Flum here ama edition Remember to use: >clyp.it for WIP

is this repetitive trash?


https://clyp.it/ugon2tx3

I need a USB audio interface. Needs to have 4 mic inputs (for drums) and 3 instrument inputs (for stereo synth and guitar). I can't spend more than $250.

I might be willing to only get a 2-mic setup but idk if I'll be happy with that. The main thing is I'm tired of switching cables all the time and I'd prefer to just have everything plugged in permanently. I think it would greatly increase productivity if I didn't have to change cables every time I want to record guitar after recording drums.

Does anyone have any suggestions? The Tascam 16x08 seems nice and has good reviews.

gotchu senpai

>>69332723
not too repetitive, but very loud. It sounds as though it was mastered at 0db with little to no headroom. I like the panning and pads in the track. The song sounds very wide, I would suggest lightening up on the bass drum's stereo width. Same goes for other percussion

>>69332908
not much I can say about this.
the looping is well done for audacity ( i know how much of a bitch it can be)

Lemme know what you guys think

I don't think your kick matches the rest of the song, it's a massive thud, whereas the synths and the piano are more laid back

I like everything about this except the drums and the overall loudness. For drums, check out Superior Drummer (or EZdrummer if you want something simpler).

>>69332949
Bretty good! The mixing needs a little work but it has good dynamics. Work on the levels a little bit, that's all I gotta say.

Hey that's pretty good anon i like it

The gestion of the volume around 2:11 is really weird
Particularly for the bass lick

I think the whole second part should be a bit louder, also >>69333151

Thank you guys for the feedback!
I mixed and recorded that in Audacity and some additional work in Reaper. I bought Reaper a few weeks after mixing so I figured why not?

>https://clyp.it/wit5ca1y
Very good mixing, The track isn't too loud and the dynamics are where they should be
amazing use of panning too.

>>69333208
A down pitched vocal sample could be really cool. For example:
>https://soundcloud.com/greafer/dont-just-stand-there-do-something
>at 1:10

>>69333208
Idk

Maybe an acid sounding bass synth, creeping in response to the crescendo pad around 0:07

It's

Much appreciated lads, will try it out, anything I can feedback for you guys?

>>69333206
Much love. Thank you man. I meant the drop in volume to be there haha, I can see why its odd.

>I liked the second part, I think the vocals are little too quiet.

I am really not confident in my voice so its almost a challenge to push through that fear.

>>69333238
>I am really not confident in my voice so its almost a challenge to push through that fear.
Yeah i understand, your voice is okay but not great

I understood that you meant the drop in volume but idk
Maybe make the beginning of the bass lick less loud and add some fx

>>69333228
Not right now i think

I'd appreciate some feedback

Thanks

>>69333247
Secret to that mixing senpai?
I'm confident in my mixing in general, just can't get my head around trap. More of a strange interest in it rather than making it myself, care to share tips brother?

I feel like you could have a bit more processing on the rap vocals, like maybe excentuate some words with pitched down doubling? Also maybe a bit of distortion or bitcrushing? Give it a bit of edge?

how is this?

>>69337501
no sc nigger

How do you get that crazy distorted sound without cutting out other instruments and limiting the fuck out of your track so it doesn't clip.

Do artists embrace the clipping to get that harsh sound?

>>69338184
you're supposed to call me a fag, not a nigger

>>69338284
post an example and I'll tell you however it always involved limiting and gaining the fuck out of the track

>>69338513
lmao that's definitely an ok tip under specific circumstances such as if you want to distort something that's on the really low end but hardly an industry secret xd

>>69338601
It is, they are after me now help

>>69338382
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkOf5RdrGa8

Something like this. That harsh overall mixing that sounds like it's clipping.

>>69338775
there's not a whole lot going on at once. it's fast so it might give you the illusion that a lot is going on but it's all really fast and one comes after the other so they can distort all they want. they're just distorting their drums with a limiter on the master for the loudness.

>>69338916
That would make sense. I guess I'll just mix the way I have been to get that sound.

