Anybody going to take advantage of the Studio One 3 Professional crossgrade for $200 this month?

I'm on the fence, since reaper works pretty well for me, but Studio One is really cool too.

So I posted this in the last thread, but wasn't told if I was doing this right. Is this a thing, does it sound ok, or is it too boring because it uses a total of three chords.
https://clyp.it/pnpch0ty

>>68903183
I like it, but yeah it sounds pretty repetitive. There shouldn't be a problem with three chords, plenty of music has been considered "good" with only three chords. I'd say your main problem is having the same melody throughout, which kinda makes it boring. If this is just sort of a jumping off point, then I don't think its too bad, but it's definitely not a finished kinda thing if that's what you're asking.

How do I sound like Aphex Twin?

Alright lads, first time on here. How am I doing

sort of a weird almost non music thing im working on but i'd like to know if this style is worth working with
https://vid.me/NA9h

i've figured out how to convert the data in audio files to video, but there's a lot of tailoring of the audio to make the effects noticeable, like filtering out all of the instruments through a low pass filter. the vidme link is a test done with ring a bell bc i have the stems for it, but i'd soon be applying this to my own music

tldr i made a cool thing and want to know if i'm the only person who thinks its cool

I moastly ust them in omni mode so I would be using the KM183s, but yeah that's like $2200 American for a pair. They are sooo good though. I have a long list of mics I would like to have but I'm astounded at how good these C4s sound. I always figured my eventual upgrade would be to a pair of Rode NT55s, but honestly I don't think it's worth it anymore. These babies give the Rodes a run for their money, and at least in regards to on-axis response, the Neumanns too!

Ignore the FL kiddies here. Ableton is a solid DAW and especially Ableton 9 has taken them to the top of the game. However if you can make something good in maschine, go for it.

Girls are the worse person to ever ask for feedback.

For one, girls don't understand sound design, or music in general; they just don't. Secondly they are going to fall into one of two categories:

a) Girls who say anything you make is good in order to gainer favors and complements to fuel the endless circle jerk that is their lives.

b) Girls that say everything you make is bad because they are too insecure with themselves to admit they have no understanding of what they are listening too, and the addition of someone personally around them that is better at them in something would only devalue their own self worth.


Had a GF once that fell into the ladder. Tested by one day making her listen to a song that she was jamming out to a music festival before, only for her to tell me it was shit after I lied and said I made it. Then I had her listen to another piece and told her it was by a popular producer, and she said it was really fucking good, but it was actually one of mine.

Girls ain't nothing but tricks.

>>68906850
Decent track, loving those percussions man

Sounds like it wants to go into a psychadelic vibe.

around 2:05 onwards needs work. The theme for the dropping triangle hits is stale if you use it too many times. Im guessing that was just because you have not figured out how to finish it from there.

https://clyp.it/bltkjt21
looking for tips specifically on the kicks that come in around half way through. feel free to give criticism (as harsh as you can) on anything else, but the kicks are the reason I'm posting today

--------

Was going to give feedback to the posters who had done the same, but it seems nobody did that before posting their own... Don't wanna be a hypocrite so I guess I'll reward their laziness

>>68910363
enjoying this, I think the hi-hat or whatever it is could do with some variation, and it seems like new elements come into it exactly when I guessed they might. I suppose that's what some people would consider a good thing, but personally I think it'd be better if it was a little more unpredictable

>>68910006
again I enjoyed listening to this. really liked when the drums came in halfway through. think you could use some melodic/non-percussive element with higher frequencies

>>68908513
if that really is your first clip ever then congrats, great start. even if you've used a preset for the synth (amazing job if not, but even if you have I think that's fine whilst you get your head around other elements), good job on the filter automation. keep it up, not much constructive criticism I can give as it's a bit short.

Hey /prod/ just thought I'd let you all know that protools have just released a free version called " Pro Tools First". It looks pretty minimal but might be a good start for some beginners in these threads.

