I have amazing music locked away in my head but shitty plugins for my midi :(
I need something easy to program my middy with the sounds.
What's the best DAW for a retard like me?
Just downloaded Ableton. Gonna make my first track. Any absolute beginner advice? (Not about music theory but just production on DAW)

What DAWs should I look into?
>>60983029
whichever one looks appealing to you, none of the stuff you listed really has anything to do with what daw you're gonna use
>>60981850
How about give us some vsts?
>>60983245
what kind of vsts?
>>60983512
THat are better than one "edm producer starter pack"?
But I prefer the ones that are used in UK Hardcore.
>>60983561
i dunno, i like the korg legacy stuff a lot for synths, other than that i mostly use kontakt or just make my own sounds from sampling stuff, it was more of a dig at how people always just list the popular synths immediately when somebody says they want a vst to make sounds with. too many people jump immediately to programming your own synth patches when the conversation turns to sound design
so I'm fucking around with the massive VST on ableton and i cant find the current note value anywhere on my screen
Like say I was hitting an f# on the keyboard, where do I see that on the screen? Fruitly loops has it live....
>>60985344
why not just look down at the keyboard? i dont know dick about theory but i know which note is which on a keyboard
do any of you guys know if you can record a pattern on to the roland system 1? it doesnt seem to have a record function button and i havnet seen a video about programming it.

Speaking about logic plugins, could they work on Windows DAWS?
>>60980823
FL is versatile. Get a USB interface, and you can do anything

no, because audio units use code that interacts with the apple audio libraries.
I-is Garageband acceptable here?
It's the only thing I have atm

this is a beat I'm working on right now, I'm going for a dirty south TI type feel. any suggestions or critiques? I'm aware the first synth note sounds like shit and is out of tune, I'm not sure why as it sounds fine in my DAW so I'm working on that.
https://clyp.it/xre5s42z
WHY DOES THIS KICK SOUND SO SHITTY
https://clyp.it/dt3g3mse
>>60988180
I honestly could barely hear the kick, have you tried sidechaining it? could help it cut through the low end of the mix more. maybe a different kick and turn it up a little too, I think the sidechaining would help the most though.
>>60980429

If you're still here, I think your drums need to be roughened up. They're too soft and mellow right now. I like the other instruments though.

Wondering if this break-to-outtro section is too cheesy tb quite h. its obviously not mastered, and I have a lot of trouble with drums. generally incompetent I'd say, I had to get a good computer just because my projects are so messy and stupid that my old one couldn't run them

Any tips? What types of music is he sampling here?
anybody got ideas for gifts for electronic musicians that are past the $100 mark but below $250? I recently got asked by a parent and I have no clue, and I don't want to be a dick and say I want cash.
I've been considering the critter and guitari pocket piano

one of the volcas? maybe some kind of midi controller?
>>60989654
I've considered new cans, but anything I want to replace my current ones with are above the price point, and I'd have to buy them myself, same with monitors.
>>60989659
>volcas
Good idea, but I already have the keys and beats, don't really want the sampler cause I want to pick up an electribe s.
>midi controller
I'm good on that end, mostly looking for small noise makers and synths to fit in my live rig.
>>60989757
hmm... a couple of monotrons or pocket operators maybe? i dont think there's a whole lot in that price range in terms of synths
>>60989243
cool, thanks!

Does this track sound robotic or otherwise painfully computer like? I tried to make it sound like a real band.
>>60990630
It's all of us, forging the frequencies of the gods. Dabbling into the esoteric mathematical universe from the most primitive echelons to the profoundly infinitely unimaginable. It's quite exhilarating.
>>60991057
Your vsts aren't good enough to sound remotely like a real band (particularly the drums). You should go full electronic imo, the composition isn't bad. Or you could get good at real instruments.
>>60979923
Here's a WIP dump, if you've got nothing better to do maybe you could pick one and comment on it?

You're out doing something, maybe grocery shopping, and this awesome song idea pops into your head. You want to get it out of your head into a DAW, but you're nowhere near your computer and by the time you get there you might forget it.
How do you put your idea down and secure that crap so you don't forget it? Are there any apps for that purpose?
>>60988705
lmao this is weak as shit
almost cringy
just put it on newgrounds for someone to use it for shitty background music for their shitty game
>>60991322
If an "awesome song idea" just pops into your head, there is a 99% chance it's recycled from something you heard recently. So don't bother.
>>60991057
Thats pretty cool. Obviously it sounds like guitar pro 3, but I like the music. Just wish it was properly recorded
>>60991363
whatever, basic chord progressions aren't anyones property. steel whatever is in your head and make a song out of it, no one will notice or care, nor should they
>>60991337
we should really add a constructive criticism only rule to the op (if anybody would bother posting it anymore, that is) to cut down on useless posts like these
so I am more or less finished with my track and its almost all midi this time. my "mastering" usually consists of trying to keep all my weird shitty recordings under control so every track can be heard.
Im pretty happy with how this sounds already, with 0 equalisers. Should I still just add one to every track and do all the standard shit like lock down the high freqs in bass tracks etc. just in case?
>>60991508
basic chord progressions aren't awesome.
>>60991322
Caustic is OK, consider getting it if you have a large touchscreen phone, the piano roll is cumbersome otherwise.
>>60991720
but you dont come up with awesome complete song ideas at the store without realizing whether or not this is a song youve heard before.
>>60988998
chord progressions, variation, filter automation, synth patches and switch up that synth in the background
work on that

