Difficulties on progression.

[JimpaDirt]

The way I go about is that I make a 4 bar loop of drums, bass and some melody or lead sound perhaps (This does most of the time turn out as the "drop"). Just to get the basic ideas off my head and into the project. Then I use the sounds I had in my little loop to make an intro or another part of the track. And this way you don't turn out with any drastic switch of the "sound" of the tune you are working on. I remember when I started making music and always begun with the intro, the drop always seamed so weird.

I guess the most logic thing is to start from the beginning of a tune when you are starting to learn it all. ^^

I'm definitely going to try this method out! seems legit but I noticed that i dont put the needed emphasis on single sections of a track, but on the wholeness...and i realized that this is the problem. I'll need to invest time on single sounds more, cause if I do it like in a bit of a rush or such or just want to reach a dnb-like sounding section, it sounds too primitive...like the PROJEKT1 track's intro.

Off too digging some sounds out of the DAW!

i make the main part of a tune b4 an intro. building an intro for a main part is easier than building an epic intro to be let down by a shit drop

A tip, maybe. Sometimes when I run out of inspiration, ideas, or even just the energy to push on for a track. I'll just stop producing for a bit, won't open my DAW ever unless I think of cool presets I could make. Sometimes, making new presets I'll get a good idea for where it could go, but I just let it sit for a bit. And as the weeks build, you just keep thinking of heaps of ideas for all these sound. Take a step back, and make a new song even, in a different genre. Or just go sample hunting; maybe you'll find a cool snare or quotes, etc. you might like to fit into a song. Go looking for vocals, too. Sometimes remixing is a bit more easier, cause you have a general idea to go off of, etc. Or, just go outside and have a good night out, and take notice of all the things around you, try to get inspiration from things that stand out for you. Or, find a track you really like, put it in your DAW and try and remake it. Get a new flow and different sense of rhythm, or just outlook and find inspiration from your own ideas you can get off of that. Starting in the middle is sometimes easier, making the drop, etc. But just go with what you feel comfortable doing first. Don't feel like you're in a routine, just go with what makes you comfortable, something you know can inspire you more. May be adding the pads, or drums, or the drop, or whatever it is. I find mastering as I go with a track, instead of after, I get a better feeling about it. Then I'll change it, etc. Anyways, good luck.
