this is some shit i've been working on the past week or so.
>>62603862
i was kinda wondering about this really skip around style. its been something ive been working in the past year. i would like to hear thoughts on it.
Not exactly prod. but gear/encoding crap.
Thinking about using Christmas amazon gift card for a one of these shit encoding turntables to have a work..
It's $65
Any other alternatives around the same price range?? What do you use?
does any one have a download link for AudioSpillage Elecktroid vst??? win or osx w/e

A dreamy chillwave-ish synth track I'm currently working on.
https://clyp.it/3o5nioq1
Let me know what you guys think.
How do i make progressive / big house drum beats that sound good. I know the theory but using normal drum kits sounds boring as shit. How do i make m machine style for example
>>62606877
make good sound good
>>62606914
is it all sample based?
>>62606302
George & Jonathan vibe. I have to say, the pre-buildup triplet/4:4 thing doesn't rly work
>>62606947
good sample make good music
make good sound
sound good
>>62606302
Nice, Mike.
>>62606302
I like the instrument noises and the synth sound a lot, but the progression seems weird and bad.

soundcloud would only be bad if people spammed their stuff in every thread. Why would it even matter if some obscure page got 20 more views or something
>>62610221
The problem isn't a few people posting stuff to soundcloud for real criticism. The problem with soundcloud is once you allow people to start posting them, then you will have people in here looking for "criticism" when in reality they just want to advertise.
>>62610314
>then you will have people in here looking for "criticism" when in reality they just want to advertise
so?
>>62610334

There's a whole thread dedicated just to soundcloud.
>>62610334

alright mein negers, some input would be greatly appreciated
i was messing around on my keys today and ran the same chord progression through 2 different sounds
https://clyp.it/rdao5afr
i thought i'd run with the 1st half sound while using the 2nd half as a sort of mood shift in the middle or something, but i'm on the edge of a fence about that. what say /mu/?
>>62610395
the fuck you mean "so?"

https://clyp.it/czlenmfc
What do you guys think about the mixing?
>>62610441
That sounds really fucking nice. Yeah, the first half sounds a bit pluckier and the second is more relaxed. Mood shift is a good idea.
>>62604283
>>62609597
damn man. sounds like an i-r-new-producer trapbabby mixed with the worst part /mu/

desu i never really got even close to the breakcore genre, but it sounds a little messy. don't get me wrong, i can tell there's been some work done on it, but there's definitely room for improvement. i know yeezus was a pretty polarizing album in terms of musical taste, but there's no denying the mix quality of it. study it

I'm never heard of anyone not setting up different busses for different elements. What are you compressing for btw, it's probaly better to go direct on vocals.
>>62610901
just drums and an acapella in a hip-hop song, probs right i can just go direct, i just like the idea of having the uncompressed signal of the vox too
>>62610868
before listening to it, let me tell you something
music in general requires some degree of confidence, rap/hip-hop more so
the fact that you don't seem to have confidence in your own shit tells me more than any lyric you might write
>>62610868

keep working on this joint. a couple more layers would help, make those drums pop, flesh out the ideas more, make it a little more cohesive, mix the shit down and you got yourself a dank track

>>62610441
Comfy, but that snatre is really jarring.
>>62611727
Listen man, it's about the integrity of the thread. Have you ever stopped to think that maybe the rule is in place because sc spamming has been and still is a problem? Are you really so computer illiterate as to not know how to use clyp? Or are you perhaps, even worse, just too lazy? Because anyone who can't be bothered to do something properly just because they don't want to will never make it in music. Regardless, you and I have cocked up this thread enough. Say whatever you want bro. I'm going to bed and will hopefully dream of a proper, insightful, helpful /prod/ thread. Best of luck to you
https://clyp.it/bmdmrm15
heres a remix of I love you kanye i knocked up this morning...are the drums too loud? are the vocals loud enough? Ive listened to it far too much today! any mix advice would be verrry appreciated!

