I'm feeling inspired, but that will pass as soon as I open my daw. It always does.
What do? How do you niggas stay focused?
>>60499210
It's hard to stay focused man, but for me I like to think to myself "Alright I'm gonna finish a song today/tonight that HAS to happen." If I'm in the middle of a song and feeling a bit burnt I'll take a small break and fuck around on youtube, play some playstation while listening to what I have arranged so far, or listen to some records for possible samples while chilling.
Bump.

That's a dangerous advice, mate.

think away from your daw what it is you need to do in the daw.
example: "im gonna work on this melody idea. how should i record it?"
that always helps me. spending the first 30 minutes in the daw answering a question is a good way to just dive right in.
>>60499481
Damn I feel dumb for not realizing that, but fair enough man.
>>60499604
You cheeky cunt, I saw your clyp.it and started listening ready to give feedback but then I realized I already did your piece lol solid advice though.
>>60499604
That is actually reasonable. I gotta start approaching this shit in a more structured way, and I've been promising myself to do that, but every time there's some other shit to do that takes priority. Fuck life.

I can't type right now, sorry.

not my clyp. i dont know why it posted the greentext...
>>60499743
think about it this way. recording used to be EXPENSIVE. before you did ANYTHING the studio had to schedule what you were doing, when, and for how long. even now adays if a band is gonna go record an album, you sit down and say "okay thursday we are gonna work on drums so we need this signal chain, these microphones, and plan for this".
it is extremely difficult to feel the underlying pressure when you are fucking around in a DAW in your bedroom. sometimes thinking about the bigger picture of "what do i want, when do i want it done and how do i do that" keeps momentum afloat.
just keep working and getting small victories.
>>60499828
composition sounds really good so far. I think you just need to flesh out some more parts.
mix still sounds pretty rough, lots of muddyness around 100-200hz on those strings/bass.
>>60499210
You have a shit workflow, that's why.
>>60500270
What can you do in order to stay organized?
>>60500270
Yeah, well, no shit.
>>60500307
Just go play some playstation and watch youtube until you get back on track.
>>60500405
That's a dangerous advice, mate.

Help, /prod/. I downloaded ominisphere 2.0 on mac but can't find a way to crack it. Could someone help me ;_;
how the fuck do i convert aiff to wav? itunes wont read the aiif files and audacity isnt either. i have some tracks that are in aiff format and ableton wont take them either so i need to convert them. online converters can convert the files to anything BUT wave. shits annoying
>>60500478

Use FFmpeg to convert anything to anything.

Whoops this is windows-only, next time use a better OS instead of Mac :^)
>>60500307
try building a startup template that has a lot of routing already done with organized track groups etc. it will save tons of time and prevent you from having to organize as you go.

I even put a few of my own presets on each track so i have stuff ready to go on a whim

im trying to figure out what to get my roomy for christmas and i think something music related would be pretty thoughtful but im still having trouble deciding on something. we're both just hobbyist/bedroom producers. he does more folksy acoustic singer songwriter stuff. he's already got an interface, bunch of microphones, a blue usb microphone/recorder thing, keyboard, and guitars.
i cant really think of anything to get him, can i get some suggestions around the $80 range? i was thinking of maybe a vocal shield. thatd kinda be useful to both of us.
>>60500731
I installed this, what should i do now?
>>60500839
the only thing that is formulaic with a pre-routed template is the mixdown, which needs to be if you want to be efficient.

>>60503608
i dont wanna trash this too much but here's my thoughts
there's too many different melodic lines going on and they don't all lock in nicely
you can hear the bar lines cause everything sorta stops - there's like zero release on the synth envelope
the kinda middle easterny little plinky melody is ok
the square wavey bass thing is ok
the drums are ok
the sawtoothy synth thing is really messy and the part needs to be simplified or taken out
the longer notes panned to the right i think you could turn into two note chords that change slower?
i think the tempo could stand to go a bit faster too
>>60502918
>dood you should read up on how midi works XDDDDD
>>60504494
we all gotta thank bob moog for inventing polyphonic midi with the polymoog
why do my pads/leads/chords sound so convoluted, specially when I change notes?
should I filter more? change speed? attack?

>>60504639
the rhodes-y sound is completely out of phase, which is not only extremely annoying, it also means it's COMPLETELY gone when the track is played in mono. always double check your mixes on mono compatibility, this is a no-go
the overall mix feels very dry and static, experiment more with different room sizes as you build up and take away again elements.
in terms of spectral balance, timbres and compression it's fine
I don't know what to thing about that random ending, though
>>60503277
this is pretty cool
>>60504633
post an example. could be a lot of things, including just picking the wrong notes.
>>60504843

you don't need to completely invert it to make it wide, maybe just delay one side 10-20ms-ish till you like the wideness and it still works in mono
>>60500969
Monotron delay. Cheap as shit but it has a rather special delay.
>>60505249
nah i tried that and i pretty much felt like either stereo invert or keep it in mono so i'll go with mono
i had tried that and fine tuned it to the tenth of a milisecond and still didnt really like it as much as it before but it sounds fine regular desu
maybe i'll apply a slight pitch down in one ear

it sounds like a preset. idk how else to put it
>>60507074
I can't tell you how to feel man, and truly there really is no actual moral fault with using presets, but I empathize with your feelings. What I suggest is that you look at that patch and how it's programmed and learn from it, it sounds to me like there are a few envelopes triggering and shaping sounds, a few different sound sources generating those sounds, and probably much more going on.

