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.

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

what is the best DAW for transcribing actual songs into MIDI tracks?
>>52462360
i try to make it once a week and maybe 2 times depending on how well it did the day before.
I've been doing it almost weekly
>>52462419
google "mp3 to midi"
i mean considering whatever song you can think of, google it with like "thriller midi" and you got it.
hello I am the ableton dude from last night
do you think we'll get mcfuckinbanned for posting our music
Dead ass chat room, would make a great eno studio.
Only recently made the jump from 2.8 to 3.1
>tfw glide/pitch commands still only work for samples and not for VST instruments
At least stacking samples and instrument-linked effect chains are now a thing
>>52462702
alright I'm trying to upload to clyp.it but Comcast seems to be throttling my upload speed to like 18 kilobits a second
>>52462676
I see. I take it you have a bandcamp/soundcloud and everything?
>wrong screenshot
Oh well, at least the difference between 2.8 and 3.1 is quite visible
Also,
>What DAW is yours?
Renoise 3.1
>How long you been on it?
About 8 years now
>How long have you been into music?
about fifteen years overall
>What genre do you play with the most?
french-style electrohouse á la Justice
>What Genre do you think you are best at?
Straight techno/dub techno
>Have you thought about changing up to something else?
I've done everything from producing beats for/with hip hop artists to full-blown band stuff anyways
>What's your favorite synth, no matter how dumb it is?
Audio Damage Basic, because it has some of the most beautifully clean yet warm sounding waves out there
Other than that, the Polysix VST is pretty damn great
>Do you see yourself doing this way later on even if you get no where?
Yeah
>>52462702
nah, people do all the time.
>>52462729
we need people in there who will stay, that's the problem
>>52462874

Anyway, this is "Owari". It's a drum and bass track that I've been working on on and off for a bit over a year.
Honestly I don't even know what subgenre of DnB to call it.
Before anyone points out the obvious flaws in it, it's a WiP.
The biggest issue happens around 4:03. There's supposed to be a transition. There is none. I just haven't written it yet
Another thing is the mastering is abysmal. I started this November 2014 as a a one-off track so I used one of Ableton's preset mix/master plugins. However, it turned into something legit. Instead of doing the proper thing and fixing it before it got out of hand, I just went with it and now it sounds murky and cluttered as fuck.
>>52462950
I'll stay, I need a place to talk about shit like this to keep me motivated.
>>52463018
sure dude!
yeah im tarrabyte on almost everything so if you wanna hear my soundcloud

Audacity, hands down. If you're looking for something that is both intuitive and sophisticated then you need not look any further. I've been producing on audacity for many years now and I'm about to be famous because of it. What more could you ask for?

Is there a crack for it?
>>52463186
Demo version has almost everything besides rendering songs. And since you have to ask questions like that, it's likely too complicated for you anyways.

its called the "I heard dubstep and now I want to be a dubstep artist" starter pack. good luck, but Dupstep is going to die soon. I can feel it.
>>52463429
>I like to make everything harder for myself.
Legit dude, no one here has ever said"I use audacity to make music"

i was talking about old school dubstep like El-B or benga
tfw drum and bass is dead
It's 2016, I hope you guys are doing interesting things

you gotta have kinect or it wouldn't work
>>52463476
I'm a resident VJ at the longest running dnb night in the US
I wouldn't say it's dead but attendance hurt this past year, and like, Phace came through and did mostly drumstep.
The times, they are a-changin', that's for sure
>tfw i cant into melodies
any melody i attempt sounds like garbage and yes ive been reading up on music theory for a couple months now i just cant seem to create an enjoyable melody
>>52463471
ah ok them by all means, make yourself a legend.
>>52463511
what really sucks is that I was born too late to see it in its hayday. Really bums me out considering I listen almost exclusively to it
>>52462792
>korg polysix vst
ma nigga.
>>52463531
>legend
is this sarcasm? there are still artists that do old school style dubstep like requake and i think widdler still makes music. look up riddim its basically old school dubstep reborn and its starting to catch on.
Is optic fiber cable better than aux, and is there a way to measure it?
whats the best way to learn sound design/mixing i can produce music but i have to use mainly presets and i have no clue when it comes to mixing.
>>52463585
im trying to keep people motivated dude

>>52462792
I'm on Linux using Renoise, have been since 2.1. The growth of this DAW is absolutely insane.
I don't use any VSTs so I have no idea how much pain that may bring you, but also its the plugin's responsibility to configure the glide, as with the pitch. You can access the plugin parameters in the pattern editor as well. http://tutorials.renoise.com/wiki/Effect_Commands#Device_Commands
>>52463459
>"I use audacity to make music"
Anyone who does is a fucking retard
>>52463186
Quit being a nigger, anyways the demo is very well featured unlike DAW demos similar to FL that prevents you from accessing your previous saves.
If you were so curious you should've checked tpb or kat in fhe first place.
>>52463877
Are you perhaps referencing the instr. Automation and Midi control? Since I actually understand what >>52462792 is getting at. And it's not the exact thing that we'd want.
Switching to a numeric parameter instead of the natural alphabet combination is really disappointing to say the least, and breaks the natural thought of hey 0gXX will glide this vst's pitch easy.
Also yeah I agree this growth is absolutely crazy! So much cool stuff since they made redux, though I'm sticking with 3.0 until I finish my ep's. I definitely used the comb filter and all other dsp's that have changed in 3.1.
