I forgot what that problem is called where your bass loses energy as you play different notes with it, but that's the problem I got right now and can't remember how to fix it

I've done that thing you're supposed to do where you walk around your room listening to it on your monitors to check if certain bass notes aren't as loud or weighted as others and I think I can still hear it, but at this point I might be just going mad

I've added some notches to certain harmonics and the fundamentals to make sure they're all reaching the same volume (see pic related) but I just dunno any more 2bh

here's the bass on it's own, can anyone with a set of ears tell me if there's still work to be done, and if so, what do?
>https://clyp.it/maggqg0a

>>71433822
Use a dynamic EQ like the brainworx dyneq. That way when a certain note/fundamental gets too loud it will be attenuated, but when it's not loud it won't be affected by any eq

Also listening in headphones will rule out whether or not it's a room acoustics related problem

>>71433822
step 1: take the reverb off and never put reverb on a bass again
step 2: stop being so meticulous. The phenomenon you're describing is dynamics - the actual varying levels within a sound itself. Dynamics are good. Unless you want your mixes to sound flat, I would only worry about it if it's clipping, or drastically disproportionate to the other notes.
step 3: try new monitoring. Other cans, buds, speakers, you name it. It's almost definitely because your monitoring has it's own peaks and dips built in to the hardware.

>take the reverb off and never put reverb on a bass again
To elaborate on what this guy said, it's because bass frequencies are omnidirectional. Stereo imaging affects like panning or reverb don't do much good with them, because we can't really perceive that much of a change in the positioning of bass frequencies. So all reverb tends to do is muddy up the bass of the mix. This isn't a hard and fast rule, but one thing you can try is to put a lowcut on the reverb send so that only the high end information from the bass has reverb on it and not the low end

>>71434095
>but one thing you can try is to put a lowcut on the reverb send so that only the high end information from the bass has reverb on it and not the low end
that is, if you really feel like you want a reverb effect on your bass, I mean. Otherwise just leave it off

Also bass is the strongest in the "phantom center" between the speakers, and putting reverb on it or panning it can cause it to lose some of that power, by bringing it out of phantom center.

>>71434077
I really like how you used a single foley sample throughout the entirety of a track to mask the fact that there's pretty much nothing going on in your mix.

>>71433922
>>71433995
>>71434095
Thanks for the quick replies
All the pdfs and such I've read on engineering have told me there's nothing wrong with a bit of reverb on a bass as long as it's super lowcut, which it was, plus the width was reduced to 0%
But fair enough, if it's that noticeable/bad I'll take it out or just redo the bass altogether at this point.

>>71434119
The bass is completely mono and center image, even with the reverb on it

I got a track wich is basically an extension of another track.

I've got 50 seconds intro of the original track, then my own little intro and the full song.

How do you guys call that, a remix? a bootleg?

There must be another word for that.

>>71434141
why does everyone around here think mixes have to have a ton of shit going on in them?

all the music i listen to and draw inspiration from isn't packed with little sound fx and shit

i listen to jazz and soul

>>71433822
You could EQ the note that sounds the best, and sample that, load it up in the sampler and map to keyboard, as an alternative to playing the synth 'live' with midi.

>>71434307
>all the music i listen to and draw inspiration from isn't packed with little sound fx and shit
>i listen to jazz and soul
holy hell... Live instrumentation is constantly being recorded differently in different places with varying refraction times, room tones, amps and cabinets. Even a solo instrument can sound refreshing and full, because to the trained ear, it always sounds new. You can't compare a track like yours to jazz and soul, they're just two different worlds.

The solution for musicians like you and me for not having a boring as fuck mix is to give each element unique characteristics and fit them together snugly in cooperation with each other. Right now, you need a LOT more character to your sounds if you want to keep the chords and structure the way it is right now, which is shit.

>>71434537

chill out lmfao

what elements are you referring to that need more characteristics?

im still pretty new to production so i literally have no idea how to tweak my sounds, i've mostly been using presets from elextrax and nexus

>>71435050
I'll bite. Give me any instance in a mix where one should be practically encouraged to put a reverb send specifically on a bass track. Explain what would it be adding to a recording. Only thing I can think of is if you're trying to simulate a band who's bassist was banished to play in another room because the other guys keep telling him to turn down his amp. Reverb creates space, it's not just some willy-nilly thing you can lob on any track expecting to make it sound better.

