DO NOT post Soundcloud, YouTube or any other links where you are not anonymous (unless somebody asks you for it). That is considered self promotion and will usually result in a bad feedback.
Since pastebin is no more, and since I'm the OP, I'll post some links to YouTube channels I find useful for learning.
BusyWorksBeats has turned into shit all of a sudden tbrh.
Its like 5 people just posting random tutorials now. I hope Game fixes this soon, he's one of my favourites. Even if he's constantly shilling his website. You can tell he appreciates his community.
Trying to finish this off by tonight. Not sure I like the kicks though.

>the lead is a little painful to listen to >bass is even worse, it hurts >bass also completely dominates and clashes with other frequencies >that high EQ hat or something is also annoying
Yeah, hurts pretty bad t b h. Keep practicing. Learn more about EQ.
whats the best fl studio tutorial? I'm trying to get into sampling and downloaded best of jazz vol 2 and would like to learn how to make beats with fl studio
Not a fan of the drums. You've got a nice chilled out/psych base so make the drums fit in with the groove
Heres mine hope you guys don't mind a bit of dnb clyp.it/0sbb5ujn
Any advice on mixing the sounds? I've been trying for a while now to make the ringy bit fit in with the bass
Jack Davis
>pronounce moog as moog by accident >people in the music store start laughing at me fuck my shit up lads
Noah Collins
H-how is it pronounced then?
Aaron Ramirez
"Eenseeckoorytiee"
Austin Ward
wtf
Aiden Butler
In all seriousness it's supposed to rhyme with "vogue"
Josiah Williams
nah, this isnt good this is goddamn this is awesome mid-song feels very empty (0:54 - 1:52) tho i'm in love with this guitar sample is good and how you pulled it off is nice too digging this bass a lot i think you should drop the drums @ 1:14 and add something else to go with @ 1:29, otherwise it's all good checking out Yowler later too much high frequencies going on, it's unpleasant to listen to not a big fan of these drums too
clyp.it/eeymoibq trying to figure out if i like the lead synth sound on this and cant really figure out the mixing/eq. not sure if im just over analyzing it or what but yeah constructive criticism would be cool
Jason Miller
Guitar sounds like that creepy first human recording of a person singing.
Lincoln Jones
while i agree with the others on this being bad/less than ideal, i wouldn't discourage you from continuing it. some parts are cool. even if there weren't any good parts id still recommend you keep at it. you cant make anything good without makign some shit stuff.
look into eq and get rid of the super-stock sounds
Ethan Evans
To be fare the only way people actually figure this out is by visiting the moog store or watching the moog documentary
So many people pronounce it wrong
Jacob Taylor
>who here on a "I'll make it or kys myself" train?
Charles Torres
me
Luis Gomez
What is this meme with "making it" actually? Are you americans on crack? Nigga for example in order to "make it" I'd need tons of money, it's not the other way around and don't come up with yer "muh stars started from the bottom"-shit because it's so fucking controlled and anorganic as it can get because of culture of small dick and small brain
Lincoln Lopez
>tfw barely produce anything because I'm waiting to get my midi controller >thinking that I will get productive as fuck when I start using it >well, it's kinda true I guess, since it's too annoying to record with PC keyboard because of latency and I can't get my ideas out as fast
But oh boy, if I'm wrong and stay unproductive even after that...
Wyatt Howard
I'm surprised and very happy there's a general for this. As a would-be producer of 5 months i'm finding pretty much every link in the OP helpful
Juan Evans
I literally just made my first beat, how did I do, any suggestions to make it suck less? clyp.it/u2v03f0d
Adam Gray
I don't want to be 'famous' i just want to get paid for my work. That to me is making it.
Christopher Howard
for the love of god is there a protools torrent that works and doesn't have trojans?
James Torres
this sounded a lot better when I was in FL Studio, what the fuck
Easton Parker
export as wav
Jack Davis
What DAW should I use to make electronic music? Something like Yung Gud or Benga, but I realize I would need a lot of practice first.
Sorry if this is a meme question but I can't find the answer anywhere on here.
Aaron Kelly
I don't know who Yung Gud is but with a name like that there can be only one answer.
Fruityloops.
Oliver Adams
Loop it Chop it up Add bass Add lead Add occasional sxxy femme vox Add some filtering and shit Export as wav Repost
Camden Harris
He uses Ableton, nigger
Jack Adams
...
Isaac Diaz
You're just proving that you're a nigger.
