Why is it so fucking hard to produce music? Like I got the ideas

Just record your music onto a cassette. No one uses computers to make music anymore.

just put a 4/4 kick over m9 chords

that sounds very very boring

that's electronic music for you

layer more, paulstretch animal samples, modulate vocaloids

How is this helping with the atmosphere m8

>>73133245
Well I enjoy all kinds of music but my own sound shit
>>73133256
Layering is actually something I was never going for because I've always tried to make the sound phat in the synth. Maybe that's where I should start, thank you man

Idk was watching videos on sound design this popped up so I thought it would suffice as pic

Equalize every sample
Add effects
Pan slightly some tracks to the left or to the right.

It's because you're listening to it as it's being made so you know all of the parts and imperfections. Also just add reverb to cover up the boring parts

>add reverb
fuck off

Too much reverb on your drums probably. At least that's what I just figured out with regards to my own productions. Also, properly EQ the wet signal on your Reverb channel (don't just slap Reverb on everything and call it a day). As for programming drum patterns, don't make it too complex. Try to layer your snares with other random interesting sounds like pops/clicks, or various percussion sounds.

The trick is to never overdo things, this applies to pretty much every area in music production, whether you'r EQ'ing a track, applying reverb (better too little than too much, generally speaking, but depends on the genre as well), layering sounds (don't layer too much bass sounds / synth sounds, this can cause phasing and the signals will cancel each other out, resulting in a dull sounding "floaty" mix).

Protip: If you find you spend too much time EQ'ing a sample to fit in your mix, get rid of it and find a better sample, period. This helped me immensely.

In other words: keep it simple

Oh I wish it was "too much" of something but it's totally "not enough" of something haha

This snare-layering thing is a really good idea tho
