This video of Japanese beatmakers has got me really inspired - check it out, very cool concept

>>53623571
I love stuff like this thanks

>>53623522
>soundcloud? are you serious?
this is vague to the point of uselessness, it doesn't say anything to the people who don't know the rule already

>>53623571

I wonder how the weed in japan is

>>53623674

thanks :^) this actually inspired me to start making beats out of tracks using only samples from the one track - it's good practice and fun

>>53623895

I certainly wouldn't want to get caught x_x

I keep listening to music and having an idea of the kind of song that I want to make in my head but it's like vague bits and pieces. Like I'll have a couple seconds of this brilliant idea and then it'll vanish. And when I try to open up my DAW to get it down either I freeze up and can't recall it and just end up pumping out some mediocre sounding crap or I can only loop that one sound over itself for like the entire song.

How do I get really focused on what I'm making? So that it becomes less about "huh I guess this will sound good" and more about "I have this entire idea planned out and right here in my mind let's build it piece by piece"?

Am I making sense? I dunno.

>>53623958

>Am I making sense?
Absolutely.
Same kind of symptoms here. I think that happens because I can't play any instrument.

>>53623958
>"I have this entire idea planned out and right here in my mind let's build it piece by piece"
i don't think this ever really happens
i mean sure you learn how to use the various tools you have available to you and get better at knowing when each is needed but i think it's fairly rare to just know exactly what you're going to do and then do it flawlessly

>>53624123
I guess it was the matter of you unable to convey the melody or groove you had spinning in your mind.

>>53624123
>i mean sure you learn how to use the various tools you have available to you and get better at knowing when each is needed
Maybe that's part of it. I've been sticking to just some crappy freeware synths and Logic's stock drum machines because I told myself I wouldn't drop a bunch of money on this until I was sure I'm actually going to stick with it and make something cool and I sometimes feel a little restricted by that.

I dunno, though. I guess a lot of it is also being able to get my ideas down somewhere so that I don't come up with something great and then lose it by the time I get to my computer.

>>53624339
don't be afraid to pirate stuff, no need to stick to freeware and default sounds. as for getting down ideas, most people seem to just use voice memos on their phones or little beatmaker apps or portable gear depending on what kind of ideas you have on the go and how you like to translate them.

>>53623958
>How do I get really focused on what I'm making? So that it becomes less about "huh I guess this will sound good" and more about "I have this entire idea planned out and right here in my mind let's build it piece by piece"?

First of all get to know a handful of basic plugins really well, get to know how they work inside out for your basic delay, reverbs, compressors etc along with your DAW know how the basics you use work or again get to know it inside out.

Next spend years fucking around making stuff you enjoy.
Work out your basic work flow, where do you normally start? For instance if you start with making beats have your DAW setup so that all the drum tracks are already on the channels along with your basic effects you use for drums same goes for your sampler if you use that for beats, make sure it has multi outs and put your effects on each out. Do the same for all your other instruments.
When you feel like getting an idea down open up your DAW and everything should be set up and ready to go so you can get straight into your workflow.

Most importantly the more you write or use your daw and make music the better you will get you will naturally start to build tracks repetitively and over time you will create a style doing so.

I have mates that put in 8 hour days every day for years working in their studios when they first started, now they know their set up so well they know exactly what they are doing when they go to write a track, they know exactly what reverb and how much they want on their kick drum, they know exactly what sample they want and where to put it in the track. They work with minimal amounts of plugins and hardware but they know how it all works and the same with the synth sounds and sample selections. Sample library's have been built over the years, edited like crazy and all the weak samples cleaned out.

Keep it minimal, select a few good plugins and learn them well, same with gear, samples and your DAW.

Okay here you go.

i lived in okinawa and it's shit. weed cost like 10,000 yen(bout around $120 if the exchange rate is shit.) for alittle less than a gram if you don't have a connect with the yakuza( even then it's still expensive). spice and meth is much much more popular in japan

>>53624825
A few years back I had pretty much every Waves plugin going along with a fuck tonne of other plugins (all pirated), recently I decided to get rid of all of them and only use a few and to buy the ones I use. Now I have probably 10 plugins along with the basic one that come with Logic.

If I need compression on something I chose between the 2 compressors I have (rather than 20 different ones) put it on the channel and it's done. I find this really handy. Same with all other effects. It also makes you work the few effects you have and I think it's better to have one really good delay than 50 delays.

>>53624825
or don't if you don't feel like it's helping you to do any of these things. i get so tired of seeing variations of this post with the underlying tone that this is the "right" way to do it.
8 hours a day is just too much for some people and that doesn't mean that they aren't "cut out for this" or whatever other thing people try to say that that means.
there's also nothing wrong with having and learning lots of plugins... in fact i think it's better to use lots of plugins (maybe not lots, but more than 1) of each type not only for variety but just to get a sense of the different ways in which all the controls can be laid out and interact with one another. plus there are just some plugins with functions that other plugins of the same type don't have. there's no freeze on ableton's reverb like there is on pianoverb, for instance.
>they know exactly what reverb and how much they want on their kick drum, they know exactly what sample they want and where to put it in the track.
no offense, but i would never want to be this way. it just sounds like the total death of experimentation to claim you know exactly what you want to do before you've even sat down.

What do you think of Todd Terje as a producer? I really love his stuff <3

Whats the nicest sounding thing in music to you guys?

