Woah, this is cool! I'm currently working on it so thanks for the idea on the percussion, I just have a simple loop as a placeholder, but damn, does this sound better than mine already...
>you will never be successful
I really need to know why do you think that. Is it because I'm bad (and why) or because I can't apply myself and give up too quickly (which is often true)?
Yes, one day I finally just 'got it' and finished a song with multiple themes and combinations between them, scale modulation in the middle, nice chord progression, coherent sounds/effects. And like some user once said, just finish every song you do even if it's shit, or else you will never learn it.

I can't find good hard rock/metal kicks in the Addictive drums 2. Fuck me, recommend me something please.
Jack Barnes
for meatl and rock drums live drums are so much better sounding that you could find a drummer to do the whole part before you could get on to record samples for you.
Asher Rogers
You know what it is, but you don't know how it helps you, that makes me think.
Put some 808s from Certified Trvp Pvck 2016™ after a short intro full of shoutouts and your soundcloud name that you recorded your mother saying with constant 64th-note hi-hats and same certified trap snare around. Don't forget two note "melody" that has a minor second interval to get that late night trap vibe u kno im sayin gragra gang BOP BOP SQUAAAAA Now you can get a bit more creative and put some Nintendo sounds around to get some fans from the soundcloud thread. After this download a picture from a tumblr a google some glitch app, use this as your soundcloud picture. #trap #banger #bape Name it after some designer stuff that you saw your favorite meme rapper blindly wearing because his idols do for some reason.

Jackson Phillips
Glad you actually got to hear it, even though the old thread died. I could render out some loops if want to use them or have a closer look at it
Brody Gonzalez
No problem, I don't want to copy yours but those different drums gave me a bunch of new ideas of the overall feel of the piece so thanks for that. I'm just trying to figure out how to get similar sounding kicks and snares because I only have electronic VEE packs and Addictive drums 2, but they are all so weak.
This was me Are those samples or live recordings? If samples, how many layers did you use?
Only used samples and kontakt libs since I can't play a single instrument. Drums are mostly from heavyocity damage and a few others which are part of the komplete collection
Isaac Wilson
Thank you man. I'll have to check out heavyocity. You did a great percussion, I'm just trying to figure out what is happening there, definitely my weakest spot.

layers everything to get a unique drum hit
Brody Morales
I produce a sample by taking a sample then record delay and record that audio to a new track then put a sampler then use that new sample to play in different keys on the sampler
then do the same thing , re-sampling audio to the point where you create original audio that is impossible to know what sample that it came from

What is the one thing you've learned about production that has most improved your music?
for me it's finding/making sounds that fit perfectly instead of layering/using many effects to achieve a sound
Jonathan Cox
It does polyphonic chords, euclidean scales & rhythms, can sequence 64 tracks simultaneously.
Just ordered mine! Cassettes will have to wait until January
Record a bunch of takes, comp them together. Although I come from a live jamming background and play a few instruments.
If something isn't working, just delete it and record something else. Don't force anything.

Elijah Flores
u mean the layering thing?
Lucas Garcia
Yeah, I even watched many "making of" videos and looked through projects and it just can't get into my head completely that I have to spend more time searching for a right sample. But sometimes using effects is the only way though.
for me, it's easier if I start with really simple sounding instruments (basic pad, basic bass, basic lead, basic drums, etc) while coming up with the overall composition/beat. Then once I have a good musical or rhythmic foundation, it's easier for me to find the right sound.

you realize 4/4 is in reference to the time signature for a song, right? not exclusively a drum beat...
Aiden Ortiz
yeah and in this case i'm talking exactly about the drum beat
Gavin Wood
Any of you tried Splice's sample subscription service?
Any good? $8/month seems alright if they've got a boatload of samples
Henry Hughes
yeah, that's not a time signature change at all. thats just a different drum beat.
I assume you just mean you want a break beat instead of a typical "4 on the floor" house beat.
Kevin Bennett
i m going to fucking GOOGLE it thanks man for yor correction
Bentley Hernandez
just don't always put your kick on the 1 2 3 4 in the grid. Maybe leave a kick on the 1, 3.25 and 3.75. And accent 2 and 4 with a snare/snap/clap.

