Use fewer instruments in the verses and more in the chorus (or vice versa) to help the chorus stand out. How do you use ebbs and flows? These are ups and downs, aggressiveness and laidback-ness, quieter parts and louder parts.
Connect the meaning of the song with the emotion of the musicįor example, is the song about an anger-filled breakup? Try making the instruments sound gritty and aggressive with distortion, or perform the part to sound angry. Then try to incorporate those into your production. Don’t copy the reference track, just notice which of its elements resonate with you. Then use it as inspiration as you make production choices. Find a song you love, a song you want your track to sound like. Using a reference track is one of the most helpful ways to kickstart your production. My personal rule is that the song I’m producing has to make me feel something and cause some sort of reaction. Just start trying different things on different instruments and see what moves you. These rough vocals are just so you know where you are in the song and if any other melodies you add will work with or contradict the lead vocal melody. Use markers to label Verses, Choruses, Bridges, etc. Even if you decide to remove the main instrument later (or remove it during certain sections), you’ll want to have it there so you can start building and structuring the song. Record your song front-to-back on your main instrument I just find it easier to follow than a click by itself.
This can supplement the click track and make it easier to stay on time. Create a simple beat to keep yourself on time If you change the BPM after recording, it will distort the instruments. This needs to happen before you record anything. With that being said, here is a 10-step template for starting your song… 1. As Andrew Huang said in the above video, there are so many ways to produce a song. BUT I am by no means saying this template is the only way to produce a song. I make part of my living by producing artists and I’ve been releasing original music for several years, so I have a decent amount of experience. Below are guidelines that can help you, but art is subjective so you can break the rules. Honestly, you can start and produce a song any way you want. Getting Started (Music Production Template)
