hello everybody
i want to make some hard hitting electro/hiphop/house/techno

in a perfect world my music would encompass the awesome daftpunk concerts,the power of Justice, elegance of Pretty Lights, and emotion of STS9.

Well you're welcome

My best advice is to browse this forum with your key words : "gate", "compression", "justice", "daft punk", "chord progression", "kick mix".. and so on I've learned a lot with that.

and If I can give you a good advice: what you're setting up is already dead. justice-daftpunkies are everywhere now, with other good artists (...by robots, pro7, dilemn, deadmau5...) but the genre is beginning to implode. everyone (in france ) is playing such overdriven chords with the same chord progressions, same electric-guitar-like lead melodies, same kickin-your-face-compression-woo-CHAA-woo-CHAA, and cutting chopping mangling slapbass samples and funky rnb female and stabs chops...

this sound is already overdone.

make yours with the tips you'll learn trying to reach this sound !

Why do people always say "be yourself" and refuse to help when someone asks how to get another artist's sounds?

It's pretty retarded as all musicians learn from what has gone before and how that was done, then hopefully progress and grow and add in new/different ideas.

You guys are cracking me up, honestly I also learn from comments such as iwannasoundlikeeveryoneelse.com, want any gloves??,
everybody just chill and remember that music is life! no matter how the hell we make it.

I thank for all your tips mo matter how wrong they are.

by the way what happend to the above page, is it fake ??? the link is broken.

Thank you!

I suppose i should make another part of this post clear. In the end, my real objective is to be a dance music producer. i wouldnt care if it was for britany Spears. I love the atmosphear at dance music concerts and i want to be able to make that for other people.

djd, where are you? I think it's interesting you mentioned pretty lights, they live near me.

I'm in Boulder.

in retrospect this thread was much to broad and it doesnt sound like im going to get what i wanted from it.

Yoou need to ask more precise questions, music styles, particular chord progression, compression tips, mixing tips... it's a whole musical universe that you're asking for! there are really useful threads on this board that may separately explore these specific questions.

My real objective here is to find some other people who like that same kind of music i mentiond.

I do

But still thinking this genre is now overdone, perhaps because I didn't manage to do as good as them? But yes, trying to do AS your favorites artists make you better, pushes you to learn, practice, learn, practice...

that's good.

In the end, my real objective is to be a dance music producer.

I'd like it too But I wouldn't say that it is a goal for me, too lazy I guess !

You seem like someone new to electro/techno music? What music do you presently compose?

cheers and good luck, we're in the same boat

justice rocks. calvin harris, digitalism, deadmau5, boys noize, soulwax, teenage bad girl, goose, and sebastian are equally awesome.

Here's REAL challenge: Try to sound like Just-Daft-Oizo-Tice-Punk without any of the headroom killing, ear spitting, chord drilling techniques mentioned above, or in any other related topic.

i enjoy electro house but the whole genre can be summed up in just a few very good groups/DJs. Its more of being able to capture that sound if i want to.

as for the groups i mentioned... Pretty Lights
I am from Knoxville TN and i heard of him through the grape vine....I think he has some next level shit. hes a pretty big influence on one of my 2 songs lol.

on predicting electronic music----
The way that crookers remixed that new Kid Kudi song is an example of techno merging into mainstream music.P.S. that remix is the fuking BEES NEES...I hope electronic music keeps moving in that direction

[Superchibisan]

workin on it man

[jcwillia]

why can't we all just sound different and leave it at that? Why would you want to sound like someone else? I am inspired by The Crystal Method and The Chemical Brothers but my music doesn't sound anything like theirs...

[giggedy]

Knoxville, you know Ashley Lochen?

[DJD]

.......lol ya she has a pretty good taste in music. PM how do you know her
