Can I make an entire 808 kit in Serum? Yeah we know how to make the bass drum and kick etc but what about all of the sounds? Claps and snares etc. I mean the original 808 was all analogue so it shouldn't be impossible to do right? Shame i'm shit at synthesis

the snare is just a properly enveloped overdriven sine wave hitting around 180 hz with white noise on top. the hi hats are again just white noise with a specific envelope and maybe some retro vocoding to get the that pingy metallic timbre

retarded question: I own a ZED 420 mixerboard (not Mackie level shit tier but not a neve either). And I'm wanting to use it to mix outside of the box because I wanna be just like real studio. But I have no idea how that would work considering I'd be using Garageband or Ableton or something. Is there anyway to connect the faders to the faders in the DAW so that I can control it with outboard gear? Or is there literally no point in owning a mixerboard besides having "slightly better than an interface" preamps? I just wanna twist knobs damnit! There's a USB on it for "sending audio to and from your PC" so let's say I get a nice ish preamp, record into the PC, then send it through the usb to my mixerboard so I can mix it manually, then back into the computer. Would that work?? Seems pretty FUBARD

What vocal effect is being applied at 0:53 ( youtube.com/watch?v=UclCCFNG9q4 ) and how would one replicate it?

Thanks in advance

the vox reversal or just the delay/echo

either way, that's your answer

Reverse reverb

Anyone in here help me out with this?

Thanks for the help!

Starting out prod. I want to make down tempo beats to jam with my acoustic guitar. How do I start off? I am partial to a tracker such as renoise as this is available for Linux.

...

>wanting your music to sound like this

if you're tryna make beats just make sure whatever daw you get has a triplet grid function

The audio interface on the ZED-420 is pretty limited - really only a 2-channel in/out job - so to do multitrack recording and mixdown via the mixer you'd need an interface with a lot of inputs and outputs to sit in between the mixer and your computer.

The mixer itself does have direct outputs from each channel (I'd assume these are post fader/EQ) so you could send each mixer channel to your interface through those, or if you're strapped for budget you could use the four group outputs on the mixer to record submixes via a smaller interface (say with 4 in/out) and route those back into your mixer - you'd have to make loads of compromises with that approach though.

do daws without triplet grid even exist

not sure if this is the right place but how do I write good melodies? anything I make sounds so incredibly souless and cringeworthy.

Start with chords first, exercise repetition and minimalism (some of the most famous melodies are so fucking simple) and learning scales and basic music theory can go a looong way

Is Syntorial worth getting? Not got a huge amount of money at the money and will be a bit of blow but I really, really want to learn synthesis and this seems the best way of going about it.

You can pirate it, you know?

I think you can just torrent it

Where? It's not on Pirate Bay

Mixing is combining different tracks, right? Why is this such a big task?
What is mastering?

will my beatz be stolen if i post them here for feedback?

if they were worth stealing you wouldn't post them here

Only if they're good, so there is no risk.

thanks for the heads up, lad

been making at least a beat a day for the last 6 months and im just now starting to feel happy with my sound, so fuck that Im not risking it

Mixing = 90% using compressor, reverb, suration and EQ on individual tracks.

Masterings = setting volume levels, do minor mixing adjustments and doing EQ and compressor on mastertrack and panning AFAIK.

Has anyone here played around with supercollider?
What's did you do?

Thanks dude, it's downloading now. ill I need the lessons too?

will* also I mean the downloadable lessons

No idea. Never used it myself. I just have AudioZ on my RSS feeds, so I knew it was there.
Open it and see what's inside.
I think that's the regular packet with the lessons for their proprietary synth, but there are also other packets with lessons for other popular synths, and those aren't included so you'll have to find them separately (you should find some of them on AudioZ).

I play in a punk band but I've become interested in making ambient stuff to chill me out on the side. Could someone recommend a good DAW/Midi Controller to do this?

>Mixing is combining different tracks, right? Why is this such a big task?

It's not always a big task, it depends on the project - it scales up with the track count really. but also with the complexity (kinda captain obvious here) so you might get a 3-piece punk band recording single-take drums/bass/guitar parts that need very little treatment to get the sound of the band down, then you'd add a few tracks of vocals comped down to perhaps two and you're done.

Modern pop productions are fucking behemoths, with multiple tracks of synths, drums, acoustic instruments, vocal takes and single stabs and sound effects that producers take a lot longer to arrange - if they get paid by the hour they're gonna stretch that out as far as they can.

>What is mastering?

Treatment that is performed on the final stereo mix - usually on a stereo recording obtained from the producer. It prepares the music for its target format, for duplication and for broadcast.

