Soundcloud thread?
I'm a garbage hip-hop, trap, beatmaker and could use some criticism.
Feel free to post your own stuff. I'll listen to anything, but I'm mostly into rap/trap/some house/future bass and shit like that

wait are these all at least 3 years old? Do you not produce anymore?
>>688748732
Not personally a fan of bounce, but this definitely sounds totally on par with other bounce artists. How long you been around
>>688749305
thanks man, been producing since the 11th grade but only started taking it seriously and devoting time and $$ into it this year, ill bounce another track and swing it your way
>>688748753
No I stopped working alone in a tiny city that I didn't know, now I actually sometimes do things with my free time
It was ultimately a timewaster anyways, it's called junkmusic for a reason, my goal with that account was to go from googling "how to make music on a laptop" to actually doing it for fun
I make a lot of shit, but here's my rap / hip hop beats
https://soundcloud.com/rxmusicproduction/original-beat-previews
>>688747463
hey OP, I'm starting to work on getting more into production so I too can make sick beats for fun
Any useful suggestions or techniques? anything on mixing and mastering? I'd like for it to at least sound good enough to be posted
>>688750399

that's all you need, have fun.
Mixing and Mastering:
- Dont bother mastering your own shit, pay someone else to do it
- Buy a good pear of Bose headphones around the $400~ mark, or buy studio monitors. Take breaks every 20 minutes to refresh your ears
>>688750399
Yea it's definitely something I enjoy now whenever I get the inspiration. Really I just watched tutorials on things I wasn't sure about and always look for cool sounds until I can figure out sound design. The mixing and mastering part is my next step after sound design :)
>>688750164
I like your beats.
You sell yours or just produce?

You're actually retarded. Do you even know what mastering is? Fucking idiot.

>>688751146
Thanks man. Do you collab at all?
>>688751201
You actually believe bose is good for studio work don't you?
Why don't you just buy some beats, they're "studio" beats right bruh?
>>688751252
No, last time I did it didn't really get anywhere, but that was about 2 years ago. I would be interested though.
>>688751340
Counter my recommendation then faggot. "studio beats" lol'd, even a 6 year old downy kid knows beats are trash

I am an audio engineer and in my spare time or for practice i dismantle songs and re-record them trying to get as close to the original with as few real life instruments as possible for practice
so far my soundcloud https://soundcloud.com/neuroticdax is just a portfolio of random bits but hopefully when i get around to writing my own shit that will be on there too

You dumb fuck
>>688750743
Same here. I'm getting super inspired by Taylor McFerrin right now. I need to create something now. I'm loving the music that's being created these days.
>>688751624
ATH-M50s are fucking garbage and never let anyone tell you otherwise.
I prefer beyerdynamics or sennheisers, but all headphones are objectively inferior to even medium priced monitors
>>688751201
most mastering tech's dont use headphones at all because the impulse response is totally different...just putting that out there

You think he can afford a $4000 pair of monitors? I recommended headphones for a reason. He's a beginner, not fucking Maarten Voorwerk

$400 monitors wont get you far.
> $200 actual studio monitors
talks shit and still doesnt make a recommendation of any sort. shut the fuck up.
>>688752092
"Look cool"
Who the fuck cares what they look like, its about the actual functionality you idiot.
>>688751828
True, idk where you're from, but decent, mid-range monitors start at $500 per monitor. More efficient to do the basics on headphones, then rent out a studio and do the final touches there.

>>688752402
Any monitors over $200 will sound better than any headphones under $400
>>688752402
um the monitors we use at the studio are like £130 and they're pretty damn good tbh
its more about weather you set them up properly or not
>>688752658
But Bose is bad for studio work and for price per sound quality monitors beat headphones into the dirt
>>688752402
Here is the said lcd2s and i modded them to be a headset lol

Hey guys, do you synthesise your own drums and stuff? Or do you use like, samples, or sounds from a 303? If you do synthesise them, how do you do it?

Just because sound engineers made it doesnt mean its good. I mean bose oe beats can be purposely made to simulate better quauality than whats to be expected from the shit hardware they used to toss into them you moron. These big names pay people to polish a turd. Now pull you head out of your ass noob
>>688753536
This one is hip hop ish
>>688753348
But I'm super into sound and sample editing, to the point where I torture myself by using Renoise for sample editing
Pro tip: Renoise + your preffered DAW (using Rewire) is godly for sample-heavy editing
>>688753348
These were exactly my feelings, that's why I asked.
>>688753265
How did you make them?
Right now, I use sunvox, and it's sampler allows me to draw the wave for the sound I want to produce. I synthesise using the fm and a series of filters, but I haven't a clue how to do drums.
>>688753152
I've been using phillips sch-2000's for the last year and a half and for mixing its fine really blows bose and beats outta the water for £40 or less
Give this a listen, probs my best work to date

