1 simple rule I hope you can guys do:
please don't be assholes to those who have a different perspective on
another DAW, no matter what it is or how shitty it is. I know there are
some very laughable ones out there but ya know...
So please just be as helpful as you can.
Unless it's LMMS then you can laugh all you want.
>this is /g/ not /mu/ gtfo
We do not talk about the music as it is but how it's created and what we use and how to help
others get better
1 selfish bump ;_;
why is it so hard to find a proper build up in my music without looking at other songs..
>>51256807
>>51257116
creativity is not something we all are good. I constantly listen to music and you'd think I'd be able to do Glitch Hop by now.
>>51257133
;_; don't remind me...
>>51257152
i listen to all sorts of music. my sense of music already achieved its own taste.. it's just the technical part i always lack at.. and now that my sounds get strangers each song, i can't apply the usual things anymore. the struggle is real
Ableton, im trying to learn reaper and FL studio. that way i can use abelton much better.
pfft like a month back in the summer
since forever
Ambient electronica
the aforementioned genre
drum and bass yes
lol i dont got a fav synth
im not too focused on it so eh idk
and yes maybe
>>51257169
What genre you play with the most?
>>51257171
Ableton is FL backwards from what I've been told. I've tried it but FL is more me and people complain that it's "too easy" and too "baby."
Considering that I've heard music on Pandora from artists that make shit out of FL, there's nothing wrong with FL, It just makes it more convenient and I think /g/ hates anything easy or convenient
>>51257189
currently, dubstep like things
>>51257205
if you are doing generic eew. if you're actually to make a good variety of Dubstep good for you, but most dumpstep is shit thanks to skrillex and Datstik (w/e)
ever try tutorials online?

>I've been using a cracked DAW for 6 months and I will never get signed to a label so I'll just ask other people with no talent how to get good
>>51257222
i'm more into doing chill inducing beats which go slow
>>51257222
monstercat has decent drumstep artists that i frequent
>>51257231
6 years*
the Renoise 3.1 beta is pretty nifty, love the new digital filter DSP mainly
there's also a couple needed workflow changes that bother me a little, but I'll get used to it because it's actually better (namely, the sampler page has tab buttons for options instead of the big scrolling page)
kind of disappointed at how they screwed up the comb filter though (at the moment, it now operates in pitch mode instead of continuous frequency mode, and a handful of my tracks kind of depend on that -- they load and play fine in 3.1 because the 3.0 version is still there, I just have to copy/paste the old 3.0 DSP effect if I want to make anything in the 3.1 beta using it)

Anon, pls, don't be an ass. This thread is for people who need help in learning around the program. Talent is another story. As for me? I want to be a music Game composer.
>>51257235
sounds like Deep House
>>51257244
interesting
>>51257267
dude like a week or 2 ago I brought up Discordapp and all they could do is complain that I was shilling and I was actually trying to get those guys to test it out. We had a /g/ sever for a while and it was doing decent for like a week... but then people left and didn't show up, oh well.
But honestly, how easy it is? I think that's what they didn't like, you can literally make it look like an IRC now. You'd think that /g/ of all people would love it cause its completely private and Ddos proof.
>>51257288
nifty.
>>51257267
Yeah I'm not really impressed with the comb filter change either. There is a tool which makes it really easy to use the old one though (as well as other old tools), just right click and Add Native.

nah. It's not that, just like the anon said above,
The longer you're here, you'll see that anons hate convenience and easy.
>>51257414
I've been here for years. We don't like shills and shitty closed source crap that apparently ok because you see something catering towards laziness as a good thing.
>>51257330
Oh shit, thanks for linking that. Fucking sweet.
like, Renoise runs everything with the updated sound engine internally, but they really liked to split DSP effects up for whatever reason