>>53625316

a really well produced song that I love

I like a lot of songs that don't sound as good as they could, but when a song comes along that I really feel was done justice, it makes me giddy

>>53625175
It was just an example of things that might help get ideas down and improve workflows, I'm not suggesting it's the RIGHT way at all.

Unfortunatly for me when some of my mates were spending 8 hours a day producing I was spending 12 hours a day working, so I never really spent that amount of time in my studio not every day anyway.

I never goto my DAW or any of my gear with any ideas like "I'm going to write this today". I normally sit down and fuck about with something until I like the sound then build on that, I never really have any plan of what I'm going to write or with what sounds.

https://clyp.it/m24yruwj

Would love constructive criticism on this

>>53623958

you can't plan it all out before hand

something that works for me well when i have writers block is to throw as many stupid samples and sounds into the track as i can without any premeditation, after some time the thought police shuts down and something speaks to you and you can get cracking

>>53625316

well produced shakers get me every time, not enough people do them well

>>53625175
>no offense, but i would never want to be this way. it just sounds like the total death of experimentation to claim you know exactly what you want to do before you've even sat down.

Also I didn't mean before they'd even sat down I ment as the basics of the track, also knowing how much compression to put on a kick is obviously variable but I could spend an hour fucking about trying to find how much compression sounds right if you spend a lot of time in a studio you know how much is right for what your trying to achieve

>>53624991
doesn't sound worth it. I'd much rather be drunk in the hotel making beats anyway

>>53625316
really high pitched twinkly stuff with reverb on the track

Playing around with deathgrips vs. mathrock and this sounds alright as a first draft. I don't really know how to do transitions/automation that well so it sounds like a rough draft.

Does anyone have any tips on how to NOT get shocked when working with a tube amp? I get shocked even when it's turned off and don't wanna ruin any of my equipment.

could use some advice on where to take this mess..

i keep expecting a sampled reverby saxophone or something to end up in there, maybe ive listened to too much trip hop

>>53623958
Don't force it. In my experience, it's always best to experiment and discover things as you go, than having some grand idea in your head and trying to recreate it.
If you do the latter, the finished product will never be as good as what you originally envisioned and it can be pretty frustrating. Most of my best ideas weren't preconceived but just happy accidents.

after turning it off always keep it plugged in for some more minutes so the big ass capacitors can unload

that's the basic things but you maybe want a tech to check it

>experimental 170bpm
Funny, I started working on the same thing. I really like how slowly yours builds up a very interesting atmosphere. I also love how clean your mix is. How did you manage it; EQ every track in a very detailed manner?

https://clyp.it/bbatdavu
I kinda already know where I'd take this but would like opinions of other anons; does it have potential, should I keep working on it? I already have something written but idk if I should put it in as spoken word over the track or just written in the track's description.

>>53623571
this looks really cool
reminds me of rythm roulette

>>53625916
Use something conductive like a screwdriver to ground it. Ideally it should be grounded by the plug, but I'm guessing it's some 2 prong BS. What amp is it?

I suggest taking it to a tech to replace the power cable and properly ground it. I do not suggest trying to fix it yourself, as you encounter 400VDC at high enough amperage to stop your heart.

>can't find Max MSP full torrent anywhere

anyone want to help me out?

Could you suggest a decent mastering/finalizing tool that you can have good RMS output with? I used to work with T-Racks for some period until I realized I couldn't get a mix loud enough compared to some other tracks I used as a reference.

Hows my artwork :^)

it's not especially when you're american cause it's a federal offense; that's why people smoke meth and spice. and drinking is pretty much the norm there they have beer dispensers and you don't need an ID to use them and they're EVERYWHERE. weird thing is they have cig dispensers EVERYWHERE but you need an ID. they're more strict on cigs than alcohol which is pretty cool made highschool a blast for me and my friends since we could go to stores and they'd sell it to use not givin a shit. to get cigs we had to search for shops owned by old ass people and act like we were marines

Hnnng; we flylo now. Love how cool, under the filter everything is. And how the hihats come in with the downpitched bass note. This really is great. Personally i'd add a real world sample like rain or cars or trains to really bring it to life like something that's really happening along reality, cus the essence of the feel is already there. Or right where the clyp ended add some base notes and go from there.

It was fun. My cousins were watching so they made fun of it afterwards. Just real glad it didn't do any damage besides just the pain of when it happened. Quite a learning experience; now i'll never work EVER again with electronics without my trusty gloves.

Not the guy you're replying to but how do you like Logic? I'm pretty new to producing as a whole but I messed around on a pirated version of FL Studio for a few months before I got a Mac and lost interest. I got Logic a few weeks ago and I've been trying to get back in the swing of things

is it me or is mixing more fun then actually making music? learning how to do mixing and i'm diggin the tweaking and tryna make stuff sound better waaaaaaaaaaayy more than making synths, programming drums, and arranging.

When music is beautifully mixed where you can explore every corner of the sound and there is something different to listen to in each one. Like in the front is a lead, in the back a rythm maybe, and to the left and right also different complementary rythms and lost stabs or hithats or tiny hits in the northwest, southwest, notheast and southeast sides of the sound like Nosaj Thing or Gorillaz. At least that's an experience I love when wearing headphones.

Or just pretty much when the mix gives a beautiful, capturing, almost magical aspect to the song even if it's something simple like xxyyxx's About you or a mesmerizing wall of sound that even if it's a huge wall composed of few building blocks you want to feel and hear all its crevices like pink floyd's Any color you like.

