How do I make these better?

Is Reaper still viable?

>>128219589
>How do I make these better?
be someone who knows what the fuck they are doing.

Hi I want to start sampling in my songs but have questions about the legality of it that I can’t find clear answers to.
I’ve (regrettably) started listening to a tranny breakcore artist and he samples in lots of his songs. He has all of his albums on Bandcamp and only some on Spotify. In one of his older albums not on Spotify he samples from lots of huge artists (Nicki Minaj, the band Chicago, It Wasn’t Me by Shaggy, Missy Elliot etc). Assuming it’s not a personal decision because it’s an older album I take it this probably wouldn’t be allowed on Spotify because he hasn’t gotten permission to use the samples and they aren’t royalty free like the Amen Break? I haven’t listened to his newer stuff but despite that I think it still samples popular songs and artists. It definitely samples from indie and smaller artists, is that allowed or do you think he probably got permission? Is sampling anything and publishing without permission allowed on Bandcamp? What can I put up on Spotify when I get around to publishing my songs?

Does /prod/ have any recs for digital pianos?
I want a new portable digital. Willing to spend upwards of ~$2000 on something premium. Must have built-in speakers and a good keybed; will mainly be used for practice, but also public performances from time to time. I have a few ones I'm considering but want to know if anons have any opinions.

When I record a clip using FL studio and my guitar (through a Focusrite Scarlett), usually this noise comes up at the end of the the clip, even when I'm absolutely not playing. Like something cutting off?
How can I avoid this?

>>128222444
The Amen break isn't royalty free. They just won't sue you for using it (probably).

>>128222461
I got a Kawai CA65 maybe a decade ago now and I like it more than my upright acoustic. It's probably too bulky to be something that you would constantly be moving, like if you needed to take it to a venue for a performance -- if that's a big desire, you'll want to focus on stage pianos.
I'd recommend going to a store and playing a bunch of different brands firsthand to see what you like the most.

>I'd recommend going to a store and playing a bunch of different brands firsthand to see what you like the most.
I wish I could, but no music stores in my area have more than 3 pianos to try. Although a music chain near me is opening a piano showroom "soon" so I'm hoping they'll have enough on the digital side so I can try each kind of action to decide what I prefer.
I'm not classically trained, I've been a (self-taught) pianist for a long time and now I want to take it more seriously.

Man I got a good jam going but I need to figure out the cheese (breakdown).

>>128223721
So many people use it, they could sue him, there’s sample sue trolls now, penis theory did a good video about it. Basically, you can’t use loops on sample packs ‘cause someone will get you kicked off the streaming places at the least.

>>128223625
What does it sound like? I'm also going through the pain of figuring out recording guitar in FL with a Scarlett, and the only advice I could offer is make sure you are recording a clean DI (no effects, amp Sims etc. active on the mixer channel), be recording through input 2 and set your input levels/gain staging correctly.

>>128225987

I can't listen to it for long without laughing at the hihats that sound like image related, especially during the drum fills cos it sounds like the typist is pausing for breath, those are the best parts

>>128216656

>make sure you are recording a clean DI (no effects, amp Sims etc. active on the mixer channel), be recording through input 2 and set your input levels/gain staging correctly
Thanks, anon. Unfortunately, I'm already recording pre-processing with the right input and gain. Surprisingly, it only makes that noise at the very last moment of recording clips; everything works perfectly otherwise.

>>128225987
Low end has a lot of sustain on the kick. Makes it overbearing after a while. Also yeah the hihats are a bit abrasive.

This might be out of place here, but I haven't found a "sound designer thread" so I'll just ask here, but where do sound effects designers hang out at? Where could I lurk to find one to commission for a project?

>>128229473
I think only the pro version can do that

>>128229855
That doesn't sound like clean DI, though? Does this happen if you just record into a blank mixer channel as well? Start a new project with an empty template so you know there's nothing in it to interfere and just record the clean DI quickly into a random mixer channel. If you still have the problem, it's potentially an issue with your focusrite or the guitar itself. If not, it could be something in your project. Helps you narrow it down slightly at the very least.

