what the hell is wrong with analogschizo? i'm pretty sure he's paid by music gear manufacturers to encourage more sales, but it's so annoying it would make me want to go ITB only out of spite.

>>106108477
I hope they cited my work.

>>106108525
you lack a basic clue, that's all. the boomer has admitted that he isn't even close to doing what engineers from the 1980s were doing. even during the beatles time and before that, studio engineers were intentionally shaping the sound and not just being held back by the audio technology available to them at the time. i'm uninterested in helping you any further.

>>106108525
He's been outed as a troll multiple times. He's literally just being retarded and belligerent on purpose.

i wish i could make music like david forbes

analog gives women the ick

These are all popular and/or classic records that people love despite the bad production.

im ok with chorizo staying here as long as he always calls it rectalog

>>106108709
that's not remotely bad production compared to anons naive bullshit that doesn't even reach modern autechre tier of ~10k youtube views per song

>>106108735
how many streams do you have?

>>106108747
kill yourself retarded troll, you lack the mental capacity to plan ahead, you're like an animal, you don't understand that building things take time, you've been doing this for 8+ years and hardly learned anything

how many rectalog compressors do you have

>>106108762
OK no streams then. Not great considering you started over a year ago and I assume put a lot of time and money into it.

Has this nigga done a blind A/B test between analog and digital?

literally the most unhinged despicable manchildren who reach for the same mental gymnastics over and over, never learning, like shakira - hips don't lie used some of the most expensive analog gear known to man, but that has bad mixing according to anon, so that justifies not trying with your own digital slop

>>106108777
kill yourself retard, i literally didn't even buy any gear or even an audio interface until this year besides midi controllers

>>106108779
>test
fuck no he DECIDES first then punishes reality for not being what he expected

>>106108794
post flintstones

>>106108735
Any Autechre song has infinitely better production than any of these.
Some of these are homemade recordings (the Clairo song has over a hundred million views and look how she recorded it) and some are literally demo tapes.

You can't deny it. People will enjoy and popularize great music regardless of the production quality, and denying that these are an example of that is the only thing you can attempt to do because otherwise you'd be forced to admit that you're wrong, and your troll larp persona isn't supposed to do that.

shakira kinda sucks tho tbqhwyfam

>>106108794
Post proof

>>106108779
>>106108813
it's a self-own for you to admit that you can't hear the difference, so you think it's all about the songwriting or emotional performances, you literally suck gorilla donkey balls, you lack the most basic intuition for what even sounds good, so someone like dj khaled can hit a home run whereas redditors hate his music because of the songwriting but it sounds really good so it's successful

one more point on the songwriting thing if songwriting didnt matter why would anyone go to concerts to hear a band play music that doesnt go through the same audio engineering as the version on the album

>>106108835
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFV73c5aL_U
the successful bands have legit live setups, coldplay etc

>>106108848
the beatles were making girls coom fromt heri music years and years before their live setups were good

>>106108833
make some music nigga

>>106108855
they were barely scraping by, taking amphetamines to have the energy to do lots of small ass live shows

>>106108874
like youre doing now??

the clairo song was released through a proper label, it's called father/daughter records but it's not her father, it has a full on production that has some lo-fi aspects but it's an authentic lo-fi

>>106108833
So are you saying that that those records have good production (objectively false) and that people enjoy them because of that, or that those records have bad songwriting on top of bad production (so people enjoy them for no reason)?

>>106108912
retard retard retard retard retard retard retard retard (You) (You) (You) (You) (You) (You) (You) (You)

YOU'RE A DELUSIONAL DESPICABLE SHITSTAIN

YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY FULL OF YOURSELF TO CLAIM THEY HAVE SHITTY PRODUCTION AS IF YOU CAN MAKE ANYTHING LIKE THAT

