Dont over do it with percussion

Try to resist the urge and the need that you feel you have to use every drum sample in your library in your track. The fact is that less is more. So dont get too busy with your drums and your lead syth melody simultaneously as it wont will not sound right at all.

So heres a few tips to consider. If your making trance,keep percussion simple and have the main melody synth busy

If percussion is not simple and you want to keep the production going on this track then make melodic lines less busy by not putting melody lines on each hit,adding more of an attack and release ,etc you basically want to slow down the melodic lines ,so there both not fighting to be heard they each need space.

On that same subject of keeping certain sections of your busy or not If your making a soulful deeep house you obviously want a laidback vibe going so having a real busy horn section or string section with funky drum beat would be overkill.
Instead youd want a laid back drum groove with some soulful ambient and spacious pads with a few stabs and subtle counterpoint melodies underneath your main riff.

Thats all i have for you today if anything youd like me to make a tutorial on leave me a message in comments section.

Using Phrygian mode to make Techno beats

You should be using Phrygian mode to make your techno beats. Hey people i have been seeing lots of newbies online make track after track in the same key. Same scale, same chord progression. You have to get out off that same old rut of doing things the same things all the time. After a while your music will be boring and pretty much lifeless. So i made this video of me making a techno beat in phrygian mode to show you what you can do when you think outside the box. When you get away from the normal natural minor and natural major scales and reach outside the box you just may actually learn something, and most of all breathe new life into your music. So watch the video below. Just keep in mind this riff i made for your viewing pleasure is only a 2 bar loop. i will be making a full on 32 bar loop to show you just what you can accomplish when you think outside the box. I know i sound like a robot, but when you think outside the box with your music you're music really comes alive

How to speed up your hip hop beatmaking workflow when you have no time to make beats

We all been there, we have a idea in our head of some beat we want to cook up, then the unthinkable happens. We run into our ex at the bank, the supermarket or Wendys drive thru then the two of you start talking for hours. Or better yet, your kid gets sick at school the nurse sends him home, your dog has an appointment at the vet. You need to help your son study for a math test...As soon as you walk into the studio your girl calls you up, and silly you answers the phone. You then are sitting in your own studio, instead of making beats you are talking on the phone. Before you know it you start falling asleep and no beats are made! You get the picture. This happens to all of us at one point or another in time. Some of us it happens on a more consistent basis. So that is why i made this video for you to help give you some insight as to what to do, when life sometimes gets in your way, and you are unable to make any beats. So follow my suggestions in the video and i hope you
