What's /prod/ getting for Christmas/Hanukkah/Yule/Kwanzaa/Saturnalia this year? Anything good?

I have a lowpass filter on my snare, I'm trying to get it to sound more lo-fi or raw, but at the moment it's a clicky mess.
https://clyp.it/zmq5kdne
turn down your sound, it's really loud because I use low volume when I produce.

>>69366574
I sometimes enjoy the æsthetic of having the drums get washed-out by the synths/guitars (e.g. M83's 'Teen Angst") but not quite this much. I can barely hear the snare you're talking about. LPF can help with a lo-fi sound but it can also make it harder and harder to mix. I would highly suggest a LPF and then some harmonic saturation (nothing too crazy, it should be almost a subliminal amount). This will muffle it and take the polish off it but also give it some harmonic bite so it holds its own in the mix.

And do blease rebalance your tracks a little ':|

>>69366655
thanks, it's just a skeleton track, I'm going to record with real guitars once my interface comes in. the guitars are really loud because i just threw on distortion and made it an mp3

>>69366761
Sounds good man. Nice and comfy, good mix, lush, etc. I'm not totally hooked just yet, idunno if I even should be, but idunno... needs some extraordinary element. Something bold, but not something overpowering. It needs incense.

Definitely sounds like a complete song.
I like the spacail sounding notes. I like FL studio workflow alot but after trying out some other daws after a I see why its less popular

>>69368782
FL Studio's piano roll is really nice to use but I don't like the arrangement view at all. I feel it's constricting in some ways.

>>69368859
Yeah i dont have anythung besides FL at home. If you are good with the sequencer its pretty handy tool. But i feel like that is the only other advantage over like cubase or logic. Also i can make a pretty good banger in FL in like 5 mins

Stupid question, but for non-live performers, what is the point of pic related? Is it just to arrange samples so that you can play them vs. do them individually by hand in a DAW? People don't play percussion perfectly in time with these, so do they automatically "snap" in time via the DAW? The same thing be achieved with an MIDI keyboard so why buy this?

I guess its cool if you want the MPC like pads and DAW

Anyone experienced with micing a upright piano?

I need to know, where do I place a mic such that the sound is as warm as possible, and there is little to no room sound?

Basically I want to get rid of the 'clanky' sound that an upright has unlike a grand, and I don't want the sound of the room if possible..

>>69375073
no experience with miking a piano, but if you want to dampen the room sound you will ideally need to have some kind of acoustic treatment in your recording space.

If you're stuck you could hang some sheets or curtains to diffuse reflections

Should I put it (scratching noise) further back in the mix? I like how it sounds imo.

>>69375073
To minimize room sound you'd have to either treat the room acoustically, or get the mics closer to the sound source. Problem with option B is you need a little space to capture all the strings more evenly

i just got these monitors a month or so ago and they're rattling when the bass is high on some of my synths/drum machines

I would switch the closed high hat out with a more shorter tighter sounding one. Add some reverb to the snare and a small amount to the hats as well. And I don't know if it's just my headphones but the bass sounds like it's coming mostly from the left. I would try to center it.

Otherwise this is a very good first attempt. It's fun making high hat patterns with trap. Good job friend.

Hello senpaitachi, made something Synthwavy/retro style with FL
Track is almost done (arrangement wise) I'd say, I can't tell if my mixing is any good - well, I can tell that it doesn't really sound professional, but I cannot pinpoint what I could do to improve it.

https://clyp.it/4cjmgjfw

>>69380484
the intro's weaker'n bunny dicks but then it sounds awesome after that. what kinda vibe you going for? for a standalone insturmental i think it needs to develop some more sonic hooks, for a vidya game soundtrack id say it's breddy much done. sounds nice though, 8/10 would listen

>>69380548
sounds cool overall. way too bassy - let the club/rave/block party's sound system add the bass thump. if you add too much it'll sound like garbage everywhere you play it and cause nasty headaches during mastering. little more bite on the rhythmic elements (the wubwubwubwubwubwub needs some resonance or harmonics or something to make it feel more real and rhythmically effective. the "dsssh... dsssh..." snare doesn't vary at all. alternate samples or swtich-up the velocity a little. also more interesting FX - add tiny amounds of reverb to the dead elements and some automated delays would be delicious. the track's begging for that shit.

in terms of the basic mix, play it in the car and you'll know what elements need to be rebalanced pretty quick.