>2015

what were you expecting

>>53629867
definitely sounds digital to me due to how stable the oscillators are when there's no vibrato added; whether it's a digital hardware synth or a softsynth is anybody's guess.

>>53629945
bang on. its the 3Xosc with all triangle waves.

I used a pitch LFO for vibrato, just roll it on and off when needed.
'loose' sequencing (ie. drawing notes in with the grid snap turned off and not worrying if things are a bit out) tends to help it sound a bit more natural, as if it was really played, but yeah the held notes w/o vib are a dead giveaway.

learn an instrument (or another instrument) learning and playing music is known to develop brain activity.
but yeah the prerequisite for making music is some kind of natural talent or affiliation with sound, so you miiiight be fucked.

you fucking FAGGOT dont just put yourself down like that at least TRY and read some books and watch some vids and DO shit and learn dont just shit yourself cus you dont know anything and say "well i guess ill never learn" FUCK IM MAD

>>53630195
just write music on the guitar. get some lined paper and make up some tabs. then you can record them later once you've mastered playing them. from there you could layer in other instruments or more layers of guitar, maybe do some singing, or even totally fuck with your guitar sound and make it into something completely different. chop your playing into little chunks and use it as the basis of a track.
smoke some weed or something :^)

Hopfully this will get you started in the right direction. Watch all his 'how to' playlists and I recomend you read the manual. And like >>53630245 said: Don't give up!

>>53630195
I mean it's really not difficult to transfer guitar melodies to a piano roll right? Then, just browse through presets until you find something not shitty and throw a drum loop in there. Bass, chords, fx, samples, whatever. Easy. Eventually you can try editing presets to get the exact sound you want and working with automation. Then layering, eqing, mixing, etc etc. The point is to experiment and practice, fag.

>>53630195
i went from knowing only guitar to computer music. it's a hard hump to get over because you will realize you actually don't know shit about music. but once you get over the hump and learn more about composition and synthesis, you will become enlightened.

I thought it was gay until the last minute or so. it's ok from there on out, maybe get some more energy in there with another synthline or maybe mad percs

>>53630403
Not sure if you're intentionally going for the lo-fi vibe, but it's severely lacking mid and bass. It's also quite repetitive. Needs more stereo too. And some melodic development.

What are some electronic songs that mix acoustic guitar and synths well?

I listened to UTQC and really liked a lot of the really free-flowing tracks or the ones with interesting instrumentation, it made me wonder what various types of guitars would sound like mixed in but I don't know how it would work and I'm very curious now

I know Four Tet does some of that but I don't know where to start with him

Cool, thanks.

I love Cosmogramma but UTQC has this really unique feeling. The album art encapsulates it perfectly, it's like some bizarre dreamy tribal dance. It's like it's almost laid back and relaxed and at the same time incredibly precise so every little sound is exactly where it's supposed to be. I'd love to capture something like that.

>>53630615
i definitely understand where you're coming from. but if you wanna make computer music you must have been inspired by something right? Basically write what you know and stick to it until you get the basics. I started off with satire, then moving onto video game stuff, now I feel like music is my oyster and i can do whatever i want if i listen to it hard enough.

i would really encourage you to even fuck around with song writing on the computer in general, i got way better at coherent song writing after going from guitar to computer. i still play guitar, but i play a lot less bullshit. i have become more of a thinker than a feeler, and now i think i am starting to utilize both sides.

also what >>53630749 said. I would do the same but i still haven't found anyone i really connect with on an electronic level. everyone just plays folk music or generic edm

fuckin good stuff

Is there anything I need to know about converting a whole shitton of .WAV files? Apparently you can't edit the tags on that particular format and I've got ~240 or so files that I need to edit. I figure if I covert them all to FLAC I should be able to edit them properly. I guess my question is whether or not there will be any risk involved in converting so many files. Sorry, not sure how to word this tbh.

Also, are there encoders/programs that do the job better than others? File formats that would be better to convert than to FLAC? Total newb to this but this was the only somewhat relevant thread that I saw.

Thanks.

It's okay, there's just something about that percussion I don't like.

What are some good vocal plugins for either FL or Pro Tools.

I'm currently working on a mixtape but want to spice up the vocals. I'm looking dearly for that low voice effect too.

Much like in this song @ 2:30 -

There are different variations I'm aiming for too like in this song @ 1:08 -
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FlaEiiGWgUc

how long do yall spend on drums? creating, mixing, and programming wise. i just spent two days on two bars.. shold i just move on or is that a normal time?

>>53631242
i mean it's straight 909 and some claps
tbh I didn't get inspired for the percussion, just chords I really liked in some of my favorite pads

oh well it was only an hour or so burned anyways and i had fun
practice practice practice

>>53626010
>https://clyp.it/yxjvezyi

Clean sounds but there are some notes off key that really damage how it sounds, like in the middle and end parts your raising the pitch at the end of 2 bars or something, which i get, its a cool way to transition the loop, but its off key and I'm surprised you cant tell. I dont know music for shit but c'mon anyone can tell.
Other than that, I think you over-complicated the song, theres a lot going on. Sometimes simpler, and shorter, is better.

