Hey guys.

For the past year, I've been quiet honing my skills and have soaked up as much knowledge as possible from threads such as these. Studying different theory pieces, production tips, and mixing handbooks.

I'm working on my first release right now, and just finished mixing and mastering my first track. I would be so happy if you guys could check it out and give me some honest feedback.

Thanks!

Redpill me on rackmount gear
>>
>>74358769
It depends on the rack. I was never fond of rack mount synths, but fx are better than pedals imo.
>>
>>74358769
its a meme that needs to die. VSTs have eliminated the need for endless floor to ceiling racks of shit and a lot of them are unnecessarily bigger than they need to be.

atleast a lot of synth makers have gotten the message that the majority of studios are no longer purpose built rooms and table top modules are all you really need.

also a pain in the ass to work with when you have one thing that is only a few inches deep sandwiched between 2 other devices that take up the full depth.

Anyone here use a Novation ultranova on Win10 (or other Novation gear for that matter)? My keyboard gives me a BSOD right after switching it on, every time. Then I get an error saying that "nvnusbaudio.sys" failed.

I tried to update the driver, but nothing changed. I can't even find them in Device Manager to delete them, but can when I look it up in CMD. Where the hell is the driver?

i think a synth rack with angled shelves could do a better job (if more stuff was tabletop).
easier to install, rearrange, rewire, and work with.

>>74358862
The base theme is very boring. I'm not really sure what you're trying to convey either. The two elements added at :50 also fuck up the flow, and sound harsh too, all the way up until 1:08.

I stopped listening around then, but those are simple points you should address first if you want to improve it.

>>74359287
I just let me hands play the keys and once i stumble on something i like I'll flesh it out
something i like doing is stacking 5ths on both hands and moving them in different positions, left hand over the black keys, right hand over the white keys, and play with different shapes and distances apart, going in contrary and parallel motion and ultimately exploring the instrument.
also ending that kind of stacked 5ths on stack tritones sounds neat. like I'll end up on F#(2) C#(3) F(3) C(4).
over thinking this shit defeats the purpose of music anyway man. relax and practice

thoughts on this idea?
i don't like that it pedals on g, i think it needs to go somewhere, either in that head or the next section. i don't know if I'll even use it.
>>
>>74359287
It depends on what I'm starting with and what I need the chords for.
If I have a melody, some times I'll just layer those notes so I have chords instead of a melody (because if they both play at the same time it'd sound cheesy), but if I need to have them at the same time (like melody for lead and chords for pad, or melody for bass and chord for lead) then I'll make new chords from scratch to complement the rest of the elements while not being directly derived by them.

Another way is to start with a 3-note arpeggio that changes every bar or something, and then just make it into chords.

If you're starting from scratch without an idea and want to start with either melody or chord, I think chords are easier to turn into good melodies than vice versa, so I'd start with chords.
On a semi-related note, I think it's easier to make good melodies and chords out of drums than vice versa, so if the song you want to make has complex/intricate drum rhythms I'd start with them (but if it's a simple repeating pattern like a 4-to-the-floor or trap 808 you can add them later) because adding the drums changes the whole feel of the track, and if it's complex drums you end up composing melodies and chords "blindly" because you'll only be hearing them without the drums, therefore without knowing how they'll sound like at the end.

But that's just my opinion. I imagine everyone's brain works differently.

>>74360072
what is the maximum number of notes you can put in a chord before it just gets retarded?
do you leave an octave of space between both hands?
fyi i was stupid and bought a 25 key controller so i cant really get both hands in there with some chords. atm i use one finger on the left and whatever on the right.

For pure FM (well, it's actually phase modulation but it's practically the same thing), yeah, it's still up there. I don't think there's much else you can do with pure FM than what FM8 does.
I hear Bazille is supposed to be very good, but it has a pretty different approach and doesn't really replace FM8.