I have a question for you /prod/ guys,
so I finally caved in and learned what is sidechain compression and how to set it up.
The problem though is that I have mostly seen tips to sidechain kicks and bass cause obviously they hide themselves BUT !
Is it the only worthly utilisation ? and if not how do you know what to side chain with what ? Using frequencies I guess but differents instruments / samples / vocals leads to differents frequencies and I feel like it would take a great amount of time to sidechain every parts of my drums for example with certain instruments / samples / vocals and so on...
TL;DR : is it worth it to do other sidechain compression than the kick and the bass ? (is it even worth it on non continue chord bass, like a live bass ?) do you sidechain other things than the drums ?

https://clyp.it/wvl05m5m

Weird dissonant noisey beat I've started.

>>69339984
Vocals and reverb for example

>>69339984
Sidechain compression is amazing, from the classic ducking effect to sidechaining that guitar when those vocals hit it's amazing both as an effect and as a utility.

>>69340150
>>69340280
Allright, thanks a lot guys, any tips on what to sidechain with that besides kick and bass, vocals and reverb, vocals and guitar ?

>>69340515
Sometimes I'll sidechain the kick and the hat if it's a four on the floor track. Just for the effect though, there's no real technical reason to.

im really in need of a plugin that lets me load multiple samples at once and assign piano roll keys to them. this obviously exists but im too stupid to know what to google for. any suggestions of some plugins i can pick up?
this would primarily be used from drums since theyll all be neat and together on one piano roll track (which i prefer for my workflow)
it would be cool if it had some settings for tweaking individual settings as well.

Already been a month m8. The thing is I'm moving in Jan so if I don't get them I have to cancel the order and then go without them. The country I'm going to is not what distributors consider a "competitive" or "viable" marketplace so they'll end-up costing me triple if I buy them there. Which means I could have just bought the damn Rodes here. FUCK

FUCK

its worth learning if youre super autistic and love programming shit. its a programming environment more than it is a creative environment.
with that being said its really neat / diverse / powerful.

just depends if youre into that shit or not.

hey dudes, trying my hand at creating a DIY synth, super-small form factor, probably gonna fit it in an old tobacco tin. It's going to be a gift for my friend who's into noise/folk-punk production and wants to experiment a bit.

So, I'm probably gonna go with the basic APC squarewave circuit on a breadboard, but what can I add to that while staying within a budget of under ninety dollars?

I know very little about sound synthesis, so this idea might sound dumb and might not even be possible, but I'd like him to be able to trigger synth output with his microphone. So, he could blow into the mic and a corresponding sound would come out of the synth, shit like that. Doesn't have to be accurate or anything.

>>69344885

Look at schmitt trigger circuits - they basically turn a variable-level signal (from a mic for example) into a square wave which (with some amplification) you could use as an on-off trigger for your oscillator.

Also if the circuit you have doesn't have a filter you could maybe look into one of those too.

Been toiling around with this for a few weeks.

https://clyp.it/2dn2zwbk

Been struggling with where to go from there. Thoughts on it so far?

How does this sound so far?
What would you add to this?
https://clyp.it/tyn5omhp

>>69345017
alright, will look into later, but from your description of it (which i'm just barely grasping because i'm new at this), i don't think it's what i want.

i don't want it to just turn the osc on/off, i want it to actually control the sound.

like, in this video, he presents two different oscillators. one uses knobs to control the sound while the other uses CDS cells to control the sound. i'd like to cut those out completely (or keep them as a secondary option) and instead use input from a microphone to control the sound.

i don't think it can be too difficult, right, because a microphone outputs voltage that varies depending on what goes into it, right? so the osc would just need to be able to read that voltage.

this'll be my first time even messing with a breadboard, so while i'd be fine using a guide to create a knob-based one, i have no clue what kind of hardware i'd need to build the one i'd like to build.

>>69345017
>a square wave

I should probably clarify - not exactly a square wave, what it does is it adds hysteresis to the signal, think of it like an electrical version of inertia, so the mic signal will be turned into a more steady trigger signal that has only two states - high (on) or low (off).

It'll allow for more steady operation of the oscillator, but I'd make the schmitt trigger switchable in or out, so you can have the more chaotic triggering from the bare mic sigal too if you want.

>>69345124
The oscillator is voltage-controlled, so the voltage from the mic (the level of the incoming audio, once amplified) could control the pitch of the oscillator.

Triggering the oscillator is an on-off operation however and that would be done with the schmitt trigger.

>>69345183
alright. i really appreciate the info. couple more questions: would it be possible to have two bits controlling the audio? so i could have the knob setup and the audio/mic input as two seperate options?