In the context of rock music, here's some things I learned. I produce music alone for my own satisfaction. I'll lurk and answer any questions.

>>128230593
What's your recording order?
Mine is (programming) drums -> rythm guitar -> bass -> lead guitar (a treat for the end of a project)

>>128216656
DAWs are a tool anon, and fun is what you make of it.

>>128230645

>>128219589
>how do I make these better?
Start by asking yourself more specific questions. "Better" is somewhat subjective. What do you like about these? What do you dislike? How do these feelings compare to your feelings on music that inspires you? I think your best bet is to listen to more music with the intention of understanding why you like it.. and then make music that emulates that, until you start to get a feel for it all. Right now, these just don't sound very put together

>>128229855
Are you sure you're not just.. touching something when you go to stop the recording?

>>128231068
Haha, no. The recording automatically stops. Doesn't matter if I'm muting all the strings when the recording stops or not touching my guitar at all.

>>128230904
Sounds great, anon. I really enjoy the mix, it's not super loud and the instruments are all very well defined and have their moments.
What settings are you using for the bass?

>>128231297
Thank you. The bass is simply Direct Input from P/J pickups with all the bass's knobs maxed out and good gain staging. Read my graph paper notes, it's all about getting the tones at the very beginning so you don't have to "Fix" anything significant later on. All I did so far was adjust levels, it's not really mixed yet.

>>128231354
No amp simp or anything?
Good job on getting those tones, then. I'm not good with this and every instrument simply sounds too loud.

>>128231519
The guitars are going through Neural Amp Modeler so yes those are simulated. I adjusted those (rhythm and lead) for about 2 hours total and saved 12 or so "settings" I liked. One fake Peavey amp and one fake Mesa amp. I enjoy playing guitar way more than tinkering.
Once your """""amp""""" sounds good enough, hit record and your playing will do the rest.

>>128231606
My question was poorly worded: no amp sim for the bass, just direct input?

>>128231626
Yes. Pic related. Then the gain is staged for no clipping. Simple as

>>128231626
>>128231297
It's normal to record bass as a DI and just use a bit of compression/EQ as the only processing. You really don't need much harmonics from the bass if the guitars are filling out the midrange.

>>128231657
Thanks, anon. This should be helpful because I always get frustrated trying to get a good sounding bass (hint: it always fail). Maybe I'm relying too much on computer.

I was hoping to find some amateur at the beginning of his journey who didn't get on big projects yet, as a sort of shared opportunity to grow together. I'd feel better giving money to some 4channer than some random AAA guy. I found an artist on here that way at least, but I guess it's not gonna be as straightforward for sound effects since nobody does that as a hobby, and it's either full-time pros in the industry or people improvising out of necessity. It was dumb to ask now that I think about it, yeah.

>>128233340
There are definitely sound designers here, but the chances of finding one that you’d want to work with just by posting randomly are pretty slim.
I hear there’s a general for devs here already- I would ask them to point you to whatever forums are popular.
I’m dimly aware that such places exist specific to engines that people use but that’s not really my area.

Whats dynamic bpm? Care to ellaborate?
Good list, thanks for sharing!


Lets get the feedback loop alive

https://vocaroo.com/1hApgnNhMn7t

>>128236710
Dynamic BPM is when the DAW will let you change tempo during the song
This >>128230904 has a range of 178 bpm in verses and goes up to, I forget exactly, but I think 186 bpm in the fastest chorus. Speed adds energy. Pic unrelated

Need that feedback:

https://voca.ro/1lIrXOcsICQ1

Help me improve my mastering workflow for an album, specifically the part where I get everything up to the proper loudness with the proper headroom. Right now I am wasting a lot of time. At this point my mix is already good so I want to do things with a minimal impact on the sound.