Anybody have some idea on how Arca made the feedback "synth" he used on Piel?
It comes in at about 0:15
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1QSgdMPI5g

Would you have to use a physical amp and microphone setup to create the feedback (in which case, how would you control the level so it sustains at a reasonable volume?), then create a multisample of multiple recordings at various frequencies, or could you create it with a VST distortion plugin somehow?

>>74361992
man fuck that album cover lol
I don't know how arca did it but have you tried just doing actual feedback? Put a distortion/waveshaper/compressor/amp modeler/whatever in the loop, and a very short delay to tune it.
You can also do similar stuff with a comb filter, which is basically just a very short delay, might be easier to tune with keytrack since it's regarded as a filter.

What doesn't make sense?

If you put nothing on them it makes no difference.
If you put different effects it does.
It's what lets you control how smooth/abrupt the transition between the bands happen (since they're just crossfaded and don't just go from 100% to 0% between one frequency and the other).

Basic EQs aren't very good for multiband splitting because you have very little control over the crossover points, which means that they can colour the sound unintentionally. It's much better to use a dedicated, transparent multiband splitter. Doesn't Ableton have one?

>>74363548
But they don't color the sound at all, since you can invert the phase of the whole rack and check it against the dry signal, and it's always complete silence.

>Doesn't Ableton have one?
It has a multiband compressor where you can solo the bands but it's not transparent.

>Basic EQs aren't very good for multiband splitting because you have very little control over the crossover points
I'm not using a LPF and a HPF on the same frequency to achieve it.
I'm using a phase cancellaton trick to make some bands with filters and the others with the opposite of the same filter. As shown in pic related.
If you're not familiar with Ableton I can explain what's in the image if you want.

Also I usually use Fabfilter Pro-Q2 for this, since it also lets me change the slope, as well as give me a linear phase mode, and I can also unmap the frequency macro and assign the frequencies manually to specific notes for more precision when it's required.
>>
What's up y'all, went on a YouTube binge for 2 months now I can't stand basic bitch tritone chord progressions in one consistent key and gotta do stupid shit like what if I did the same damn chord over and over but I raised it by a perfect fifth or a perfect fourth or a major third or a minor third or something each time and did appropriate inversions to keep it flowing. I don't even bother with laying out all the notes to the scale in a separate channel for a reference anymore it's just whatever the fuck sounds good. I just used 3 halfsteps in a row in my chord progression? Whatever idiot it sounds fucking great and I'm not going to stop any time soon.

>>74363656
Ah, I see. Yeah that seems like a pretty good solution. Weird that Ableton doesn't have a multiband FX rack built in though.

>>74363947
If it's stereo you can try splitting mid / side or using Kn0ck0ut or iZotope RX's fancier stereo isolation tools. There's also Sony's SpectraLayers if it's mono or you just want more harmonic precision but that's miserable. They did use it to make stereo versions of Beach Boys songs or something so it's definitely professional quality if you do it right, it's not just some toy.

Ableton has more of a "simple" approach, where things are in a way limited, but let you do whatever you want anyway because of how you can create your own effects yourself.
Some times it's a pain, but you can save them, so you only have to make them once.

I have to add that Ableton also has a 3-band EQ like on a DJ mixer (pic related), but it's not transparent.

It's that thing again - you're getting there with the backing track but your voice doesn't suit that style, there's no urgency in it.

Just did a bunch of dominant seventh chords rising by a fourth each time, did inversions to keep it flowing, and made a few changes to the harmonies to make it flow even better. It's such a cool way to get a colorful progression started.

https://clyp.it/uatcgdlm

Please, try some dumb shit it's so fun. There's so many options in harmony this is like the best thing ever to play with.

btw it's Pianoteq if you're curious, not a huge multi-gigabyte sample library. The newer ones aren't properly cracked yet but 2.3 works and sounds fine. Ought to be an installer on SoulSeek at some point.

