Is it worth moving forward with? Dunno what I can do with it to keep it different and progressing.

>>68737427
>add more leads in a new part
>remove hats, snare whatever
>add it all together after the newly introduced leads stop
>etc.

>>68737515
so it is worth continuing? Is the progression decent enough?
I didn't know since I took the easy route and wrote it in C major.

>>68737739
please kindly fuck off, there is a soundcloud thread for you to shill in. If you would like us to listen to something for critique, upload it to clyp.it.

been looking for a /prod/ all day, and a lack of one means I've actually been working on a track for an extended period of time for a change.

>https://clyp.it/2mbhy5kk

I feel like this is pretty much done, I know I could do with a change in chord progression or something but I just want to move onto something else. Any last minute tips before I post it to soundcloud tomorrow? I feel like the "bass" pad and kick aren't quite right, but can't get them any better than this

>>68737427
I'd keep going if it was mine, sounds a bit like world's end girlfriend, would be great if you kept going in that direction (ie glitchy). agreed with the anon above on variation.

>>68737706
Yeah, sure finish it.
The progression does sound a bit cheesy.
The C doesn't really matter but you can transpose it do a different key if you want to.

>>68737790
didn;t see any soundcloud thread and saw this

what do?

>>68737889
Last I saw, there are two.

>>68737076
>>68727468

>>68737889
make a soundcloud thread, or upload to clyp

>>68737889
kek pleb

>>68737739
>>68737889
You also posted in those damn threads you shill.
Fuck off.

Does anyone have any neato ways to make a thick reese bassline or 808?

I am using serum and can't get it to sound quite right.

is there literally any potential i could squeeze out of this or should i just trash it?

PROD THREAD FINALLY
https://clyp.it/lvxm2sxt
background music guy here again with some normie-core.

Mostly looking for feedback on the mix but all types are accepted.

what do i need to hook up my mpc 1000 to ableton live?
I want to use it as a midi controller and whatnot

got a 2nd gen scarlett 2i2 studio set for under 170€
how did i do

what the fuck? why is it so expensive there? i got my 2i4 with an mxl990, stand and cable combo deal for 200USD only a couple years ago.

how much better are they claiming this second gen is?

>>68738450
>>68738502
forgot to (you)

>>68738450
I have a first gen 6i6, and I for-the-most part am happy with it.
It occasionally stops responding though that is likely due to me being a retard and not knowing how to hook things up.

Thats a rather steep price bud, unless deflation is becoming a real problem over there in Brexitland, I think you paid a little much.

>>68738502
dunno, im from germany. the usual price for the set is around 200. at this point it was cheaper for me than buying the scarlett and headphones and a mic and a cable seperately.
i think the second gen is quite a bit better, though i dont remember the changes right now.

Ey /prod/s. What do you think of this one off magicwire esque instrumentation? just pulling sounds in, no writing
https://clyp.it/hsf0zwvb

>>68738243
way too straight.. Not even a march as it should be. Kill the bad clap.
>>68738140
save it for later, make sure to tag Key / tempo
>>68737846
repeats itself a little much pas the 1min mark don't you think?

>>68739351
>repeats itself a little much pas the 1min mark don't you think?

definitely. not sure what to do about it that doesn't involve a large reworking though. any suggestions?

>>68737846
>https://clyp.it/2mbhy5kk
me again

>>68739351
I think the lead is a bit too "on the grid", or just not timed quite right, I can't really tell but it sounds dodgy to my ear

>>68739351
What do you mean too straight? Too quantized? Also why should it be a march? I didn't understand you post, anon :(

>>68738243
>https://clyp.it/lvxm2sxt
agreed with the other anon, if you're gonna have the melody and bass playing in such a straight rhythm then you need to do something different with the percussion

>>68739538
not that anon but every note for every instrument seems to be one two three four one two three four, there's no rhythmic variation

>>68739524
ah yeah it's all just 1 take, first pass. Just getting the instruments together for the jam so to speak
>>68739484
You have to change the guitar arpeggios up a little bit at like 1:08 IMO. A subtle 'switch' should be felt. If that's tonic then go to IV is whatmsayin.

>>68739538
Think of a march. The style. It has a subtle swagger even though it's just '1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2', and that's the tempo for "normie-core" type stuff like you're aiming.

>>68738433
a midi interface and midi cables

What are some good synthesizers that are compatible with Linux? Recently switched to Renoise on Linux.