HOLY FUCK LITERALLY KILL YOURSELF DERANGED LEAD POISONED BOOMER

>>106108907
>but it's an authentic lo-fi
Just because sounding terrible is part of the appeal it doesn't mean that it doesn't sound terrible and complete opposite of what you've been preaching.
Also LMAO at you scrambling to google any background info that can make it sound less amateurish so you can pretend it doesn't sound like shit (it unquestionably does)

completely deplorable mentally ill stupid idiots, literally dunning-kruger like those idiot bank robbers that inspired the dunning-kruger research, those bank robbers thought they were good because they robbed a few banks but they did such a poor job that it's laughable, this is you when it comes to music production, you think you're good just because you make some shitty music but you're never going to make it

>>106108921
Haha got you

>>106108949
oh yeah? define "making it"

>>106108946
see >>106108933
you're absolutely deranged and deluding yourself into thinking it's shit but if you knew anything about production you would be able to listen for the vocal compression and the synths etc

>>106108956
KILL YOURSELF RETARDED TROLL, TRULY UNHINGED LOSER

>>106108907
clairo is an industry plant

>reeeese
kek

>>106108988
and the boomer is saying it was terrible >>106108946 as if that justifies the boomer making some terribly produced slop but in his mind the songwriting is valid because his mom says so

>>106108989
you're objectively wrong, even the soulja boy example from 2007 was mixed with analog gear, you wouldn't get that level of success with your naive shit, justice had lots of hardware too

Can't wait for him to come back tomorrow and pretend the very core of everything he stands for wasn't proven to be completely wrong and retarded to the point of giving him a mental breakdown

>>106109036
not an argument, you haven't proven a single thing, you just say the production is bad as if that makes it equivalent to your naive digital shit? you're completely unhinged and delusional, take your meds schizo

this was said with regards to the boomer:
https://desuarchive.org/mu/thread/126066178/#126107248

he's truly sick in the head, a real psychopath

if you want to be successful in music, you still have to do something positive, pay money to producers and songwriters, and make some actually good music, you can't just be the most evil sick person like if you're a reddit/discord mod who gets into a taste of power in the real world, you would start to bully people and hurt people, but you can't do that with music, you're forever going to be a loser

>>106109015
>it was released on a label therefore it sounds good
Lmao

>>106109035
No one is mentioning those.
What about the examples linked above?

>>106109059
You can't deny that people can enjoy music that has bad production when the songwriting is good.
Those examples prove that it's possible, so your dumb absolutist position has been definitively proven wrong.

>>106108562
>>106108562
>>106108562
>>106108562
>>106108562

>>106109151
you're simply dumb as a brick, those examples were all made using hardware, very deliberate engineering even if (You) personally dislike it, they're not equivalent to your low effort digital slop at all

>>106109166
Not true lmao you can google them

Also
>they used hardware (any hardware, no matter which gear and how retardedly it was used) therefore it's good production abd people enjoy them because of it
Lmao

>>106109189
you're the troll, delusional idiot

the boomer anon is an actually dangerous schizo, a danger to himself and others, he's completely brainrotted and dead set on his delusions

>no u
Haha classic chuzo

>>106109233
you're truly a low-life, projecting like when you say i suck at extracting info and learning from things, it's quite the opposite, you're the one who's a complete blubbering idiot and you're failing to catch up with things that are common sense in pro audio

no one can hear the analog
big studios use it because they can afford it not because they need it
old engineers complained that tape wasn't a fully transparent, guess what we have now. we have higher quality stuff than they could ever dream of

>>106109272
a fully transparent medium*
same goes for vinyl

>>106109268
Coping and seething, as always

>>106109272
most AMATEURS can't hear it, but why would dr luke have such a boner for the chandler TG2 and why would everyone like max martin and benny blanco copy it instead of doing their own thing, maybe they can hear it? maybe *I* can hear when for example a taylor swift song cranks up the tube saturation to an even higher level than the rest of the song, and maybe most listeners can hear it on some subconscious level? because most ""songwriting experts"" don't think that taylor swift isn't doing very great with her songwriting

>>106109282
vinyl is not any better today than it was 50 years ago it still sounds like shit if you dont carefully mix and master for vinyl with all its limitations in mind and if you fuck up too bad it literally self destructs

>>106109305
>and if you fuck up too bad it literally self destructs
why has nobody done some audio terrorism by tampering files sent for mastering and disk cutting

