ITT I journal my music making journey
This is your last chance to tell me to stop. Beyond this point, there is no more turning back. There is no telling what brimstone beats I could bang out. For I must soapbox about my latest tracks and get feedback to make better tunes, i NEED to learn music production because i just do okay????! evendoe erm ackshually this ISN'T breakcore but 90's aryan classixs evendoe merely two halves of the same tranny or however the mixes are mastered

Just make shitty drift phonk like a normal person
i actually did try this unironically - though it was like a year ago. but when i was doing it, my ass did NOT know any music theory at all, i think i rawdogged through maybe a minute a most before i had no idea how to continue the song and got annoyed with myself that it sounded bad. i think i still have it saved but i'd have to dig it up

Tbf all those novelty "muh loud angry noises" genres like drift phonk and (((Trap Metal))) don't require much music theory, if you can put together a basic melody and tune an 808 you're already in the 99th percentile o algo
annoyed with myself that it sounded bad.
Drift phonk listeners enjoy bad-sounding music thoughever, otherwise they would listen to a real genre like crunkcore

heres what i had when i found it. apparently i ignored this project for so long that when i ended up moving my sample folder (gotta juice up those stats for soulseek somehow) it ended up breaking all the samples and i had to manually go in and replace them... and im not even sure i replaced them correctly 100% now. this is all i had, i didn't edit it further otherwise

also found this rare gem in the same folder, i think what i was trying to do was make an extra edgy album art in the style of those aggressive shadow demon phonk tranime covers... im still not sure if i won or lost in that

one second in and its already all over the floor, the table, the celling, and the screen
wait, you did WHAT to DNB???!! WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT???????????????????????????? WTFFFFFFF NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!???????????
What daw is that, cakewalk?
its LMMS. completely free and open sourcerald, just that its perpetually stuck in 2012 in features (no native vst3 support? yikes). wish it had more work done on it because there are basic features that have been in development hell for a decade now, if any codetroons on the schloggy are interested go ahead
 
now which one of you redditors is this in the comment section of my upload?

unless... my groovy gem is starting to reach unironic shitfaced sprunkitoddlers and youtube natives? i didn't set the video as "made for kids" for these exact moral reasons, but still. aint no way i want to break big and especially not in the tiktok famous way, because the second i get big im gonna get sued for all the uncleared samples i enjoy using
getting feedback on the sharty/mtv/ front, i've been told "piano and drums seem out of sync(??). melody is very very weird :)" well bros how do i fix this from happening in the future? i didnt notice it sounding terrible when i listened, and thought i was SUPPOSED to make things syncopated because its supposed to make it less boring or whatever.
will try to make new bangers in the future idunno. not sure what i want to do yet other than i want to sample the classic "trans rights are human ri-ACK" video at some point
