Did you know you can use a fucking ghetto ass electromagnet as In a fucking bolt and a wire as a mega swag saturator? Just grab a bolt, loop it in wire, and run your signal through it. Poof, swag

Why does Ableton have such a clusterfuck GUI. It's basically unusable on a laptop and feels like 1000 things bolted on, hold together by duct tape.

>>106858842
don't know what you're on, the majority of the userbase is on macbooks lol

whats best way to fix choppy sound of pipewire-jack in renoise?
On debian wiki they suggest changing the quantum value, whatever that means:
pw-metadata -n settings 0 clock.force-quantum 2048
https://wiki.debian.org/PipeWire#choppy_audio_on_systems_with_high_load
Is there a way i can revert the change incase it fucks it up even more and end up sounding worse?

>>106858842
Not a fan of ableton, but when i was on windows i made a few songs on it when i was trying to decide which daw was right for me. Though this was around 2014, but i doubt the gui has changed that much, from what i remember i thought it was pretty clean and making a song was a straightforward process. I eventually settled on fl studio, which imoo is more of a clusterfuck gui, but to me it looked so pretty and felt very intuitive + all the vsts and synths they give you are top notch to me.
Have you tried reaper?

Anyone know how to set the volume above 50 DBs??? Yes I know it will blow my ears out. Im using FL studio 7 and\nThe meters I'm using, don't even rise when I raise the volume. Like wtf I dont have wavecandy FUUu. Im trying to find a meter that will tell me the DB and none of them are telling me . Span is being usless.... when I go above 50db it should tell me the readings easily ...What am I doing wrong....

Is ACE-Step still the best local ai music thing?

Lol nm I awnsered my own question regarding setting the volume above 50dbs

>>106867946
I think so. It's awful tho.

I've recovered a bunch of songs that I made about 20 years ago. I'll probably submit one of those.

>>106878650
reaper is the nerd daw afaik
if you are technically inclined you can customize it more with scripts and code
never used it myself
abletoniggers rise up

Can one sell music made with FL studio free plugins? If so, how?

The same way you sell any music.
The plugins you use don't make any difference when it comes to that, unless you pirated that software, in which case you just need to avoid telling the internet which software you used.

just spent three and a half hours trying to make a good synth sound. I came close, but I guess I got tired, screwed up somewhere and had to start from scratch. In the end I could not produce anything usable. I know the basics, I know what most of the knobs do, I cannot for the life of me make a good sound. Help!

>>106879671

>>106879329
And how do you sell any music on the internet?
I've heard the RPG Maker guys hire almost anyone but other than that...

>>106882221
I don't really know about that side of the business. You could try seeing what industry professionals have said about it on social media (includes YouTube and TikTok), talks at videogame conferences, interviews, etc.
Obviously the universal tip of sending them a message or finding them on forums and whatnot is always valid.
Having some kind of portfolio to showcase your work is also a no-brainer.
But something tells me you're a beginner, so you might want to get some skills and experience before trying to make money.
Maybe try posting on >>>/vg/agdg and see if anyone's interested.
Game devs often have events where they make little games in a certain amount of time and/or with a theme. Perhaps you can offer to make them a free soundtrack or something.

>>106878650
as good as anything else, there's no escape from learning curve and pilot hours

I dunno about customizing it, but it seems pretty alright so far. Like it better than Ardour anyway. Which I guess is the other main choice on Linux. Bitwig looks interesting but their pricing seems jewish. Don't know anything about the other options (LMMS, Carla or whatever, QTractor, which manages to look like shit despite being "native" since I use KDE, it's also frozen up and crashed within minutes pretty much every time I've tried it despite just fucking around not even doing anything real)

Also I mostly just wanted to bump the thread lol.

