Music making
Sep. 29th, 2024 02:47 pmThis is an older thing I worked on but I thought i might use it as a first post anyways. A month or so ago, maybe two, I started smacking my head against the wall at trying to make music again. I don't really have any professional training, and I can only vaguely say I know how to work my DAW, but with every try at music I gain a lot more confidence.
I've always been a really big fan of older electronic music, DnB, Jungle, Ambient, etc. etc. etc. -- pulling largely on that DnB influence I decided to figure out sampling. After a whole day of trolling through sample CD's from the 90's and figuring out FL Studio 11's actually very nice sampler, I managed to scratch a little something together!
Click me to download the WAV file of the song I'm talking about here!
There's something incredibly satisfying about ripping apart different samples and reshaping them to make what you want. I had to cut and chop (iirc) the bass loop a little bit, and the drums (obviously) are heavily reshaped. This track isn't done, it still needs a bit of work before it feels right enough to get like, an actual proper release, and I still wanna edit some kind of video for it (something nostalgic, with a lot of old Source game footage from the games I like to play) -- but beyond that I feel pretty happy with it.
Cheers~!
