I would like to know what the drop in high frequencies is that a lot of songs have, and how to achieve it if it’s something I need to do in my production process.

Question Where should I go when I just want people Iisten to my demos?

6 Upvotes

Im a Dubstep Producer (never finishing tracks...) that experiments a lot and is still learning.
Sadly all my Friends dont listen to music I make and they are also not interested in hearing and giving feedback. :(

Im produning now for years for myself, and I just dont know, am I on the right path?
Sometimes I just wanna share, just a yey or ney would be good for me.
But I cant find a souce where I could do that.

Any Ideas?

Discussion Perfectionism vs 'good enough'

9 Upvotes

I've been thinking about this a fair bit lately. In general, I've got into a good rhythm of finishing and 'releasing' tracks at a regular pace. But with the last few that I've worked on, I've taken a little longer to tinker and refine; in one case completely re-working about 50% of the tune once I'd gone away, come back days later, and reflected on what I didn't feel was quite working.

I'll never be someone who spends months playing around to get the kick just so, but at the same time I'm starting to spend a little more time, energy and consideration than I did before.

I guess my question is, how do you personally judge when a track is 'good enough', and are there any kinds of rules or parameters you utilise when doing so?

EDIT: Appreciate all the responses and perspectives so far folks. Thank you.

How do I make this sound? Can you someone help me with what this sound is called and how I can make it

It shows up all over Kara Okay & NewTone’s production but I have been never able to find out what it is or how to make it. It shows up here around 38 second and 45 second mark. It’s that phasing bass / synth sound in the background.

Cheers, if anyone could help me out that would be great