Literally a fake picture anyone could make in paint in 10 second by pasting parts of two different screenshots.
I posted screenshots too of me doing the same thing, along with an old video of some guy on youtube doing exactly that (while also showing the phasing it causes to the waveform).
He kept telling me to change irrelevant things (and then concede victory) when they changed nothing and I kept asking for him to upload this transparent rack he was using in the screenshot, and I'm still waiting.

It was all an attempt to troll me and you either managed to fall for it despite not even being the target or you're still trying to troll me.

>>74364405

Makes literally no difference which side you flip, or if you flip the parts individually, as I proved when I uploaded the second screenshot with the utility in exactly the same place as the guy's screenshot, and it obviously made no difference.

>>74364405
>all of your shit clipping
The fact that you care about clipping on an empty project I created just to test this can only mean two things:
2- You have the intelligence of a child who can't concentrate on what's important and has to get carried away by irrelevant details
1- You're just trolling. Poorly.

You could've made the fake video, faked that, fullscreened it on your computer, then filmed the video with your phone.
Super easy way to add fake legitimacy to anything.

>I'm thinking if you couldn't get it to work on your own you'll somehow fuck up the preset too and deny that it works desu
How can I fuck up the preset?
I just have to import it and do nothing to it.
whether it works or not doesn't depend on what I do with it, because I'd be doing nothing to it except applying it as is.

Along with this more recent one I posted in the other thread:

I think this is much better proof than some guy's screenshot or video, since I couldn't have falsified these, but anything made by one of you could have been.

Also I'm still waiting for a transparent multiband splitter rack, which would take seconds to make, and even less to upload, but nobody sent anything.

duplicate an existing track, put 100% reverb on it. Resample and time stretch

god damn that's overkill for his question lmao

good idea though
>>
>>74365908
The stuff before the drop sounds too long to me. I feel like I should be waiting for something to arrive and it kind of ruins it for me.

After the drop, maybe it's just me, but those high-pitched sounds (starting a 1:07) trigger my tinnitus and are a bit too "piercing".
Granted I'm not listening with proper equipment, but your listeners likely won't either, so it's up to you to decide if it's too high or not.

Those sounds at 1:45 that sound like a dog or unoiled door sound too "lowpassed" to me.
Maybe you were going for a lo-fi vibe or the sample didn't have higher frequencies in the first place, but it sounds too muffled to me.

The rest is fine, and the song is pretty good overall, so I'm definitely nitpicking here.
I'll definitely keep it on my hard drive lol.
Do you have a SC or place where you upload your stuff?

unphase (turn off the utility) under any band in the inverted rack and you'll have a doubled track. i can't believe you've been using multiband compressors that fucking wrong
>>
>>74366130
This is exactly like the racks I made.
If you're giving me argument ammo, thank you.
If you're trying to disprove me, you failed.

It even says:
>Another approach to building a Multiband Effect Rack in Live is to load a Multiband Dynamics device on three separate device chains in an Audio Effect Rack, and then enable the Solo button for each independent frequency band. This method sounds more transparent than using separate EQ filters and works well. However, the sound seems colored and is not 100% transparent. What is transparent you may ask? In this example, a transparent sounding Audio Effect Rack will sound the same when enabled or disabled. There is no audible change in the sound when toggling the rack on and off.

>wait is this why you don't know how to use the multiband compressor..? it still fucking plays the rest of the track outside of the band you're compressing dipshit. the guy in the first video is an idiot

I thought it would be interesting if we had an open questions on /prod/ more.

1. What's the latest "ah-ha" moment you've had about production/producing?

2. What's something you're working on getting better at?

Personally, my latest ah-ha moment was during analysis of reference tracks and how things change section to section (usually new lyrics/slightly higher in range, new bass line and saving specific instruments for specific sections.)

and rn, i'm working on getting better at creating more interesting and unique transitionary sounds/moment.

all of the "less is more" advice about eq, reverb, and basically everything has been bullshit

organizing and deleting from my sample library makes getting good drum racks about 100 times faster

2. What's something you're working on getting better at?

No, the reverbs and the instrument specific plugins are worthless.

