Today, the dematerialization of instruments and production tools made everything easier for the musicians. You can do without spending a buck what people used to do spending tens of thousands of dollars twenty years ago.
Plugs and DAWs make the possibilities infinite, but most people just come up with the stupidest song entirely based on a 16/32 bars pattern.
Why is everybody so lazy? Why the abundance of Dance Music?

Also wondered about this in a way. Back in the days of (unironic) 4-tracks people would claim the only thing that was holding them back from Pet Sounds or whatever was tracks and the logistics of recording varied instruments.
It didn't happen. If anyone knows any Soundcloud/bedroom symphonic pop I'm all ears though.

>how did you get tinnitus?
No idea. I don't remember not having it, so I guess I was pretty young when it started, but it was gradual and never annoying (even when consciously focussing on it) until a few months ago where it became noticeable and a few weeks ago where it became distracting.
Only recently it started getting serious for some reason.
I've used earbuds constantly for the past few years (and relatively frequently for the past decade), and recently the filter broke so they have a ton of high frequency content which heavily fatigues my ears, so it could be that.

Even though I've always used either both earbuds or just the right one (almost never just the left), and yet my left ear has it 3 times worse than the right, so I don't know.

I'm way too poor to go to a doctor or change my earbuds, so I guess I'll have to reduce their usage to a minimum.
Such a bummer considering music production is the only thing I have in life and my only chance of any life improvement.

Serum presets for this feel?

I'm in the process of soundtracking an imaginary video game.

What are some traits that people look for in video game OSTs? I want to sort of make a vidya soundtrack that's not really a soundtrack to anything. But I'm not sure what goes into this music that makes it feel like it's supposed to soundtrack a game.

Should it be simple? Quiet melodies? I'm going for a atmospheric synthy 8-bit type feeling, a sort of floating in space feeling. What makes a vidya soundtrack a vidya soundtrack?
>>
>>74648705
Hummable melodies that sound nostalgic
>>
>>74648705

Something that's interesting and depthful when you listen to it but not so much that it distracts from the game itself. Something you could easily zone out to and forget it's there. But when you kinda snap out and hear it, it matches the tone and provides a comfortable backdrop.

I'd say what you linked fits this nicely. Maybe drop the bassline in the mix a bit. Reminds me of something off Stardew Valley.

Here's a question for guitarists: I've been playing for about five months. I've got a Squire Strat and this really old, worn out amp that gives my guitar this really cool crunchy, distorted sound if you tweak it just the right way. As fun as that is, I want to explore the different sounds that can be made with effect pedals. I'm particularly interested in delay and reverb effects. Can anyone offer some recommendations? My price range is... flexible.

Sit down together at the compy. Download a drum machine VST. Program a simple rhythm into it, then play along with a guitar or piano. Let her sing whatever comes out. If you feel good about what you're coming up with, write it down and/or record as much as possible.

Try new things every day. Not just in your music, but specifically in the DAW. Learn the ins and outs of it and how to get the sound(s) that you like most from it. Don't box yourself into making the same exact sounds every time you open the DAW. Try new shit. Even if you hate, at least you'll know how it works and you can go back to making what you like, all the while learning new production skillz.

Let it come organically. Don't ever try to force it, and remember, you can record music pretty much anywhere anytime. You don't have to be confined to specific set of parameters. You can make your own. DAWs are blank canvases, make art with them.

Would like some feedback on this so far. Not sure how i'm feeling about it. I'm alternating between thinking its shit and thinking its decent. I've probably just been listening to it on a loop for too long.
>>
>>74651376

>would i see a direct improvement to my comp skills?

nigger it's not a fucking skill you just inject, you get as much out of something as you put in to it depending on how efficient you make use of that time
there's nothing you can't learn through the internet that you'd need to go to college for regarding composition, it's more about analysing genres you want to make and seeing the ideas they use and incorporating it into your own music

Honestly mate if you're just starting out I'd recommend getting a cheap multi-fx, Zoom are good bang for your buck and cheap. Once you find out what effects you gravitate to more you can go buy the expensive stompboxes. Plus it's fun as shit to play with a wacky multi-fx

In this day and age you might as well get an interface, plug your amp to the interface, the interface to a daw and back to the amp and have a huge library of effects for free. Pedals are more of a live thing.

