PREVIOUS THREAD:
I listened what anons didn't like the last time and I changed it. Some sounds are still placeholders and I'm kinda struggling with mix (as always).

clyp.it/wlfu0cva

how to get resident advisor best new music?

clyp.it/kxpts3tq
wondering if the mix sounds right

enjoyed, thanks for sharing

Nice gear if you know what I mean

>mfw someone calls FL shit near me

>not making epic wubwubs in your moms basement

sounds inspirational

mix sounds clean, nice song.


>tfw I tried to make a depressive song and Instead I ended up with this shit

>clyp.it/ot32af14

How do I play the arpeggio with scales? It sounds like utter shit

Best audio interface for 3 grand?

Most people produce in rectangular rooms which are geometrically the worst. That's why everything sounds like shit. Take some acoustic courses and build proper production environments

sounds a bit like Miike Snow user. not really experienced enough to give technical feedback.

this theremin is goofballs go to hell

I'll wub wub your mom in her basement

Can I watch?

>theremin
HAHAHAH WTF, it's literally just a a slowed down vocal

why did you pan the guitar to the left, sounds weird because it's such a difference between the vocal and the guitar

ths is some special style

What drum vst/sample can produce big jazzy drum sounds? Trying to get drums as close as possible to the drums on BBNG's flashing lights.

Starts at about 1:30

I know I wont be able to get that close without a live drum set but I'm looking for the next closest thing.

Superior drummer?

So I've been recently listening back to the music that I was producing this time last year.

I'm definitely better at sound design and creating interesting, good sounding segments. My songwriting ability's still shit. I can get a four bar loop that I love, but coming up with new parts its so difficult for me.

I am able to finish the occasional song here or there, but its totally up to chance.

Any advice on flushing out great loops into full songs? (I produce flylo-esqu beats fyi)

nice satans trips
Can't say anything about your clip I don't know shit about that type of music
You think superior is better than the native instruments drums?

Listen to flylo. His songwriting structure isn't that complex. He basically has a loop and then adds/removes elements to create range and depth. I always create a loop with the maximum number of layers and then fade out tracks throughout the song. The session view in ableton is great for this which I think flyo said he uses.

Don't even know where that clip came from desu.

I haven't tried the native instruments ones so I don't know

clyp.it/x1ovpcqn

My first production guys. Would appreciate some feedback :)

>all those digits

>clyp.it/x1ovpcqn
wait rly???? this is my production
-god

and it is not first

>clyp.it/x1ovpcqn
those guitars are fucking garbage
same with the drums
You might have some compositional skill it's just hard to see with the poor quality sounds

what's the point of lying here?

u rly retarded man
trying to lying me that it's first??? rly??

and i sure u can proof that it's ur composition by login in clyp it account and give me the screen:)

>not being able to see compositional skills without good sounds

Something tells me you have no idea what you are talking about.

...

I was just trying to say something nice. Fine your composition is shit too.

check u link m8

What?

>soundcloud
Yeah, fuck off

>newfags

Have any of you guys tried mixing almost exclusively in mono. I heard Kendrick's engineer and some others swear by it.

i do it lol listen

Anyone watching the deadmau5 livestream from his studio? Why does this dude never show his screen...

there's so much value to mixing in mono/near mono. from many points of view in fact. i taught a class in surround sound for awhile and much to the chagrin of my students i focused on mono at the beginning. it makes everyone's work in surround better and more informed coming from the mono mentality as opposed to the completely banal/oversaturated/taken for granted stereo mentality.

Doesn't want you to see how he makes stuff would be my best guess. Some artist wont even show you what kind of gear they use.

any feedback is greatly appreciated
theres a fuck ton of automation going on, never done it so intricately and subtly before

clyp.it/1eux3kph

There are some videos on youtube of him producing tracks while showing his screen. Pretty lengthy ones too, like 3 or 4 hours.

deadmau5 sample!
sounds neat

very nice. I can hear the subtle details. good shiet

Shit, just noticed this thread.

I just posted this (), and was wondering if you guys could answer any of the questions?

if you want to make music, I would suggest first starting off and learning how to use a DAW and its functionality.

I very rarely use external MIDI controllers and whatnot in my productions.

What if I want to learn the MPC, and not just music production on PCs...

don't get ahead of yourself though

So you're saying you can't get into MPCs without first getting into production with a DAW?

yo, that's top notch all around

[clyp.it link]
Haha yo feedback please, man i just downloaded albeton haha wat you think dog
>shit trap 808s sample pack with Mario samples

would appreciate some feedback on this, finished the little sample I uploaded before.

