i have been using abketon fro about 6 months after getting back into music last year (i stopped playing drums and guitar for almost ten years from 2003)
my question is I'm slowly getting the hang of the various eccentricities of music production i.e basic eying, quantising and the such. i still haven't gotten synths like massive although I'm making an attempt as well as various things like those pitch rising swells that are the bread and butter of edm pre choruses. I've done a few tracks (often times i go in with a plan to do something but i either get carried away with a melody and go off on a complete;y different tangent and give pun or i just get frustrated and give up) but most of them when i listen to them i just hear this like glued together mesh of synth, bass and drum parts i don't hear a complete song, like i can tell it was out together unlike most songs where you can hear chords and melodies and baselines but if you don't pay attention it just seems like a conglomeration of sound. i really want to take my music to the next level I'm really influenced by guys like wave racer, flume (and what so nots) as well as the prodigy or as i like to call them the liam howlett experience and crystal method. as I also play guitar I'm keen to try and fuse my two musical passions alt rock (audioslave, stone sour, alter bridge) and electronica (knife party, deadmau5, the presets) but at the moment I'm plateauing hardcore and i was wondering if there where any tips from people who've gone through this before.
thank you for reading my rambling incoherent babble