I'd like to get into more musical song writing. What is a good way to begin taking ideas from these jams and instead work them into fully formed songs?
Logan Fisher
Hello guys, maybe somebody of you is able to help me. I use a Tascam IUR2 interface for homerecodring and i always get some kind of repeating noise when recording with anything else then adobe audition. (example: vocaroo.com/i/s1dulRdxFOro)
Had the same problem with different mics and different laptops. If using adobe audition, this noise isnt on the recording, but can be heared when listening to the track in audition while the interface is connected. if disconnected, the noise goes away.
anybody know what this is or how to fix

damn sushi tastes good.. anywayis here´s what i´m doing atm, it´s supposed to be dance / edm
did i fuck this up or does anything on the track actually work? i wanna appeal to slutty hot rave girls
Does anyone remember that website where you could upload audio to it and it would record it playing inside a big reverb chamber or silo thing and then you could download it and it was all free? I think it even had pulleys automated by controls on the website. That was the shiznit
Every time after I work on something for more than 2 hours I realize that I'm actually not that bad, just lazy as fuck and think I can make something good in a super short time... Feels good to not be so salty for a change and actually like what I'm producing.
Robert Richardson

Michael Cruz
Is convolution just bursts of white noise played in spaces and then imprinted over your sound?
Nolan Taylor
I don't know about white noise but sine wave, gun shot from what I know and from that you get an impulse that copies the reverb of the place where it was recorded.
Anthony Nelson
Could you download rifle shooting videos, convert to wav and get convolution from that?
Hunter Barnes
tfw you want to collabo and make some wierd, cool tunes but the only people that will collabo are normies make basic ass beats :(

Jace Lopez
convolution is just simple math, you can convolute everything with everything if you don't mind unforseeable results: www.youtube.com/watch?v=FE5SKynR8QE
to create something that sounds like reverb you actually need generate (close to) full range impulses and carefully planned mic positions and so on, though
Nicholas Thomas
-2x lsr 305 -2x speaker stand -rockwool, wood and stage curtain fabric to fill corners and make first reflection spot absorbers can be done with like $600 in total
Kevin Moore
Is there any difference between convolution plugins in how they use the impulses? I have waves IR but it's quite old.
Benjamin Richardson
Posted this elsewhere, figured I'd post it here too
I want to be able to plug all my instruments (keyboards, piano, guitar, etc) into the same speakers. To do this I'm thinking about just getting a mixer like pic related
My question is, would I be better off spending a little more and getting something with eq and stuff? I'm not really sure if I'd need it, but are the extra bells and whistles worth another $20-30?
Also if there are any other better options, let me know
Ryan Davis
any daw can do that tho that is what automation lines are for
Nathaniel Long
there's some differences in the engines saving performance by downsampling for low latency live usage (I think there's a wave IR live or something like that) and some have the possibility to use 'true stereo' 4 channel impulses so you have the actual representation of a stage or what ever sampled in your panned input but mostly it's about the features like included pre/post eq-ing and envelope shaping of your impulse and so on, the actual convolution itself is very similar throughout most plugins since it's such a simple task
Leo Peterson
then fucking collab with normies, it´s better than nothing. your weirdos wanna work with pros and you dont get there without practise
Jordan Martin
let's hear some music then. I'm always open for collaboration with talent, not someone who thinks they have it.
Jace Torres
Yeah but in FL you can just click the note and change it to portamento/slide instead, or automate it which is sounds retarded desu.
Bentley Allen
I would say try to find a mixer with more channels than you have an immediate need for. Room for expansion.
Adrian Jenkins
I just can't get over pic related. >so. fucking. cluttered. No group tracks, folders, fx tracks, no track names, automation fucking everywhere... it's just an atrocious piece of software.
FL has proven to itself it was never meant for projects as large as pic related, it was made for the nigger.
Benjamin Powell
man i just tried rifle videos for convolution and it sounds really sick
Lucas Miller
automate is smooth transfer of any sample effect from point A to B during time that you set up. you cant work with that? it´s not the program that is retarded, you are.
Luis Fisher
that will do the trick. But if you've got all of those instruments playing together, you'll want to spend the extra for EQ/faders. they will help you fix clashing frequencies
Brody Wood
More than half of that can be dropped in to a pattern that occupies one track instead. You could replicate that in Ableton the only difference would be the automations. You have no clue, enjoy your tunnel vision
Angel Long
Good adv I suppose, friendo. I shall give it a shot
Nathaniel Stewart
sup /prod/ i havent been doing shit for music these past few months.

