How I make My Music/ Step By Step

Here are the 4 steps on how I make my music to give you a little insight on how I do it

Just a reminder that this is in a nutshell form, there are lots more involved, but it'll give an understanding how I go about it ...

Step 1

 It's where it all begins after I write the lyrics, I want in the song the lyrics are at a rough stage at this point meaning I'll change lines or a entire verse. Love this step... but not easy by any means. Samples are short 2 second to 1 minute recording of guitar chords or leads could a intro also, same goes for the drums and bass or any other instrument that will in be in the song from there u can loop them meaning basically is replaying it over and over as many times as you want . Risers are where the instrument starts off at a very low volume or pitch and builds up to a peak volume. There are countless other things that go into it but in a nutshell that's what is happening in this step

Step 2

is a process where you start to blend and loop all your samples ,risers , and so forth. this is when the music and my heart start to come together . Some projects/songs in this step could take up to a week or more to do. That's right for instance "War Machine" took over 60 hrs to complete. "Can You Hear Me Now" took over 40 hrs . Also in this step My AI voice is electronically told how to sing every part of the lyrical part of the song like tones, pitches, and put into a One of eight Octaves , high's and low's etc...This step might in some cases could be the longest all depending on how many instruments ,chords,roll overs, etc. are in the song ...This step taught me patience... Imagine that Dino with patience ....lol

Step 3

You would think your done after the last step..."WRONG".. miles to go yet but it starts sounding like a song now. So this where all the , pitches, melodies, and harmony come together and are mixed and blended into what I'm trying to accomplish it's there just really gotta hear everything that's up front and what's going on in the back . because every little thing matters to me . And the people that introduced me to this think my passion for my music will someday make it beyond my friends ... I'm not thinking that far ahead yet .. A friendly note... I am so blessed to have met these two guys that are helping me in my endeavors to get this far ... They prefer not to be mentioned at this time

Step 4

It truly is the hardest by far . Now I'm getting into sometimes blending 5 or 6 instruments all playing at same time . This where The mixing board comes in to get everything from tempo,pitch,distortion,clarity, high and low octaves of each instrument . This is where real good head phones come in handy. then I have to intergrade the vocals , this where I'm struggling right now but getting better every day. It's a good thing I have people around me that have been doing this for awhile now and thanks to them my songs are alot better than I could imagine . Still a long way to go and it is very tedious but like I said I fucken love this shit , So after listening to the track , which could be 50 times, could 200 times and your head feels like it's gonna explode ..BANG...There it is 3 or 4 mins of your heart and soul poured out in a song . It is the most satisfying thing I have ever done and the hardest . And yes my heart and soul goes into every note ,every word happy or sad because it's for you ALL OF YOU !

 

MASTERING
I'm not gonna go into this too much cause again it's time consuming and tedious . Its basically finding the best clarity, or bass, or percussion to make the song stand out ... from there it goes on here then you download it and now a part of me is with you ..
