These pancakes sure RTASty!

www3.zippyshare.com/v/apIHQs8Q/file.html

tell me what ya think /prod/. because above all i value your opinion and want to get better!

>inb4 not clyp.it durrrrrr
shut up

what's a rosssilcock?

Anyone using Reaktor as a primary "creative environment"?

i think you should upload to clyp.it and make it less than 40 fucking minutes

Happy Music Day

just about finished this track, any feedback is appreciated.

clyp.it/uxe34pov?token=55305002733a2c01d40ae51e2dbd154b

i think you should shut up. what's so fuckin special about clyp.it faggots? wats the difference

clyp.it/up0xxgsg

what do you guys think

>look at me im special and different! i don't do things the NORMAL way XD so unconventional

drums could be more present in the track, i think they got kinda buried in this current mixing. the intro is kinda strange and not welcoming but once it starts it is pretty nice. i like the synth or what ever that is. some sub bass just to round up the track and fill in the low end would be cool, but i dont know if that was your intention. overall 7/10 has potential.

Thanks for the feedback man

clyp.it/tkc2nymo
does the transition work?

I don't think it's anything special, but yes, it does work.

It's messy but it's still pretty cool.

clyp.it/sz3fsxf3

so I think this is the semi-finak mix. Any suggestions comments on the track?

not meant for >.>

What's a good 'swiss army knife' audio converter, preferably free or easy to find a crack of. Want high quality flac to mp3 conversions, flac to wav, wav to flac, whatever basically.

>flac to wav, wav to flac
what's the point of converting lossless to lossless?

Continued

Negative criticism highly appreciated

you used 'swiss army knife' in the wrong sense
how retarded can you be really

how did he

ehhh, go to urban dictionary lol

you're welcome broski

i already went to ur moms vagina

i used my dick like a swiss army knife on that puss (i fucked her btw)

i highly doubt it she's with my dad's friend

instaud.io/ovm

not mixed but what do you all think so far...

>HAHAHAHA GET IT BECUZ LE EPIC WACKY FAKE SEX MOVES WEBSITE SEZ IT MEENS SUMTHING ELSS???
i remember grade 7

you're a fucking faggot shut the fuck up. christ almighty. no one uploads to another site from clyp.it to stand out. and before you say clyp.it ensures anonymity, every fucking person has a profile and you can go through their entire list of music.

instaud.io is best for anonymity. but really who fucking cares in the first place besides autists like yourself who think everyone that doesn't "follow the norm" is trying to be a "special snowflake" because they don't conform to your stupid fucking made up rules in a production thread on a tibetan singing bowls board

it was 12 years ago 9 months before (skin heh) you were born

#triggered

nice try

Sup Forums tier thread today
good job guys

Yeah this is pretty awful.

you just don't get it because you're dumb

And this is why I left this thread months ago in the first place.

that's impossible

these 14 year olds really tick me off

do you want to talk about it?

you mean you dont like wacky maymays and urban dictionary and "i had sex with ur mum"?

no, that's why you DO get it

i can appreciate a good fart joke
sue me

what does square wave osc that only goes up to 10 hz?

>it stinks

>instaud.io/ovm
The voice thing isn't fully in tune. I can't tell if the track is intended to be humorous ironically it sounds like meme music.

well /prod/ as a whole has really been on the downfall lately what with the shitposting and non-discussion of music. fuck you guys. all of you.

it's a work in progress first off.

second, how does it sound like "meme" music?

oh come on... a little banter is part of Sup Forums imo.
i regularly post wips and comment on tracks.
its no biggie man.
and if /prod/ fails ill find something else.
but most of the time i really like /prod/ threads.

so can i, but i dont see any around here

>what does square wave osc that only goes up to 10 hz?
>it stinks
the fuck does this even mean? are you having a stroke?

>banter
stop using this word in self defense whenever it gets too teenager-y in here. adults can banter too

go into massive

set the pitch to -64

play C

the sound you get is a farting noise.

if a square wave oscillator would only go to about 10 hz you wouldnt even be able to make melodies with it.
hence, it stinks...

you could use it as an lfo, though.

w/e man. this is not the place for it i got it. ill find another place.

