more.

To get a more electro-y feel add a section with hardcore sidechain compression. It'll give it that classic bounce.

I like the idea of this forum so I decided to register and give some input.

For the dub part of complextro i suggest picking up Kontact or using ableton. Resampling your own bass/synths will help a ton. It will allow you to get tighter sounding hits while you switch up. Working on a new style of producing this type of music, and ill get back to you guys on the success or failure.

BTW. when registering. question was ... what letter comes after the letter B in the alphabet. the alphaBet. its E. =) not c
