Great Morning to you! What a wonderful weekend,back to work with some new sounds this morning. I know I downloaded this once before, but I just installed it. I’ve been scrolling through a few of the sounds and they aren’t bad for a free module.
College has begun! Woo To The Hoo ….I’ve been up early working. 1st assignments are complete. I am now editing my second artist interview video. I hope to post it this week or maybe later today. Taking a little break to check out what’s new over at:
Point Blank Online
You know I found a gem! The article goes into great detail on how to filter and layer kicks using Logic. I don’t have my Mac yet, so I’ll be trying it either in Reaper or Studio One. This can be done in any DAW, including Fl Studio. All you need is the proper eq plug in. PointBlankOnline How To Layer Kicks In Logic…
Shout out to Loopmasters.com for this this wonderful tutorial on how to use Kirnu inside Reaper. As titled the tutorial walks you from inserting into Reaper, routing suggestions, and playing Kirnu with a midi controller.
Let me know how you like the arpeggiator..hit me up in the comment section…
Happy Beat Making To All!~

Great morning to you! I have had a very productive week so far. Kind of getting my schedule and routine down as I prepare to start my college courses. I have it just about worked out, and you will see waaaay more post …3 so far this week woo hoo!
I should do ten cartwheels right now! This next tip is what I have been searching for. I’ve gotten a lot of music theory down, but I still struggled with understanding how to fit chords to my melody. I’ve even posted about this before: http://www.mstrismusic.com/2011/05/how-toadd-piano-chords-to-any-melody/. Still hadn’t quite grasped the concept the way I’d like. This musical glitch had me stuck doing chords first almost 90% of the time. I must add, there is absolutely nothing wrong with working chords first. Since I am still learning chords, and only know a few, I was beginning to feel a bit limited.
I guess some days I have to be in the right mind state,today I found a site that seems written for producers like me: www.how-to-write-music.com
Chip out a block of time for visiting this one. There are tons of tips to help you take your music to the next level..
Here is an excerpt from:Putting Chords to an Existing Melody, the article I am jumping for joy over
What you should get from this section:
After completing this section, you should be able to take an existing melody and put chords, and a bass line to it to create a strong structure.
There are several things you can do to help you put a chord progression to an existing melody that will make your life a lot easier. Here are a few of them:
The first thing you should try to do is work out what key it’s in. This will make it a lot easier, as if you know what key you’re playing in, you can pick chords from that key (see section on theory). How do you do this?
Well, first of all, play the melody. Are there lots of sharps or flats in there? If so, look at the key signatures in the theory section and see what ones match the notes you’re playing. Do they match any particular key? If there are F#’s in the melody, but C naturals, then it might be in G. If there are lots of Bb’s and Eb’s but natural A’s it may be in Bb major.
If that hasn’t helped, then see what note the melody starts and finishes on. Quite often a melody will start and/or end on the note of the dominant chord in the key. So if it’s in A for example, it will quite often start on that note and/or end on that note…………
Sample heads where are ya?.. You will love this one!
Can you believe they actually named this Get Lost Singer?..lol
I just tried it on two tracks and it works pretty well. With some eq and adjusting I think this is all I’ll need when filtering samples down to the bassline woo hoo..this is crazy and free!!!
Hey hey all. I’m rolling with The Producers Union content starting today. I will be showcasing, featuring, and sharing info from fellow members.
Kicking off the great run is DjKevWest. Kev and I used to be on RapMusic.com around the same time.. ..(OH MY almost 10 yrs I’ve known him)..He’s shared many tips with me on the forums. He is sick with the soul samples and has so much knowledge about production. He is also another producer that helped me get my game proper on the technical side!
