Im just wondering, ... would i just adjust the pitch of the whole track or adjust the pitches of the individual tracks?

^^^Agreed. But since basics were covered, I thought I'd offer another approach. I can't remeber when the last time I wondered how to play anything was. But when you do...I guess you do need the fundamentals.yeah but that is based on 17+ years of experience, is it not?? And I'm guessing based on my own experiences (35 years+) that it was not always as plain sailing as you make out - probably took several years and even then you were relying on your own formulae which if looked at closely would be no different to what has already been offered here...
again a 2c only that....
Music captures the creators emotion and personality.
Truth ^^^I don't wanna argue, good responses, don't want to take anything from any of them...but my 2 cents...
Music captures the creators emotion and personality. Dark has never been hard for me to do because...I'm kinda dark at times, lol. Since having kids and settling down, I've learned to broaden my sound alot. But I've never made anything really "happy" that I personally liked(others have liked them, so, cool, whatever). I think if you wanna get into music with a darker tone, you're gonna wanna put some bottled up anger and emotion from your heart to get the sound.
There's no formula for it, just go back to a time in your life when you weren't in the best of moods and let it flow from your brain thru your heart to your fingers and play that shyt.
Prolly sounds like bs advice, but worth a try. Always worked for me. It's like I think of having fun at a cookout or club when I make a party joint. Think of love if I need to make a nice ballad. You gotta get into the mood like an actor before playing a part. Or a painter before hitting the canvas. Capture the emotion, man!
This is also the reason I sample. Certain songs can take me to a place and give me the right emotion, then I gotta capture it in a song. I can play everything from scratch, but if that song gives me a feel, they already got the formula. I need some of what they got! lol.
Again, I know it sounds stupid, just works for me.
