>>74729088

I have a Multimix 16 USB 2.0 and it gets quite toasty after a while, but doesn't get any hotter once it reaches a point - one thing I would mention though is that the power boards on these fail due to leaky capacitors and I'm sure that heat doesn't help preserve the caps, so if you're not happy to replace them (mine failed after about a year and the replacements have been fine for the subsequent four or so I've used the mixer) it's probably best to power down the mixer when not using it.

There's also a sizeable spike that gets sent through the audio outputs with these mixers when powering on or off so make sure your amps/speakers are off when doing that.

Delayed synths are great.

Crunchy snare- what is that out of curiosity? It's great.

Are paired stereo mics really recommended for recording acoustic guitars or is that just a meme?
Can't see why i'd want to record the neck seperately when it's mostly just finger sliding sounds. Doesn't seem worth the extra cost.
>>
>>74734439
The only time I wouldn't use a stereo setup for an acoustic is when a mix is really dense and the acoustic is just a background part. Even then I might


It's not a matter of just recording the body or the neck (also it's not really the neck; mics rarely go up past where the body meets the neck). There are tons of different positions for the mics to be in. Different positions and different mics offer different sonic qualities that you can use to mix together and create a better sound than either of them has on their own.

Also we hear in stereo, so it sounds more natural and adds a lot more depth when you have a stereo recording of an instrument.
>>
>>74734490
I see. Thanks for the info.
Any recommendations as far as paired stereo mics go? Can you get some decent ones for around 400€? I think i saw people recommend the Rode NT5, but i've also heard that recordings of high frequencies can get very shrill and stick out like a sore thumb in the recording with these mics.

Hi /prod/, do I need a DI unit if I already have an interface, or is that redundant?

Aw, thanks.
I took a field recording, added variety of basic effects, automated the FM parameter on Ableton's Sampler, resampled it few times and used it as a basis.

I programmed drums by hand with quite a lot of delay and reverb. Basic compression on them too, nothing special.

Then I played the whole track live using Ableton Push and recorded the whole thing into the other track as a single 5 minute audio clip. I did that in order to prevent myself from going back and editing single MIDI notes - that kind of thing makes the process tiring for me and I just get stuck doing micro changes that do nothing for the bigger picture.

Then I cut out the unnecessary parts thus stripping it down to 3.5mins. I overdubed some of the sounds by copy-pasting it on another track with slight adjustments - panning, filtering, delay, etc. thus making the track more 'alive'.

Finally - a simple mastering chain (that was the first time I tried so hard to do that) consisting of a slight bass boost, EQ'ing shitty frequencies with a narrow Q; stereo widening, exciting and maximizing via Ozone 7 and finally a limiter.

That's about it.

>>74740053
Your voice is not bad although sometimes it feels like you don't have a sec to catch a breath - maybe try doing multiple takes?
Also read up on vocal mixing - it sounds too thin and lost in the mix. It needs compresssion bad.
Also try sidechaining delay with the vocal track - it will sound cleaner.
>>
>>74737743
2 seconds in and there's too much sibilance to listen to it.


To everyone here: mixing is important to learn, do it. You can't think you don't need to because its so obvious who the guys that don't bother.
Their stuff sucks by default. If you can't be bothered learning just stop doing music because everything you make will be unlistenable.

thanks btw
>>
Most people use drum samples for drums, yeah? Why is that? I mean, as opposite to VSTs. Why did drum-machine VST never flourish? As I understand, the only things that exist are stuff like EZDrummer, which seem to only have a place for rock music.

It's just weird to me, that I'm supposed to build it by drag-dropping sounds around, or do most people trigger them with a MIDI controller?
>>
>>74740157
Remember - there is no need to do the vocal track in one take.

Reid Stefan's video is a fairly good start. He uses some UAD plugins throughout his vids but they're not mandatory - instead of 1176 you can use Ableton's Glue Compressor and so on.
I hope this helps a bit.

>>74740117
thanks for the feedback, actually that's my main concern at the moment

I'm using headphones all the time, and when I play from a speaker, it sounds like shit.
maybe ableton isn't the best solution form mixing?
anyway, I like a lot of sine waves and distortion in my tracks so that's something I kinda want
I need to learn a couple things about frequencies
>>74740287
poorfag here, I'm mostly using Kontakt drum machines via ableton since I can't afford the real hardware deal

You need to get an interface if you don't have one and near field monitors so you get an accurate sound image. If you don't have this stuff you're probably going to make rubbish.