Right now its:
>meter song's loudness (in real-time since I have a free loudness meter)
>loudness too low / true peaks too high, so I turn down a limiter by a dB or so or adjust compression
>export track (takes a few minutes)
>meter again (again in realtime)
>didn't meet target, so repeat until good (3-5 times per song)


I am using FL and dpMeter, I am open to changing my meter if there's a better free one. I know Youlean Loudness Meter's pro version can go faster than real-time, but it needs a file for that so there is still the export stage. I could try to cut the export stage and meter directly in the song's project file, but I have found sometimes the loudness in the DAW and after exporting does not match and I don't know why.

If you have a better workflow, tell me, what do you do?

>>128239224
this should go without saying, but you’re working on the exported track and not on anything that’s un-bounced and prone to variability, right?

personally i consider anything that’s too quiet or anything to do with peaks to be part of the mixing stage.
anything beyond adjusting absolute final loudness via gain (saturation/limiter- no automation) and very minimal eq to bring everting slightly more in line wouldn’t be mastering

>>128239444
>this should go without saying, but you’re working on the exported track and not on anything that’s un-bounced and prone to variability, right?
I am but only because I noticed a discrepancy sometimes, I wasn't aware the sound could vary much.

>>128239444
>anything beyond adjusting absolute final loudness via gain (saturation/limiter- no automation) and very minimal eq to bring everting slightly more in line wouldn’t be mastering
That's pretty much what I am doing at this stage, just include adjusting master compression somewhat as well. I am dealing with small discrepancies at this point and making small changes, something like a track being 0.8 LU too quiet while having true peaks 0.6 dB above target. All stuff that could be handled in the final limiter. I think I could maybe improve things by removing the final limiter in the DAW, export, and do all the limiting as a separate stage? It would cut down on repeated exports.

>>128239630
i mean yeah if that’s what you’re doing just bounce out and do every little gain tweak manually.
i just do it within the audio clip and fade ableton.
no automation lanes or anything like that.

I want to make a song but I have no idea how to mix it seems so scary, does anyone have advice on how to eq/mix this intro I watched a bunch of tutorials but none of them really helped
https://voca.ro/1kKnXcsaLHnb

>>128243223
I'm not sure what you want out of it, but so far it seems acceptable enough to cary on. My advice would be to finish an idea first before properly mixing it. It's always tempting to get caught up trying to nail the final sound first so you can record the other parts with that peace of mind of everything sounding 'good', but I feel it's more important to record more fleshed out (or complete, ideally) ideas, so you can mix within the context of the full track. I'm fairly new as well, but this is something I have learned the hard way and still struggle to do at the moment, but I feel like it helps my worklflow to get as many parts down first before getting overwhelmed with mixing the first 20 seconds or something. This includes getting down some basic drums and bass (and whatever else you want) down as quick as possible to mix a well, even if they are just basic and placeholder, you can go back and finalise them later once the idea starts taking more shape.

TLDR; sounds fine, make a song first.

>>128232820
The kick itself sounds horrible, no punch and the clicky high end makes my ears bleed. The rumble part you got right, I think, but the kick sucks.

At first it was more a private joke but I'm glad it was also useful.

I didn't like the idea of signing up for some guys pateron for drum transcripts, nor did I want to fill out worksheets like a 10 year old so I started building this transcription app. It's kind of morphing into a full sample / drum machine and sequencer - is there any reason I should release this publicly? It's really just for me to get ideas out, but I keep adding features - but I'm sure there exists something already that does this?

This is really impressive work but I guess it's reinventing the wheel to some extent? I empathise with the desire to make your own bespoke tools though, I fall down that rabbit hole myself although not nearly on your level. Trying to stop myself from doing that honestly as I'd rather just make music.

>>128251170
What did you use to make this? (languages, frameworks, etc)
How long did it take you to get this far?
Are you a programmer or software engineer by trade?

>>128248183
If it were me releasing this I would be doubling down on your original idea of a drum transcription tool and removing anything extraneous to that. You could probably sell something like that, especially if it also supported drum notation and could easily deal with variable BPMs. Impressive work though and nice interface.

