Anyway. Looking at the Korg Electribe Sample and Akai Pro MPC Studio both of which are $399.99. Both look pretty rad.

>>62439879
I've had an ESX-1 and i really had fun with it, but after using it for some years and not playing live with it anymore, which it was really good for imo, i sold it and bought an Ableton Push and some other stuff. Gives me most of the stuff the ESX-1 could do plus some extra flexibility together with Ableton.
My point is, i heard the Electribe Sampler is shit compared to the ESX-1. Can't say anything about the MPC Studio, though.
>>62439879
the studio is a controller, the electribe is a sampler, which do you need more?
>that new Kanye album

>>62440750
thats not true
http://www.akaipro.com/product/mpcstudio
>>62440895
i just searched "akai mpc standalone" and got linked to this on the official akai website
http://www.akaipro.com/kb/article/1484#standalone
also the second heading on that page is "Legendary MPC Production on Your PC or Mac"
i'm pretty sure it's a controller dude
>>62441129
except it holds samples
>>62441207
where does it say that?
>>62439879 guy here
I think >>62440750 might be right >>62440895
Fuck. Still doing research on this though.
Why are all these samplers shit or $900 and up???
>>62441337
you are actually right man
they really make it seem like it holds the samples itself on the page though
>>62441361
yeah, i'm disappointed that those rumours of a new roland sampler at namm didn't go anywhere. the hardware sampler market is pretty stagnant these days
>>62441532
lol yeah
guess i'm looking for an esx 1 for now.
>>62441697
There's propably a reason they're still going for a high price. Bought mine 4 years or so ago for 490€ and sold it like a month for 480€. If you want a standalone sampler, they're really good.
Hi /prod/
What is a good USB interface for recording analog gear? I care more about sound than number of inputs or anything else. Google just shows me the same basic interfaces everyone knows like the Scarlett 2i4.
>>62442046
Interfaces aren't as bad as they used to be. Just about anything in your budget will be on par.
If you really want something a notch above the rest, consider the Apogee Duet
>>62441165
anyone have any experience with this kind of stuff?
>>62442046
Apogee Duet or if you're Windows based Focusrite.
>>62442194
>Apogee Duet
That thing looks like a totally overpriced meme to me. Is it really worth the price?
>>62442046
Look aTarter simple ones are the xenyx series IMO. It's a mixer as well you can use for other stuff. They start at $50
Later on you can work your way up to a legit Roland duo or w/e
>>62442322
Well you did say you care a lot about sound, and if you can spot the difference, then it's definitely there.
>>62442322
Then just get one of the $150 boxes and shut up about recording quality
>>62442393
>>62442791
Not that guy btw lol. I was just googling that thing and it doesn't look like it's worth so much, but i don't really have an expertise on audio interfaces anyway desu.
>>62442322
>Apogee Duet
it really does look like a meme but ive heard good things about it overall
I have a Maschine Mikro I got as a gift and is now collecting dust. I got back into making music, any idea on how to add it as a MIDI controller to FL Studio? I must sound like an uber-scrub right now, but I do kinda wanna incorporate more human sounding drums into my tracks.
>>62443295
Why don't you use it as a plugin inside fruity loops?
>>62442884
It's all about how much you claim you hear. Like those audiophiles. Personally I can't distinguish 320 kbs mp3s from .wav so yeah.
https://clyp.it/skpcd3eb
Any advice? I know the mixing sucks and i need to at least sidechain the reese to the first kick a bit. What about the arrangement and variation?
It's the second thingy i made with Ableton.
anyone knows how to solve this:
if i hear the track at 100% volume it sounds great
75% it sounds perfect
50% half the sounds are not hearable and it sounds fucked up
>>62444553
also, diff track, when i have speakers with good bass it sounds full, when i don't it sounds empty, if i add shit it sounds like shit with good speakers and good with shit speakers

