Never posted in these threads before. I have a C64C and wanted to learn SID-Wizard and just how the SID works in general so I made a kind of remix of this old PS1 menu tune from Gran Turismo 1, I recorded it from SID-Wizard using my original C64C linked to my PC and then further edited in FL Studio, restoring the original drums that I laid on top of it. Nothing special but I think it turned out kinda cool, though I think the original is better.

you can try your damn hardest to write a good song, a bunch of anons have been larping for long enough that they should have gotten good by now, but if you release your songs you won't be taken seriously because you don't have a basic clue about production, you can't just bully reality into submission, some anons claim that they are just having fun but some anons like the boomer and justicefag have strong beliefs about commercial success lmao

vocal recording & processing
knob controller recording workflow
maybe build 2 basic vsts (synth + fx)

there's a whole layer of 'magic' that you're oblivious to, especially in the mid 2000s there were some huge hits that had really really unsubtle warmth, any random kid would hear those and realize that there was something special about them and you'd have to be an idiot to think you can produce similar quality songs by yourself, then in the early 2010s there was a lot of shouty digital slop and the music industry declined according to estimates by goldman sachs, now there's an analog revival again and you have to look really hard for any popular song that doesn't have at least very good analog emulation on it which was done deliberately by someone with good ears and good monitors, people like bruno mars are really into analog gear, it's really insufferable how oblivious most anons are to this

it's mainly the soulja boy skrillex boomer and justicefag who have been harassing me for a long time, they could've let my rhetorical question slide about why you don't see poorfag pajeets making top tier western style music if all you need is a computer and a pirated DAW, it's been really pissing me off how they overvalue songwriting and hate on "gearfags", they've proven time and time again that they're really stupid and despicable people, it gives me great pleasure to make them feel inadequate like i found the vintage SSL VCA timing jitter thing which even SSL themselves probably don't even know, they have the "4K" button on a lot of their new gear which isn't really doing the thing that SSL 4000 series consoles/bus compressors are famous for

you care about starting psycho arguments about how production doesn't matter that much for commercial suuccess, how it's audiophile snake oil etc, most people care about making good music and they're just coping when they say that their unpopular music is good, if your music is actually good it makes sense to profit from it or at least grow a fanbase in some niche genre

It matters a lot.
For the plugins vs hardware gear argument you'll have to take the matter to the author of this book as it is the one that redpilled me.
Big name engineers tend to be boomers accustomed to working with hardware. It's the workflow that they prefer. Your grandmother probably writes notes on a book instead of a computer simply because it is the way she is used to do so.

this guy is old as shit and his main hustle now is grifting like bob katz, hardly a credible person, i can hear with my own ears and so can many others, the pressure on mixing engineers to go in the box is for workflow (time is money) and making many revisions for clients, for producing and recording it's practically common sense at least in professional circles to use a lot of hardware

it's compressors, synths etc too. as a producer you don't have the same requirements to get a dozen mixes out the door in a day, you have an ownership stake even if you're producing for an artist and not being the artist yourself, you can take your sweet time using hardware to get the best sound you can possibly get.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0e9Hk9if7to
this guy isn't a professional and he's talking about mixing with plugins but just look how many people in the comments are doubting him, the commenters don't really know shit about fuck, there are anons who straight up deny that analog warmth/coloration is a thing, they say it's placebo, snake oil etc

Beautiful piece of academic open source DSP software. I've used it to compile pd externals of their classic resonant filters or examples of the DaFX book that were too cumbersome in pd. But if I used a DAW I'd have exported vsts. Can make plugins quite easily as long as you don't ask it Fourier transform or convolution.

You say all this knowing that we know that you haven't even started a single song, which makes your post the perfect storm of derangement and retardation.
It's too perfect not to be bait.
One post like this every once in a while could be believable, but you just HAVE to have some fundamental contradiction in every one of your posts, plus all the contradictory excuses when asked for anything that could prove you're for real (even just naming the gear you're always bragging about; all while literally being named after the EQ'd Chinese earbuds you used to obsess over in the >>>/iemg/ thread).
It's just too consistently bait-like to be believable, man.