>>62611727
>"I'm stupid enough to think anyone trying to get soundcloud plays/followers would waste time doing so in a small anonymous production community instead of somewhere that they might be successful"
Every small thing you do helps. Like you know from mixing. A follow here, a like there, 20 plays here and there, it adds up. Having other creatives as followers is also a boon, since they are good followers. But it doesn't matter whether or not it makes SENSE, what matters is that, regardless of sense, people actually do it, and we want to avoid it.
>>62611996
>Listen man, it's about the integrity of the thread.
Lol
>sc spamming has been and still is a problem?
No, it isn't. One or two soundclouds per thread is not enough to qualify as a problem
>Are you really so computer illiterate as to not know how to use clyp? Or are you perhaps, even worse, just too lazy?
No, we're talking about the validity of the rule
>Because anyone who can't be bothered to do something properly just because they don't want to will never make it in music.
Holy shit lol this is getting petty as fuck

What about slippery slope don't you understand? Yes, it's one or two per thread. NOW, when we have the rule. If we open up for SCs, other people will flock to.
>>62612260
Get the fuck out and take your shitty soundcloud links with you, if you don't like it here so much. We don't need you here.
can we stop talking about SC links (which everyone except that one guy knows would ruin these threads) and get back to production advice
>>62612253
It doesn't add up to much if people just listen to critique and then forget about you. How many times do you see requests for people's soundclouds per thread? That's probably indicative of how many follows someone would get out of posting their soundcloud here

What is there like less than a hundred posters in the average /prod/? Why are you so sure we'll be descended upon by people self advertising? It makes no sense
How do you incorparate crackle, or ambient noises like rain, city noises, wind, rustling leaves into your music the right way?
What i mean is, when i listen to artists like Burial rather than just having ambient sounds as a seperate track and have the music play over it it always feels like the atmosphere of the ambient sounds is enveloping the rest of the music if you know what i mean. It's kind of hard to describe.
Another example would be Andy Stott
>>62612639
I lowpass them and keep the volume down quite a lot.
You can't just chose any recording. It has to fit the mood of the track.
>>62612639
It's a form of mood writing. Maybe try to listen to some rain samples and think what would go well with them, not the other way around.
Also, what this guy >>62612821 said.
>>62612821
>You can't just chose any recording.
Oh i didn't mean in terms of songwriting and composition but rather sonically. from a sound design kind of perspective. For example if you make Lo-Fi music but suddenly have a crystal clear synth in the mix it feels unfitting.
In Burials music it always kind of feels like the rest of the instruments playing is affected by the sound and drenched in it. But not in a "drown everything in reverb" kind of way
>>62612988
EQing.
Make the sounds fit inside each other, if that makes sense.

I want to do a Boards of Canada-style thing and put my music onto tape and then rip it back to give it a lo-fi vibe.

>>62614980
they probably have access to this kind of this shit
>>62608153
>>62606302

Its like you niggas trying to make a default samsung ringtone
>>62615107
>Access to
It's not like they're cost prohibitive. I got mine for $40, then again it's only two tracks. The hard part was sourcing new tape.
How do I make a snare drum sound like this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_mFQBvEz-8
Obviously there's a shitload of reverb and compression, but what kind of settings and/or tricks would get me in the ballpark?
>>62615213
i didnt know they were that cheap desu
>>62614980
I think Boards used a lot of cassettes. They would bounce the sounds back and forth between multiple cassette players until it was degraded enough, also they'd use especially shitty cassette recorders and overdrive the inputs.
You don't need a USB to cassette recorder, just use the headphone outputs of your computer or better yet, a decent audio interface.
I just got myself a USB interface (Focusrite Scarlett) after years of messing around on a multitrack tape recorder, and I've hit a huge road block with recording drums. The drums sound incredibly weak and flat when played back. When I recorded to tape, the drums sounded pretty close to how they do in person.
Is there some kind of special setting that I have to tweak? I'm using Ableton Lite because it came with the USB interface and I don't have anything else. I'm hitting the drums as hard as humanly possible but it sounds like my drum kit is made out of foam and towels when I play back the recording. Mic is an SM57.
>>62614980
>>62615107
>>62615213
"that kind of shit" isn't lo fi at all, it is actually hi fi
to get that boc sound you need a lot of analog gear, saturator, cassette tapes, etc
>>62615296
that is analog gear with tape
>>62615321
yes, tape, but not reel to reel, which is not lo fi at all.....
>>62615271
Teac made a shit ton of machines, so their 2tracks are usually cheap. The more obscure Japanese brands fetch the crazy prices.
>>62615296
You can do lo-fi with a reel2reel, just over saturate the preamps.
>>62615271
good ones aren't cheap though, especially if you want a really good condition one and start factoring in all the other things needed like good AD/DA, calibration tape, a proper degausser ... also as anon already said fresh tape is rare and good tape is costly as well
Is there a way to change the tempo/time signature midway through a song in Logic? Like if I want to have a longer song that changes speeds/time signatures at some point can I do that?