>>106109287
you've complained numerous times about songs with hundreds of millions of streams and even billions of streams, you lack a basic sense of what sounds good, you're completely stuck and bottlenecked regardless of what you can do songwriting wise you're going to need to have someone else produce your songs because you suck lmao

>>106109340
it's pretty common to check shit well before pressing to make sure the low end is under control, at least that is what an engineer told me

>>106109340
lmao

self destructing vinyl doesnt explode like a bomb it just bounces the needle around until its scratched to death

>>106109349
Still can't deny what has definitely been proven today, so you resort to insults, as always.
We know you're trolling, this is pointless.

>>106109377
you've proven absolutely nothing except that you're delusional, some of your examples are patently absurd of mainstream bands which you can only have slight nitpicking about like metallica turning down the bass guitar

someone with talent would be able to learn both songwriting and production, people like max martin and benny blanco are also producers and not just songwriters, most anons can learn neither to an acceptable level, they're playing catchup trying to copy people who have already fell off like KOAN sound or autechre

>>106109399
Sorry you can't tell the difference listening through YouTube Music on your EQ'd Chinese earbuds lmao

>muh listeners
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3Nlb-m_vKYM
The masses have proven time and time again that they have no taste and no discernment. The real masterpieces of music have more of a cult following rather than a big mainstream presence.

>>106109425
you're truly delusional, i can only hope you don't hurt someone who doesn't deserve it
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbaoM5W25tw

what daw if i just want to be able to put some notes into software to help me learn the piano / learn to transcribe piano music that i hear?

music production is stereotypically full of delusional wannabes, guess what, you in fact are among those outsiders who totally suck, you're totally irredeemable

>>106109408
>KOAN sound
You mean the producers known for top tier production AND a studio full of analog gear?
https://musictech.com/features/interviews/koan-sound-led-by-an-ancient-light-studio/
They have everything you say is important for success, but their songwriting, while once appealing to a good number of people when the genre was popular, is now niche and people simply don't like it despite the perfect production and analog gear.

Proven wrong by your own post.

>>106109476
wagmi bro

>>106109426
Reminder that chuzo can't tell when a song is AI-generated, as proven a few threads ago when he angrily argued for how good it sounded LMAO

>>106109492
that's not their own studio fucking idiot, it's specific for whatever project the article is about

>>106109524
rent free, you were trolling me while i was busy with something else, the actual song was real it was just plagiarized by the AI, the techno beat or whatever is uninteresting but still sounded much better than the /prod/ vocaroos, i was having low expectations because of YOU idiots

>“One of the most exciting things about this project is that it felt like being a beginner producer again. We tried so many new things; literally everything about the process was new,” says Weeks. “It’s very freeing to reset to everything being new. Suddenly everything is possible.”
fucking faggotry i don't care about this shit, it's a strawman argument, the thing is that even your fucking soulja boy - crank that of which the beat was made on his computer, still was recorded professionally for his vocals, and mixed in analog, there's just no chance for a completely naive digital production to become top tier successful

>>106109539
It doesn't matter who owns it. They're clearly, in the photos, using it to produce their music.
Not that it makes a difference since you're a retard who can't even tell lmao

>>106109573
you're a deranged schizo, you do this mental gymnastics which isn't logically valid, of course there are lots of idiots such as espen kraft who own gear but don't know how to use it, the thing is that you don't know how to use your plugins, you don't know what type of analog sound to try to achieve with your plugins, you've failed before you even started

>>106109539
Hahaha pathetic excuses.
Everyone here could hear it instantly and wouldn't have fallen for it under those circumstances like you did.
Absolute clown

>>106109567
I can't believe there is somebody seriously typing this out

>>106109590
completely unhinged, none of this changes the fact that you've embarrassed numerous times even in this thread with your examples of supposedly total shit productions, when they are in fact not shit

>>106109585

Hahaha

>>106109591
>>106109602
look in the mirror, fucking asswipe, you're engaging with me because you know you're in the wrong but you can't bear to swallow your pride, you're complete shit and unable to make any music that doesn't sound like ass

>>106109670
Is this really how you spend your days?
Larping as a schizo online and watching streamer drama on youtube?