Everything else is pretty good. Good selection of Comps.

In the unlikely case you're not just trolling, you're supposed to compare the after-splitter signal with the dry one, not with the signal of another rack, you fucking retard.

>>74367104
Compressors, i find, are difficult to explain in words. You gotta use build the aural memory and apply it slowly so you can hear it's effect. Just test a few ones and see which ones you like this best. Start with your DAWs native plugins.

For widening, I highly recommend Izoptope Imager. Gives you complete control of all the bands AND can be automated so you can use the stereo field almost as an effect.

This song is a good example of it. Notice how everything is rather intimate until the synth at 1:45 comes. Everything instantly becomes wider. Really grabs your attention.

Maybe you're confusing me with the guy I was talking with, since I accused him of doing it multiple times.
In fact, I always respond thoroughly point after point.

>>74367378
Nope.
OTT, which stands for OverTheTop, is a very aggressive and "in your face" compression preset for the multiband dynamics.

What I want them to give me, is an audio effect rack which splits the spectrum into different bands so tou can add different effects to each one without affecting the others.
Using the Multiband Dynamics device for this though, colors the sound, as shown by the multiple links I posted where people point this out and even show it with practical examples.
Some Anons here decided to troll me and say that it doesn't color the sound, so I was asking them to back their statement by uploading a rack that splits the frequencies using Multiband Dynamics without coloring the sound.
>>
>>74367500
>implying people that care about coloring wouldn't already be doing this

Why do you even care about this? Your music sounds like shit.
>>
>>74367448
Organize a hierarchy in your tracks. What is most important and what is the least important. This of course changes from section to section.

>>74367500
fine if ott is out of the question

>make instrument rack
>add multiple EQs (perferably something that gives you a visual of the sound) to seperate the bands
>label them so you don't get confused.

>>
>>74367623
>>implying people that care about coloring wouldn't already be doing this
Doing What?
Using phase-cancellation to make a transparent frequency splitter?

>Why do you even care about this?
My technique doesn't introduce phasing issues, doesn't change the waveform of the audio I put through it, and offers a lot more control over the parameters, as explained throughout the old thread (>>74315652)

>Your music sounds like shit.
?
I never even posted my music here.

>>74367699
I don't think you understand the situation here.
I made a rack that does it cleanly and transparently using a phase inversion trick (I uploaded multiple ones in the old thread. just CTRL+F "zippyshare" and you'll find them).
They're a bit more complicated than normal (and your method, which isn't transparent and changes the sound a lot), so everyone is giving me shit for going overkill when using the Multiband Dynamics is perfectly fine.
I responded that it's not perfectly fine because it colors the sound and introduces phasing issues, but they keep saying it's not true despite me proving it many times (the only proof they had is a screenshot which is obviously fake because I copied the settings from it and it didn't work, on top of being obviously impossible).
So I was asking them to prove it's possible to have a transparent frequency splitter that uses Multiband Dynamics, not because I want it for myself (my racks are still superior because they offer more control and are lighter on the CPU, other than being transparent), but because I was challenging them to substantiate their claim.
The only racks they've uploaded are the two in this thread, of which one was wrong (the guy put two racks against each other instead of putting a single rack against the dry signal, which is completely retarded), and the other one isn't working so I'm trying to see if updating my old software will make it work.
We'll see if they're right after I've finished updating.
>>
>>74367750
good! exactly like that!

Now I personally like to use the vocals as sort of the a guidepost. No matter what I do to the other parts are doing, the vocals are front and center. A good trick I do is to duplicate the vocal track and make it mono and the other one in stereo; this ensures that you'll still have a good clear signal coming through and you can use the lvls to balance them out.

