What do you think of Blonde?
How did they make Nikes?

>>69095169
>bolnde
chill vibe, but over all instrumentation and production is bland

>Nikes
pad with a lot of reverb
sine/square wave bass

How do I get a snare to sound as good as in Nikes?

No Anon this doesn't suck at all, I actually like it quite a lot maybe just maybe making it a little bigger, adding something dynamic.
>>69095813
I used to search them on piratebay and got pretty good VST's from there, but I used kontakt so I don't know .-.

Hello /prod/ I've been working on an indie album for a while now and I've been super anxious about it lately because all I have to do left is to rerecord the demos and mix it but I'm afraid it's not good enough. So do you guys think this is shit and not worth the effort? Any kind of feedback is greatly appreciated. https://clyp.it/vrt2n0l1

>>69096531
I'm sorry if I'm flooding the thread but I wanted to add that this is a really rough take, I think it's the first I took of the song with the microphone on my lap, I wish the finished version to have the vocals more polished

Anyone have experience with the MicroBrute? Good beginner synthesiser?

>>69097753
Yes
Yes

Tfw I'm in a rut and can't produce anything worthwhile
What do /mu/

>>69097809

I'm in the same position. Haven't made anything in almost a year due to depression and other life events.

Just been listening to as broad a range of music as I possibly can, occasionally making sketches for tracks in a DAW and putting some time into other artistic pursuits.

See it as an educational opportunity; broaden your musical horizons without the pressure of feeling like you HAVE to be making stuff.

Eventually you'll get out of the rut and be armed with more ideas than ever.

That's how I'm trying to see it, anyway.

>>69097753
yes, but so are those new korgs

Guys, quick question. Why is it that my mix sounds fine in FL but when I export it, it sounds like complete ass?

I know I'm not great at mixing but I don't want to have to export every time I mix just to see if it's shit or not.

>>69098158
What new Korgs, senpai?

Hey /prod/, I never visit these threads, but I wanted to know: if I have a recording with a sound solely in the left or right channel, is it possible to isolate it from the rest of the recording?

>>69098638
yes you take the channel the track is playing on and put it on mono

>>69098677
>put it on mono

>>69098708

anyone have any suggestions on how i could clean up this mix? especially around the 1:45 mark.

https://clyp.it/zhjrih3v

>>69098677
>>69098815
I think you misconstrued my question. I have have a recording/audio file with a sound panned hard to one ear that I want to take and make a separate recording/audio file out of, is this possible?

>>69098789
Layering and eqing

>>69098789

It lacks energy and sounds lifeless. Did you EQ the fuck out of it?

>>69098588
I think he means the Korg Monologue. I bought a Bass Station 2 for $300, has a lot more features.

Made this https://clyp.it/dzzy2qab/ thoughts?

What's the best use for a mpc midi controller.

>>69098723
Dude, keep your shit in key! I can't dance to this.

>>69098859
Move the panning slider to the side you want then export the track

>>69098859
>>69098914

Only works if there are no sounds also occupying that channel - I think anon meant that the sound they want is in a mixed piece of music where that sound is panned hard to one side, but there will still be other sounds there too. So the question is how to isolate that sound?

Doesn't always work but if all other sounds occupy both channels (sides) you could try inverting the polarity of one side and summing the whole stereo mix to mono - any sounds occupying both channels cancel out to a degree and you might get lucky with what remains, or you might also need some creative filtering to remove other frequencies not related to your wanted sound.

How do I into compression? Google isn't very clear on this desu

>>69099060
Yes, this is closer to what I wanted. Very specifically, I have a jazz track I want to sample a baseline out of, and I realized that it's literally only in the left channel, while the sax and most of the percussion is in the right channel. I'm doing this in Reason and or FL, if it helps to give specific instructions.

https://clyp.it/52z25mff

>>69098882
>https://clyp.it/dzzy2qab

I like this a lot. Did you use the Bass Station 2?