The records that made Skrillex famous were made strictly in the box, and they pretty much caused the electronic music boom of the 2010s.

>>106109700
you are either a schizo or profoundly retarded because it's baffling why someone would believe that they have what it takes to be a music producer when they can't hear anything about what's special about the top tier songs, you think you can get away with merely composing the notes and writing the lyrics and not do any special studio production and engineering, it's like there's a hole in your head like those dunning-kruger bank robbers who thought they could slather lemon juice on their faces to work as invisible ink instead of wearing a mask

>>106109725
that was seen as cringe even back then, there was a south park episode making fun of the fart noise music. it's 2025 now.

>>106109730
The lemon juice bank robbers thing is getting old, get some new lines

>>106109763
your crap is getting old too, you're repeating the same talking points over and over just denying the significance of the analog sound even though people clearly care about it if you pay any attention to music production tutorials and such, even if they use plugins they use various emulations of the 1176 etc

>>106109744
And yet it got extremely popular, and all its fans loved it, which is what matters (every genre is cringe to some third parties who don't like it).
Also, it was considered cringe because of the weird songwriting, not because it was digitally produced but otherwise fine lmao.

>digital music can't be popular
>here's an example of very popular digital music
>n-no that's cringe it doesn't count
How does it feel to constantly embarrass yourself.

>>106109782
>your crap
Say the N word or you're AI

>>106109801
your approach is to cherrypick a single example of a fad that pretty much died in 2010, and it's probably not known exactly what skrillex did, he might have used emulation plugins

Hardware-based audio systems inevitably introduce multiple noise floors. Residual signals stemming from the imperfections of analog circuitry. While technically artifacts, these noise layers are often perceived as pleasing, due in part to the brain's evolutionary acclimation to natural broadband noise sources like wind or rain. This low-level randomness serves as a familiar auditory backdrop, creating a sense of comfort or realism.

Some audio purists (those overly attached to analog coloration) romanticize this noise, mistaking it for warmth or authenticity. Their preference may reflect not superior auditory discernment, but rather a primitive neurological affinity for environmental noise. In effect, their enjoyment is less about fidelity and more about cognitive nostalgia, revealing an evolutionary bias masquerading as aesthetic judgment.

>>106109730
>>106109782
the lemon juice bank robbers thing is the lemon juice bank robbers of being a lemon juice bank robber, only severe dunning krueger would lemon juice bank rob the lemon juice bank robbers into a bank that has no lemon juice on its bank robbers, juicing their lemons

>>106109817
retard, in 2010 it was much more common to have crappy audio that had its own analog coloration so it wasn't strictly needed for the song to include it, and there was very little competition from other music, the mainstream music was mostly slop, there are many lesser known EDM fags who were a flash in the pan around that time

>>106109820
So you agree that it's possible to become successful with a fully digital production?

>he might have used emulation plugins
Oh, so now plugin emulations are good enough for worldwide success...

>>106109834
You can juice my lemons uwu

>>106109855
YEAH GOOD FUCKING LUCK WITH THAT BRO

you don't even have the slightest clue as to what do with emulations, you completely fail at everything

>>106109871
Haha gottem again

anons have wishful thinking that they can just download a piece of software on their laptop and their incredible genius talent will take care of the rest, LMAO

www.youtube.com/watch?v=72WxCSwBjl0

Can we please stop responding to garbage posts

schizos have wishful thinking that they can just buy a piece of hardware in their bedroom and their incredible genius circuitry will take care of everything, LMAO

>>106109891
with it being from 2004 with that sound design it was definitely made using hardware

>>106109880
It's incredibly ironic, you said songwriting is easy here >>106108417. Modern pop songs have teams of songwriters working on them. For all we know you probably aren't even making any music with your incomplete setup. You think all you need is the right gear and boom, millions of streams. Well don't blame us when your mary had a little lamb song doesn't get the success you think it deserved.

Now, I'm just gonna sit back and follow what >>106109902 said.