Samples are easies to use and allow more customization. I hardly ever use several samples from one set, and it's easier to manipulate each sample directly that way.
Kontakt libraries are good, but also heavy in terms of CPU use, which is a big turn off. Lot of people seem to use them, tho.

>>74745457
i suppose you quoted a different post than you intended to
seems to me that compression doesnt completely fix it all when theres a quiter word that you cant understand so well. fading is also good to trim down the air inspirations, but that doesnt have to do with compression

>>74745517
how long youve been posting that
learn to mute it tighter so you actually stop the string from ringing completely
mute with your left hand also. same way you palmmute.
also, muting with both hands sometimes makes the sound tighter

>>74745517
sounds like a question for /gg/

>>74745670

>>
>>74745751
recording method is irrelevant if you don't have the instrument technique down
>>
>>74744789
i won't get into hypothetical with you but you're wrong. the *perfect* vocalist will not require it.

it's unlikely that you'll ever end up with a vocalist that good but there are people who really are that on point. The only guy i've read of is sinatra- but my point is that the amount of automation shown here >>74740882 is indicative of poor technique.

>>74745517
gate, possibly transient shaper, tie something around the neck to mute strings for parts that don't use any open notes

>>74745927
very true
>>
I made a song in a couple hours today, just a rough composition an I like it but I'm not happy with how it loses momentum at around the 2 min mark, and the ending kinda sucks. I'm not sure how to fix it, but I feel like losing the bass that long kinda sucks. Any suggestions?
I use shitty Audiotool because I like trying things out at work
>https://www.audiotool.com/track/encanter/
This is still definitely a work in progress
>>
>>74745457
Even after compression, there are still dynamic issues with many vocals that need to be dealt with. Words that are too quiet or too loud, etc. You may think "why not just compress it more?", but then you would be left with a lifeless squashed vocal. The idea is to compress vocals until they're close to where they need to be, and then after that to go into surgical detail with volume automation.

Also depending on the settings, compressors can end up take away the micro-dynamics in vocals that give them life. Pic related is a crude example of the difference between compressing them more, and just manually raising up each word.

Also there's the more subjective aspect, where maybe a word that is louder than others actually benefits from being louder because of the emotion or drama of the moment in the song. Turning a compressor up even higher might just automatically bring that word down, whereas with volume automation you might decide to leave it loud because it sounds better that way.


>>74745944
I disagree. There is a limit to vocal technique and there are instances where it is not the solution. If the perfect vocalist needs to belt an extremely loud note, sure they can back off the mic; but they might not want the resulting extra room noise. The solution then would be to instead back off the gain on the preamp or just ride the fader.

But yes if you somehow end up recording the perfect singer, automation becomes less important. For the vast majority of mixes/singers, this isn't the case.
>>
>>74740394

>>74746112
>resulting extra room noise
>he solution then would be to instead back off the gain on the preamp

good point. that's part of the reason they comp stuff, yeah. for a louder or quieter part it makes sense to just record that part with different gain separately and splice em together.

Those are both options, but I like to ride the gain knob during the performance. If you know the song they're singing well, you can anticipate the changes in volume and change the gain accordingly

honestly it doesn't sound close at all

need to switch up and fine tune the synth patch and add layers.... like a lot

the mixing sounds rough at best. the kick and sample starting at 1:16 aren't working for you at all

this track, especially because of the genre needs a fuck load more refining

Unprocessed samples sound like this

But there are also samples of it ran through the following pedals:
>Fat Panda – Custom Built Octave Fuzz by Kim Reid
>Fender Blender – Fender’s super maxed out fuzz box
>DigiTech Metal Master – “Heavy Metal Distortion”
>Famulus – Red Witch Thick and Creamy Overdrive
>Death By Audio – Robot aka “wtf is happening rn”
>Way Huge Swollen Pickle – aka Tiger Fuzz
>Colorsound – ToneBender

I bundled them all into a Drum Rack, organized by type of drum sound. Each pad has 8-32 samples, selectable via macro knob.

Focus more on sound design. Add more effects. Master basic effects such as delay and flanger. Get soundtoys 5 maybe. Learning how to master wouldn't hurt either. Drums seem very backgroundish, which gives a vidya vibe, since vidya soundtracks focus much more on the melody than on the drums. Give more emphasis to the rhythm.