>>53631317
depends on what you want the sound of the song to focus on in general
if you're making a house track and you're all into the sounds of a pad and chord progressions and stuff, i think that percussion can take the backseat so long as you have the timbre right

sometimes a simple kick/snare or clap is enough, depends on what you're making. The Field made a lot of great tracks for From Here We Go Sublime by laying down the kick and focusing on manipulating samples.

there's no correct process, and there's no wasted time so long as you're learning from the process. I cannot tell you how much shit I've learned from making shitty tracks, sometimes you figure cool things out and hear new things just by playing with sound for a while.

how to this bass
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CybO7XtYpdU
it sounds really simple but i can't make it

>>53631459
i think that it maybe has some pitch LFO in it,when it makes those weird pitch changes

>>53630600
Dunno if this is acoustic, might be electric, definitely processed, but this song uses a guitar in a really nice and subtle way.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbKXkQseBck

This also uses an electric guitar.

>>53630710
>I love Cosmogramma but UTQC has this really unique feeling. The album art encapsulates it perfectly, it's like some bizarre dreamy tribal dance. It's like it's almost laid back and relaxed and at the same time incredibly precise so every little sound is exactly where it's supposed to be. I'd love to capture something like that.
damn son are you me?

>>53631449
i'm making breakbeat and pretty much most the time on my drums has been EQing, making and replacing the kick drum and finding the right volume for hi hats which is damn near impossible. hi hats are a bitch for me

>>53631578
do you deconstruct, mix and eq the break all at once before splicing it up and whatnot?

or do you start with the break, start splicing, then realize you need to EQ, then you go back and realize that the EQ did not match the entire break, then you hear that the break was not entirely mixed, etc?

>>53628800


So far you're my favorite in this thread. Very clean sounds, the bass is on point, and great mix overall, whats your sc?

>>53631459
pls respond

>>53631664
actually i find snares, kick drums on old jazz breaks slice em in audacity and bring em to ableton where i tweak and add layers of other samples or synthetic and i have a million semi high quality hi hat samples. after i made the drums i put em all in drum rack, eq alittle again and mess with their volumes trying to make it all sound balanced and program the breaks myself. usually after i program the breaks i add compression to the whole drum rack to make it punchy. this isn't to screwbally is it?

>>53631937
technically what i'm making is big beat sorry bout that

Iktf. I've got almost an EP recorded. I want to record with a proper mic/use proper monitors, but have no money due to being NEET. I also have no social media buzz for the same reason, because wtf am I gonna post about?

So, obviously now is a shitty time to drop an album, but I'm so close, and want to show people my work.

is it worth it to transfer from FL to ableton and if so how hard is it

Hi /prod/

I was trying a genre that i don't usually make ( ambient techno ) and it went a bit weird

https://clyp.it/hkslzoac
Thoughts? How to improve ? ( etc )

>>53628800

Really great anon

>>53633426
Absolutely. It took about a week or two for me to get real comfortable with it but it's been super beneficial for me in making my songs sound more professional. I just like the workflow better in general.

>>53633465

I'm actually super inspired by this picture cos it looks like a spot I normally work at, except the console has more channels than ours, plus there's usually some females around, and in a photo like this one I really stick out due to being the only white dude (which is hilarious because everyone asks what's up with me on the social media).
Even "Give us two more beers" is perfect because me and the artist I work with the most will post up in the studio all night just tracking/mixing and killing beers two at a time.

...I'll come back with something more relevant, but goddamn if that picture doesn't make me think that every time I see it.

>>53633606
lucky

>>53633426
why ableton? why not Cubase? Logic Pro? Reason? so many other good DAWs

>>53633657
i use logic but isn't ableton really good for live performance? this is the only reason i would use ableton

>>53626474
A flip-top?
Where do you fuckers keep finding this classic gear?

>>53631459
there's a low sine wave element, and a higher, maybe saw wave part with a low pass filter and plenty of resonance in the mids.

I'll try and make it in FL and see what happens

>>53633700
Not that guy, but craigslist is your best bet.

>>53633700
yeah a flip top, although it can't really do much flipping anymore..

it was actually given to me by some old man in an antique shop when i was a kid for really cheap since i played bass and needed an amp. i think they go for like 2 grand now or something.

>>53633736
fuuck i dunno if i'd really get a lot of use out of an old moog but they are so sexy looking

>>53633769
>use out of an old Moog
Multitracking has been around since before the Modular Moogs. But it's not always about polyphony anyways.

>>53633690
That's why it's called Live
Then again, Cubase started as a MIDI-only application and now a lot of people use it for multitrack audio recordings. Same with Reason--no audio capabilities at first. Conversely, ProTools didn't offer MIDI sequencing in its nascent form and now you can produce entire tracks in it without a single acoustic sound source. The advent of the "true DAW" meant shared capabilities among programs. It's just a matter of your preference in workflow.
It just so happens most electronic musicians opt for Ableton Live live because they streamlined it for allowing actions on-the-fly.
But I know people who use it as their production suite.

if an effect pedal has an aux in can you use it to affect anything you send to it?

https://clyp.it/gqrpg4ax

Any constructive criticism?

>>53633807
>>53633769
What does it have to do with multitracking?

Also, the Minimoog Model D is one of the most coveted synthesizers in existence because to this day it's one of the best and most useful, not to mention user-friendly, synths in existence, monophonic or otherwise.

>>53633952
It's usually just mixed in after the effect. Not sure what effect unit you're talking abut though. If you want to process other sounds, why not just use the input?

>>53631459
>>53633705
just a quick fool around, but got semi close. with more work you could get closer.
https://clyp.it/x4p5o3w4

Essentially as I described above: have 2 bass synths, one with pure sine wave, and another with a more jagged wave. I ended up using square wave. The second synth is the important part, it should have a low pass, and a high pass filter applied (so you get mostly mid range) and then some kind of automation to push the resonance up every now and then. I used an LFO set to increase resonance. anything to provide a boost in the mid to high range every now and then.
Finally, I ran the second bass part through a light distortion (the Blood Overdrive)

>>53632981
Holy shit this is actually really good...

