Listen To Modnex - Never Forget Chill Out Song By Modnex At Looperman.com

sweet track. great start to my wednesday morning. someone probably mentioned - but usually I find that the track did update - just need to clear the history from the browser. As far as creative blocks go - I try not to think about what people might like (at least not initially) but rather what I am interested in creating at the moment. Later in the process I try to have the audience in mind because after all, music should move others, entertain. Peace.

Beautiful track, Modnex. Are you still using the same interface that you used for your other track that I tried mixing? This one really is sweet, has a very positive atmosphere that I really enjoy listening to. Perfect for a rainy day like today :)

It's cute in the start. As it goes longer, it gets catchy, and very enjoyable. That little xylophone like music box is very nice I must say. There's nothing wrong for me, since I rarely listen to Chillsteps but upon hearing this, it gives me more positive insights about it.
Thanks, and CHEERS

Great job, the atmosphere that this track brings is very vibrant and uplifting!

This is quite an enjoyable listen. The volume and tempo changes are a nice touch... Good job!

Ciao,

Really harmonious and good sounding track. Enlighten me about "chill out" music, is this type designed for vocals? Though i don't think i could come up with something for this per say,something made by you with more bass and drums would go pretty good. Excuse me for being too busy to check your other work at the moment and discover for myself whether or not i could answer my own question. Good work.

Very pleasant and uplifting vibe Modnex. I'm not noticing any lack of creativity, but those ups and downs are something that we all experience one way or another along our musical lives....maybe you should only pay a bit more
atention to the final production, cause there's quite alot of distortion to hear in some places. Other than that it's a very fine piece of music which you should be proud of!

Compliments_____Orlando

sounds like a movie score, very loud mix, but i like loud mixes so that's good with me ha!

What Pete said :p also try studying a bit of theory, so much free info available now a days!!! and put things into practice (try them out) as you learn, really helps me create new stuff. Experiment experiment experiment! Try listening to other types of music you like, that usually helps spark some ideas. I've been listening to Wardruna lately, Nordic viking music, I love it. Try different genres, step out of your comfort zone. I'll write blues, then metal, then something else. I really need to rty my hand at electronic. I like the white noise, keep it ;) Such a happy piece, what more can I say .

"I thought I lost my producing abilities"

I think everyone gets thats, i know i do
I try to listen to alot of music, get new software keep things new and interesting and stuff usually comes to me. you just have to patient and dont give up out of frustration.

This is a really cool track, super chill. Right down my alley :)

peace

this is great...very uplifting feel...don't think that you have any creative problems after listening to this track...unlike those 2 before me, I liked that white noise, though I know that it's out of the genre's expectations...but agree we the tempo changes...

Not much advice about the 'lack of creativity' period...go to run, enjoy the nature or the big city life day and night, to get effects...:-)

Handshake, Danke

I agree with all of Silverman's points. the song is sweet. If you remove the white noise you can replace it with a simple organic drum fill, that would do the trick. Then you can use a similar but not the same fill in other parts of the track to distinguish the sections. The key for my musical productions is in the percussion elements. It's what subconsciously holds the listener's interest. Add them subtly and quietly in the mix, sometimes panned far right or left (like a high hat, or a shaker), but it makes a difference. I used to suffer from reverse cymbal fever, in that I believed if I didn't have that element for a phrase change the whole thing would fall apart, but Static Nomad convinced me otherwise and he was correct, now I rarely use them. Oh Also, Right now I'm on a prolific streak of music but sometimes I have gone years without making music. I never force it. But I find if I go into a session with no plan for what I want to do sometimes inspiring things happen as well. Or choose to make a song about an abstract feeling or idea. "Today I'm gonna write a song about how the colour blue feels." for example. Silverman is right as well. Today's crap might actually be something great months or years later.

There's a wonderland kind of sound to this that I can imagine in a kids series or film.

Your not alone in the struggle to be creative. I have long periods where I'm not happy with much of what I produce but I've learnt to save stuff and maybe go back to it later maybe not. Some of the people on here arte not only exceptionally talented and creative they are prolific too .... very. Wish I could be like that but it's not happening. A drum a cymbal a hi hat a rim shot a bit of smooth synth or guitar something as smooth as the the rest of it. Maybe something a little muted like a bass of some kind. But to my ears what you have there just now doesn't sit right.

Very pleasant piece.
Two criticisms.
The white noise kind of rush which I myself use lots at 1.05 doesn't belong in this piece it's not needed.
Second it needs a couple of break points tempo changes whatever to just break it up that little bit. Otherwise I found it very relaxing and very well put together.
