just started recording vocals with some guitar tracks, I like the tone of my voice but my vocal tracks lack depth especially when paired with some electric guitar. I'm running them through a preamp (Guitarix) and have tried messing with pregain, drive, a few distortions, and some reverb but I just can't get them to have that "oomph" that I want or many professional vocal tracks have. tips?
Shit, my work sounds good with a limiter on master and light soundgoodizer, but when I remove it it get's completely weak and quiet. The problem is that it sounds something like that when I export it and upload to clypit. What can I do now to compensate this? I have always mixed with limiter on because I had no idea what I was doing. I can't just boost the volume, but I don't know what should I do.

waddup first sound submission woo clyp.it/3ymiva5o am i overdoing it on the distortion? are the drums too weak? help
Generally try to compress sounds individually and play about with the individual levels until you're happy with the loudness of everything. Sticking a limiter/compressor on the master is not the end of the world as long as you're not overdoing it
Christopher Roberts
where do I find a good quality free sample library? I need a clean sample of a bubble sound but all the "sample sites" I can find have really shitty and noisy samples
>preamp (Guitarix) not a preamp bud, what's your recording setup?
if you're using a dynamic mic, look up proximity effect. i'd also try compression with a slowish attack.
Reverb can help with depth, not "oomph" really.
you shouldn't need a limiter unless you're fucking around with noises that might clip or you're mastering mate. Just turn up your monitoring or turn your faders up and make sure you're not clipping anywhere. (look up gain staging)
>bubble sound idg what you mean but
freesound . o r g youtube if quality isn't a huge issue. record your own
Thomas Clark
any good place I can download a bunch of vst synths for fl studio 12? specifically looking for the ambient techno sound.
Sebastian Cooper
ez pz
squarewave with a closing filter
quick attack obviously, play with the decay to make sure it's snappy, one osc an octave below.

vst 4 free
just find a bunch of reverbs to test out- ambience is good
I have this part in my track where there's a long open Bb powerchord (guitar) and a bass of course, and a guitar solo, all playing simultaneously. The problem is that when I look at the waveform it hits the ceiling almost all the time when I play this part and it's weird. Am I just, still, not that great at mixing guitar and bass? Or bad at mastering? I don't think the guitar is too loud, do I have too much bass in the bass guitar? I think I already took out some low end from it.
Chase Morgan
can you post it? Does it sound super loud at that part?
My girlfriend says it is the drums making the mix hit the ceiling, but she doesn't know shit about mixing.
Cooper Sanders
clyp.it/op0kalfy is the weird sound druing the beat change too weird? 53 sec in, and the part like 2:12 to almost the end?
Jacob Rodriguez
dubspot youtube channel is good too
Christian Price
Not weird at all. It sounds like aliens talking and I like it.
Levi Ross
There are some boomy low-mids in the solo guitar that are resonating a little on some notes (there's one at 6 seconds in) and that could be contributing to push the overall energy of the mix towards 0db - rather than cut the low-mid tone with EQ (since it's only some lower-register notes and not all) I'd look at some multi-band compression to tame the peaks instead.
Something like Fabfilter Pro-MB would give you a visual clue about what's happening at the bottom end of that guitar sound.
Grayson Hernandez
>clyp.it/uxkmdkh0 the hat is pretty jarring at the first, those leads aren't too jarring but the first[?] lead could use more sustain on the filter i think? be careful, but try playing around with that if that is something??
Dylan Sullivan
lmao tell her I appreciate her feedback. I mean sure it might sound okay, but the guitar and bass seem to take at little too much space when looking at the waveform, where as a similar part in a reference track doesn't; there's more air, but it sounds pretty much just as loud as my track. Yeah you're right in fact I did try to tame them yesterday with a multi-band compressor but it didn't work out, I blame the plugin. I'll try something.
Jaxson Kelly
How much input lag do I have to expect when I connect my electric piano to PC running FL studio, with MIDI to USB adapter? Will it be problematic (oh please god no)?
Parker Reyes
I used to have a keyboard that I connected to pc via an adapter and I didn't get noticeable latency I think
Wyatt Foster
for something like that it doesn't really matter c:
Xavier Taylor
depends on the interface
My old Steinberg 2in/2out had about 25ms input lag. My new MOTU 16in/14out has about 2ms input lag.
I'd expect yours is in the 20-30ms range
Carson Morgan
Ok, thx. Does it matter which cable I buy? Actually, there's only one, not many options to choose from, but it's pretty basic and cheap, like, $30.
Any synth really. Or your bunghole. I will never understand the appeal of those fast 808 close hats but then again this isn't my genre at all.
Thomas Gomez
sounds like throwing shit on table
Noah Carter
just add some dissonant melody from trap808synth vst preset to ur meme song ;)))
Colton Sanders
This, just bang some shit on your table etc and record it, and do some stuff with it. Pitch shift, add reverb...

Thanks for using my dad's album as the OP sometimes. It gives me joy.

Hows it going?
Mason Clark
All's good. If anyone here lives in or near Pretoria and has some way to digitize vinyl albums, we could get a digital copy of Give Us Two More Beers for Sup Forums
Levi Sullivan
what does your dad think about Sup Forums? is he still making music?
He's unaware of Sup Forums, as any dad should be. I've told him that some people online use his old studio picture to identify music production discussion for some reason, and he seemed happy about it. He still plays music with his friends sometimes, and he's the drummer of a local church, the lot of funky music playing kind of church.
The rest of the album is good music, so my offer still stands if anyone is interested.