>I'm lost in that fucking session view.
Ableton has the fastest workflow and easiest UI desu. Watch a tutorial on it or something, Sadowick's are beast.
>>62620334
if you try really hard you can pronounce Sytrus as "see through".
>>62620160
I tried adding drums/perc but I felt It didn't fit. I might add other instruments, maybe piano or a kalimba, I'm not sure. It sounds finished for me.
>>62620229
Isn't there a crack for the dongle shit?
>>62620309
>Got ableton but I'm lost in that fucking session view. Just doenst help my workflow at all. Also I like the logic UI. its so clean and simple
Crack or Buy Cubase then senpai
>>62620397
ok mate i trust you. all i get is usually some loopy shit. those tutorials might help
>>62620413
maybe if you're some kind of european weirdo
>>62620438
>Isn't there a crack for the dongle shit?
not that I know of otherwise I would have tried it.
What are some good poorfag studio monitors? Don't want to / can't spend more than 150-200€
>>62620503
You're better off getting studio headphones for that price range desu senpai.
>>62606302
Drums seem a little off, might want to slow them down when they first come in, as it progresses it fits tho. good work on the rest of it real dreamy feel
What's your favorite frequency shifter VST, /prod/?
>>62620664
Harmor.
>>62620735
But that's a synth, senpai. I need a bode frequency shifter effect.
synth piece im working on..
https://clyp.it/b2qnptou
>>62620664
MFreqShifter.
It's free and can do feedback delays as well. Also separate shifting for left and right stereo channels.
>>62620791
>But that's a synth, senpai.
>not importing audio into it and using it as a crazy wacky effects processor.
>>62620845
Interesting textures you got there. I'd say, you should resample this and try and get a sort of Aphex Twin vibe. Also needs more low end a bit more punchy drums, especially dat snare. Try sidechaining a bit of the synths on them, around the middle - end you have that low synth that kinda clases with the kick.
>>62620882
Ooh, nice. I've been looking at Echobode, but I don't want to spend cash, and Sonic Charge plugins always timebomb. Also saw ValhallaFreqEcho, which I may also end up using.
>>62620955
It FFTs the signal, and the engine sounds watery. I'd rather not.
>>62619965
>>62620289
SYLENTH!
>>62620438
>>62620499
only for cubase 5
they use a new version of the dongle since then so there is no emulator for it
what is the most effective way to layer duplicated synth basslines?
had this quick idea while listening to the king krule record http://picosong.com/hkhh/
>>62621298
They need to occupy different places of the frequency spectrum. For example you can't have 2 sub basses, like, just one and then lowcut the other one and live it's top gritty end. Just an example tho, I dunno what genre you're doing.
>>62603862
Oh shit Kishi Bashi, great taste my friend
Good track as well
>>62621251
dongles piss me off.
their anti-piracy tactic makes paying customers suffer.
Just spend $800 on software, now you need to buy this ugly thing that sticks out of your computer for more money.
want to use your DAW on the go, don't forget your dongle.
oops your dongle broke, now you need to spend another $50 on a new one and can't use your DAW until it comes in.
only one USB port left for your new hardware piece, sorry the dongle goes there.
like wtf were they thinking?
>>62621907
Poorfag please. We all know the only reason you don't like dongles is because you want to pirate the software easier.
I use iLoks every day and I don't have any of the problems you mentioned.
>>62621907
dongles are gay but i really like cubase so i deal with it
atleast with steinberg you only have to buy the new eliscenser for 30 dollars and they just replace your liscenses
ilok on the other hand is horrible because of their middleman "pace anti piracy"
the faggots at pace will charge you for fucking everything they possibly can get away with and paying 30$ a year just incase it breaks is a money drain
>>62622043
Oh, that reminds me, I gotta deactivate the license from my old pc I don't have anymo-
>iLok: No, you can't deactivate licences remotely, you have to do it from the pc you want to deactivate from.
Okay then.jpg