>>51256807
>What DAW is yours?
Ableton Live (formerly) and Non DAW (current)
>How long you been on it?
Ableton probably about 5-6? years, Non about .75-1? I think.
>How long have you been into music?
I started freshman year in highschool on FL Studio so it's been awhile I guess.
>What genre do you play with the most?
Not sure, whatever you call using 80s synths with 7th chords and up and mostly a 4/4 beat. I like to make my synths make noise too.
>What Genre do you think you are best at?
I started in trance/psytrance style stuff but whatever I'm doing now is what I like.
>Have you thought about changing up to something else?
Not really. Non is modular enough so that I can write new software to replace what I don't like about it. It's open source too so I can draw ideas from it and JACK is pretty easy to work with. I really want to write a copy of Ableton's plugins for JACK with ncurses and/or FLTK interfaces. There also needs to be a replacement for/copy of Ableton's time stretching and pitch shifting capabilities.
>What's your favorite synth, no matter how dumb it is?
Probably my Korg Polysix and Roland Juno 106, I can't decide. The DX7 II FD sounds pretty unique though. Whatever hardware synths I end up making will probably contend for that spot too. MS-20 filters are crazy though and Prophet 5's sound amazing but I have neither. There's a lot of synths out there to really have a favorite without trying them all.
>Do you see yourself doing this way later on even if you get no where?
I'll probably be doing this as long as I have my synths and computer.
Bonus points:
>Do you plan to make Game OST later on?
I really want to attempt to make a Touhou style game so I guess I could make music for that. If someone has a gmae that needs music and asked me I guess that's a possibility also.
>>51256807
>What DAW is yours?
ableton live
>How long you been on it?
about a year. did fl for 3 years and decided since i actually owned ableton, to use that.
>How long have you been into music?
4-5 years
>What genre do you play with the most?
house/orchestral
>What Genre do you think you are best at?
house/orchestral
>Have you thought about changing up to something else?
i'd really like to do glitch hop or more agressive stuff but i just don't have it in me
>What's your favorite synth, no matter how dumb it is?
>Do you see yourself doing this way later on even if you get no where?
yeah. going to school to be an audio engineer.
>Do you plan to make Game OST later on?

>>51258442
WOOT! Someone else wants to make game music!
>>51258259
was JACK and non difficult to learn?
how long did it take you to develop proficiency?
Anybody here use bitwig enough to have an opinion on it?
>>51256807
>>What DAW is yours?
Reason
>>How long you been on it?
Dabbling in it for 12 years with nothing to show for it, slightly more serious for almost 2 years.
>>How long have you been into music?
mid-90ies, when someone first played me some Thunderdome
>>What genre do you play with the most?
Drum & Bass
>>What Genre do you think you are best at?
Least shitty: Drum & Bass
>>Have you thought about changing up to something else?
I experiment with other genres all the time, it's just a matter of finishing and releasing shit.
>>What's your favorite synth, no matter how dumb it is?
Propably RP Predator
>>Do you see yourself doing this way later on even if you get no where?
Sure, the satisfaction of just being able to do it is worth it, even if it brings me no sheckles.
>Bonus points:
>>Do you plan to make Game OST later on?
Wouldn't mind it. I love Noisia's Metal Gear Solid stuff, it's just really engaging and has a nice drive to it.
>>51256807
> What DAW is yours?
Renoise and Ableton Live mostly, but not exclusively. It all depends on what I'm doing. Fuck, I still have an old FL studio installed to mess around with occasionally.
> How long you been on it?
Ableton about 4 years or so... Renoise... Longer, don't remember. Before Renoise I used to dabble with FastTracker II, and before that with other similar things.
> How long have you been into music?
On PC, a good 20 years now. Other things musical, dunno... 20-25 years
> What genre do you play with the most?
At the moment that would be drum and bass again. Dunno why
> What Genre do you think you are best at?
Nothing.
> Have you thought about changing up to something else?
I pick up whatever I feel like. I've played around with juke, had quite a bit of fun with UKG, even with straight up techno. Just do whatever you like, play around until you get tired of it.
> What's your favorite synth, no matter how dumb it is?
My favourite synths are the korg volca series. They're very affordable and good value for the money.
> Do you see yourself doing this way later on even if you get no where?
The path as a career musician is not for me. I'd grow to hate it and I have a job that offers a more steady income.
> Do you plan to make Game OST later on?
No, but if someone wants to use something it's all in the creative commons, so they can.
>>51256807
>What DAW is yours?
FL Studio. Pirated until the fucking devs add FLAC export. Literally no excuse to not have already done this after 8 years of users requesting it. Shit makes my blood boil. Been wishing to find a better DAW than FL but everything out there isn't as intuitive as it, has a lack of features, or the piano roll isn't as top notch.
>How long you been on it?
4 years, going on to 5.
>How long have you been into music?
Ever since I've started playing Guitar Hero. Somewhere between 8-10 years.
>What genre do you play with the most?
I'm not partial to genres, but also I'm not a fucking fedora abstract shithead when it comes to music. I make whatever inspires me atm be it Ar Tonelico, J Dilla, Flylo, some anime music, or Undertale's soundtrack.
>What Genre do you think you are best at?
Best pieces I've made involved a piano accompanied with a cello, or solo piano. Classical I suppose? Though, I am quite fond of Waltz.
>Have you thought about changing up to something else?
I do that all the time. Hardest part is getting my creative vision and the timbre of my sounds down to perfection.
>What's your favorite synth, no matter how dumb it is?
Tie between Massive/FM8. Though I like Kontakt more of the two even if that's considered a sampler.
>Do you see yourself doing this way later on even if you get no where?
Yup, there are a lot of opportunities to be made career-wise with music. Particular with mediums where music is used to enhance an experience. Most musicians are too hard headed/creatively inept to see them, nor want to expand their skill set to take advantage of them.
>Do you plan to make Game OST later on?
See above, make your inference. :)