>>68912180

hmmm

>>68912239
At least it has mono

>>68912239
Well its free so I guess its like a trial version. Like I said if you are just starting out then I'm sure that will be just fine. You could probably bounce down those 16 tracks to one track and have 15 more tracks to use if its a problem

>>68912380
later on it says you can't bounce tracks

>>68912404
>record audio out
>import audio to new track
theres always a simple work around. Like I've said I'm not recommending this to producers that already have a preferred DAW or need advanced functions, but to beginners as an option. When you start out you probably won't need more than 16 tracks.

>>68912108
>Was going to give feedback to the posters who had done the same, but it seems nobody did that before posting their own...
This is pretty much why I never post feedback here anymore.

Also a first time DAW user. There is a lot that I'm struggling with, but thankfully my girls are well insulated against assailing ladders.

1. As a piano player, anything I do just seems so robotic, I'm sure there are techniques to overcome this, but I always just played on feel, no idea what jazz looks like on a piano roll.

2. What's wrong with FL? What'd I do?

3. Good instruments and VSTs are a pain to find. Surely someone's made an archive or something right? Especially want: http://www.bestservice.de/en/forest_kingdom_ii.html

Anyway, have a listen: https://clyp.it/tmaf5kzh

>>68912727
Musically it's fine, but yeah those sounds are god awful. The sad thing is it's pretty much impossible to get good sounding instruments without paying I've found.

Did you play that in or just edit it into the piano roll?

Piano roll all the way. Don't have a decent mike.

>>68912727
sounds like midi

>>68912902
Okay, then one thing I noticed as a piano player, when I use my digital keyboard to play in music, especially chords, is the various velocities you get that you didn't realise. It sounds like on your track all the velocities are the same.

https://clyp.it/4wcuxwph

What I would say is turn down the the middle notes of the chords a bit, this tends to be how people naturally play chords. With the melody as well, try and vary the velocities to get natural rises and falls. Again notes tend to be louder on the beats, and at the top of melodies

TO demonstrate I just played in a piece of music, then I replicated it but made all the velocities the same. Specifically the chords sound harsher.

>>68907093
I'm working on a fugue:
https://clyp.it/ieijivji

but its more composition than production. There wasn't really any "production" involved, and such is the case with most of the stuff I write these days, so I dont usually post here.

Thanks for the feedback it's much appreciated. (:

What sort of setup do you guys have and how do you rate your tools/equipment in terms of priority?
I'm just getting started with music production so I don't have anything yet but I wanna gauge what most people use on a daily basis.

>DAW
Cubase
10/10 absolutely invaluable. Love this thing to death.

>monitors
None yet, just a shitty pair of Logitech speakers and Sennheiser headphones. They're both shit and I don't trust them. Next thing I'll get are a pair of Rokit 5s, I've had a listen to them and I feel like they're pretty accurate.
Definitely high up on the priority list, guess-mixing sucks ass.

>MIDI controller
Akai MPK Mini mk2
It does its job but in retrospect I should have gotten something with more keys instead of falling for the meme pads and knobs, I basically don't use them at all.
Still incredibly useful, can't imagine going back to clicking in melodies with mouse.

>microphone
A 100$ USB condenser mic that I bought a year ago for youtube. It's not bad but it has some noticeable background noise that I have to filter out with plugins.
I wanna record a lot more but the filtering is so tedious that I end up not using it at all right now. Gonna buy a proper xlr mic soon hopefully.

>audio interface
None yet, but I'll get a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 with the Rokits.

>Instruments
Acoustic guitar + electric guitar
Can't use either right now because I only have the shitty USB condenser mic to record the acoustic and no interface to plug the other one into.

>other stuff
Too poor to afford anything else atm.

I've got plenty of synths, and a guitar. Don't need any more amps either.

Essentially, I'm the kind of guy who has or buys everything he needs, so when people ask me what I want for chrimbus, I never know what to tell people.