Also my soundcard/audio socket is rekt on my pc, so it starts clipping at -5db on the master.

clyp.it/moyo53zw

This is fucking sick. How long you been producing for?

thanks man
been producing since 2010
self-taught on youtube tutorials

there's way too much flutter, i'm not sure what the technical term for it is.
but it sounds alright with that aside.

clyp.it/seu0vjrp

Can someone please explain how to make good hats?

Volume automation of the chords? during the drop? Personally, I think it adds flavour, thanks for your input though :) Are we talking about that same thing

pick better samples, EQ more, mess around with attack/release/velocity, light reverb

This vid is probably the best explanation for making great hats!

youtube.com/watch?v=X_PHmIS7LI8

Enjoy!

>tfw had a real nice jam going but ran my tape way too hot so now it sounds like shit

Are these hats really that shit? I thought they fit the song fine.

wow dope $ire as beat nigga yeh i be smokin crack rappin about havin a fap while i'm getting those hats, thanks, but I don't even need ur congrats

Anyone know how to sync up synthesizers and drum machines?

thoughts on this madlib/dilla style beat i been working on?

>Soundcloud thread is leaking here again

clyp.it/m0hq4ykh

Alright I slept and then woke up and listened to the original version and realized it was shit.
So took some of the annoying elements out, swapped the synth for a bell.

I don't know what genre it is anymore, I want to say it was trap but i feel another genre would fit it's description better.

What do you guys think?

>
> (You)

What?

Also, does anybody here actually use an MPC?

whats the best acoustic drum vst?

slice drums out of breaks from old songs

Superior drummer if you don't mind 20 gigs or more.

Would trip hop fit it better?

Serious question.
I just bought a Scarlett 2i2 and I've been trying for the past few hours to get the plug ins it comes with into ableton. It keeps saying I don't have a license for the pack that the scarlett comes with when I try to use the plug ins, but I do, and I authorized it and activated it and all that business. Has this happened to anyone else with these plug ins? I've already contacted iLok and Softube. its some fucking bs issue or so

I got it too and never figured out how to get these plugins.

p chill but work on your mastering/equalizing

Im sorry user:( im hoping atleast one of the support teams knows whats up

Post your studio/place where you make music
I want to see how professional this thread is

i'm about gear not software

What are some good genres to dig through for hip hop samples? I've been digging through old jazz and soul type of shit for hours and can't find alot

old pitcher is old

What are some good free step sequencer VSTs?Going from FL to Reaper is pretty good so far but, the lack of step sequencer is pretty depressing.

Name your files descriptively, guys.

Helped a ton, thanks.

Also that.
But also to help with identifying the important stuff, don't name it snare.wav

check your salvage dunk?

youtube.com/watch?v=1n2nlcSKFx8

Does anyone knows the bass used in this song Please?

How come when I record the frequency in my clip using an analog synth it doesn't draw the curves in arrangement view?

ackchully not an issue with my generation/model. the vxt series is really blaoted. also, bass response depends entirely on the room and in their current place it's not an issue (in fact I even have the s10 subwoofer and it's not outta hand). but yeah they're not the best monitors in the world but i do fine with them. we can't afford everything we want goodfriend.

i-i can share user

>salvage dunk
The what?
Wait, I got it. It's in the debug log.
Not sure if that's what you meant, but thanks.

not him but do whatever works best. I got the MPC2kxl and it's a beast but I kinda wish I had gotten a cheaper pad controller and used a DAW/free vsts instead so I'd have more money for other gear.

What's a decent midi controller that isn't too expensive? I was thinking of getting the MPK25 but isn't that only mono?

>MONO midi
here we go again

Always buy used, at least that's my rule ~$15k into this "hobby" else I would've spent 20+. Seriously, so much gear is better to get used and I've never been burnt for it.

Go play the cheapo keyboards at your local music store and pick one up used that suites your playing best. If you're really trying to avoid VSTs and ITB sounds in general, than a good workstation type thing like a Yamaha Motif would be a great pick.

is it really that bad? I've asked about it before and everyone said to avoid it but I just need a cheapy controller that isnt total shit

Halp

...

Give me the best songs you have that use preprogrammed/digital drums instead of physical ones. Either something like Loveless where they mostly sound pretty convincingly real, or something where they get weird with it. Mine sound fake/cheesy as shit when I try and play over them and I want to hear some songs that do it right.