What DAW has a "cool" userbase, according to your nigger preferences?
Brody Watson
he's just joking man
Bentley Reed
Sony ACID Pro its trash but hey i was using it for years xD
Justin Rodriguez
>Sony ACID Pro My nigga. I'm still rocking the 2002 version today!
Juan Peterson
Not trying to derail the thread with a political debate but America has a very free market system where innovation and good business practices. Anybody is able to make it on their own merits, maybe it works that the way you described in a country with less freedom.
Christopher Roberts
>What DAW has a "cool" userbase, according to your nigger preferences? Reason of course.
David Morgan
>where innovation and good business practices are rewarded*
Wyatt Sanchez
He looks like more of an Elektron/Eurorack guy tbqh.
alright, let me finish finding my way around the program I'm coming at this from a rock background so I'm pretty much clueless, I bookmarked the links from the pasta for later use since I'm about to go to sleep
Ethan Jenkins
Why did you delete your post and change the link? I listened to it, it was ok.
Easton Clark
I think I will rename the executive file in crash.exe
the workflow is very intuitive and the looks are simply perfect for an utalitarian autist like me but yeah it crashes when you try to record longer than 8 minutes on average
innovation, sure.
Nathan Morales
First clip abruptly cut off.
Cooper Wood
also is FL any good when it comes to producing rock, I only downloaded (several) DAWs since I have no access to drums or a bass guitar, FL is just the first I'm toying with
Joseph Ramirez
I honestly thought that was intentional. Just making sure.
Andrew Thompson
I lolled, here's a better version for you.
Evan Rodriguez
>the workflow is very intuitive and the looks are simply perfect for an utalitarian autist like me but yeah it crashes when you try to record longer than 8 minutes on average I only ever use it for looping shit, if I want to record live audio I use Ardour. That version I posted a pic of works perfectly in a virtual machine, so I can still use it in Linux.
Christian Robinson
Kek, saving that. Thanks.
Angel Walker
How does this synth patch sound? Yes it's a Zelda song, I was noodling and stumbled on it.
thanks man I found one earlier but it's way too quiet and sounds like shit (and not in a good way)
Blake Green
clyp.it/ujesii5g Little something i started making after listening to more and more boards of canada.
Adrian Ortiz
A bunch of synth manufacturers had making these smaller sized synths for almost a decade now, yet keyboard stand companies aren't making suitable stands for them.
Why the fuck is this happening????
Carter Bailey
Gap in the market right there user. Go get rich.
Xavier Collins
First time mixing this style. Was hoping to get tips or critiques. Thanks a lot guys.
I record all my live instrumentation and vocals in audacity and do all my mixing and drum programming in FL. I downloaded an awesome pack for metal style drums.
Something else I did. Was messing around with the whole neosoul rnb vibe. Just a short clip. Still needs to be mixed though.
Samuel Price
I would add another snare in that that has kinda of pooping rolling groove to in parts to push the song along more personally. Sounds alright overall though. Bass is a little loud for my taste.
Jordan Taylor
i made a simple clip distortion or something but that's so much time to learn to make this shite when i'd rather just make the music
and then i found out that max4live does exactly what i've been wishing existed and i was happy but then i found out what it costs somebody plz just give me money so i don't have to get a job why is making music so fucking expensive this is fucking bullshit
Nathaniel Price
>I would add another snare in that that has kinda of pooping rolling groove to in parts to push the song along more personally
wat?
on what beats? the claps altenate 3 1 2
Eli Taylor
>pooping rolling groove
Kayden Parker
dont just put them on the down beats. get an off beat rhythm going and turn them down low. It feels to computerized is all im saying
ok gotchu now yeah i need to take a drum programming master class because i really have trouble making myself sit down and study from a resource
Bentley Foster
also fyi down beat refers to the first beat of a measure and it's in 4/4
Zachary Barnes
Whenever I program drums I envision how a drummer would actually play. If its not possible for a human to do it then I wont write. Also if you have a swing slider I would turn it up a bit to add some of that groove.
Colton Ortiz
this
Samuel Johnson
i cant envision it i guess, and sure as hell cant play it myself not aware of any swing sliders on ableton or what they would do
Ryan Murphy
I guess what I mean is on 4/4 measure dont only drop stuff on the 1 2 3 4 do it on the 1 e and uh 2 e and uh 3 e and uh 4 e and uh. the es ands and uhs are also equally important.
Justin Clark
