I was wondering if the sounds in songs like Anoche are just processed piano. It sounds like it to me, but can't be sure.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1YW94Psk0Jg

Also, how do you think one goes about processing instruments like pianos? Process single notes by themselves and add them together later, or entire chords at once?

>>72024791
It's a synth layered on top of a piano, the weird effect isn't from the piano itself but rather from the synth layer on top.

>>72024791
>>72024842
for the initial sound at least, lateron he fucks with the piano too, lots of pitch modulation.

>>72024842
>>72024856
Really? Sounds like the high notes are some heavily processed piano, whereas the lower ones are just processed to sound a bit dull and wonky

Well, i don't know. I'm not exactly super experienced. What point exactly do you mean when you say "later on" ?

>>72024950
About 0:20. It seems that he's both fuckin around with the piano but I think he also has some synths playing, also it sounds like off by some cents a lot so you get that detuned sounding effect at parts.

Instrumental I've recorded vocals for (haven't edited them yet), I feel like its missing something, like another instrument. Tried strings but not 100% thats the solution, any suggestions?

>>72028026
>https://clyp.it/yhmdtdeo

I think after vocals are over it it will sound good. That's three distinct musical elements. Don't feel the need to pack everything as tightly as you can. Sparsity and Density are just two more values you can modulate in order to create variation within music. When I listen to an album where everything is packed as densely as possible at all times I get fatigued.

>>72028026
>>72028084
Thanks, although I have listened to it with vocals (there's a few edits and mix tweaks I want to do first before I want people to hear it) and it still sounds a little bit bare. I'll try leaving it for a while and see. Thanks

>>72027541
Add a bass for starters, also the vocals just sound off key.

>>72028026
Strings could fit, also I'd add some more background elements, maybe more percussion, some pads?

anyone know a better max for live midi envelope than this one?

http://sonicbloom.net/en/architect-free-max-for-live-envelope-generator/

it's really close to being what i'm looking for, but the actual envelope drawing is kind of shit. you can't delete points unless you delete them all and if you miss the point you're trying to move by even a little bit you'll end up with another point you can't get rid of

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOEh9nmIbGQ

latest rhythm roulette is really good

>>72028495
Why don't you use the envelope in clip view

>>72028706
because you can't trigger it with incoming notes like you can with the max device

>>72028719
trigger the envelope with notes, why not knobs or mod wheel?

>>72028778
why would i want to have to hit the mod wheel/ turn a knob every time i hit a note when i could just link the envelope directly to the incoming notes though?

>>72028808
I don't get what you're doing, what element are you enveloping?

>>72028830
any parameter, it's the same as linking an envelope to a parameter in a synth, except you have the option of doing it to any parameter in any vst

>>72028495
maxMSP envelope plugins are kinda fucking shit because they can't record the automation unless something has changed recently. correct me if im wrong, because id love to record maxMSP automation.

i use midishaper but the problem is if you want to record it needs to go over IAC bus(or midiloopback for windows) which means 8ms of latency that needs to accounted for by nudging the automation lane which is an annoyance. the only other work around is mapping it with midi learn which doesn't let you record it.

neither solution is elegant imo, its shit like this which drives me insane about music production. it could be easily fixed if the DAW makers would implement feedback they get from users.

i cant remember how they communicate between all the channels, some of multiband freq analyzers use some really fucking annoying routing options to get all the "data" from each track whichs makes it super cumbersome to use in reality

there isnt alot of good plugins in that area desu because most good engineers can map that data in their head by ear and EQ from there

its nice to have if you are a visual learner but it can be a crutch where you are just sculpting the them into very different bands when in reality a good engineer will have some overlap

Anyone know a good sound library that isn't slammed full of trance shit like Omnisphere and Nexus? I want some interesting sounds.

How do you organize your song samples? Is it silly to link the DAW to the folder were I keep all my 1tb+ of music?

So far I've had a separate folder with "selected songs" that I find sampleable, but lately I find myself needing things outside of it and this seems like the quickest way to go about it.

