On a extra technical degree, I additionally deliberately stored sure musical components constant.
For instance, the primary two tracks are in the identical key (D minor), are solely 5 BPM aside, characteristic feminine old-school rave-influenced vocals, and share the identical construction: intro, verse, buildup, drop, buildup, drop, outro. Within the second half of the EP, each tracks characteristic male vocals and are designed to transition immediately into one another when listened to in sequence.
By holding these structural, tonal, and conceptual components aligned, I used to be capable of let the sound palettes distinction whereas nonetheless grounding the EP as one cohesive physique of labor.
Professional tip from St. Mary: You’ll develop into a greater producer a lot quicker by finishing extra songs, even when they’re not ‘excellent’, than by endlessly sharpening a handful of tracks. Ending teaches you excess of tweaking, and the quicker you full music, the extra you’ll finally create over your lifetime (which is the entire level!)