I'm sure someone who records live drums can help me here:

how do I get lcd soundsystem sounding drums? Do I need stereo overheads or just one?

post example pls

clyp.it/obh31h2g

I can't quite put my finger on what sounds so off, might have overdone it with the reverb and layers maybe

My friend is pissed off at me currently because I was completely blunt about their rhyme and tone in their first rap track sounding like someone with down syndrome (almost as if it were a parody.)

Am I so wrong for offering criticism of something that I will ultimately mix for free? I guess if you're gonna use your friend for free mixing hours on their Sunday, don't be mad if they say it's shit.

>dope
>sick beat
>vibin to this one

yeah, no. better be honest

Just started, using dining table in corner of my kitchen for now

i'd rather not, it's literally just a pc with a monitor with some speakers on a shelf next to it
looks fucking pathetic

>Where in the world is the bass?

Are you deaf or just bad speakers?

any questions?

Grew up doing FOH and engineering. I only make electronic genres / nu-jazz myself.

I'm short $2k on upgrading the CODE, patreon my ass family

at least you're being honest, simple loops that I didn't bother to mess a lot with but yeah I'll build on those - although, as said, not sure about the criticism on bass

This is based af desu. I'd rather not show it because I don't even have speakers yet and just use (great) headphones. But TL;DW, I have a yamaha pianino on my left side and just a single 1080p monitor so nothing special, but it is pretty comfy corner already.

Cymbals sound really tacked onto the mix.

Patricians use Omnisphere or Neon

Desk with spaghetti wires but I also just use a FL mostly.

My criticism had more to do with the fact that most music is consumed on earbuds / laptops and "where is the bass" is completely valid when your low-mids have a gaping hole. You could easily saturate or layer in that area to bring out the bass for 90% of your listeners :)

>drawmer 1960

the tube comp is great for sta-level type leveling on the way in. They say it's "fairchild" like, but I use other comps for busses/instruments

Hi guys, m8 at home is a reasonably competent drummer with an electronic drum kit, was thinking live mapped percussion elements around a sequence fixed kick say would be a good way to liven up a track, thoughts?

Volca sample

Its samples of Colm's drums so it's sort of fake but sort of real

Aha, neat. My dad has a drumkit, I should really get around to doing a tune with it

0:17 to 0:42 and 2.06 onwards are hilarious.

I hope that's in a good way...

>tfw equipment doesnt buy you talent

do multi-tier stands for smaller synths exist?

where did you learn the basics to ableton? A lot of the stuff in the sticky seems to be for FL

do you use eurorack modules without a case?
Also what's the name of that 4x4 knob box again?

What has you excited for the TR-09 when there are 1:1 909 clones like the Nava that can be had for cheap?

it dont, it just buys ease of use, and on occasion, unparalleled sound

Just stfu and check my trips cunt

Do you guys listen to your own music?

No I make it on mute

You don't have to talk when you make music.

I've made two tracks I've ever listened to for casual listening, one somehow made it on a stoner radio show too. Otherwise I make songs I want to hear that day, and then I try another style.

Thoughts on the Akai MPK Mini MKII??

2 octaves is too little

I normally use 909 samples in ableton anyway, and i've actually been trying to figure out a dedicated drum rack midi controller solution that would operate much like a tr-8 but smaller... the tr-09 solves that for me at a low buy in.

i would love a nava, but building it is a project in itself.

that's a make noise skiff/case, with those 3d printed angled feet that guy on ebay sells for a bunch of cases.

the 4x4 is a midi fighter twister, highly reccomend

That wasn't even feed back.

Just report soundcloud links for spam and stfu about it

the wire clutter is surprisingly inviting

It's annoyingly difficult to acquire short wires for some reason. I always ask for the shortest but the shortest minijack > double big jack is like 3.5 meters.

breaking /prod/ rules isnt a reportable offense

dude man its music and its a music board man lol

>the shortest minijack > double big jack is like 3.5 meters.
At that specific store, that is, lol.
Maybe I should get into making my own cables like user in the previous thread.

Then post in the appropriate threads then holy fuck, read the fucking OP.

Thing is every shitty amateur musician like myself is looking to promote his crap for those sweet soundcloud likes, if you allow this /prod/ will get spammed to death in no time.