>>128232820
Are you working with samples? I would suggest to use a dedicated kick synthesizer, Geonkick is free and got some decent tutorials on it. Using effects on top on a shitty sample won't get you any good results, fast at least.

Yes. Right now it's a 909 kit but it has the option of loading your own samples. For the dedicated synth - if that's something feasible I may go down that route as well.
Just finished adding templates. Currently adding the feature to select specific bars of the reference song and put them in banks that you can use individually, or in sequence (to practice specific parts).

Yeah crazy work man, don't listen to my BS about reinventing the wheel you clearly know what you're doing

like 6 months ago i picked a handful of sample packs and combed through like 4000 samples to bookmark effects i might use from them and i still haven't used a single one

here is your mixing cheatsheet

i came across a straightforward before/after demo of an obscure piece of gear, got bricked up instantly with intense goosebumps and i have to wait for many minutes to get a clean "reset" so i can listen to it again as accurately as possible
you people are absolutely beyond fucked, you have no natural talent, especially the boomer doesn't even believe in these subtleties of analog gear, other anons have called it placebo snake oil even though professionals use a lot of gear as bog standard tools, it's not even up for debate, you're delusional

>>128222444
There's a few answers.
The practical answer: if you're a nobody, regardless of what you sample, it's highly unlikely you'll ever face any legal action. Of course, sampling some artists will be riskier than others (I wouldn't personally recommend messing with anyone who's known to be litigious), but there's a good chance you'll never get caught. This is likely the method that any indie artist who samples frequently is using.

The answer that requires some effort: As long as you can make the sample nigh unrecognizable, there's very little chance you'll get dinged for it, even if the song gathers attention. Of course, there have been times when this has failed (I don't remember the exact song, but I remember there was a time when an artist had to take a song down because one of those song recreators managed to find the exact sample from a distorted clip), but generally speaking, you're legally a bit safer here.

The by-the-books answer: The safest, most legal way to use samples in your music is by legally acquiring the right to use the original song within your work. This involves contacting the rights owner for the song and negotiating a deal which will likely require a sum of money not feasible for any indie musician to pay for the caliber of bands you've listed in your post. Essentially, unless you get super lucky, it's impossible without some sort of corporate backing. That being said, if you want to sample a song from a smaller indie artist, you might find some luck if you contact them personally.

>>128251170
Added markers, and then the ability to save those segments as loops. Also added the first pass at pdf transcription - I'll make it look better over time.

if Massive X had aux in or an FX version i would be soooo happy

>>128252032
Not sure if this is useful to you for inspiration or whatever, but in Ableton the forkflow I'd use for transcribing drums would be:
>warp sample
>place markers where the drum hits I want are
>slice to new midi
>drag "duplicated" hits of the same drum down to one note per hit
>copy-paste notes of hits that got merged into one because they happen simultaneously
>quantize (optional)
It's pretty easy, fast, and it leaves you with a midi clip that has all the fine timings that you can then use for anything you want.
If you're analyzing a song whose instrumentation makes the drum transient detection difficult, you can use a stem splitter first (the upcoming version has one included).

this one got sent off to some abstract percussionists last night, they might suck idk:
https://vocaroo.com/1kuRt4j4sr6o

they’re gonna take like 2 weeks so i figured i’d work on some new demos in the meantime:

https://vocaroo.com/1iD4vCvNAuKO
^this one’s fully written but i’m so lazy to do a multitrack demo for it cos i’m like “why guitar?”
like, i only ever write with it cos it’s a midrange element that i’m good at playing, but if you mix/master this song modern/loud, that guitar part is going to be so fatiguing, and FOR WHAT PURPOSE? because it’s easy for me to play at our non-existent live shows?

