is this repetitive trash?
I need a USB audio interface. Needs to have 4 mic inputs (for drums) and 3 instrument inputs (for stereo synth and guitar). I can't spend more than $250.
I might be willing to only get a 2-mic setup but idk if I'll be happy with that. The main thing is I'm tired of switching cables all the time and I'd prefer to just have everything plugged in permanently. I think it would greatly increase productivity if I didn't have to change cables every time I want to record guitar after recording drums.
Does anyone have any suggestions? The Tascam 16x08 seems nice and has good reviews.
Looking for this
user from the last thread. Sorry, I fell asleep before you replied.
Airplane boredom and AUDACITY of all things
gotchu senpai
not too repetitive, but very loud. It sounds as though it was mastered at 0db with little to no headroom. I like the panning and pads in the track. The song sounds very wide, I would suggest lightening up on the bass drum's stereo width. Same goes for other percussion
not much I can say about this.
the looping is well done for audacity ( i know how much of a bitch it can be)
Lemme know what you guys think
clyp.it
reminder to describe your clyps a bit senpai
>clyp.it
>progressive
>psychedelic
You forgot the /prod/ in subject.
Thanks, I appreciate your feedback!
>clyp.it
I liked the second part, I think the vocals are little too quiet.
>clyp.it
I don't think your kick matches the rest of the song, it's a massive thud, whereas the synths and the piano are more laid back
yeah this is kinda good.
Would appreciate some feedback on this remix
I don't really know how to describe this desu.
clyp.it
Actually, I'm just gonna go ahead and post a way for you to contact me (not gonna post my email on here) because I'm probably not gonna be awake much longer. Just hit me up whenever.

>inb4 no soundcloud links
I like everything about this except the drums and the overall loudness. For drums, check out Superior Drummer (or EZdrummer if you want something simpler).
Bretty good! The mixing needs a little work but it has good dynamics. Work on the levels a little bit, that's all I gotta say.
Also, reposting this for last thread
>clyp.it
>trap
>childish gambino remix (kinda, the vocals are just a place holder)
Hey that's pretty good user i like it
The gestion of the volume around 2:11 is really weird
Particularly for the bass lick
I think the whole second part should be a bit louder, also >I liked the second part, I think the vocals are little too quiet.
While i'm only producing bleeps bloops i'm happy to hear non-electronic clyps in /prod/ desu
What can I add to this?
Thank you guys for the feedback!
I mixed and recorded that in Audacity and some additional work in Reaper. I bought Reaper a few weeks after mixing so I figured why not?
>clyp.it
Very good mixing, The track isn't too loud and the dynamics are where they should be
amazing use of panning too.
A down pitched vocal sample could be really cool. For example:
>soundcloud.com
>at 1:10
Idk
Maybe an acid sounding bass synth, creeping in response to the crescendo pad around 0:07
It's
>chill
Much appreciated lads, will try it out, anything I can feedback for you guys?
Much love. Thank you man. I meant the drop in volume to be there haha, I can see why its odd.
>I liked the second part, I think the vocals are little too quiet.
I am really not confident in my voice so its almost a challenge to push through that fear.
>Very good mixing
There's a secret to it I might be willing to tell. Thank you though!
This is me. Mainly just looking for feedback on the structuring. I feel like some parts don't flow but maybe it's just me.
>I am really not confident in my voice so its almost a challenge to push through that fear.
Yeah i understand, your voice is okay but not great
I understood that you meant the drop in volume but idk
Maybe make the beginning of the bass lick less loud and add some fx
Not right now i think
Secret to that mixing senpai?
I'm confident in my mixing in general, just can't get my head around trap. More of a strange interest in it rather than making it myself, care to share tips brother?
I feel like you could have a bit more processing on the rap vocals, like maybe excentuate some words with pitched down doubling? Also maybe a bit of distortion or bitcrushing? Give it a bit of edge?
how is this?
Flume is fag.
Skrillex here AMA
me
I would love to get feedback off of this one

>recorded at 4am whilst drunk and remembering how my last ex broke me
Juxtaposition. Very interesting use of chords paired with those vocal samples. The tremmy pad is really awesome.

