looking for any feedback

kk i will hold up kek

Kek

is making your basses mono actually important or is it just preferential?

>this is how autists communicate

reminder that audionews has open registration, if you want to borrow VSTs, sample packs, tutorials or books now's your chance

Hard pan your bass left to get it just right

Fuck you and your self promotion, cock.

BASED user IS BASED

Finally, they weren't open (at least for me) in a September.

The age-old question:

For starting to make music,
I'm torn between fruity loops and logic.

What daw do you all recommend if I want to learn mixing, composition etc. on one DAW (for now)

Torrenting or goy?

the whole 'bass has to be mono' thing comes from the live show scene and that most club's sub-woofers have split input making them all mono.

However this will never be a problem for you because your shit will never get played in front of a crowd so do whatever the fuck you want

Did you check at russian time? I missed it by a few days because I forgot, made sure to put on phone alarm and computer calendar event this month

>tfw all more professional tutorials use ableton but you use FL and don't want to swtich because you like it and even have a licence for it.

How can I make my final Cubase mixdown sound like... how to explain it... deeper, wider, with a high dynamic range?

Why do you think that it will never be played anywhere? Why are people here so fucking pessimistic?

I'm close to their time, so yeah, but I couldn't sign up.

Bevause he's spent the last 10 years making hip hop beats for 2 hours a month and is now upset he never got anywhere

Shut up fag, I could beat you with one hand and produce better music in Audacity then you could ever hope to make with full DAW with the other.

Fresh daily reminder for the aspiring producers here:

youtube.com/watch?v=1Y7mh0YvBPw

clyp.it/hoqr5eva

Is it worth getting a producer to make a demo? sounds a bit 1985 to me.

Add to that the matter of vinyl cutting, where larger amounts of stereo low-frequency information can cause damage to the cutting stylus or skips in the finished product due to excessive playback stylus travel.

>deeper
More bass? More layers?

>wider
Panning and mid/side processing, stereo expansion

>high dynamic range
Don't compress the bejeezus out of everything

I like to read self help books for inspo.

Next /prod/ please include "do not respond to "Jbenitex". We had a nice thing going on here until he reappeared on Cred Forums and found this general.

Is it possible to mimic guitar tracks on a keyboard and make it sound at all close to the real thing?

Like i said my mic preamp/audio interface is coming back from repair

my mic xlr cable broke, order a new one 2 day shipping

gonna be dropping more disses on tedy once all equipment comes

What happened to these threads lol

Have you guys found any mixing plugins to be especially worthwhile over stock eqs/compressors or whatever?

>Is it possible to mimic guitar tracks on a keyboard and make it sound at all close to the real thing?
Yes, sample a real guitar and assign the sample to be triggered by a keyboard.
>Like i said my mic preamp/audio interface is coming back from repair
You are beyond repair. Especially any of your interfaces.

sexy wubstep white noise sweep desu

Okay gonna upload a new track

gonna sample pink floyd

What part of "do not respond" do you not understand?

Not at all

we've already been over this

Did you make a thread about this? You should it's really good I like it.

How can I make a living from producing and/or composing?

pultec style eq

that's the stuff I need for mixing

This guy kinda seems to really love this and have worked on his music every moment of a day for years, but he still makes those niggy shitty beats, I don't understand. Sometimes I think everything is just a parody. And that talk about selling music being easy... Who the fuck buys this shit?

youtube.com/watch?v=PYYDVpZ3nrU

Low iq
Being good at producing requires some intelligence

He has a website selling shit on how to sell beats.
He is probably full of shit.

Just listening to this, (and have watched some of his videos in the past), and he brags about making a "beat" in 10-15 minutes. Literally wtf. I mean, he looks like a cool guy wanting to help, but daaamn.

And I don't think I'll every understand those black people and their "beats".

What's worse are all the trap kiddies who want to emulate them.

I'd appreciate some feedback with this one. It's not quite finished yet, but I tried to add some more complexity.

put the wub wubs on earlier

It sounds really good. I'm just starting out myself so I couldn't give you any specific criticisms.

>starts a song with a whole note progression in 4/4
is your own song something you would keep playing if you stumbled upon it on the radio? think about it

I know the intro's a bit long but I was trying to get a bit of a lead up. Do you think I should just start right away with the piano?

i think you should start over. But what do I know I'm just some faggot

But what do you think I should do differently is my question? Any other criticisms outside the slow start? What did you think of the melody and the bass line I added at the end?

