I tried re-mixing some old songs I recorded, do they sound decent?

>>68844814
just recorded or wrote as well? regardless i like these songs anon, v comfy. the guitars might be panned a bit too far either side but it's hard 2 tell without hearing it more closed.

on another note does any1 have any recommendations for a saxophone vst

Just a reminder that if you post a clyp in here and people don't comment on it, it doesn't mean it's bad, it usually just means it's to mainstream or too good and that you probably have a future in music compared to most of the bitter losers on here.

>>68845261

A song I've been working on the past day; the first vers. has a same piano progression over both of the loud portions, but the second one only has it in the latter portion. I like the tune a lot but I can't decide if I should keep it in the second one, and add a less 'conclusive' progression over the first part, mayb on another instrument. i dont rlly have much knowledge of composition i just write what i enjoy listening to so i dont really have too much inclination towards either plan. also thinking of adding some secondary lead over the quiet portion in the centre, but i havent decided on what yet.

>>68845261
Thanks anon, I wrote them too.

god these threads fucking suck

>>68846550
it used to not be dead like this i dont know what happened

>>68846568
i know man, the board is slowly changing, dumb kids come on here and ask the dumbest most elementary questions about FL and theres no real discussion of production ideas

Should I use FLAC or OGG for the source files when I distribute an album digitally?

>>68846746
>>68846746
hmm well my son lets think about this logically, is OGG lossless? mmk then

>>68846864
Well I was reading this article and if you scroll down you see that they actually reccommend OGG, how do you feel about this ?

http://libremusicproduction.com/articles/what-audio-file-format-and-which-should-i-use

>>68846864
>>68846908
My bad maybe they are just saying it is an equal alternative. But still why do they recommend OGG first?

So uh, I mentioned before about recording my upright piano, and here's my plan for how to do it.

Buy two 2020 mics, and two mic stands, XLR cables and mic them, while connecting those two mics to my 2i2. Problem is, do I have to care about the room condition if I'm not planning to record room ambience? The room I'm in is actually my living room which has pretty bad sound proofing obviously.

guess I'll just post my stupid question here

If I have a PA system and a mixer, I can play multiple sources through the system right? Like I can play my laptop and vocals through it?

>>68847013
Yes, those microphones will still pick up a lot of room sound. In general, unless you're close micing something really loud and ONLY close micing that, room sound matters.

However, it depends on what you're planning on doing with said recordings. If you're just gonna share it with your friends or have it be a first release on bandcamp or something, it probably won't matter really.

>>68847509
does your mixer have more than one input (it should)? Then yes!

https://clyp.it/4zareyq2
https://clyp.it/ckxqeh3z

are these rappable

>>68848257
yes they both are, the first one more than the second one. But I find that they are both too loud. unless these are 'final release' levels then you should try to mix at low-ish volume. Gives a better mix because if a mix sounds well at low volume it will also sound good at high volume. Plus less ear fatigue and I find I can be more precise when the volume's not so loud.

The spectrum on the second one has practically no space for the vocals. Good job on both tracks, though. I'd like to hear the first one with some good rhymes over it.

>>68848550
thanks, my IRL rapper friends always say my stuff isn't rappable at all. I guess its too busy

>>68846955
Because OGG is a compressed open source codec like FLAC is a lossless open source codec? And the website has "libre" in the domain?

https://clyp.it/vluzzvsc

>>68848671
forgot to add- this is 100% improvised. I had no planning and just felt like making something. Sorry for WAV.

>>68845599
Thanks Mr. Definitely-not-native-instruments-employee !

>>68845323
Yeah people here talk alot of shit but 95% of the clyps posted are some terrible synth with a basic bitch beat programmed fully from presets

any feedback would help, the switchup (1:48) I've been working on for a week and bridging with the core of the track has become a chore

safe

>>68844814
your vocals are too low, i'd suggest knocking off some frequencies for other instruments around 2k - 4k to open them up a bit

the vocal melodies aren't really offering anything of value ever, although they do pick up in the chorus, the mixing's a little too wide

but otherwise I do like

>>68845727
your melodies are getting better, sounding really nice, piano sound reminds of ravedeath, really good

keep it up

>>68848257
your hats are far too high in the mix, like the sound overall just tone down the hats

in relation to your question, yes as long as you give room in the mix, you have a few synth melody lines which would have to go if a rapper came in on the track

otherwise good

>>68848671
there are some glimpses of some nice melody lines but a lot of meandering to nothing, also some dissonant notes which aren't offering anything

cut up phrases which work and move on, 0:37 to 0:49 is nice

Is there a way to use an app on phone or tablet to sequence an analog synth with midi?