>this triggered because someone pointed out stuff that is his "supreme" DAW lacking Wait a few years, Ableton might be even able to automate stereo/mono by that time
posting my cutesy tunes again, this time I added a chorus and altered some of the synths. again it's a placeholder ending.
How should I go about adding more energy into the track? I just feel that the chorus isn't hard hitting enough. Is it through mastering? I could add more instruments but I feel that would muddy the sound..

You probably just don't know what he's saying. Like he's speaking in technical terms, and you probably tell your friends, "And this synth, I made myself by tweaking a bunch of knobs. It was crazy." I've been using FL Studio for one year, and I've made Hip-Hop, Trance, Ambience, Western (like cowboy stuff), R&B, trance-hop, trip-hop, psy-hop, Dubstep, EDM, House, Latin, Video Game, Classical, Pop, Trap, and Old School Hip-Hop. I already know how to sample, sound engineer, mix and master within the program. And I start my first day of music college in April of 2017. I have a creative mind with no musical education background.
Joshua Perez

I don't really care about the knobs actually, I was more interested in using the drum pads too alongside the keys, but I'll consider getting one with more keys too, thanks
Joseph Sanchez
Yep. I think it had a limited run, and unfortunately used mp3 only.
A similar site where u upload a .mid and its fed to x y z $$$$ synths w/ midi retrofits would be beast.
Daniel Bennett
notice how he's only sending midi out from FL and not using it for ANYTHING ELSE.
Brayden Cruz
Try the pads in a store, make sure they arent too rigid or shitty. I made thia mistake w/ my akai mpk61. Pads are trash.
Also, don't listen to the knob haters. I use the knobs (but moreso, faders) all the time on my MPK. I have various presets that map to the midi cc values for diff. Orchestral kontakt instruments. Works great.
Even more useful, midi expression pedals. Like having an extra mod wheel under your desk. Buy a quality one, underfoot, they suffer abuse.
Kayden Sullivan
The workflows between ableton and fl may be different but that doesn't mean the music produced should be any worse with one or the other. Plugins are universal anyway...
Justin Murphy
DAW does not matter whatsoever.
Although FL is certainly a gimped daw. Open up fruity compressor and try manually entering a value. It only takes floating point values....
Caleb Adams
I have the akai mpk 249 it has great pads and keys. I'm a piano player and I'm very satisfied.
thing is i'm kinda tight on budget and I can only afford getting something with less keys but more options coming with it or get a less expensive 49 keys and something like a korg nanopad 2 or an akai lpd 8
Adrian Bailey
Its just fun to trigger disableton users Hold both mouse buttons and precise slide it. Can you do that are you disAbled?

Good news today if you use EastWest/Quantum Leap virtual instruments. PLAY 5 was just released today with a lot of performance improvements, and SSL/EW FX Global Suite now comes with all libraries and ComposerCloud.
I'm not even invested in DAW wars since it's ridiculous to do so, and you spew name calling which makes it even more moot.
You cannot enter specific dB values into FL stock plugins.. The fruity limiter is a great example, try setting the ceiling to -1dB :-)
see how hard that was. Now while you're fiddling with fruity tunes trying to enter basic values, I just got another friend to use studio one. Cannot wait to collab with em, unhindered, to be honest.
Andrew White
You can set the pitch knob range to WAY higher (like 2 octaves), there should be a display right next to it.
Jaxson Stewart
I don't know, it would be nice for sure. FL has event shit but for some reason it's not with curves/control points but with literal pixel rows, completely fucking useless.
Austin Cox
ITT: FL users not being able to handle getting roasted aptly for their meme of a software
Been on probatioin for almost a year so no getting high for me. Which is a blessing and a curse. Ive been more focused on the learning aspect of it but fuck it if all my tracks dont sound derivative as hell.