>>69099295
Yeah, here's a list of the stuff I used


FL Studio with Sytrus, FL keys, AudioRealism Bass 2, reFX Neuxs, Novation Bass Station II.
Plugins: Fruity Flangus, Hardcore, Fruity Reeverb

>>69099157

I've seen Melodyne being used to help isolate stuff - what you'd do first then is render the left channel as a mono audio track and process the mono track in Melodyne, in DNA (polyphonic) mode it'll (attempt to) separate the sound according to the played notes it detects - if you're luck your bassline will be easily distinguished from any other sounds in the audio and you can delete the unwanted stuff.

Melodyne has a whole shitload of parameters used for the detection algorithms so you might have to play around with it some to get a result but it's another option if the polarity inversion/mono summing option doesn't work so well.

How stupid would buying one of these be?
It's $50 CDN. I just want to record a crappy little demo with guitar and vocals.

>>69099774
it's better than your phone

>>69099774
It's going to suck hard because there's no preamps with adjustable gain. Your guitar will sound like trash.

Save a little bit more so you don't end up throwing away $50

>>69099774
just get an interface like focusrite 2i2 or any other brand

>>69095691
wow i remember when you posted this. you couldve wrote another track or even 2 by now. instead you're ruminating over this one track and it probably won't get finished anyway since you've lost motivation. sad!

>>69099560
>>69099060
Thanks very much anon, this was very helpful.

>>69095691
This is nice but it's lacking clarity, mainly in the snare. Maybe send the vocals to a super wide reverb, go a bit more crazy with it.

>>69096531
>>69096740
I can't say much until you've actually done all the mixing I'm afraid, the demo sounds... fine, I guess? Not really my type of music. Your voice is off key in some parts though, hope you've worked on that. Also work on your pronunciation more, unless you wanna go for that "indie foreigner" aesthetic.

>>69098723
Yeah that kick sounds terrible. The rest of the drumline is good but jesus get your instruments in key my man.

>>69098831
Try cutting the bass for the last 1-2 bars of that segment (right before it goes to the elevator *ding* sound) and see what it does, maybe bring back the snare in that section too.

>>69098882
Can't say much about this kind of experimental stuff. It's okay.

This is chill, too short tho. I'd bring the drums out a bit more too, don't have them sit so far back.

Anyone else here use Finale Songwriter?

Anyone else here use Soundfonts?

I am thinking of getting into DAWs and maybe buying the 99 dollar version of Ableton (since I am a poorfag) to make my music's sounds better and also to write some ambient stuff.I would love to be able to export Ableton stuff to .sf2s but i don't know if that would even be worth it.

Anyway, here is some ambient music I made for a part in a story, approaching the evil city that is kind of like giant cyberpunk Mordor.

https://clyp.it/kkffboyr

>>69101167
ableton sampler can import and play .sf2 but im not sure how you go about exporting to that

How do you guys go about selling your beats? I was thinking about making an email with a bunch of samples of my music and sending it to potential clients but I don't want to get jacked

anyone got tutorials for making the bass drums and snare really pop?

ableton can use soundfonts with it's sampler

it's pretty good with it too.

as for using finale, ableton can't save your midi files as a midi type 1, so unless you don't mind using a piano roll, or straight midi input to compose you're fucked.

What programs do you guys use? Any good free/cheap one for beginners?

>>69101997
reaper is cheap and you dont have to actually pay for it it will beg you to pay but you can still use it

you would need to download some synths and other plugins because it barely comes with anything

>>69102076
thank you. any recommendations for what synths i should dl?

>>69102103
u-he has some nice freeware synths

it is not really free but if you buy a copy of computer music for like $5 you can download a bunch of CM version plugins and samples and some of them are pretty nice

or you can pirate whatever synths and shit you want

>>69101997
pirate ableton

or pirate FL studio

both are very easy to use.

Shit. Could it import midis? So I could write the music then stick the midi in Ableton and play with the sound of it?

