im a total beginner so it probably sucks, looking to improve though

#

also accidentally made the chords in the beginning WAY too quiet so that's why it sounds empty

#

creative naming scheme ik

Yo fire boss battle music?

#

Just touch up the piano 😭

umbral pilot Oct 2, 2025, 9:48 AM

#

wdym?

#

wdym by "touch up the piano"?

winged zodiac Oct 2, 2025, 9:48 AM

#

Idk some of the notes dont sound too good for what your trying to go for

#

What exactly did you invision?

#

May I ask before creating this

umbral pilot Oct 2, 2025, 9:49 AM

#

not really anything

#

just went with the flow sorta

winged zodiac Oct 2, 2025, 9:49 AM

#

Huh..

#

I see

umbral pilot Oct 2, 2025, 9:49 AM

#

what do you think im trying to go for though?

winged zodiac Oct 2, 2025, 9:50 AM

#

Well it reminds me of undertale

#

Im ngl

umbral pilot Oct 2, 2025, 9:50 AM

#

well i certainly was inspired by undertale music ngl

winged zodiac Oct 2, 2025, 9:50 AM

#

🤷‍♂️

#

Theres your stem of creativity

#

With music when we first start, are more prone to copy other people's work before finding our bearings and our own style

#

Atleast thats something I see alot with people

umbral pilot Oct 2, 2025, 9:52 AM

#

though i try to not copy too much

winged zodiac Oct 2, 2025, 9:53 AM

#

All you need is practice, creativity from your own self, and reality.

umbral pilot Oct 2, 2025, 9:53 AM

#

what do you think i should've done with the piano?

winged zodiac Oct 2, 2025, 9:53 AM

#

Reality as in. You will never know you're good at producing until you're good at producing

#

😭

#

It could take months

#

Years

#

Anytime

#

Depends on how quickly you learn

umbral pilot Oct 2, 2025, 9:54 AM

#

well i've been experimenting for like a month

#

i haven't really touched any tutorials

#

besides something on EQ

winged zodiac Oct 2, 2025, 9:55 AM

#

umbral pilot what do you think i should've done with the piano?

Eh, it feels like its too many keys playing at once, some of them sound somewhat out of tune to the first key then the second sounds way different to the tune originally

umbral pilot Oct 2, 2025, 9:55 AM

#

so a bit slower?

winged zodiac Oct 2, 2025, 9:56 AM

#

Actually listening back over it

#

It doesnt sound too badish

#

Some of the keys dont sound great though

#

I couldnt tell you based off pure sound though, I'm not a musical genius or nowhere near experienced enough to tell you that

#

Just experiment on it until it sounds good to your ears

umbral pilot Oct 2, 2025, 9:57 AM

#

welp still appreciate any feedback as im probably newer than you at least

winged zodiac Oct 2, 2025, 9:57 AM

#

And kinda envision what genre you're going for

#

What beat do you want to make should be your first question

umbral pilot Oct 2, 2025, 9:57 AM

#

i was thinking like piano+chiptune+guitars

winged zodiac Oct 2, 2025, 9:57 AM

#

And if someone was to rap or sing or something on it how would you want them to sound

#

You quite literally control their flow and everything

#

Youre the mastermind

umbral pilot Oct 2, 2025, 9:58 AM

#

i have actually made a beat

winged zodiac Oct 2, 2025, 9:58 AM

#

Thats the coolest part about producing

umbral pilot Oct 2, 2025, 9:58 AM

#

lemme give it

#

when i made this i was even newer so pardon if it sounds really bad

winged zodiac Oct 2, 2025, 9:59 AM

#

Honestly, sounds like a drum solo loop for Slipknot

#

😭

#

Man reminds me of Joey

winged zodiac Oct 2, 2025, 10:00 AM

#

umbral pilot when i made this i was even newer so pardon if it sounds really bad

I dont judge, nobody really should since we were in your shoes once as well

#

Just practice man, knowledge is your greatest asset.

umbral pilot Oct 2, 2025, 10:00 AM

#

how is it though?

winged zodiac Oct 2, 2025, 10:00 AM

#

Muscle Memory and Flow State is everything

umbral pilot Oct 2, 2025, 10:01 AM

#

i've found that the stuff i make sounds crappy at first, but when you play it again it sounds better for some reason

winged zodiac Oct 2, 2025, 10:01 AM

#

umbral pilot how is it though?

Once you learn something, you understand it, and once you understand it you can use it to do whatever that thing is specific for

umbral pilot Oct 2, 2025, 10:01 AM

#

winged zodiac Once you learn something, you understand it, and once you understand it you can ...

i meant like the beat, how is it?

winged zodiac Oct 2, 2025, 10:01 AM

#

Ah

#

Hm

#

Its not really a beat

umbral pilot Oct 2, 2025, 10:02 AM

#

what is a beat then?

winged zodiac Oct 2, 2025, 10:03 AM

#

In short

#

A instrumental

#

This is one piece to a puzzle

umbral pilot Oct 2, 2025, 10:03 AM

#

instrumental just means no vocals doesn't it?

winged zodiac Oct 2, 2025, 10:03 AM

#

A beat is a completed piece of music

winged zodiac Oct 2, 2025, 10:04 AM

#

umbral pilot instrumental just means no vocals doesn't it?

You think this drum riff is a instrumental?

umbral pilot Oct 2, 2025, 10:05 AM

#

well i havent exactly studied much music theory so idk

#

i just assumed that instrumental=no vocals

winged zodiac Oct 2, 2025, 10:05 AM

#

An instrumental follows a similar structure to a vocal song, featuring elements like intro, verse, and chorus, but with the main vocal melody played by an instrument instead.

umbral pilot Oct 2, 2025, 10:05 AM

#

oh

winged zodiac Oct 2, 2025, 10:06 AM

#

If youre passionate enough about music then you shouldn't have a problem experimenting a bit

umbral pilot Oct 2, 2025, 10:06 AM

#

alright so for whatever it is, how is it?

winged zodiac Oct 2, 2025, 10:06 AM

#

Just have fun with it dont let music turn into feeling like a chore or a job

#

Thats when you'll lose your mind trying to figure out music

umbral pilot Oct 2, 2025, 10:07 AM

#

winged zodiac If youre passionate enough about music then you shouldn't have a problem experim...

basically what i've been doing for the past month

winged zodiac Oct 2, 2025, 10:08 AM

#

umbral pilot basically what i've been doing for the past month

Looking into music theory and see what equipment should be used, how to use it and understanding tempos, rhythms, and your notes like D Major and shit

#

You'll have a good grip on music and you'll be able to pick out sounds alot more easily that match

#

And plus. If they dont you can always slice and chop it up to make it sound good to your ears or even slow it down

umbral pilot Oct 2, 2025, 10:09 AM

#

umbral pilot

cool but like, could you tell me how good or bad this sounds?

winged zodiac Oct 2, 2025, 10:09 AM

#

Its

#

Not the greatest

#

Brutally honest

umbral pilot Oct 2, 2025, 10:09 AM

#

yeah

#

as expected

winged zodiac Oct 2, 2025, 10:10 AM

#

Ofc

#

Anyways, I wish you luck, its a fun long journey

umbral pilot Oct 2, 2025, 10:10 AM

#

yeah thanks

winged zodiac Oct 2, 2025, 10:10 AM

#

Im still learning shit everyday

#

Its fun man just crack at it when you feel inspired to

umbral pilot Oct 2, 2025, 10:11 AM

#

winged zodiac Oct 2, 2025, 10:11 AM
