Can anyone help me make some moves in the right direction towards finishing tracks? I'm getting a little older and the agressive high bpm rave music I used to listen to no longer fits my vibe. Starting to be interested by more chill melodic techno styles these days like Jon Hopkins, Four Tet. I'd like to be able to make more stuff like this but not sure where to start. Is remaking stuff the best way to get better or if you know any tips to get started? My brain likes good habits and routines and things rather than just getting lost and confused diving down rabbit holes if that makes sense. If anyone's got some great lessons from the other sides of those rabbit holes would be awesome to hear too thanks.

Edit. I'm coming back to producing after a long break and would like to get some wins in to build my confidence back up. Approx 4 years total experience.

No idea how to even classify this into a genre. This is more of a hit and hope than anything. Really recommend this artist, amazing productions, particularly this album.

Hello there! Lately I've been trying experimenting with future garage in the style of Andy Leech / Michael FK / Victoriya etc.

I have some sorts of sounds figured out, but I can't get the vibe and the deep feeling they have on their songs

So I wanted to ask you guys. What things does sound this type of future garage how it sounds? Do you have any tutorial you know that is good? (I have searched, but I didnt find something like I want)

Any advice is welcome :)

Thanks in advance

Hey there!

I've recently been thinking of creating an app that simplifies the mixing project by allowing the user to drop a reference and their stems get mixed towards that target (this wouldn't be some artificial intelligence slop, trained or generational, as a musician myself, I hate that stuff!).

Quick background check, I've been in the music production educational space for 5 years and I've noticed a lot of producers always struggle with one main thing, bridging the gap in sound between their tracks and the tracks they love.. That's almost always the "last 10%".

I know there's apps that claim to do that already, but they've got very complicated interfaces, you can still mess too much with the settings and they really don't get a, industry standard results.

I can develop software and I know the usual issues people meet in a mix and what are the usual gaps with reference tracks, so I want to give this a go.

I thought I'd post here first of all to get your thoughts on it, and also in case someone wants to connect, wanting to be part of the developing process as I'll need direct feedback and I'll probably need stems from real producers to test it and improve it (meaning changing its mixing rules, in all different scenarios etc.).

I don't have the big software houses budget so trying to build this from the bottom!
