Hiya. I've been wondering which programs you use to create Inverted Fate's OST, and what you'd recommend for a beginner in composing? I think you've mentioned both before but it's also been a while. Thanks. ^^
I use FL Studio 12, and I use a lot of soundfonts to do most of the heavylifting. Realeight is a pretty decent guitar VST, and Guitar Rig is a solid amp, but I'm sure there are other options, like the ultimate guitar kit soundfont. It's hard to say how beginner friendly it is, since I had some musical background beforehand, but there should be a lot of tutorials, at least!

Year-End Poll #58: 2007
[Image description: a collage of photos of the 10 musicians and musical groups featured in this poll. In order from left to right, top to bottom: Beyoncé, Rihanna, Gwen Stefani, Fergie, T-Pain, Carrie Underwood, Plain White T's, Akon, Nelly Furtado, Fergie. End description]
More information about this blog here
This poll highlights some interesting changes in the direction pop music was heading. By this point, it was clear that pop music was shifting towards a more electronic sound and specifically club music. Buy U a Drank by T-Pain is especially notable for this. Most obviously, T-Pain was one of the most successful adopters of Auto-Tune as a stylistic choice. I touched on the plugin briefly when discussing Cher's Believe, but with both that sound and most of T-Pain's discography, the vocal effect was used to give off a futuristic, almost robotic quality to the voice. But that didn't stop Auto-Tune (and T-Pain specifically) from being used as a punching bag for "untalented singing". In case it needs to be said, the exaggerated use of Auto-Tune on these songs were a stylistic choice. If you're using Auto-Tune to fix a bad vocal performance and it sounds like that, someone messed up. (Also T-Pain actually is a very talented vocalist).
I'm also bringing up this song for how it represents a subgenre of southern hip-hop that would become forever associated with the decade: snap music. While it has its stylistic origins in crunk, snap was recognizable for its simpler production and more laid-back sound. Popular snap songs from the time include Laffy Taffy, Crank That (Soulja Boy), and It's Goin' Down. While not on this poll, Crank That (Soulja Boy) is relevant for being one of the first examples of a song taking off online (as in, someone made the song and posted it online themselves). The song was first posted to SoundClick before expanding to a wider audience on MySpace.
This subgenre is more commonly remembered as "ringtone rap", for how this sound really worked with the audio processing technology capable of cellphones at the time. Like "bubblegum pop" in the past and "mumble rap" in the future, the term "ringtone rap" was often used in a derogatory sense.
But the simpler production techniques found on these tracks is also emblematic of how music production was starting to become much more accessible. Crank That (Soulja Boy) was created using a demo version of FL Studio, and the drum loop for Rihanna's Umbrella comes from Apple's GarageBand (specifically Vintage Funk Kit 03). Technology was allowing people to have easier access to both music production and audiences.
Also, this was the year this site was founded. Yay.

if you could pick something you'd change from any album, what would it be?
ive heard that artists grow and learn to hear the tiny tiny things in their art they could improve on, and im wondering what you'd change, if anything at all!!
ive been mulling this over for a while, and i think id generally try to use more varied instruments, especially in my later pre-pawpan albums
if you didn't know, i used to make my music on soundtrap until i got FL studio in late 2022... the instruments and presets are very limited there and so i tended to stick to a favourite few, such as the same drum kit, same piano, same square wave, etc
but honestly, i don't have much issue with my older music... a lot of it holds quite a lot of sentimental value, so i probably wouldn't change too much
thank you for this question!! i had to think about it for a bit but i like questions like these

What Is a Drum Pad? A Beginner’s Guide to Electronic Percussion
In today’s world of modern music production and live performance, technology and rhythm go hand in hand. Whether you're a beginner drummer, an aspiring beatmaker, or a touring artist, chances are you've come across the term drum pad. But what exactly is a drum pad, and why has it become a staple in both home studios and on stage?
Let’s break it down in this beginner’s guide to electronic percussion.
What Is a Drum Pad?
A drum pad is an electronic device designed to simulate the feel and response of traditional drums. It typically consists of rubber or mesh surfaces (called pads) that respond to touch or impact. When you strike the pad with a drumstick or finger, it triggers a digital sound — often a drum, cymbal, percussion effect, or even a melodic instrument.
