Hey everyone, I have a question as stated in the title; How do you get yourself out of your element?
My problem is I keep making the same moody tracks. I love heavy, in your face stuff, but I want to produce more than that. I love the new mainstream house sound and the kind of sound Jauz has developed but everything I create seems to have an ever darker tone to it that I just can't shake!
So, of course, just make that, right?! Sounds so easy but as soon as I start trying to using those sounds they sound wimpy and I am never satisfied with my instruments to even start a track. I quickly give up and go back to making broody music.
My most upbeat peppy "tracK" is from years ago when I was just getting in production and I made Ableton take all the samples in C from my Vengeance packs and randomly spit out junk. I rearranged a few pieces to create some consistency and rhythm, add a simply melody - voila. This was completely random though (I named it "Discussions with a Computer", to give the machine some credit)! The machine did the work for me. If I was to keep using that technique things would get boring really fast.
Anyways, I'm rambling lots... I need to get my 5 posts in before I can ask for feedback and provide links so I'm trying to make them count