Xavier Howard

Dominic Jenkins
I set the ceiling to -1dB and it wasn't hard
John Williams
>I am so glad I can set my ceiling to 1.0000000000000154875 that totally hits the spot
Andrew Flores
who is the most overrated producer?
Kevin Peterson
I wish depression didn't get in the way of my producing. Who else knows this feel?
>Create a track with inline parallel processing where you can split 100hz and above for it's own processing, then on that stream split it again into Mid and Side channels so you're only affecting 100hz and above's side information, while processing 100hz and below to remove any side information, compressing the mid information.
a literal preset of mine I might add
Fruity Tunes in 2016..
Jeremiah Sullivan
I feel like it would just need a more straightforward drum pattern in the chorus to make it feel more intense, otherwise this is tight
good 80s vibe, keep it up
I like this, it kinda reminds me of zelda oot for some reason
here's something I probably won't finish but pls rate anyway
post a clyp faggot and we'll see how fl is treating you
Nolan Gray
I bet you can mate, you'd only need about 6 tracks and a custom chain on each channel to pull it off.
I am genuinely trying to help you move on to better things so you can stop fucking around with tech stuff. Creating that chain takes maybe 20 seconds. Save it, use it forever. Maybe even bind macro knobs 1-8 to certain parts of my pictured chain for an on the fly M/S starter chain. Mind you, this all lives in one track's insert rack.
Any DAW worth your money should allow you to simply work, no fuss. Cheers
Jayden Taylor
i cant believe i paid for ableton
they leave shit out almost on purpose
the midi programming is fucking shit, you have you stop, right click and choose a new note length instead of just holding and dragging to make it longer
Ryder Peterson
just click the edge and drag it you fucking faggot
Hunter Powell
oh wait i just figured it out, you can just double click hold in the pointer mode
i guess the draw tool is more like the paint tool in cubase
Parker Morgan
How does Studio One compare to Reaper/Sonar
Adrian Robinson
Can we all agree that all of this shit you're all sperging out about is just nitpicking? Ableton is still behind the curve of the studio competitors and needs time to adjust. FL studio is not a studio competitor and never will be. End of story.
dont really know what im doing yet still reading a bunch of manuals and stuff
Logan Perry
The only reason I prefer FL Studio to anything else is because it's easy on the eyes and I can change the background to something that'll keep me focused on the feel I'm going for with a track.
Christopher Martin
>bitching about ableton features without fucking understanding anything about ableton for why tho?
John Flores
Ableton is the most popular and best daw. Get over it faggot.
Jayden Thomas
I used Reaper for a couple years after ditching FL when I was a weebabe. I think it's neat but it leaves a lot to be desired for a heavy ITB electronic musician. Sonar is pretty neat, never tried it.
>To anyone still on the DAW wars debacle. Download anything interesting, demo it, buy the one you like. I also rewire Bitwig for weird clip launch / infinite routing fun for example
Adam Ross
since you know so much how do you get mono tracks in ableton then
I can't get soundtoys plugs to activate L/R offset because every track is stereo and utility doesn't work
Thomas Garcia
use the utility feature
Eli Gray
just looked it up its a known issue, utility doesnt work
Jordan Bennett
set width to 0 it def works
Ian Gomez
What cheapish audio interface do you guys recommend?
Kevin Stewart
Anyone have any input to the seaboard? I want to get it soon but would appreciate some opinion on this gear.
Liam Ward
doesn't