>>53634017
Most of the complaints I see about it are thing like "I don't find it useful because it's not polyphonic" or things of that nature. It's silly to think of how bad it would sound if it were polyphonic.

>>53634098
>tfw I always try to use the minimogueVA as a pad synth

>>53633736
I look on Craigslist for my area every day and I have never seen an analog synthesizer, much less a Minimoog, you MOTHERFUCKER
Next someone is gonna post pics of their Mellotron Mk II and their ARP2600 sitting next to a rack with their Fairchild 670 on it

>>53634154
I've been checking CL everyday for like 5 years. Good things come for those who wait.

>>53634098
Some of the "creamier" sounds it can achieve sound great as triads if you can be bothered to overdub yourself playing the intervals individually, lol

https://clyp.it/nmkes31s

overall decent beat hats sound like ass tho

>>53634222
I like using different patches and separate monophonic lines when doing polyphonic multitracking, versus doing block chord pads. I can always use a polysynth for that kind of stuff.

>>53633952
Is there a dedicated signal path for it, or...
I'm trying to imagine why you would want to sum two distinct dry signals into one wet one.

>>53627141
Logic is great. The free plugins are really good, and the sampler and drum machine synth are highly underrated.

>>53634310
Same reason they put an aux in on an effect pedal. Because guitarists want to run an entire band in a box through a mono amp.

>>53631218
Just put it away for a rainy day, mate

>>53631218
why not watch it? its only 40 minutes. your music will last forever (or until the electricity/internet dies) why not spend 40 minutes to learn something that will help your music? the more you learn about music, the easier it will be to make, and the more cool shit you'll know how to do.

>>53634412
But that's 40 minutes one could spend masturbating slowly in the mirror. Or making music. Whichever is more important.

props for using accordion but wtf is that bass tho

>>53634537
does the bass rumble your tummy?

it does rumble my tummy

I like it that way, rumbling

in my tummy

>>53634489
I think you underestimate the weight of my decisions.

>>53634354
Haven't used "Drum Machine Designer" yet, but if you're talking about Ultrabeat, it can also technically be used as a sampler, a sampling synthesizer, a straight-up synthesizer, or a sequencer. It's the baddest factory instrument in Logic besides Sculpture, which is brilliant for ambient-evolving sounds and an all-around BEAST if you fuck with physical-modeling synthesis. Among the more intuitive/simplistic ones, RetroSynth is powerful as shit and the FM synth is dope too, but Sculpture and Ultrabeat are crazy and unique as hell.

>>53634489
I think you underestimate the weight of my decisions.

>>53634508
Those two channels are probably intended to be L/R rather than 1/2 or main/aux... so yes, anything routed to the aux input can be effected along with whatever's going into the main input, but I wouldn't, unless you're in a metal/shoegaze/no-wave/post-rock/whatever band with two rhythm guitarists or something

GUYS whats a good eq software? Im tired of using fls base one even though it gets the job done

>>53629299
Did someone say warm analog bass lines?

https://clyp.it/sirmpchc

I think that should count whether you meant analog synth bass or a bass guitar recorded analog. It has both.
Mixed completely using hardware, still looking for feedback.

>>53634695
>FabFilter Pro-Q
>Logic's built-in EQ
>Any of Waves' analog-modeled EQs, especially the V-EQs, the Puigtec EQs (based on Pultec EQs), and the SSL EQ (based on-you guessed it--the classic SSL channel strip EQ)
>Slate Digital's Virtual Mix Rack plugins, based on the same shit
>Cockos' ReaFir is technically an FFT filter, but it's pretty sweet

>>53634701
the piano hook is pretty nice

I'd personally enjoy it much more sampled in an oldschool hiphop beatmaker kind of way, with sampled messy drums.. this sounds too plastic, not enough grit, noise.. very artificial, in a 80s funk kind of way.

If thats what you are into, then yes, good job. But we both know that is not contemporary music.

>>53634800
Thank you mang, would u rec flux epure?

>>53634701
I like it, but it needs less staccato and more whole notes. You have the right idea though.

Do you goys compress every track? I really only compress drums and bass sometimes

>>53634995
depends on the genre and sounds I use

some genres require heavy compression, some don't really benefit from mastering at all

also sometimes you need to glue together different sounds that don't sound well together without compression

>>53634995
If you don't run the master through some multiband compression, you're some kind of mega pleb

>>53623522
wondering if I could get some feedback, I'm new to producing and really want to improve

good thing there are so many compressed orchestra recordings

also that compressed folk music nigga that shit cray cray

need that tight boom boom club bass to go with the folk mang

Question: my tracks sound great in the car, on mmy monitors, on my phon even. But when I listen to them on shitty laptop speakers they suck. Ik I shouldnt care, its laptop speakers. Bu they sound like really bad. What do

>>53634650
what if it's cheaper than buying efx modules?

>>53635181
if they sound good on your phone they should sound good on laptop speakers. maybe get some more mid range in your songs

>>53635206
Maybe my laptops just terrible? Idk, always test a mix and master on everything before releasing and my laptop always makes em sound so gross

>>53635181
okay, so what most commercial artists do is make sure the instruments' spectral width is wide enough so you can hear all of them even on crappy speakers. this is usually done by layering multiple sounds - i.e. the kick has a low end boom and a mid rangey boop to it, so on crappy laptop speakers, you can still hear it. Same with hihats. Commercial songs are also heavily compressed with aggresive full midrange, which makes it sound good even on shitty speakers.