Making a soundtrack for an upcoming Quake 1 mapset, so fooling around with working in that style (which is essentially NIN fucking around atmospheric shiet)

came up with this almost 8 minute monster:
https://clyp.it/g0mfvmal

Vocals recorded myself (3 layers), bass is all generated from a single sine wave, running through 3 parallel effects banks (learned from the recent GDC talk on the Doom soundtrack), then just some Dark Matter VST and thats pretty much it. Everything else is live fooling around with how much bass goes to which effects bank, how much delay and distortion is applied to the 'feedback' effect bank (where a bunch of sounds are generated by the bass notes, but in between the bass notes using compressors and delay and distortion)

Seemed to turn out pretty well

what are you trying to do with your song? am I supposed to wanna dance? in that case you need to beef up the bass and bassdrum. I'd make it evolve quicker too - the intro sounds super lame, but it becomes really cool ones a few more layers are added in. at 50s it starts becoming cool.

Thanks for the feedback. The track was definitely an attempt to kinda break all the typical rules i use to write harmony. It occurred to me while writing that it was only starting to make sense to me because i was hearing it so much.

Listening to your track, like the other guy said, the bass is weak sounding. The drum machine sounds are very flat and dry, but I realize that might be what you're going for. The beepy melody thing was kinda irritating. The speech samples helped add a lot of atmosphere.

You can control synths with a MIDI controller but you'd also need the synths themselves - no biggie though, most modern computers will host software synths easily.

Don't choose the very cheapest controller but don't go for megabucks items either until you're sure that you need their features - decent keys that won't crap out on you and some assignable control knobs will get you there.

The keyboard makes no sounds on its own, you'll need extra software (like FL or garageband or whatever) or hardware to actually get started.

That's why I'm recommending finding some software to use, get it working, see if you're having any fun yet, then start looking for a keyboard.
>>
>>74766409
Yeah i know they need the software, i have an old MBP so i was thinking GarageBand since it seems like the most basic and user-friendly one for starters.

You change the bpm by renaming a scene launcher - don't think it can be done with individual clips.

it wont. Use kontakt 4 for your old stuff and kontakt 5 for newer libraries that need it.

I often use Kontakt 4 and 5 side by side - just treat them as different VSTs (although technically they are more 'shells' to host sample libraries)

while we're speaking about kontakt.

Anyone else have issues with slow loading time when initiating kontakt? Takes a good 30-60 seconds every time I create a new track with kontakt on it. Dont know why, have indexed all my libraries but my hardrive starts whirring every time I open kontakt.

Kontakt 5. Have tried different versions but the issue still remains.

Would you be able to explain any unique advantages it has? I use sampler and simpler in ableton for most things, and absynth for anything granular or weird

>>74772689
>Like as a sampler for normal stuff rather than building instruments..?

As in I drag in sounds I like and make an instrument out of it. Synthshots, perscussive elements with tonality, voicecuts, etc.

So yeah, making instruments.

I dont use it as a drum sampler, I got NI Battery for that.

It's just a pain with the loading time, because for some odd reason, it seems to index my kontakt libraries everytime I load it.
>>
>>74772002
My PC is crap so kontakt libraries take a while to load, just like any heavy plug in desu. I usually have to make kontakt tracks in a different project and export them cause they're too heavy to interact with the other plug ins unless they're very basic. Like, grandeur can interact with other instruments, but choirs and drums are fucked.
Its worth it tho kontakt is awesome. You pirated it so don't bitch.
>>
What would you guys recommend DAW wise for scoring?

I realise they can all probably do it in one way or another but some are really not meant to be used in that way (such as Maschine 2).

How can I make a sound sound distant and loud at the same time?