Does anyone have maximus that they can upload?

>>69345334
I got an erectus maximus i can upload in ya mum >:]

>>69345334
nigga just torrent it

>>69345281

It'll read them yeah, but it won't track pitch without additional circuitry - all it would do in the method I've mentioned is map the level of an incoming sound to the pitch of the oscillator.

And yeah, you'd still be able to have controls on the box itself to change the pitch - all you're doing in either section is adjusting a voltage going to the pitch control of the oscillator. You'd need to make sure you're not going to over-volt the oscillator though so I'd have some trim pots in there for calibration.

Thanks, that's kind of what I'm going for. I've been getting around writers block by trying to make like, anti-music.

It's pretty cool how well that synced up to the matrix scene. I think it's because they went with such a slow burn feel to the action. It more simmers than assaults you, perfect for suspense.

>>69346716
I have a sp-555 going into ableton, I made a loop by gibbering into a mxl 990 with delay and used the d-beam synth and chromatic ps to make the chords. The pounding bass is a live lite instument rack with overdrive and whatnot.

I just bought an audio interface so i've been experimenting with those capabilities. got pic related at guitar center for $144, anyone know if it's particularly bad or good? It sounds good to me but experience is subjective etc etc. I can still return it and get a different one.
If anyone could recommendations I would be grateful

Very nice drone in the back. You'll get better. This has potential.

https://clyp.it/ho0zaprn

I'm not great a producing so here's this track, how do I make it louder and clearer? Like it sounds like how I want when I play it in Logic, why does the sound get shittier when I export it?

Anybody here upgraded from Cubase Elements to Artist and can tell how it is in comparison? So far I'm content with what I got in Elements, the one thing that sucks is that I can't do sidechains.
Are the other things like the additional virtual instruments and effects, key editor, mediabay racks etc worth it?

How can i sequence chords on an analog synth? i always seenstep sequencers but thats it

For the main glitchy synths I've just got a couple of LFOs of the frequency and volume, and then I put a gate on it, so only some of the sound comes through. Gets that really random stuttery sound.

The rest is just a shit tonne of random samples, and synths I've thrown together.

If you're using ableton a really good way to get random glitchy percussion rhythms is to load a shit tonne of samples into a sampler, and then use a chain selector to cycle through the samples quickly as ur playing them.

one tip is making stuff in a way that creates tension "Both ways" - one melody goes up, one contrasting element goes down. really general and simple but if you multiply that way of thinking to within all the different parameters that control the overall sound of your music, interesting stuff happens

You can monetize youtube with adverts. Soundcloud no. You can sell your music on bandcamp but they don't do royalties I don't think.

really you cant do anything wrong when making music other than to make shit you dont enjoy making or dont enjoy listening to.

>If your music isn't interesting perhaps you shouldn't create art
Nah that's BS. I can create interesting music, I'm just really new at the moment so I need to learn more. I'll continue to impove throught my music career and maybe I'll eventually reach a point where I'm truly satisfied with my body of work.

>That said learning other people's songs will get your mind thinking differently

>>69364333
that takes years and years of practice before you start making unique sounding misc.

>>69364333
worry about learning what the fuck you are doing first, youll definitely have no issues creating your own sound once you have the experience.

split the difference, though...

while you are learning set aside some tracks where you just experiment and mess around doing dumb shit.

Make the music you want to hear, but doesn't exist yet.

mmmmmmmmmm
how is that music

>>69365087
meh it's not trash, it's just boring

>>69335532
>Is there some sort of benefit to it
well if it sounds good mono then it sounds good in stereo. you have to consider that not everything that plays music is in stereo

I don't know, but whenever I hear music like this.

Agreed I started making music a few months ago and even I can tell the quality has increased

I want to reduce the latency on a midi instrument I curretnly use via a midi to usb cable.
Will buying an audio interface help get closer to zero latency?
If so, Focusrite 2I4 or Presonus AudioBox 22 VSL? (or any alternative)

>>69365523
Try adjusting the buffer in your daw preferences to a lower number, and see if this gives you an improvement.

>>69365571
I did that in the Asio4all interface, but I'll try in the daw (Reaper) when I get back home, thanks.

>>69365523
a better cpu would help you lower latency because lowering the buffer size draws more cpu ussage

>>69365595
doing it in the daw will work