>>106109955
lol lmao >>106109956
skrillex supposedly had great songwriting which he was capable of doing himself. max martin and benny blanco etc are also producers and not just songwriters. you can't just read the list of songwriting credits without knowing what you're looking at.

>>106109902
okay boss i'm putting 9000% tariffs on chuzo MAKE /DMP/ GREAT AGAIN!!!

>>106109956
So you admit that you can be successful with fully digital music that was made in the box and sounds digital as fuck, as long as you then send the wav to a mastering engineer that uses hardware?

>>106110004
if you don't see the problem with your train of thought then you're absolutely fucked

>>106110017
You said a few threads ago that doing so wouldn't be enough for success, but now you're saying that Skrillex's song became popular despite being digital because it was mastered with analog gear.
You're contradicting yourself.

>>106109730
>it's baffling why someone would believe that they have what it takes to be a music producer when they can't hear anything about what's special about the top tier songs
But we can. It's skill, knowledge and a well trained ear (we'll ignore the big label shilling part which forces it down your throat with marketing and radio time whether it's good or not). As long as the gear used is not irredeemably shit, it doesn't really matter what you're using.

>>106110055
Now, let me be clear...

>>106110078
thanks obama

>>106110078
Ok sorry for mistaking you for him, but that lol lmao is him thinking your post is the gotcha I described above, agreeing with it and contradicting his old posts.

>>106110269
So you admit that you can be successful with fully digital music that was made in the box and sounds digital as fuck, as long as you then send the wav to a mastering engineer that uses hardware?

>>106110274
troll harder fucking retard, why don't you think for yourself and make your own music instead of seeking others approval

If "making it" sounds like that, I'd rather be absolute most "unsuccessful" producer of this era

>>106110301

>>106110274
so you admit that you need analog gear at some point in the chain even if you outsource the processing to a mastering engineer?

>>106110399
the metallica one is a bit of a meme, it's mainly bassists would self-insert and feel slighted that the bass isn't featured prominently. idk about the others

>>106110432
anon the problem isn't that the bass isn't prominent, the bass is literally inaudible on that record

>>106110415
No I'm not.
I'm merely following the (broken and contradictory) logic of your posts, which you don't make based on anything solid, but based on what allows you to bait people while avoiding any admission of being wrong, so one day's bullshit you don't actually believe in doesn't match another's.

What's funny is that I'm not even against analog. I see the advantages (as well as the disadvantages). I just don't think it's a strict requirement, and that both production and songwriting are important. Not just one of the two.

>>106110505
you have a sick and twisted mind

>>106110540
music for this feel?

>>106110540
The "no argument, only made up insults" thing will only ever be synonymous with coping and seething.

>>106110505
i mean tbf he did admit that soulja boy - crank dat is made digitally and mastered on analogue gear so i dont know what the contradiction is here. maybe i’m missing something.

>>106110649
you're completely delusional, you think you're in a position to judge if a production is complete shit, even when they were demonstrably successful AND used analog gear, you will never unravel your incredible cognitive biases, you truly fucking suck and you're just looking to troll me and put me down to feed your improperly over-inflated ego (delusional)

>>106110660
Him saying that is the same contradictory cope as the Skrillex thing ITT. They both contradict his post that said that making a song digitally and having it mastered with analog gear wouldn't cut it.

>>106110703
YOU don't remotely have skrillex's talent and even if you did, good luck with that crap in 2025, fucking idiot holy shit

>>106110690
>even when they were demonstrably successful AND used analog gear
In your mind this equals good production.
Hilarious.

if you have the money for a top mastering engineer you have the money for a hybrid studio but what you don't want to admit is that you lack the comptence to be able to choose what gear to have in your studio and how to use it, you don't hear the analog sound properly

>>106110711
So you admit that it's Skrillex's talent that made him successful, not the analog gear used in mastering.

>>106110734
it is YOUR talent that is completely gone, you never had it, you were born retarded, you will never make even a copy of 2010 skrillex let alone surpass him to 2025 standards

>>106110731
>you lack the comptence to be able to choose

>>106110745
Why are you talking about me now?
You can't argue your points without baseless ad hominems?

