I've been have a spate of bad luck lately with small developers. The screwed over the Mac Heist community a few years ago and were pretty unapologetic about it. Wonder how much they're going to want for it? Oh, and the other thing, is that it appears they have a new version of SD in the pipeline. Of course, they've locked the SD forums too! Not surprisingly, though, since they denied the problem for quite some time to customers. Should you do a web search once you find out that SD doesn't work, you won't find the results of questions and complaints on their forums, because they've gone through and deleted all of them.
In fact, the problem applies to most sites. They acknowledge it at the bottom of a single post (dated 2009 and intermittently updated) in the forums, which says that the problem applies to only a few sites. However, if you go to their site, there is no acknowledgement of this. It has never worked well with "cyberlockers" and their customer service is dismal. Keep practicing and playing until you find something that clicks into place.I'd recommend staying away from Speed Download at the moment.

There’s a lot of trial and error when you’re writing music, so don’t get discouraged if you have trouble coming up with something right away. Many times in IDM, you’ll keep the notes of the melody the same for the entire song with minor variations to the notes here and there. #IDM FOR MAC REDDIT SOFTWARE#
Once you find a melody, try playing it through different software instruments throughout the song to add variety. #IDM FOR MAC REDDIT HOW TO#
Listen to "Emerald Rush" by Jon Hopkins to get ideas of how to balance a light melody with harsher background tones.
Since the drums and bass usually have a heavier sound, try to keep your melody light. Play the beat and chords in the background so you can try out different tempos and arrangements for your melody to see what fits the best. Use the notes from your chords when you’re making your melody so the sounds don’t clash or sound out of tune. Make a new software instrument track in your project for your melody. Think about the mood you want to capture with your IDM music and try out a few of the virtual piano and synth leads to see what sounds the best to you. For example, you may keep the same chords but change the instrument halfway through the song.Įxperiment with different synthesizer or piano lines for the main melody. 
Most IDM songs use the same chords and loops throughout the entire track with minor variations. Look for a menu labeled "Plug-Ins" on your DAW to see if there’s one available. Some DAWs have plug-ins that help you pick chord progressions for your music. If you’re using a MIDI keyboard, you can press the Record button and play the chords live. If you want something that sounds more ominous or sad, pick a minor chord progression instead. If you want to make music that has a lighter, happier feeling, choose a major progression for your chords. Make a separate track for the instrument you chose and drop the notes into the project. Try out different piano and synthesizer software instruments to find the sounds that you like the most and fit the mood you’re trying to capture in your music. Since IDM is an experimental genre, there aren’t any standard chords for each song. Make chords with piano or synthesizer pads as backing noise.