I'm looking to do some lo-fi type basement stuff, what's a decent cheap recorder?

Definetly right on the bass being too much, that gets pretty obvious when I get up from my desk and walk around, due to my rooms acoustics

It's the most sold synthesizer of all time. It can work just fine. I would buy one, but only for a very low price, and mostly just as a toy. The new version has a built in speaker which is brilliant but it's fuck. How you charge that price for decade old sound engine?

Also does anyone have experience with a tascam us 16x08? I'm switching from hw to sw and i need lot of inputs

Been using Bitwig Studio for a minute now. I love how easy it is to automate vst synths.
Is it possible to use it with Ableton, like ReWire does with Reason?

Been wanting that module for a couple of years now. Too bad he stopped making motm format. Built like tanks

>>69385847
Well that is a Mighty Morphin Terrarium! Looks awesome. Do you have a whole modular rig you're adding that to?

Can anyone recommend a good audio interface without background static? My Scarlett 2i2 just has too much fucking noise if I want the volume at normal levels

>>69386648
there shouldnt be static

what kind of cables are you using

>>69386677
I mean it's done this for years. I'm using stock cables; guitar straight to the box, then from the box straight to my PC. There's static when I have a mic in too, and the only way to get rid of it is to turn the gain down, but anything below like 75% gain is inaudible. I've tried everything over the years to get rid of it but I think it's just fucked

>>69386748
i use a steinberg ur22 interface and it is pretty nice and i cant notice any static

How do I get inspiration and energy back? I'm basically dead inside and nothing ever happens in my life. Getting a little drunk sometimes helps but I'd rather not be incoherent all the time. I get home from work and I'm caught between just wanting to sleep and knowing that the more I sleep the quicker I'm back to work. The last decade is a blur.

okay, better version than before, i think the drums are a little better and i added some more layers at the end. thoughts?

that is one of the reasons i went with eurorack, its the most thriving format imo

>>69385993
yep, it will actually complete my rack. that is after i add a rotating clock divider and quad attenuator, but those are cheap in comparison.

I'm gonna trade in my push at guitar center, should I get a korg volca fm or something else?

I still don't have a midi keyboard lol

I'm a loser who's just helping a friend record some easy covers
I'm using Audacity( I know shoot me)
What are any tips for great effects/filters for vocals
I have an MXL 770 microphone and just trying to make the most out of it so far have a pop filter and converted my closet a bit into a recording space to cut out on some of the background noise but vocals are sounding a bit "thin" not as spacious

>>69388694
>I'm using Audacity
download reaper it is a 60 day demo and it just asks you to pay when you launch after that with no limitations so you dont actually have to pay

>>69366761
>https://clyp.it/zduy5khq
wow that sounds great

how did you make it?

>>69388725
Does it come with preset effects?
most of the reason why I haven't switched I doubt this is something I might learn semi professionally on but I figure since I'm going this far
Is Reaper the best? at least for learning and messing with I'm mostly just doing the recording/mixing myself.

>>69388777
not many effects come with reaper so you would have to pirate or download freeware plugins

reaper is not the best daw but it does the job most of the daws you have to pay for or can pirate are better imo

>>69388824
Ah alright I'll download it and try it out and try to teach myself

Not my usual genre, just wanted to try it out.

this is pretty good

imo that out of tune pitch bend on the vocal chop should only happen once. the way it repeats so often makes it sound "derivative"

overall good production and aesthetics, but kinda meh as it stands. I think it needs a unique and unexpected bridge section to take it to a different place. kinda like this does https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5dwMYsUFGM

That guy is neat. I should really get that module.

Are you eventually going to go quad VCOs and envelope generators?

>>69390407
i told myself i'd stick to just one case, but it seems the desire for more modules never stops. I'm currently using the quad pingable LFO in 0-5v mode, so it is acting as an envelope generator for now... but obviously a dedicated eg would be great.