>>74367873
im not sure what you mean but the vocal tracks are mono except for a stereo reverb, and a stereo chorus on the backing
does the track bother you in any of these aspects mentioned on >>74367448, or you notice another aspect to make it sound clearer and closer to the reference?
>>
>>74368207
The only thing that stands out is that the guitar and vocals are fighting for the same freq. ranges.

try changing the pattern for the guitar, have it hold longer chords, while you're singing and then your lines are done, add the more syncopated rhythm you have already to "fill in the blanks" and help the motion of the song/kill dead air.

Ok, I've just finished installing 9.7.3 and the racks works.
Just like this one [>>74366807], there's a frequency-splitter made with Multiband Dynamics, which, to see if it's transparent (meaning, if it's not active, the output signal is exactly the same as the input) is checked against an inverted version OF THE SAME FUCKING THING.
You're supposed to check it against the dry signal so you can see if there are differences between the input and the output.
Doung what you just did only shows you if there are differences between one rack and the other, which is useless because it's two of the same rack, and also because it's not what we're trying to find here.

If we do it properly and check one rack against the dry (rack-less) signal, it's clear that the result doesn't cancel out to silence because there are differences in phase introduced by the multiband compressors.

But of course you're just trying to troll me and aren't actually serious, are you?
I really don't know why am I still wasting all this time responding to you.
It's clear you've worked on it yourself and saw with your own eyes that it doesn't cancel out, and yet you keep saying stuff that nobody who's tried it (like you did) would say.
There is no way you aren't just pretending to be stupid by pretending that I'm stupid.

I could imagine Dexed would be great too (hell it's even free and open source, still up to date) but I don't have any experience with paid VSTs though or even VSTs right now.

>>74376671
i liked that ring mod solo thing but i get pretty tired of the albini bandwagon, particularly for in utero. I love a lot of the stuff he's worked on but nirvana was never much of an albini band- they benefited from a more produced sound as opposed to the more raw straightfoward stuff he's known for

>>74361169
serum has fm "capabilities" but i'm not sure if that means full fledged.

there's some shit that i would add to fm8 but it doesn't sound dated at all

TFW, you're the only girl in your subgenre virtually (Alison Wonderland and Rezz maybe come closest but they don't do any Moombahton), so when labels hear your demos assume you're a guy....(I only submit demos with my producer name which isn't exactly feminine...but still!).

Been using Upwork to try find cheap engineers. Have one who guy is doing 70 a song fully mastered but how he's just being a useless cunt and taking forever.

Any other decent websites where I can outsource mixing and mastering that is somewhat reputable? Is Fiver a better option?

/Prod/ I need your help with something kinda especific.

I'va been an instrumental and composer as hobby for several years, but only resently I wanted to enter the world of music production so I could record with better quality my music...
So I bought a Focusrite interface and a friend shared his Fabfilter Total bundle with me so I could start with eq, compression, etc.
Now, I swear to fucking god I'm going to read all the documentation that it's posted in the OP, but for the time being could someone share a Youtube video detailing the steps to "clean up" recordings of instruments when using a mic? please
>>
>>74377941
re record it or try some shit like izotope rx
>>
>>74377933
it doesn't matter, but i sure as fuck won't let someone call me fat when I'm not...and "old", I'm 22.

anyways who actually on here talks about production and what they make? what's everyone using? I just bought a beat step pro, and it's making life 100000x more easier. Anyone use a Rolli? Wanna buy, but they look kind of stupid.
>>
>>74377933
He was working on it and keeping in contact every couple of days for 4 weeks, now he send a message very 4 or 5 days making excuses why he can't upload the work space. Even offered more money to get it back off him.

