>/prod/ wiki - still looking for contributors mu-sic-production.wikia.com There's a severe lack of DAW descriptions in the wiki. If you're good with your tool of choice, consider writing a paragraph about it.
Remember to use clyp.it to post your tracks/WIP: posting a clyp.it is just providing sound for a question, posting a Soundcloudlink is making self-advertisement and the thread doesn't need that.
Remember to check other peoples' clyp.it links to keep the thread healthy.
Every time I get a device or plugin I read the manual in extremely close detail. I always find that it doesn't explain everything in depth and it assumes pre-existing knowledge on the user's part in a few areas.
Can anyone recommend me some books that get into every nook and cranny of mixing tools? Ones that teach not just the basic concepts but also explain idiosyncrasies and tricks etc
Humbly requesting anyone who is good with microphones. Not sure if it's apparent in the clyp but I can't figure out volume levels for guitar. Too high gives me horrible innate whitenoise and background static. Just a hair under max gain gives me this volume, still with static. I'm not sure if my equipment or set up is causing it.

i really would like to get the roland 500 modular but ive never used a modular synth and wanted to know what sequencer youd reccomend for it, i figured i might get it and play around with learnibg how to make patches even though it would just be trial and error of connecting the modules any advice on a good cv sequencer and is it stupid to buy this if ive never made a patch on a modular setup? also this is the synth sweetwater.com/store/detail/System500-CS
Probably a stupid question, but does anyone know if the 48v Phantom Power on the Scarlett 2i4 is on both inputs or only 1? I'm just wondering because theres only 48v button and its on the right.
Asher Wright
modulars aren't hard to use
just get some expert sleepers kit to integrate it with your DAW
Blake Peterson
do i have to have a cv sequencer to hear what a patch sounds like though? like on a keyboard if i dobt have any keys pressed i can hear what my synth patch sounds like
Jose Edwards
I'm thinking of getting this. Good idea?
Hudson Martin
you can turn up vca initial gain to hear it drone retrigger the envelopes with an lfo to the envelope gate input probably

this thread isn't for promoting your music, it's for feedback on the production lad

Nathan Harris
Something I've been working on. What do you lads think?
It's good but repetitive, even for the style you're going for.
Price according to how much he will make from it.
Ian Brooks
Can someone help me out on whether it's worth shelling out for a used DX7 or DX Reface over the Volca FM synth?
What parameters would I be missing out on? How much juice/sound variety could I squeeze out of the Volca compared to the classic synth itself?

Zachary Foster
just stop these threads, literally babys first beat every single one of you. its laughable.
Brandon Rodriguez
What are your levels recording at when you hit the DAW?
If the bulk of the signal (usually the "inner green" part) is hovering around -18dbfs, you should be fine. You should have your microphone input gain set at a point that gives you a signal reading that hovers around -18 on the DAW when you play. If this requires so much input gain that you hear noise, back it off and record the loudest signal you can without noise. You can always make the signal louder with gain plugins, compression, and layering. Just try playing at a volume that gives you a strong -18dbfs signal and you should be fine. There really isn't a benefit to recording hotter than that--you just introduce noise and potential clipping on peaks.
Jacob Reyes
this. Just give up guys, If your technical skills aren't on par with professionals within 1 year just give up.
Jeremiah Johnson
>tfw you realize most producers known for their sound design are actually talentless hacks who use a synth from a company that has zero marketing. Keep lining the pockets of NI and Xfer though good goyim.
And no, I'm not mentioning the synth.
Cooper Reed
>70472538 >clyp.it/tc2lksh1 Add chords at the at like the :35 mark. It sounds like a loop.
I really like this track I made a while ago, opinons?
Cooper Hernandez
Why do so many of you guys like Abelton? Session View is a useless meme. Just use Fl Studio Logic or Protools.
Luis Thompson
Why do people say Reason is shit? Do they just not want to read the manual and do everything through dragging audio around?
Ian Wilson
clyp.it/defuxzlj does anyone think this has promise? I know a lot of it is just objectively kind of fucked up as is, this was done in the middle of the night when super high and i totally forgot existed until i stumbled upon it today and adjusted it a little bit
>trippy >hip-hop >trap >electronic >piano improv >dont really know what to call it, just stupid trippy shit
Liam Harris
nice digits but ur fucking wrong lol. Everyone uses omnisphere.
Logan Gutierrez
FL12 is the shit
Eli Gonzalez
Did you find a preset on something that sounded a bit like a song then typed that bullshit out and posted no proof because ppl would say you were autistic
Hunter Carter
Maybe you should stop getting high user, it obviously isn't helping with your music production.
Kevin Diaz
Exactly, my main problem is with Abelton. Just seems like people use it just to be different rather it providing anything useful. The piano roll sucks and it takes many steps to do something that's easily done in fl 12.
Noah Smith
Nope, contrary to babbie belief on here, there are more synths than sylenth1, serum and massive.
It's completely organic, it doesn't sample anything but sounds so real and life like.
sounds like you're talking to yourself about some bullshit, because you're stupid
Matthew Long
before fl12, I always felt inferior (used fl9, then 10 for a good while). but I actually feel like I'm using a real (not to say fl was never "real" but u get me) daw with 12 if you know what I mean
Jose Reyes
5/10, would be strong 6 if not for the crazy clipping all over the place, unless that's like the A E S T H E T I C you were going for or some shit, but it sounds really fucked up but u could mix/master it better and i think it would be pretty cool
Brody Hughes
Reason is a groovebox on steroids why don't people get this
Connor Price
how's this for production?
Nolan King
thats like asking if you should use a ceiling fan for mowing your lawn.
Henry Wilson
it's really that bad?
Asher Cox
i have no idea, but since you can make beats with your fucking phone these days youll do just fine with that thing.
Logan Barnes
Anything by Apple is going to be overpriced for what you get with it.
Hudson Garcia
What would you use then? An ultrabook?
Dylan Collins
hey /prod/
just started my latest foray into production a few weeks ago and was wondering if anyone had any tips for making a good drum'n'bass hihat roll?
I can never seem to get mine to sound good, i just don't have any sense for rhythm in a music program.
Is it easier just to hook up a keyboard via midi and let one flow from the fingertips or is there a better means of doing it?
Josiah Campbell
Yeah. Download the Amen break sample and put it in a slicer. Problem solved.
Matthew Mitchell
I mean i guess but that just feels so 1992
I've kind of been having fun just hand crafting shit, even if its pretentious garbage that sounds like ass
I'm just hoping that I keep having fun with it and maybe get to a point where I feel like sharing some of this trite
Carter Thompson