>>69102394
you can import midi.

and in ableton once saved, you can work with the individual midi tracks.


but if you were hoping to then save your midi files in ableton to transfer the midi to another program or something, you can only save as type 0.

which is one big midi file

>>69099774
Garbage. Picked it up to hook a mixer to the computer to record a drum set. I did ot succesfully, but not without a lot of noise. It was a quality mixer i had used in live settings a hundred times with flawless sound. It was just for a demo, and for that ot worked well enough. All kinds of hiss and weird digital artifacts, typical of behringer products(i have a noise reduction pedal thay actually introduced noise with the right settings).

A focusrite solo is like 100 burgers new, im sure you can find them used. I get really good results out of my 2i2. Id go with that one if you can scrounge the money, mines been going solid for like 3 years and im only thinking about upgrading to the same line with more inputs.

are there any decent sample libraries that have all the articulations adjustable by key presses like samplemodeling does?

Do you mean controlled by dynamics? I dont think i can help you out but ill check some i have.

>>69101167
What do you mean by Soundfonts? Like, General MIDI Soundfonts? Or just single-instrument multisamples?
If the latter, does it have to be .sf2 or can it use .sfz? Because I know there are free .sfz editors, while I have never used .sf2 for anything more than adding single sounds

>>69109110
not dynamics, i meant the keys. there are like a handful of keys which you hold/press and it changes the articulation as you play a tune with your right. it's used for stuff like the trombone and trumpet due to valve tricks.

Awesome intro, love the atmosphere you're creating. I'm not really feeling the drop for some reason. I don't think it's because it's weird and atonal, because I've listened to and enjoyed that sort of stuff before. I have some ideas for why that might be, possibly:

1) The beat is only really established at 0:52, a short time before, and then that beat cuts out very quickly. It isn't given enough time to establish the groove of the song.

2) The sample cuts out just before your drop in a super obvious and awkward sounding way.

3) Not enough buildup.

4) Just doesn't hit that hard.

EQ. EQ is the answer.
Learning to use a synth is 40% of getting the sound you want. The other 50% is knowing how to wield an equalizer.

The other 10% is sample selection.

>>69109165
Both, actually. I've been using Viena to stitch them together to create a "full set".

i normally have to put it on every track, but i figured there was a trick to getting all my tracks going into my dry sum buss and just have it take all the inputs going in for the stereo placement. is this not possible?

no complaints here except that the lead synth line could have a more defined pitch, or at least bend in a more defined way. Tweak it.

Composition - is where you need to focus your energy

wheres the fucking ableton tutorials?

>>69095691
what's the sample i like it

>>69114301
Create an audio track and run every track you want to be effected into it. Put the effect on that track

>>69117098
do you mean the chords that start at the beginning, or the lead line that comes in partway through?

the chords are pretty modulated, so i'll turn that down.

and yeah, it's not much of a composition at the moment, just reached a point where I'm not sure if what I have is worth continuing on.

>>69117179

VSS sees a single audio track as a single sound source - anon wants to bus multiple tracks and then place a single instance of VSS on the buss but have the tracks routed to the buss appear in the VSS interface as multiple sound sources.

>>69114301
No way around that with Ableton, and I'm not sure if other DAWs would be any different either - VSS would have to work in a pre-bussing mode to do that and it currently looks like it sees the buss as a single sound source.

Hello, welcome to the zero argument critic bandwagon.

>>69117059
You should try actually separating your instruments, your drums are barely inaudible.

Your melody does not go anywhere, the underlying harmony does not go anywhere and your lead synth is way too dry.

You are welcome.

>>69117887
Random, funny you mentioned that. The song name is ENTROPY.

The concept is chaos unified - while the rhythm and overall form changes erratically, it is unified by a single melodic motive, in a single mode.

As to your submission.

Literally the same thing throughout the entire duration, zero melody (playing the chord notes with a separate synth does not count as melody) .

Either develop a melodic motive and progress somewhere with the track or delete it.

Nice sound design though I will give you that.

Going through the articles here is a great starting point.

You will not understand everything from the get go, but you will get an idea where to move next, looking up all the concepts that you do not quite get.