If that format is an album it'll involve compilation of the material into its correct running order, with level optimisations made so that each song fits with the others before and after it, minor EQ changes get made at this stage (anything major usually call for a re-mix instead) and tracks destined for radio play (also online delivery for pop music via channels like Vevo) are usually also bumped up in level.

Vinyl mastering does have some more processes involved with it, such as application of stereo reduction of bass frequencies, and the processing of RIAA equalization.

try them and use whatever daw you like

Tracks, samples, synths, filters , effects.
Is this all there is to bleeps?
What am I missing?

Musical talent

I'm in the process of learning supercollider. so far ive only used it to generate retarded noise that i stretch in audacity to make drone tracks I use for improvising in renoise

What's a good mixer to use both for live use and recording? I use Ableton

bump

There is an eye opening interview with a Nashville mixing guy in Sound On Sound.

Highlights:
>Uses the same template for everything.
>Only so many musicians anyone uses for top stuff, template accommodates them all.
>Doesn't listen to the track before mixing
>Replaces all the drums, will by special arrangement, retain toms but no more than 50%
>If you want effects, bake them in, otherwise I'm taking them off
>Doesn't spend more than 45 minutes, record is mixing 17 tracks in one day.

One caveat to the above is that he only "does" a certain kind of ultra-commercial ramped up track (that I'd imagine 99.99% of Sup Forums readers would hate) but whew.

If it all sounds the same, maybe the reason is it is all the same but still, 45 minutes.

How does he do vocals?

thoughts or tips?

im making rap music for a local rapper.
clyp.it/vsnfafyf

Wait what so he just strips your track the fuck down and charges for it?

>Two copies of the lead vocal to make it louder!
>WavesCLA76 ->Metric Halo Channel Strip (EQ) ->WavesRvox and then pulls it down -18 -> Two De-essers (2Khz "nasal honk remover", and then 8-10Khz depending on gender of vocalist)
> Runs everything then into a doubler aux.
> Some reverb/delay and other desser stuff on aux

He's called Billy Decker, its in this month's issue with Jack Antonoff on the cover.

In fairness I think very few mixing guys will keep your plug-ins and stuff. If its just like reverb they'll replace it with something they like better, if its a distinct "special effect", bake it into the stems so they don't have to reproduce it.

Much like when you find out what Max Martin and Dr Luke's (and Xenomania in you are in the UK) credits look like, I think there are really a small handful of people who then determine what everything sounds like.

you cna practically phone music in these days.

its not focused on talent but more so on how attractive you are, whats contemporary, and if you have alot of friends or connections, and social capital.

if music were about talent youd see alot more asians outperforming everyone.

clyp.it/tgpykelq

Work in progress, any thoughts? It's more electronic / beat oriented than what I usually make. Dunno what to label it, 'glitch beat' or something?

Thanks. I manually adjust vocals with volume automation, its time consuming, I guess he doesn't do that

You look at asian charts, their pop is much more sophisticated than western

are you kidding? it's all subpar copies of western styles

I made this tonight. It's all played live on my outboard stuff and captured in one track. I need to spend more time getting the levels right on the gear itself since the behringer mixer I'm using isnt very precise.

clyp.it/14cagodj

I just do this shit to amuse myself but I'm open to suggestions.

Sample (or whatever that sound is) is too stagnant to really be interesting, and the way it's chopped isn't fixing that.

Other than that, stop trying to emulate every other trap beat on earth. You aren't going to get far being good at making trap drums. There's thousands of people that can do that. Draw influence from things, but find your own style, man.

The article's behind a paywall, do you have the pdf?

gun scary

Tell me that sample and I'll help you out

...

this is pretty good user
it needs some peter gabriel type vocals on top though
and a little more movement in the chords but your on your way to the miserable life of a real musician!
keep it up

Oh cool. I am planning to get started with renoise as well.
Anything I should know before starting that could help?

You shouldn't have done that user. Now I am filled with self doubt :3.

How good are the Operator and Analog synths in Ableton? Never bothered with them besides messing around but it's mainly because I fucking hate the UI on them making it feel like a chore to use. I know it's up to whoever is using them to make sounds but are there any cheesy tones they make that'll make the average producer know you're using Operator or Analog?

what are 'proper envelopes' and how did an 808 do vocoding?

i made this in less then an hour
Will a baka user kun with some free time please rate this piece of garbage?
clyp.it/tmeuuo0m

I'm looking for some videos where some professional is mixing or mastering a track and you can just watch them while they work, a-anyone?

