Jordan Ramirez
okay, posted this on the old thread but didnt get anything due to tall the autism going on there
>170bpm something
danke
Wyatt Parker
sounds like its at 85beats
Ethan Thomas
it's half-time
what difference it makes, idk
Jeremiah Martin
What do you guys think of the song I just finished up?
Asher Howard
I'm sure ppl itt must be sick of this question, but it's a technique that still eludes me...
How the fuck do you make that FlyLo / Brainfeeder / LA beat-style synth sound?
e.g.
youtube.com
or
youtube.com
>3:23
Like, it's a supersaw with multiple voices, right?
Or a saw and a triangle?
And then what - a pitch envelope slowly detuning it up or down?
And it must be a 9th Chord of some variation
But every time I try to recreate it in any synth it always sounds flat/empty
What am I not seeing here?
Logan Adams
I recently realised that despite liquid drum and bass being one of my favourite genres I never really make a lot of liquid dnb tracks!
So today I tried making one

Tell me what you think anons.

I found this on the official ableton forum
>I have run the test. Their is an music industry secret. I have Proof!
>Listen to the ableton track on Youtube. (the track that they use to advertise ableton)
>compared to the track first track you have, the first time you logged into the ableton program.
>(for those who dosnt have this track, try reinstalling ableton) Listen to the youtube one(wich is mastered by pros) it must be same volume and now listen to the Ableton one the first time you open Ableton Program after install. Notice anything?
>Well i do !the youtube track is more thumpy, and compressed, it reaches another level of overall volume .
>while the one that opens in ableton the first time after install sounds good , but not even close .
>So fuck what you guys heard. Their is a music industry secret they dont want ous to know about..
>All that money wasted on tutorials, all that time reading how to mix and bla bla bla, everything is misleading , you already know how to mix, you just need to know the right poeple in the industry or get the secret from them. and this is the truth
I read it three times and still can't get his fucking point, but I'm afraid I'm wasting my time
William Walker
>the youtube track is more thumpy, and compressed, it reaches another level of overall volume .
I don't know what the fuck they're moaning about - they've already worked out what has been done to the Ableton demo song after the mixdown stage. No secret there.
Grayson Martinez
Here's the last track I worked on, any suggestions? opinions?
Bentley Collins
Any suggestions on how to sort a bunch of synths? I was thinking a shoe rack from ikea but I can't find a good one.
Jaxson Ramirez
superglue them to the wall
Sebastian Butler
Thanks.
Mason Barnes
Use wood screws into a 2x4. Mount 2x4 to the wall with picture hooks

Definitely doesn't sound 170bpm, but I dig it. Main synth could use a little more body, but that lead that comes in around 1:30 sounds great.
I bit more leads could help fill the sound out, but it depends on where you want to go with it really.
>clyp.it
Sounds great, only thing that stood out to be was around 2:30 I feel that the vocals could be a little louder in the mix. What did you use for the lead guitar at 1:20? Sounds very Pink Floyd.
I think I heard a mistake around 0:24 as well, but could be wrong.
Sounds like a sawtooth and some fairly aggressive filtering. Might be a bit of square in there, I'd have to get my synth out to hear it out.
>clyp.it
I listened to it a few times. You've got a great sound going. The bass drum stands out a bit though, it sounds a little boxy with a bit of flub in the trail. Other than that the piano and bass both sound fantastic.
Closest I ever got to making DnB was years ago. Found a clip. Sounds terrible lol.

I want to add vocals in some parts to this but don't want it to get super crowded. I know I'll have to relax the brass a bit but is there anything else I should do to keep the general sound the same. Pads, leads low in background, etc?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Old clip is first. New one is second, but I'm not really happy with how it is sounding so I'll probably go back and change a lot.
Adrian Ross
Any advice on finding singers to work with? I'm living in a studenty area so I thought it would be easy finding people up for it but apparently not
Jason Morris
Sound pretty amazing. Composition and production-wise. Mix is very pleasant, but a little quiet though. Still, everything in the mix sits well and flows great. Every instrument and the vocals sound top notch. Great job recording everything, bravo!
Anyway this is a very nice rock ballad (I think). Would buy your album dude. If it was a little louder I might have mistaken it for a professional track.
Josiah Wilson
Oh, you're the disco italo guy, right? I remember listening to your stuff a couple months back.
As for the songs, they sound a little thin I guess? I'm not sure if that's what they're supposed to sound like within this genre, but I'd at least add some more stereo width to some of the tracks, like the pads.
Ethan Bennett
>Oh, you're the disco italo guy, right?
Probably isn't me, I've posted that clip a couple times but it's my first time posting in ages. Even then it was usually stuff like this:
clyp.it
>I'm not sure if that's what they're supposed to sound like within this genre
I'm shooting for more of a Toho style (the particularly Japanese sounding stuff) sound than SEB. That's also why I have the really transient attack.

