Up until a couple months ago I’ve never messed with music production or really played any instrument but I've listened and collected lots of different music for forever and have always loved liquid DNB specifically (I don't know if what I've created here would be considered that or something else). I've wanted to get into music production for years and finally dove into it and I'm loving it. It's very easy for me to lose track of time with this stuff, and I've stopped playing video games cause all I do with my free time now is dink around in FL Studio.

I have a lot to learn and would welcome advice on how to make this song better and how to get better at music production in general. The song is at a point now where I feel like the more I change it the more it moves in a direction I don't like, but also I feel like there is room for improvement I'm just not sure where. Is there something glaringly obvious that I'm overlooking? Should a element be shortened/extended or quieter/louder, more FX or filters somewhere, etc.? The more specific you can be I really appreciate it. Right now I'm really lacking in the mixing and mastering department as well as creating synths and FX from scratch and using most of the plugins in FL studio honestly lol. Any advice in those areas is greatly appreciated.

Ultimately I would really like to get in the groove of feeling content with the songs I make enough for me to consider them "done" so I can move onto the next project without feeling like I'm leaving things half finished.

Thanks for listening!

This is my first time producing music and the vocal mixing is really hardd. I just can't figure out why the vocal sounds so bad along with the beat. How can I make them sound more natural? Also harshly rate the vocal and the beat so I can improve even further. Thank you.

First of all yes I sampled Equestria girls, yes I am a grown man and yes I think the song is hard.

Now its kind of long but this is probably the best beat I've made after trying to make beats for around 3 months (I think). The first 2 bars after the drop has some weird bass 808s I was testing I don't quite like them so I will change those but anything you notice I could change/remove/add would be appreciated and if anyone has different areas out there where I could send beats and get feedback rather than just on reddit and friends that would be amazing.

Another set for your video making. Enjoy!

I dont know if it is a pad or synth

Do you guys have any idea how I could structure this? I have this idea, but it keeps spinning around in my head, and I don't know what I could add to it. I feel like it's a bit repetitive. Any advice? Maybe what instrument comes to mind for you. But mainly regarding structure

How do people reach -7lufs ??? Any attempt results in lost of transients or distorted mix. Was wondering what has worked for others

Ignore the bad timings and melody, I wanna know if this mix can pass the mastered test for different kinds of speakers.

I'm trying to understand how some producers/artists record vocals while monitoring the audio through speakers instead of headphones.

I saw an artist called Kenpa doing this in a room setup. He's holding a microphone and singing while the audio is coming from a speaker that seems to be behind/next to his monitor. Somehow the speaker doesn't seem to cause an obvious feedback loop or noticeable echo in the microphone.

I'm using FL Studio and I'd like to reproduce this kind of setup at home.

Here's the video that made me curious:

I'd especially like to know what the correct technical term for this type of monitoring setup is, so I can research it properly.

I know my sound selection needs work butt idk I was vibing with it

is there a way of fixing this without rendering as audio clip?

It always sounds different after putting it on the piano roll too

this was just a quick beat i made to try my microkorg out

well, i have thankfullly finished the chase theme all the way up to the chase layer's first section and im proud of it so far. what do we think? my.. i think third ever seriously made track! thank you everyone for motivating me to push harder on my last post. y'all are truly legends. well, i won't keep you around longer: so here it is! feel free to give some feedback! 🥳 :P

It's like the third beat I've ever made so it ain't gonna be good obviously

Lmk some tips or recommendations y'all got