I bought ableton specifically because there is no dongle.
you can't tell me losing 1/3 of your USB ports on your laptop isn't inhibiting.
>>62609426
Can I get some feedback on this please?
>>62622231
I bought FL specifically because there is virtually no copy protection aside from registry check at startup, I can run it on as many pcs as I want, and the updates are free.
>>62622103
software liscense manager causes way more issues than the dongle imo
>>62622231
I'm not running protools on a laptop though, my interface isn't really portable, and my setup just doesn't make sense like that. Maybe if I was doing the whole laptop DJ thing, I might be mad about losing a USB port, but then I wouldn't be using anything that requires a dongle.
>>62622231
I've the same issue, not with a dongle. Just with shit like a mouse and whatnot. I use a multi USB-hub but with hard drives it can decrease their performance. I try to plug those directly to the laptop.
>>62622231
Not quite related, but I've had two different mice break two different USB ports on the same laptop. Don't buy Acer.
>>62622517
they likely used the shittiest components they could have found
i have a prebuilt gayming pc as a gift and i dont even game but it has shitty ports like sometimes they will just disconnect and you gotta plug it back in its really annoying
>>62603456

writing some stuff right now
>>62622614
Yeah, I don't think I'm going to buy another laptop again, unless I'm making bank and get a macbook. Too many quality control issues otherwise.
>>62622789
mine is a desktop but its the same issue really
if you want good quality shit really better to order everything yourself and put it together or get somone else to do it for you
I'm getting a lot of crackle since using C6 and I don't really understand why. There is no visible clipping going on on the master level within the C6 and I have only been using it to simulate hi-pass/low-pass effects (not automated). L2 on output (last in chain naturally) has been working fine with software synths, but when it comes to audio clips something still isn't right. I have tried using an L2 on individual channels as well, and even then it is only reducing intermittently by 2-3db on peaks but there artifacts still presenting themselves.
I'm at a loss, please help.
>>62622997
increase buffer size
>>62622997
wait, you mean cubase 6, or waves c6?
>>62623039
I don't see how this can help given the more CPU intensive tasks with software synths are working fine. Audio would surely ask a lot less, no?
>>62623084
waves i think they also have a plugin called l2
>>62623084
Waves C6. I'm using Logic Pro 9, by the way.
>>62623140
buffer size isn't about the cpu though, it's memory
and yeah, audio is memory intensive whereas synthesis is cpu intensive
>>62623175
No experience in Logic, sorry.
I know Waves plugs don't like FL and need buffers of fixed size supplied. Is there such an option anywhere in Logic?
>>62623212
Actually, it's for cases where cpu can't keep up and lags behind on calculating samples.
>>62623212
Ah... that explains it then, thanks.
On this laptop I only have the option to increase I/O buffer incrementally from [email protected] or [email protected]. Is there a limit to the latency that one shouldn't go past?
>>62623227
tfw waves doesnt support amd cpus at all since v9 came out
What effects would i need to make something quite simliar to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOdtkBS5UYg
Its like an emptiness to it. absolutley love it
>>62623307
Is it because they're using some intel-specific extensions and optimizations? Bunch of pricks.
>>62623284
Less is better, but whatever feels comfortable and doesn't crackle. If you're not playing live, it basically doesn't really matter.
>>62623319
Sounds like a standard piano synth with two tremolo effects running - one on the right hand piano line running an order of magnitude faster than the left hand part. Then there's a fake vinyl crackle. Should be pretty straightforward to recreate.
>>62623392
Don't forget a nice reverb.
>>62623392
>>62623469
thanks for the reply i will give it a go
>>62623372
probaly something like that or that most iof their users run intel cpu for audio production so they said fuck it
i contacted waves support and they were cool about it and sent me a link to older versions that do support amd
i dont really like amd that much though so im gonna switch when possible
best way to detect the key of a vocal sample in ableton?

I really love Joe Meek's work but sometimes I have trouble appreciating it with the knowledge that he murdered an innocent old lady.
Anyone else know this feel?
>>62624023
separate the work from the artist, idc
Meek was certainly a loony tho
>>62623319
This is very inspiring.
>>62624023

no
I want to make myself a midi controller like the midi fighter twister. I just lack knobs and I would like to have a knob only controller. Now I cant spend 200€ so does anybody know a tutorial how to make your own midi fighter twister?
>>62624535
>get some microcontroller
>connect knobs to it
>program it to send midi
>>62624708
I was thinking there might be a good tutorial that offers a list of what to buy and a written code. I really dont want to DIY for fun but for practical reasons. Of course i'll solder and shit. Afterwards I'll 3D print the case and thats it.
>>62624829
ive heard of people using arduino for this but i dont know much about it
>>62621907
>mfw people pay 850 for software when you could just get hardware for that much
>>62624970
no daw costs that much except ableton suite which is way overpriced at 750 usd
every other daws full version costs 500 usd
>>62624829
Arduino, for which there's sure to be shit done, or some cheaper clone, but don't know if you'll find anything for it.