>>69387010
Are you me? Working a full time job killed my creativity.
What helped for me personally was entering remix contests.

Might ask /g/ but what would be better: low tier monitors (thinking of JBL LSR 305s or Yamaha HS5s) or some decent headphones (in the 150-200€ price range)?

I know the monitors are double the price, but any way.

>>69388689
Get a Korg Volca Sample instead, so you can do both drums and melodic stuff at once.

https://clyp.it/4nrl5nkv

the build up doesn't really lead to anywhere, where could i take it?


>>69392571
monitors, headphone mixing is limited

always start mixdowns and mastering with monitors, then down to headphones, then finally phone and tvs

>>69393010
>mixing on monitors that have no bass

>>69393060
go to the tip, i got some JVC bookshelf speakers for £6 that i've had for 5 years and they're fine, use gumtree

just test them before you buy them

Is there actually anything else possible than sampling a song from the 70ties? Currently I'm working on a song in 4/4, I used a measure from a song from the 80ties! Kick, Snare and Hihat are really THAT certain thing a song can't go without, also chords on every 1/4 measure and mostly major keys.

>>69393104
No, thats it. Music is finished.

https://clyp.it/deg3nsyv

hows dis for the start of a track? drums very rough and i havent even looked at mixing and all that shit yet.

does anybody tune their drum samples to the key of the song? do you think it fits better in the mix??

>>69393702
depends

what should i get if im just starting out making music?
to clarify all i have right now is a shitty laptop and an acoustic guitar

>>69393711
just get ableton or whatever daw.

>>69393702
no im way too lazy for that shit.

>>69393678
parts of the same track are pretty jarring like the contrast of the rumbling and piano, they create two different atmospheres

>>69393718
is ableton 9 free version good enough?

>>69393734
yeah i dunno, i was trying to make it a bit jarring to try to add some emotional complexity to the track. guess it didnt work out dat well then heh

>>69393743
never heard of free ableton before. id recommend getting it "free" instead of free.

>>69393702
I have started doing this and I think it adds something. Prince tuned his drum machines and this is why some songs like When Doves Cry don't have basslines.
Some producers like Glitch Mob even EQ stuff based on the frequencies of the key they're in, but I can't be bothered taking it that far.

it couldn't be easier. Add Utility. Set width to 0. Make a preset for that if you're obsessed with monoing things.

Enjoy your dithering, but nobody listens to your tracks anyway so I guess it doesn't really matter.

>>69394388
Isn't "width" in Utility a mid-side matrix though? In other words, 0% width is removing all the "side" channel information and leaving only the "mid" information. Which is mono but everything panned gets either attenuated or completely removed

>>69395968
1:40 is off

>>69396339
what do you mean?

>>69396389
Start the sample on the 1:40 kick and then stretch it a bit, its off it doesn't fit

>>69396510
which sample, vocal? sorry but there's like a million things going on I spent so many hours on this in like 3 days my brain is fried.

>>69396560
The female vocal.

>>69396741
alright I'll look into it in a bit but I think that sounds fine.

How much louder should the vocal track be from the instrumental in order for it sound good?

>>69397023
Depends on the genre and your personal preference brah

105KB, 1300x500px

>>69397023
try to carve out your EQ so the vocal fits into the spectrum with minimal competition. you'll need to maintain intelligibility (bout 2.5k-4k), might want to make room fo sibilince or detail depending on genre (+/-8k), and you'll want to make special room for at least the first and second formants, possibly the fundamental as well, depending on genre.

anyone want me to put a stream and watch me experiment in fl studio?

>>69398343
depends on how good you are

>>69398445
Well I'm not that experienced in making stuff as am to listening but will do quite different stuff and am open to anything

>>69373513
Percussion often sounds better when it's slightly off, because each millisecond difference for each beat kind of complements the others.

You do still need good timing and serious drum practice, but 100% quantized 4/4 drums often sound extremely boring to me. If you quantize and then add MIDI or effect swing/shuffle, that can be okay, but human playing gives the best control.

>>69373513
I use the shit out of my drum pad. I hate when music has a perfect beat that never is off.

So I use my drum pad and it introduces a more natural sound, sounds a lot more exciting that way.