I'd get a cheap audio interface, I have a focusrite 2i2 and it works fine, then just pirate any DAW like fl studio or ableton and use that for sequencing/effects/mixing
>>
>>74652248
So the processor and RAM (and other things that affect performance) aren't that big of a factor if I've got an interface?
>>
>>74652002

I'm looking at the focusrite 2i2 that was mentioned in >>74652248

Do you have any other recommendations for interfaces?
>>
>>74652356
I'm no expert but processor and all that bs is important when it comes to using a DAW as they're pretty heavy and lag like fuckers when you're stacking effects and heavy plug ins.
>>
>>74652356
CPU and RAM are very important for a music computer and having an interface doesn't change that. Unless you have an interface that uses it's own plugins and takes that load of the computer, but budget interfaces don't have that feature, that I know of.

>>
>>74652356
oh sorry I misread your post, I didn't see you were asking for computer specs

but no, if you record everything into an interface then into your computer, the CPU/RAM/processing stuff isn't too important since the DAW isn't doing a lot of work generating sounds, it's just playing them back

if you're going to be using a lot of VSTs and digital effects in your DAW though then you'll want good computer specs

but if you're only using your DAW as a basic sequencer and mixer then nah you don't have to drop a lot of money on a nice computer

I'm not really worried about the sound quality. It would be to emulate the "play an instrument" mechanic, like in Zelda games.

>>74652655
:(

>>74651830
The snare could prob be eq'd more at the higher frequencies and some more reverb added to keep its volume but reduce its harshness, the melody and synth programming is excellent tho

>>74651510
The horns sound a bit too "synthesized" but that's just my taste the atmosphere of the track builds up well and the loop that carried the beginning of the track is really catchy, the short change ups are well done and not to jarring.

>>74651116
The background dissonance sound is really compelling and ads another layer to the song which I dig, the piano melody gets a little repetitive and the kick sounds really weak to my ears try filling out the low end more as the bass also doesn't really stand out
>>
>>74653725

Do any of you kind folks own an Akai MPC500?

I bought one recently and I'm having a hell of a time with it. It's tons of fun, but I'm also frustrated because I am learning the interface, but not any technique.

Does any Anon have a favorite finger-drumming tutorial to recommend?

Also, how the fuck do I get a perfectly-aligned sample? I chop and trim then chop and trim until it sounds tight as fuck as a loop, but it never stays in time with the drums? It always has a slight off-beat that turns things into a cacophony.

I've tried beat calculators and time-stretching.

how do you stop abandoning genres when you start getting good at them? it feels like making the same track over and over again at a certain point.
>>
>>74648705
depends entirely on the type of game you're writing the soundtrack for, you can't generalize what people are looking for in OSTs
but if you're just going for that retro pixelgame aesthetic then it's either atmospheric bgm stuff like yours (although the bass is super jarring, you need to tone that down) or upbeat with catchy melodies, maybe some synthpop kinda stuff
basically this >>74648773
the music is supposed to enhance the game experience without distracting from it for the most part
>>
>>74656677
You just don't..?

>it feels like making the same track over and over again at a certain point.

so do something you intentionally haven't done before? idk man, the only time i've ever felt like that is when i do a hip hop song it always feels the same if i start from the beat... so i just don't lol

I'm not him but the answer is simple, just practice. Try new things every single day. Really learn the ins and outs of your DAWs, your VST's, and any hardware you have. All of your favorite artists, assuming you don't just listen to drivel, developed their sound(s) through years and years of experimenting and learning as much as they could about the instruments and tools they were working with.

That being said, you can never listen to too much music. Inundate yourself with music daily. Listen to new music that interests you, revisit old music that made you feel certain ways. Listen to the albums that made you want to pick up the hobby.

tl;dr just do shit. Practice and study every single day.

>implying anyone will shake his ass to your cookie cutter garbage

It's not a matter of being pretentious or intellectual, it's like a lot of people who call themselves producers don't even appreciate music in the first place.

I came in contact with this stuff and saw how common it was because sometimes I watch gear/software related videos on Youtube and have to endure that drivel. I can't help but think that this is the equivalent of fast-food for music.

And don't tell me that music to dance to has to be dumb down like this. Take the music from a band like, let's say, New Order or even 70's funk bands, it was danceable but still very interesting to listen to while sitting on a chair.

Anyway, it's not a problem for me, I will avoid this scene just like I avoided the shredding scene when I was learning how to play guitar.

Check out rutracker, has pretty much everything you could need, and everything I've pirated from there has worked so far

probably just drowned out by the millions of people who now have access to those tools. The good people are still out there, theres just a lot of people who think they can do it because of the access.