>>53635235
Ha I do most of that to, minus heavy compression I dont like doing that

Im on my phone so cant clyp u guys my shit but yea just asking

I asked in the last thread, but I'm gonna ask the night crowd:
how are you releasing your work?
I don't want to just upload to soundcloud, thats kind of lame and boring imo

right now, I intend to make a few "simple" "artistic" music videos and upload each to youtube.

Thoughts?

I just don't want my stuff to get lost in the shuffle, but I'm not sure how things catch fire or "go viral" etc

>>53635262
okay, so does everything sound crappy on your laptop speakers? or just your tracks?

check the spectrograph, there is probably a hole in the sound spectrum somewhere that you don't hear on good speakers, but your crappy laptop speakers accentuate it

>>53635296
Uhh some other ppls tracks sound bad to, like SOPHIEs tracks are pretty meh. But OPNS sound just as good.

>>53635276
I used to do that too.

It's a lot of extra work, but it does get people to listen to your music surprisingly well.

That's weird, since it's mostly real instruments recorded and mixed analog... the brass was the only MIDI part, and I ran it through tape after I bounced it to an audio track.
...but I also have been listening to a lot of 80s funk
>>53634994
On any part/instrument in particular, or just in general?

Thanks for the CC anons

>>53635276

Music videos are the best way to have your sound heard! It keeps an audience entertained. Not many people take this initiative but it does wonders. Youtube is like a web hotspot. It's more intimate and adds dimension to the music.

>>53635318

This. I've come to terms recently that if you're doing it all on your own it's really hard. I storyboarded my entire music video and filmed most of it too, except the exterior shots. Even then, my camera operator wasn't a film person.

What i'm considering now is getting somebody to listen to my music and tell me what they see. I'll hand them the camera and let them edit and film the whole thing to their likings. This way they can build their filming resume for future jobs and I get a music video.

Win win really.

Equifax? :V
If you wanna use it as an OFX unit, you should be fine if you have a mixer and you don't try and implement FX serially or pre-tape.

>>53623958
I do this sometimes, but only in the chords/melody/rhythm context, and only because I write straight-forward "pop" songs
>>53635318
so you've had more success with that strategy, than with other methods?
I see, I see.
what made you stop doing that?

that song was cool by the way, I like the vibe and the reverb you used.
>>53635328
so I guess, its set in stone thats what I'm doing then.

Any tips from either of you two in regards to making the video?
I really only have a few shots in mind for each video, and the concepts are very very simple (simple enough that someone who's never made a video[me] can do it alone)

>>53635276
>>53635328
this is what I want to do, but as of now I just upload on soundcloud and share it with some g+ groups

What does finanacial exchange have to do with music?

>>53635426
so you had a full-blow concept?
See, I've thought about things, but for these songs the "real" concept is not really something I can handle on a $0 budget and a first attempt, so I'm just trying to keep it SUPER simple (continuous shot of me smoking a cigarette for 3 minutes straight, type stuff)

my goal was to have everything said/done my the top of next month but I'm pretty sure that isn't happening.
>>53635489
how does that work out for you? what kind of music do you make? how many shares do you get on average?

>>53635457
yeah.. I'm mostly a social recluse, so I can't market to my friends really, and I don't know of any other ways to do it, but this method had people who would normally never listen to author music tell me their thoughts and give me feedback IRL, which was quite surprising

I stopped because I had to, this was a short term (3 months pretty much) project ended with an album, I'm probably never going to see the other person I recorded it with again.

But I'd definitely consider doing it again... especially if you have a group of people to help you, act, camera the thing. It's tons of fun.

>>53635504
random people follow me, but I don't get much shares, I'm not trying to force my music on anyone though so I don't try to spam harder, although I'm always reading up on ways to promote myself

>>53635426
dude, your beat is fucking based, but your vocals are really whack.
they're not recorded terribly, but your flow and delivery is trash. once you step that up I think you can have alot of success, because the tracks on their own catch one's ear.

>>53635497
>OFX
Outboard FX

>>53635457
Use your camera and editing tools to their full advantage. Your great friends in video production will be Adobe Lightroom. Get it and install as many presets you can find on the web. These presets make all the difference in the world.

>>53635557
Best feedback yet. One of the hardest things for me is getting over not having a rapping voice, but loving to do it anyways, but what do you mean the beat is 'based' though?

>>53635615
Based is 4chan lingo for dope, ill, good

> ull never make cool jazzy, roxy music esque type electro music

Why live

>>53635579
You realize you can't just make up your own acronyms and expect people to know them, right?

>>53635629
>4chan lingo
>who is lil b

>>53635615
I beat that the beats are sick, theyre dope, they're cool, I like them, they're interesting....etc etc
to be honest, most of the "beats" I hear on /mu/ are drivel, either pandering reductionist copy-cat trash, or just not good.
But you've clearly got an ear for grabbing samples and using your tools to your advantage.

well you know the "rapper voice" thing is a problem alot of non-black rappers have.
I don't actually know the solution, but people like macklemore and Mia and Eninem really have their own unique vocal timbre/sound, so it works for them.
practice rapping more? try imitating other rap voices until you develop your own? idk man. even sugarhill gang had weak delivery sometimes, so you'll make it eventually, I'm sure.