Sup Forums keeps thinking my post is spam and won't let me reply.
how2fix
no idea mate, if you've got soundcloud, message me on there?
soundcloud.com
How much have you made from music?
Alright, I sent it on there.
Forgot I still had that image selected lel
>mfw i remember this good ol FL8 mixer
It's actually FL10, but I guess it didn't really change much over that time.
Also, what do with this?
>clyp.it
I guess it changed with 11 or 12
>Also, what do with this?
>>clyp.it
Contemplate a windy, cold landscape while remembering happy moments with friends and family
More seriously, no idea right now
What about 808s and air horns?
sure buddy
youtu.be
(go to 2:34 don't force yourself to listen to this shit)
Maybe a brush jazzy soft drum beat ?
it's the same in fl11
do you guys have some sound fonts similar to this
youtube.com
i love these melodies
sounds like stock everything
Okay so it got a skin change in fl 12
almost everything is vectorized now
>Not right now i think
but now yes
trip-something idk wip
I can sum up my feedback by "it's weird" t b h
Vocals are a pit too high in the mix, too piercing
The detuned synth parts are way too detuned
Your "rattling" percussion is strange
Say I made an EP with similar sounds, would you buy it?
>clyp.it
kinda cool, I didn't like the high pitched synth though, it sounded like a 3 year old playing the piano
I wasn't joking.
>clyp.it
>mfw it fits
Ah fuck I forgot the air horns. It does fit surprisingly well though, right?
Yeah
Here we go.
>clyp.it
Oh shit wrong one.
>clyp.it
Nah the airhorns sound too alien
a little bit of a rude question sunny boy laddy boy jim.
a lil.
It's a meme track. The stupider the better. How would you improve them though? Just find a better sample or put them somewhere else?
>The stupider the better.
delay on the horns ?
Also some kind of pitch-shifted vocal gimmick like the low "yeah" on tennis court
youtube.com
But even lower
Damn, you're a genius. Maybe add a "damn son, where'd you find this?" sample in there some where. I'll get on it.
In the meantime, I wanna hear everyone's earliest tracks. Doesn't have to be their first one, just one you made at the very beginning of your career.
Here's the oldn't one of mine I could fine:
>clyp.it
Fuck yeah, I can do that. Give me a sec.
>earliest tracks
i have so much tracks in my clyp account i can't be bothered to go back this far
i have trash i made on audiotool before i really got into music production but it's shameful t b h
I just like seeing how far people have come. You don't have the file on your computer anymore so you can just reupload it instead of scrolling through your clyp forever?
Lost most of my stuff with my computer ~nine month ago ago

I've already posted my most recent one in this thread. It's, uh, here towards the bottom.
You only started 3 months ago? Damn, you're learning fast.

Guilty /prod/ confession.
Sometimes I'll search my artist name and my most popular song on youtube just see what ridiculous videos people have used it for. (One of them is a parkour video with like 600k views lel.) I dunno why I do it.
Anyone else have /prod/ related guilty pleasures?
Daily reminder that this guy don't actually use fl
I like to mix with mono on Master bus.
You're a fucking degenerate.
How come?
I just mean, like, why on earth would you do that? Is there some sort of benefit to it or are you just mentally handicapped?
Enjoy your "wide" "mixes" amateur.
Thanks, but I need an actual interface, not a mixer with USB out. The mixer only outputs in two channels so I can't edit all the channels afterwards.
stereo is a meme
Hey flume reccomend me some start to finish tracks videos or some classes so I can learn.
Thx familia
like the other guy said, the drums can be a bit lower
the guitar sounds very nice though
well done for audacity
please check low en in this track, ok? deep bass is at 1:37. ty
Always had trouble with mixing, so I was wondering if you've got any pointers and tricks up your sleeve regarding sound and getting it consistent
soundcloud.com
I do different stuff, but have been incorporating vocals lately (which is new for me) so any tips on blending vocals would be great
Should I just scrap this or mix and master it properly?
no sc nigger
How do you get that crazy distorted sound without cutting out other instruments and limiting the fuck out of your track so it doesn't clip.
Do artists embrace the clipping to get that harsh sound?
you're supposed to call me a fag, not a nigger
post an example and I'll tell you however it always involved limiting and gaining the fuck out of the track
Disort what you want in mono, everything else put to stereo, this is the industry secret.
Screencap this before I delete the post.
lmao that's definitely an ok tip under specific circumstances such as if you want to distort something that's on the really low end but hardly an industry secret xd
It is, they are after me now help
youtube.com
Something like this. That harsh overall mixing that sounds like it's clipping.
there's not a whole lot going on at once. it's fast so it might give you the illusion that a lot is going on but it's all really fast and one comes after the other so they can distort all they want. they're just distorting their drums with a limiter on the master for the loudness.
That would make sense. I guess I'll just mix the way I have been to get that sound.
Something I'm working on -
Instumental hip-hop sampled from Porno music + Orgasm noises
I've written some dirty lyrics to it too ;)
whipped up some shit in a few min on my new laptop
operator core
Put two distortion effects on master and render.
I have a question for you /prod/ guys,
so I finally caved in and learned what is sidechain compression and how to set it up.
The problem though is that I have mostly seen tips to sidechain kicks and bass cause obviously they hide themselves BUT !
Is it the only worthly utilisation ? and if not how do you know what to side chain with what ? Using frequencies I guess but differents instruments / samples / vocals leads to differents frequencies and I feel like it would take a great amount of time to sidechain every parts of my drums for example with certain instruments / samples / vocals and so on...
TL;DR : is it worth it to do other sidechain compression than the kick and the bass ? (is it even worth it on non continue chord bass, like a live bass ?) do you sidechain other things than the drums ?
Weird dissonant noisey beat I've started.
Vocals and reverb for example
Sidechain compression is amazing, from the classic ducking effect to sidechaining that guitar when those vocals hit it's amazing both as an effect and as a utility.
