Any Mixcraft 7 users here?
...
stop posting this forced nigger chimp meme
make me
reason user here.
i'm more of the composition type of musician, so i find the general mixing/mastering/production very hard and it takes me a billion times longer than writing an actual song.
i can't get the "crystal clear" sound down. reason tracks always sound a little too synthetic, too "computerlike" to me in the end. sometimes it's what i want, but not when i'm trying myself on a mainstream dance song.
show us something?
guys, i downloaded a cracked version of kontakt and i cant find any cracked libraries on rutracker, i just want some good keys,strings and sax please help a nigga out
have you tried kickass to?
i did but everytime i download it it says its a demo version
tape saturation/harmonic distortion
add subtle pitch bends here and there
also post a clyp it
The fixed grid is the problem. You fight it by using the groove pool on anything that's too quantized, especially drums
go to tpb
hey guys can you give me some feedback on this one? this is my first real attempt at mixing.
stop posting Sup Forums-tier edgy racism
sounds good imo
i did but everytime i download it it says its a demo version
I don't know sorry m8, I will try to install it myself later on. gonna tell ya if if i know anything
any feedback? I'm still busy in the production process so i didnt focaliza at all on mixing
not bad, but the little breaks in between don't sound so good imo, kinda off beat.
thanks. i just skipped parts of the track while recording the clip, that 's why of the pauses
I just downloaded my first DAW as well as a couple of VSTs. Where the hell do I go from here?
I have no idea where to start. Are there any exercises I can do to get my creativity going?
I'm sorry if this question gets asked frequently, and thanks in advance.
there are tons of cinesamples and spitfire libraries on rutracker
Alright /prod/ I'm about to become a synth fucking expert and learn to make my own patches; give me a definitive list of the best synths I should torrent
what to type to get them?
i havent found anything senpai
"spitfire kontakt"
"cinesamples kontakt"
You're going about this wrong: whatever synth you have at hand/came with your DAW is enough to learn how to make your own patches.
youtube.com
See you in three hours, but you will probably not be looking for synths to torrent then.
thank you my doood
I shall take your advice user
watch some tutorials on how to use your daw then i suggest you downloading a drum kit (check the last link in the pastebin for some drumkits out), then make a drum beat, kick snare hats etc. and then try adding some instruments with midi, make a melody, add some effects like reverb delay or phase and so on
they take a fucking long time to download but it's so worth it
i love my copy of world percussion 2.0
youtube.com
from there you can listen to a couple of other tracks with the same problem.
sorry for not using clyp it... forgive...
massive & fm8 are pretty dope, there's a youtube link to an in depth synthesis video series in the pastebin, check it out!
do you know anything about mid/side processing?
not enough variation in midi velocity
I made some dubtech.
Any suggestions?
>rizon.net
I want to make a sexy piano in FL that doesn't sound techno.. any advice?
what do you mean? a melody or a sample or synth preset or what?
I am trying to make a melody but for some reason when I use FL keys or any synth preset it sounds classical or like some electronic bullshit. So far I've created this.
can you show me an example of what you want to create? like a soundclip or a song ?
youtube.com
It sounds light and smooth. Maybe I'm being too vague.
dude get a proper synth like Massive or sylenth1, I guess you can't even programm your own synths with this FL keys synth?
FL Keys is more of a ROMpler with piano and rhodes sounds, not really a synth.
>Massive
I will give it a try.
Has anybody gotten a cracked version of Sylenth1 on Mac that works in 64bit?
>can't get the sound i want from this piano plugin
>just use another one with more presets durrr
>'' producers ''
kek;
Do .dll plugins work with mac? I know they don't work with logic but what about ableton on mac?
Thanks mates. I'll try making a simple beat in the step sequencer and then mess around with effects/melodies from there.
Just to clear things up, I'm more curious about how to approach the creative aspect rather than the technical one.
Can anyone with a cracked Mac version of Reaktor 6 help me out? I downloaded the dada torrent.
Every time I try to create my own thing by draggint something from the sidebar into the structure, I get this message: "Error while reading Macintosh HD:Users:Shared:[type of sound]
This product is not activated and can not be imported"
I replaced all of the plugins and apps with the cracks and yet it still does this. I've reinstalled the torrent a few times and it doesn't work. I rolled back to Yosemite, where others said it worked for them, but it still doesn't work. I've tried changing the directory from Shared to the Library in the Applications folder but it still doesn't work.
This is driving me absolutely crazy; can anyone help out?
mind showin me how to make a reese bass on this synthie ?
Watch this:
youtube.com
not directly prod related, but it helped me out a lot.
more presets? you mean more options to manipulate/modulate your own sound/create synths from scratch?
Windows has a register called 'regedit' which saves all the serials and certificates of all the programms installed.
If a cracked programm suddenly didnt work, I'd have to delete the certificate and then reinstall it in order to make it work again.
I don't know if you can do this on a mac tho
Any recommendations on some pedals? Looking to add some flavor to my volcano bass and GC is having a sale apparrently
Is the latest Serum optimized? The demo is a 2014 build and it uses a truck-ton of DSP compared to every other wavetable synth.
>I'm more curious about how to approach the creative aspect
Well since most computer music is midi based, just get a keyboard and start playing. If you don't know how to play the keyboard you better get started now because it's a bitch...I'm totally shit at it myself.
If you're into amp sims/don't mind using a computer, I recommend using amplitube/guitar rig, and the line 6 fbv shortboard.
It's awesome, you can use it as a pedalboard, and you even get an expression pedal you can fine tune if you want to.
>mid/side processing
what exactly do you mean? can you give me hints? i use panning/reverb on the mids, and some side chaining here and there, not as much as you might expect though maybe
on which parts, the drums?
also, do both of you think it sounds terrible, or at least "ok"?
>i use panning/reverb on the mids, and some side chaining here and there
that's not what mid/side means
does my rhythm excite you?
>clyp.it
funniest shit ive heard in a while
well, like i said, i'm not much of a producer... it's a really tough task for me as a composer. i envision the "sound" only to some extent.
(it's also really strange how today's view of a musician really means to be able to not only compose notes and structure them together, but also fully produce and mix (two wholly different worlds), manage and play live, advertise and sell all by themselves.)
are you also not much of a googler?
I think anything you compose should work on the piano as well. I make electronic music too, and I always test my pieces on the piano as well. Relying on cool synth sounds for your music feels like a gimmick to me.
well. do you think some other DAWs have better stock samples to begin with? because some of my friends who have no idea how to actually compose a track use FL i.e. and seem to get much better "sounding" results, even though they themselves don't have much knowledge of producing.
stock sounds aren't really where i'd look no matter what daw you're in. starting with the right sounds is a hugely neglected thing by the people who keep spouting the "learn with what you've got!" mantra
I was just about to say that
No, they don't work, not natively at least.
There are a few plugin hosts like Plugwire (think of it like a Wine wrapper) that you can pipe audio to from your DAW and will work once you compensate for the latency it introduces - setting up for VST instruments is a little different but it can be done too:

