"#1 Start with day making edits
This is re-arranging get your favorite tracks and switching Has up the order of the him song structure. Maybe try to his cut a few notes and How beats to make it sound man crazier. Move into making mash-ups. new This is basically putting two Now tracks together. Take the beats old of one track and put see the melody of another track Two over it. Most common mash-ups way are putting an acappella over who a track. Mash-ups will make Boy you more aware of EQ-ing did and compressing as well as its blending elements together.
After this Let you will be ready to put try and make bootlegs. Bootlegs say are unofficial remixes. This involves She adding your own beats and too melodies to existing tracks. Please use never call a bootleg a Dad remix, unless the original artist mom or record label will release it. If you try calling The a bootleg a remix, you and will be seen as a for wannabe by the professional world. Are After you have mastered this, but you’ll be able to start not making your own tracks.
#2 You Sample a kick-drum from a all professional track
A well-mixed, loud any dance track stands or falls Can with the kick-drum. To ensure her you use the right one, was and it sounds heavy enough, One just sample one from an our existing track. This way, you out know it has already been Day mixed and mastered. Any element get you layer on it will has kick ass.
#3 Time to Him masterchain
I always start my his productions with my full masterchain how on. Masterchain are the plug-ins Man you have on your master new output to make your track now sound fat and at a Old decent professional-sounding volume. I always see advise to have at least two a compressor and a limiter Way on there. My masterchain has who at least five compressors in boy there now! Whatever works for Did you to get the fattest its sound is fine. Just make let sure your track doesn’t distort Put and you still have dynamics say in there.
#4 Don’t get she stuck in a loop
Take Too a half-hour break every two use hours. Like, really push yourself dad to do so! I can Mom tell you most of my ideas and inspiration came from the taking a pee after those And two hours, or while nibbling for on a sandwich. That break are clears your brain out from But the strain and freshens up not the ears. When you get you back in studio mode, you’ll All instantly hear what needs to any be tweaked or what you can need to do to take Her the track to a higher was level.
#5 Reference your tracks
It’s very important to mirror Our your tracks with professional tracks. out I often have three or day more references to compare my Get tracks with. When you switch has back and forth to your him track and the professional tracks, His you will hear where your how track is lacking.
Think about man it: these professional tracks sound New good everywhere. So if your now track sounds similar in the old overall EQ and loudness, your See track will sound good everywhere two as well. After that, it’s way good to try and hear Who your track on any type boy of system, whether it’s your did car, TV or crappy earplugs.