>>53635629
Ah, alright. I thought I knew, but I thought it meant basic, like, simple.

>>53635537
ahh, see, I'm a recluse; I have some "friends" I guess, but if I have something that's easy/worth sharing, I think the few people to whom I could say "hey i made this" would check it out.

I'm actually not a bad actress, but I don't have anyone to help me, so it's gonna be very very simple stuff, honestly, more pandering hyper/pseudo/false-artier stuff, than a "legit" music video I think.

>>53635550
okay, I see, I see. where do you get those random people from?
>>53635615
thanks anon.
Adobe lightroom? got it.
simple explanation for the uninformed while I go find a crack? hahaha

>>53635615
>rapping voice

it's called a flow

you don't "have" it, you have to earn it. you have to practice it, same as playing an instrument.

guitar arpeggios in metal music is really good analogue to this. it requires a lot of practice, it's not something you are born with or something you learn when playing blues. you have to strictly practice that and only that to learn it, but when you do, mang, the sound.

try imitating other rappers' flow. pick someone who has an interesting flow over beats similar to yours, try to imitate. soon, you will put your own spin on the flow, and it will be no longer copied, it will be yours.

>>53635658

It's difficult to compete with the grainy raspy rapping voice that majority of rappers deliver. It's like that's all they ever hear so if they listen to my music it's like... Okay.

I figured it's because I don't do much in terms of spicing my vocals with effects. I want too, but I don't know the best kind. I posted earlier here and didn't get a response.

Know of any?

>>53635731
I like this. This is solid stuff I like to hear. Thanks.

>>53635732
I mean, there are plenty of different flows, listen to young rappers, like chance or vic mensa, cats like that. "current" generation. hell, even donald glover.

in terms of effects, here are techniques I've used/know about off the top of my head
>distortion on the vocal
>parallel compression on the vocal
>the two above combined
>autotuning the vocal and then sneaking it in
>vocoding the vocal and sneaking it in or putting heavy reverb on it
>adding heavy reverb to the vocal, compressing and eq'ing the reverb and then doing shit with the resulting sound(s)
you just have to experiment and think about it honestly, you have to be creative. In what software do you work?

>>53635635
Dawg
I did not make that up
It's pretty common to hear in reference to rackmounted FX units

>>53635732
any kind of efx you want, for rap you would probably want to fuck with delays and reverb and phasers and stereo enhancers and shit. idk about distortion, but experiment.

>>53635718
I upload to any music/producer related group I can find and maybe someone from there will like my music. but sometimes some random person will start following me

>>53635826

I'm going to apply that on the bigger project I'm working on now. I'm heavily using FL Studio right now, but I am in the process of grabbing Pro Tools soon and learning some tutorials from there on.

I've made all my recent instrumentals on FL Studio.

>>53635826
effect wise

what a lot of people are doing nowadays is having an out of phase detuned copy of the voice situated somewhere further in the mix (some stereo separation might come in handy). this results in that "sick" live flow you'd get if two rappers sang the same verse at once.

also regarding your flow problem

listen to this peep

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQ90jthT7Is

his voice is literally baby tier white boi 0/10, but with the editing and technique, he sounds good

>>53635830
Google didn't yield any music related results. Gearslutz didn't turn anything up either. Outboard effects is a common term. OFX is not at all.

Yeah dawg, you did make that up. It's also a bit ironic you made fun of the other guy for using a very standard way of shortening effects.

>>53635882

Is there a tutorial on how to do that in any given program, I'm so downs to learn how to do this.

>>53635884
I'm not even the same anon dude, I'm just saying in my experience I've heard it used interchangeably with EFX, so I thought it had more widespread use.

>>53635557
i agree with him the beat is dope but the rythm, rhyme and your voice is off. i honestly don't see how people struggle with it. but you're better than everyblack person i've known that could rap. every. i used hang out with this dude who made beats and he'd switch out through different rap groups and they'd come his house to record and i'm tellin you black people fuckin suck at rap. literally they sit down with a pen and paper and it takes em two weeks to come up with " nigga i'll fuck yo bitch" or make a stupid little diss songs(which most the time they got suspended for it). blows my god damned mind. not only do the lyrics suck but jesus christ they can't make anything ryhme like all they focus on is rythem

fruity stereo enhancer and fruity phase inverter can do it in FL studio, for example

you really have to experiment with it, but what I'd do to start is put the main vocal center, duplicate it, invert phase of the duplicate, detune it a bit and maybe make it a tiny bit delayed so it sounds natural and live

>>53635863
ahh, well, at NAMM they just annouced a freeware version of PT, but if you can get a full version of pt, you'll be solid.
and my friends with PC pro tools where able to stock up heavily on cracked plugins, so thats a bonus.
>>53635882
good example there.

I may have to try that technique with my singing stuff.

>>53635963
being a poet isn't easy

>>53635994
rapping wise it kinda is. given the same amount of time it usually takes a rapper to write his lyrics i could definitely write somethin that beats atleast 80% of em.

>>53636069
okay, if you say so.

its so easy, and thats why every rapper has lots of success, right?

>>53636075
>its so easy, and thats why every rapper has lots of success, right?
If you honestly think rappers have success based on how good their lyrics are, you have been not listening to rap for at least 15 years.

