Only use what you need to get the point across for the certain song.

For example if the songs intention is just to be melodic and ambient for nightime you emphasize that part and not have some funky rhythm or something.

If the songs suppsed to be hard, keeping the melody and chords straightfoward is the best way. The drums are the real emphasis

Basically you wanna have a concept or vibe you wanna focus on in every song

Yeah idk man. Right away I can tell the drum pattern doesn't really have a genre to it, unless you're trying to do a movie score lol.

Another thing thats really helped me is using the same drum patterns for the genre I'm making. So if a sound I made sounds Rnb, then it's likely I'm gonna make it a 140 bpm project, with a snare on every third beat. That's the usual process for modern rnb give or take. This applies to Trap too.

If I'm making a dance beat its gonna be 99-120 bpm depending on the vibe, 4 floor kicks and claps on 2 and 4.

So first for me always comes sound selection, then I just see what genre I wanna put it in.

Lemme drop this gem real quick on my songwriters here (or at least what I think is a gem)

Upon research and enough evidence from many hit songs, I've noticed a pattern of the first line of a verse or hook taking inspiration from the first line of a verse of hook from another song

Then the newer hook or verse does its own thing after the first line...

In my latest example - the pre-chorus from Nickelback's Rockstar and the hook from Lil Nas' Old Town Road:

(0:56-1:02)

(0:13-0:27)

"I'm gonna trade this life for fortune and fame
I'll even...

"I'm gonna take my horse to the old town road
I'm gonna...

• they both start right before the first bar
• they both start with "I'm gonna"
• the first line in each is eleven syllables, with the same exact meter
• the last word in each line ("fame" and "road") do a descending slide (or glissando for you violinist people) from the IV note to the root note
• the first line in each uses a near identical melody from an identical set of notes (save for one note):

I-I-I-V-IV-IV-IIIb7-V-IV-IIIb7-IV

Vs

i-i-i-v-iv-iii-i-i-v-iv-iv

Then Lil Nas does his own thing for "...ride till I can't no more"

People been doin this since like the 1800s b.

I aint even peep fam

You gon b the reason they sue lil nas doe

Lol

*you

free beats again just hmu

Just gotta delete some stuff lmao

Srs bro lmao a lot of people over produce but they just go and take out stuff if its too much. Dont worry about putting too much in because its up to you to make the decision on what to keep and what not to keep so just gotta start making those decisions and that fixes your problem

Yeah just make a loop and go from there but don’t get stuck in the loop use your creativity to travel outside of that too so don’t be afraid to throw something after that loop don’t matter what it is. You could be on a loop and be like yo it would be dope if it went from that into this and just threw some s*** on the second part but just be as creative as you can and keep experimenting there’s no rules to this s***

Just make weird sounds and save it don’t worry about making anything good just have fun with it