I'm thinking like an alternative to SQ-1 or something like that. I have a mono lancet and i want to sequence it with a step sequencer basically.

I have a recorded sample that I've cropped down in Simpler. I want to export the selected chunk as a sample and keep it in my library.

https://clyp.it/v0rlpqis
Is this fucking music!?!

>>68855228

I like it

>>68854898

I do my cropping in the clip overview in Session View instead of importing the audio into Simpler straight away - using the "Crop" function after setting start and end points places the cropped sample into the project folder.

This is usually enough but some people have mentioned that the crop function still leaves a small portion of audio at either end of the sample, might be on older versions of Ableton as I haven't seen this myself but if you do see that happening there's another step needed - drag the cropped clip into Arrangement View and use the "Consolidate" function - the consolidated clip will then also be placed into the project folder and you can use that in your Simpler instances.

Do my vocals ruin the song? Also, where could I improve my mix?
https://clyp.it/mih1ck3n

>>68854950
the claps are waay to wide, i think you should go mono on them
besides that it sounds nice

Been working on this for 200+ hours (not mastered yet)
https://clyp.it/fa5e0icx
The retarded synth solo at the beginning needs a bit of fixing, but I think the whole mix sounds pretty well

Besides that, two questions:
- Is it okay to start a new track when you're working on an unfinished one, or should you avoid taking the risk of wiping the mindset you had while doing the unfinished one?
- FLS users, is it okay to master a track with Maximus when you're probably not able to master with a regular compressor?
I know how compressors work (basically), I know what they do, but I do have a hard time hearing the difference while turning the knobs, which makes me rely a lot on the visual aids, and there may not always be visual aids. So I was wondering if I wasn't skipping steps somehow.

And thank you for these links, OP!

>>68855362

Champion. Cheers mate

>>68850679
Pretty irritating sounding, to be quite honest, as well as rather generic. It sounds like all midrange frequency.

>>68855665
Btw I said that I find the whole mix sounding pretty well, but it's totally not perfect and I'm aware of that. After 200 hours my ears have gotten used to it so I don't feel like anything... If you have any ideas, please tell me where I should put a bit more of work.

>>68855618
What accent is that?

>>68855665
>Is it okay to start a new track when you're working on an unfinished one, or should you avoid taking the risk of wiping the mindset you had while doing the unfinished one?
depends on you really. if you're getting jammed up on a track you can switch to a another unfinished one and work on that, but you might start getting into the habbit of constantly starting new tracks and never finishing anything. up to you honestly

i made https://clyp.it/cyb4casu as my first song ever. used a nexus preset for the chords. i like very ear rape bass. is it good? sounds LIT desu

>>68853260
You could try running an analog-style sequencer + SilentWay on your computer, and then controlling that sequencer via touchOSC.
I can recommend the sq-1 though, neat device and you can also use it as a cv/gate and midi output from your computer via usb.

have a focusrite solo gen 2, can't set the playback to mono without getting a bunch of static, can only run it to 2 channels instead of 1.

I go playback>focusrite USB>Properties>Advanced>Default Format>Set either to 1 channel 24 or 1 channel 16 and no matter what, I constantly get static. I have to set it to 2 channels or else it won't work.

Anyone know the reason? I really need to get the playback to go on Mono, but I can't do it with the focusrite gen 2 for some reason

Ableton is retarded for instrument recordings.

So if Pro Tools is basically industry standard, how come nobody recs Pro Tools here?

>>68863808

if you want to record real instruments in ableton without it being annoying you need to go to preferences record/warp/launch and disable auto warp and create fades on clip edges

it definetly is,could only use the strings a bit higher/louder for a better intro imo

>>68855618
might just get a bit better with the way you sing it out if its more fluent,and for some reason i thought during the chorus that it was your voice high pitched instead of an original harmony. am sonsten sehr gut gemacht

it's not great sounding, btw. I'm using 4 track cassette which eats away at a lot of the sound quality, and some parts have clipping which I couldn't get rid of for some reason.

Anyway, it's supposed to be for an end part of a song where it just loops over and over again. When the section starts fading/all that's left is the oscilating delay is when the next track is supposed to slowly fade in. Also going to cut it down to like 45 seconds once I figure out which textures I want/the ones I want to cut.

https://clyp.it/lpbrx5uf

If you want, skip to like 1:30 and just listen to the last 30 seconds or so. My computer isn't good enough to risk cutting and pasting once it's recorded to audacity.

after the first few seconds I'm not sure where my attention should be. The vocal bit is annoying and adds nothing.