>>72032975
I mean you can either drag and drop the songs into your daw or just directly link the folder, it's the same thing in the end really
I'd do the latter because if I open my daw, I wanna stay in it and not break up the workflow

>>72032975
>How do you organize your song samples?
by not stealing music

what's the secret to loudness?
is it just compression, nice synths and a good mic that you know how to eq?
I always work with my sounds mixed low because I rarely like the sound of them when turned up high
it'd be nice to just have a progression that sounds pleasant enough

>>72033526
Depends. I usually lower all the volume on each of my mixers to 0.

First I do compression, then I do EQ.
The secret to loudness you're looking for is both within mixing volume and compression. EQ is for layering the frequencies of your song, where do you want everything to sit basically. Your compression is just saying "You have an instrument that is this loud at these frequencies. How loud do you want these sounds to be". So for example, if I want my kick to cut through a mix higher than an 808, I'm gonna side chain my kick to the 808, and then I'm gonna have a higher compression on my kick, so that way it can cut through the mix and gives my 808 some boost. Compression just brings forth the elements and frequencies of each sound that you want louder.

After I've compressed THEN eq'd where I want my synths, 808s, hi-hats, etc. to sit, I will lower the volume on all of my channels to 0, then I start bringing shit in one thing at a time. So I'll usually start with my harmonic elements, then my melodic, then after that I start with things based on frequencies. So then I'll do my hi-hats, cymbals first, then snares, then kicks, 808s. After I got all of those, the mix is done. Hope this helps.

>>72033526
limiters man, people always trash limiters because "hurr durr muh dynamics" but there are certain times they are far more valuable then compression. this is kind of a crutch that shit tier electronic musicians rely on a little too much but when used right it can really bring punch into a mix

>>72033712
Limiters are really good for shit you want to cut through the mix as well.

>>72033644
The same as what I said up here with side-chaining. If there is an element that you want louder than the others by association, a limiter with side-chaining will do the job.

>>72033362
Yeah true I found dragging it from explorer to be sucky. Only concern with this whole thing is it will make .asd files on my music folder, and it looks kind of nasty, but there seems to be no way to change it so it is what it is.

>>72025322
>whats the point of acoustic treatments gys, it's just a meme

if you want your mixes to sound like shit, then go right ahead.

The point is to limit the amount of reflections in the room so that you get a neutral playback. If not, you might end up with resonance that will boost certain frequencies and dampen others, and not to mention phase problems and you will have mixes that sound off because you dampened and boosted those frequencies in your mix to compensate for a problem you thought was in the mix while it was your room that was the problem.

How's this /prod/? Advice on how to mix bass? I feel like mine isnt sitting well.

https://clyp.it/ad5cocws

>>72036585
You might be over complicating the EQ process.

It sound like you'd EQd too many things to very specific places, and instead of making your frequencies sit well with each other, you've instead created a lot of conflict. Instead of being harsh on your EQ process, I would use compression and side-chaining to help full body your instruments that you want cutting through the mix, as opposed to having very hectic EQ.

>>72022631
THAT'S A DICK

>>72037146
>https://clyp.it/czyvhwms
A bit to much in the 500hz area, mellow that out about 3-5 db with an eq.

Songwise, not my cup of tea, but /bleep/ will probably like it.

>>72022159
2 minutes is kind of too long for nothing to happen. I think that synth sounds a little bit too Nintendo over top of the sort of ethereal sound of the rest of it, its pretty nice though overall I liked the vibe. I wouldn't really actively listen to it because it's a bit low key for my tastes but it was rolling along nicely in the background while I was looking at ladies with penises.

>>72026251
Interesting. Bring up that distorted mid range synth a bit more, I feel like that's the sound that should be driving the mix, don't worry about it clouding the vocals because it's more important IMO.

I'm an aspiring producer with a few beats posted on Traktrain, but I'm not really sure where I should promote myself. Anyone have any advice?

>>72038491
Yeah, so what you're describing in your EQ process is how you should do it. Eq everything out of your lows that isn't a kick or 808, and repeat that process for your hi-hats and cymbals on the high end. That way, higher frequency stuff and lower frequency stuff is already separted for the most part, and then with your synths, snares and medium tones, you're gonna wanna play around with those frequencies a bit more strictly, but honestly just follow that same pattern of where ever the main portion of frequency in each sound seems to be coming from, you want your EQ there, and you want to minimalize how much frequency colliding you actually have. So if you have 4 instruments all in the mid range, try to make it so the instruments all lie with in the same general frequency, or cut the higher and lower ends of those frequencies to make room for the others.

