Hey guys, I've currently been producing for about 4 months now and I've made a lot of progress with music theory, composition and production. My problem is I still feel uncomfortable making full length tracks. I love the drum programming and find it fun to mess around with beats, and understand all the terminology; but other than that, I struggle making progress in a track. I normally have a little melody in my head, play it out, but can't decide if it should be my bassline or melody, most of the times it's too complex for a bassline but when I make it a melody, it doesn't sit well with my drums. I have a problem harmonizing my bassline, melody, lead and drums. I haven't got a real workflow yet, although I usually start with a drum pattern first then try to create a bassline, and go from there. I'm just hoping this comes with experience, I don't produce a lot, I'm still reading up on theory but I'm adamant to learn. I just hope improvement is inevitable, and this becomes second nature c:
If anyone could give me any tips, advice, or references on harmonizing and getting elements to sit well in a mix, I'd be greatful.