Drum pads come in various shapes and sizes. Some are compact units with a few playable zones, while others are full-fledged electronic drum kits or MIDI controllers integrated into music production workflows. Regardless of form, the purpose of a drum pad is to give users an expressive, tactile way to create rhythmic sounds.
Types of Drum Pads
There are different types of drum pads depending on their usage:
1. Practice Pads
These are simple rubber or mesh pads used by acoustic drummers to practice silently. While they don’t produce sound, they help develop stick control and timing.
2. Electronic Drum Pads
These pads are used in electronic drum kits and feature built-in triggers. When struck, they produce realistic drum sounds through an audio module or software.
3. MIDI Drum Pads
Common in music production, MIDI drum pads (like the Akai MPD or Native Instruments Maschine) connect to a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) and trigger samples, loops, or virtual instruments.
Why Use a Drum Pad?
Whether you're a beginner or a professional, a drum pad offers several advantages:
- Quiet Practice
Drum pads allow you to practice without disturbing others. With headphones, you can work on your timing and technique at any hour.
- Portability
Drum pads are lightweight and compact, making them ideal for musicians on the go or those with limited space.
- Versatility
You can assign any sound to any pad — from kick drums and snares to congas, vocal chops, or synths. This makes drum pads essential tools in electronic music production.
- Integration with Software
Many drum pads work seamlessly with DAWs like Ableton Live, FL Studio, and Logic Pro, allowing producers to build beats, trigger loops, and perform live.
Features to Look for in a Drum Pad
If you're just starting out, here are some key features to consider:
Number of Pads: Most beginner drum pads have 4 to 16 pads. More pads give you more room to experiment.
Velocity Sensitivity: This determines how the pad responds to the strength of your hit — soft taps produce quieter sounds, while harder hits are louder.
Built-in Sounds vs. MIDI Output: Some pads come with pre-loaded sounds, while others must be connected to software or an audio module.
Port and Connectivity: Look for USB, MIDI, and headphone ports depending on your needs.
Getting Started
To begin using a drum pad, all you need is the pad itself, a pair of headphones or speakers, and (if it’s a MIDI pad) a laptop or computer with music software. Many entry-level models come with bundled apps or VSTs to get you started right away.
Start with basic patterns, play along with a metronome, and gradually explore layering sounds and effects. You’ll quickly find that a drum pad is not just a tool for drummers — it’s a gateway into rhythm creation and electronic music exploration.
Conclusion
A drum pad is more than just a digital alternative to acoustic drums — it’s a versatile instrument in its own right. For beginners, it offers a user-friendly way to learn rhythm, create beats, and dive into electronic percussion. Whether you’re practicing quietly at home or performing live on stage, a drum pad opens up endless creative possibilities for modern musicians.

How to Use a Drum Pad for Live Performances and Studio Recording
Drum pads have revolutionized the way drummers and producers approach live performances and studio recording. These compact, versatile electronic percussion instruments allow musicians to trigger custom sounds, loops, and effects with precision. Whether you’re a drummer looking to enhance your live setup or a producer aiming for seamless beat production, mastering the use of drum pads can elevate your musical output.
In this guide, we’ll explore how to effectively use a drum pad for live performances and studio recording, covering setup, techniques, and best practices.
Using a Drum Pad for Live Performances
Drum pads are a game-changer for live performances, allowing drummers, DJs, and electronic artists to trigger samples, backing tracks, and effects in real time.
1. Choosing the Right Drum Pad for Live Gigs
Not all drum pads are suitable for live performances. The best drum pads for gigs should have:
Durable build quality to withstand rigorous use.
Velocity-sensitive pads for dynamic playability.
Multiple input/output options for seamless integration with other equipment.
Customizable sound banks to switch between kits easily.
Popular models like the Roland SPD-SX, Alesis Strike MultiPad, and Akai MPD series are preferred by live performers.
2. Setting Up Your Drum Pad for a Gig
To ensure a smooth performance, follow these steps:
Assign Your Sounds: Load custom samples, drum kits, or loops to match your setlist.
MIDI and Audio Connections: Connect the drum pad to your PA system, mixer, or other instruments via MIDI or audio output.