Does anyone know what these knobs do exactly? There seem to function as a dry/wet knob that mixes in the unfiltered signal with the filtered but I think I might be missing something.
The manual says
>The filter's envelope level can be adjusted with the big level knob to the right.
Can anyone proficient at sound design explain this to me?
How do i make vaporwave? Like i know the lazy way is to slow down 80s tracks, but how do i get that 80s sound to begin with?
>>60509390
Ask your dad
>>60507948
Even that post was a waste of time, get it together man
>>60509150
The envelope level knob, also known as the amount knob , quite simply controls the amount that the envelope (controlled by the adsr faders you see in filter module A and B ) affects the filter. Depending on your envelope settings it can sort of sound like a wet/dry knob too I guess, although that's not what it is.

What do you guys think about using a MPC for music production? Would you consider it outdated?
>>60510902
if the workflow works for you then it's not outdated; I use a 20+ year old rack-mount sampler with zip disks for sample storage and I love working with it.

Is anyone familiar with drum machines? What is the best one you've come across?

I like that the Alesis SR18 has an instrument input, a headphone jack, as well as the option for foot switches. Are there any other drum machines like this but maybe have a better user interface or maybe a wider variety of sounds? What about the Korg ER1, or is that mostly used for bleeps?

>>60513709
nice rhythms son. makes me think of mars volta and some of the more insane retro console games.
Drumming sounds a bit too programmed though, maybe get some rides and snare slightly off the beat, so it still sounds 'on' but more natural. some tom fills are painfully triggered, might want to invest in some decent drum kit library or pay close attention to those fills and their automation / exact timing. stormdrum has a good variety of electronic and acoustic kits and other random sounds / metals / large percussion
>>60512664
Add a simple delay, unsynced, with a several ms on each side. Then convert the stereo signal to mono

>>60513709
Sounds like shitty rpg boss music. Your melody is like a bassline and then you have this clusterfuck of signals over the top. Your drums, where to begin.
1st song youve made?
>>60507347
not bad for the genre, you need to alternate that kick pattern though, and it shouldn't sync up with the "urvything" sample, try to have things happening in layers, the kicks doing one pattern, the samples doing another, complementary pattern, then high hats doing something else. Its a fine balance between hold basic interest and over cluttering. Usually about 2 or 3 patterns simultaneously is a bare minimum. most well produced electronic pieces with have up to 6 to 10 contrasting or complimentary ideas happening at any given moment, with minimal techno ranging from 1 - 6 ish different ideas. Some more complex electronic music would have many more layers, stockhausen or babbit or nancarrow.
I hate the lead synth from1:30, stacatto (short notes) should never really be a lead, you can use them to help accentuate the long notes in a lead, but you really need to work on writing melodies. Try singing or whistling something and recording it, then working out the melody in your DAW from the recording. Can lead to much more natural sounding melodic ideas. Mixing and effects use is decent, I would probably chose a different kick sample though.
Do my speakers just happen to be heavy or does the mass itself have a function in speaker design?

you should be able to find a sounfont player, most DAWs have them or you can find a free one.

Is there a way to completely seperate MIDI and BPM in ableton? When you change BPM in ableton the entire midi signal changes too, that shit is annoying, especially because i want to change tempo in the middle of the song sometimes. Also, because of Ableton tying everything you do to the BPM i almost feel pressured to stay on one static BPM all the time. It really cripples my creativity.

It lacks a leading synth or vocals.
It's a pretty cool loop but it's a loop.

i thought wsn was only emoh now. how does he (and i guess all of owsla) get small simple sounds to sound so huge but still have their own space? just compressing the shit out of everything?
https://clyp.it/vrywzoyu
how does it sound?
is it worth to get an hardware sampler? I mean with a controller and a DAW you can do everything and even faster
>>60515880
it's more preference than technical capability that you would get a hardware sampler for
>>60515894
mfw there are people who actually believe this

thanks
weird how he doesnt use the impulse setting or a drum rack to make a drum beat
but I did what he did when I started out
sometimes sidechaining can be too prominent I feel, like you get these constant volume/position shifts in the other instruments/sounds everytime the sidechained kick comes in
>>60514110
Thanks anon. Actual constructive crit is hard to come by around here.
>>60515672

It's too late anon, too late
>>60515880
Hardware sampler is about as efficient as hardware that controls a software sampler (maschine, push 2). All of which are much more efficient than pointing and clicking with a mouse.