>>62445031
Oh shit nevermind. just found out. Dayum
>>62444871
lower levels really make your mix flaws stand out is why
>>62444599
>when i have speakers with good bass it sounds full
With reference to "good", do you mean when you have speakers with enhanced bass, or speakers with what you'd consider accurate bass?
If you have speakers with enhanced bass, and your track sounds the way you intended it to sound, then your mix is too light at the bottom end.
If you have accurate low frequency response from your speakers and your mix sounds ok on those but not so good on not-so-good speakers, then you have a choice - you either say "shit speakers are not my problem" which rules out a vast portion of potential listeners, or you balance your mix so that it sounds ok on both good and bad speakers - this inevitably involves compromise (and several sets of speakers set up on your rig) and more work but it's what mixing engineers do all the time to get their mixes out the door.

faggot.
>>62445464
thanks, gonna check everything again then
but really what i sense is that certain sounds "dissappear" and by such then another sound that was rhythmically based on the existance of the first, sounds out of place
like if i were to mute a channel and then the whole mix sounds awful
>>62444553
>anyone knows how to solve this
Mix at a lower volume. Then you won't be disappointed when you turn it down.
I always try listening to overcompressed music at a low volume just to see how garbage it sounds. It's funny.
>>62446623
i've tried that, but i end up having a track where the "turtle escapes" at higher volumes, if you catch my drift
still i guess its just a matter of varying more the mixing volume while working?
Tried something new with my drums
what do you think?
https://clyp.it/xaclib3k
>>62445018
https://clyp.it/bar2nd3s
new version.. anyone?
>>62446689
what did you do with it that is new?
the snare is a bit overcompressed, I think you squished the transient, it doesnt really snap and it is a bit muffled. I would add some high frequencies with another sample or eq, or both.
If i were you i would make it swing more. Love the little snare ghost note roll, that sounds perfect. I would take that as a reference for how you (may) want the rest of the drums to sound; organic, crunchy and clear.
Love the dissonant feel of it.
Also, maybe you can add a funk bassline or something like that. To get it a bit more grooving. The bass notes sound a bit random now imo, not necessarily a bad thing...
this is me btw: >>62446742
Any thoughts?
>>62446742
liked it, but too much reverb on drums, i feel there is a layer of air between them and me, and instruments could be fuller
i would:
bring the drums to front-middle, reverb in another chain and wide across speakers but 'behind'
other instruments slighty to sides and in """frequency""" equilibrium, would fatten them too
>>62446675
Well, don't mix at a super low volume, just kind of low. It's what a lot of professionals do, like Chris Lord-Alge. It's not just some random suggestion I made.
If your mix is out of control at a higher volume, I don't think mixing at a higher volume is the solution. All the problems that present themselves at a higher volume should be noticeable at a lower volume, within reason.
>>62446896
>bring the drums to front-middle, reverb in another chain and wide across speakers but 'behind'
good will definitely do that. Now you said it, i definitely overkilled on the reverb a bit.
What do you mean exactly with frequency equilibrium?
This is a reply to the OP but I have a suggestion for writing melody / chords:
Get the midi for pop songs that you know and like (search engine) and put it in a MIDI sequencer and have it all played by the same instrument. Say a piano or a very simple synth.
Now I'm not suggesting to rip it off, just to listen to it. It will sound like shit. The point being that the choice of instruments and production is going to be far more important than the melody itself that you use for most types of music. There's a reason most pop and rock and electronic genres are really simple in terms of traditional music theory. All the variety comes out of rhythm, production techniques, textures used to give a certain emotional impact.
>>62446970
don't pay attention to the term, i took it out of my ass, what i mean is, that i would try to pan the different instruments trying to create an equilibrium/movement of equilibriums between the ears according to their tones
for example the high-pitched piano i think it is, could go very well at 40 or sth like that on one ear, so its heavy on one side but not completely panned, and then i would have NO similar-toned sounds near that angle on the other ear, or maybe one similar-toned at 15 on the other ear, forming like a diagonal line of sound between the ears
or the opposite, to duplicate the piano and put it at 40 on both sides, maybe with a little delay between the channels (little), and having the other sounds assorted in the middle, so the piano becomes like a "wrap" for the other instruments
>>62446006
I often keep filenames of pics i dl
But who actually cares it could have been random animu
Also why is lol considered cancer i just know some friends play it and that it's like the next-gen wow in terms of popularity but i have little to no contact with the world of video games
You're probably right on the second point - do you like normal deathgrind initially though?