Anyone here know about mic repair?
The studio I work at has a broken Neumann 193 and I'm trying to see what the problem is. It gives out no signal at all (other than the pop from turning on phantom power). The capsule is pretty dirty, would that cause it to give out no signal at all or would that be more of a cutting in-and-out kind of problem?
Tyler Lopez
should i choose a key first before writing a song and how many notes is a good amount to use? im going to be using samples and midi
can cordbot do mono midi out? i've seen some programs that arpeggio chords really fast so they can play on mono midi.
Joseph Watson
Depends on how fast. You might need two mono midis, just to make sure every note gets through.
Alexander Sanders
Is an i5 and 8gb ddr3-1600 ram good enough for very basic recording?
I usually record to 4track and send it either stereo or mono to pc, but my pentium single core/4gb ram can barely handle that.
What I plan on doing is recording clean sounds on 4track with a click-track to stay in time for tracks 1/2 then using the effects loops for tracks 3/4, then re-recording all 4 into computer using tape-out and an interface. Then redoing that for each instrument part. I won't be using vsts of any sort since I'm more familiar with hardware.
Will i5 4590 be good? Or should I get an i7? Thanks
Ethan Clark
It'll be plenty good. I hate carping on about older systems but recording stereo PCM audio to disk is not a CPU intensive task and a single core Pentium system with the right software could do it with little effort - Windows 3.1 managed it with 386 CPUs and 256MB of RAM.
The issue is modern OSes and applications, so you need more grunt, but yeah an i5 and 16GB of RAM is well good enough for what you need.
Logan Mitchell
..and thinking about it now Win 3.1 would have been rarely seeing 256MB, more like 16.
I'm not sure what PCM audio is, but what I'm hoping to do is take the 4 audio tracks (clean sound, click, and 2 effects (if needed) then using the 4 separate tape-outs (I have my 424 modded for pre-eq tape-outs) into an audio interface that allows recording to 4 separate tracks on daw.
then repeating as necessary. this way with the click track, audio doesnt go out of time from it, and i can just move the parts where they go into the mix.
if that makes sense? i have a fire-wire mixer that can do 4 simultaneous recordings, but my pentium/4gb cant handle that, or anything from firewire for that matter so I right now record with a microphone and set it up nearby the monitors I use with the tascam 424.
Lincoln Barnes
also i can change the tape-outputs to post eq if i wanted, but tascam 424 really has weak eq so I use 4 (one for each track) 30-band rackmount units i got at garage sales.
so when i record to computer i'll feed them into that because i know which shapes each eq field will change the sound to.
if that makes sense, i think of music recordings as a moving painting and eq will change the direction/size/position of the shape when it plays through audio.
so Bsus2 chord is light pink and a ball shape, increase bass eq will make it "sink" and also grow wider, but middle will keep it but it will stretch vertical.
Oliver Lewis
It's a good way to do it - you're using the click as DIY timecode.
You could (alternatively but you don't really need it) buy an old smpte sync box and use one track of your 4-track as a sync track - the smpte box would sync your computer with the tape machine.
PCM is just an encoding method for digital audio - wav and aiff use it.
Jaxson Evans
I need help on how to progress with a song. I always end up getting stuck in a loop and can never proceed to finish a song. Here's something I would really like to finish but as I said I'm lost.
I'm trying to go for a dofflin style of future bass

Rutracker.org. It's in Russian so use google chrome to translate it and register an account. It's your best option other than a private tracker like Audionews or what.cd.
sounds nice, a little too much reverb for my taste, and i'd prefer different drum samples desu, but it sounds like you know what you're doing.
at 14 i'd switch patches and have some huge chords come in...
i tend to follow chord progressions more than melodies though, but i do think you could benefit from introducing some tension or a key change or something to keep the song progressing you know
doesn't really go anywhere... doesn't sound bad or anything but i got bored desu
i like it but the kick is too loud (also maybe make things a bit more clear)
i feel like too much distortion/verb is kind of an amateur thing to hide that the song isn't that great- you don't need it
i'm assuming you're new- i think you need some work on the drums.... fuck with velocity and reverb some more. just try making things sound more organic and spontaneous- it sounds a little boring.
i'd like a little more variation in the beat- it would definitely sound cool with rapping over it though
your synth patches need work... really cool percussion though- i actually really like it.
solid production... there's nothing there to keep me hooked though

I've been working on this one for a while and I can't seem to decide if this is any good or not. What do you guys think?
A music related item costs 1600$ new. It's on eBay, with a buy-it-now price of 950$. The current highest bid is 300$.
There's a reserve price that hasn't been met. What would you guys guess the reserve is?
Brayden Fisher
good vibe up until you introduce the basically initialized saw. sub is too heavy, too static, make it more interesting. more chord variation
Jacob White
lately Ive been playing with guitar loops a lot. A friend of mine wanted a synthy guitartrack for a half dramatic scene in a short film which I havent seen, but I did this ordinary chord progression I figured I might send him. What do you think? clyp.it/ek4qxm04

haven't used fruity loops in ages and i wasn't very good last time i did but i decided to come back to it after some inspiration from a vidya soundtrack
any tips are really appreciated - trying to get back into the swing of things and learn this program better
