After many years of producing there is one thing I really struggle. I can play some really nice melodies and layering things around, but nothing seem to work.
You know when you listen to someone else's beats, you have that instant gut feeling which I called it the "WOW factor".
When I make my beats I don't have this. And even if I did to a small extinct, this instant gut feeling goes away really quick. I get bored really quick and I'm having trouble to make my beat to pop.
One tip I learned along the way was the swing and the timing they have to be right. You cannot play everything at the same time. For example, in Fruity Loops 12 there is a new function under 'time' you can increase the swing feature to make certain instruments to play at different timing. After I figured this out my beat started to show some emotions. Emotions is very hard to achieve. Just because you can play 1 or 2 part doesn't mean it's going to work. I would say this is one of the biggest factor in my production that I struggle.
What are some of the things you struggle?
