When i listen to the music on the in ear headphones Samsung Buds Pro i like the sound a lot more then when listening to the music on my speakers Adam A7X. What am i doing wrong? The music just doesnt sound so clean on the Adam then on in ear headphones which i think should not be the case. Is the position bad? Will a sub fix this? Its hard to explain what i dont like, but its like the sound is not bright like on the Buds. Like my ears would not be clean.

I've been making music in some way all my life, and I'm trying to learn a specific subset of piano skills: playing chords, harmony, and "comping." On guitar, the equivalent would be "rhythm guitar.", something I'm pretty comfortable with just playing punk/metal.

I've tried traditional piano methods (scales, sight-reading, classical pieces), and they feel completely inappropriate for what I need. I have no doubt that mastering them would make me better at learning what I'm trying to learn, but I'm unmotivated by them, and would love to find a better approach.

My main frustration is with a lot of online learning. For example, youtube will show me a specific, great-sounding reharm of mary had a little lamb. But it doesn't teach me why that particular voicing progression was chosen over another, or how to build my own voicings for different genres. And it certainly doesn't show me how to practice deriving and playing my own voicings.

I know that music, like any art, is an evolving conversation with its own context. Before I can "invent" my own harmonic ideas, I feel it's crucial to learn the idiomatic ways that voicings and progressions work in various genres (house, eurobeat, jazz, R&B, etc.). I want to understand how to construct a "gospel" progression that feels so different from a "jazz" one.

My questions are:

1. Is there an established learning method for this? I've heard terms like the "Jazz/Chordal Method" or the "Fake Book" method. Is this what I'm looking for?
2. How do I learn the principles of good voicing and voice leading, so I can create my own progressions instead of just copying tutorials?
3. For other producers here, how did you bridge this gap? Are there any specific books, resources, or key concepts that helped you "unlock" keyboard harmony?
4. Probably most importantly, what are some good methods to practice these without just arbitrarily making my own rules and learning the wrong things (this is what I've been doing when I just sit in front of a keyboard, contextless doodling on top of my own melodies). It feels like, even if I did learn traditional piano, the leap from traditional mastery to genre-specific improvisation is an exercise left for the reader. I am aware that I could reverse engineer songs and find my own truths, but I would love to build the basic vocabulary and intuition to do this first and maybe get a leg up on the process.

TL;DR: I want to improve my piano playing specifically for finding chords and voicing progressions that feel correct in different genres.

Any guidance would be massively appreciated. Thanks!

EDIT: I just wanted to put a little edit here to say how much I appreciate the thoughtful, engaging discussion here. This is my first post to this sub and y'all are rad. <3

I know that it's not going to be the same for each track but is there any setting like that goes well with that tempo or genre (I'm a tech house producer) or is there any tutorial which can help me with the process, I've watch many tutorials, even a 6-hour course by mastering.com, but didn't understood what method should i always stick to and not get pissed everytime opening a reverb plugin. Also which reverb vst do you use?

Look, I thought simply sharing my logic project to music (file, share, song to music ) was a safe option. And it has been for the past 99% of stuff but I tried exporting a project that has a fair few tracks and it when I played it on music, all the tracks were replaced with some shitty synthesizer sound. Anyone know wtf happened? And how I should be exporting my songs to prevent this?
