Been a while.

https://vocaroo.com/1bTUM9R9wPHE

The bass on this is overwhelming, I thought I'd mix it away, but it's mostly just inherent in the sound. The solution would be to make a new bass instrument, but...it's already rendered and I won't be doing anything with this song, so I'll leave it until I feel like I need to change it.

Anyway, I still think this one's fun. Lots of call and response.

you can bring the acoustic guitar up by boosting 800-1000 range(and 2-4khz) and trimming low end. or reduce any element that competes with guitar. also the highs are harsh.

yeah fair point regarding the highs.

>https://vocaroo.com/1LgnQ1N6C8up
bass that comes in at 0:45 feels very vanilla, you should add some subtle effect on a slow LFO (maybe just a light resonant peak that you move across the low-mid freqs or something). sounds much better once the filter opens up and the stereo width of the highs comes in.
feels like the entire track is building up for a counter melody that never comes which is leaving me feeling a little blue-balled.
not a big fan of the final section when the drums come in, just lacks personality a bit compared to everything before it.
cool track though - lot lot lot of potential.

Any pros able to tell me how Ash Ra Tempel made this song?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXkp9P3xnNU
I can hear the guitar, the bass, so likely looping pedals, but what about literally everything else? I read that Klaus Schulze used an EMS Synthi A, but I've looked up recordings made by Synthi As. They don't sound nearly as dreamlike as this song. What else could be happening here?

are you already familiar with the effects of the time?
the only noteworthy thing i'm hearing here that isn't common knowledge is that shephard-barberpole phaser sound (just by virtue of that being more of a rock/slush thing).
just go for stereotypical old spacial effects, do the tape thing and avoid any reverbs mimicking the famous digital sounds.

>shephard-barberpole phaser sound
Considering that sounds like this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8O-9wXZI14
I'm assuming a lot of playing with the frequencies to get that spectral, dreamy sound was done?
>just go for stereotypical old spacial effects, do the tape thing and avoid any reverbs mimicking the famous digital sounds.
Tape thing? And what old effects? I must admit I only began to use Live 12 recently, but I've become enamored with this song.

it has come to my attention that there is now a category of producer-streamer-influencer types who make incredibly mediocre music but for some reason are popular and have followings.
is this because they speak confidently about things they know very little about and pretend like they're providing wisdom?

>Considering that sounds like this:
toss it on any track and you'll see that it's the exact sound on the left synth.
basically the only thing that needs fiddling with is the rate of that effect and the tone- it's not a lot honestly.
you can be obvious with it, it's cool, but you may want to try it nice and slower in your reverb chain for that "morphing" sound.

>tape thing
consider that they were recording to tape (varying amounts of distortion likely introduced over time, as well as a "noise floor"), and tape delays.

in live, your main tools for this will be saturator ("analog clip"), echo, and hybrid reverb.
in echo under the character section you'll have the wobble section- morph at minimum is equivalent to tape wow (a slow pitch drift), and maximum is tape flutter (very fast drift).

the faithful hybrid reverb algorithms you'll be looking at for that time will be under plate, chamber, and spring (though that is a specific sound that i don't really hear here).
all of the other reverbs there may get you a similarly spacey sound, but they don't aim to imitate what was used at that time.

if you google "eno/lanois reverb" you'll learn about the shimmer sound, which afaiik wasn't actually a thing until some years after this would have been made, but it a useful technique to be familiar with and you should learn the history of this stuff to better understand how these sounds were arrived at.
-hybrid reverb has a shimmer algorithm and a "tides" algorithm which you may find helpful, but again, it's not "faithful" if you care about that sort of thing.

airwindows consolidated is also an option but i've already yapped too much and i need to re focus

like 65 gigs but it's all on the stick. which is why it took like 2h to install.
also, the stick is stupid and there's like a 99% change you'll have to use an extension cable to connect it because it'll get blocked by something else plugged into your pc.

honestly one of the reasons I ended up buying Omnisphere was because I didn't care to bother with the 7 step installation of the cracked one again after getting a new pc, but turns out the legit version is just as annoying to install. there's even a Step 1 installer and Step 2 installer like in the crack lmao.
Anyway, but the other reason was that Omnisphere was improperly cracked and would eventually stop producing sound and I didn't wanna deal with that.

