not mixed, just working on new music i guess. this was made this week, im opening cubase again in like 20 min tho.
>piano based? >ambient? >idk, just trying things for a new project.

This could be nice if you didn't keep playing notes that were out of tune.
Ayden Jenkins
clyp.it/svtaszcj the project file for this song has a drum machine that keeps doing random short hihat rolls at me, but i think it's cool in the song? idk been mixing this on shitty headphones, does it sound alright?
Jaxon Parker
I like it mane.
Grayson Ward
would like some vocals above that! keep uploading more of this progress! pd: the hihat on the riff is kinda shitty, add a pattern to it and it should be fine.
decent ambiance, try to add some more dynamics to the keys (at least in the last part). overall its better than most of the stuff i see here.
you can do great experimental music with this kind of stuff. so go with it mate!
Henry Torres
hendrix interests me
Evan Morales
You should learn some music theory, specifically chords.
Kayden Baker
thanks, mate the drums are just quick and dirty for my own orientation because I can't really play on a click track I'll get some real drums in there as soon as the arrangement starts making sense but yeah, I made it a ride cymbal real quick. much less painful to listen to
Carson Brown
haha all of u are trash here is the best song a human can make
pretty good until 00:42 also remove the hi-hats at 1:02 maybe just repeat everything before those and make the beat a minute long
William Torres
Keep trying.
Liam Garcia
fk wrong reply, should be for
Jose Miller
>I'm sorry, this is far too stupid a question to answer. more like you can't answer why i should have to use "proper" chords because there isn't actually a reason. they sound nice yes, but music can do things other than sound nice.
Dominic Campbell
>but music can do things other than sound nice. Stay pleb.
Ryan Thompson
I'm 'studio'
Tyler Cooper
but yours doesn't. The point is a proper understanding of harmony allows you to understand when where and why dissonance sounds nice.
working on this right now. not sure about the distorted guitars and the snare. any pointers? i've had to use a sampled snare mixed in with the real one because of insane hihat bleed
Aiden Richardson
pretty nice you should try swapping that hihat sound also whats the sample
Ryan Sullivan
>working on this right now. not sure about the distorted guitars and the snare. any pointers? i've had to use a sampled snare mixed in with the real one because of insane hihat bleed Honestly sounds fine.
Brayden Robinson
sweet setup
Julian Morgan
this sounds pretty cool. I don't like the hi hats panned to the left near the end, keep em center, maybe flutter them back and forth a bit.
also i'd do some precision cuts with the eq on some of those audio artifacts in the main sample.
keep it up
Jose Adams
I know that fucking feel. Despite being shitty and never completing anything, not having the option to fuck around in a DAW drives me nuts.

Roland is making 303 and 909 reissues in the boutique collection.
Grayson Diaz
nice kurz
Zachary Gray
this is not my taste, too fast, but the instrumentation is good and its mixed good.
btw you've got hella other clyps, some cool stuff in there
Zachary Walker
thought about usin this as cover worth or not
Lucas Myers
Thanks user especially about the mixing part i'm insecure about it
>btw you've got hella other clyps, some cool stuff in there Thanks user I work a lot What did you like ?
Christian Lopez
i'm getting that 909, even if it's digital
Landon Young
cheezewave has great potential, reminds me of kavinsky
4.06 I tried things is really great, album ready.
Complots sounds good, not fan of the arrangement, but instrumentation is great.
Jose Brown
thanks user
there are many tracks called complots because i have a friend who made a tabletop rpg called like that and the tracks are linked to the game in a way
I'll probably release an semi official ost for it one day
Julian Gray
>4.06 I tried things is really great, album ready. >thanks all the more so about this track because bothcomposition and mixing were meh
Juan Perez
im using a fairly known preset synth patch in a song and it works perfectly. tweaking the parameters only makes it sound worse. am I garbaje if I keep it and submit it to a label
Ethan Moore
>am I garbaje nah
Nicholas Green
imo that's p bad. sorry :/
John Rivera