I would greatly appreciate if someone would be an extra set of ears and critique my mixing for a minimal drum and bass tune I have been working on for the past 4 months (on and off). In return I will do the same for you.

I like drum and bass, gib link

>tfw you never reach noisia prod level

It actually goes back to mastering vinyl, where the sound is literally cut into the recording media.

Mastering engineers had problems with bass in the early days of stereo - the groove in the record has to contain twice as much information (music, whatever). Also, bass can be problamatic on vinyl, because large amounts of bass mean larger grooves cut, and therefore smaller "walls" between the grooves. This can make it easier for the record to skip.

The easiest solution is to just make everything below a certain frequency the same ("mono") so it can be cut into the vinyl with less problems.

Stephanie, send NUDES.

What do you guys think of fl studio? I've been playing around with it for like 4 years now, but I'm kind of getting tired of the interface. But my computer can't really handle anything else (shitty 3gb ram and shitty processor).

I want to get more into soundscapes and stuff using the granulizer, do most people use it?

Also, not to sound like a complete autist (but will probably sound like one anyway), how do I become as famous as deadmau5?

clyp.it/4vkzlx2h


does this sound too wide?

A name surrounded in triple parentheses means they are Jewish. He's suggesting that deadmau5's success is because of Jewish connections and nepotism.

it does. the composition is also terrible. the synths sound nice though.

The glack beat at the end doesn't really match the song, but the melody you've got sounds really nice.

I just started too so I'm looking for some advice as well

nope
I second this user it the composition is extremely basic and tiring

Theres nothing to be gained here

Just proves that connections mean everything if you want to get heard, don't be disheartened, there are established artists that browse /prod/ threads, maybe if you get good enough they might tell their friends.

jewish connections? how does being jewish help you become as successful as he is lol

How do I get an ambient wall of noise like in the background of this?

Ah yes, I see now. the fox news of the internet

when did /prod/ threads turn into "this sucks" and no constructive criticisms and also jbentix shitposting, I've been absent for 4 months.

Spend a few minutes browsing through

I should start making music for the sake of it being fun and sharing with friends, rather than making money off it. Who knows, maybe I can make a few bucks on iTunes or Spotify in the future. Then I'll get noticed or something haha.

I'd probably be 30 by then tho (im 18)

i like the sound design but yes, it's shit. i cringed after 2 bars and major-cringed after 8 bars.

you need a driving background synth, then it will sound alot better.

i can imagine the type of people who like tom's diner getting into this

but that's terrible advice

flume browses /prod/, I'm sure he's not the only one

source?

short sweep to silence, then add a short fill
before the drop. Should be enough.

Jesus, nobody wants to listen to a shitty synth playing 4 notes for 20 seconds

Quantize your keys so they dont sound so offbeat

Remove that stupid swoosh in the intro, also the strings came in too early and too hard. Otherwise its good, I like the main riff thing a lot.

Pic related

cut the cymbal/crash and mix it properly, other than that you got a decent beat, not anything groundbreaking but most rappers would probably spit on it.

What is wrong with your kick+mix? Your sidechain sounds fucked up breh

gonna second this question, also love that you posted the grouper link my man (Y)

Hey guys I'm new to music and wondering about compression. What determines the instruments you should compression. I've seen breakdowns of songs and seems like some people compress every track. If this is correct how do I use this without my track seeming overly compressed?

How do I make a something sound "underwater"?

clyp.it/y342r3lk

I made this last night messing around with FL Studio. I'm new to music production so it's not that good.

So here's my rig

>i5 4460
>8 GB ram
>Scarlett 2i2

I'm running my guitar through the 2i2 into reaper at 64 buffer size, running through a bunch of VSTs and S-Gear as my amp sim. However at this configuration I get the occasion click and pop, any idea how I can reduce them without increasing buffer size?

Also I noticed that running S-Gear natively without any DAW doesn't introduce any popping at all, whereas running S-Gear solely on REAPER introduces some popping. What's going on here? Would changing to another DAW like ableton live 9 help?

>Wall fuck
What did he mean by this?

>What determines the instruments you should compress
Think about how you want the sound to sound, and see if compression will accomplish that. For live instrumentation you'll often want to use is to balance out the level, since human playing is imperfect and often too dynamic. You can use compression to reduce the dynamic range (the range between the quietest sound and the loudest sound).


youtube.com/watch?v=WFXYoab-kAg

Is your Scarlett connected to some USB hub? You could have a different buffer settings in Reaper.