Also, most production related things I want are beyond the price range of a reasonable gift.

I broke one of my keyboard stands at a gig in Duluth, so I might ask for one of those Ultimate Support Apex stands.

Okay, I posted a link to a song some days ago but I didn't know that the song was corrupted by the conversion program and that the output was flawed by unbearable noise.

Any suggestions on making the sound better? Compression, EQ, etc.? Pls don't tell me to apply drums on it :D

http://easynicelifetime.com/1.2_Der_Uebertritt.mp3

(Link is not clyp because I've uploaded the song actually for other purposes but last time I've posted it here the file was fucked up and I wondered why someone said "thanks for earrape" and stuff because I didn't check the file after conversion haha)

I got a good deal for the licence only so I didn't have to buy some of their laughable hardware to get the HD version

>monitors
EMES black HR & ADAM sub10mkII, Spendor BC1A BBC, Genelec 1024b I can't set up because my room is too small

>MIDI controller
I recently used my stage piano with a screen clamped to it and a wireless Wacom tablet as a makeshift software instrument workstation and I really like it so far, pic related
I had all the other shit like a full 24 fader MCU set, tried the euphonix artist thingys and the hyped old Tascam us2400 but sold it all cause it helped me nothing but to clutter the desk

>microphone
I got some stuff, I can easily track a chamber orchestra or a big band with my mic drawers
my favorites are the MD421 for dynamics and the U47FET for large condensors

>audio interface
Fireface UFX

>Instruments
I'm a guitarist

>other stuff
mobile recording setup using the UFX and two Octamic XTC (20 preamps)
hueg setup with the Soundcraft Si1+ and two Madiface USB (48 preamps, 2x64 i/o)
I also use the latter for various FOH jobs, especially touring with a band for a year and a half now. it was my first time being able to build a fixed FOH concept for a band around that desk, making sure it's easy enough to use all the plugin inserts I want, managing clicks and backing tracks and still being able to record that shit in multitrack every evening (even with full redundancy for important shows)
being a FOH engineer sucks pretty hard, though. I don't want to do this full time for random bands I don't care about. this is kinda special because I've known them for a long time and also did all the records and stuff

>>68915256

Nice volca sample. I'm considering getting the FM sometime, hopefully there'll be more digital volca's, they seem to have much more replay value than the analog ones.

>>68904796

Korg volcas. Also, those little Sweedish calculator-things are less than 100$, I can't think of who makes em.

>>68915057
Maybe something like a multitrack recorder/portastudio kind of thing. Or a sequencer (korg sq-1, arturia beatstep..)

>>68917404

>>68917364

I've got the computer keyboard in the front because I'm not playing right now, I put the controller in the front when I'm working, it's not even connected to the pc right now lol

Also I've got a condensator microphone in the shelf and some sony headphones (MDR-v150)

>>68915276
Got nothing on mobile right now buy here's my current setup

-focusrite sapphire 6i6
-monkey banana m5 monitors
-tascam 414

Previously used (still owned):
-microbrute
-blofeld kb

>>68917598
Sell me the microbrute for 100$?

I'm guessing you replaced it with the bass station 2. Also lol those monkey banana monitors look wack. Like they took some adam audios and put a weird colorful case around it. How is the sound for the price?

>>68917598

god damn, that's up there with fruity loops and mark of the unicorn in the shitty names department

>>68917681

Can't sell the micro for less than 180€ sorry!

>>68917369

>>68917314
oh. how come? that's not exactly something I want listeners thinking. too loud or what?

>>68917233
hmm, I'll have to look into the tuning of the guitar. I did think it sounds off at one point but couldn't pin point why, now I've listened to it so much I can't tell. maybe I'll just rerecord and see what it sounds like

thanks

So we talked about our bedroom studios, but where my backpack producers at?