I know that a low sounds sound further than a loud sound, but imagine, let's say, an atom bomb exploding. Its really far, far enough that it won't kill you, but it's still gonna have a high volume. Reverb and delay help getting that effect but don't cut it.
>>
>>74774318
Eq out lows, some highs, less Pre delay on your reverb. Delay. If you can't get it you don't know how to use reverb
>>
>>74774455
EQ'd out lows and some highs and it helped, so thanks for that. Also lowered attack with a transient shaper and played around with reverb and delay a bit. I'm getting closer but it's still hard to get this overpowering far away sound. Guess it's just practice.
>>
>>74774318
sub bass rumbling may give the impression of the sound being more powerful

Dont start by recreating shit, that's retarded. Create your own stuff and post it here or wherever. People will tell you it's shit for x reason. Work on x reason until your shit is actually not shit. Then you can plagiarize other people.
>>
>>74776326
Only losers who can't finish their own songs do that :^)

Break every component down that you can- make a similiar feeling drum kit, a bass, lead, pad, sample so on so on, identify a key, chords etc.

For more "complicated" shit, and not just copying songs- take note of everything that catches your ear in terms of sound design, a harmony, progression, reverb weirdness or whatever and find out exactly how to do it, and apply it to your own stuff. Literally write every technique or instance of a song you want to learn about with a time mark etc.

Not what you asked but oh well

>>74776383
Oh, I'm sorry. I felt the same way when Bowie died.

Those are all great songs man, it wasn't just his voice holding it together (obviously it propelled it to the next level but still). Good songs are good songs of course, but good mixing and arrangement can take songs to their ill potential, or even just add another facet to be appreciated from an engineering perspective.

Bowie was very good. Lou Reed was also great. I just feel silly sometimes, knowing that if I had a singer that great by my side my music would skyrocket in terms of quality.
Lots of EDM gets by with extremely processed vocals nowadays, but I'm a sucker for great singers.
>>
>>74776534
Take some lessons?

Or proposition people at talent shows and bars or whatever idk man. There are a lot of kids with powerful voices, not like the greats but there's magic to be made I think... or hope

If I find the next Michael Jackson I'll owe you one.

Dont count on it, it's been several decades of shitty singers, autotune and compressing the fuck out of everything.

I made this loop thing and added lofi garbage to it. This is my first attempt at an actually good loop.

I say "good loop" but I'm sure it's ass anyway.

newbie here. should i get a headphone amp? my pc cant drive my ath-900x even a little. will it make it more enjoyable for me? i just use a logitech gaming headset for pc stuff since those dont sound very good without an amp
>>
>>74777558
normally your audio interface has one or more headphone amps
if you don't have one then that's the chance grab one to also reduce latency and enable sample perfect playback via ASIO, in addition to bundling some microphone preamps and the mentioned headphone amp in one box, much more useful than a standalone headphone amp and usually even cheaper than the amps marketed to hifi people
the focusrite scarlet range is something to look at, their headphone amps are very ok for the price
>>
i have around 100 808 bass samples from various packs but I have only found 1(one) that is suitable for my beats. Anyone got links for some decent kits?
>>
>>74777610
do you recommend any? something i that could drive my headphones and i could plug in a mic?
>>
>>74777610
Seconding this minus the Scarlett thing

The weak headphone amp is the second biggest complaint about it, though it's enough for some people

I had fun and learned a few things but ultimately it just makes the process of making music more convoluted than it has to be. Everything you buy gets stale very fast and creates a desire to buy more gear instead of satisfying anything.

I wish I was recording everything i made when I first got these instruments and effects. I kinda aimlessly noodled, thinking i was 'learning' these boxes, thinking I'd go back and record stuff with them later. In reality once that spark was gone there wasn't a whole lot of motivation to play with them. I found the niches and tricks that I found interesting and didn't wanna keep playing those sounds forever.

It's such a distraction. It made me realize that most of the money to be made in the music industry is from musicians and not for them.

>Everything you buy gets stale very fast and creates a desire to buy more gear instead of satisfying anything.
you caught gear acquisition syndrome, that doesn't mean gear is to blame.
>>
>>74778854
To add to this, I found that I became obsessed with the process. Routing all these boxes up in convoluted ways. Resampling and CVs and generative and deterministic composition and feedback chains and all this other shit. It's very much process driven, rather than result driven, which is fine. It ended up making things a chore eventually and it was easily the least productive I've been musically. None of it really sounded good.
>>
>>74778867
I don't know anyone that uses gear that doesn't have it. Maybe it's not so bad if you're poor but I was in a position I could buy whatever I wanted basically and now I'm torn and just wanna sell all this shit even though I don't need the money. I feel guilty because I'd honestly just rather fuck with Serum and Ableton and write something than hook my modular and hardware synths up or play guitar with my friends thru my $50 PA rather than expensive amps and pedals.

