New style stuff
Hey all. Been pretty distant the last few weeks. (Got a new vid tomorrow😉) - but I’d love some feedback on this one. I’ve been making alot of alt rock recording guitars and live drums and it’s been the most fun I’ve had making music in years. Any and all feedback is appreciated. I’m not going for an “EDM” sound, more alt/pop rock as of recent.

Yo this is so dope bro, I absolutely love making stuff like this! Depending on how hard you're trying to lean into the Alt/Pop-rock sound, I think the sidechain is either a bit heavy or ducking too many elements. It sounds like you may be ducking almost everything in your mix, so I'd try to leave some elements out of the sidechain bus. The snare sounds pretty dialed tho I think it's just the kick. Also this may just be a taste thing, but I feel like the verses + pre could do with a bit less ambience to really have the effect of the big atmospheric drop. I know if Camino has a big open chorus/drop, they like to have the pre-choruses be a bit more plucky and rhythmic. I'm being pretty granular here though cuz this track is awesome.

EMBER Original
Need some help with this one. Got a really good idea down but struggling to make the second half of this song more creative. Any ideas would be awesome! Thanks guys! https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/c08l0de0l6r0ibgfzl93o/EMBER-Hopeful.wav?rlkey=haip0hb99u52q3frlye9yi7ky&st=h3bx7cb0&dl=0

This track is SO sick dude! The vocal is so strong and the production does a great job at matching the energy. I think some extra ear candy/synth work that plays with the chorus vocal would really help elevate it, since it's just the guitars and vocal that are upfront in the mix rn. I would also suggest messing around with the bass that comes in at the chorus as well (0:52). I think it fills the space nicely, but it may suit your arrangement better if you take it out for the first half to give the listener some time to breathe and soak in the vocal, then bringing it in when the build drums start. Just an idea, lmk if you end up trying it!!

Original Demo - Stay The Night
Made this one a while ago. I like it, and I feel like I've got a good amount of it somewhat locked in. First half of the drop still feels a bit off/empty to me, would love to get some thoughts on that. Also currently have a vocal chop as the main hook, not sure if I should keep or try to write a full topline over it!

Which DAW do I buy?
Okay, I’ve decided it’s time that I bite the bullet, dive in to production, and buy a DAW. I feel like this is the perfect place to get some direct advice from experienced producers. I’ve narrowed it down to Logic vs. Ableton, below are my initial thoughts on both: Logic - I like the UI more- I can’t deny that I’m an Apple fanboy at heart, and one of the reasons is the UI on their products is unmatched. I started making mashups on GarageBand and have familiarity with that UI, an Logic (I think) has a very similar layout. - Seems easier to learn than Ableton, which I hear has a very steep learning curve - Cheaper than Ableton(beside the basic $99 plan) - Seems to be more a well rounded DAW Ableton - I hear it’s best for live performances(live is literally in the name) - I hear it’s “better” for electronic music(not really sure why) - “rent to own” option is cool(monthy payments, but will have full ownership eventually once full price of software is paid for) I’m kind of leaning towards Ableton bc I’m more interested in EDM/electronic production right now, and I don’t want the challenge of learning a new software to be a reason why I don’t get it. Or, should it be? Like is Ableton being "hard to learn" enough of a reason to get Logic before I get Ableton? I’m pretty confident that I’ll be able to get the hang of it eventually. Am I missing any factors that should influence my decision? Am I overthinking this? Probably lol. I've seen a lot of people say it doesn't really matter that much, but wanted to get y'all's opinion. Anyways if anyone has any helpful advice let me know! Thanks guys! :)

There are incredible producers that use both, and there isn't a wrong option. I'd lean towards Ableton, and I may be biased, but I believe it's more well-rounded for electronic music production. The ease of audio manipulation inside of Ableton is undefeated, but would take a bit to get familiar with if you're used to Apple UI. I will say, I know multiple people who've switched to Ableton from FL Studio & Logic, and it took a hot minute for them. The process of learning it might only be slightly easier if you learn Logic first. Plus, to buy 2 DAWS it'll be more costly haha.