https://vocaroo.com/1korAxSJ7yOa
^with that said, i experimented tonight with that same song on an omnichord emulation. i’ve always kinda wanted one because our music sounds so much like adventure time, but… idk, people tend to think we sound overproduced if our music doesn’t have 100% analog elements (UGH)
*IF ANYONE HERE PREFERS THIS VERSION, I’LL GO OUT AND BUY AN OMNICHORD ON FRIDAY. JUST LET ME KNOW*

https://vocaroo.com/1g6nLVwHQXMs
^this one i want to be the lead single, we just tracked real drums for it. idk i just think it’s a good pop song. i can’t imagine it would sound better with synths than guitar

idk
these days i vacillate between “oh golly this is shaping up to be a great album, look at how different all the songs are” and “wow we have no established sound, this record doesn’t provide a cohesive experience”

my ex was kinda like grimes. she’d probably enjoy this record most if it was just acoustic guitar and 1 or 2 synth songs. that’s the thing though— all these songs are DESCRIPTIVE of our idiosyncrasies/neuroses, but i’d really like to write a song that’s a PRESCRIPTIVE cure for this hole that i’m in. i’d like to make a relationship LAST with that woman, but i don’t know how, so instead it’s just 16 indie pop songs that say “i’d be happy to try again if you ever came back around”

>>128251170
Automate BPM. One of the most important things to humanise a drum sequence and barely any include it. It should be front and centre, an automation line

>>128257592
Good idea, added it.

>>128253872
Added the piano roll (shift P switches between sequencer and piano roll). You can edit the samples notes, but also all of the available automations. Additionally you can set project wide automations here like BPM.
Added initial synthesis work. Square/Saw/Sine/Triangle, basic ASDR controls.
Also added filters, and filter controls for automating (hp/lp/bp/notch, cutoff, resonance)

EQing depends on what else is in the mix. This guitar sounds just fine by itself, normally I'd highpass filter around 137hz with bass/drums/vocals in the mix to start.

When I listen to music on my media PC, it sounds a lot better than from my laptop, even though I use the same headphones
Though with my laptop, I'm plugging them directly into the side, while on my media PC they get plugged into a full Denon AV receiver, which has an optical connection to the PC, which has a dedicated Sound Blaster Audigy card
I wonder why it sounds so much better though
Maye I should buy an AVR for my laptop, then my music will be better

Best android daw that isn't a subscription service?

>>128262640
pretty good, has that dramatic mcr vibe. the guitars and drums could be a bit "cleaner" though, they sound kinda dull, especially the drums, the cymbals don't sound as bright as they could and the snare has a very short release, and it overall sounds weak, though its composition is good. the guitars are a bit better but still need some more work, especially on their intensity and volume. the vocals are very well done imo. try to play around with panning on the drumkit as well, especially the cymbals and toms, see if anything nice comes out of it

>>128265114
good, though it's kinda repetitive; probably could be two minutes long instead, or use a few more riffs in the middle, also the guitars should be louder and have a bit of playing around with the volume to create a sense of dynamics and "punch".

>>128265254
>connects headphones to a whole audio setup, including a dedicated sound card
>wow why does it sound better

>Maye I should buy an AVR for my laptop, then my music will be better
maybe, if you have good production headphones and ears

does this sound right?
i won't specify how aside from the obvious pitch shifting but this should not work on paper.
when i retuned it sounded completely wrong though

This is admittedly getting out of hand and turning into a full DAW in the browser.
- (1) Added timestretching, for both uploaded samples and to match the song bpm for the song you're transcribing to the project.
- (2) Added the "Sample Library" where you can upload, preview, organize, chop, and edit samples you upload. New tracks now use this library for samples, rather than uploading a new sample each time you want to make a track including one.
- (3) Added virtual keyboard, and midi keyboard support with virtual keyboard indicators when playing.

Today I hope to get arrangement mode working, and then I will take a step back and try and marry these features a little better. I want to have controller support so I'm trying to build things with that in mind (biggest inspo is nanoloop)

i have the dt880s and the hd600s and generally prefer the 600s

Wow nice work, so is this totally browser based? I could see something like that being particularly useful in educational contexts. Maybe that would also be an avenue for making some money from the project?

