composers/producers?

My experience lies with recording live instrumentation and occasional use of samples, synths, and sound effects, so I'm afraid I don't know much about programs that are good for mashup/remix type stuff. I use the free versions of Audacity and FLStudio, which have more than enough features and tools between them to suit my needs within my budget.

Ever since my 2013 album for the RPM Challenge, I've been trying to work under the "less is more" mentality that Adrift and Sylph mentioned. Listening back now, the best tracks on that one were the ones that employed fewer layers and made better use of 'space,' while the others sound cluttered and confused. I've also tried to shake up forms and time signatures a bit from what I'm used to.

I love it when you talk music dear .

Actually Auggie, I think a lot of the music you showed me before was pretty spacious, layered maybe, but it didn't sound heavy with sound(atleast not all of them).

You always remind me of OneRepublic/Coldplay actually, just without words lol.

Maybe even Greenday slightly

Wow! What inspired you to do the rpm challenge? I've never heard of it. Can anyone just join?
Where can I hear your album for the rpm challenge miles?

[EMH]

What programs do you use? I personally use Logic Pro (and sometimes Pro Tools, but less often).

[Adrift]

Fl studio. Audacity. SoundCloud sampler on my phone. A big sample library.


Sylph.
I think I've actually used the Call and Response method in my upcoming tune. Where the piano plays a melody and then the synth copies it, right? Check it here...

Mainly Sibelius, Logic Pro, Pro Tools.

Haha deep/light hippy. Like it.
Timpani is a gorgeous sound. Dramatic, yet, in a minimalist context, I imagine is subtley powerful. Contrasts!!

This song is divine.

aw, love her. They always remix her tunes for Trance and DnB
..well and other EDM. Always one of my fave vocalists

Justbry - Kirsty is amazing. She's working hard on her own music at the moment and her own label Wellhead Records. She's a lovely person too. Very spiritual.

Sylph - I think I've used the call and response method on my upcoming tune. Where one instrument plays a melody and then another instrument copies it right?

The way I learned it in Ashay, it would be like this;

"Hi how are you?" - Main Tune ( Call )

"Good, and how are you?" - Secondary Tune ( Response)

like in class we would say " Ago " which translates roughly to "Do you understand/Do I have your attention?" and the response would be " Ame " which is "Yes I understand/You have my attention"

So in music it would be like playing the main tune;

"Hi How are you"

with " Good and how are you?"

Following it in a sort of conversational tone, such as the example I gave earlier with the Maasai Kids.

Hence, Call and Response.

The secondary tune/melody "answers" not necessarily with the exact same melody or tune, to the first or main one.

Ah I get it I get it. This is good stuff. I'll be using this. Beautiful idea. THanks!