Fuck off retard, go shill your shitty beats somewhere else

do they have to be stereo? you could use patch cables... get get really short

Yes I should probably get a bunch of patch cables, thing is I need splitters and big/small converters and shit. I might invest in some high quality converters too, I have some but they are shit.

i can;t do pad synths for the life of me, so for the most part i just don't use them but eventually i'll get it. i know it sounds dumb but anyone else have these problems?

yeah loads, e.g. I'm really shit at adding drums to an already existing track so I will just leave them out

yeah drums took me a while. but now i am half way decent at it, what i liked to do was listen to my fav tracks and try and replicate them and eventually i finally learned my own programming. it was a defining moment in my life

Boring cookie cutter nerd garbage, kill yourself you subhuman shit

i can get good drums and pads almost every time. I just struggle with leads and complex bass lines.

i have a $25 amazon gift card and i need a new amp that takes speakerwire
what's my best bet?

you got a clypit to back up that shitposting?

>complex bass lines
Just do some octave jumping wankery. Mostly I find basslines should be simple, though.

clyp.it/0dpm0yzc

anyone have a list of common swing settings for specific genres?

are you actualy gay, or are you just leading me on lemanon-kun~

pic related works pretty well for "swing"

Can someone explain routing in ableton like I'm some retarded child?

All the videos I've watched are confusing as fuck

routing what? the i/o section seems pretty self explanatory

septuplet swing for wonky j dilla/madlid type stuff

Like what does it do ? Can you explain?

it selects the inputs or outputs for audio or midi

like if you wanted to resample something you'd make an audio track and set the input to the track you wanted to resample. or you could send a track out to another audio track for processing. for midi, you can have a blank midi track with a chord vst or an arp vst or whatever so it'll record the output instead of the single notes you press

Try using a lower bass that doesn't blend with your melody so much, and generally try to get the drums and bassline more interesting and blended

i/o button the right of screen, hit it

Example 1:
>Create new audio track
>Click audio input source drop down menu
>Choose the output of another track
Use this as a means of taking the audio from one track and duplicating it onto another track for alternate processing/layering.

Example 2:
>Create new audio track
>On several other tracks, click audio output drop down menus
>Choose the new track as the output location for all of them
This gives you the ability to process multiple tracks together as one. Think like having all drums going to one track, or all the bass, etc.

Has anyone here made any money off their production?

>tfw no one replied to my WIP

I guess it was too edgy after all.

it buys you fun though programming midi drums is tedious

only the ones other people pretend they made ; - )

hey bros should i jerk off to xosar or nina kraviz?

yeah, about $15 a month lol

xosar. but only pictures where danny's stood in the back looking at the camera.

>click audio input source

Where is that exactly ? is it the "Ext.in" button?

Off an EP or track or what?

Fuck I'm late but

Perfect. Thanks!

This is really cool. At least at the beginning. After that it's cool too but it leans a little towards DnB which isn't what I'm going for. I love a lot of the IDM Warp acts (Flylo, Aphex Twin, Squarepusher) but idk much about the non-electronic groups on that label outside of Battles. Who else do you like?

Yeah, the drummer was absent for family illness or something for most of the sessions so Kevin just cut up samples and used them for everything. I think Only Shallow and Touched are the only songs with actual drumming. Works pretty brilliantly for most of the album, I think.

"ext in" is one of the choices in the input menu. it means the inputs of whatever interface/soundcard you're using

royalties from old dj mixes released on other labels

So pretty much what it does is it makes it sound more fuller ? and it can be routed using multiple tracks into the one that's processing it ?

Once it's doing the layering or whatever can anything else be added to it or is that all and can be left alone once it's doing the job?

Ahh sweet

>So pretty much what it does is it makes it sound more fuller ?
if you routed a track into another track and it's playing out of both then it'll be louder, which i guess could be making you think it sounds fuller?
>and it can be routed using multiple tracks into the one that's processing it ?
correct
>Once it's doing the layering or whatever can anything else be added to it or is that all and can be left alone once it's doing the job?
not entirely sure what you're asking in this part

ext in is for recording a mic or guitar or whatever else you can connect to your interface

The audio track that is doing the processing, is that all it does or can I do more things to it ?

track routing shouldn't be used to boost volume levels.

if you're routing for parallel processing then your parallel track should probably end up sounding fairly different to the original.

if you're routing to bus tracks together (e.g. a drum bus) it's normally done for coherence and convenience.

using it as a volume knob is a waste of time.

routing for processing purposes is often referred to as Bussing or Aux Sends, where a single audio track is the sum of several other audio tracks.

This video explains some basic principles in protools, but this idea is used in all daws for any genre. youtube.com/watch?v=ranVw1E7tb4

wat u guys think of flume?