mixing on headphones is not as good as monitors
case and point in no good engineer ever using headphones. bono doesn't even use headphones to monitor himself while he records, he demands speakers set up and phase cancellation because he refuses to use headphones
for all you bedroom artists out there, here you go
god tier: yamaha ns10ms (last i checked they were going for 1k per speaker in aus)
good tier: rokit krk's (preferably 8's of course but depending on finances go 6's or even 5's if you have to)
acceptable tier: i use audioengine 5+ and they're ok. good if you're poor
shit tier: everything else
don't forget, basing monitors on how good they sound is fucking retarded
>>688753646
I just record them, then edit them using whatever i find fits best for that sound in my DAW
>>688751021
i like, scrolling through the song, the harmonics stay the same, maybe put in some effects chains near the drop and in the middle cause its a little boring (dry)
also the drum patterns are tight but maybe have the snare and kick meld into other snares and kicks for interesting variation (for example have claps fade in near the end)
>>688753871
KRK rokits are for tryhards who don't know what sounds good and can't find a better deal
>>688753871
Not once did I say headphones were better than monitors. I simply recommended heaphones because:
1. HES A FUCKING BEGINNER
2. Cost

Aight thanks fam

but if you HAVE to use headphones,
beyerdynamic dt770 pros are incredible
>>688753780
>https://soundcloud.com/tvko/guitarfaded/s-FcOXr
too much high end, your eq'ing is off. by the middle of the song the guitar is just hurting your ears. even just having a lowpass filter cutoff the high and sweeping down would make it sick and lessen ear fatigue at some points. On a good note, the kick is very punchy and speaks through the mix well.
>>688754283
Yeah they are, 880s are better because they're open but 770s are a real solid choice. 990s aren't worth it

But they are, you can find monitors just as good for at least $100 less

i make trap influenced stuff but i try not to be generic with it, just made some new artwork today
>>688754675
>https://soundcloud.com/iamtheprojectpanda
good production, a little loose in terms of where your going with the sounds (like seems kinda random and not very thought out) but otherwise pretty tight. any vocals that remind me of adele is a turnoff tho : /
>>688754651
Definitely delivered on the weird. Reminds me of Oizo, but not as talented obviously. (still p good)
>>688754760
First song i ever made lol they do get better if you check a few different links I posted. I literally just use stock FL studios. never learned anything about it, just fucking whacked away.
>>688754411
i personally wouldn't mix on open headphones because bass loss blah blah blah, but if you know how what you're doing will sound on other stuff, go for it. closed is "better" for mixing because the amount of people who are going to be listening on open headphones compared to closed is a very small minority
at the end of the day you can make whatever the fuck you want work, i have a friend who will listen to a track in his car before he finalises it because he knows what his car sounds like and how it will sound on ipod headphones, when he's performing it (dj), etc
however that being said, there's a reason that ns10m's using cut up power cables as the leads is the gold standard
>>688754982
I'm
>>688754675
I still trying to fit in a genre yet. I'm kinda studying it, basically i make some kind of hybrid.

You're mixing you fucking casual, if it doesn't sound good raw then it won't sound good on pleasure listening headphones

probly the best hip-hop beat ive ever made
https://soundcloud.com/kickthecan/sky-is-on-fire-instrumental
>>688755955
I like it a lot. Reminds me of 90's hip hop. Vocals are a little bit loud, but that's my only criticism.
I produce everything, currently working on a deep house cd.
Http://www.soundcloud.com/jbkeding
>>688747463
Honestly this song would probably go on my playlist if it got into it a bit faster and the raspiness of the voice was toned down a bit.
>>688755602
haha I really like the fl studio opening sound sample.
>>688756172
woah that's really tight. i fuck with it heavy.
I can't figure out how to make my stuff sound less like...unformulaic if that's even a thing. If anyone could
https://soundcloud.com/loqi_music/wav-e/s-vZOWP
>>688754979
can someone peep this?
>>688755955
reminds me of old school gorillaz flow (the black dude lol)
i dont think the vocals are necassarily too loud but more a problem of your clipping your mic (talking too loud into the mic, making distortion/clipping) thus making it sound bad. learn to eq it will help a LOT as well. eq EVERYTHING individually, then eq everything as a whole on the final mix. you'll be set, search up basic how to eq on youtube
also compression will help tone your vocals better with the track, figure that out on youtube as well like search how to compress hiphop vocals or something
i followed @kickthecan you cause you have good lyics, maybe we can collab at some point
>>688748732
Not up my normal alley, but it sounds good.
>>688750164
Your track is mastered really quiet, other than that they're alright.
>>688751021
use some delay on that highhat to fill it in fampai
i love 8 bit sound, but hate the chipmunk vocals. >>688756637
>>688756637

https://soundcloud.com/memeweaverbeats/stuttering-maw
>>688756630
thanks for the feedback (im the hiphop instrumental guy)
for your track its produced very well, unformulatic advice: put delays on the snare every so often (offbeat delays) to create space, also the vocals could be pitched down an octave at some points
also even just having the snare change to a different snare for a couple moments has a big impact imo (maybe put in a big room drum kit reverb snare for a couple bars during a breakdown?)