>>68739646
yeah, thanks. gotta figure out some other chords that still match the vocal melody. I'm no music theory pro so it could be tough

>>68739826
http://linux-sound.org/linux-vst-plugins.html

>>68740049
thanks friend

>>68738140
Ok, quick questions, legitimately speaking, how does one make this shit?
Does it take any theory knowledge?

No offense towards the producers of this type, but is this music?

>>68740179
wait are you asking literally how i made it or?

>>68740204
Sure, do you write scores into your daw then make changes, or use samples?

>>68740241
more of the former but a lot of the times i just improvise and keep the stuff i like

>>68740277
Are there people that actually listen to that genre in their free time?
I couldn't see myself doing so, and I would view it being mostly somekind of ambiance in the background of a movie or game.

>>68740340
well thats sort of what im going for so at least in that sense is there anything i could change?

>>68740418
also here's another one in a similar fashion
https://clyp.it/1t10d113

>>68740451
If that one is yours aswell, I would compress the peaks a tad, as they stick out and hurt the ears a tad.

On your original, maybe lessen the bass and lows to allow some of the mids to come out more and not be royally fucked and dominated by the bass.

https://youtu.be/eAk3gqT0vkg
This should be in the OP pasta.

Also, finally payday today, /prod/. Wanted to wait until at least today to buy my first paid synth. I'm torn again between the analog microbrute and the soft synth Serum (I discarded Zebra 2 because the interface seemed a bit impractical and it had no good presets).

If my main goal is to make music and to pick a synth that I learn thoroughly and is my go-to synth,which should I pick? It's easy to think that Serum is the most versatile... is minibrute mostly just for people looking specifically to try analog synthesis without breaking the bank?

So I put together my first sample pack and have no idea where to share it, anybody know any good subreddits or anything where I can show it to people.

It isn't free.

Just wondering if anyone has any experience selling their own sample packs.

Been working on this for > 200h according to my DAW. Didn't feel like it. It's almost finished! Everything is pretty well mixed I think, I just have to fix that stupid solo at the beginning, add small details, master and I'll be done I guess

https://clyp.it/fa5e0icx

What is this kind of music even called? I usually compose one part, and let myself get carried away by the flow of things, adding parts after it, before it, which usually results in a patchwork of genres like this
All critiques welcome, please be harsh

btw, I was talking about adding detail, but it might not be clear.
Take this song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHs99iVpnXU and notice the huge diversity of chimes from the beginning to approx 0:35 (not to talk about what comes after).
I'd like to do that but 1) I'm almost sure chimes wouldn't fit and 2) I have no fucking clue what would fit for such harmonic enrichment in my track. Any idea welcome!

new to this shit just fucking around
https://clyp.it/sg41ynh0
any reply appreciated

>>68740921
Holy shit that's fucking awesome, I love the sidechaining.

It sounds like some form of house, but then again that mostly comes down to the tempo.
If 120 to at most 140, its some subgenre of house, maybe prog, maybe electro

>>68740966
Not terrible, definitely better than the shit I was making when I first got my DAW. Who was I to know I couldn't make a song out of mostly pitch-changing snares?

That being said, spend more time in your program. If you have a focus of what you want to get the best at, say a group or a certain producer, start trying to mimic their work, maybe throw in some things from other genres.
Eventually, hopefully atleast, you will find your style.

>>68740974
Thank you! I've had quite a hard time to set the sidechain just right haha
Until now I've always said what I was doing was progressive house because that's how I would literally describe it in an accurate way, but what we call progressive house nowadays is totally not that sooo...
Thank you again!

>>68741053
I want to hear your song of pitch-changing snares, I thought only Savant was degenerate enough to do such things

>>68741132
That's long gone, and believe me it wasn't music, unless you consider the sound of FL Studio's defualt snare sound being played non-stop, climbing the piano roll, and creating really retarded snare chords.

>>68740974
when u say sidechaining how can you tell which is side chained to what

sorry im noob

>>68740451
>https://clyp.it/sg41ynh0
this is one of the ones i was a bit more proud of in this style
https://clyp.it/szdi53ov

>>68741221
wwwoooomb wwoooomb woooomb
Its not too difficult

>>68741199
Here's one of my early joke projects though, https://clyp.it/groxsjyx

Switched computers like three years ago, and I didn't have much saved from before.