Operator is best synth
>know what you're getting
>tone doesn't change like every preset
>tone is consistent and continuous
>stable, no fancy shit, no drain on cpu
>put convolution and distortion and compression on and you're good to go

Never look back

Matthew Weiss' mixing series. He does different genres, I learnt a lot, particularly how subtle he eqs, 'little dips add up'

this is fun user

I thought it was shit.
>another let's ignore key (what's that?) while failing at dissonance prod clyp

well i didn't say it was genius it's just pretty fun sounding

I wonder if guy's like that are tone deaf, let's just put heaps of disparate notes together
>isn't that just what musicians do?

Hey /prod/ers,

Made this on a train the other day, how would you develop it? I know it takes too long to get going but what else?
Thanks.

these speakers any good?

You’re not really selling it user

NS10’s? Yes

Anyone?

piece of garbage?

Thank you based Arturia

I feel like this makes my Minibrute 1 AND my Mother 32 worthless.

Brb selling my eurorack

No, but that's the whole point.
They were meant to show how your song will sound on shitty speakers, so were used as a reference alongside proper monitors.

Also, how come Korg haven’t broken into the eurorack world yet? I have a couple of the volca’s and if they could bang them out at just over £100 you’d think they’d clean up with releasing some cheap eurorack stuff. MS-20 filter comes to mind along with the monotron delay module.

You got the circle of 5ths tattooed on your faggot bone or something?

Thanks

Lol I appreciate it. My only goal for now it to get better at it. That’s was basically my 2nd song using a PC

There are already a bajllion MS20 filter clones and the same pseudo-analog delay chip is used in a heap of cheap eurorack delays.

They should do something in that domain though.

Wackadoo

>bought overpriced expensive equiptment in an attempt to be "just like a real studio" because some nerds on an internet forum told him mackies were "shit"
>can't even figure out how to use it

classic /prod/

ya dun goofed

I'm fairly a beginner in most respects. Where do I go to get my feet in the water with "making mixes not sound like complete shit 101"? I know theoretically how EQs and compression work, I need to start learning how to actually use them in practice. Creative deficiencies aside I have no idea to make a mix sound anything but terrible.

FL has been really difficult for me lately when it comes to doing what I want. I also don't have jack shit for equipment; having to use shitty Turtle Beaches for equalization. I know little to nothing about music theory as well.
>inb4 get out poorfag

clyp.it/om2ojbqu
What could I do to improve this? I was aiming for it to sound like hard Dance/House.

Your samples sound too "stock". Seems like everything is passed through a lowpass filter, there's no high end at all. The second part is pretty deep, I like it.

>I'm wanting to use it to mix outside of the box because I wanna be just like real studio. But I have no idea how that would work considering I'd be using Garageband or Ableton or something.
I use my 16 channel mixer to mix some channels out the box because I just prefer to be able to jam the channels out king tubby style. I have a Focusrite 18i20 which has 8 analog outs. I use 2 of the channels for sending effects from my daw into the Aux sends on the mixer. Usually this is a reverb (RC24) and a Delay (Replika XT), sometimes a phaser or flanger. The other 6 outputs are usually instrument channels from my daw straight into the mixer. which leaves me with 8 channels for my outboard gear.


>Is there anyway to connect the faders to the faders in the DAW so that I can control it with outboard gear?
No you'd be wanting some kind of mixing surface controller for that.


>There's a USB on it for "sending audio to and from your PC" so let's say I get a nice ish preamp, record into the PC, then send it through the usb to my mixerboard so I can mix it manually, then back into the computer. Would that work??
I think the USB is like the other user mentioned that its from the 2 output channels, so technically if you had a audio interface you could send out from your daw to the mixer channels then have the output from the mixer send back into your daw to record or feedback into the mixer again

Yeah I realise that, I have a Befaco Sallen Key Filter which is a MS-20 clone but what I was meaning is the Volca kick has a MS-20 filter in it i think so if they can knock that out a t just over £100 then they could do the same for just the filter for example, which would be a fucking bargain compared to all the other euro stuff.

>thinks he needs expensive equipment to make house music

just make friends with some other nerd who likes mixing because he can't write his own music, then bounce out each individual track to that nerd and have him mix it for you so you can stop worrying about not having the Waves Gold Bundle.

Interesting...I turned down all my reverb auxes because I felt like they were muddying things too much (even though I'd cut out the lows on all of'em).
Thanks for replying mang.

It doesn't.

Special the mum32 - that thing's got tone that the Minibrute can't touch.

Bumping for advice/unduly harsh criticism. Wanna make the next one sound better
