>>52493508
practice. write a lot of tunes.
>>52493144
always worth spending that extra time to make a track killer. any less than 5 hours spent on a track, it probably isn't going to be that good.
Have you guys heard about Dr Drum?
Let me lay it all down for you:

Creatively, I've barely started.
I just started giving a shit about the EQ, so I'd like some feedback, specifically about what sounds wrong or out of place.

THIS is the real power of DR Drum!
EXCELLENT
>>52495451
Sounds nice, would probably fit as the soundtrack for an anime or video game. Ends a bit abruptly though. Where'd you get that twinkle sound and how did you make that background pad, I'd like to make something similar.
>>52495451
sounds like fucking elevator/lobby/boring between shows on the tv music.
your drums are really lame & quit.

pretty good production-wise. I felt the panning synth panned too much. kick and bass are pretty good in the mix though, they dont interfere with each other.

the twinkle is a "bell tree"
Whelp I'm having some trubble with my new interface.
I've been through interface hell lately:
-Mbox blows up from (presumably) shorted phantom power
-Have to find replacement but have no money, replace with Alesis iO Hub for $50 (works fucking awesome what a steal!)
-After couple days Input 2 just dies, so have to upgrade to an M-Audio... now costing me a hundred bucks.
-Works awesome except with a particular pair of mics. All hell breaks looks when I try to use them... which is especially shithouse because THEY'RE BRAND NEW AND WORK FINE WITH MY OTHER PREAMPS.
Fuckin' hell.

>find focusrite saffire 6 usb (cause lolwindoze)
>on clearance
>$125, instant cop
>works perfectly
>still works perfectly
>wow, motherfucker works
>>52495620
I was just looking for advice on the production end, but thanks anyway.
>>52495658
Thanks, I guess the kick and bass working together well was kind of a nice coincedence, I didn't focus on that too much. And you're right, I that was a chime tree. It's really a nice sound.
>>52495773
I don't have that kinda cash, and also I was returning my Alesis and had to choose from what they had in stock as an exchange.
Also the Focusrite works fine on Windows or Mac, as does the M-Audio. Problem is something to do with the phantom that doesn't agree with those particular mics but they work fine with all my other preamps - even one of them I set to 24v and it worked fine so idunno.

>that image
have you not heard of asio4all?
>>52495995
Yeah I have. It's like Mac's Core Audio but for Wydnas. I get it, but you don't have to stifle my lelz.