>>68740966
I don't know if you're using presets or not for your synths, but if you're new to production, here's what you should know: as good as a preset might sound, you will never be able to make it sound better if you don't understand the process by which your synth outputs sound, and if you use too much presets you will get too lazy to get into this understanding mindset. When you think a song is finished, get into mixing and mastering. This really is what makes the difference between zero and hero.
Besides that, good track! If you get familiar with your DAW and more production techniques you can turn this into fire

>>68741290
Literally what is wrong with only using presets?

>>68741310
nothing as long as you know how to change them to better suit your music.

>>68741310
I'm not saying using presets is wrong, but you can't deny the fact that any producer needs to know how his tools work. I think overusing presets when you're new prevents you from actually have the will to understand how your synth works.
I also personally think presets limits creativity.

>>68741053
thank you I really want to spend more time producing but im kind of from the third world and in a bit of a mental rustle
>>68741290
thanks
I did use a random preset but messed around with most of the knobs
can you recommend me some sites/lessons on synthesis
I really only know a bit of music theory from playing guitar

on a scale from 1 to 10, how shitty?

>>68741221
The most frequent thing is the bass being sidechained to the kick, for two reasons:
- both of these instruments use the low frequency range, and having overlapping frequency range in the lows make it too 'crowded' and your mix will sound moody. You want to avoid that, unless it's part of your sound design.
- having that bass sound going up and down in rhythm with the kick is somehow satisfying to hear, and people eventually started to sidechain any instrument they wanted (even high pitched instruments, with which you don't have that bothering frequency overlapping stuff), just for fun

>>68738243
>https://clyp.it/lvxm2sxt
Sounds like there should be a B-list celebrity reading a car insurance advertisement over it.

>>68741368
If you're using FLS and you can understand American English with a heavy peasant accent, you definitely want to check this guy's channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/SeamlessR/playlists
If you're using something else then I can't really help...
But keep in mind that you should remember techniques. Any technique you've learnt can be easily translated in any DAW you're familiar with. The same goes for synths, they all use the same basic elements. As long as you know how it work, you will be ok. The rest is only practice!

>>68741606
I said "if you're using FLS", but even if you're not, you might find some valuable content about synthesis on this channel.

>>68741387

pretty average turd there, my man

Anybody know a good place to download a lot of samples?
Preferably jazzy stuff. Also, anywhere where I can find acoustic bass samples?

I'm getting really tired of having no midi connectivity with my old Juno 60. Iwish I could just sell it but I don't quite have a replacement for the sound. Is it really worth getting the DIN to midi sync? Seems like a huge pain in the wallet to use with only one piece of gear.

On that note, what is everybody thinking about the DM12? Possible Juno upgrade?

How do I get better at not giving up?
I can work and work on a track but even by the time it's almost finished I realize it wasn't really what I wanted to make so I just stop. I open FL and end up closing a few minutes later usually because I listen to a few samples and just realize I won't be able to do what I want to do.

>>68737706
what the root of the key is doesnt matter a whole lot because if it was in C# there wouldnt be any discernible difference

>>68743275
you just have to force yourself to finish shitty tracks until you get better at it

>>68737427
that's wedding music
>>68737846
i like that rising bass thing in the background overall it is a very nice and coherent song i would listen to it, it needs to get a little more balanced, otherwise it's very much fine
>>68738140
i guess it's just one synth with delays with bass
>>68738243
that whistle could be quieter overall its fine
>>68739351
nice tempo, it kinda makes the work for you, mix is nice, these plucks with bass and percussion, although that improv, yeah, you can make it sound better, no hesitation
>>68739567
i've heard that melody before, it's Bonobo's Black Sands
>>68740451
try slower attacks on few things, it sound too sharp, maybe just for me
>>68740921
yeah it's nice man, just hold on to one sound for a little longer, they are interesting but they end so fast, whole track feels like it's a set rather than one tune
it feels like some kind of folk house
production wise it's very decent
>>68740966
weird percussion, not letting anything roll, it stutters, it's annoying, maybe just for me, but i guess thats the thing you were looking for
>>68741233
that's the kind of music that only people who made it should listen to, it's too personal and its context is way out of reach
>>68741310
nothing wrong, presets are great when you are stuck with few bars, don't know how to proceed, just load a preset, you can change it later, delete it, whatever
whatever works really
and fuck people

i am learning about music production and theory and what not
but i just can't fucking make even one tune god damnit i just can't
everytime i turn ableton on i make 16 bars and delete all of it, then 5 minutes later i turn it on again to repeat it fuck
i wish i could post piece of music there but i guess i don't have it in me

How do I make an automation clip on FL 10? I just want to fade in a pattern but I can't figure out how.