>>71435378
I'm not trying to stimulate space kek. I put quite a lot of reverb on my 808, as well as a slight chorus. It doesn't matter what you do, as long as it sounds good.

>>71435436
>I'm not trying to simulate space, I'm just arbitrarily using this effect that I know nothing about which just so happens to be engineered to simulate space
Read up on the origin of effect pedals and plugins. First known instances of reverb were some guys recording a speaker playing a track in a cathedral. First instance of chorus was essentially an accident by some guy who didn't want to pay for a choir. These effects have origin and purpose. If you want to just fuck around with them that's great, just keep in mind you're not really aiming for the most intelligent audience.

Certain things you have you to take into consideration when mixing.

1. Your bass should be mono. If your bass has a wide stereofield, you're setting yourself up for massive headaches when playing on different systems in different rooms. As far as I can hear, it sounds pretty mono.

2. Equal loudness contour. You percieve frequencies different in loudness despite them being of equal sound pressure. This is the way our ears are tuned. No way around it but nifty EQ'ing

3. Acoustically treated listening space.
And I suspect this is where your problems lies. Your bass sounds fine on my headphones. It might not on your speakers in your room because your room is not properly set up for playback. Your room bounce soundwaves back and forth in the room that might amplify certain frequencies and dampen others.

If it's not your room it might be your speakers or headphones.

It sounds completely fine and even on my end.

>>71436141
i like to make a basic beat to work off before i do my instruments for me it helps to have something to groove with

I see. Good thing you're self-aware because there is definitely a wrong way to execute that aesthetic. I think it's good so far keep at it.

>>71437070

>>71438398
cool, bit predictable and one dimensional. I wish for some more chord variations and maybe some off beat synth hits would make the song more interesting. Never really gets off the ground though, the last bit just doesnt take off for me.

Mixing sounds all right, maybe put a pad in the background of the down 'verse' part of the song, sounds a bit empty in there.

You can always sparkle it up with a bit percussion. Rolling onto snare hits, break fills.

Thanks for the info, a couple of those points you made I was already thinking of experimenting with. Like I said, I made it today just to get the general "vibe" out.

>>71439792
not quite my cup of tea, you have the technical down, it's your songwriting that's lacking a bit.

When writing songs, it might be a good idea to map your song out first. The structure, what chords you're going to use, the hook. If it works on a piano, it will sound great when you create something out of it like future bass.

Hey thanks, I know songwriting is not my strong point. I started music production from a technical standpoint - spent the first few months just making sounds. Synths, drumkits, vocal samples etc. Now that I have that down and if I think of a sound it's easier to figure out how to make that sound - but I lack musicianship a great deal. Never played an instrument other than bass guitar. I'll work on that. Thanks!

Nope. Your kick needs to be a lot softer, and you need to work on actually developing the frequency spread for your 808. At the moment its drowning everything in gross bass, and not in a good way.

Plus the problems of even if you do find someone you like they prolly have a kid, car payments, lease or mortgage, just shit like that nailing them down to the floor and then saying "Yeah i wanna be in a band I can only practice for 10 minutes every month though is that cool?"

>>71446083
The only things I find on CL are shitty power chord rock bands who cant find a bassist, and I don't have a place to hold tryouts. I just use mics in my bedroom and have a mic'd kit in my living room, its a shit situation

>>71446216
I thought about that but I've watched one man bands and its not very entertaining, regardless of the music quality. It doesn't have the same appeal IMO

>>71446253
The worst I've ever met is a metalhead who tries to make every single goddamn song into a prog song with time sig changes all over the place. I love me some prog but the dude literally would just switch sigs out of nowhere, for a random amount of bars, and it sounded like garbage.

>>71446506
possibly, depending on how the sound from your laptop is. will definitely be better for recording and it's probably got asio drivers that would be better than using asio4all

It won't make your shit sound that much better than your PC sound card but it's an upgrade from them. Its mainly meat for recording. Nice to have on the side for some random shit if you wanna fuck around with it.

>>71450412
I'm not going to use it to record anything, I had it from the guitar/band days but I make bleeps now.

I gave it a try and there was a subtle increase in quality. I'll keep it just cause I forgot how nice it is to physically use a volume knob whilst producing.

https://clyp.it/b3vfjml5

probably wrong place to ask but I am recording and "producing" albeit I don't know shit about anything. This is just a clip and pretty much the dynamics are the same along the track.