>>106110747
you've dismissed the merit of analog gear numerous times, hence why you want to produce fully digitally, you completely lack the comptence to judge various nuances hence you're willing to call top tier successful productions complete shit, as if you would be able to make equally good music as them

you're literally trolling while calling me a troll, you're reprehensible, if you believe that you're so smart and talented then go ahead and make your music and see for yourself how successful you'll become

the boomer is literally low IQ so he's decided that none of what i say makes sense, that professionals like max martin use analog gear because it sounds good, he's decided in his mind that i'm just a troll and he needs to rely on authority figures to spoonfeed information because he can't think for himself

See?
Every insult is a precise description of you and the bullshit you say.

I love making music
It's a fun hobby

>>106110951
you can't just bullshit your way into music success, although some artists aren't very likeable they generally have something that people like in their music, so i would feel very sorry for you for being too dumb to adopt common pro audio practices except that you're a vile piece of shit so you deserve to waste years and years on making shit music

>>106110959
literally every example of a top tier successful song got shot down, even from 2007-2010 when there was still some naive optimism about digital technology and the analog coloration of people's shitty logitech speakers and headphones etc, soulja boy - crank that was mixed in analog, skrillex - scary monsters and nice sprites was mastered in analog

>>106111000
So you admit that it's futile to buy analog gear when you can make a fully digital song and send it to an engineer that will mix/master it with analog gear?

>>106111035
you're literally such a stupid fuck. if you were self-sufficient you would see some of what the top guys are doing in 2025 which involves plenty of analog gear at the production stage.

you're such an entitled boomer manchild, like you think you can just vibes produce your music on your laptop and that'll be good enough to sustain a music career without grinding small live gigs like autechre

and then if your music made any money, would you reinvest into better gear or would you hoard your wealth like smaug?

anons are basically crippled they can't even hear most of the analog sound that's ubiquitous in mainstream music ESPECIALLY IN 2025 people have learned a lot about how it's done, it's been done since the beatles, the deliberate engineering of sound and not just coping with technical limitations like tech-optimist children tend to believe

even in the analog domain the manufacturers struggle with making good hardware clones because some components are discontinued due to being non-RoHS compliant etc and the exact specifications of certain transformers are proprietary

so fm synthesis is like, breeding oscillators?

I bought this guy for that authentic Supersaw sound. I'll get it in a few days and rack it up and play with it a bit. But I hear it's based. If it is, I'm going to buy up a few and hodl them. They also have a 303 emulator and some kind of real time MIDI controlled effects munging shit that I look forward to monkeying with.

the boomer is the one who's completely lost it, you are literal drooling retards thinking that the top artists aren't getting helped out by special studio technology, like how has that turned out for anons thus far, there are many anons who have been doing this for 10+ years, they're not complete beginners like you would have thought from the vocaroos

drake was an actor for a tv show and sneaked into the studio at night to practice, his entire thing is soulless and he's not good at singing or anything, it's the production that makes his music sound decent

chuzu do u like my theme suggestion

he sucked the right penis

>>106112266

Low-key genius because he rejects emulations but he won't be able to tell the difference

>>106112685
anons don't even use emulations properly, especially the boomer and snoychan because they don't know what type of sound they're aiming for, just a couple of threads ago snoy said he's happy with his fabfilter plugins. but you're kidding yourselves if you don't think that plugins aren't a compromise in quality and a professional song would generally have some amount of hardware (for tracking vocals at the very least) and the mixing/mastering is more common to involve analog gear than you might think, for example pic related is one of the major heavy metal mixing engineers

How can analog-anon cope with this? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ev3vENli7wQ&pp=0gcJCfwAo7VqN5tD Almost half a million views. All digital. Surely this is some “Mozart slop” as you say.

>>106113293
Inb4 “it’s not new so doesn’t apply. New AE only gets 10k views == le bad.”

If your waveform doesn't look like a brick you failed as a producer.