Most important concepts to start with : leading tones, functional harmony, modulations, tonality vs modality, altered chords.


On a different note, since the folks around here do not quite hold to raw aesthetics, here is a contrasting clyp for you all to take apart.

thanks for your input even though its just something for me to fall asleep to. and now that you mentioned your song title it makes more sense now.

>>69118707
Just intonation always sounds good

the PS-3X00 series is one of few analog synths capable of just intonation. that new korg minilogue is too, but it doesn't seem that useful in a monosynth. Maybe if I had 44 minilogues?

>>69118892
>44 minilogues
nothing wrong with that

>>69118973
Then I'd be spending twice as much as a vintage PS-3100, and it would be a mess to edit. I think the idea of a modern fully polyphonic analog synth with adjustable temperament is simply a pipe dream. Might as well wank it to the next monosynth..

I'm well aware of current trends of boutique digital modules in flimsyrack format.

So because you got so upset that I didn't include a caveat about a few euro modules in the vast sea of garden variety VCOs and VCFs, my point about the stagnation in the synth market isn't valid.

GRP stuff is neat, but it's still in the vein of minimoogs and the like, plus they don't make many of them

i seriously hope this is a samefag, because two people agreeing on such a stupid point would be extremely shameful

i really hate that i decided to waste my time explaining this but w/e

just because a number of uninnovative modules pop up, it does not mean the industry is stagnant

an increasingly higher amount of modules get released over time, that means that, yes, there is a lot of uninspired tech out there, but at the same time more than enough amazing modules are as well

of course the quantity of the lower quality ones will be higher, as, stating the most obvious thing the world here, creating an innovative product is a more difficult task, their number is lower

the straw that broke the camels back in your pointless rambling was implying that self contained synths, the area of synthesis with the least innovation as of late, was somehow a better alternative

Don't waste your money. I record crappy demos with guitar and vocals, and let me tell you, the extra $50 I put in to this ($100 product, in case math isn't your thing) was well worth it. Combo 1/4" and XLR, phantom power, GAIN, Hi-Z controls. Neat little thing.

>>69119677
That's how I knew you didn't read my post. I wasn't complaining about the lack of innovation in eurorack. The original context was that there's no innovation in keyboard synths. When one cool feature like adjustable intonation was given to a new synth, it's on a completely boring monosynth. Nobody implied that they were a better alternative than modular synths, modular synths were simply not a point of the post. I'm sorry you cant get off your eurorack high horse, but that's simply not the point I was trying to make.

Shame on you for putting words in my mouth.

to sum it up for your not so sharp thinking self

the issue here, is that you failed to formulate your original point so it would not be contradictory to this idea you have in your head

"why are modern keyboard synths so boring an uninspired nowadays? i dont really care enough to explore modular synthesis, so dont tell me to consider them to find the originality i want"

all you had to say

even then that is a very daft thing to talk about, considering back then they were discovering a whole new area of sound, while all todays synths build on that very legacy, making them look less "original"

The flimsyrack joke was just a jab at the typical poor construction and board mounted (as opposed to panel mounted) jacks. If you're that thin skinned about an object, you probably can't handle discussion here anyways. What's ironic about it is that you're the one throwing around personal insults as if it somehow makes you superior. Same with the putting of words in others' mouths.

If you must know, I do have a modest euro system, but they can only do so much, and quite typically only monophonically.

Since you seem to be unable to have a civil discourse, without having a superiority complex, you should probably check out bleep, they'd welcome your attitude much more.

Sorry brah. Nice but it feels like there's something missing after the sweeps, it doesn't have enough emotion imo. Maybe add another high/high-mid frequency synth that adds a little more ambiance to the whole thing and makes it wider. I'd also try either completely removing or swapping out that arpeggiated bass during the chorus segments to something non-arpeggiated.
The mix itself is good though.

