One more thing I have is how to transition in a song. I mean I have tried in past to make a future bass track which then either gets transitioned to trap or dubstep or 4/4 house but it just never meshes together? Also, I have tried making an orchestral kinda track which then either goes to future bass or dubstep but the transition between them is kinda bad & I am struggling a lot with it. Can you help regarding it? Is the problem still with mixing or something else?

I know you have made a video on how to layer but I think the biggest problem I am currently having is whenever I try to layer chords for future bass, it just doesn't sound good. It either sounds mid-heavy or too much highs, I think the problem is towards mixing rather than selecting sounds. How should I overcome this problem?

also, why does my sub sound louder at different notes but i don’t see a difference in volume on a frequency spectrum?

What's your advice for sounding a little more unique? Especially in melodic dubstep and future bass!

How do you start your main bass motifs/rhythms?

How much time a day do you try to dedicate towards producing?

How much time do you dedicate to production/mixing/idea generation/self time/touring in a regular week?

Whats your approach for designing and layering leads? They always sound so full and massive in the mix!

How do you land remixes for larger artists as an up and coming producer? Do you make the remix using a ripped acapella, send it to their management and hope for the best?

I think it would be cool to show us your approach on making live edits/mashups!

How to do transitions?

I like trying to mesh genres together or come up with unique songs, so my question is: Outside of having the same elements/sounds but processed differently, what do you believe is needed to make a drop and verse sound cohesive in one song?

What’s your process for preparing a DJ set?

When you started producing, did you have any background with music theory and/or did you play any instruments prior?

How do approach mixing elements when you want to create a lush and more emotive soundscape? Especially the really glitchy and mechanical sounding elements? I find I struggle with things feeling to “spacey” and losing the intensity or emotion because of the distance created by reverbs and echo. I love your ability to take heavy, low end and still keep the track light and moving without it feeling “weighed down” how do you achieve that? Thanks dude. I have been asking a few people that I admire this question but i really want to know from you as well: How do you approach goal setting and keeping yourself accountable to those goals over say…the course of a quarter (3 month periods)? Thank you ❤️