As far as that side chain goes, you should look into using a limiter alongside that side-chain, and you should think about what instrument do you want to showcase in the mix. Usually, it's a kick lower frequency element that has a harder time. So instead of flat out side chaining everything based off one element, side chain from the one root element you want over riding everything that makes that have a difficult time cutting through the mix. That usually ends up being your mid and high ranged stuff your low is trying to cut into. The limiter will make 90% more easy for your instrument of any kind to cut through anything in the mix.

After you've got your side chain and limiter up, that's when I would start compressing. So that way you have your instruments that you want cutting through the mix set up, and then from that point your just increasing loudness of certain elements of your mix, your frequencies are sitting nicely, and it should be beautiful too look at.

Is it time to end the 808 meme? I pray that trap will be the death of it, I can't for the life of me figure out how with every new trend music production manages to stagnate even more.

>Yeah, so what you're describing in your EQ process is how you should do it. Eq everything out of your lows that isn't a kick or 808, and repeat that process for your hi-hats and cymbals on the high end.

You might want to be a bit carefull with that, EQ to much will give some phasing problems and most profesional drum samples have been EQ to a degree that unwanted bottom end isnt an issue. And despite hi hats and cymbals having alot of upper frequency harmonics, they have a fair amount in mid and upper low end that you do want unless you want your cymbals flat and dead.

But if you have to, cut with a slop, not hard cut low frequencies. Something something harmonic content something resonance something.

I tried sidechaining the mids and lows to the high synth and messed around a bunch with EQ following both of your advice. Is this any better?
>personally it sounds less harsh on my headphones

>>72038980
True, I shouldn't say EQ everything out of your lows, but you predominantly want your frequencies sitting in nice little comfort zones. This sometimes equates to get rid of a lot of high frequencies to getting rid of down to a certain hz, to almost none. You just want to be considerate of you do have laid down.

>>72039045
This sounds more better, a lot less harsh on the ears imo.

I like this one. A lot of this company's plugins are pretty nice to mix with, and I almost always used to slap this one on the master of my track (I've since gotten my hands on Ozone). Good for a tiny bit of glue.

High quality thickness.

can anyone give me some feedback on this spooky thing I've been working on for a while

https://clyp.it/h1rgayf1

>>72039846
hahaha the URL says gay

Put a sub in that pad riser sort of sound and heaps of reverb and other shit to make it sound less shit. It's spooky in spirit, just sounds a little amateurish.

>>72039749
Well its only a compressor so I can only really compare it to the compressor module but its nice. Very transparent but makes a track feel very well put together without killing the dynamics. Ozone is an entire package you can master in with EQs, exciters etc so its a bit hard to compare them. Especially considering the different price points.

first off im not shilling my shit.
dont want likes nor followers none if that shit but i will drop a sc libk cuz i forgot to clyp my shit and im on my phone.

so i stood up for about 16 hours on adderall and oxy making this track, listening to it, chain smoking, addingshit to it, tweaking it etc.

i was excited af about it, it felt like a milestone track you know?
bass even sounds decent on shitty phone speakers

but then i upload it and it only gets 4 plays and nothing else

is my track just pure shit? am i delusional?

again, im just looking for feedback, please dont follow me or like any of my shit.

>>72040636
Firstly I'm not going to listen to that because it's not posted to clyp.it. You can give all the reasons in the world why its OK for you but if it's OK for you then it's OK for anyone. Post clyps only or fuck off.

As for your other questions, you could post literally the best track ever made to soundcloud and if you are an anonymous schmuck then only 4 people would listen to it.

The reception your music gets is 90% context. If Zeppelin had never released stairway to heaven and it was uploaded to a soundcloud account with 10 followers today it would never get anywhere. 2 people would give it feedback in a soundcloud thread, one would say its OK but the intro is too long, the other would say >dadrock with a stupid chinese cartoon picture accompanying it, whoever made the song would obsessively tweak the mix and try a different solo and take out a verse and finally give up on music and go back to working at Target til the end of their days.