I've never felt so directly manipulated by marketing.
>>
>>74778945
>oh man i bought all this stuff that i dont want anymore but i dont need the money so i dont wanna sell it
lol rich people problems
>>
>>74778971
Don't get me wrong, I like all this shit, I worked hard to earn the money to buy it but like... the novelty wears off. You start seeing all these old bald buys making awful sounding shit with rooms full of hardware and like... I don't wanna end up there.
>>
>>74778945
Could you do a performance with it
>>
>>74778693
The DAW controllers are good ideas. I haen't tried Push 2 but it looks flash.. I have Maschine Studio and the jog wheel is really worth it. Before I was clicking all the time on the arranger for playback now my hands don't get tired.

I never got into modular and stuff you're doing 'cause I don't like those synth sounds, especially step sequence sounding, that shit is played
>>
>>74778757
No, it's just a different point of view, some producers actually want to complete music and don't want to waste time, there is a reason most successful producers don't use modular synthesizers, despite having enough wealth to procure them.
>>
>>74779056
>most successful producers don't use modular synthesizers
but they do use some form of hardware usually
>some producers actually want to complete music and don't want to waste time
it's just as easy to dick around with vst's as it is with gear though. more so for some people, even.

Lou Reed was a great singer?
>>
>>74779081
I'll agree alot probably use some hardware but I bet those same producers mostly use software for the majority of their stuff.

Hardware is fun, it's nice being forced into using limitations. It's nice touching knobs and knowing there's capacitors and stuff in there releasing charges thousands of times a second to make your bloops. It's a novelty though for most and an attempt at claiming 'authenticity'.

Getting kinda sick of subtractive synths though. Which there was more of a focus on buchlaesque complex oscillators and 2017-worthy FM and sampling synths.

how to fix phasing problems when processing multiple tracks of the same instrument
>>
>>74780555
that's what doubling is about
>>
>>74779242
Amateur-ish and cheesy as hell.

>>74779598
Flat mix, not bad, not good, just flavorless.

>>74779951
The perfect post-ironic piece.

>>74780555
Slightly dislocate them by a few milliseconds or less.
>>
>>74780626
it sounds bad, its absolutely undesirable

>>74780773
it causes a flanger like sound, only stops when i dislocate it too much that it sounds like a double hit on the drums
>>
>>74780555
>>74781016

This is sounding very much like a re-phrased version of this anon >>74769798 and even if you're not this person the solution is the same - you need to make your doubled tracks sound dis-similar enough that they don't interact so much, timing is one way to separate them and small variations in pitch is another.
>>
>>74781016
>it causes a flanger like sound

I mean yeah, that's what chorus is and how string sections work.
>>
>>74781430
i know it, and i want to get rid of it but dont know how
>>74781394
lol yeah im the same anon, you caught me
this time its not about a doubled track though, its really two mics or something of the same take. i added a tape sim plugin on them and now they sound buggy. dont u know any other way to separate tracks besides variation in tempo and pitch?
>>
>>74781581
If you're doubling the exact same sound playing the exact same note there's no way get rid of phasing. Question is, why would you do that, what effect are you trying to achieve?
>>
>>74781581
>two mics or something of the same take

There's a phase tool called preFIX I use for that when all else fails (it has other sections but the phase alignment section is what you're looking for) - it's probably still available somewhere online but in case it isn't...

>>74781707
im doing it to get a heavier sound. its a channel with snare, kick and toms sends, and im distorting and compressing it

when i put a tape plugin on the individual parts and on the mixup channel they cancel each other because of the tape plugin's unstable modulations

I'd parallel process them instead of stack them together and put different effects which is what I'm assuming you're doing.

>>74781877
Damn sounds much cleaner and more beefed up now, very nice.
>>
>>74781906
Aren't stacking dry and wet tracks and parallel processing the exact same thing?...

>>74782137
yes

Where can I get new instrument lacks for FL studio? I downloaded a bunch of loops but they don't allow for much versatility.

Mainly looking for brass and percussion sounds. Any good synthetic VST recommendations would be appreciated as well

Use fades, warp/ stretch things, light reverb can cover up loop points slickly

>>74783764
I like how the patterns and melodies lag a little bit. And the melody is alright. But it's not very creative, but I do think it's put together well.

the lags are unintentional
its a cover song