I worked a bit more on my mix, the bridge is just a stupid placeholder because I don't have any ideas atm.

there is simply no reason to take jabs at something unless it serves a purpose in driving your idea forward - i could not care less about the actual act of it

See, if I happen to point out that you don't want to have a normal discussion, you freak out on me and attack my character. It's cool if you want to be chanology era /b/ edgy, but most of us here will see through that.

I already pointed out I'm quite familiar with eurorack, and what capabilities they have. If you think they're the end all be all solution, that's good for you, but the form factor doesn't allow much in the way of polyphony and duplication. I already made a point about Just Intonation, but I assume you glossed over that intentionally to call me an idiot again.

I was able to have a normal discussion with somebody who proposed other synth alternatives, instead of having a spergout about how I didn't include something.

You don't want to provide a solution, you just want to have a petty squabble. I tried reasoning with you, but you just want to belittle anyone that doesn't agree with your narrow vision. I'm not so thin skinned that I can't handle a few petty insults, just trying to give you a few tips on posting in ways that don't make you look bad to eveyone watching.

so much for opposing putting words into other peoples mouths, ha?

Kind of odd how the tracks begins so abruptly.

>>69121276
Oh, it starts like that because it's from the middle of the track. The intro is like a minute and a half, I just wanted feedback on the meat of the song.

More intelligible as in rerecord the vocals, or just play with the plugins. Is it workable, do you think?

>>69121343
It's definitely workable, you shouldn't need to rerecord them if the FX are in the box, just play with the wet/dry mix a little. I don't need to hear the words, but most people like to.

Did you record vocals dry, or was there some FX box you used before the computer?

>NOT AN ARGUMENT XD

Ironic shitposting was never cool, did you not get the memo, son?

>>69121637
are you specifically looking for one that has a TRRS input?

>>69121567
I'd say, yeah. As long as I can understand exactly what it is, I'd say it's correct. Are we talking like
X3653X and X3656X because bingo, you've got real chords.

>>69121567
Yes, depending on functionality. If you use them as a suspended chord that resolves to an augmented fifth, then those are correct. If they move away without resolving to that aug fifth, then it's a different chord.

>>69121715
I'm not a tabs guy but if say i take B

Stack its perfect 4th(2 tones and a semi tone) and stack it's augmented fifth which is 1 tone and a semi tone appart so we would end up having:
>B E G

Is it accepted in theory?

>>69121567
accepted by who, the international music council?

I'm aware that it's not actually the correct measurement, but in industry terms, they are. You'll have to blame somebody that isn't me.

Is this too stereotypical and cringey

We don't need you to feel stupid, we all regard you as such anyways.

Have fun with the "everybody is an idiot but me" schtick though.

Has anyone of you set up an online production showcase with your works yet?

feedback..?

You NEED to clean up your low end. Once you do I think this will bang

>>69122181
thats a pretty nice passive aggressive way to capitulate after avoiding my previous post where i put the nail in the coffin of your poor argument

>We, we

great touch

Does anyone want to talk songwriting?

>>69122570
Do you have a certain system/pattern you usually go to, or do you write songs as they come to you?

>>69122568
>nail in the coffin
are you always this delusional, or is this a special occasion?

>>69105421
bump for help on this

>>69122646
could you be any more devoid of counterarguments?

>>69122788
You might want to ask yourself that.

>>69122620
I kind of like changing it up. To me, the process of writing a song is just as important as the song itself for artistic expression.

If I sit down and go through a checklist in order to make a song, I find I can't make anything inspired.
I generally have an idea of a certain instrument, be it drums, synth, guitar, whatever, and kind of let the song tell me what it wants to do from there.

I hope that wasn't too rambling. Basically, I don't like going through a formula, I like it natural. Probably doesn't make the best music, and definitely nothing in the world of pop, but that's not really what I want to create, so I don't mind.

What about you, any specific method you use?

>>69122788
r u a sociopath or just autistic?

>>69122803
ill pass up on that offer mate

>>69122831
if either of those means providing logical arguments instead of verbal noise, then sure

How do you guys choose drum samples for your songs? Do you just have a few kits you use on every song or do you use different drums on every song?