Nope it's not connected to a USB hub, straight into the USB3.0. The latency setting is correct, 64 buffer size, 44khz sample rate.

>not over compressing everything
bait

read the OP. gitgud Don't over compress

My weak, over-squashed response to kygo flute nigger
clyp.it/lxce3ryd

compressors make things punch while keeping the same RMS loudness, ideally

>SAMPLE MY OMEGA CODE
clyp.it/5tqsrdnn

Why do you need a buffer size that small? I can run my guitar with no latency with triple that

The next available buffer size is 128, and that gives me 11ms of latency which is too much for my taste. 64 gives me 6ms which is fine enough.

Is it my CPU's fault over here?

What software is this?

clicking is a telltale sign of overloaded cpu

bitchwig

It only clicks when I load it in REAPER though. If I load S-Gear on its own, there's no issues, no clicking. Only happens when I load it in REAPER

Use the EMU "bottom feeder" Z-plane filter

So... can I have a good sound only using VST instruments?

What kind of music/instruments

Prog rock. Synthesizers, flute, bass, clavichord and so...

Use Kontakt and download Sausage fattener :^D

post yfw when you realized you sausage fattener on everything.

Would it fit if I want to add a few recorded sounds like rocks hitting?

Probably not then

Only if you glue it with Sausage fattener
impressive

ABLETON OR CUBASE?

WHICH ONE SHOULD I PICK???

I used Mixcraft for 4 years now and I am a advanced producer but I'm lookin to step my game up. Which one is better?

>mixcraft
>advanced

just go with ableton

clyp.it/dn1pe4y5

This is a fifth day of my first big project I think, I said to myself I'll finish it this week but I guess it will take a little longer. I took a pause from it for a day because I have been listening to it too much, and then I mostly just tweaked the mix.

I'm planning to compose a completely different intro (similar to its ending) and redo some parts, as well as possibly change some instrumentation, but currently I'm stuck at mixing because I rarely worked with this many channels and I'm kinda struggling to figure out how to mix it properly and wondering if some channels should be muted in some parts in order to clear the overall sound. I even think maybe it's a problem with my levels, but I'm not sure.

Tell me what you think and what I should focus at the moment, thanks. Even a day off is not enough for me to reset my ears so I need some help.

>>fl studio

kek pleb

Hey so I have a question.

I have a basic condenser mic I think a mxl120 and I need to record a friend playing and singing at the same time. Since he doesnt like to play then sing how can I record him and get a decent quality if it's just in my bedroom?

Ive used both and I'd go with Ableton myself

Let's wait for the final mixdown, and we will judge then.

Depends on your style. I heard that Ableton is more electronic-oriented.

Is ableton live 9 lite any good for production, assuming I don't really need all the stock instruments that comes with the full version of live 9? Are there any limits that would seriously undermine the live 9 lite's ability as a full fledged DAW?

Can it do automation, MIDI, the usual kind of stuff?

Any fucking DAW can do this.

>Ableton
>still no mono

ableton.com/en/live/feature-comparison/

its like a portastudio with midi, would get standard

That would be because of Reaper's overhead being added to S-Gear's, think about the data flow just for your guitar sound and what your CPU does to manage that:

Using ASIO drivers and a simplified flow model (cpu also responsible for USB data flow to and from the audio hardware although A/D-D/A conversion is handled within the audio hardware)

>S-Gear in standalone:
Hardware input>ASIO driver>S-Gear input>S-Gear processing>S-Gear output>ASIO Driver>Hardware output

>S-Gear hosted as a VST within Reaper:
Hardware input>ASIO driver>Reaper input>Reaper VST interface>S-Gear input>S-Gear processing>S-Gear output>Reaper VST interface>Reaper output>ASIO Driver>Hardware output

And that second one doesn't take into account any processing done by Reaper's mixer section, it's a lot more overhead than standalone.

half of Cred Forums are LITERAL fat faggots that think self-defeat and hyper awareness of the fact you are not the king of the galaxy, and therefore just some space-trash, is the way to live

sam hyde detected

In that case what's the best VST host I can find that offers the least latency overhead for live playing usage? I don't need fancy features, just a simple one channel thing with the ability to host various VSTs

amp

Use standalone if all you need is S-Gear, and VSTHost if you need to process the signal in addition to S-Gear

hermannseib.com/english/vsthost.htm

If all you need is a single VST you can use SAVIHost by the same author, but that has no advantages when using S-Gear since it can function standalone

It's good to remind yourself from times to times that being a cynic defeatist is not gonna help you achieve any of your goals in life in any way, but I hate people who denies the existence of any kind of determinism.
Warren Buffet's father was a politician, a businessman and a friend of Murray Rothbard, not a factory worker. There is more reasons to why he is rich as fuck now than "he worked his ass off".