>clyp.it/b1p1ro4j

tryna make some sadboy shit...idk, what do you guys think? trash like always?

p skilled

This one? I can't click on it for some reason... maybe becuase I'm on the trial version?

I was gonna suggest this too

Studio One

>all of those are pleb

p skilled?

i cant get into this

SONAR

prob sounds like hot shit

It's tough at first, I haven't spent much time and am still only making basic ADSR virtual analog synths and random mish mosh effects. But you have God level control over parameters. If you're a software engineer it's a million times easier. Input -> Output that's all there is.

>replied to wrong post

COOL FREE RINGTONES reporting for duty

holy fucking shit

>dust everywhere

gross

clean your fucking keyboards and get something to hang those cables on, you filthy swine

post em

noob here what am i looking at and how much will it run me?

a large 5u modular system and various assorted vintage synths and toys

oi flume it's the guy from before who sampled you, check this out, I haven't been on /prod/ lately because I've been working full time. Any mixing/mastering tips would be greatly appreciated, as my soundcard/audio sockets are rekt and start clipping at -5db on the master

Homemade synths look expensive and confusing as fuck

synthesizers.com modular, about 12k worth
korg electribe, somewhere in the $300 range
pointless DX7 reissue, $500
roland JX-3P, ~$500
nord lead 4, fancy new digital synth $2300
DX7, $200ish
Mashine studio, fucking googe it goddamn

it's not pointless and it's not at all a dx7

the reface dx has a nice interface for editing FM patches in real time. The best I've ever seen on any FM interface ever. And it's only 4 op so it's less beefy than the dx7

this DX7 has the Grey Matter E! expansion and a massive amount of memory so it'd probably go for more like $800 since it's in perfect condition

actually 800 is a little silly, more like 600

I wouldn't pay 600 for a DX7, even with grey matter

BIG HOY ME NOY NOY YEEEEE

thats what i mean about it i have no experience whatsoever in software engineering and it is way over my head

i do enjoy using dank max devices other people have made though there is lots of good ones

I like it.

Oh cool I'll check it. Haven't been on in a while either been way too busy. Hope you're still here.

Jelly poorfags reporting in, I see

How that maschine?

Do you regret getting the white Maschine Studio? I have one too and, sometimes, the black ones look way cooler

yeah I am, I have to leave in like 2 hours though, but I'm free to talk before then.

i just use a towel and put it over my shit when i dont use it so it doesnt get dusty

it's alright. There's some things you can only really do with a DAW and I don't like DAWs. The Maschine software can load VSTs and do most things you need a DAW for and it's useful for managing midi. If I had it to do over again I'd get one of the cheaper maschines because the Studio is too big and has too much shit on it for what I do

Really makes you think

And what awesome experimental groundbreaking music have you made

>nothing

A pro could make a classic with a stick and a mic

it's still trap man

main thing i don't like about your song is that it is very repetitive, there is not enough difference between each phrase of your song and just in general the song structure is pretty random.

#triggered

Made a distorted version of this clyp.it/fujg5wza , clyp.it/js0j5pyq

and made this
clyp.it/huubatyu

Criticism is nice

there's nothing wrong with that. I make music for me, not for anyone else. I sit down for an evening and I make loops and phrases and sometimes songs and nobody hears them but me.

This weekend I added 12 additional CV outputs to my Minibrute and patched them to this d-sub 25 port. Next weekend I will make a 1/4" TS breakout box

this must be bait

Lol shut the fuck up

What """"'music""""" have you made?

if i quit drinking alcohol and smoking weed i would be able to afford that gear in a year or 2 desu its nothing to get jealous over

>drinking alcohol
>smoking weed

Loser detected

yeah people forget most VSTs cost as much as a cheap mono synth or effects box

yes, everyone looks up to the people like you (is what you probably tell yourself)

Same thing happened to me. Never resolved it.

Get outta here, you junkie. You aren't making any sense

that wasnt even me faggot

i smoke and drink because i like to i dont care what some sperg on Cred Forums thinks about it

You smoke and drink because you are an addict

Get some help, man. It will only get worse

s-stop doing things i dont like

What is post FX and what is Pre fx?

Some of the most successful producers smoke and drink. It must be the key to success.

u gotta be shittin me

Some people are new I guess

And the most successful producers and musicians don't smoke OR drink

Must be the key to success

like who?

Zappa, Nugent, Morrissey, Angus Young