>>72040867
i understand you not wanting to listen to it because its on sc. i will clyp it tonight when i get home

but the thing is i got like 230 followers and my worst tarcks get at least like 40 plays and 10 likes in 24 hours.

>tfw made 3 completed tracks that I'm extremely satisfied with this week

I could easily just guess what this would sound like before I even clicked it. My guess was it would be the usual dark trap rap stuff. I got the rapping wrong but everything else right.

There's your first clue as to why nobody gives a fuck.

>>72040901
who knows bruh, might be a shit song, might be one that takes a few listens, might be the time of day you uploaded it.

>>72040867
This dude just dropped some serious truth. You have to market yourself and give your music an outlet to be heard. If you just upload shit on soundcloud with 0 marketing or a label/promo backing it then I guarantee you it will never get more than 4 plays.

>>72041415
positive feedback has about the same value as a turd does. The fact you care about it shows in your music. I don't know about you but I want people to actually listen to my music, regularly like I do to the artists I like and dissect/analyze it. What they say to me means nothing. I guarentee you 0 people do that with your music, and certainly not mine, and until I get someone doing that I'm not gonna sit around wondering "yo am I just shit or what senpai?" when I know I can be doing something to make it better.

You answered that question when you started asking it: yes, you are shit.

you're a fuckin idiot man.

how the fuck you gonna know if someone listens to your shit regularly and analyses it if they don't let you know through feedback?

you are a wannabe pseudo-artist philosofing retard

>>72041785
Yea I mean, you, as a fan of likely many artists, never make this fact or their names known to others around you, EVER, DUH! Its impossible to know if any artist actually has people who regularly talk about them without writing reviews directly to the artist themselves, cause nobody EVER, EVER talks about the music or bands they like, and CERTAINLY not regularly on the internet and irl!

Not the person you're arguing with but i probs wouldn't be able to find it lol
Most people in these threads arn't going to be famous and most likely have no intention to, they're just here to improve on their hobby. There's a differene between taking yourself seriously and having delusions of grandeur about 'making it in the bizz'; which is 90% luck.

>>72042338
Of course you won't. That's the point. It doesn't matter what kind of music I make. It doesn't matter if I don't even make any.

>>72042365
From what i've followed, you started shitting on the guy because he was miffed that a new song wasnt getting hits. That bares no relation to wanting to be famous im afraid. On your other point, personally i agree with you; im not too fussed whether people listen to my music, but just cause somebody thinks differently about that, its totally fine.

Hi, anyone help me with an editing questions?

Using Ableton.

I have a part of a song where after a chorus there is a pause. However we recorded it with the drummer keeping time with a stick in the silent part to edit out later. That isn't the issue at hand however.

When I turn the delay pedal off there is annoying clicking noise you can hear when all the other tracks are off at this point before we kick in again. I could easily fix this if there is a way to edit just the last portion of my guitar, add a reverb so it covers that noise. How do I add an effect to about 8 bars of a wav. of my guitar and not the entire track? Is this possible?

Thanks :) google and youtube has provided no help, or maybe I dont know what to search.

>>72042404
i wasnt miffed that its not getting hits man

i was just very excited because in my oppinion its one of the best tracks i've made and the lack of response to it kinda made doubt myself and made me feel delusional so i just wanted some feedback on it to confirm wether or not im delusional.

>>72042569
I'm assuming it's a hardware pedal in which case you're gonna have to have both the unaffected audio and duplicate that on another channel and add the pedal on that, then just cut and arrange between them.

I'm making a project based on Kowloon Walled City, and I'm trying to make some vaguely asian shit.

What can I do to improve this?

https://clyp.it/uk2zfkzd

>>72045067
I commented on it last time you asked for some feedback (adding city background noise, talking about ghost in the shell, akira etc)

speaking of akira, maybe add some reverb and a small amount of delay on the bells in the beginning (or more than you all ready have)
for example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6MlA8vNH74

I still think you need more elements of a actual chinese city, look up things on youtube and listen to sounds distinct to that city (shangai, hong kong, arcades, bars, traffic etc) Just to build the world around the piece. You have a police car siren going on in the end there.

If you're going for a immersive piece, that's probably something you will need more of.

>>72045218
Thank you very much!!!

First step is adding that reverb and delay, the bells do sound quite dry!

