The vocal clips aren't "in my face".
Reduce the stereo width and center them

Do you guys have a "newbie guide"? I have no idea were to start, I just want to make some "wub wub".

>>68812881
I don't like the clap/snare panned full left.
If you want a wide clap/snare make a copy of it, pan original full left and copy full right and put them a few milliseconds apart.

>>68815490
Pirate a DAW and look at YouTube tutorials for the basics.
After that go play around with your DAW and whenever you are confused google your problem.
Start off by trying to make something you like.
The beauty about first steps of music creation is that you can be happy about anything you do that sounds good.

You can also always ask for feedback here but these threads can be slow

How do you drop the bass?
It needs to be in a certain height for it to be dropped, right?
I usually put the bass around C9 and automate the volume to 0% before I drop it to a lower registers, but it doesn't sound wubbly enough.
What do.

>>68815490
wobbie wobble is all in the modulation famalam
get fl studio or ableton or another daw
watch tutorials on your daw (sound design, waves and shit)

Probably has been posted on here a million times, but this as a career choice has been interesting for a while to me, and should I really go to school for audio engineering/producing/etc ? I know lots of people really feel ya shouldn't.

>>68820529
Low pass it and widen it abit, add some reverb/delay. Cmon man this is sub basic level shit. If you would've seen the synthesis video you'd know filters work and what they do.

>>68822753
if you do try to make this your career make sure you have something you can fall back on if it doesnt work out
i have no idea if school is worth it or not maybe someone who has gone will answer you too

What are some good MIDI controllers around $100?

>>68812881
the lead/wobble during the drop has very little prescence, and basically the entire mix is stereo, and sounds a bit flimsy

keep your sub and kick mono (unless you'e using some mid/side eq to go about it) and make that wobbly bass a bit louder/ sharper

Dudes, technical inquiry. the number of cents I assigned here is the diamater or radius of the modulation?

File: v7Bg6.jpg (28KB, 600x189px) Image search: [Google]

28KB, 600x189px

>>68824936
if you're adjusting cents of pitch it's the frequency... so if you're thinking about the modulation as a sine wave in radians it effects neither the radius nor the modulation.

>>68824547
>>68823642
the MPK mini 2 is cool but you're sacrificing a lot for compatability. The drum pads are decent, the knobs feel really cheap and the keys don't feel very good at all. I'd get a korg Nanopad and a decent MIDI keyboard.

>>68825044
radius nor the diameter**

>>68824438
Just buy it if you don't want to take the risk. Nothing is safe

Any good torrent sites for plug ins?

>>68825147
I'm be willing to, I'd do it for most other software, just checking if any other anons have done it before and have any general advice.

I also wouldn't mind writing up a guide of sorts for the pasta if I pull together enough collective info about pirating DAWs to avoid repeating questions like these in the future.

You probably shouldn't. If you really REALLY want to, make sure you get a good degree, good experience and get into a good studio. Lots of small shitty studios are closing because people are just going DIY thesedays with the powers of DAWs increasing exponentially

Replika.

>>68827806
oh i thought you were referring to the pitch, which is in cents. the mod wheel value is probably not in cents but who knows. based on what you've posted i can't quite tell. my assumption is the pitch controls the diameter and the lower value (which says "22") is the radius (amplitude) of the modulation.

just listening to it should solve the quandary

I'm thinking of buying a Roland TR-8. I like how you can use it as an analogue device or connect it to MIDI and use it to play samples through.

Ay u guys know stuff. What specifications do i look at on a usb interface to know if I can jam some 8ohm speakers into it? Pls help.

>>68828678
A chorus? Are you saying you do not have three different choruses in different scales in each song?

Why not just skip the intro and outro so we only get the good bit of the song?

>tfw can't tell whether my track is unbalanced or my ears are unbalanced

>>68831426
define unbalanced

if you're referring to the mix of high, mid and low end you can refer to the visualisation on the master EQ and boost attenuated frequencies

>>68831838
Nevermind I had a massive glob of earwax in my ear, cleaned it out now I can hear it fine

>>68830776
that is such a subjective question

for instance come live with me angel by marvin gaye has the best outro of a song i've ever heard while 'the good bit' - which you've defined so ambiguously - doesn't draw me in as much

How do I make a synth "fuzzy"?