Positioning Matters: Place the drum pad within easy reach of your main drum kit or performance setup.
Check Trigger Sensitivity: Adjust pad sensitivity to avoid accidental triggers or missed hits.
3. Playing Techniques for Live Performance
Layering Sounds: Use multiple sound layers on a single pad to blend acoustic and electronic drum elements.
Looping & Sampling: Trigger backing tracks, vocal samples, or ambient loops to enhance your performance.
Hybrid Setup: Combine your drum pad with an acoustic drum kit to blend live drumming with electronic elements.
4. Avoiding Common Live Performance Issues
Backup Your Sounds: Always have a secondary storage option in case of file corruption.
Test Before the Show: Run a soundcheck to avoid latency or volume imbalances.
Use a Stable Stand: Secure your drum pad to prevent movement during an intense performance.
With the right setup and preparation, a drum pad can elevate your live performances, making them more dynamic and engaging.
Using a Drum Pad for Studio Recording
In the studio, drum pads are essential tools for creating beats, triggering samples, and enhancing production workflows.
1. Connecting a Drum Pad to Your DAW
To use a drum pad in a recording setup:
MIDI Connection: Connect via USB or MIDI to control virtual drum kits in DAWs like Ableton Live, FL Studio, Logic Pro, or Pro Tools.
Audio Output: Some drum pads allow direct audio recording by routing them through an audio interface.
Latency Settings: Adjust buffer size in your DAW to minimize latency for a real-time playing experience.
2. Programming Drum Patterns with a Drum Pad
Instead of manually inputting beats with a mouse, you can:
Use finger drumming techniques to create realistic rhythms.
Quantize MIDI data for tight, consistent beats.
Layer sounds by assigning kick, snare, hi-hat, and percussion to different pads.
3. Sampling and Sound Design
Many drum pads allow sampling custom sounds, which can be useful for:
Creating signature drum kits using recorded percussion.
Adding organic textures by sampling household objects or nature sounds.
Manipulating samples with pitch shifting, time stretching, and effects.
4. Enhancing Studio Workflow with Drum Pads
Drum pads streamline beat production by:
Speeding up workflow with quick MIDI input.
Allowing natural drum dynamics for a human feel in electronic beats.
Integrating with other studio gear, such as synthesizers and samplers.
5. Common Studio Mistakes to Avoid
Forgetting to Adjust Pad Sensitivity: Some pads may be too responsive or not responsive enough—tweak velocity settings accordingly.
Not Using MIDI Mapping: Assign specific drum sounds to each pad to create a more intuitive workflow.
Ignoring Sound Layering: Add subtle ghost notes or textures to make beats sound more realistic.
Conclusion
Drum pads are powerful tools for both live performances and studio recording. Whether you’re triggering loops on stage or crafting beats in a DAW, mastering sound assignment, MIDI connectivity, and playing techniques will unlock endless creative possibilities.
For live performances, ensure a reliable setup, assign sounds wisely, and practice dynamic playing techniques. In studio settings, integrate your drum pad with your DAW, experiment with sampling, and refine your MIDI programming skills.
By fully utilizing your drum pad’s potential, you can enhance your music production, create dynamic performances, and expand your drumming versatility.

From Studio to Radio: A Musician’s Journey
Breaking into the music industry is no small feat. For many artists, the journey begins in a modest studio, fueled by dreams of reaching a global audience. But turning a passion for music into a sustainable career takes more than just talent—it demands strategy, hard work, and the ability to adapt. Among the many milestones on this path, getting your music on the radio is a significant achievement that can catapult your career to new heights. In this guide, we’ll explore key steps to take your music from the studio to radio airwaves while leveraging digital platforms like Spotify and YouTube for maximum impact.
The Role of Digital Streaming Platforms Before aiming for radio airplay, understanding the landscape of digital streaming is essential. Spotify, one of the largest streaming platforms in the world, is a vital tool for independent artists. But how much do you earn Spotify as an artist? The answer depends on several factors, including the number of streams, the listener's location, and your agreements with distributors. While payouts per stream might seem small at first, they add up as you build a loyal listener base. With consistent releases and engaging marketing, Spotify can become a dependable income stream and a stepping stone to larger opportunities like radio play.