Alright I just tried using ableton live 9 lite that came with my 2i2 and bam, I could load a couple of reverbs and delays without any popping at all, keeping cpu load under 25%. Sweet.

Sorry for the Cred Forums example, I should have use the exemple of Mozart and Beethoven who were born in families of musicians and composers.

>"brah, you gotta pay the price"
>"no pain, no gain brah"
>"all about dat grind"

just stfu and follow your dreams and don't talk about "grinding" every second of the day.

yeah ableton is really well optimized
I can run 64 i/o on a 64 sample buffer with my rme madiface on a shitty ultrabook for foh playback and inserts and still throw all kinds of effects at it

Self improvement speeches and books are often somewhat cringy and ultimately useless, but if anything has seriously helped me and what I would recommend to anyone to listen to is this speech by Jim Rohn:

youtube.com/watch?v=7WDPrDAM2Cc

It is the only motivational speech worth listening to, in my opinion.

Nothing is 100%

>2 hours

Nobody is forcing you to watch it, it is up to you.

clyp.it/isn5pkuv

Kind of eight bit inspired music, with fucktons of reverb and delay. Used Ableton as usual.

I purchase the plugins from their respective websites. You just missed a big Waves sale

but you can get sample libraries for all of those

waves is 98% trash though
so many useless plugins

utility plugin, fuckface

What producers are you inspired by /prod/? I am inspired by Tsuruda and Josh Pan.

is fruity granulizer any good?

He said he wanted Waves that's why I mentioned it. They have some decent stuff though like MaxxBass and Doubler. Most of their virtual analog stuff is not as good as the UAD equivalents though, and for stuff like digital compression/parametric EQ I generally prefer FabFilter stuff over Waves

Josh Pan makes trash now desu

It is

fruity granulizer is trash. so fucking complicated

lol you said the same thing and posted the same picture in the last /prod/

your shit sucks as well, a cat could throw notes in that piano roll better

Buy ableton and quit being a bitch

if electronic ableton
if recording logic

>no mono

how long does one usually take when creating a song or track?

Anywhere from 5 minutes to a year

I'm shit though so 5 hours

lol lrn2utility good friend

(Its in the audio effects.)

>that drum loop
>those robotic backvocals
>being this catchy

5 hours is nothing. Either your songs are really basic, or your mix is not great. Can you post some clyp? Professionals can spend dozens, if not 100+ hours per song.

>nigga tryina test me AH

Something I made for a highschool project, never turned it in though because I made something else. Still working on it

Please help
Grouper is the biggest example but Tim Hecker often uses a similar effect: youtube.com/watch?v=RXpIWGoA8oE

I know there are a lot of ways to go about something like this but where do I even begin?

Fuck yeah lads

That's some good shit.

I think that some of his recent stuff is good, although some of it is generic meme trap.

Okay, now put shoe on head an post results

>doesn't understand mixing 101

What's a good book on mixing ?

House of balloons is his best, and the story around it is cool.

Any videos that show Push, that are not shitty stock techno sample boom ts clap ts boom ts clap pss loop?

push is too expensive for what it does

how do i make this not shit?

mixing with your mind

see

Seems like nobody uses FL here anymore. Don't know why since it is only getting better with every update.

i started out on cracked fl but switched to cubase eventually

Probably because brostep isn't a thing anymore

I do.

It's just a tool.

I started on FL, but since I got a license for it there is especially no reason for me to jump trains. I like it very much anyways. But are some aspects of a workflow retarded? Yes, they are.

can i get a feedback
made this couple hours ago

i like imagelines synths harmor and sytrus thinking about getting them when i can

also every daw has something retarded with it and the developers will not listen to the users

soundcloud.com/jormangod/jorman-god-sounds2

new sounds

i never really use sytrus. i've always found nexus to be way superior. why is sytrus so good?

make stuff sound on key and it will sound better

its a hybrid synth it can do subtractive additive and fm but you need to make your own shit

nexus is good for having usable sounds right away

nexus is basically just a rompler, m808
how do you even compare these

My 13 y/o nephew made this and wanted feedback.

