What day is this
clyp.it
i know nothing abt composition! its a crazy adventure, and i learn new things everyday, its a lot of fun.
say, if i were playing in C major, and i tuned a melodic synth to +600 cents, would it make sense musically? or would it just be pitched to another key? thx
You would just make it higher by 6 semitones.
yeah. does that make sense to compose with in c major though? sorry i am literally so bad with music. i was also horrible with math in high school and it kind of feels similar
>bad with pitch
>bad with math
why are you doing this?
i jst want to hack you in the fucking jaw
yeh you'd be playing in f sharp maj
dont be a douche
100 cents is the same as one semitone
fat
Speech Therapy, new album I'm working on. Already done first song but don't need any more feedback on it.
can you get drum machines from china or something
i wanna record live instead of sitting in studio space for two generations to get a fucking beat done
Look for shitty old ones on ebay like a Boss Dr Synth or something
Is Ableton Live 9 good? It's been a while since I used a DAW but the last one I used was 8.2.2.
Should I get the new one?
FL Studio is easier but more simple. Ableton is hard but has more HQ synths and VSTs.
sounds dope i got this band space nearby and though about just plugging the retro shit to loudspeakers, playing 5-10 minutes and calling it a soundcloud/clyp.it/bandcamp upload
i dont think ableton is really that hard once you understand the routing and how to move things back and forth between session and clip view and how to do automation in either one
Do it
also warping/sampling/resampling
those are the cornerstones of ableton
This is what happens when I get a case of the vibes and just start jamming. Kind meandering, but I'm enjoying making it. I can tighten it up and make it a bit more focussed later.
Any feedback?
production tips?
clyp.it
working with some mediocre headphones.
does it sound too flat?
does anyone have a tape/cassette deck in their studio? how do you apply it in your studio?
So you can just play the white keys and. Pt have to stay in c major? Yeah, do what you got to do, but itll probably hinder you later on not to learn how to play in other keys. Learn intervals, thats a way to cheat it.
any feedback/comments on this would be appreciated.
Ive been using fl studios since 2007(only started getting serious with it since 2013), would it make sense to move to ableton now that im realizing my limitations with fl. I mostly do hip hop beats, but i also program drum tracks for stuff like rock and funk tracks, where recording live instruments work best. I do my recording in pro tools with an exported midi usually using 3rd party synths or sample libraries.
I really like the ease of fl studio, you can change up structure very quickly, but i dont see many people using it anymore unless they strictly do hip hop, which I dont. I dont plan on making any edm in the immediate future, but its definetly likely i will down the road.
you said you don't need any
don't usually make music like this, mixed this in February and I'm coming back to it. recs on free trumpet/brass au's? I think it could benefit from some brass
I have that same reel to reel. It's the shit. I bounce tracks to it from my mixer and cut them up. I like the way it makes my tracks sound. gives them an imperfection that I enjoy.
Plus it's fun to handle your tunes in a tactile way. I think it's given me a better understanding of mixing, because it's easy to make a tape recording sound shitty, hard to make it sound tight.
word. I found it for pretty cheap on cl but the dude hasn't responded yet, and I want it so bad. I'm mainly interested for putting saturation on bass and drums, but also want to experiment with recording vocals on it/use it as an outboard delay effect. how's it to maintain?
The saturation is great. I do that a lot. I haven't used it as much for single track recording (mostly just mixdowns) but I bet it would still sound great.
I got mine in great condition so maintenance has been simple so far. I wipe the heads with isopropyl (preferably 90%) almost every time I use it.
The main issue I've found is finding good tape. Read up on "sticky shed" if you don't already know about it. I think like 60% of all the tape made between the 60s-80s has this problem. It's a total pain in the ass that can be avoided if you get the right tape. (I'm still trying to find some)
so the tape on amazon that's fairly inexpensive sucks? How long does a reel last you, personally? Maybe look into the tape they sell at vintageking audio, it's fairly expensive ($74 for 1/4'' tape), but it might be worth it.
I don't know too much about reel to reels yet, but what exactly is the difference between the mic input and the RCA inputs in the back? does the mic input hit a preamp before, and the RCA not? Makes me wonder if vocals/anything would have an entirely different characteristic through the mic input vs the RCA input
I actually like this, you need some highs though. Add a pad/string/shaker in there
I'm still erasing and reusing the only reel I have that doesn't shed. I should definitely get a new reel though.
The mic inputs are the only malfunctioning part on my machine, so I can't say. Probably not too different though. I think the tape itself will be the main factor that determines the color of your sound, provided your machine works fine.
Tape machines are like film cameras, working in time rather than space. They give back what you give them. You have to practice making a tape mix sound good very much like taking a good photograph. A bad mix will still sound bad on tape.
