Good Morning All....
Typically when I put a song together (verse, hook, chorus, bridge) I start with a beat pulled from a single or several chopped up loops on Logic (Mac Audio sw). There are other times where I am riding the metro train (Washington DC) on my way home from work and a hook or chorus will pop into my brain. At that point I feel the need to rush home and record the vocal so I don't lose the energy behind the hook or chorus.
From what I have read every producer has his or her own method to building a track. Typically for me it is easiest to build a track off of a hook. In my opinion, the hook defines the mood and direction of a track. There is a track posted on our website titled "Again" that has a dramatic gospel type hook to it. I added some reverb and mild destortion to the loop making the hook all the more cinematic. The track started from that hook which ultimately dictated track direction. If you listen to the chorus you will hear "Never gonna see you again, like then, again. Now you'll never ever see me again." Listening to how the chorus comfortably drops into the dramatic hook draws me to the song. It paints a picture without having a verse on the track which is something I strive for. Making music is a passion for me and being able to hear/see that passion come to life is incredibly rewarding. If you have production tips or constructive critisim please feel free to share.
We appreciate your time....