Is the guitar too buried and the drums too prominent? I don't want to have drums at the forefront (because they are not real drums, just ezdrummer) I am not sure I am doing compression right for any of the instruments. The background synth should only (in my mind) be a melodic feature so I don't care much about it but I could also be wrong about its function.

>>71450707

Depends on the laptop. You can bet the isolation for the sound card from the power supply is better so there will be a fraction less noise, otherwise you're probably just looking at having RCA outputs.

>>71452312
why? am i not shitting on enough people's joke clyps for you?

>>71449092
Get Izotope Vinyl, its free. If nothing else turn everything off except the warp model and just add a touch, gives a nice old-school sound. Also using bit rate reduction can sound really nice, a lot of old drum machines used 12 bit sound engines so that can sound ok on drum tracks. Saturation also helps a lot, and like the other anon said EQ. As for the "live recorded grit", play with reverb and compression. A slight room reverb on stuff with slightly more aggressive compression can do wonders.

>>71450721
Saturation Knob by Softube. Free, I've used it on every single mix since getting it in one capacity or another. I also highly recommend Izotope Vinyl.

>tfw I used to be pretty much pitch deaf and had no rhythm before I started producing

Sucks being a white boi desu

>>71452894
>I've used it on every single mix since getting it in one capacity or another
same, sounds so fucking good and it's only one knob to control (plus the little 3 way switch at the bottom)

>>71451055
Is there a specific genre you're going for here? The drums are mixed really aggressively as if they're for metal, then you've got some grunge guitar, then some spacey organs floating off to the side. I'd say pick a style you want to mix similar to and go for that.

>>71452897

Is there a SICP equivalent that will tell me what any of this means when I listen to electronic music? Classical is easy because there are rules and jazz is easy because jazz men only have 2 arms each, but as soon as I turn on any piece of synthetic music that isn't a strict 'boots and cats' I get lost.

first day?

>>71453896

Electronic music is less rules but more memes, it's based more around sound design than composition so the things that get copied from successful tracks tend to be the sounds more than the musical phrases.

It's still possible to trace a piece's origins and influences but the practice of doing that involves knowing firstly when older pieces are being referenced (classic synth sounds for example) and secondly whether pieces are using a technique that has recently become commonplace, or that has become an exaggerated version of a traditional technique (sidechaining for example).

In short, learn synths and the time periods they became popular within, who made them popular at that time. Production techniques same as above. The work your way forward to the people these sounds influenced, and the people that went on to be influenced by the first ones and so on.

If in doubt with most mainstream electronic stuff, starting points are commonly John Carpenter, Tangerine Dream, Kraftwerk or Giorgio Moroder.

getting VERY tired of all this hip hop/trap/nigger shit clouding /prod/

>>71453896
does it sound good? if yes, producer did good job. bonus points if it makes you dance. if you want to be autistic about it, i dont know any books but read about methods of synthesis, effects, and as the other guy said common synth presets and samples. personally, the more the track leaves me drawing blanks on all of those things and makes me feel like my brain is being fried and my emotions overloaded, the better.

also if you read that there are rules in classical you read a book thats a few hundred years outdated.

really noob question about recording guitar/bass.

is it better to "clean" record them from my pedal going directly into my pc with a 3.5mm cable to microphone port, or play through an amp and put a usb microphone in front of it?

>>71452281
>>71453070
stop being buttmad, aint nothing wrong with pumping out quick tracks for the hell of it and being proficient in as many genres as possible is actually a great skill, even genres that are irredeemable shit. course i do agree with >>71454371 that although its great to make trap for fun its probably better to jam the shit straight on your soundcloud or whatever and skip the /prod/ step unless you like the idea having a bunch of people who wont like your music listen to it.

>>71454503
do you own a gorillion dollar tube amp and a fancy mic?

do what you want tho depending on what sound youre after and which method better achieves it when you listen to the results, fuck i mic my synths sometimes (i dont actually own a guitar/bass)

but if you are using a shitty cheap usb mic i highly doubt you are going to be getting the sound you want (get a BM800, check out /g/'s chinkshit generals). and when it comes to recordingstuff with effects on it or doing a super lofi recording, remember that you can always add more effects later or playback your shit and record it but you aint taking effects or distortion off later.

>>71454505

really love that dry distorted bass.

If you could share that technique of getting that sound I would appreciate it.

On to the track. It's meandering a bit all over the place. I would work on getting down one groove or riff to build around, right now you have something going on with the bass but it doesnt have the limelight and your chord progressions arent really heading anywhere satisfying.