I really want to lay down those chinese elements. I gotta look for some good samples!

>>72043055

Theres nothing wrong with your composition/arrangement, It's the selection of sounds/synths/samples that makes it cheesy.

Your synthwork for example is really basic and cheap and dates it back to late 80's, early 90's yamaha keyboard era.

>>72045259
look around on freesounds.org and look up documentaries about chinese cities on youtube, mainly old ones from the 80's early 90s and you will find plenty sounds to sample.

>>72040867
Posting a song only on soundcard is like flushing it down the toilet. It says, 'hey I don't care enough about my track or making music to do anything but slap it online for free, and also I'm not very good at music.'

So I agree marketing is important and context but if you are led zeppelin and made stairway to heaven you wouldn't put your music on soundcloud because you'd care about it too much to throw it into the wind.

>>72040867
>>72045646
packaging and image is important. A well thought out or interesting cover art is important and I just cringe every time I see some 18 year old post something oh so ironic EDM mashup with a ironic cartoon character with a "I Dunno, made in 5 minutes after a bad kebab" title on their soundcloud without the faintest idea of what that does to their image if they ever intended to make anyone take their music seriously at some point.

If you cant take your music seriously, how do you expect anyone else to?

>>72046082
also the DOOD DRUGS XD thing that the guy who posted his soundcloud was doing. telling people he makes "oxycontin trap", giving his shit retarded titles like "benzos turn my spit pink"

I think novelty accounts get more attention because other producers can appreciate the humour and skill of certain things without feeling threatened by the overall package.

The reason soundcloud is completely hopeless for promoting your music is that nearly the entire userbase is other people who make music. So for an artist who already has a following you get a bunch of sycophants sucking up to every stupid thing they do, if you are unknown and make stupid bullshit then people will engage for a laugh and in the hopes of luring you to check out their own music, if you are unknown and actually putting out decent stuff however it is better for other artists to avoid you entirely because you will just make them look less good by comparison and decrease the chances of anyone paying attention to their shitty beats.

Soundcloud is part of going through the motions as a producer these days, but it serves no practical purpose whatsoever if you are looking to seriously further yourself in music.

Is this what people call futurebass? I mean I know there is no bass, but is this the kind of beat you use for that?

Beat sounds fine though.

>>72049405

https://clyp.it/ecuibak5

>>72040901
>>72040636
Nobody on Soundcloud looks on their feed, and their related tracks algorithm is literally the worst in existance. You have to post your tracks in soundcloud threads or social media occasionally. Youtube promotion channels are good too. You should also communicate and make friends/connections on soundcloud. That usually gets me a few reposts. Until the idiots at SC get's their shit together, only promotion will get you anywhere.

Basically, you're retarded if you thought just posting and waiting would net you an views and likes.

>>72050012
also don't forget to make a synth that goes :

Can anyone figure out the time signature of this melody? Thanks

I'm thinking of using renoise as a DAW. Is renoise a general use DAW like cubase and logic or is it more specific Like Ableton?

Why do vocalists get more famous than people who make their tracks? They do more work than vocalists. When you hear a song, you hear the music first but when people hear music, they don't care who did most of the work, they just think of the singer or rapper.

Because people are stupid as fuck.

There's a crude low budget documentary about the prodigy on youtube where they talk to uninteresting people who knew them years ago about the history of the band, they are all giving their two cents on what made it special and how it managed to take off and hit the mainstream.

One lady was talking about what they all brought to the shows, talking about how great the mohawk guy and the negro are because they brought so much energy and shit like that. I forget exactly what she said about Liam but it was really dismissive as though he didn't contribute anything, like 'he done just stood in the background wif his keyboards' type of thing, as if to say that the shows were really great thanks to the other guys in spite of him not contributing anything.

Just noped straight the fuck out, dude probably would've been furious to see that if it weren't for all his piles of money.

>>72053418
When the beat goes twice as fast. So like if you have kick-and-snare-and-kick-and-snare-and then switch to double time it will just be kick-snare-kick-snare-kick-snare.

A lot of those big name DJ's actually have their own sound, some of them do get famous for leeching off of a particular sound of course but you can't predict it, either invent your own shit and set a trend or try to copy others hoping it'll catch on.