I travel a lot, so I mostly get to enjoy my love of music out of a shitty backpack.

My current setup is pretty barebones:
>Tascam DP006 Portastudio
>Shure SM58 Microphone
>Korg Electribe Sampler

I make shitty beats then poorly rap over them about stupid shit. It is fun as fuck.

I am planning to sit down in a bit and do some mixing and mastering courses.

>have 30 minute wav file
>put it in edison (FL wav editor vst)
>save project
>it saves a copy of the wav file
any way to prevent this?

>>68918723

I highly doubt that such a living is fun. Are you a hobo?

Not really production related, but i ask anyway in this thread as i want to buy this drums samples: does anybody know which song this demo track covers: https://www.native-instruments.com/en/products/komplete/drums/?content=1115
It's something so famous but nothing comes to head, fuck

>>68918429
the stereo mixing on the vocals for the first half was completely over the top

I been collecting for years. My whole thing has been to slowly collect stuff, and I just about never sell/part with anything. Everyone I know sells stuff on a fairly regular basis, and then ends-up buying stuff on a fairly regular basis. Anything I don't use I hang onto and in a couple years I'm using it again.

Wait for deals, research thoroughly and know exactly what you need/want, and get it. I hate having stuff that's almost identical in performance, or overlaps something else, because the first thing I bought wasn't 100% right so I had to buy another one. It's happened with mics a couple times where I went cheap and they disappointed me so I had to spend a little more on the exact same kind of mic, when I should have gotten the right one in the first place. My Leslie cost me $50 on CL (pic related), my Hammond was $50 on CL as well.

I still have my first MXL 990 and Nady CM88s from like 15 years ago, and I still use them! Slowly getting a studio together doesn't have to be an exercise in obnoxious gearfaggotry. Just takes time and care is all.

>>68919374

All of my tracks are missing that nice bounce feeling to it. The one that makes you want to bob your head. Also they are missing that real tight glue that professional tracks have. Is this a matter of swing and mixing or what? Any advice would be much appreciated.

>>68919869

fair enough. might have gone a bit mad with auto panning, only just realised it exists. now you mention it I guess it could benefit from slowing down the movement. cheers

Bascially i asked this same question a couple days ago, but i forgot to check up on it because stuff came up.

Is there a cheaper alternative to getting a Korg SQ-1 to sequence my mono lancet. I can't really think of other ways myself.

>>68919965
Cheaper alternative THAN the SQ-1, sorry.

Everyone's music in this thread sounds like "experimental" so it's very hard to judge, since there are no frames of references.

Like, I listen to this stuff >>68919772
and think "Holy fuck, that sounds awfull, but maybe it's supposed to sound awful?"

>>68919965
Thread is still in the archive, pasting my answer again
>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.

Trying to edit a long jam down into a listenable techno track, any opinions on this arrangement? I'm a bit worried it's too boring with that same melody over again but I don't really have anything else..
Still gotta do proper crossfades, volume normalization and shit
https://clyp.it/oakpwfhq

>>68920092
thanks for the response, i'll look up the stuff you mentioned.

Yeah the SQ-1 seems pretty neat. I'm still strongly considering it even though i can find an alternative to my lancet.

>>68920008
>that sounds awfull, but maybe it's supposed to sound awful?
Nah man some people just enjoy that kind of music

>>68921020
wtf...so are you running xp or '95?

>>68918887

Haha okay thanks, I just wanted to know how that stuff sounds on other systems, actually I was just too lazy to master it properly because I was really high (dude weed lmao in this bitch) and just wanted to go to sleep after listening to it a couple of times with lights off at night (x-D).
I noticed that some of the high ranged frequencies are too much and there is too few of low end but I don't really care to be honest, since I can just kick back and listen to some gangsta ass shit *p-funk synth line kicks in" hahaha
Joke I just don't want to frickle around with that stuff anymore and proceed further with making more and better tracks or similar tracks or whatever since I already released this song on my official website (haha this sounds so cool, better than "my wordpress blog" or some stuff like that hahah)


So yeah like,

-Boost low frequencies
-Lower high frequencies

what else?

