how do you guys achieve a sound separation on your tracks?
for example, im listening to BoC's TCH and the drums cut through the mix, have their own space, synths have their own space, and all the leads jump up from the track like they are visible on their own, they have their own space
is there anything more to it than just EQ-ing?

you pick sounds that aren’t in the same spot and you don’t play overlapping sounds together.
be conscious of where things are in space (stereofield as well as closer/further) and adjust with eq of course.
really all there is to it. practice train your ears so on so on

Do I need one of those tracks that gets the crowd to wave their arms back and forth slowly?

that’s when i grab an overpriced beer to top off my pregame

no

They seem to be crowd pleasers, but I guess it's been overdone to death now

Is a base mini mac good enough for logic pro? I will be recording real instruments & using some samples.
I refuse to use anything other than Logic pro, it's genuinely the only DAW I want

reunite /dmp/ and /prod/

there is a thing called frequency masking. if you carve out the right frequencies for each track, they'll have their own space and not conflict with each other. and also what the other anon said, choose sounds that don't conflict with each other from the beginning.

Just use a sidechain and make it PUMP

How do you get good at this shit? Is it a matter of just making tons of songs? Or do you like reverse engineer songs and sounds you like and combine them? Like realistically what do I need to do every day to improve?

added more funk to the french house number after studying the biblical texts

Sounds fun

>>130013467
Yes

>>130013467
yes you huge number of songs, preferably over a wide range of genres. you spend time actively listening to music you like and breakdown how its been made - like really trying to understand all the finer elements. you practice recreating sounds. you learn synthesis. you learn mixing.
over time this all gets absorbed into your subconscious and then when youre making tracks youll just *know* what to do

Any thoughts on this, before I decide if I want to keep expanding it?

I'm using mine with FL Studio and I haven't run into any issues. To be fair I'm not one for hyper-complex arrangements so YMMV