And maybe add some tape saturation/distortion in a parallel buss on the kick and snare to give them more of that vinyl sampled sound. Or directly onto the kick and snare, whatever rocks your boat.

That's it; thanks man.

drop sounds really dry partly because of that bass which would be inaudible on most systems. If you want to keep that dark character with it I'd say either boost lo-mid harmonics in the sound or do some layering because it's damn quiet.

>>71456411
thanks! it took a lil' bit of experimenting to match the 2nd tempo with the right sound.

Also thanks for the song name :P

>>71456475
i have the bass cut at 200hz before the drop and drop it down to 30hz after. maybe that needs to change o.0 Is the over-all bass just too quiet in general?

Also your song is pretty dope. I <3 your dissonant pads! However, I think you snare is a bit harsh, you might need to filter some off the top and bring down the gain a little.

You'll want as much processing power as you can get. I'd say that's the most important thing. Also, if you plan on using an external audio interface with it, the internal soundcard won't really matter. Solid state hard drives are nice, but not mandatory if you're patient and don't mind waiting on things to load.

I ended up going with a low-end gaming computer in late 2015, and it's been great so far.

That would have been good to mention firsthand. In threads on other boards, posting a link with no context is considered spamming.

My initial thoughts? Everything feels sort of dry, cheap I guess (namely the synths). This is probably because of your mixing, your monitoring system, or the way you bounced it. My guess is I can hear there's lots of stereo width in the hi's which might've been cut off from an mp3 print, and that's why it sounds so sparkly to you and so thin to me.

yeah of course, i take every advice into consideration. /mu/ is a tough community though, I feel most people are too edgy and prude and the type of music I make doesnt fit too well here, so I get generic meme remarks and put downs. It's late here, so I've been making this track in headphones only. I have two pairs: KRK KNS-8400s and Audio Technica MH40's. I have yet to test on my monitors.

Can I hear one of your tracks?

these are more recent

Can't tell if I progressed or regressed. I stopped falling for the beep boop trap meme and gave my sounds and mix more character. wat u think

>>71460596
extremely talented I love the last two especially. How long you been producing and what's your set up?

trap producers aren't real producers.

>>71453991
>>71454064
is this your first day on a board that isn't /b/?

>>71460596
wow dude these are actually amazing

>>71460596
How many followers do you have?

>>71454371
hear that /prod/? we should all decide what music to make based on this guy's tastes

>>71460596
better than 99% of the clyps in this thread

>>71460963
Why don't you try something new? It does get kinda annoying when pretty much all the clyps in this thread are the same thing over and over again.

>>71460596

MHMMMMMM, that made me wet.

>>71460984
i dont make trap, but i also dont whine when other people do

>>71460999
nice digits, but my argument still stands

>>71460596
These are real fucking good man, even for lo-fi shit

>>71460596
soundcloud?

How do I write lyrics that aren't terrible cheesy shit?

got told by other producers that my track was "ABSOLUTE FIRE" and another compared it's complexity and detail to the tracks of a world renowned producer. What do? Apart from brag on /mu/ of course.

What's a good scale to work in for an emotional song? I usually do E major, but people say my music doesn't give them much of a feeling.

>>71461152
First show it. What do you want to do with your music? Make money?

Best DAW for minimal techno production?

it's not that good though

who doesn't want to make money lol? However, I wouldn't be doing it anyway if I didn't enjoy it.

>>71461455
Very good production and ideas. I love the stereo work here too.

It's more than good man, I like this a lot.

>>71461400
Why debian
?

>>71460596
Your remix of calabria is un-fucking-real.

>>71461502
Thanks man, but is it good enough for a label?

>>71461502
I'm not this guy

>>71461798
but dont put all your eggs in one basket, you for sure have what it takes with your skills in production but make sure you have at least 3 label worthy songs ready to go.

>>71461824
Yeah I realize that, I'm obviously going to have to showcase my versatility in production before they invest. Luckily I'm from a country where the music industry seems to be a lot more open to new ideas.

>>71461798
I believe so. I've been on 2 labels already and they were pretty shit albums.

Keep at it and make a good portfolio of songs to send to labels.

>>71458423
I haven't used a proper Daw since getting my Maschine Studio. It seemed to work just fine as a vst in Logic when I tried it but then I focused on learning the Maschine software and haven't really found the need to run a Daw. The workflow of Maschine seems to suit me just fine.