Am I boned? I set up a tempo automation when I started working on a song, but after recording guitars I decided it was slightly too harsh. However, it doesn't seem like logic will let me place another tempo point within the curve. I really don't want to rerecord most of the guitars, since I think I nailed it yesterday and the part is a bitch to play. Any solutions?

Thanks for the encouragement! Education seems like a good avenue to go down, I'm not really sure if this will be worth anything monetarily or not.
Originally this was just for me so I could make stuff while in meetings and output the midi to a daw, or for learning an aphex twin drum pattern. Now I'm trying to focus it into a hardware/drummachine like DAW with extensive pattern transcription features.

I think I'm at a point where I make pretty decent music and know my way around my DAW. My question to anyone who uploads their music online, what's the best one to upload to so that people will notice? I just get discouraged and feel like I'd be putting stuff out into the void so I have been making stuff for fun and for people I know to hear.

>>128251949
it needs a mono sub bass for sure it feels like the entire mix is just around me, sounds good overall though, like i said though it definitely needs at least a stronger mono sub bass and centric focused bass for sure

>>128278892
>so that people will notice
You have to make good unique music for that to happen

>>128273127
Did you try deleting guitar track, changing the tempo then putting it back?

>>128278892
Question: if someone else made my music, would I listen to it? Would I love it?

>>128278892
give your music meaning. i really mean it, if you simply publish music that you do "because" then it'll be shit.

about getting noticed, that's pure luck and networking (if you want), if you reeeeeally want to spread your music as much as you can try joining a label, there are a lot of independent ones, whether national or not, that are always looking for artists to join them, since they also wanna spread out as much a they can (no pun intended). also, if you're passionate about it then get into designing your identity, that is logos, cover art, maybe a website, etc., and promote yourself on social media if you're willing to go through the "5 followers, 500 followed" phase.

personally, i stopped giving a shit about promoting my stuff, i simply publish my music and let it be, what matters is making music and art, that's the most important thing at the end of the day

kys this is the same slop you've been posting for years

it's categorically bad music. of course you can't prove haters wrong because you're not signed to a good label or anything. anons look to a literal pleb who works in a grocery store for inspiration. the people who make toxic masculinity EDMslop that sounds like it's straight from 2010 are getting visibly old and increasingly irrelevant. there's a roided up tutorial youtuber with completely white hair and white facial hair.

>>128278892
maybe in a similar vein to >>128279706 in the "give your music meaning" answer, probably the single best thing you could do is find a way to attach your music to another medium. Seek out artists that want their games, art, etc. to have music and try to get involved with their projects. Music on its own is too much of an investment for listeners, especially for artists they haven't heard before... pressing that play button and giving a few minutes of your time to giving some random song/artist a chance is just too much of a barrier for most people; it's not time or effort that people are willing to gamble. But if you hitch a ride on a more visual medium like art or a game (ie, something people can process more instantly.. art only takes like half a second to go "me like" or "me no like"), then it gets rid of the barrier. Music in general tends to thrive and get engagement way better with added context

>>128265510
Late reply, I dont know what you mean by dull guitars but the drum stems are pretty shit and have tons of bleeding, especially the toms they impossible to work with because the china and snares are baked into them. Theres no cymbal stem its just overheads and room tracks to mess with, the kick stem is also pretty shit but I guess I made it punchier this time.

If you can't, and if the other guys suggestion of flex time doesn't work.

You could bounce/render/compile the whole track or what you need you and then put it in another project then curve the tempo over the track the way you need since the first tempo segment is already rendered.

>>128286494
i just come from mixing-composing a song so my ears are kinda tired, but you improved the drumkit's mix a lot, despite the bad stems. what i meant by "dull guitars" is that they sounded kinda empty and did not show a lot of "weight", especially in this kind of song, but now they sound better, so don't worry. also, i love the work you did on the toms' and kick's panning by the end, feels a lot better that way.