In the dark would be so much better if it was mastered right.
>>51261355
>www.soundcloud.com/monstaboi
Disagree. I don't think there's much there to work with, apart from the funny sample. Drums and wobble sound really cheap.
>3/10
>would scrap
Btw. how do you guys organize your WIPs and samples?
I've layed out mine like this for a while now, but I think there's lots of potential for improvement:
> genre
> --release candidates
> --track starters (like at least 8 bars finished)
> --fooling around with sounds (basically short preset demos and the like)
>>51256807
>Logic Pro X
>Around 3.5 years
>Since I was a child, been into creating music more from about 12
>A lot of heavy rock/ metal

>I sometimes experiment with edm as a whole, but I often can't finish a song
>Absolutely. Going to Uni to study it and hopefully I'll get something out of that

>a track I'm working on: https://clyp.it/gx0w3slr It's probably shit out of key, I wouldn't know
Nope, sounds good and I think you know it, attention whore you!
Though I would prefer if the kick punched through the bassline more. Otherwise it could get monotonous over time. Really dig the lead sound.
As for darker, heavier D&B, there's loads and loads of tutorials on that on youtube and DOA. Even some of the big names explained some of their techniques.

Operator is cool, though that depends on whatever I do right now
>Do you see yourself doing this way later on even if you get no where?
I tend to visit the places I've already been at sometimes, though I've stoped doing all that public stuff a while ago because of personal reasons
>Do you plan to make Game OST later on?

>Wow, that's pretty fucking neat. Had a listen of the original and gotta say, your version sounds way better.
thanks man. I'm never sure if what I'm doing is good or not because I've been listening to a lot of weird rave music and I jam to basically any loop I create so I'm always happy to get feedback.
>>51266224
Sounds decent. Try a heavier sidechain on that kick + bass to give the kick more room to punch through. Not too heavy though if you want to leave it chill.
This is what I like so much about DnB, the groove is always great but you can pack so many different feels to it.

>>51257267
Renoise and other trackers are the only DAWs I can enjoy using. Other DAWs just kill all of my joy and creativity. I think it's something about being able to see everything all the time and not having 2000 windows with piano rolls and arrange views and stuff.
>>51266110
>Nice. You ever think about going more synth-heavy for a Children of Bodom kind of sound?
Not so much. I'm more into the guitar riffing, but synth definitely has it's place. Depends upon what the song calls for I guess. Here's another more guitar focused:

>Yup, there are a lot of opportunities to be made career-wise with music. Particular with mediums where music is used to enhance an experience. Most musicians are too hard headed/creatively inept to see them, nor want to expand their skill set to take advantage of them.
But that's wrong. I've been trying to get into scoring (ANYTHING) for years and I assure you the competition is fierce. I scour the internet and jump on every possible opportunity. What I find is that anyone is a position to buy music is drowning under offers from highly skilled composers basically ready to work for free because they want exposure. It's a buyer's market.
Don't let this bring you down though, but know that if you want to make money with it you will need to be a hell of a businessman.