>>72046828
>>share on le reddit,
That is absolutely disgusting; you are extremely vain to do such a thing.

>>72055650
I do invent my own shit but it's never going to get popular
>too metal for electro fans
>too electro for metal fans
>too experimental for plebs
>too many catchy melodies and normal music sounds for hipsters
It's all good I just make music that I like, would kind of be nice to have other people tell you that you're a unique and special snowflake for the noises you have arranged though.

>>72055776
If you make your own shit and it's good trust me it's just a matter of getting it out there and getting people to listen to it, you gotta market yoru shit yo

>>72055776
>too metal
>too many catchy melodies
In a way that kind of reminds me of Glassjaw and they are GOAT.

>>72055800
how 2 market on your own

>>72055776
Sounds like you should market to the Skinny Puppy fans

>>72055820
Kinda hard in <current year>
You def wanna make everything look professional and establish some sort of presence/identity on social media but you'll still prolly need some label/promo backing you up.

Thanks dude, I really like how the guitar came out, it's only 2 tracks, since I live in an apartment I couldn't really crank up my amp but it turned out pretty ok

Why does my shit sound so happy? I want to make music dark like my soul.

>>72056313
Are you composing in a minor key and throwing in a lot of dissonance?

>>72056313
>Why does my shit sound so happy?

You're probably writing in major

>>72056313
what is minor keys

>>72056150
Not him but how did you get the guitars to come out like that? it sounds fucking great! Also what amp were you using?

>>72056150
Sounds pretty good m80, maybe put a bit of a low shelf to cut some of the lower frequencies out of the guitar because it sounds a bit muddy. Nice riffs though.

Here was my attempt at a thrash/groove metal song:

>>72056379
I always write in minor keys and also have that problem, my riffs sound kind of uplifting I guess.

The way around it is to not use diatonic minor but use a bunch of semitone intervals and weird scale patterns on a minor base, like the tritone, flat second, major 7th etc. Dissonance and odd intervals are the key to dark and spooky music from a harmonic standpoint.

>>72057116
Basically double tracked panned left and right, I used a Goodsell custom 33 with an ES-339, and the MXR custom badass overdrive set real low.

The magic comes from a red 3 compressor plugin and a tape saturator plugin pushed hard

>>72057135
I already have them shelved around 150 Hz, could be the bass is adding too much low end but I have it shelved around 40Hz. If anything its prolly my lower mids fighting each other

>>72021998
>using the autistic diisgusting non-stop burping attention whore from /pol/ as your thread pic

>>72057135
I would say for this, make the drums hit way harder, tighten up the bolts, but solid direction famalam. Reminds me of early metallica

>>72057244
very cool, I'll make sure to do that. Everything just sounds huge. Also how do you like that mxr pedal? I should have gotten one when i had the chance. Btw space funk and now that you're gone are great tracks man, keep it up

>>72057269
Yeah thats what it sounds like to me, bring that shelf down a little further and maybe slide it up to 200something Hz, or else maybe you want to take those frequencies out of the bass, I dunno.

If you compare to the one I posted mine is nice and clear in the low mids but its muddy in the low-lows because the bass and kick are fighting each other too much, I used a lot of restraint on the guitar tone and got a pretty decent sound out of a low budget recording setup but I wasn't very good at mixing when I did that one so I didn't reign in the bass well enough.

A good reference for this kind of shit is Dime's tone, people call it the most crushing guitar tone in history but listen to how restrained it is in the low end:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Ohf0lZK1UI

>>72057379
I'm thinking about making videos on how I mix things, would any of you guys be interested in something like that?

Big is what I strive for, alot of that comes from creating space in your mixes, like the rhythm tracks are sent to a reverb bus thats very low in the mix as a small room but it adds this nice vibe and space, also on the master bus I add a few plugins like tape saturation and compression etc...

Panning and EQ are your friends, with double tracking you have to be sure it nearly identical in your playing.

>>72057370
Thanks man, it was a bit of a rushed job but I think it came out pretty good considering.