now, since you gave the drums more presence the rest of the ensemble got a bit left behind, and it seems like you have a lot of low mids, probably due to the improved toms and kick, this can be clearly noticed at the start of the song, though it gets kinda fixed by the end, probably due to the panning you did on the drums, which added space, thus, i'd say the problem is a lack of stereo imaging; try to expand the arpeggio and supportive elements in order to make 'em listenable and add a bit more of space in the song. if you don't know how to do this, or just want a quick way out of it, simply add an EQ and set it to "mid/side" mode, go to "side" and add volume to the high-mid and/or high frequencies and (if you want) cut the low end, and tame the mids on the "mid" mode if necessary (like the snare needing more room to breathe). this could also get fixed on the mastering stage but it's always better to do it on the mix since you get more control over the stems

also, you could try to add a reverb to the snare in order to fix it a little bit, thought not 100% wet obviously, just a little bit to not let it be too "dry" sounding

>>128293644
$10000 good huh

>>128293675
lastly, if the snare is really baked into the toms, then you might want to apply that reverb thing automating the effect to only happen when the snare comes in, or use a return track and apply and EQ that "stems" the snare as much as you can before the reverb. also, the "mid/side" thing i said is meant to be applied on the desired tracks, not on the whole mix/master (though you could if necessary, but, as i said, it's always better to do it on the mixing stage)

>>128293292
Completely useless unless it's for tracking live performances while recording. Otherwise, engineers in the 60s-80s could only dream of having the perfect software comps have today. They would use them in a heartbeat over hardware

Nastiest shit I've heard in a while

I downloaded a sample pack with a bunch of drum samples but I dunno how to use it. Been googling a little and I've seen Sitala mentioned but now it's no longer free.

Is there a vst out there that allows me to import the individual drum samples and trigger them with a midi device? Also that the ui is similar to a drum machine or something, though that's not mandatory.

>>128307454
wat daw u using nothing built in?

>>128307727
I actually just checked, I do have a couple. Would have preferred more drum based ui though.

Also I have no idea how to set them up ah. Might just play around with that later though. Sitala really seemed perfect with the ui and all, so unfortunate.

^^uhhhhhh this song is too cheesy rn right?

i'm thinking of just aping the arrangement from this song to reduce the cheese factor:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkCtpMMUxac

y'know, add real orchestra strings, add a low synth, give the vocal a ton of delay and have a ton of layers so it's kind of chamber-y? and obv i can dial in a more similar drum sound

idk i guess i just heard the demo of that FJM song and it sounded similar to where we're at right now with our song

>>128307775

Sweet, hopefully it's not too hard to learn. Just want to make a song for shits and gigs.

>>128317305
vocals too silent mostly in the beginning.

Why are you poisoning the well anon? the other anon was being honest and you quickly went off full cancer mode just for the sake of it.
You're deliberately trying to create confusion replying as the anon who posted their vocaroo, stop being a fag.
Making music is a fragile and intimate process, something you know nothing about unfortunately.

>>128318571
You gave a complete hippy ass non answer to somebody asking for an opinion.
It’s the equivalent of making a blog post and receiving a “life is what you make it!” in response.

That didn't concern you in the first fucking place satan, fuck off

>>Eventide processing is highly addictive. I primarily make electronic music and it is the most important "instrument" I have because it makes things sound so much more interesting and places them in space in a very magical way.

>That's exactly how I feel about my Eventide stuff. If I had to, I would sell my synths before my Harmonizers. I would be happy using softsynths, as long as I could run them through some Eventide hardware.

I know more than anyone here

i never compared myself to anyone

>I record my synths wet (with my eventide 4000) and never touch a plugin afterwards.
>There is this preset in the 4000b+ called "jurassic Space" which i use for basslines on the Moog One.
>It sounds so deep, dark, lush & 3d i would never be able to do that ITB.

If you have REAPER (I know that it's not free but it's an infinite trial) you can just dry run render the audio file and get those statistics without even outputting a file.

Fuck you. Your attitude is trash. Wouldn't listen to a word you had to say.