What should I add or change?
>>
>>74643634
Because literally everyone can get their hands on the tools, as you said. People without true passion for making music, who then sell their works to people without true passion for listening to music.

>>74661072
not too bad, add some longer lasting sounds or make the bass longer

MIllions do actually.
Just because you don't consider it good enough it doesn't mean others have the same opinion.

I agree with you that mainstream dance music is often dumb and bland, but people still like it, and as a producer I appreciate both the complex and relistenable music and the simple stuff too, as long as it's well made.

They're just made of different things to appreciate.
You can't look at pizza and say it's shit because it's not sweet enough, then look at cake and say it's shit because it's not salty enough.
Just like you can't look at Despacito and say it's shit for not being complex enough, then Autechre and say it's shit for not being catchy enough.

One doesn't necessarily want to have the strenghts that make the other worthwile, so it's pointless to judge it by the standards of the other.

This tbqh. Heres my setup for instance
Guitar->Interface->Computer->DAW->Speakers/Headphones
It works great for me personally
And if you wanna use effects and turn them on and off during a song real time you can hook up a midi controller like a drumpad or something and map the pads to certain effects and use the controller like a real pedal. I do this with Bias FX and it works really well.

I want to get a drum machine in 2017

preferably something portable and neat and can be used for gigging

I'm mostly into dreampop and shoegazer type stuff, I just need something to do some cool beats

Big fan of shit like ride, mbv, stereolab, the cure, depeche mode but I can't find any drummers where i live in rural buttfuck australia

any recs? what do all the kiddies use
>>
>>74660333
you do realise there are many great albums and songs that have been made on a DAW? if you have been in a club in the last fifteen years you would've heard one
>>

Push 2 worth getting lads? I use Ableton for everything, pretty fine with keyboard and mouse, just wondering if these things make that huge of a difference
>>
>>74663852
you're better off getting a general controller that isn't tied to a daw
>>
>>74664094
why though? if he's decided he's gonna stick with ableton, what's bad about it being daw-specific?
>>
Are there analog/modular synth guitar pedals and so what do they do and do they sound good?
>>
>>74663736
FL Studios, Ableton, Logic Pro, Pro Tools, maybe Audacity.

would the MOOG MF-101 work on my guitar?

Came into this thread just to ask this. I've been playing for over 10 years, but now that I have a lot more free time I'm getting interested in writing. Price doesn't matter. I just want to know what's a good interface and daw to use. I'm in the dark when it comes to this stuff. I also like the sound of using a midi controller for a song real time.
>>
i fell for the microkorg meme. is it worth using at all?
>>
>>74663610
>proper

Nope but I read way too much.

The "cut off" between amateur and serious looks like 1000 and up. Iirc the most popular set at that level rn is the Adam a7x's.

>>74664883
>good

Audient, apogee. Apollo etc

How do i make a new shitty sub genre of vaporwave?
>>
>>74666306
take two or more song songs. slow them down so both are the same tempo. every other beat, crossfade between them. maybe add reverb

I've been working on something of the likes for a little over a year now. It's a huge learning curve, though, and it doesn't help that I don't have any formal education in this. There's no incentive to do anything more than 2-4 minute songs with 3 or 4 instruments and a vocalist, so I really don't blame people for not trying very hard with bedroom pop. The only thing that keeps me going with this is probably just mild autism and intense boredom at college.
>>
I'm still lacking the final main vocals.
What do you think of this?
How can I make the ending sound more chaotic without losing focus?

What do you guys use to jam a little when you're on the road? Are there any good mobile apps or something to record some melodies and simple beats without me having to whip out a clunky laptop + headphones combo? Just for creativity's sake.
>>
>>74643061
hell, how do I even mix the bass guitar and bass drum so they both are audible?
>>
>>74666693
you eq out some of the frequencies from the bass guitar that the kick drum uses
you can also sidechain compress the bass guitar slightly in addition
>>
I'm not much of a software guy. Everything I do is on guitar or physical synths and other real-life instruments. However, I can't play drums and I was thinking it'd be easiest to just use some kind of drum software and also, while I'm at it, maybe a midi piano or something. I used to use FL Studio and that was ok, but all the links I can find for downloading it warn of viruses and I just got a new computer, don't really want to risk it.

Any help?
>>
What needs to be worked on this?

Could some link me to a good Organ VST.
I've looked for some time now and I still can't find just what I'm looking for.

This is an example of what I'm looking for:

Thank you.

Just get Logic. It has a built in drummer insert which uses dozens of real drum recordings
>>
>>74668060
