Workflow...

[DannyBlack]

My work flow- some what disorganised...

1) Mess around with sounds samples in .wav form. (kicks, hats, percs, shakers, toms and snares)- running them through fx and layering- what works and what doesn't etc...

2) Cutting up vocals from movies, tv shows, songs etc...

3) Farting around with bass lines- appregios, stabs etc...

4) Melody. What do I want this peice of music to say, am I happy, sad and what would I like to convey.

5) Discover a shiney pebble on my bedroom floor that is unlike anything I have ever seen and forget music for 30 minutes (at least) while I inspect it.

6) shiney pebble inspected and put in my draw with the rest I set about making my loops- 4x4's, breaks, elements and bass.

7) Export loops as .wav's and construct a 2 minute mock up of what the track will sound like.

8) Decide that I'm crap at music, hate myself for 40-45 minutes and sulk, have a good whinge to either RDR or Baz Techniologies, get over it and set about constructing it.

9) Save it for mastering at a later date when I have learnt how to do it properly.

Rinse and repeat.

I usually start from the bottom,working my way up....get the majority of the trk playing over 32-64 bars....then start arranging it.

I tend to mix as im going along then tweak bits at the end as well as any edit work.

Exactly how I work! Wise minds and all that. ;)

create a basic loop.....


and listen to that loop non stop for 3 days straight until I get bored of it... :)

as above but tweaking the cutoff / res

repetition is good for you
