I really like your work! Keep on it! How did you create that clap sound in this song? https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/53tohuci5h76wuo/Jamz%20Bonne%20nuit.mp3

Amazing sounding J, all you need now is a topliner!

Thanks guys, I'm gonna put out a couple of remixes soon. I'm working really hard because I want a publishing deal.

@Rex It's like 3 layered claps and one tonal percussion sample. One clap has more body, the other is more white-noisy and longer, the other one is shorter and I place it just the before the attack. The percussion sample is to make it more unique (tune it to the key of your beat). Then I eq them, use the transient designer plug in on the whole thing to bring out the attack, a touch of distortion for more color and I send it to a short reverb bus that has a warm tape effect to make it sound bigger.

Try to avoid vengeance samples and other "EDM" sample packs. Try to cut drums from your favorite producers/songs and make them sound like your own.

Thanks for the tips! btw, do you use pro-tools?

Nah, I use Ableton Live.

Sounds a little too harsh to my ears, but thats just details -other than that I think it's great work.

Thank you for the feedback. I think so too, only with time and work my mixing will get better.

I'm sure you'll get a publishing deal, all you need to do is keep working on your craft -you're doing a great job- and try to make "songs"... it's easier that way.

Oh yeah I'm doing pop stuff/writing too, but it's more challenging to do stuff like this for me. Right now I'm just focusing on being really productive and lately I'm finding more inspiration away from pop music.

Here's a remix I'm working on, just a basic layout

how does one begin the process of achieving a publishing deal?  are lots of people trying to get one? is it competitive?

hmm...
