Here something Ive been working on back in the end of the summer....It's still a laptop/headphone session so I know some of the balance is out of Wack...Would love any feedback you may have, and if I should mix this down and finish this. Thank you!!https://soundcloud.com/ricosroomofficial/here-in-your-arms-remix-v1-for?si=6e26987e433e4af0991903c7bd5b19b7&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing

I'm always looking for more producing content to learn and try new things. Curious if any of you have any recommendations on people or videos you guys watch on YouTube that you swear by and think would be helpful. Could be super basic/fundamental stuff or more niche production tips as well. Let me know!

What up, hope everyone’s been doing good. Wanted to post an idea I made the other day, not finished at all but kinda want any feedback or ideas. Already got some plans ready but anything helps 🙏🏻 https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/kt072cx4b5i5qbwd4ssxz/fuck-yes-bro-Copy.wav?rlkey=4m73bb0vrfu4bggt0xik17nnh&st=qbcq1nmt&dl=0

HOW ARE WE DOING Y’ALL. This is going to be a very long post, mostly because I’m excited to be here, and I just like to talk. I’m Dylan Ejay. (That’s also my music name. I know super original and creative) I’m originally from Hastings, Minnesota but I’m currently living in SD. And I don’t plan on leaving any time soon. Music has been a pretty big part of my life since I was a little kid. I started in band when I was in 5th grade and chose the Alto Saxophone. I played all the way through high school. I also joined marching band when I was in 8th grade. I loved it and hated it. I loved band but hated the 2.5 hour practices lmao. I’m a bit lazy sometimes. I always loved the late 2000’s and early 2010’s pop music, too. Whenever I would take tests or be in class I constantly had an earbud in (I would genuinely get into arguments with my teachers over it. I was kind of a bad kid and really hope my kids don’t act like I did lmao) I wasn’t really interested in music production throughout my early high school. I do remember the first track I “created”. We had an assignment in my band class to use an online software to write our own score. I really did NOT want to do this assignment but my band class was the only A that I had left, so I had to do something. I ended up learning that if you drag and drop a full MIDI into this software, it will just generate the track. The teacher was very impressed with my cover of this track https://youtu.be/3wHBOvkxtus?si=lERQH2U3nFs-10Zd. I never told her that I lowk cheated just to keep my letter grade 😂 Late in high school however I started to get interested in production and sound design. I had loved EDM for a while so I decided to give it a shot. At first I downloaded GarageBand and played with that around 2017. I stayed on mobile using different apps until I stumbled upon Auxy around mid 2018. Man I loved that app, and I still miss the community that we had. Auxy was easy enough to understand, but complex enough to create awesome music. I used it every day for a summer. 👀 Eventually though I decided it was time to move to more powerful software. I bought this awful little MacBook from Facebook marketplace and downloaded FL in 2019. I, like a lot of producers just starting out, thought it was going to be easy. I could just apply what I knew from band to create tracks, right? Hell no. Fruity Loops has humbled me every single day for the last 7 years.

Got another one I'd love to hear some thoughts on. Just started posting this one on socials and everyone has been loving it so far, and tbh this one easily one of my favorites I've ever made so it'a special one fosho. Goal is to keep posting on socials to generate hype then drop it in a month or so This is pretty final, BUT I def wanna hear what anyone has to say about it.