Building a Strong Foundation in Music Production Quality matters in music production, especially when your ultimate goal is to appeal to radio stations. Using the best software for making music beginner can significantly impact your sound quality. Programs like Ableton Live, GarageBand, or FL Studio provide powerful tools for crafting professional tracks even if you're just starting. Experiment with features like multi-track editing, sound effects, and virtual instruments to create polished songs. Investing time in mastering these tools will not only elevate your music but also prepare you for the high standards of radio submissions.
Steps to Get Your Music on the Radio Radio airplay has long been considered a mark of success for artists. Here’s how to navigate this crucial step:
Research Radio Stations Start by identifying stations that match your music genre. College radios, local stations, and online platforms are more accessible for new artists. Curating a list of targets ensures your submission reaches the right audience.
Prepare a Professional Press Kit Your press kit should include a high-quality recording of your song, a well-written artist bio, and a professional photo. Some stations may also request a short interview or details about your live performances.
Leverage Connections Networking with DJs, producers, and other artists in the industry can make a significant difference. Many stations prioritize submissions from trusted sources.
Follow Submission Guidelines Every station has specific submission requirements. Ignoring these could result in your track being overlooked. Be sure to follow instructions carefully and include a compelling pitch to make your music stand out.
Learning how to get your music on the radio may seem daunting, but persistence pays off. Even one successful play can introduce your work to thousands of potential fans.
The Importance of Songwriting and Lyrics Lyrics play a vital role in connecting with your audience. Whether you're crafting emotional ballads or upbeat anthems, the words you choose leave a lasting impression. If you're ever stuck for inspiration, knowing where to search lyrics of a song can help spark ideas. Platforms like Genius or Musixmatch let you explore themes, metaphors, and storytelling techniques used by iconic songwriters. Combining strong lyrics with innovative melodies ensures your music resonates with listeners, making it more likely to catch the attention of radio curators.
Expanding Your Reach with YouTube In addition to radio and streaming platforms, YouTube is a powerful tool for sharing your music and building your brand. With over 2 billion monthly active users, the platform offers unparalleled opportunities for exposure. But how much do you earn on YouTube as a musician? Earnings depend on ad revenue, sponsorships, and viewer engagement. Posting music videos, behind-the-scenes content, and live performances can attract a diverse audience while generating income. Furthermore, YouTube analytics provide valuable insights into your audience demographics, helping you refine your promotional strategies.
Creating a Holistic Promotion Plan Success in the music industry requires more than talent; it demands strategic planning and consistent effort. Here are additional tips to help you reach new heights:
Collaborate with Other Artists Working with fellow musicians introduces your music to their audience, expanding your reach.
Utilize Social Media Platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter are invaluable for engaging with fans and promoting new releases.
Perform Live Live performances allow you to connect directly with listeners. They also provide content for your social media and YouTube channels.
Gather Feedback Share your tracks with trusted friends or mentors to receive constructive criticism. This helps refine your work before submitting it to larger platforms.
Stay Persistent The path to success is rarely linear. Stay committed to your craft and remain open to learning and adapting.
Conclusion The journey from the studio to the radio requires determination, preparation, and the effective use of resources. Platforms like Spotify and YouTube offer valuable opportunities for growth, while tools for music production and lyric exploration enhance your creativity. By following the steps outlined in this guide, you can position yourself for success and ensure your music reaches its full potential. Whether you’re submitting tracks to radio stations or building your online presence, remember that every effort counts in shaping your career.

How to Make Snap Music: A Beginner’s Guide to Creating Minimal Beats
Snap music, a subgenre of hip-hop that thrived in the early 2000s, is known for its minimalist beats, catchy hooks, and, of course, the signature snapping sound that gives the genre its name. Originating in Atlanta, Georgia, snap music became a cultural phenomenon with artists like D4L and Dem Franchize Boyz leading the charge. While the genre’s mainstream popularity has waned, its influence can still be felt in modern music. If you’re interested in making your own snap music tracks, this guide will walk you through the essentials.
