Does having 200 followers on soundcloud mean that i have potential?

first attempt at breakcore
depends on how organic your followers are, if they engage with your music, that's definitely a sign of potential
so hows those non woke lyrics going yall

How do I get this tone?
I'm very new to guitar, so I don't have any real ampsim vsts yet. Only a couple of simple ones from Airwindows, which have this old school blown out sound with resonant mids and midhighs. But this on vidrel is different, very neutral and smooth. Any advice on how to achieve? Is it all about amp choice or is there more to it? Which amp vst should I get? I don't think I'm going to use a real amp.
beautiful
I dont know how engaging they are, sometimes they come back to relisten to my songs but it doesnt happen often. All in all i have 2-3 plays per day which is terrible
I had months with 200-300 plays not too long ago tho
As long as you have ideas, don't give up and just persevere you have potential, I didn't make it until my 30s. The thing I recommend to any creative (aka small business owner) is to take a course in marketing and apply what you learn there to your musician adventure. Most artists don't know shit about marketing and think they'll succeed and make a living doing albanian dark electro-hop with a fanbase of a thousand people by spamming their tracks in caps lock in producer forums.
Luck also has nothing to do with it, the only ones yapping about luck is albanian dark electro-hop artists on reddit. Being jealous of nepobabies doesn't help either and you don't have to spend any money on marketing. I've spent a total of 1 dollar on marketing.
If you're music is good enough (aka can get featured on big youtube channels in your chosen genre) in a genre that's somewhat popular you're pretty much set. The only talents you need besides marketing is knowing when things sound like shit and finishing tracks.
I hope Alex didn't have to sell his synth collection to pay the sandy hook parents.
thats funny, cause my track was recently featured in one yt genre channel, has 2.5k plays tho. i didn't even ask the channel to put in on there
could you please post some pointers on marketing with or without money, you say you did it without money and that sounds awesome. I have no idea what to do marketing wise, except post my music on reddit, discord and on here which i already do

Remember the 90s?
I think they kind of went like this.

Anyone got one of these? Particularly 49/61 keys. I'm planning on buying one cause everything else in that price range is dogshit and this seems like it's pretty good. Keys are most important to me so any info on them would be appreciated.
Novation build quality is always garbage.
niggas should go back to using korg triton
Keys are most important to me
then don't buy novation.
Every modern synth since it has tried to copy its bright, brittle sound signature and all have failed
rate my production
If good keys and cheap is your goal then the Novation Impulse is better, but everything else about it is shit. It's ugly and the pitch and modwheel gives up after a couple of year.

does anyone happen to recognize the snare used in this? song is from 1999 so drum machine origin seems likely.
that's a break mate
Me trying to Fiona Apple or something. Idk why I made 2 outros
lol that's not breakcore even by a long shot
wow helpful post, many thanks
What's better in that price range then?
What should I buy then?
I was thinking about Impulse but really wouldn't want the wheels going out. And is it really that much of a difference in keys between the two given that they're both semi weighted and the launchkey's are a new design.
Keylab or Keylab Essential
Non copyright/public domain levels of production going on here. Honestly now that I think about it, this could actually work for advertiser friendly music. It's got that same vein as some background youtuber music.
Sounds like concernedape after he took an enrourmous dab. Idk I been playing a lot of stardew so my mind just went there
This is great anon you nailed that downtempo/new age sound. Would listen to a full album of it.
does anyone here have a strong preference between these production approaches:
#1:
vocaroo.com
modern indie, i guess like recent death cab for cutie
if this version is chosen, the final will have real drums, big bombastic chorus production etc
more minimalistic indietronica, i guess like postal service / bjork / radiohead
if this version is chosen, not much would change texturally, i'd just fuck with the drum programming and arrangement a bit
for reference our last single sounded like this: vocaroo.com
... but i'm trying to idk, experiment, branch out, see if we can appeal to more people, make them feel less lame when they listen to it
thanks for any and all help anons
I don't care for the modern indie sound, I feel like a lot of smaller acts end up sounding the same. While my personal tastes are closer aligned to postal service like music your 2nd clip sounds too much of an obvious of a postal service rip. I'd say go in the postal service route but try to make it yours, I would also venture to say the vocals should be sang differently if going the postal service route.
Never was a big fan of the indie dance sound kit, always sounded like "19 year old's first 909 patch". With that said, the modern indie approach does sound more like actual music to me. I feel like you could make it sound more indie though. Maybe strip some elements back but add more ear candy to fill the void. I dunno man, transients are important.
Update. I ended up moving everything by hand in midi to like 125, it took the past two days but I'm pretty happy with it. Next time I'm insisting on using a click.

Thanks man, it was good fun. The fact that half of it is just coming straight out of a korg wavestation made it easier. I might go back and make the bells just slightly more rhythmically complex, but overall it was fun to just envision the crystal shop.
Had fun making the render, too.