>if a square wave oscillator would only go to about 10 hz you wouldnt even be able to make melodies with it.
>hence, it stinks...
and the punchline is...?

idk man was just from the top of my head...

it stinks in two ways, because of the farting noise and its useless limitation.

if thats not funny to you i get it. i was from the top of my head. im just trying.

hold up so to upload my WIP shit to clyp.it i have to jump trough how many hoops exactly

abbbbout 0

Anyone bought used SM57s from ebay? I know new ones are a no-go due to the amount of counterfeits from China but what about 2nd hand sellers?

lel you got the most negative criticism of all - the ignore

So did i :( oh well

>tfw you finally come up with something you enjoy
how's your day going /prod/?

also where's the best place to get drum samples and the like other than ripping them from other songs

tpb

MAD AS HECK

i'm trying to be four tet

clyp.it/fjtglwkt

how?

go to pirate bay
search for samples
download said samples

rutracker has a far better selection of VSTs and sample packs. what.cd is really good for vst's as well.

Does anyone have advice on how to create silky smooth synths for prog house? Also do I make them evolving with oscillators or what have you?

yeah but pirate bay is shit

How do I avoid getting royally fucked with viruses?

buy it xD

really though just be smart they are samples just dont fall for sample.wav.exe

nice track. what are you doing for the drums?

are all the synth sounds sampled?

pretty cool. maybe vary the drums a little more but otherwise i liked it.

I'm going a little crazy trying to mix this. Any suggestions? Sound OK?

clyp.it/0ljrlg3o

Drums are a basic kick sample with a bunch of jazz breaks and other percussion loops chopped up. All the synths are samples

hey /prod/ new to producing here. I'm looking to mainly do synthwave/techno on hardware, currently have a volca keys and monotribe looking to get more

any daw better for mainly recording and doing eq and exporting work. Not really looking to do live stuff

>recording, eqing, and exporting
seriously? i challenge you to find a daw that doesn't have all 3 of those as simple 1 step processes that a small child could learn... come on man

has anyone actually gotten a virus from pirating?

i've been pirating things on a daily basis since i was 12 and i've never gotten a virus from it

one time only off kazaa and i was young as fuck and a pleb

should I an hero?
>clyp.it/1j1yxyc0

Is it terrible? I have been producing for about a year now, and I get mixed feelings.

got a RAT Trojan once, several times just got adware

pretty easy to remove though

bump

cheers dude. few follow-up questions if you don't mind:

-are you stacking the chopped up loops on top of each other (and if so, how many do you have going at a time)? what kind of processing are you doing here?
-are you running the synth samples through Simpler?

i greatly appreciate it.

Ambient/Chill track, let me know what you think.
youtube.com/watch?v=IampNk-k_Ag

Gonna have a listen through the thread now.

Hey /prod/, how does this sound so far? I'm trying to go for a decent trance sound.

clyp.it/va5mfvpg
>please ignore the shitty loop I use

Like this. I'd cut off the first minute or so though, and I'm not sure about all the synth sounds, but composition wise it's a nice bit of melodic dnb.

Eh, trance isn't really my bag but it sounds like trance alright.

>What's a good 'swiss army knife' audio converter
Audacity.

>clyp.it/va5mfvpg
Thats some nice trance ya got there

>i've been working on this techno/house tune for a while, any comments lads?
Beats are good but you need more diversity in the medlody.

wow you are so deluded, this is fucking terrible, what about this makes you think it can contend with the thousands of excellent albums by producers that barely have a career or unknowns? Do you have any fucking shame? Putting out a album with this trash? You really think you can build a career out of this? The only good thing about this song is that there aren't any notable mixing mistakes. That's literally it.

me i'm pic related. I'm the shit. I DJ the world over from Albany to Syracuse and if you think that I would ever waste a morsel of my time with that vibe-killer, then you have another thing coming. I have collaborated with them all, from Richard (oh, you mean Aphex Twin) to Sonny (oh, you mean Skrillex) to Stephen (oh, you mean Black Adults Swim Man), and, ho ho, it would be a grave offense to the world of music if you were to deign to even glance at the ground they walked on the Tuesday before last.

i've never even seen this before and i know it's a pasta

youtube.com/watch?v=5tZlu4wP4pw

how does one get those rhode sounding piano timbres?

Limiter? Really? Well you should know that as Autechre told me this production tip which separates the men from the boys: there are no limits.