>>68852397
Change that synth tone and make it quieter, then turn up your drums.

>>68852756
when does something happen

>>68855665
Good mixing but its a bit melodically eh.

>>68855665
why did you low pass the chords so low? sounds weird with no upper harmonics

>>68866199
I have a mixer, it's more of like an amp mixer, noisey preamps. i'm trying to get rid of it. currently, I don't really have a need for more than 2 inputs now, but could see maybe needing at least 4 for drums later. I think I'm going to get a reel to reel recorder, and in that case I'll need some additional outputs (I'm assuming RCA outputs as well). I guess maybe I could just run my two outputs to a mixer and run the RCA from there. idk, thoughts? Kind of at a pivotal point where I don't know what I need to accomplish what I want.

>>68866167
This sounds retro as fuck. I dig most of it, but the piano sounds so abnormal tonally to use.

>>68851750
that's why this is /prod/ and not soundcloud

if you want to be an asshole and not give constructive criticism please leave

>>68866646

Yeah, I don't really care for it either desu. I don't really know what to put there though. Thanks man.

third beat i've ever made, first i've made with Logic after making the switch from Garageband.

I just downloaded a drum kit for the first time from the internet and was wondering if there was a way i could use the musical keyboard to play the sounds instead of having to drag the specific audio file for the note i want to play into the project. Thanks!

A question from a noob like me, how can I mix this better (I use Ableton.)?
Also, what are your thoughts on the snare, I'm not sure if I made the right choice.
I know this is trash, but I want to at least make my first good song mixing wise, but all I got are some shitty Xiamoi earbuds.

Are the AKG K240 any good, those are the ones I see mentioned a lot that are in my poorfag price range.

Also, sorry if this post triggers anybody, I'm kind of new to /prod/.

>>68866811
there's different threads for presenting finished work for criticism.

>>68866811
There's a soundcloud thread.

>>68866879
The progression there isnt so interesting that you can just keep it the same for 30 seconds, even if you change the synth. First it sounded like earthbound but then you added trap beatz and campy samples like its hip hop?

>>68866165
soulection

>>68866167
do you like Jensen Sportag?

>>68866932
Yeah it's hip hop.

I was just inspired by meme rap (Lil Ugly Mane and cloud trap meme rap specifically)

I see what you mean though, I'll make the intro a bit shorter.

Thanks for the feedback.

>>68866962

I've never heard of them. Just previewed a song of there's and I'm mirin though.

>>68866811
>yung

>>68866811
holy fuck, why does everyone use "yung" now? You pretty much know that the artist won't be original and the song will be boring as soon as the succeeding word isn't "gud" or "lean"

Jesus Christ /prod/ is much better than the soundcloud thread.

>>68867287
/prod/ is pretty shit these days

>>68867371

It's sounds likes a bunch of kids trying be popular. It's sad really, if they didn't circumvent actually music theory, theyd probably get a little recognition.

No originality at all in the soundcloud thread.

>>68867422
theres good soundcloud people in the thread but id agree the majority is trash

le trill beats producers need to stop.

>>68867446
>>68867422
You could spend the time making music instead of following hundres of profiles, liking music you don't like and spamming comments just to MAYBE get some fake feedback and followers back.

>>68867422

/mu/ is actually really negative towards /mu/tants making music on this board unless it's really mundane and unadventurous, then they ignore it rather than being hostile. Then again, "real musicians" probably wouldn't consider /mu/ their main promotional outlet or source of inspiration, and if they posted here wouldn't mention that they made music at all.

>>68867484
>>68867516
but where else would you promote yourself?


>inb4 live

>>68866811

Please don't play into that community.

And what the fuck is the shit on your favorites?

This is probably better posted in /g/ or something but what's a decent mid-range headphone? I'm talking 100-200$ area?

I feel like my mixing is going to be sub-par without it.

Hey guyz, what are some of your favorite free distortion/saturation vsts? Thanks in advance

>>68867596
i got some beyerdynamic dt990 250ohm and I'm pretty satisfied. You might want to get a headphone amp, but an interface might put out enough drive them sufficiently.

>>68867535
Send shit to labels, get /prod/ friends or just work
if you are good enough somebody is going to notice.

>>68867687
I have /prod/ friends, its nice, but to promote your stuff is also nice.