I keep using different kits, but it makes it sound like every song I create is made by a different artist. It isn't cohesive, I guess is what I'm saying.

>>69122808
No I totally understand, I'm very much the same way. I usually play around with my virtual instruments and when I stumble across some preset that has potential, I usually instantly have ideas regarding bassline, drums etc.
For this for example >>69120240 I was just playing around in my synth and came across this nice sounding preset, the rest of the song is super simple but it's exactly what I wanted it to be and is pretty much exactly what I imagined the first time I played a few chords on the synth.

>>69122888
best way is to pick each one for the song and layer if you have to

>>69121909
boring, terribly mixed

>>69122227
...

guys can I please have feedback on this?

https://clyp.it/m2rruzey

>>69123027
Fuck no.

>>69122882
you really need to reconsider how logical your arguments are and how artistic your music is, because it's nowhere near as much as you think

>>69122888
>sound like every song I create is made by a different artist
i think its better this way than all your tracks end up sounding the same

>>69123027
>calls somebody's music terribly mixed
>posts sausage shaped track

>>69122992
>the bridge is just a stupid placeholder because I don't have any ideas atm
If I had a nickel.
I can see how that preset can evoke your imagination, really cool sound.

A suggestion I have for that track is changing the snare somehow. It doesn't seem to fit the piece, it's a little too swag, ja feel? I have a personal vendetta against short popping snares like that though, so feel free to ignore me.

>>69123147
I think the whole point of that anon is to berate people for the exact things he's guilty of. He probably doesn't actually think like this in real life or else he would probably destroy any social connection he can get with people.

>>69116882

>I too, used to be a beginner.
Good god man, learn how to mix.

>>69123169
I like it a lot on the contrary, guess it's a personal taste of mine. I wanted something really clean and poppy sounding like that.
But yeah bridges are my kryptonite. I gotta look into music theory but I'm just too lazy...

my music is so good that only thing you can comment on is the shape of the track.

HAHAHAH

This thread is a joke, proper, musically sound, semi-generic songs get shit on, whilst a random assortment of sounds and 4 bar loops get praise 4 being so avant-garde

>>69123312
its ok man youll get used to getting shit on by autists

>>69123312
Good way to get your music listened to, f a m

>>69123312
I said fuck no because your advice is useless and topped it off by being a prick, yet you want advice on your own track. Was it really just a setup for this autistic post?

>>69123303

No, I'm another dude, I just knew what this was called because I heard it get tossed around with Trump during the year and a half of garbage. I just wanted to make sure that Butthurt O'Malley knew what was up.

>>69123312
I simply made a point that you criticize somebody's mix and in the same post, link to something mixed even worse.

If you can't handle criticism, why even post?

>>69118625
I fucking love classical pieces played on analogue synths.

>>69123443
>mixing is bad
Too much compression. No dynamic range. The 90s are over, stop continuing the loudness war.

>>69123443
>>69123360
I didn't say it was, just the rest of your carrrying on and arguing.
You don't need to defend yourself all the time, just relax and take the criticism here with a grain of salt.

>>69123027
Listening on my phone so i cant really provide any technical advice/critique but i can say that im kinda feeling it. I like the synth except for at the end. You should remove the silence mid track maybe put a gated pad that starts very delicate and quite and swells a bit before the music comes back in. Also the woodblock hit where a snare would typically go should be varied, not using that hit every time maybe replace it with a hollowish reverbed snare from a drum machine you enjoy.

>>69123480
Some people feed on arguing anon. This is 4chan after all.

>>69123455

Same guy that posted that. It's the mix senpai

>>69123535
I expect this on /b/, but not in a thread like this. Maybe I expect too much of people.

>>69123476
Considering i'm someone who makes a living producing and performing, compression is an essential part of producing a competively commerical song.

>>69123590
go on any board and you will see the same shit really

>>69123027
nice i think the rim shots kind of annoying and the early snare hits are a little bit too early imo but nice sound design and good mixing
