There is none, no rules. Whatever you come up with, you add it.

i read maybe hundred times in making music are no rules but some fine way.. some producers must have techniques.. and proven techniques.. i thing in wobble dnb it is drums, subbass, pads, wobble bass, fill it.. from simpliest to difficult things.. i think what most wobble dnb producers technique uses.. please give it a think for us:):)

but what if you have a melodic idea before you have a drum loop?

you can start with such a "map" for production, but ideas often dont work that way.

maybe the best idea for you is to start with a template track, an empty track with a basic drum kit, bass, lead and pad synth already opened o basic patches. then you can swap these in and out as you need to or add to them, but to open a drum kit and not allow yourself to work on a lead until the drums are done seems counter productive.
:ud:

No standards. I sometimes don't even use drum and bass parts, or they might be the last parts that I write and the order doesn't really matter

Why do drums go first? There's no reason I can see that drum parts need to be written first. They could be written last.

yes, yes.. if u have wobble idea first then you dont go writting drums and most of good songs if produced by ideas not just script it..(go without ideas step by step(some logic in producing) throught the song).. key idea of this thread is you can have a idea.... thank you all againg:) you are veery clever;)

As op said. There are no rules to writing music…

You need to be looking at tutorials on youtube - There's plenty of them (but make sure you're looking at people who actually know what they are doing).

And even then, you write whatever way suits your style.

like people said, there are no rules... BUT

you might find, through experimentation, that there is a certain method/order of operations that yields the results you want. It's not necessarily bad to arrive at a particular way you typically do things; I think a lot of successful producers do this (some I know personally). However, keep in mind that this is in some way limiting what your results will be. So if things are starting to get stale, try doing something different, it may feel funny at first, but it will yield different results.

I think this is one thing that sets some musicians apart from others, they are constantly tweaking their process (mainly out of boredom I imagine). You could say it's like anything else. Take sex for instance, if you do the same thing for years on end, it might bet a little dull and you might want to try something else. Heh.. :oops:


but yea.. don't be afraid to get into a groove for awhile, and then don't be afraid to change it. But mainly.. be looking out for what works for YOU. Learn how your brain likes to make music.