>>68737427
Is anyone else getting mixed emotions from this one?
>>68737846
this is pretty great
do have a soundcloud or bandcamp?

>>68739351
this would be kick ass vidya music besides the odd rhythm stuff at the end

Does anyone know if the Ableton 9.7 crack that recently came out is a virus?

>>68743633
just buy it goy

>>68743673
sure, shoot me the money.

>>68743689
If you aren't already making money from music without ableton, then you don't need ableton

>>68743706
sure, shoot me the money for a live recording studio.

>>68743542
wow, thanks, that's good to hear.
soundcloud is https://soundcloud.com/alexbutterworth (hope it's okay that I've posted it in here, wouldn't have if I wasn't asked), this is my first song in this style though, I tend to not be able to stick to one genre for more than one track haha


>>68743451
>i like that rising bass thing in the background overall it is a very nice and coherent song i would listen to it, it needs to get a little more balanced, otherwise it's very much fine

thanks! I actually just added the bass today as an afterthought, thought it was a bit empty without it. what do you mean by more balanced?

>i've heard that melody before, it's Bonobo's Black Sands

I take it this was intended for someone else?

anyway, with regards to you not being able to finish anything. DON'T DELETE what you've written. even if you don't like it at the time, maybe you'll listen again in a few months when you've got more skill/ideas and you can add something else and make something good out of it bit by bit. I've got literally hundreds of little shitty bits of almost-nothing, and only finished about 10 songs in 5 years, but every now and again will go back and listen through some old stuff, sometimes can even throw 2/3 of them together

>>68743689
i got ableton suite on sale for $400 when live 9 was announced and they had a good deal but you can also buy second hand licenses for the same price

>>68743817
sure, shoot me $400.

>>68743836
Why Ableton? Why not Reaper?

>>68743836
pm'd u the money :^)

>>68743836
sent ;)

>>68743633
no idea, but you don't necessarily need the latest version (assuming you haven't already got an older one). I'm running a cracked 9.1 no problem

>>68743865
yea most of the updates havent been to the software since 9.5 after that most of them are for push

>>68743737
>recording studio

Wtf do you need that for

>>68743842
>>68743865
b/c session view, the new simpler, the new filters, and other time-saving shit that doesn't exist in reaper or earlier versions of ableton.

i'll just download 9.5 and keep asking in these threads until a reasonable answer shows up. thanks guys.

>>68743903
9.5 has a virus too though

>>68743942
torrents would have been taken down by now.

2/10. hostility is too apparent.

>>68743942
>>68743903
What virus?
Most torrents have a keygen/crack "virus".

>>68743961
By whom? The torrent cops? It's the Wild West out there, man

>>68743994
More like a "keygen/crack" virus. It's a virus, dude, no matter what it says it is. Why would you believe something a cracker put on the internet?

>>68743961
if youre paranoid about a virus test it in a virtual machine first

if i was using a cracked version i would just wait with 9.5 like you said until they stop releasing updates for 9 so you can get the fully patched version

>>68740921
the chord progression seems kind of boring but you write well despite it

>>68744052
>Why would you believe something a cracker put on the internet?

Yo, /prod/ bros, just letting you know.

>>68744768

>>68744293
This is awesome.

>>68744840
>https://clyp.it/i0l2zwn4
You mean by modulation or just changing around the order of the chords/using other chords within the key?

>>68744806
I know some self taught guitar, electric / acoustic, I've been dicking around in FL and a keyboard for years now, and if it counts, I had choir in high school.
>>68744840
Yeah, Uematsu has influenced me quite a bit. I've accidentally ripped off FF overworld themes before.

How can I make music similar to that of Neon Indian? I can play the piano mildly but I'm not a professional.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Also, OP, I think it sounds like a more experimental high school band. No offense but not something I would want to listen unironically.

>>68744984

rofl!

>>68744901
theory will help you out with writing music but its tedious imo

>>68744905
I don't really have any hardware so I'm wondering what I would need to make music like this.