But they are fun as hell to use. And once you run a mix through it, now you're analog.
Just got a pair of monitors, and I hearing a white noise coming from it. I'm using TRS cables instead of xlrs to connect it to the aux on my computer, is this whats causing it?
I was just assuming that the mic input would make a much hotter signal than the rca, but it sounds like it's not a problem. Guess I'll find out at some point.
So are you sending individual tracks through the tape, the entire mix, or both? Do you process a track, run it through the machine, then process again? Link me to some of your work if you've got some to share
was trying to make le epic trap
the problem is i don't have monitors
there is no hard or easy daw
they just work in different ways
Where do you place the lowest note on your bass?
i.e: I'm writing in C major, the lowest note of the bassline is D2, but since I decided the lowest note on bass should be E2, I transpose everyting two semitones up thus playing in D major.
I'm usually at about D4
an old song. I was trying to experiment with pushing the tape.
For my OTHER track, not the one I linked, sorry for the confusion.
That's pretty high considering the lowest note on a bass guitar is E2.
Sounds like it's distorting and it lacks structure.
If it helps it is just the hook and the outro but if the structure is still bad please explain in more detail why? Any other feedback for the song?
My bass guitar is a vst
E4 played by a vst will have the same frequency that an E4 played on a bass guitar, at least there are multiple oscillators in different octaves.
>tfw flat headphones and I didn't notice my recording was all fucked
It's hard to give constructive criticism because I have no frame of reference for this type of music. What kind of style are you trying to emulate?
How the fuck do i make anything using the black keys on my keyboard? I can only use white keys because if not it just don't sound right. What the fuck
git gud
So, I''ve been trying to give everyone feedback and now I'd like to know what do you guys think about this.
I made it out of nowhere and I'd like to listen to music like this to get some inspo, what genre could be this?
What are you EQing?
youtube.com
how do I get a sound like this?
Sounds like an Empire of the Sun song. What ever genre they are.
Non-generic EDM
Not entirely the music I would listen to, but damn you mixed it well. Sounds really organic. I'm assuming you were running at 7 1/2 ips. Noticeable drop in fidelity recording in 3 1/2 ips
More specifically progressive house.
Any specific artists?
Deadmau5, No Mana, Draft, Blackgummy
Well, start with the basics, the kick and the bass.
The bass-y sound you have sounds a bit out of place, too wide in the stereo field and as if there is reverb on it.
The other sounds, apart from kick and bass, should be highpassed so they don't muddy up the bass frequencies. Also, try putting some sidechain on the effecty things so they duck whenever the kick hits.
I've tried to make some EDM too but I always end up with a repetitive 16 bar loop and never make anything out of it
clyp.it
stopped caring lol
transpose the keyboard a half step and keep playing the white notes.
>non-generic EDM
Yes, it is possible you meme loving retard.
Thanks for the feedback, it really helps when people give it in detail.
I didn't know about them, I might grab an idea or two from this song I'm listening right now.

Synth + drum machine recorded through an fx pedal, there's not much I can do at the moment besides EQing the master.
>clyp.it
awesome track, but it sounds like everything thru the master buss was being processed by a tin can.
Found sounds, and lots of tape delay
>clyp.it
squashed/limited as all F..
I used a really dirty tape emulation on the master bus because I like the way it sounds, but I know I've got serious issues mixing-wise, mostly because I'm mixing on cans. Thanks for the feedback, man.
Name examples.
Protip: you can't because you are just parroting
Learn theory fag
I don't really know what I'm doing
FL is for meme producers doe.
my attempt at this genre
im saying "this genre" because i dont know what genre this falls under
it starts getting good after 1:20
do you have a soundcloud or something?
Why?
>ITS JUST ISxd
yee
soundcloud.com
Don't like to shill it here that often but eh why not
The use of FL Studio is for memelords like you that slow down Japanese commercials for vaporware Bandcamp releases, that is how it is easier than Ableton.
But I use FL Studio too so who am I to speak ill of a fellow user?
>making vaporwave "music"
You should find a different hobby.
fuck you i'll do what this man says aiight!
Nah but thanks for the offer! :)
Please do, there is already enough trash.
>clyp.it
An especially shitty and annoying version of Starfucker with no creative drums, leads, or backing tracks.
Shouldn't you be doing something more with your time other than wasting it on me?
XD
Last /prod/ was pretty good, please don't start DAW flaming now.
Just started working on this one
...
lul
thoughts?
If u want feedback on something, reply and link it. I'll get back to you when i can
london? That you?
>clyp.it
dope
Have you ever heard about the mono utility?
Try playing outside of c major and a minor
made a house beat with some funky synths. should I finish this?
no
lmao, I wish. thanks for the compliment tho
thanks