>>53636075
who gives a shit about success. 80% of rappers aren't even in it for the music just for the money(which they barely make) and fame. if you wanna get famous ya gotta get good connections that's why there's so many good rappers that aren't getting what they deserve. being the best and having youtube videos and soundcloud post or what ever they're called won't get you a record deal. you have to play cat and mouse; find and build a shitload of connections. just like with any career

>>53623958
>Like I'll have a couple seconds of this brilliant idea and then it'll vanish. And when I try to open up my DAW to get it down either I freeze up and can't recall it and just end up pumping out some mediocre sounding crap or I can only loop that one sound over itself for like the entire song.

Any digital distortion wizards out there? I'm trying to get the right tone for my drum and bass growls, I've got almost every aspect of DNB/neuro production down except the right kind of distortion. I really don't want that excessive distortion but something filthy that really has a lot of punch in the mid range - in the style of Annix, Noisia, Billain etc.

As of now it feels like I've tried everything, pic related. Filtered overdrive in the upper range is ALMOST there but it tends to kill that mid range "body", even at very low settings. Trash 2 doesn't jive well with me - I understand it's a powerful tool but it's so extreme, it's either a fairly ordinary distortion unit or it's just extremely fuzzy and grainy and kills all definition. I've tried filtering it, automating the filters, using the convolve and dynamics settings and it tends to add a bit of grit but there's just too much tail for a proper bark. Same with "amp" emulations.

So far the best results I've gotten is from using The Rocket with the decadence setting and impedance at 100%, but it doesn't quite jump at you.

What I then do is use Ozone or Plugin Alliances Harmonic Distortion / Exciter tools - I usually end up with too much high frequency noise.

I even sent all the growls into an aux with an extremely high passed bit reduction unit to try and add some high frequency definition without ruining the sound. Tried all kinds of reverb as well.

I usually end up spending hours in Ohmicide or Trash 2 without a negligible improvement over a basic high filtered Overdrive setting. Any suggestions?

>>53638435
I don't know if you tried it yet, but a lot of the character from Noisia and Billain comes from layering foley on their bass sounds.

>>53634008
This is quite nice, actually

>>53638454

Yeah I've done the Billain thing of running Vocodex on a Reese, I'm not really trying to make another reese wobble, it's kind of going out of style anyway. Some of the recent tracks have fairly simple synths/stabs going on underneath the effects but they are just ridiculously full distortion-wise, and it's almost all happening in the upper mid range.. I'm not looking to get a hardware tube amp or sherman Filterbank so i'm trying to figure out reasonable alternatives here...

can any eebros suggest a good place to find an oscilloscope?

looking for some feedback on some unfinished stuff

https://clyp.it/5wy1xih2

ver1 is sort of a maybe finished product
ver2 is a less noisy alternate version

tell me which one you prefer

Teach me how to into house and garage, I'm so tired of what I currently do

>>53628355
Arpeggiate an arpeggiator. or find a good plug in.

unless you're talking about the entire feel of this song. In that case, lrn mor theory

>>53639027
Surplus stores. If you know a place that sells more electronics than RadioShack, that's a good place to start and ask questions

Alternatively, eBay.

>>53639334
>Arpeggiate an arpeggiator

whoa, never thought of that. How should I go about trying this? sampling the original arp pattern and arp that?

>>53639347
fuck i live in a pretty rural area so the best i can do in terms of electronics is the local radioshit.

>>53639027

second hand via ebay/craigslist

>>53639638
Yeah I've been watching CL. Also think I might hit the big flea market a couple towns over this sunday in hopes of finding something.

anybody here know of any electronic surplus shops in the massachusetts area? Figure it's worth a shot asking, maybe lemonbro might know somewhere.

>>53639708
First Google result. Looks promising too.

Bump for this

>>53639757
God damn it. All I got was army surplus stores when I searched that shit. Thanks anon, might be making my way up to needham tomorrow.

I like this meme.

>>53639927
come on anon.

>>53639780
Yeah, the best search term would be "electronics surplus"

I got my old scope from Ax Man, a really cool surplus chain in Minnesota.

>>53639927
i listen to your 9 minute piece of shit and this is the thanks i get?

>>53639757
>>53639780
you do it isn't a surplus shop u fuckwit, it sells loose electronics components and hifis

chill the fuck out with playing internet concierge

>>53640000
sick quads but what the fuck are you on about?

>>53640000
If you've been there, that's nice. All I did was Google it, I don't live in Massachusetts. However, is it really that unlikely that an electronics store might sell a 'scope? Where should he look instead, Wal-Mart?

>>53640000
Bro, take your own advice and chill out. I don't see you recommending alternatives.

>>53640097
oh no they definitely do have oscilloscopes, but there you're going to pay for them MSRP+. notice how the guy you are talking to mentions
>craigslist
>flea market
>surplus
which means he's looking for a bargain, not new in the box

lmao stop playing google concierge

>>53640128
>he said the word fuck!
>i better tell him to calm down!
new here?

>>53640182
thanks for your help possible-massbro. I'll just stick to scavenging CL and flea markets for now.

>>53640182
Again, I said I've never been there. Where should he go instead? You should really stop with the Internet concierge thIf, it's just making you look like and unhelpful asshole.

>>53640182
I said chill out because you keep getting all buttupset, not because you said fuck. I still recommend chilling out.

>>53640212
that and ebay probably your best bet

>>53640328
I said it looked promising and said in the post that it was Google. It's not my fault you get mad when people answer questions. I suggest lurking more, maybe get a feel of how people act in these threads, it isn't /b/.

The fact that you can't let this go proves how easy you are, Jbenny.