>>68921152
no it's cuz of the asio4all drivers

>>68921241

Hmm actually the high end is kind of fine.

>>68919440just
yea that's kinda my plan as well just trying to make do with what i have til i get more money

>>68921460
Yep, that's what you do. I mean, I'm using KRKs which have become complete memes since I bought them (back in 2007) but I like them, they still work, and I can't afford new monitors. So I make do with them just fine

>>68921250

should i even bother finishing it

>>68922056
Nice I like the different sections in it they work very well together and it definitely has that sad christmas feel to it. the only criticism i have is the beginning melody sounds kinda dry like it needs either chords under it or more reverb.

>>68920341
ben fischbein

>>68922160
Sounds like it's clipping and the supersaw/pad sounds very muddy, you should highpass it.

>>68922261
it probably is clipping, ive been fucking around in this program for 5 years and still dont know how to mix for shit lol

i'll try to fix that and give the highpass a shot. thanks for listening dude

>>68922327
Just put a limiter on the master and don't have more than 2 db or so of gain reduction.

I like listening to it sometimes

anyway, here's some... breakcore type stuff?
https://clyp.it/i5vk0pap
quick loop I made, hastily done so all of the stuff is on the same channel. should move them to separate channels for more control. but other than that, interesting idea?

>>68922821

Others I will cringe at

>>68922821
Yes, I all my songs are 10/10.

I don't hate it but there are really better things to listen to
I'll keep them for progress documentation purposes, melody study and such

>>68923632
yeah I do this too

made this in about 30 minutes

>>68923753
>https://clyp.it/txhfh5ye
death grips influence is p. heavy in this one
some of the synths could use a bit of compression but for 30 minutes, that's not too bad

also I finished track 8

Anybody here try the System-8 yet?
It's exactly what I was waiting from Roland, 8 voices, a new synth engine, and the ability to run JP-8 and Juno emulations.

I don't know how you came to this conclusion but here is my explanation: I see music as a profession and the only reason why I always wanted to pursue a career at all was getting girls, a wife or whatever which is the most basic and natural thing in the world because in this world you have to do something in order to show females that you're worthy. Even snails procreate in a natural way and they're homosexual, think about it.

Nice projecting, bro :^)

What should I say instead, you pathetic fag? Something gay so you'd assume that it's ironic and in reality i'm hetero? Idiot.

>>68927464

Why should I insult someone with terms that apply to myself? I'm really the wrong person to be accused of such filth.

Anybody have any recommendations for good, reliable studio monitors? I have had some Alesis ones for the past few years and they're sounding good, but I feel like I need another pair of different monitors

Argument that proves you wrong, statement that I'm aware of the fact that you can't be serious and witted answer in case you was serious which counteracts to your suggested pattern of answering.

Thanks. I'm looking at the JBL LSR305 now. They seem to have very good reviews

Hey guys, you have any tips on how to into lyric writing? I'm trying to put together a nice and shitty garage rock-esque tune, but I'm having trouble coming up with "lead vocals." I'm assuming I should figure out the "tune" the vocals should go on before the actual "lyrics" right? Does everything need to rhyme? How much sense do lyrics need to actually make? Any discussion or input would be much appreciated

take any phrase you see someone use online and cut it down to 4-6 words and just repeat that over and over again

wouldnt your time be better spent harassing women or brown people on twitter? or going on a wild goose chase over some made up pedophile ring? or patrolling social media for people stealing lawn signs? or punching people at rallies and then crying about how they made you do it?

I just bought some Meme‑Technicas ATH M30X's for $90 at Meme Center for meme rap production and mixing (can't mix with speakers b/c I'm to embarassed to have my shitty music blaring out loud).

Did I just fuck up?