Juan Powell
Posted in the wrong thread.
Gavin Lewis
Download Ohmicide too. Put it on the Amen break and fuck around with it. Trust me. Ohmicide takes some getting used to though.
I bought an SM57 yesterday to start recording my guitar amp.
My amp does not have reverb on it, how can I add reverb to the microphone itself? Should I run it into a pedal before it connects to the interface or use DAW reverb? Theres no effects loop on the amp so I'm not going to use a pedal with that.
Justin Walker
i highly recommend this. i have 8gb ram on my pc and all hell unleashes when i have more than a single instance of serum running at the same time with more than 9 voices per.
Michael Jenkins
You probably have a shit CPU because I have 8GB RAM too and occasionally have over 10 instances on Serum running in my project.
Luis Howard
i5 4670k
ive no problems with using multiple serum, its just that if i use multiple instances with 16 voices on A and B i fuck myself over.
but i usually run my google chrome on the background so could be that too.
Leo Thomas
Does anyone have a good guide about getting music with samples cleared by the copyright owners?
>2 upcoming songs >first song uses samples from an old RnB song >second song uses samples from a movie
Anthony Clark
could understand if user was using some non clyp music sharing site that sucks but youtube is pretty handy.
>can play the song in the actual thread by clicking on "embed"
Jack Allen
you only have to pay NI and Xfer if you actually tell the world what you are using.
Parker Miller
>clearing your samples why tho
Jack Flores
the off chance that i get a record deal
Brody Russell
it would be easier and most cost effective to just give those songs away for free/promo
Jordan Adams
thats the plan... my fear is that they will find it and jew away my youtube ad revenue.
Gabriel Moore
>promotion >making profit
choose one retard
Adrian Powell
plenty of musicians have made livings off uncleared samplings. four tet, burial, any plunderphonics artist, probably flylo, maybe doom, etc.
Brody Brown
except major labels don't take risks like that...
Aaron Lewis
but youtube does both you silly nigger
Luke Young
Are there any cheap synthesizers like the microbrute that are POLYPHONIC?
The microbrute would be perfect if it wasn't mono
Brody Wilson
>tfw you just downloaded 7000 more presets for your synth today
Christopher Kelly

Is that an early invention of the lathe? This

1100 plays in one day
also just created my best track again gonna upload
Nathan Parker
I know this is more of a DJ thing but what is your opinion about NIs Stems format for Traktor?
Is it the future of DJing or just some fad NI came up with to get market share?
Angel Martin
Well the trend is making things simpler for plebs. Soon mastering and eventually mixing will be automated
