Question

Just wanted to share a recreation of Blinding Lights I made in like 30ish mins. I really like The Weeknd's style.

Answer 1

The most difficult part was probably getting the synths to sound right. I think if I spent a little longer on it I could've gotten it to sound more like the original, but alas

Answer 2

i like itttt

Answer 3

Sounds guuud : )

Answer 4

i don't think you should change anything it sounds rlly good

Answer 5

Okay, I just spent like 10 minutes mixing it and this is the final mix :)

Answer 6

that's rlly good

Answer 7

dang I didn't know u produced music bs :p

Answer 8

oh mysterious

Answer 9

Lol, I bet. I enjoyed the mix. Lmk if you have a soundcloud/spotify or something, ill follow :P

Answer 10

Ableton Live was the most intimidating thing I had ever seen when I launched it for the first time.

Answer 11

im blinding by the lightzzz

Answer 12

ooo there good i like there music

Answer 13

Definitely sounds like you're digging it. What genre are you going for?

Answer 14

Probably pop/synthpop. I like 80s music, so that's why I like The Weeknd.

Answer 15

ooo thats good

Answer 16

Makes sense, that's hype tho :p

Answer 17

Literally the most confusing thing to look at when you've never used Ableton Live before

Answer 18

Nothing a few hundred tutorials can't solve

Answer 19

i love it

Answer 20

Did you downloaded any Plug-ins for the sound effects?

Answer 21

I used a plug-in to help with mixing, but that's it

Answer 22

Have you tried FL studio?

Answer 23

I've only used GarageBand, Logic Pro and Ableton Live. I tried FL Studio like 4 or 5 years ago though, and I also have FL Studio Mobile

Answer 24

Bet, imma try them. Overall, good sounds. Keep doing good work!

Answer 25

Thanks! And if anyone has Ableton Live and they'd like to take a look at the project file and look at how I made the instruments and stuff, just ask!

Answer 26

I used 2 analog synths, 2 wavetable synths and a drum rack with a linn kick, analog snare and obv a very high reverb clap

Answer 27

Bro the reverb from the end is sick i tried to do that in premiere pro but yours is completely better

Answer 28

The clap reverb?

Answer 29

That's the settings for the reverb. I also have a little bit of delay added through Send B, but it's probably not as noticable as the reverb

Answer 30

That reverb is just for the claps

Answer 31

Imma download that program, maybe u could teach me sum, seems fun

Answer 32

Do you have a Mac or Windows PC?

Answer 33

If you have a Mac, you'd probably want to start with Logic Pro

Answer 34

Ableton Live is just hella confusing, and I'm still learning how to properly use it

Answer 35

Windows

Answer 36

What kind of music do you make?

Answer 37

I have never done this, i wanna try doing.

Answer 38

OH

Answer 39

Well, FL Studio or Cubase might be a great place to start

Answer 40

You could technically start with Ableton Live, but it's probably easier to convert from those DAWs to Ableton Live than actually starting with it. Ableton Live is really really confusing for beginners

Answer 41

FL Studio is great for hip hop, rap and trap, but some pop artists also use it. Cubase is usually for pop and synth. The Weeknd uses it for his recent albums.

Answer 42

Ableton Live is just more of an industry-standard pop DAW, and it's also used for rock, house, EDM and stuff as well

Answer 43

Alright, imma install that.

Answer 44

They're all used for producing music though

Answer 45

You've also got Pro Tools as well. I think Charlie Puth and Nicki Minaj use it

Answer 46

I've never tried it though, so I can't say how complicated it is

Answer 47

I'm a beginner so imma start with FL

Answer 48

Okay, great choice

Answer 49

Learning from the best ofc.