Labels are meme

just work? what do you mean

and no, there are a lot of underground artist who are great who aren't "noticed"

>>68867653

Can/should you operate studio monitors or headphone without an interface?

>>68867715

Name one and I'll tell you why


Probably lack of marketing

>>68867813
You're implying, whether you mean to or not, that everyone on a label is good, which is laughable.

>>68867795
You need interface to plug the monitors somewhere, unless you are happy with AUX (?).
Not for headphones.

>>68867843

The only thing that I'm implying is that it doesn't matter if you're the best producer in the world if you can't sell your product and market yourself.

How many producers do you know that have business cards? Do you have business cards? Do you have merch?

>>68867948
Not disagreeing with this. I just don't see the problem with promoting yourself on /mu/ in appropriate threads.

>>68867968
That wasn't original the issue, the issue was promoting yourself as "yung ___" with he trap beats that took an hour of effort hoping to get popular. Soundcloud is filled with McProducers and no one is trying to stand out, just replicate sounds.

>>68868079
Ok

>>68868087
>>68868087

You know I'm just kidding yung killa, Do your thing.

>>68867795
yeah, i mean you can use your headphones in your headphone jack in your computer, but depending upon the impedance level of your headphones, your computer might not drive your them to be very loud, thus entering the headphone amp or interface. so with just headphones, no, you could probably use an amp if you want to save money. if you're wanting both monitors and nicer headphones, then just invest in an audio interface. that way you'll have stereo output and headphone port

Add some rattling hi-hats :^)

I've decided to take up music and producing as a hobby, but the problem is my living situation. I bought everything I need to get started.

There's ALWAYS people are home, and I cant find a way to fucking practice. I'm trying to make beats and rap/sing over them for fun, but I just cant do it around people even ones I know.

Is renting a recording studio my only option?

>>68868977
No, learn how to be comfortable you fucking faggot.

>>68868977
Do you have a car? Record in your car if you're poor. My friend practices singing in his car.

>>68868971

Srs question anon, I've been sat on that beat for weeks because it just never seems finished. Any advice is good advice.

>>68868998

>>68868989
But people outside or in their homes can probably still hear me ;-;

>>68869003
My friend drove to an empty parking lot where no one was around.

>>68868977
Just practise wherever you feel comfortable man.
Anywhere with no sound interference like your fucking garden or somewhere stupid.
Or just stop being a pussy. If you've not got confidence in your own singing, who will ever have confidence in your songs.

How does a drummer learn to play at a certain consistent tempo? Is it just a matter of getting used to how certain speeds sound?

drum for reference

hey guys, just finished a track, it's house but I hope you guys find it interesting. Opinions on the mix?

https://clyp.it/2s0jcshy

>>68870806
It's a matter of practicing forever, getting blisters, yelled at by your drum instructor, almost quitting, and then suddenly realizing you have to FEEL it sometimes and count every time.

>>68870806
Yeah man, you need to feel the beat, feel the tempo, become one with the music, and practice all the time. Become one with the beat.

>>68871377
>you have to FEEL it sometimes and count every time
but that's wrong

>>68871424
>>68871377
so like if a drummer was told to play a 4/4 beat with a tempo of 100 bees per m they would be able to do it without reference?

The only way I would be able to do that is if I think of a song in that tempo and try hopefully to match it.

>>68871482
dude, it comes with practice. How long have you been drumming for?

sent my demos to future classic - 3 yrs in the work...hope they're good/cool enough for them. most of my help has been from /prod/ so chances are slim, but i'm hopeful.

But yeah, if he likes my demos that'd be great but at end of day its Nathan McLays choice. It would be nice though. I think as a producer Im solid enough, and I really want future classic first and foremost. Dont know who to submit to next if FCs a no-go.

>>68872226
good luck dude, I've only been producing for 3 months or so, but I hope one day my stuff is good enough for them. Besides, there are plenty of other Australian artists that are signed to shitty labels, i'm sure they'll have a spot for you.

How can I create that bass line at 1:33? I'm trying to recreate it in sylenth but I'm not sure what is happening with slides. Is that made in the plugin or by automating the pitch? It doesn't work very well for me.

>>68872359
I dont like the vocal sample. Have you heard just a lover by hayden james ? Its actually George Maple, well Jessica (Emohs girlfriend and flume produced her talk talk) pitched. Maybe try to do something like that for vocals. And nah, rather not post a clyp but look out for Lane in future and hopefully all going well at FC.