>https://clyp.it/ynui4q2r
The guitar-ish strum-ish sound in the foreground is not going anywhere for my taste. The transforming pads/synths in the background are really great though. If i were you (this may sound drastic) i would remove the whole strumming thing from your composition (it makes the whole thing sound a bit out of place and quirky to me) and work with what you got with those awesome background sounds/pads/synths. Add some subtle field recordings, sound design and more rhythm and you have yourself a good ambient/electronic track. Then you can add a fitting melody if you like, of course.
Also, on the snare is also some kind of tom or kick, the two are not hitting at the same time. Make sure you have your drum samples starting exactly when the sound starts, it sounds like there's a little silence in between the triggering of the sample and the sound. It may be intentional though, but in that case I think it would sound better if you have them hitting exactly at the same time.
Increases impact.
Your rhythm could definitely use a more constant pulse, like a shaker or something, the rhythm section sounds a bit too sparse imo. But that may be the best way eventually, so I'm not sure.
All in all, definitely has potential. Just keep at it.

>The guitar-ish strum-ish sound in the foreground is not going anywhere for my taste.
The whole thing kinda started from just trying out a short chord progressions on a guitar VST. It was supposed to be, like you said, the main foreground element but it doesn't really fit the rest of it now that I think objectively and after listening to it again. I'll try something quieter, less amped up and with a proper progression. I could use it in some parts but tone it down to almost silent and put it behind the rest of it.
>Also, on the snare is also some kind of tom or kick, the two are not hitting at the same time.
I was trying to humanize it a bit since I started off just by making a loop with the drums and the guitar, but I suppose that's useless since it wouldn't sound real in any case. I'll see about the rhythm section.
>>62448708
yeah just like the fat turd i let loose out of my anus splashing in the toilet bowl this morning is music
>>62448780
techno is definitely music
if "noise" is just a sound with no rhythm, melody or other musical attribute, then it's not music
>>62448817
i dont even like deathgrind but im not the one acting like a teenager about it
hey guys, im super new to production, let me know what you guys think of my first attempt at making my own beat. some feedback, tips, etc would be great, thanks
https://clyp.it/xwnzxwrz
for some reason the quality has dropped significantly, but from a musical standpoint some tips would be good
>>62448854
the "teenager" attitude is
>woah dude listen to this loud, atonal mess of a sound! it's totally rad and new and must be good because it's so DEEP and DIFFERENT and HARDCORE! woah broski!
art is not subjective
>>62434586
on occasion, my consistency fluctuates to meh to it's ok. once in a while i'll have one of those genius moments. Many more to come
>>62448886
sure thing buddy
>>62448916
>t. high school debate captain
>>62448873
Synths sound nice, kick and most of the drums sound weak as hell. Fuck around with them until they sound good, that's how you learn.
>>62448886
never said something like that anon i think you misunderstood me
I don't like trap if someone tried to make something new within its boundaries i would probably dislike it.
I'm not even trying to be innovative i'm just trying to replicate a genre of music using different instrumentation this process has been used thousand of times
[spoiler]and it was mostly shit but i can try[/spoiler]
>>62448989
They sounded good before I uploaded :(
>>62449039
Are you sure? They just sound like the EQing is kinda off.
>>62449039
>They sounded good before I uploaded :(
do you have proper monitoring ?
your mixes might just not be translating well to the other anons monitoring
>>62449033
yes, and from the clyp it "grindcore" ive heard i can tell whoever made it that it's not music and they should stop making it
there's "making something new" (70's disco trap) and there's "taking a shit through your XLR cable straight into your DAW" (grindcore)
>>62449091
explain how the eqing is off
>>62448886
what do you listen to anon?
>>62449097
70s disco trap doesnt sound like it would be that good honestly
>>62449139
everything, primarily drum and bass at the moment
>>62449143
I probably agree; better than grindcore though
maybe that could be a new niche: 70s disco trap
>>62449097
are you https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gi3qC_zQ4Po?
>>62449093
I don't know what that is so probably not
>>62449091
It's definitely something that happened during uploading