>>106113293
half a million views isn't a lot for a track that old. they've had more than a third of a century to build their brand. people don't even like the music that much, they see it as experimental novelty, they're appreciating the difficulty in programming it as like a tech demoo.

>Further to my recent comment about how there is a lot of humour in Autechre's music. There's no way the guys could have known how legendary Gantz Graf would become. It's the go-to track for Autechre pisstakes. It's incredible. An amazing piece of work. But I wonder if the guys ever though it would ever be revered and reviled so much, being an EP and all. It feels like they were saying "you want glitch? Here's yer glitch."

>This was made in an era (2002) where DAWs in studios were not even powerful as our current laptops (maybe just as powerful) So programming/sequencing a track like this was probably a night are, given that also software was kind of primitive or non-intuitive as what we have now. Autechre was always experimental, but this is another level of experimentation.

>that's some super annoying Aphex Twin. Lemme guess, this is one of his side projects.

just about any mainstream release gets a million+ views within days. even a couple of the songs from lorde's new album which was dogshit.

there's a quality distinction which you're oblivious to, which is mainly heard by the production/mixing/mastering, the songwriting doesn't need to be albert einstein tier but fucking dumbasses like you would attribute their success to the songwriting and spend years trying to do similar quality songwriting and then you would be butthurt that you can't get mainstream success despite trying your hardest at songwriting

>>106113664
aphex twin is orders of magnitude more successful than autechre, but you're trying to copy autechre and similar literal whos or people who were relevant in 2012 and not in 2025

see pic related for bjork, she had a metaphorical army behind her and you're a homeless person with a butter knife

>>106113676

Because YouTube views? Prove it.

>>106113697
Nah it's just true, not that anon but I doubt anybody would dispute it even them.

>>106113697
you're sealioning, a form of trolling and harassment. it's such basic self-evident stuff, aphex twin is rumored to charge up to a million for a single show whereas autechre does shows at local bars and libraries

>>106113715
you fail at trying to copy any of it, you have an unjustified dunning-kruger ego to think you can compare yourself to these artists and call their production shit etc as if you could do as good as them

>>106113735
N’Sync is better than Aphex Twin. Just admire the songwriting and production. You’re only lying to yourself if you think Aphex Twin is more successful than N’Sync.

I just sit down, start scrolling through presets in my totally-no-pirated vsts while wearing a pair of janky, yellow, nokia consumer-grade headphones from 2012 (picrel). I couldn't give two craps if a sound is a sampled moog or a serum patch or a randomly produced fart out of my ass as long as it sounds good to my ears, and lo and behold, with just a bit of tweaking of some random-ass effects thrown in, a lot of them do sound just fine.
The biggest problem seems to be finishing songs. Or producing songs "around" the guitar solos. Making something you truly like listening to.
Another problem is sifting through hours upon hours of recorded material to pick and arrange the best stuff you can come up with.
What you guys discuss here is some bunch of irrelevant bullshit about some ridiculous "quality" that only you can hear in a pair of $2000 headphones when you forget to take your fucking meds.

>>106113871
>I couldn't give two craps if a sound is a sampled moog or a serum patch or a randomly produced fart out of my ass as long as it sounds good to my ears, and lo and behold, with just a bit of tweaking of some random-ass effects thrown in, a lot of them do sound just fine.
By sampled moog you do mean you own an analog moog synthesizer and then recorded it to tape, right? By serum patch you mean it’s not just the VST but a fully fleshed out analog version, correct? Did you bounce that to tape as well? By fart did you mean the analog sphincter muscle and not a VST emulation? By random effects you mean analog moog filters and echoplexes, right?

>>106113916
Yes, of course.