1. Understanding Snap Music's Core Elements
Before diving into production, it's crucial to understand the basic elements that define snap music:
Minimalist Beats: The hallmark of snap music is its simplicity. The beats are stripped down, often relying on a drum machine, claps, and, of course, snaps.
Snapping Sound: The snapping fingers replace traditional hi-hats or cymbals in many tracks, creating a distinct rhythm.
Catchy Hooks: Songs typically feature repetitive and easy-to-remember hooks designed for crowd participation.
Call-and-Response Lyrics: Lyrics often have a conversational style, with one line being "answered" by the next, creating an engaging back-and-forth dynamic.
2. Essential Tools for Making Snap Music
You don’t need a state-of-the-art studio to create snap music; the genre thrives on simplicity. Here’s what you’ll need:
Digital Audio Workstation (DAW): Popular options like FL Studio, Ableton Live, and Logic Pro are perfect for producing beats.
Drum Kits: Look for drum packs specifically designed for hip-hop or trap music, as they often include snap samples.
MIDI Keyboard: While not mandatory, a MIDI keyboard can help with creating melodies and basslines.
Microphone: A simple microphone setup is sufficient for recording vocals and ad-libs.
3. Step-by-Step Guide to Creating Snap Music Beats
Step 1: Start with the Snaps
The snapping sound is the backbone of any snap music track. Start by layering a clean snap sample on the second and fourth beats of a 4/4 time signature. This establishes the signature bounce of the genre.
Step 2: Add the Kick and Clap
Next, add a deep kick drum on the first beat of each bar to give the track its rhythm. Complement the snaps with a clap sound to accentuate the beat. Use the clap sparingly to avoid overcrowding the mix.
Step 3: Build a Minimalist Melody
Using your DAW, create a simple, repetitive melody. Instruments like bells, plucked strings, or synthesized pianos work well for snap music. Keep the melody light and catchy, ensuring it doesn’t overpower the vocals.
Step 4: Incorporate Basslines
A groovy bassline can add depth to your track. Focus on a bass pattern that complements the snaps and melody. Sub-bass or 808 sounds are common choices in snap music production.
Step 5: Add Vocals and Ad-Libs
Record vocals that are simple yet energetic. The lyrics should be fun and easy to chant along with. Ad-libs like “hey” or “yeah” can be sprinkled throughout the track to maintain the energy.
4. Adding Your Personal Touch
Although snap music has a distinct style, don’t be afraid to experiment and add your own flavor:
Experiment with Samples: Add unique sounds or vocal chops to make your track stand out.
Incorporate Modern Influences: Blend elements of modern trap or R&B to create a fresh take on snap music.
Layer Effects: Use effects like reverb or delay on snaps and claps to create more atmosphere.
5. Mastering and Sharing Your Track
Once your snap music track is complete, mastering ensures that it sounds polished and professional. Here’s how to finalize your project:
EQ and Compression: Balance the frequencies and ensure the snaps, vocals, and bass all sit well in the mix.
Volume Levels: Ensure that no element is overpowering another, maintaining the genre’s minimalist aesthetic.
Export in High Quality: Save your track in formats like WAV or MP3 at a high bitrate for the best audio quality.
After mastering, you’ll want to share your music with the world. Platforms like Spotify and Amazon Music are excellent options for reaching a broader audience. Transferring your playlists and tracks between these platforms is also seamless, thanks to tools that help migrate songs from Spotify to Amazon Music.
6. Tips for Success in the Snap Music Scene
Collaborate with Others: Work with other artists to gain exposure and share creative ideas.
Leverage Social Media: Platforms like Instagram and TikTok are great for promoting snap music tracks and creating viral dance challenges.
Stay True to the Genre: While innovation is important, retaining the core elements of snap music is key to authenticity.
Conclusion
Creating snap music is a fun and rewarding process that allows you to express yourself through minimalist beats and catchy rhythms. By understanding the genre’s fundamentals and incorporating modern influences, you can craft tracks that stand out while staying true to the style. Whether you're a newcomer or an experienced producer, embracing snap music can bring a unique edge to your music production journey. And if you’re distributing your tracks across platforms, consider how tools can help you transfer your favorite beats from Spotify to Amazon Music, ensuring your creations reach listeners everywhere.