>I mean with a controller and a DAW you can do everything and even faster
Is the first statement a question, as it has a question mark after it I'm guessing it is?
It's just a little bit confusing as your second statement is implying you already know and even say a controller and DAW does everything and even faster...and the first statement of asking is implying you don't own a hardware sampler...fuck I'm confused.
Just carry on using a DAW and controller for your sampling then as it's better obviously.

I'm looking at it as well, especially old Akai's, but dumping my samples from my computer to floppy's or CD's just to load it up on hardware seems like a waste of time.
If I had the money I would, but I want more hardware synths than I want a sampler.
>>60516299
M8 they are perfectly reasonable replays to your question? If you actually want some advice on hardware samplers why don't you post a proper or specific question?
>hey guys should I a truck? A car and trailer are better and faster
>>60516399
Yeah you should a truck.
>>60516341
I use my sampler quite a lot, but in all honesty I just use it as a sampler so I sample stuff onto it rather than having a huge library of sounds on it, or I will have a drum kit that I like to use on a floppy. It's no hassle really, I'm pretty chilled when I go into the studio so I'm not in any hurry that I need access to all my samples immidiatly.
>>60516409
I think to a truck, can trailer after behind.
GUYSES
How do you find inspiration? Do you just came up with an idea and develope the music from there? do you listen to the genere you want to make and try to imitate it at least a bit? do you listen to much much music?
>>60516471
tbf I don't know enough about the actual limitations of a S2000 or something. In terms of an MPC I would definitely use it like that. I kinda want both as well, for different reasons.
>>60515880
Maybe an ESX-1, Octatrack, or MPC, but skip shit like those old Akai rack mounts.

the kick and clap are kinda basic imo but it sounds OK

Mostly everything you said.

Jack Eww
>>60517836
drum work is good but you and I both kno you need to work on them melodies
Holy fuck am I bad at mixing, my ears are bleeding. Every time I get to the mixing phase I fuck up everything I did. I made so fucking fat deep bass with sausage fattener my ears hurt. God damnit. Fuck everything. I kind of know what I want but I just can't make it happen.
>>60517363
Your reverb is tacky, don't do that. maybe longer tail on the kick or at least get rid of that high end, please.
>>60518854
thanks, you too generic indie producer

the 3 guitar chords aren't in tune with the bass in the beginning.
Give me feedback.

I made this synth, any advice on how to get rid of that annoying high pitched wavy thing?

okay what synth are you using? It's probably just a knob you're overlooking.

the resonance? what are you talking about?

use the space more

maybe. Just the thing that makes it so annoying, it sounds like it's bumpy

sounds neat. personally i want more reverb and delays on it but thats just me
>>60520723
does it bump in the whip though
>>60520723
this is actually dope as hell, lower the bass though. Make it deeper and quieter, maybe add light reverb
first time posting, just something I'm fiddling with.

Listen to tracks I like and try to recreate them, draw pictures of visualizations of tracks I like, listen closely to tracks I like and take note of elements and techniques and motifs and try to implement them
>>60514929
the heavier the better
the heavier something is the less it will vibrate and the lower the frequencies at which it will vibrate.
>>60519481
Anyone?
>>60524097
not my type of music so no comment, technically you have a huge problem with your master compressor causing 'pumping'.
when the kik drops it's dragging the level of the track down momentarily right when you want maximum punch, stop over compressing, preserve dynamic range.
>>60522959
Is it a good idea to weigh it down with heavy objects, as long as you're not completely crushing the speakers under something too heavy to hold?
>>60524399
that won't do anything
>>60524399
>>60524399
no, it won't help.
isolate with proper acoustic speaker pads is all you can do, don't use any old foam, that's no good.

Do you guys find it harder to write/play when high?
Specifically after smoking
Hi /prod/
Tried to quickly write off some ideas in a sketchy form, what do you think of it? https://clyp.it/ebs1thxf
>>60522366
Your low end is way too loud
Sounds nice though
>>60520190
Sweet.
I'm okay with the current state of delat/reverb
(Also aren't some sounds from the printercore kit? )
has anyone here built a eurorack synthesizer? I'm already competent with synthesis and patching, but I have questions about this particular format.
>>60517003
not even that hard, fuck you die
I want to get something compact under $800 to make stuff from minimal techno to chill drum and bass, away from the computer. Preferably battery powered but doesn't have to be, basically a small groovebox with some kind of sampling function and synthesis (basic filtered chords, plucks, subs, etc nothing too complex).
Was looking at the Electribe sampler but I'm not too sure on the synthesis side of it. And I like the Teenage Engineering OP-1 but it seems expensive and limited for what it is, the workflow seems rather slow and menu driven.
Should I just go for the Electribe sampler? Anything else I should look at before I buy?