What should I tell him?

tell him to make more! also give him a TB-303

bait

enjoy your 7-10 windows up at once you simpleton

lol what DOESN'T it do?

its an 800 dollar midi controller

over priced and over rated

>having a small monitor with tiny resolution
>not even having multiple monitors

I don't have to move around any main parts, and I only have one window opened at a time.

Just saw it for $600 here, if only they included a full Ableton with that.

For hiphop, do you prefer FL or Ableton?

I've been on and off with FL, but I'm not efficient in it yet.

Ableton every time. Though lots of hip-hop producers use FL

That's fucking cool.
The mixdown is fucked but it's already pretty great

also this

they have a bundle with push 2 and suite for 1400 dollars

Is it easier or something?

I've downloaded it and uninstalled when it looked like it wasn't made for retards.

I got intimidated, been like two years though.

found mine on cl still in box barely used for 500

be mad

Try them both and see for yourself, you can use both for anything.

again with the DAW shit? God you people are really some of the most insecure faggots on this site

shutup flume

people who make music are usually autistic as fuck

what do you mean god

Where do you think we are? Reddit? If I wasn't so autistic and up in my head I would post my stuff on Reddit for a feedback, but since I'm afraid of downvotes more than anything I am stuck here with even more autistic people than me.

upvoted

downvoted

Velocity is obviously not the perfect tool when it comes to making oneshots sound like they're actually being played live. (Since the tone usually changes a lot with loudness in the real world.)
But what is?
a lowcut is certainly not ideal either.
I guess if you had oneshots of the same drum sound recorded live with varying loudnesses it would work but that's not what I'm trying to achieve here. I also don't mean a drum sound bank plugin or anything like that.
Just one shot samples.

Why would you like some fake praise if you could get the truth and actually improve instead?

Newfag here, what's Audionews? Are there any advantages to using it over TPB?

lowpass* or
highcut*

excuse moi

Audio stuff only?

A combination of velocity tied to volume, also affecting low-pass cutoff and volume envelope decay time is useful. Softer hits usually result in sounds that are shorter.

is it even save to torrent these days anymore?

it's fantastic but they charge if you want to use it seriously.
The advantage is tpb has a very sparce number of shit to choose from. Most people uploading their r2rs on tpb are getting them from extrator or audionews. Why is it better? There's more shit and it's more reliable

Question /prod/....what is objectively the BEST sample provider

your microphones

>airborn can't survive without using other people's work

i like it, short and sweet

I'm dumbfounded as to why people complain about this or even say it like it's some factual statement. You fucking put a Utility and turn down the stereo width to 0%. If you need to A/B just turn Utility off. Are people just parroting this as some kind of meme?

it's just the same guy every thread

what did he mean by this

that he's bad at photoshop

Srsly

>being this fucking new

tips on a newbie to techno music producing ?
>been doing hip hop/trap beats for a long time >I want to try to mix for my local "underground" scene events,


what should i listen to ?
>my favorite track is BlackWater by Octave One


(what i did in 5 minutes: clyp.it/xdjf1dkb , totally new to this type of music)

I think this is fine if your dream is simply to make music and enjoy yourself doing it, but if your goal is to make a career out of it, there's gonna be some "grind" to it. Because then you have to get good at things that aren't music related, like marketing yourself, knowing how to navigate the industry, choosing people to work with, etc.

What are your thoughts as musicians on this album?

find some Berghain stuff :^)

I really wish people would stop acting like spending money makes you a goy. Pirate it if you really can't afford it, but all this software is far from free to make. People buying these products is why they're able to exist in the first place. I know its just a joke a lot of the time but some people really think this.

and check /bleep/

>faggot buys a DAW

...

faggots like you are the reason dongle copy protection exists

this doesn't answer the quesiton explain the fucking meme

You're welcome for my help funding the software that you stole :^)

is this supposed to make me feel bad? Do you truly believe pirating makes a massive impact on software sales for these companies? Are you that fucking dense?

...

No, I don't care how you feel, and in fact if you are someone who chooses to pirate, I wish you success anyway. But acting like piracy doesn't affect anything else is naïve.

forever ago in /prod/ somebody said they heard that maschines can only play one note at a time, so i said "i dont think maschines send out mono midi signals", mistakenly thinking that nobody would be too autistic to recognize i was using mono to mean "one at a time" and not saying that mono midi signals were some actual specific kind of midi signal that exists.