>but I'd at least add some more stereo width to some of the tracks, like the pads.
Yeah automation is on the to-do list. I'll try adding in some pads later while I'm doing it and try and widen the sound up a bit. That should help compensate for the low end as well.
Thanks. Just need to work out how to clear some room for vocals now.
Camden James
Oh just to add, approaching vocals with a more SEB approach which should be easier to mix in.

i like that reverse thing and the juno ish lead
Jaxon Gutierrez
thanks. It's actually a remix of this anons song well at least the start of it
Juan Moore
Lead guitar around 1:20 is a telecaster run into a Goodsell custom 33, but through a leslie simulator much like gilmours tone, most of it is in the hands desu
Cooper Hughes
I have the loudness pushed quite a bit, I think I'm on the limit of what I can get from a home master, thinking about sending it off to get professionally mastered! But thanks my man! This was our first shot at real drums, lots of layers in this stuff
Charles Parker
clyp.it
I think the vocal bit is a bit too cheesey. I just really loved how it sounded with some spoken word behind it. I should have probably a chosen a sample that seems less consequential and less pseudo deep or something
Wyatt Ramirez
the guy just sounds confused to me he even says the youtube one is mastered
Caleb Carter
How do you guys feel about Nexus?
Been listening to a lot of Sam Gellaitry lately and I think he uses a lot of soundsources from it.
Matthew Taylor
nexus has some good sounds but theres no way in hell id ever pay for it
Isaac Howard
The synth in the first video has a lot of upper harmonics, there is probably 8 voices, plus a second saw wave oscillator one octave up
Dylan White
Just face it, you'll never be famous.
You aren't special, no matter what your mommy tells you when you finish showing her ur shitty track and she has to lie to stop you from killing yourself.
You will never be a rockstar, you will never pioneer into new genres, you will never get the cars, the money, the women, or the attention.
You will never have young girls getting wet when they are in your mere presence.
But it's not like you had a chance to begin with? Martin Garrix went to an elite school of musicianship and has been producing for over 10 years, and he's only 20. At 18 he was touring the world, fucking bitches and getting money for producing child's play, whilst you fail to produce a musically coherent 4 bar loop.
There are 1000's of producers like this, child prodigies just itching for a chance to show off their amazing work, and you honestly think you stood a chance? No, you don't even have the intellect required to be a producer, so even if you "grind"(cringe) you will get no where and will never finish anything.
By all means, keep feeding money to Native instruments and cymatics, but keep in mind your going to have to work 9-5 for the rest of your life, and probably put in a few extra hours a week to pay back your debts.
>inb4 Martin Garrix is bad.
No, as he gets more pussy than you and i'd prefer to listen to his shit over anything you have the courage to upload and call "music")
>inb4 "I just do it 4 fun xD"
You don't, stop lying to yourself. You secretly want to prove everyone wrong, but think people can't see through facade.

Kayden Murphy
Intro and build up is too slow. Add those hi-hats and sound layers in sooner.
That synth melody needs to repeat more, the time between each of it is too far apart.
You should keep the same rhythm, keep some of the same notes, but change up the notes. Keep the same amount of notes, keep the same rhythm, but just change up the notes a little.
Your snare rhythm isn't so bad.
Overall, it could use a little more sound effects like the stuff that comes in around 4:15; add a little more body to the piece.

You know, I might still not be very good at producing, mixing and mastering, but in the end - I think I'm not satisfied because my compositions are not good enough.
>recreated basic redbone from childish gambino with random sounds, without any mixing or effects
>still sounds good
I added 2 more melodic progressions after the original beat (0:25 and 0:51). The bass and drums are the same, I'm going step by step.
How would you compare them and why are they not good enough when compared to the original melody?
Ethan Price
Are you using XLR or jack?

Camden Perry
Useless thread, I'll try next time...
Alexander Richardson
The sound you're describing sounds roughly like what happens when you misuse a balanced cable by sending stereo audio into it (e.g. the left and right channel cancel each other out, creating a hollow/tinny sound). But it seems you're not using any balanced cables which is strange. What about that jack converter, is it stereo? Also, have you tried turning the mix knob all the way to the right?
