New suggestion for Dave

[Seisure]

Since Dave has done just about EVERY genre that you can do just electronically.. I'd like to see some redos of the older 7 day songs. Just for what he's(you've) learned over the years since they have been uploaded.. I haven't seen many tutorials lately, despite me just starting to use the forum.. Anybody else agree? I'm honestly in to everything just because I like taking stuff from other genres and clashing it together

Dewd, you can do anything just electronically :3 And even in EDM he only barely scratched the surface. There's other stuff he has to do before redoing others. Also, the 7 day songs are not GREAT. But that's not because Dave's lack of knowledge or technique, it's because of the fact that it has to be accesible to beginners, and it has to fit in 7 days. That's not easy. Already the latest ones use multiple parts per day.

I have to agree that his tutorials aren't really for the more advanced producers. But I guess also that the less you specialize in one specific genre, the stuff you'll have to learn grows exponentially. I don't think Dave is pro in all genres (probably his singing and fusing EDM genres with metal only), but I don't expect a whole lot more, because his aim is so broad. If you want to be really pro at a genre, you have to go for that genre and dedicate your time to specialize in it. You can't do that with so many genres.

I like them.. I'm not the most experienced though especially in Reason. I appreciate the work he puts in and the way he shares it.. It covers the basics of the genres though and what ever else you'd like to do in your song you can either make yourself or youtube some other tutorial.. and I know you can do about ever electronically.. He covered basically a lot of the bigger genres that people like to make and have no resource to start at..

Not entirely true. I've been doing dubstep/hardstyle for years now and many of the techniques I've used may very well seemlessly apply to House, Breaks and other genres and I could wing one track and make it a pretty damn good track. There are universal rules (like mixing, mastering, structure), but the thing that spans over a ton of projects is the FEEL you get for said genre you want to specialize in.

that feel.

[Rmonik]

That's true. In fact, once you specialize in one type of production, you'll find that you will shape other genres to the same workflow, thus creating an own "style".

Sorry, but I simply can't understand how I could specialize in one genre. I mean, one day I've got this house beat in my mind, the next day it's all d&b and the other it's pure dubstep.... Few days ago I started with a little idea for a pop song. I wouldn't want to miss out on all those styles and ideas...

But it have been around more than a half years since he uploaded the last 7 day song.