TW: COPIOUS SIGNAL CLIPPING
>>60988998
terrible drums
>>60992002
was expecting drums to switch to a jungle esq breakbeat wouldve been kind of cheesy though
not bad my man
I think some of the clipping adds character to the track try outboarding it to tape or consider an emulation
kind of has a early 2000 late nineties feel
>>60992187
hard to do jungle at 190bpm lol. would have sounded terribly fast. thanks though. i've considered using tape but i dont really see the appeal
the clipping is entirely emulated. it sounds identical to clipping but it rests right under 0 the whole track. i use GClip to achieve that and i basically use it instead of mastering.
>>60991322

Question.
So, if I want to produce an album, how the fuck do I avoid to have the tracks at different volumes?
I have heard about normalization, but wouldn't that cut all the dynamics?
>>60991226
I like the first one, and if you're trying to make your track sound like it's underwater at the beginning , I think you should cut some of the lows, and throw a flanger or chorus on some stuff.
I'm really liking the third WIP too
Is it possible to ever produce GOOD EDM without having any musical background?
>>60991828
maybe YOU don't..
>>60993178
just feel like if that were to occur you should see a doctor
>>60993120
>Is it possible to ever produce GOOD EDM
no
>>60991828
>complete song ideas
Who said it was complete? It could be partial mental snippets that the artist could build the rest of the track upon.
This is my wip. Feel like its ready with some cleaning and some kind of tweak to get an intro going, but Ive heard it too much tonight. Fresh ear feedback would be great. Open for tips or critique on absolutely anything
https://clyp.it/psn3bxw1
Holy fuck senpai. What the fuck has happened to /prod/ recently? It's turned into a total shitfest. Is anyone here over the age of 12? /prod/ is full of shit posts and memes whereas 6 months ago it was a cozy thread where everyone talked about their prods, gear and gave feedback on whips.
>>60989374
>What types of music is he sampling here?
speed it up and find out senpai
nosdam has said in interviews he sampled old easy listening records and other stuff he's got crate digging at thrift stores and picking up shit no sane person would ever want nowadays.

Do any of you have dark synth for ableton?
https://www.ableton.com/en/packs/dark-synth/
If so, please share!
So I live in a small-as-fuck apartment and needed a place to record.
I am not allowed to mount rails on the walls for noise-treatment, so I looked up alternate solutions.
Here is what I came up with after a little research.
I know it seems small, but space is severely limited where I live. I always record sitting down anyway, so it works out. I just throw some fuck-huge blankets over it and it works out pretty good.
My non-USB microphone still sounds like dogshit though. The USB is a nicer mic, but it sounds awesome inside my poorfag blanket fort.
Have you guys ever made anything /prod/-related?
>>60983029
Holy fuck, are you me? I am using a four-track recorder, Bass Chorus Pedal as a vocal processor, and a shitty $30 mic.
>>60980987
this is complete bullshit

Thanks anon
>>609957
Are you laughing because I am clearly retarder and poor? Because I honestly don't blame you.
no idea what to do with this
I don't think I even like it
I'm new to FL12 and only wanted the reverb on the first 8 measures and idk how to do that
https://clyp.it/lk0c3onn
I feel like it needs vocals and it also sounds really generic and not complex enough but I'm interested in what you guys have to say. I'm trying to go for a Luca Lush-y future bass sound
>>60993806
I suck at critique but it is very chill.
Made this today, haven't even started EQing it yet but I'm liking how it's turning out so far.

follow up, this is the sound I'm really interested in
https://soundcloud.com/lucalush/the-vapors-lucalush-flip
>>60996324
>reverb on the first 8 measures
automate the reverbs level, (the knob to the right of the reverb on the mixers effect slot) , the dry / wet signal, or if you're using a return, automate the send level to 0 after 8 measures.
the chords are ok so far, could use a bass, and a catchy melody.
What do you guys think about this - https://soundcloud.com/derision/batshit
Going for that trap sound, I know the mix is shit but I feel like the base music itself is good.
>>60996549
I'm really new at this so I honestly have no idea what to do as far as making better, more complex chords. No idea where to begin with bass, and no idea where to start with a melody.
I'm frustratingly awful at this. Also I don't know this stuff well enough to fix the reverb in the manner you described unfortunately.
>>60996611
>no idea what to do as far as making better, more complex chords
if you're making future bass the chords don't necessarily have to be complex, but you can always add notes , or delete notes until it sounds cool.
>No idea where to begin with bass, and no idea where to start with a melody.
Use presets if you like, although synthesis is a great skill to have, you'll probably have more fun dicking around with presets. choose a bass preset, or any preset really, and make a bassline that follows your chord progression. dick around in the piano roll or your midi controller and come up with a melody.
>Also I don't know this stuff well enough to fix the reverb in the manner you described unfortunately.
Look it up in the FL manual, or look it up online, automation is a basic function in DAWs, and is very useful.
>>60994766
Prod is dead senpai.
>>60992959
This is what mastering engineers are for
They're an expensive hire, but they have equipment and ears that are very valuable
Of course you could just do it yourself by listening through everything and noting the levels on your meters, and attempting to get that consistent
The trick is having the "loud" bits (usually the chorus, or just the parts you want to be perceived as loud ) being the same dB across the album.
>>60988313
>trap
your opinions are irrelevant
>>60998441
this but it is a pain in the ass to test on different sources but you need to do it
or you pay someone but you better research them good before you think about that and listen to shit they've done
>>60996611 here
I progressed a little more on the track
https://clyp.it/zvsuhhk4
I know I suck, I know the vocals suck.
What is this guy using to produce without a computer? Looks like a really fun way to produce since I've only ever used Ableton with nothing external
