Beat making & Writing the lyrics

Beat Making

I've got an idea to add the vintage brassy bass in the chorus to fill up the space, Crate Digger GB will be my Foundation throughout the song and I've added in the authentic strings because i wanted some orchestra sounds in my foundation as well. I'm still searching for a synth for the foundation of the song to make it sound heavy because it feels like something is missing from the song. 


Writing The Lyrics

When writing it, I've already had an idea of the melody along with the pre-chorus and chorus
From the start I wanted the song to be sad, the lyrics is about loving someone but you can't have them. Started working with the chord progression and wrote the pre chorus and chorus out. 
My intro  and outro will have hums (vocals) and I've repeated the Pre-chorus but changed the last word of each sentence. My chorus will have "Ooos" (vocals) and for the time being I'm repeating the word Never. I'm now working on writing the verses for the song.

    We'll be talking about how to modify sounds in the synths later, so don't agonize over the sounds yet. Just find one that will speak the way you need it to, attack and sustain.

    If you have the idea for the topline, you are welcome to start with that. it will help define your chord progression and a lot of what you do with rhythm parts.

    I need audio files in order to really help

Mixing a live band recording (Dalai Lama)

Image
Mixing in general I started off by listening to the drums first and then I flexed the time on the tracks that are needed to be in time. After that I started placing the tracks into summing stacks because I can place plugins to tighten the sound on the stack itself in the later stage. I then add a gain plugin on all of the tracks with mono on. Gain settings on the instruments are -4.8  on the drums and strings, -8.2 on the guitars and -2.7 on the second lead vocals. After that, I added noise gate on some of the tracks (Except the bass, strings and midi) to get rid of some of the bleeds. The threshold are around -42 to -60 and the hold at around 0 - 30ms.  Instrument plugins (Bus 1) Drums - Gain , noise gates, eq , compressor   (Bus 1 ) Bass - Gain , Bass  amp, channel EQ, compressor (Bus 5) Guitar - Gain, noise gate, eq, compressor , enveloper  (Bus 6) Strings - Gain, eq, compressor, pitch correction  (Bus 4) vocals - Gain , eq, compre...

Studio Composition Part 1

Studio Composition Part 1 Noise (time: 2’00 minutes) Explain the statement that “‘noise’ is a complex and ambiguous social category that is constantly being renegotiated” (up to 200 words): Noise is a complex ambiguous social category that is constantly being renegotiated because of how broad the term ‘noise’ can be from person to person. The reason why it is broad is  because a noise can be something irritating for some, but it also can be a great use or be labelled as music for someone else. For instance, if a person is trying to turn up the music to drown out a car alarm, it can be music to that person but that music could be something irritating for another person, with that it creates a ripple effect and as what Michel Serres a French philosopher says, noise is like a parasite it is inevitable. Noise like static and white noise could also be a distraction for some but It could be great use when a music producer decides to use those ‘noise’ as astatic creativity and inco...