1200 ad lute trap
>>62449177
>everything
you just proved the reverse anon
>>62449193
i'm talking about some of the awful "grindcore" clyp its in this thread
everything i heard in that video was music
some genres should not be attempted by amateurs it seems
>>62449218

cool imageboard psychology brobro
>tfw you listen to old tracks you loved and it's shit
>>62448886
How does one objectively grade music?
>>62449260
>is it /prod/ grindcore
>yes
>it's objectively shit
>>62449258
>tfw all the different elements that sounded clear to you then are now all just a big pile of mess
>>62449258
>want to produce certain genre

love this, sounds great
>>62448873
all drums sound super weak. Nice synthiness tho.
>>62448780
isn't noise just any non-musical sound, almost by definition?
>>62448253
Comfy. What is this sample?
>>62449652
know this feel, and I like it
I'm a new producer though, so this might not happen in a few years...
>>62449737
oh also here are two unfinished and not-at-all fleshed out ideas that I made today

>isn't noise just any non-musical sound, almost by definition?
meant harsh noise, the genre of music
Here's a stupid remix of All About That Bass that i've been working on for about an hour. Every single sound accept for the drums are from All About That Bass.

Take one melody, and repeat it, but moved down. (or up) continue forever.
In theory we call this a "melodic sequence"
Its cool becuase it causes your song to constantly shift through different keys.
This melody (recorded on my electric organ - the only bass sound in this track) is sequenced down a minor 3rd each time (3 semitones).
I fucking love sequences. one of my favorite devices, would happily sequence a melody down or up ad nasum
>>62428860
coming up with melodies aint easy. some have it, some dont. having a "home" note you come back to often helps your melody, but really good melodies have to come from your mind. You could read Fux's guidelines on melodic writing if you care, constructing a melody can be done very scientifically if you cant do it intuitively.
>>62450381
Thanx. Anything you like about it in particular?
Evening /prod/! SO omni mics have lots of different pros and cons that make them different from other mic designs (besides just their polar patte'n). I have a number of mics, dynamic and condenser, but the only omni mics I have are condenser mics. Sometimes I really need all the benefits of a dynamic mic, plus all the benefits of an omni mic (like if I wanted to toss it right onto a bass/guitar cab without proximity issues or shitty bass response, or put it right in the midde of a drum kit for some sweet mono kick/snare/tom and pic it all up without SPL issues). I've got it narred down to these two. Wat do? I need a pair btw, pairs are valuable.
>>62450692
i don't know i expected shit and it wasn't
you really remixed it and not add a KICKSNARELMAO
>>62450873
i would get the shure but only because i never heard of the other brand :^)
>>62451086
that's ackchully not a bad reason in and of itself. going with a "shure" thing might make the extra $20 worth it. the specs are pretty similar, except the shure has slightly higher output and slightly narrower frequency response. the shure is almost definitely better engineered too though... and won't have weird peaks and stuff at different angles
>>62450873
Get the Shure.
>>62451251
but money money money
lucky for the B&H site seems to be having difficulties atm so i'm not able to pull the trigger without sleeping it on
>>62451303
youll probably find a better deal if you look anyways
>>62451405
eh, not unless i buy used an i don't like to do that for tamperable items. plus B&H can't be beat!

most of the people posting here admittedly suck ass, but they are rightfully seeking out criticism which is valuable for their artistic development

new version
added some cool strings and made the composition more interesting, what do you think?