Thank you.
How do you use it?
I had it for a few months thinking it would cover my bases for a wide variety of instruments and sounds, but I found that it had a ton on "cool" and interesting patches, and not much of what I wanted it for, so I went back to Korg and Roland plugins (very digital and "dated" sound but I mostly use them for placeholder and the variety is unbeatable) + Kontakt and SWAM for key instruments.

what are you implying, that only forgettable and boring background music can be made with it? just so you know, omnisphere contains all of Spectrasonics old sample cd libraries among other things that have probably defined the sounds of your childhood. same with romplers like the D50 that defined and entire era of music (for which the sound design was also spearheaded by Eric Persing btw.)
bad musicians will make bad music. good musicians will make good music. Omnisphere isn't the decisive factor, it's just a tool. I promise you that Omnisphere was used in at least one of your favourite pieces of music, whether it's from popular music, experimental music (opn used like 80% omnisphere for returnal and 100% for r plus 7), a film soundtrack or a game soundtrack. it's immensely flexible and just because shitty musicians also use it doesn't mean it makes you make lame music.

Others may be able to use omnisphere to make great music, but you will only make bland, uninspired junk if you're having to ask such inane questions instead of experimenting with it yourself.

I just found out this is a thing in FL so I've gotta ask. When double tracking guitars, should I set 'stereo separation' to '100% separated' in the Master or do I just ignore this option?

Each take is already panned hard left and hard right and it sounds pretty wide to me, but can we, and should we, go even WIDER?

i don't use fl but:
>NOTE: This control has no stereo effect on mono sounds as it works by processing the difference between the L and R channels, if there is no difference then there is no stereo to enhance.
so you'd have to bus your l/r guitars before 'enhancing' the separation. it sounds like it just turns the mid down and leaves the sides at 100%.
depending how close the guitars are, this might actually not do very much. your hard panning is probably fine on its own.

2. hit randomise on 303 until it sound good
3. play with filter cutoff and resonance
4. 909 hihat unce tish unce tish and so and so forth
5. use digitone to add some pady chords that change every 4 or 8 bars
6. ride cymbal to really get it going
7. maybe add a snare and do some delay shenanigans

Thanks my guy. For these standalone songs I just let it take me. I often worry about them being too cramped, but I just go for it anyway. For the most part, it's just cool thing -> transition, repeat.

>>127346143
The intro is a fine idea, and the filter opening sounds nice, but it meanders. Define a melodic throughline and develop it through that section. Drums and bass coming in gets me. I have a handful of melodic ideas that pop into my head, there, and that's really inspiring.

Reworking the intro and continuing on could make this a good song.

>>127348611
-No bass, which would elevate this a lot. Not sure if that's stylistic or not.
-Guitar is lost in the mix, bring it up a lot. It competes with the vox for lead, but the melodies are distinct enough that they wouldn't compete much.
-Compositionally, there are lots of melodic elements but the melody is still vague. Defining a key center and finding some resolving melodies will resolve this. Though this is not always available with sampled music, consider introducing other melodic elements to compensate.

>>127347943
Fine as a blueprint.
-Intro repeats one time too many.
-Mix is messy; rhythm section needs a boost, strings/pads down.

>>127350991
I like the atmosphere here, and it could build into something nice. Add some variation in the melody that's introduced first. Some repetition is fine, but it should lead to a resolution rather than an endless loop.

Rhythm is too quiet, but likely raising the softer bass sound will sound muddy. Consider a bass instrument with a little more definition in the high range, and be careful with the low-mid freqs.

Thanks for the solid feedback. No bass guitar isn't stylistic, just haven't been able to write anything I like there yet.
Guitar has been a headache for me, I actually don't like how present it is in the mix for the first 55 seconds - spent a long time trying to process it to take away some of the "focus" it draws in.
Definitely agree re: the vague overarching melody.

Another, this time a small loop. Messed around with Vital. Makes me think of a forest level in a game or something.

>>127357074
Not familiar with the genre, so not much to compare it to, but I like it overall. It's repetitive near the end and needs another movement.

>>127357258
Sound design is good, ruined by the mix:
-Ducking on the kick is too intense, it's disorienting.
-Hats too prominent
It's particularly rambly near the end, but I can't really tell for sure because I can't focus on anything other than percussion.

thanks man, the drums are in a bit of a weird spot because the amen break came "sausaged", so they feel too fat when loud or just weird if too quiet.
especially noticeable when compared to the final section's drums

instead of reducing the tail, you boost the transient so that by comparison/perspective, the tail feels weaker?
I've played around with some gating on the drums which definitely helped them sound better, and had a transient shaper (ST4B) on them earlier but maybe I need to play around a bit more
ive been tempted to just go autist and use automation clips to shape everything as really I just want the drums to feel less "round" (kick and snare in particular)

To be honest that sounds like a cop-out answer, and to me indicates you haven't thought about it enough.

You will have fragmented knowledge of production - barely anyone is an expert at all the pillars of music production, but thats not stopping anyone from making music.

What don't you like about your tracks? Not interesting enough compositionally? Not interesting enough sonically? Production is weak and your tracks sound muddy? Tracks sound great but your ideas have no staying power?

common when noobs learn about the haas effect: yes.
it is extremely poor practice though.

if you're lazy adt is a much better option but you should really just double track if you care about sounding good.