Logic master race reporting in
Inb4 crappie and muh live performances
Enjoy not using amazing synths and having awesome mixes
John Howard
I guess izotope imager lied to me then.
Hudson Bennett
unbeleivably overpriced hipster trash. But a regular midi keyboard and move on with your life
Leo Robinson
this is the most recent thing i've recorded. please someone use it.
Why does logic have better mixes? Genuinely curious
Joseph Ortiz
Logic and Kontakt are the union of ultimate victory.
Andrew Harris
the most spooky tune in mankinds existance please dont listen to this
Jaxon Gomez
thank you user, i forgot to warn people
Cooper Mitchell
It has to do with the audio engines. Abletons is geared towards a more on the go quicker one to deal with live performances and logic has a more studio focused one.
Lucas Richardson
because it looks all silver and shit and that makes people think it sounds better
the L/R offset like for filterfreak, where you have two different cutoffs for L/R - doesnt work in ableton. you have to create an effect rack and make two which is a hassle
Leo Bennett
Try to learn about warping and high ends before you talk again
Christian Rogers
teach me
Carson Watson
then what do you recommend for the same price?
Jacob Green
Not that guy, but am Logic guy. I dunno about superior mixes, but it does have a solid suite of mixing tools and synths out of the box. Hell, I still use the ES2 (which is old as fuck) for most basic synthesis missions.
I have long since dumped logic's ESX24 (a capable, but outdated sampler) for kontakt, and am not looking back.
Really though, the answer to all of these stupid DAW arguments is: they are all quite good, today. And once you settle on one, and learn it, the only thing missing will be YOUR SKILL LEVEL.
Joshua Miller
Shut the fuck up, Ableton is best and THE MOST popular DAW.
Now how do I make my track mono?
Cameron Brooks
what is the your #1 tip to get better mixes?
Isaac Taylor
>not using aux sends for independent L/R processing
it's like you seriously don't know anything about mix engineering
David Hernandez
>YOUR SKILL LEVEL
no you need shaman crystal imbued audio cables
David Jenkins
Mix it, buy Logic, mix it again.
Ian Myers
think of it as a story being told, with different characters interacting and influencing one another, with a plot that ends and has some kind of a resolution. whether it goes from A to B, or A through B and back to A again. not all the characters have to make it ;_;
Hunter Powell
its like you dont know anything about not being a faggot fanboy lol
why should have to create multiple instances and eat up CPU? and the manual says that using the mix knob on an insert creates less phase problems than using it on a send
but seriously why doesn't ableton have an easy to access mono?
Lucas Johnson
that's one shitty manual for sure
Zachary Baker
i will pirate it and then see
Joseph Myers
Isn't this the max4live thing? i didnt buy suite
Isaac Gutierrez
enjoy prison because logic cracks are tracked
Jacob Hughes
I don't use ableton, but my intuition would be that there is probably a plugin called utility that has a width setting or a mono function.
Aiden Turner
sure they are
Ryder Rodriguez
Doesn't Cubase have some seperated panner thing where you can set the pan of left and right independently on a stereo track? How do you do this in Ableton?
Carson Moore
>faggot fanboy I don't even use ableton, its mixing 101
>create multiple instances and eat up CPU lel, aux sends do the exact opposite of that
Isaiah Barnes
Shut the fuck up Ableton is THE BEST, why would you even need to stereo a track, faggot.
Justin Jenkins
are you refering to mid/side mix?
Liam Price
I just make shit like this. Suppose dto simukate a rainy night with the wind blowing and branches tapping on the window while something is beating at the door. clyp.it/kcgke3zd

Xavier Carter
It was something like this, saw someone use it years ago
Logan Wilson
that's binaural pan
Charles Barnes
what makes you think that?
Kayden Moore
are you the same really stupid guy every time posting this reaction? it's never attached toa smart post in here
Ryder Brooks
>Its just fun to trigger disableton users how would you know? you always fail at it
Nolan Harris
It's called dual pan.. Or binaural pan
here's a blurb from my dream mixer. One day..
Carter Gray
what exactly makes it binaural?
Ryder Allen
nigga.
Bi = two. Aural = of sound
Noah Ward
binaural audio has already a definition, no need to make up another one
Bentley Moore
NEW THREAD is up. You can jump there already.
Samuel Walker
You have actual autism. Congrats.
Binaural panning. Not binaural "audio". Quitting this gen for the day