I find that the more I understand how to make music the less I enjoy it. What's more, I can't enjoy a song I made and/or mixed because I dissected it and listened to it on repeat so much that it becomes meaningless. It's like at least for me, understanding music on a technical level draws the soul out of it.

>Rippin'
The original song's beat is rippin', not me. I actually suck at making beats, always have, so it's nice to remix songs that have sick beats because I can actually do it. My C64 beat sounds fine as-is, but I layered some of the original drums on top of it in FL Studio because it just sounded so much better. I wasn't able to reproduce the busyness of that sick breakbeat with the C64 because the SID only has 3 channels so the end result felt slightly empty. I've heard sick breaks on C64 though so it's just my lack of expertise, I'm sure a better SID composer can create tight breaks with the SID, along with other instruments.

ridiculous take because that was the state of the art by 2010 standards, the song is fine and you're complaining about production/mixing which is the opposite of the sentiment in pic related. the solution isn't to "sell out" and make "slop", you're supposed to make art by 2025+ standards but you just don't understand what is good music.

not an argument yourself, so you're really trying to say that the afrojak track has bad songwriting but in reality the songwriting is decent enough compared to most mainstream music (the music that you claim has masterful songwriting such that it dwarfs the significance of the production) and it's the production that's a bit ass by modern standards

You say all this knowing that we know that you haven't even started a single song, which makes your post the perfect storm of derangement and retardation.
It's too perfect not to be bait.
One post like this every once in a while could be believable, but you just HAVE to have some fundamental contradiction in every one of your posts, plus all the contradictory excuses when asked for anything that could prove you're for real (even just naming the gear you're always bragging about; all while literally being named after the EQ'd Chinese earbuds you used to obsess over in the >>>/iemg/ thread).
It's just too consistently bait-like to be believable, man.

totally ignores the Dutch aspect of house/electronic music business. afrojack being dutch has more to do with his success than his music. he had 'ok' music at the right time and was a dutch person for the dutch execs to put on bills.
EDM didn't need good music, it just needed fresh music. it was all mixed and mastered well to sound good regardless of the song, arrangement, performance or gear. it just needed a buildup and a drop and the record label would do the rest.

the music business is a business but no one here knows anything about it, so you argue over plugins and cables and irrelevant nonsense.
afrojack is rich and famous because he was and is a charismatic dutch guy who looks good in photos and the dutch people organising half of the EDM industry knew of him and liked him.

In the chance that you're not Chuzo, EDM was insanely popular in the Netherlands even in those days, and signed Dutch producers were really a dime a dozen, even in respected labels like Spinnin, Ultra, etc. and very few of them made it anywhere close to where Afrojack got, both in EDM and in pop.
Sure he had appeal and everything, but a good chunk of his competition did too, and at the time making it as an EDM producer/DJ wasn't that contingent on your presentation. A lot of popular DJs at the time, who got the same opportunities as Afrojack weren't really attractive or charismatic at all.
For example one of the biggest names of 2009/2010 was Wolfgang Gartner, who looks like pic related, comes from the US (which didn't have a fraction of the scene the Netherlands had), and is on record saying that in his first gigs he was so nervous he couldn't place the needle on the disc from how hard his hands were shaking.

Besides, Afrojack having those advantages doesn't negate what I'm saying because if he came up today with everything exactly as it was back in the day (same looks, presence, music, etc) he wouldn't go anywhere specifically because his music isn't up to today's standard.

I am thinking about buying some music gear. It's not easy because there are several possible avenues. I'm not super strapped for cash but I don't want to buy everything only to have it sit in a pile unused. I want to make each new piece of gear deliberate.