>>72057453
I played around with that earlier but wasn't feeling it, felt a little too boss metal zone tier, I think it's also from using overdrive pedals and not just cranking the amp

>>72057379
also the mxr pedal is pretty solid i got it for like $80 a long time ago, i usually use a tubescreamer but one of the pots is stuck and i havent got around to fixing it, mxr is good enough to get by

>>72048396
Splice is great, I've used it a bunch. Basically every month I wonder why I'm suddenly 10 or so bucks poorer then realize I can go download a bunch of samples. I've gotten a shitload out of an account I forget about for 90% of my time.

>>72057379
Also thanks for checking out the other songs!! I love this stuff man, it gets me through the day.

>>72057563
It's a pretty good mix overall, that was just the one thing I would like to hear differently but it was a big sound at least which is always good.

>>72057507
I'm interested in watching those videos if you make them. So like you said earlier on how you double tracked, It wouldn't sound the same if you made 4 copies of the same guitar track and just panned 2 left and 2 right? Does that make sense. you have to record each individual one right.

>>72055998
So now you just need some cock-rock 80s singer dry humping a mic stand in an american flag and you've actually got the full package.

Production-wise make the snare a touch bigger and maybe bring the bass forward a tiny bit but otherwise really good.

>>72057670
I'm not him but if you do that then you are just boosting the volume of those ones since the waveforms are identical, you aren't adding any extra information. If you have different guitar tracks the waveforms are going to be slightly different on each one so they sort of embiggen each other. Which is a perfectly cromulent word by the way.

>>72057670
Yep you need to record them individually, the very subtle differences in the tracks is what makes it sound so huge. Also when you do this you should consider changing mics/guitar/amp/amp settings

It's about creating space, artificially by just copying tracks can be cool for a solo which is what i did on this track, just set one track very very very very very slightly off, like 1ms delayed, can create a cool sound. Play with it!

>>72057721
Haha YES, and throwing beer and cheeseburgers at the crowd while shooting off fireworks, but agreed snare needs more umph and bass is a little low (old strings) fucking EZ drummer's snares are a shit, i need to get some new samples.

>>72057737
>you aren't adding any new information
I like the way you worded that, it makes perfect sense.
>>72057771
I was just think about that, using different pick-ups or amp settings. Thanks man, your clip really got me motivated to start practicing this tonight.

>>72057838
Yep, so like on this rock one I used the same guitar and amp cause I'm limited up at school, but changed the mic and adjusted amp settings, not too too different but different enough to add flavor, think of it like cooking, you dont wanna just keep adding more garlic powder, you need some other spices in there. But dont put spices together that wouldnt taste good, like sugar with garlic, too different

Hell yeah man keep at it!

>>72057771
If you're willing to drop the dosh on it/find a good crack the Studio Drummer package by NI is really good, has some great sounds and really easy to get loops set up.

>>72055664
I hate reddit but I just want to find some way to get people to listen to it and I'm not sure how else to do so.

Not that it got me very far anyway, got a couple of upvotes and about 4 plays then it got lost among a bunch of youtube links to signed artists. Seems to be the case with everyone posting personal soundcloud links to genre-specific subs, some of the sc links were better than the signed stuff but it gets ignored because it isn't a 'real' artist.
The feedback or listen to my bullshit music subs are an even bigger waste of time than soundcloud threads here.

I think there is just way too much music out there and everyone is looking for the quick and easy ways to promote themselves, you have to get some kind of label even it is just a small netlabel to give you an air of legitimacy or you will never get anywhere.

>>72055811
it's not metal though its electronic, with some guitars but they aren't super prominent apart from a couple places. The melodies come from the 'riffs' which are actually synth lines but you know, they fill that sort of role of a guitar riff in the music.

I'm still refining it, hearing some of carpenter brut's heavier stuff has given me a bit of hope because he is doing the type of thing that I'm aiming for in a lot of ways, although his music is a little more faggy and synthwavey but also more refined and professional than what I have done so far.

It is more "specific" I guess than any of those, it has many of the features of a DAW but it is essentially still a tracker.

If you are making music that doesn't need to record real instruments, and doesn't need Ableton's warping algorithm, it is basically perfect.

For drum and synth programming there is no better system than a tracker, stuff that would take minutes of frustrating clicking and dragging in a traditional DAW takes seconds of typing in Renoise.

It is however very different from normal DAWs so there is a bit of a learning curve if thats what you are used to.