Jaxon Adams
are you using a noise gate ? I think some regular light palm muting would make it sound better.
Wyatt Johnson
I don't I mute the fuck out of it with both hands
Christopher Thomas
Trying out my first MIDI keyboard. I have to figure out why is the moderate velocity on it so quiet.
Also, I don't notice much latency when I play, but when I try to layer something on top of it, I can see how fucked up it is. It could potentially be problematic.
that's some tight muting then I feel like it kinda breaks the groove sometimes
Jordan Martin
yeah, drop that shit to 32 samples ...and hope it won't fuck up
I see, I'll try a less 'aggressive' version
Levi Ortiz
I'm as green as grass when it comes to production. I have two major questions.
Can anyone help me figure out why my Antares plug-in is not being recognized in Logic Pro X. Additionally, is there a way to record while I am messing around in the plug-ins like a modulation pedal or whatever? I'd like to record the effect of going from one level to another.
Thanks
Nicholas Robinson
I'm currently studying music and prod in college. I opened a soundcloud user with all my projects and homework assignments, tho theyre randomly ordered and I doubt any of you would want to torture theirselves with listening to all of it.
So here's my latest project (for Synthesis course). I had to make a finished track with all instruments but vocals and beat (optional) being synthesizers. What do you think?
I don't really like djent but this is quite decent
Ayden Morris
>Additionally, is there a way to record while I am messing around in the plug-ins like a modulation pedal or whatever? I'd like to record the effect of going from one level to another. It's called automation and i don't know shit about logic
Jordan Green
first problem: no idea, I stay the fuck away from logic and AU plugins
second: two options - 1. do as says and record automation of the parameters you're fiddling with, so basically the next time you play back the plugin remembers what you did 2. just route the output of the track you're playing with to another channel instead of the master bus and record the outcome there simultaneously
Noah Adams
ok. I'll look it up. Thanks.
Cameron Jenkins
I just got Logic because I thought it was decent. What software should I look into using on a Mac. I have plasticity at this point.
Aaron Stewart
>2. just route the output of the track you're playing with to another channel instead of the master bus and record the outcome there simultaneously Interesting never thought of doing that

sounds like Gru guitar is abnormally too loud btw, but I like the riff , go for it.

i just know i wont be able to afford one
Xavier Williams
if they are in the boutique series, they will probably be priced similarly
Jackson Torres
Two tracks that I've mastered and gotten to a good point. Any critiques?
I only listened to the first one. It's pretty cool, but I don't like your drums : the kick and the claps feel too simple, as if you didn't put any effect on them. Maybe that's the feeling you wanna give, but I'd advise making it more complex. Also, it's a bit too repetitive, you could maybe cut the intro and a few transitions.
Nice atmospherics though.
Adam Jones

Colton Perry
Thanks for the feedback. I think variation in the kick pattern at some points and adding percussion throughout the song will give it the complexity it needs.
Robert Morgan
>wonky >pop
what's it like?
Jaxon Davis
I can reduce my buffer to 6ms, but my notes are still off when I play with a keyboard. It's annoying to have to reposition every single note in a pattern after I record it.
What do?
I know it's more natural when off the grid, but I can't layer anything with this latency.
Is this normal or what? How do you deal with this?
how intricate is the shit you're trying to play? i can work with 9ms overall latency without really getting too affected by it
Lincoln Rodriguez
It's not really the complexity that matters, I just can't hit the notes on the beat, or when I play drums, for example, I see it in the piano roll afterwards and it can be up to 2 semiquavers off. But when I play I don't notice it that much. Maybe I just have to get used to this and it will get better. I don't have this problem with normal piano so it's not like I suck or something.
Colton Peterson
what do they actually teach you guys..?
I mean it doesn't sound terrible I just got bored- then again idk what they're critiquing you on
Julian Hall
is there really know quantification in your daw............
i know it's annoying but if you're recording midi it's an easy fix
Luke Long
We just learned synthesis from scratch, starting from basic wave forms and oscillators, through the different parameters, LFOs, different types of synthesis (FM, Wavetable, Granular, etc.). It's pretty basic level but the gist of the project was showing control over sound design and correct use of different synthesizers.