Right now I have an electric guitar, a full size digital piano, midi keyboard + computer and audio interface and a mic.

I have made both idm/dnb/breakcore things as well as ambient stuff and also slowcore and shoegaze music. In Renoise and Ableton.

Part of the reason I want to buy something new is because the chance came up to play music together with some other people. What kind of music we will play is still up in the air, but I have a feeling that I will have to have a kind of leading role for us to succeed.

Ideally I would bring a laptop with a DAW to brainstorm things together, but I don't have a strong laptop like that and I feel like it would be a waste to buy one just for this.

I have a feeling that some groovebox type thing could work nicely for this situation, but all the options are overwhelming. Elektron Digitone/Digitakt look cool and they would also be giggable in the future, but just a bit more money gets a Synthstrom Deluge that looks far more capable overall, especially on the composing side.

Another wildly different idea I have is to get a bass guitar. I think studying bass could make my stuff more groovy, and it's very different to play bass lines on strings than inputting with keys. The downside is that it's a big instrument that wouldn't combine so well with my guitar or piano in a solo live act (I would need to be putting down and picking up the bass constantly or playing it laid out on the table). I feel like it would level up my songwriting though, and in the group play environment I could facilitate playing nicely if I could lay down nice grooves on the fly.

I feel like I am in a bit of a rut and maybe spicing things up with something new could help me get motivated again.

I got a pbass end of last year, it sounds so much better than any virtual bass plugin and it way more fun. I've already written some cool basslines with it and it's helped me see the rhythm section in a different light. I'd recommend getting a bass. I don't play live or in a band, however.

You can do without an amp it's just my preferece, it's easier to control the levels coming into the interface when it's already compressed by the amp. Also I never really used a good software amp before but an anon suggested some plugins a couple threads ago so I should try that.

there's a computer related song i made a long time ago, it's technically cheating to put past releases in but it's not like we'll get enough submissions anyway. i'll post it soon

I want to move past ableton live lite, but the price tag of the suite is a bit high. what DAWs are you guys using? How much have you spent on plugins, esp guys using reaper or other cheap/free daws? Im very conflicted on where to go from here, but have been really feeling the limitations lately and want to upgrade

Suite is overrated as long as you have third party plugs. I got an upgrade from Lite to Standard on Thomann on black Friday last year for $138 USD.
...still haven't installed it yet, but that's my problem.

I would recommend Reaper.
For plugins I have pirated Fabfilter

whoops I clicked post accidentally.
Fabfilter has good effects but the synths can be lacking - you don't always want Twin 3's clean sound so I have both Repro and Serum which i have legit licenses for. I don't use Serum much because it's buggy on linux but it's a great plugin otherwise.
With Repro you can get a rich "analog" sound without much effort.

Why not just use Vital? That has a native Linux version, right?

Title: Beep Bop Boop It's Yo Boi The Rapping Computer (feat. Computer and Mightypaw)

>be me
>12 years old
>mucking around between lessons with my friend
>playing with this app called Autorap
>one of us has the bright idea to let the computer do the rapping
>place phone next to speaker and open ease of access center on the teacher's computer
>wait for the computer to narrate all the options
>friend says "yo yo yo it's yo boi computer, beep bop boop"
>stop recording
And then I used my shitty FL studio skills to extend the song - you can hear the splice where the beat doesn't align lol.

Also a funny prank i remember is enabling the narrator. Nobody including the teacher knew how to turn that off so they would just mute the speakers instead lmao

I've been looking at the Behringer X Touch and control surfaces in general. Do they actually speed up workflow or is it just one of those "looks professional" gadgets?

the whole dilemma is you really need big drivers to hear low end right, but that shit is expensive. therefore you buy mediocre poorfag stuff and then mix check on as many different systems as you can. i used to be able to play shit on venue speakers, but i don't have that luxury anymore

go deep, explore just one plugin, 1000 times
you will find something new, learn sound design