>>68832481
not a soundcloud thread

>>68832484
What do you mean by fuzzy? Babbers first basic FM synth would say take a sin, modulate it by a square, lowpass filter off all the annoy high pitch parts and you've got something sounding kinda warm

But I have no idea what synth you're using or anything

>>68832484
put a synth through an amp emulator or a bitcrusher, add a phaser or flanger lightly

>>68832484
I usually redline an analog mixer for that kind of sound.

As for the synth patch itself, saws an octave apart plus some rdetuning, and almost no filtering.

lfo on filter cutoff then modulate the lfo speed. Input to the filter should be something noisy.

>>68836521
That's a sample running into a delay with the feedback up so it self-oscillates and the delay time will change the speed.

I recently torrented a Kontakt library called "Ilio Woodwind and Stringed" because it featured my country's bagpipes (gaida)
However, I'd much prefer to have soundfonts to use in FL Studio rather than fumble around with Kontakt and its' .nki files
I tried using a sandboxed Chicken Systems Translator 2.9 to convert the files. It tells me it's converting, but the files simply aren't there after it's finished.
Other converters simply don't work.

>>68837642
let us know how it goes, I'd like to create soundfonts too but it always seems like a big fucking hassle

>>68837642
check out sfozando from plogue. It's a free vst and I think it lets you import .wav files into it to make soundfonts. I used it a long arse time ago for just that purpose if I remember correctly.

>>68837515
Sure —
Are the vocals sitting in a good spot? Do the effects on the vox sound too much like "plugin garbage"?

The band has two bass players and no regular guitars (one is a regular bass, one is a bass VI) and they play in unison during parts of this song — any suggestions on how to let the toms stand out without neutering the basses? The toms get lost in the mix, but I only used one overhead mic and didn't mic them individually. Am I fucked there? And are the cymbals too bright?

Also on the two basses thing — should I pan them? I've been told that bass should go right up the middle, but since there's two of them and no other instruments besides drums, would panning them make sense? And if I do, should I pan them all the way?

Is the noisy section too much?

Thanks!

Sounded good from what I heard, endless modulation sounds great too.
Anyone here have a waldorf pulse? Is it as good as the blofeld?

>>68838416
theyre both good daws but imageline is a better company than ableton

ableton are jews and only like to focus on push 2 now and neglect the software and after live 10 releases will probably be the same thing with push 3

if youre just starting out, look up trap beat tutorials for some daw you pirate. trap/rap beats are so fucking easy and they'll help you get a feel.

i just wasnt impressed with it really i know you can edit the patches to make them sound different but its just not my kind of thing

why are you upset he said that hes not wrong you know

First thing I notice is your drums sound very roomy, if that's what you want it's not bad but some other mic setup might work better. You could also try tuning the toms themselves, and if you mic them individually you can use a compressor to make them stand out. You can also try to isolate the drums with EQ/multiband compressor.
The part from 1:50 to 2:50 sounds very good IMO.
If your bass players play the same part you can pan them hard left and right, but if one plays more like the lead melody it might sound weird.
Just don't put distortion on the vocals, even when pros do it it sounds stupid.

It says Behringer on it, so it sounds bad.

Thank you. About the distortion/vocals — is there another effect that kinda does the same thing that doesn't sound as stupid? I haven't delved into vocal effects much and I just dicked around until they sounded interesting.

About the room-y drums — I kinda didn't have a choice there, all I had was a Blue Snowball USB mic for an overhead (my MBox only has two xlr ports and those were being used by the snare and kick mics). I lost the Snowball mic when my apartment burned down 3 weeks ago. I actually like a room-y drum sound, so that's ok — but now I gotta get a new one anyway. Is there a condenser mic you'd recommend that'll work well as a drum overhead and also work well with vocals? I was looking at the AKG Perception 220 and the Studio Projects LSM because of this blind comparison --> http://recordinghacks.com/2012/02/19/best-inexpensive-drum-overhead-mic/
I like that the LSM has XLR and USB, but they don't make them anymore (and it was pretty spendy for me anyway), so I might get a used AKG 220 off ebay. Have you ever used a XLR to USB adapter? I hear there's latency. So yeah, any suggestion you have for a cheap awesome condenser mic would be rad.

There's a mic pro anon (aka lemonbro) around here that frequently posts in these threads. I think he's in the process of moving to Australia or something so idk if he'll pass by here but he's usually a semi daily poster.

Knows a shit ton about mics. He's your guy.
