Have You Found Your Sound?

[MetaDronos]

I think I found kind of path with many sounds and sound structures on it. This is quite specific path and I will explore it further.

[Frozen Lonesome]

I am searching for my "sound". With the recent excellent addition of my Minibrute to my IOS synth arsenal all bets for one "sound" are off. When I find it, I'll let you know. :listening:

I haven't found my sound either. Not yet anyway. I think it maybe like trying to make the perfect composition: you may never make it, but you'll have a lot of fun trying

I'm not even sure what specific genre I can make better music, still looking for that also.
The fact that I like to make music in different genres doesn't help either. What can I say? I love music so much I want to make it in ALL the styles I possibly can :D (talk about being delusional)

I have, but beats keep sneaking into it.

I managed to get about 1 minute into my last track without any beatz. I went outside for a cigarette, and when I returned, there they were, acting innocent :eek:

[Bobbotov]

I found my sound on acid. Not something you forget.

[Negative Spectrum]

since im fairly new to producing ambient i'm still looking for my sound but i know i love using natural elements and sound effects, i;m also a big fan of sounds travelling across the stereo field a la grantchester meadows by pink floyd

I'm kind of impressed by guys like S1gns and Metadronos who always seem to have an identifiable, personal "voice" in their pieces. I feel like I'm nowhere near that sort of thing ... I think I get distracted too easily or something, and keep wanting to try different things.

Thank you so much man! I strive with each track to find that voice...the personal fingerprint in my tracks that other's recognize. Honored that you hear it and called me out on it.

Keep working with your experiments and a direction will present itself. Afterall, speaking for myself, that's how I arrived at my current style. Just trying a bunch of different things until I finally heard the music that was in my head.

Cheers,

Finally, I think I'm getting there. The devilish twist is that the next track being planned is currently completely different in form and certainly won't sound anything like my current WIPs. Rock style drum and bass (not DnB), lots of riffing with harmonics.

[Heaven And Hell]

Other than finding my drum sound, I believe I have my death metal sound down.

Ambient? No where close to finding my own sound.

Thank you
Yes, I think I found my sound area, but surely I have more to discover there. Stay tuned ;)

I do think i've found my sound. But i'm working on alternate ways to get to that sound. Rather than it being a top down approach generated from deconstructing pre-existing sounds i've been working on building the sounds from scratch. Obviously the next phase will be bi-directional ;)

i have never thought about finding my own sound - I really just have an idea and try and realise that - both as an initial idea and then as an evolving idea through the process of creating the piece. So I always have an idea of a 'sound' but I've never thought of it as trying to get 'my sound'

I've been playing piano since I was five... synths since 13, trumpet, bass, live bands, etc... I have a few things that do more or less define my sound. Rhythms I lean towards, phrasings, the types of sounds I blend together, chord progressions that just sound "right" to me, certain gear that I lean on more than others because I've had them 25 years... BUT - like has been mentioned before... I'm always striving to add, to blend, to bring in new inspiration.

I recognize my sound because it's me - I haven't released enough for others to recognize it though. :-)