>>106113871
you don't even need fancy equipment, normies will naturally gravitate toward the music that has the proper sound behind it, just that they might not be consciously aware of what exactly they're listening for, so they might mistakenly believe that it's almost all in the songwriting or the performance when it's actually extremely manufactured and deliberately engineered, juiced to the gills in terms of the technology behind the scenes

>>106113935
You know, you could've just said
>make sure to master your songs, bro

>>106114132
sure, be (or try to be) a music producer who shows no curiosity about the technical pro audio stuff, expecting engineers to wipe his ass for him, you actively reject technical knowledge, kicking and screaming that you don't need it, these are abnormal basic functions as an adult human being, no reputable label will want to work with you, you won't succeed as a solo artist either

>>106114154
Kek at this mouth-foaming retard so butthurt that someone can just sit down and write music. Do yourself a favor and admit it, your lack of talent can't be bought for a few thousand bucks and a week of staring at the manuals.
Bro, I can pick up my electric guitar right now, with its dead-as-fuck one-year-old strings, walk out the door, start playing unamplified in the middle of the street, and I will get bigger audience than you ever will with all your tech know how.
And when I make an album, I will just hire a dweeb like you for a few hundred bucks to master it for me. Thanks for reminding me to do it.

>>106114239
seethe, literally a pajeet could be just as talented to you and have access to all the same tools and learning materials as you, but very few people succeed relative to the number of failed musicians, your approach is shit-tier as the amount of competition is ever higher now with people getting into music production because of tiktok etc

I believe I agree with chuzo in the sense that in general, people have no idea about what they don't know. Most people believe they know but often it's just that: a belief.

Name one successful musician who cares about the dweeb shit you care about and attributes his success to it.

>>106114733
it's bog standard procedure for professional artists to work with producers etc, they just might not be fully aware of how much weight they are pulling relative to others, but the financial splits are significant, any good artist will aspire to work with the best producers that they can gain acccess to with a proven track record

>>106114804
Yeah but we were talking about the artist = producer scenario. Personally, the artist/producer split seems pretty insane to me unless you rap or are a otherwise a singer. What the fuck.

>>106115043
how about justice, they projected an image of being just some humble bedroom producers but they had plenty of gear compared to most wannabes

like they would be delusional and fade into obscurity like autechre if they were to give up their hardware 1176's etc

note
>authentic, unpolished sound
the clairo song has some lo-fi aspect which i called authentic lo-fi, it's still produced properly just that they either had some shitty gear or they intentionally went for a lo-fi sound just like how the music video is made to look like it's just some random bedroom kid but it's a proper song that's released by a label, the label is called father/daughter records but it's not clairo's father

like ronald jenkees, he was playing a character as if were an autistic savant or something, it's like smurfing in a video game, people might be more impressed if they think it's just clairo making the music all by herself in her bedroom

she was almost 19 in the video but she's larping like she's 13 or whatever

the AI is by far more useful than you lmao, you have insane mental gymnastics, you can't hold an honest conversation about music production, you fundamentally don't believe in the basic premise that commercial music is highly produced and that the production is where much of the value comes from, even "top tier" songs by the beatles and ABBA wouldn't have been top tier if they didn't have some of the strongest production of all time and not even just relative to other artists within their own time period

I've been making all my music with ChatGPT for the past year and all my friends have been commenting on how much my music has improved lately, and one of them even gave me head. Shit was cash ngl.

"it's just a hobby" isn't a valid excuse once you've been doing it for your entire adult/teenage life and haven't gotten past beginner level skill. a hobby is about the joy of learning, improving your skills and getting results. for example a woodworking hobbyist would make much higher quality pieces than what you can get from a furniture store, it just takes them longer time to complete a project than a professional. it wouldn't be acceptable for a non-retarded adult to nail pieces of plywood together with zero research and thought behind it, that's not a hobby. by not having talent and being incredibly slow to learn and unable to learn to make passable music, you're essentially mentally retarded, handicapped and an undesirable low-life at least as far as music goes.

I'm slowly getting used to his weird way of speaking, I still dislike it but his video are in-depth and straight to the point.

I need a DAW to make actual music and not just "sound design", so I'm considering good ol' Reaper, even if Bitwig's grid modular thingie looks very sexy.

Where's a good place to get live drum samples? Stuff that sounds good out of the box for 0 effort, to get thrown into a tracker?

any of yall got the preset packs for the Baby Audio BA-1

i'm happy to pay for vsts but not preset packs that cost the same as the vst itself

>>106140034

The sound of that album was shocking when it came out but permanently changed drum production in metal.