Valhalla vintage verb

Where would a beginner go to learn music production?

People tell me my music is good but the production needs work I have no idea how to go about identifying whats wrong.

Could anyone give a listen and tell me what the issues are?

>>71462699
Almost every song is clipping and the melodies feel very random. All the instruments you have chosen are also very cheap sounding. These tracks have bad pacing too.

I don't know if this is bait but I'd spend a lot more time learning and practicing with your DAW.

Housey tune i've almost finished, tell me what you think.

Lol what that is for? DOS? lol

>>71462893
How big of a problem is it that I cant hear the clipping? Like at all? I think I might have a hearing problem :/

Melodies are somewhat random, I'm learning music theory and composition as I go along so I implement new elements whenever I learn them and then try to make it as cohesive as possible

>>71462671
It doesnt fucking have a Density knob how to take that plugin seriously

>>71462924
Post it on clyp and we will.

https://clyp.it/bijd130s

Tried to produce some latin/bachata inspired, what do you think guys?

I'm trying to get into singing, whats your impressions on this clyp?
https://clyp.it/udb23cyu

>>71463037
You have not spent enough time training your ear if you cant hear clipping. In the second track you can hear a buzzing (mostly in the right ear) when the piano is played, this is very audible clipping, and an example of an extreme case. In most cases its much more subtle, so If you can not hear that I dont know what to tell you. If you really must, use a limiter on your master.

>>71461798
Not for any serious label, no. You have to remember that a label is a business interested in making money, and I dont think that this track is really a money maker. You could make good trap though.

>>71463158

Sorry, there you go.

>>71463248
My first impression was that you were drunk. I would say work on finding your range and sticking to it.

>>71463381
Pretty cool, even if house isn't really my thing. I like the stereo image. I would say maybe work on something to drive the song forward but not being into house for the reason that I think it normally lacks drive, maybe that isn't what it needs.

From a sonic standpoint its quite good.

>>71452950

I want to soften the drums to have them hanging in the background and thick acoustic leads. I guess I should focus on metal-style production but it could cause a lot of clashing with drums. A good example of my aim is Pelican acoustic tracks.

Come on True OP, don't let these cunts bamboozle us

Would it be cool, a vid with some Kiss solos made 12 bar blues?

>>71464045
every part of that sounds gross

>>71464053
How?

>>71464045
Damn it was supposed to post on /gg/, wrong tab. Sorry guys this doesnt belong here

>>71463560
Cheers, appreciate it. Definitely feel like the track needs something else, not sure what though.

>https://clyp.it/l4lznztl
Here's some dnb, again, needs something but i don't know what...

>>71464060
because kiss sucks and 12 bar blues is a boring format

>>71464071
Ace Frehley solos on the 70s albums are cool

>>71464070
Some sort of higher register synth line doing solo-y stuff would add a bit of character. Maybe try introducing it later on, 2:00 onwards. I would also look into some sort of clean reverb for it, make it stand out a bit.

What is the best PC DAW? Reaper? I'm starting to hate Cubase.

>>71463539
Because of the accent or something in the voice?

>>71464219
what's wrong with cubase? reaper is pretty similar to it

>>71464261
Reaper seems to be lighter on the CPU
Has the ability to easily draw the volume (and pitch, speed and other things) in the track spectrum
The downside i see is its much shittier to use midi instruments, Ezdrummer etc

>>71464282
you can totally draw automation in cubase, just check out the different automation modes and tools
the midi editor in reaper is really similar to cubase, except for the score editor

>>71464318
Yeah theres automation but it is in a separate automation track, for track volume and plugins values. You cant adjust the actual audio volume easily like on Reaper or ProTools.
To the audio, you can only do fade in/out and adjust the entire audio volume. You'd have to split each part you want to change volume, much shittier.

>>71464351
for clip gain envelope just draw with the pencil tool right on the waveform just as in protools

>>71464229
Both the accent and the fact that you are often drifting out of key. If you can't hear it (and you should be able to) then you need to start listening to your vocals a lot more carefully after recording, and in context with the instruments you're recording them next to.

>>71433597
Yo none of the first four links in the pastebin work anymore, help a brother out

>>71461231
Keys no longer have inate emotional responses thanks to equal temparament. What you need to think about is if there is a singer, what key does their voice sound best in, and what key do the instruments you're using sound best in/are easiest to play in