>Hello, gentlemen. Ladies, too, but in such a thread I would wager numbers are scarce and therefore I address the majority and beg your pardon if I have offended you. Within my reply I have included a snippet of a musical work in progress - I implore you to temper your initial, raw reactions and emotions and instead listen with a technical ear, for I'm looking to gather feedback pertaining to the balance and play of each instrument that contributes to the whole piece, and most importantly, whether the correct balance has been achieved. If you are kind enough to sacrifice part of the precious time in your day (which I do not take lightly and, indeed, respect yours as equally as my own), then I thank you advance and look forward to reading your thoughts on the matters concerned. Yours sincerely, anon.

yeah sampling is kind of nigger tier especially in 2025 you can find out how to make almost any sound or you could use sound-alike services to get around copyright issues

I'm an EDM expert ask me anything

For all four, yes. Yes, very good.

>>128320154
How do you get the most streams possible?

>>128320325
make something good. send it to other producers and have them play it
you can force exposure by sending it everywhere but if your tracks are actually good you dont need to
if you're not absolutely hyped with the track its not good enough

>>128320374
Could you define "good" please?
Does it only need to be masterfully made or does it also need to meet other requirements such as being trendy, fitting into a niche, etc?
Does it need to be good in every aspect, or can it be lackluster in something (for example if it hasn't been professionally mixed/mastered, or if the sound selection is kinda generic, etc)?

I have 4hp left in my Eurorack system. Dubs decides what I buy to fill it

Much better, nice job

>>128320517
that all comes pretty much naturally and effortlessly with time if you're talented
you could tell a retard as much as you want and they're not going to figure out how to make a masterpiece because they're retarded

can anyone give me tips on using my digitone better?

>>128321333
Nice non-answer, non-expert.

see at 10:00 to 12:30
even a complete normie can hear the difference
a talented person is naturally drawn to these things without needing to be spoonfed like i'm spoonfeeding you right now but even with spoonfeeding you still won't git gud because you're profoundly retarded

opinions gs?

i dig the underlying vibe but your vocal use is ass but your vocal could be nice just learn to sing better and tighter and clearer

>>128321010
Yo this good

especially on 4chan you see a lot of autists with boneheaded music taste which has practically zero correlation with being a successful producer. you can't talk sense into someone and tell them what music is good and what music sucks, it's as personal as politics or religion. you can't teach them the musical equivalent of 2+2=4. they are generally retarded like they want to sit at a computer and make music because getting off their ass and putting some rack gear together is too much for them. they generally struggle with all kinds of things like math, sports or competitive video games which indicates that they're probably going to have a hard time learning musical and audio engineering skills etc.

Omnisphere 3 fx rack pretty much means that I can just uninstall every single other fx plugin in my library

>getting off their ass and putting some rack gear together is too much for them

no he’s just going to either not respond or say some variation of “i’m not giving you retards my secrets” or just copy paste shit about a few of the biggest pieces that everybody knows

>>128319975
Sorry for going all in now but I'd throw in a bigger suggestion.
I think the music with the very soft drums should be there before the drums really pick up.
The soft intro was nice. Not cheesy.
Keep the music as it was in the cute version,
And go full on drums like in the new version at 00:27
>You know
>That I can
>BOOM MUSIC ESCALATION
try it.
So tl;Dr keep music as it was and at 00:27 engage the full drum beat/music.

The vocals are good. No need to doubt them.
>>128325046
>>128319975

Maybe 00:29.
>That I know.
>leave a beat

Since the guy didn't shill, but I want to know more, am I allowed to ask for the SoundCloud?

Are you controlling the highs of that lead sound anyway? EQ/comp/limit? I feel it if it has a slightly less high transients will click better.
Not a filter cutoff change, just an EQ to control some of the "piercing" transients.
If it sounds good try it, see how it sounds to the ears.

>>128324814
i have legit secrets, such as one i found just today of how to get the digital warmth of the H3000, even if you have a hunch of how to do it, 99% of anons don't have the capability to hear if it's true or not, especially the boomer straight up doesn't believe that there's value in analog compressors and such, he thinks music production is almost all about the songwriting and the performance and he doesn't recognize nuances in the sound beyond that