'EQ cheat sheet'
very useful
I got a MIDI keyboard from my brother a while back, and I have a very basic grasp of how to play it. I'll try delving a bit deeper and see what I can come up with.
Thanks. I'll check it out.
OS X follows the "Everything is a file" philosophy from UNIX, so each activation cert will be held in its own config file (usually in xml format) somewhere - usually in "Application Support" directory.
Someone convince me to not buy Pro Tools.
What DAW should I use instead?
Pro tools is a good daw.
It is. That's what scares me. I've used it and I like it more than any other DAW I've used, but I don't want to shell out the money if I could find a decent free DAW and spend that money on new equipment.
I've considered that maybe I just haven't bothered to give the free DAWs I've tried before a good enough chance, trying them out for longer before giving up.
If you already use it and like it just fucking buy it...or you could waste loads of time working out how to use a different DAW?
I'd rather just pay for it and use something I like than fuck about finding something else because I don't want to spend the money.
i concur, but in the case of reason it's kinda hard to find good synths and if you want to try some, you pay a fortune.
FL has tons of free VSTs, but i don't really like the pattern-workflow as it doesn't work for me. reason is intuitive and straight-forward, gotta love the rack-flipping and connecting cables to really understand where the audio signal goes.
cubase works like reason, so i like that...
not sure about logic, ableton...
That was actually meant to say Volca Bass. I figured a physical pedal would be pretty handy when noodling on the go but I'll definitely look into your advice. Thanks!
if you feel good with it, buy it, new equipment wont get you far if you are not one with your daw

>that doesn't sound techno
yeah you're already done
Sorry if this is asked all the time, but can anyone recommend a good MIDI keyboard? It doesn't have to have super piano-realistic weighted keys, just something where I can mess around and put together melodies and chords, and have room for both hands. Pads and knobs and faders are cool but not required.
Currently looking at the Akai MPK 249, does anyone have any experience with it? Or with the 261?
Why not? Everyone will recommend [insert name of keyboard they bought here] anyway and if it suits you for learning what you want from a controller it's ideal, since it has features from most type.
>Why not? Everyone will recommend [insert name of keyboard they bought here] anyway and if it suits you for learning what you want from a controller it's ideal, since it has features from most type.
I figure I'll get a lot of different responses like that, but I thought I'd ask in case someone would say "no don't get that it's really flimsy" or recommend one that I never heard of so I can read more about it.
Novation launchkey looks like a good choice. I haven't played it myself. I have the alesis qx49, which I like for the most part. The pads suck though, and aren't really usable for like MPC style playing .
Fair enough, you have alternatives like M-Audio (Axiom Air will be similar price and features) and Novation Launchkey or Impulse that'll also suit you fine for similar money - build quality around that price point will be mostly the same, in that they'll feel plasticky but any one of them is fine for just starting out when all you want to find out is what you'll want from a more expensive, sturdier, controller if you're starting to invest more.
you can get a really decent keyboard second hand - there's so much scope for upgrading them that people quite often sell ones in v good condition after a year or so

Hey guys. I need some help. How do I make this mix sound full? I want it to sound big and epic, especially near the end, but it just doesn't sound like that. Any advice? clyp.it