>>68744849
Thanks mate
>>68744935
>>68744991
I know there's an element of "silly" in there, trying to figure out what that is. I was thinking maybe I don't lock the groove well enough. Maybe that's it, but anyway if it helps I was trying to go for a coltrane sound in some of the licks.
>>68744984
I'm a noob to jazz myself, but let me tell you a story. I went up to a jazz musician who was practicing standards like Autumn Leaves and So What, stuff like that. He pretty much gave me the run down. See, normally in music the root notes of the chords are played as well as the bassline playing the note. But jazz is all about efficiency, especially in the piano. since the bass playing is already playing the root, theres no need for the piano to play it. so the root is ommitted, and instead extensions like add9s and 6s as well as flat 5s are added to the chord, and inverted in such a way so that to make chord changes easier without hopping around the keybed. i was using inverted 7th chords and flat 5 7ths at time, most of it from there on was just intuition. I sometimes play 6/9 chords or add 6 chords with 2 hands by playing for example say you're on C: csus2 on the left hand and D sus 2 on the right hand. together youd get a 6/9 chord which is an easy way to mimic that jazz sound if youre just going for atmospheric stuff. minor add 9ths and stuff like that too...just learn chords and mess around, then learn jazz standards to get into all that good old 2-5-1 shit. do that then just try to immerse yourself. listen to a lot of funk, acid jazz, standards, anything with a groove. groove is a universal language, but you gotta get groove to be able to groove. for these jazzy yet funk stuff i was influenced by bands like Jamiroquai, Groove Collective, Corduroy, and guys like Weather Report but more of the above bands.
>>68744999
bebop had a really good band for sure. drums are something i still need to work on, keeping a tight groove requires a lot of feel.

Yeah, I could definitely hear that. I wouldn't say it's entirely silly because I do hear a conscious effort to have a more avant-garde band sound.

>>68745152
Thanks for the jazz knowledge and band reccs. I actually have a huge ass fake book with a couple of my favorite standards in it. Will listen and practice.

>>68745294
Yeah, by "I have no hardware" I meant more like synthesizers etc. and not MIDI, which I have.

>>68745181
Yeah, I thought so. I can tell some elements like drums which are definitely recorded in studio rather than merely using a DAW but most of it sounds like it could be concocted with a DAW. I'm asking because I feel like Neon Indian, specifically with their last record, have made chillwave/vaporwave that is much more engaging and thematic while a lot of what I hear now from those genres are more short compositions that are only what I could describe as fitting the meme mold, which I honestly don't find listenable.

>most of it sounds like it could be concocted with a DAW.
it can be done in a daw but it would take longer to program realistic sounding beats

there are good software for acoustic drums i like groove agent 4 by steinberg but there are other options like native instruments battery or addictive drums by xln

bump just in case

>>68750403
Not a fan of the music in general. but whatever, there's an audience for just about anything.
As for mixing. it needs some work. It all sounds very claustrophobic. The audio engineer in me says add some ambience to atleast the drums and vocals, but I don't know what you're going for.

I have Live 9
My friend gave me his old Launchpad MK1. I've installed the driver and automap, but when I go to select the inputs, it looks like pic related.

As you can see, under "Input" the Launchpad isn't listed. This shit is fucking irritating. Installing drivers and other garbage just to get a usb controller to work is horse shit.

>>68753539
Did you restart your computer after installing the driver?

>>68750879
Because I don't want to torrent shit, I'm already making music and getting paid for it; I want to make it official and not use pirated sounds.

Thanks for all the feedback, everybody. I listened to the mix in my car and yeah the whistle is too forward. It's actually a chinese (if i remember correctly) flute but when combined with the timbre of the glockenspiel it sounds like whistling. If I added modulation to it it would sound like more realistic whistling. Will look into playing with the rhythm of the perc so it moves better around the melody and feels more like a march.

>>68749262
I work 20hrs/week for minimum wage at the up and coming (about to finish remodeling it) recording studio of my university making background music for, as well as recording and mixing for radio commercials, online courses and other multimedia things. To be honest, I know I'm not as good as many of the anons here but I absolutely love the job. The biggest benefit I'm getting from it, besides the pay I guess, is the experience and being able to put something on my audio-work resume (which isn't what I'm majoring in).

But hell yeah I would sell it if someone offered me reasonable cash; nothing better than getting paid to make music.

Who are the best Hip-Hop producers and why?

>>68754975
Peter Pepper, but you probably never heard of him.

>>68754975

because he's sonic and that means sound lol