right

Dead thread...
Anyway. I've been trying to decipher the ultimate hmv/pmv sound for music.
Phonk has clearly on top recently, with house/edm and trap/hip hop being roughly tied for 2nd overall (though, edm/house was number 1 for a long time)
BUT I've been trying to decipher what inherently makes these genres appealing both for general listening and for pornographic purposes.
I made 19 house songs and uploaded one a week to youtube whilst presenting them as songs for use in hmvs/pmvs
Of the 19, these 4 songs got over 1k views on youtube in 4-8 months
https://voca.ro/13fDq6tolF0H
https://voca.ro/1gwQFNXd2KIg
https://voca.ro/15tDTELezuNF
https://voca.ro/1fAhoQzR4xOD
I developed a hypothesis that "rough" or "coarse" sounds seem to have a more positive response, and the results somewhat support this.
Out of 19 house songs produced, 5 had "rough" or "coarse" lead/main/well pronounced instruments, and 3 of those 5 got over 1k views.
However, if you notice, one of the songs linked doesn't have this, and that is the most popular at 2.7k views.
I also hypothesized at first that "bass-heavy" music, regardless of musical texture was what was more appealing, but out of 4 "bass-heavy" tracks, only 1 got over 1k views, which is the most popular track.
I wonder if 'le heckin youtube algorithm' impacted the results, considering the lowest viewed song with that "rough" sound is at 148 views and was uploaded 4 months ago, and the lowest viewed "bass-heavy" song is at 293 views and was uploaded 7 months ago.
The other 10 songs mainly focused on composition, seeing if note/key choices but lack of focus on being "bass-heavy" or "rough" or "coarse" textures as main elements in the songs impacted its popularity. The highest view count one of these tracks got was 912 in 5 months, and the lowest being 242 in 8 months.
I know it's retarded and autistic to care about this but it's interesting to me. Wonder if anyone else is mildly curious about this too.

>>106890305
Why do you make porn music?

Anyway, the reason why House, EDM and Phonk are popular with the general public is because they have obnoxious vocal hooks. That's it.

>>106890305
need a bigger sample size GCM, make more music

got ardour, never done any /dmp/ before, best tutorial to get stated on ardour? planning to make music from recordings and instruments in the software, which im guessing there are, other than synth

>porn music
That's trip-hop/downtempo

>>106890819
>>106892147
yeah it's usually downtempo-ish like this
https://vocaroo.com/1sx2yvidxtJr

that there is just failed phonk garbage

>>106890305
The third song is very catchy

>>106891130
I took a break... plus I'm testing out dnb right now.
>>106890819
>Why do you make porn music?
Why not? And it makes sense for the general public sure, but I'd say a lot of pmv/hmv music is more repetitive than anything. I think of Bass Slut
>>106892147
>>106892239
Thats porn music, certainly, but pmvs/hmvs are not the same as just porn. Also, I tried making a phonk song but I kinda just don't get it. I don't really hear the phonk myself. Are there other sounds or elements that could re-house my house music?
>>106892560
Thank yiu

start

Any iFaggots here ever make a mobile app using MobMuPlat and puredata?

Seems pretty neat

>>106892147
>>106892239
anons think they know better than the gooning expert...

>>106894070
this is cool, ill give it a spin sometimes today

>>106888543
one of my friends in a metal band uses ardour and it all seems to work fine. i don't think there are bad daws anymore, just lazy people.

>>106894070
Speaking of pure data.

I use linux with a bare WM, and each time I switch between virtual workspaces, Plugdata main view doesn't refresh until I hover or click on one of the element, which sucks a bit.

I suppose it's related to this: https://melatonin.dev/blog/dealing-with-jank-in-juce/

I'll be interested to know if perchance you have a fix for this.

did it work?

>>106894070
got it working, easy too, try it!

Yo tourist here, just got relayed from /pmpg/ so I hope this question isnt too off topic.

Need advice for soundbar.
>Budget
300€ (EU based)
>Intended use (media, source, environment)
Home speakers for TV. Want a more immersive soundscape for all the nerd music I listen to, especially when consuming consiousness elixirs. Bass should be decent. But also for everyday use, like watching series.
>Frequency response preference and music examples
idk about frequency
Genres are Techno/Trance, ProgRock, Power Metal and Stoner Metal.

Piracy, It's a crime!

>>106901480
fucking why lol you could get recs here for studio monitors but thats special purpose and twice as expensive or worse

an eq, a transient shaper, and an oscilloscope is all you need to craft the perfect kick. prove me wrong

>>106902487
What about backing up your statement with proof? Let us hear that 'perfect' kick.

>>106902569
uh, i did have a tube on it with a 50% mix that i didn't notice, but thats it i swear.

I have too many pirated plugins to switch to 11 from 10, dammit.

I hope they get sued by a thousand companies and force support.

I haven't been in these threads or making music in awhile but I'm back. I like the album theme and will be working on my submission. Lets go