I'm not the one offering a 2 week turn around mix and master for 4 tracks for $70. He is.
>>
>>74377941
Noise reduction does a lot of damage, you're much better off getting a clean recording to begin with.
>>
>>74377957
>>74378121
Ok thanks, I'll try to re-record tomorrow.
Also, my mic picks some notes EXTRA loud and weird from my cello, what could I use to adjust that? a multiband compressor? a normal compressr? EQ?
>>
>>74377856
I just moved so I'm still unpacking, but I've got out my novation launchkey for most of my synth and bass production, launchpad, and just got a beat step pro (which is actually a great tool for just about everything). interface is an apogee quartet and monitors are rokits.
>>
>>74378024
>Rolli
roland?

idk your hand looks bloated or something. why do you give a fuck what strangers call you online you're so sensitive

try lurking for like 5 minutes cunt

>>74378028
AHAHAHA 4 tracks for 70? i thought you meant each wtf

personally i mix pretty fast and thought most guys who know what's up did too- i'd look for somebody else if i were you. maybe he's got some personal shit going on who knows

>>74378166
always rerecord if you have the option

that sounds more like a player problem. mb compression is at the bottom of the list of things to try usually. normal compressor probably, eq if you mean bright/harsh rather than loud. idk it's been a minute since i've played cello
>>
>>74378166
mic it more carefully
>>
>>74378287
no it's called the rolli seaboard or some shit. Flume got given one and I've seen heaps of producers use them lately. They look weird, but I've heard they're actually pretty cool.
>>
>>74378326
ive seen the roli seaboard it does look cool but it is expensive as fuck i cant afford one
>>
>>74378425
I think I might buy the 49 to update from my launchkey, because I don't really need the launchkey AND a launchpad...I was going to get a Native komplete kontrol,..but same price as the seaboard.
>>
>>74378497
if i was going to buy that i would save for the grand stage because i cant deal with just 49 keys it is 3000 dollars though
>>
>>74378553
my budget is $1500 - would you have any other suggestions?

get what you want i just think 49 keys is not worth it for any controller because you run out of space playing with 2 hands

i work very hard outside of music to afford nice things. (hence as someone pointed out my hands are swollen - try doing 20-30 saddles up a day on 20-30 horses..pays good tho)

god you're so one note shut the fuck up we get it you have tits life is great

>>74378892
i lol'd out loud thanks anon

>>74378762
okay?
>>
>>74377941
what do you mean by "clean up". Is it unusable?
Then re-record or RX.
If not then remove frequencys you don't need with high/low pass. like everything below 100hz for voice. This depends greatly on the instrument you recorded, look up the Frequency range. Then add/remove freq with bell filters wich sound good/bad. 250-500 is often muddy try remove 1-4 dB, 1-2 kHz try boosting 1-4 dB there is the clarity.
Read the mixing engineers handbook.
>>
>>74378762
So you're a female 22yo moombahton producer with a non-feminine name who got early support from RL Grime and works with horses.

Be careful with all this info. Being associated with this website isn't really something you want, as it could potentially damage your career.
Especially if you want to bank on the "girl producer" thing (as you should) because the people who care about that are the kind of people that would hate you for posting here.

Also, upload something on clyp.it
If you're as good as you say, I want to hear your stuff.

does deadmau5 actually make practical use of all the shit in his studio or does he just own most of it because he can afford to?

i see all these meme studios with wall to wall gear but then the owners end up using a bunch of VSTs and maybe integrating 3 or 4 pieces of hardware from their vast arrays of gear into their projects.

KVR Audio

>>74362993
not always the "best" in every area but still high tier at the very least. their plugins are ugly as shit with their 90s uis but that is probably because they never had to lure people in with flash uis.

>>74363416
any chair that costs more than 250$ is a meme. also what this guy said >>74363445
>>
>>74380667
It's not about using all of it all the time. It's more of a "why not having them so if I happen to need/want them I can use them" type of thing.

So yes, it's part "needing them" and part having them because they can.

Totally agree, just started a euro rack with the intent on filling it with mostly euro effects modules
>>
>>74377941
The key to a clearer single is EQ, but you gotta be percise.

With Fabfilter Q-2, you get a spectral view of the sound, and then cut out the lows and other frequencies you don't need. Add other brand and reduce the gain on them to really shape around the signal, but again, with patience and carefully.
