Don't know if I'm under qualified to start a /prod thread but I didn't see one so here we go.
Ask questions, give people advice on their crappy clyp.its, especially me, you know the drill.
Let's do it!

Try swapping between major and harmonic minor chords sometime.
Leo Adams
I bought Audio Technica ATH-M70x and they're literally quieter than my Sennheisers. Also the extension cable I bought on the website doesn't even fit into the headphones...
What headphones should I buy then? I just want loud headphones that don't leak sound, prince range 300£

Oooh I really like how this sounds

how much detail will i lose in voice/field recordings if i pass them to v0 (from .wav)?
Gavin Reyes
none, you only lose detail if you convert to a lossy format, not from.
Jordan Bennett
.wav is lossy?! How the heck? It's marked as the highest quality on all voice recorders I tried on Android. I guess it's good enough, still?
Even so, wouldn't this be transcoding then? Which means I'd be losing some?
Parker Powell
Sorry, misread it as pass from v0 to wav. Transients will smear and high-frequency information will go away. Best to avoid.

is this supposed to be an attempt at explaining cadences? lol wtf

Need some links on how to write music so people can stop making "minimal techno" and basslines to sampled jazz records in the wrong key.

Adam Neely and Micheal New are the best in my opinion, Holistic Songwriting's a little more about how to become a pop star, and SamuraiGuitarist's teaching videos aren't that common but when he does them they're nice.
Aaron Moore
Oh, alright! Well, these aren't my "final vocal tracks" or anything like, they're actually rather poorly recorded sounds by default. Just whenever I'm out I start recording the atmosphere, people talking to me, commerce on the street, the sound of rain, songs played inside a mall, entering a party, stuff like that, "field recordings", but just with a cellphone. It's been adding up real quick in size, and I can't deal with the space being as it is, specially since it grows steadily. So, do you think recordings like these would worsen much by going to v0? I've been recording them on "WAV - 44100 Hz" so far. The other formats the recording app has are "MP4 44100 256 Kbps" and "MP4 22050, 64 Kbps". Which one do you think is a good compromise on size/quality?

just 2 things i'm working on, havent been on /prod/ in months, would love some feedback on either
thanks

enjoyed this for a while but found myself skipping to see if it changes up
Jose Green
would really appreciate an extra pair of ears if anybody has some spare time
Jace Robinson
>clyp.it
lol wtf i actually enjoyed that
i don't think the color of the drums is all the way there.... they should be crackly and dusty or more hi fi... I really dig this tough.
what's going on with the guitars? I have an idea of how to do something similiar with Sampler in ableton but i'm curious as to how you did it.
I was about to take a break from writing for today but that gave me some motivation thx man
Camden King
oh also the second one... first couple minutes are kind of boring to me. I think the beat repeats could use variation. Theres a way to trigger random variations of an effect with a chain without max or anything but i forget :(
last part was a lot cooler
Benjamin Rivera
>clyp.it
i like where this is going but i think you should make it evolve more, at some point it gets too repetitive
>clyp.it
i really liked it, only critique would be the bass that goes in at 1:50, its kind of too dry for the rest of the thing, as the track changes it kind of blends in but i think specially at the beginning it cuts too much through the mix, made it sound to me like the whole mix was an entity and the bass was another, if that makes sense
Daniel Brooks
were you the guy who posted about being depressed about not finishing a lot a week or two (maybe longer) ago?
Liam Taylor
nope, isn't that a running copypasta doe
i did post this track a few times doe, everytime i hit a creative block with it i try get some feedback, i don't even know if i like it anymore, but i still want to finish it
Jayden Adams
5 seconds in its unlistenable because of highs
Kevin Hill
dont listen to this pussy obviously only listens to trap or some other pop garbage
i dont fuck with it but im sure there are people out there who do. mix is pretty decent though
Dylan Edwards
Hey, i'm using reaper to make electronic music with live instruments, tycho - esque. Has anyone done this? If anything as a challenge? After playing around with reaper for about a month, it seems extremely capable.
Daniel Perez
also, how would I go about creating stems in reaper? Just splice a section of the audio and turn it into it's own wav file?
Josiah Clark
new tsuruda album HYPE!
Adrian Scott
i used sampler too, LFO on sample start on a long audio clip, and then maybe 32nd notes?
Parker Collins
lmao that's exactly how i was going to do it
turns boring guitar lines interesting :p

Shit, sorry dude, I'm sure you have some very important clyps to attend to. Shame on me for trying to spark actual discussion on the production community

MY BAD COMRADE
rip does sound interesting... what's your favorite album/songs?
David Morales
rip is def his best work to this date. 'The revolution' and 'where did the shrooms go' have inspired me to no end. Him and flylo are my two biggest inspirations for sure
Actually on that note, this is some shit that I posted a wip of earlier here, andI just finished it a few days ago. How well do you think I'm mirroring them lol
clyp.it
Nicholas Sullivan
at 0:35 it seems like the songs "starts" and there should be a new rhythmic element
transition should be a lot quicker / interesting
the second half mirrors flylo a bit in the percussion yeah.
Didn't care for that rapping sample, xylophone(?) sounds too unrelated imo; that + a lot of these samples are a little too lofi. Kick in the first half could be better imo
Cool song definitely, I like it man. Idk flylo outside of LA and Cosmogramma so i'm not sure if this is a great imitation of those two or not
Adam Ward
thanks dude that's super helpful. I'll return the favor if you got anything
Leo Jackson
Anyone recommend a pitch manipulating vst for instruments
Colton Brooks
WELL you can listen to this if you like :^)
the drums are dry and i've decided to do something completely different with vocals lol; if you've got any opinions or something's glaringly wrong i'd appreciate hearing it
Owen Wright
any pitch manipulation is going to sound like shit to some level. That and it's a terribly overused gimmick. I suggest NOT doing that.
Ian King
lol
can your daw not do that natively..?
Jack Gray
>can your daw not do that natively?
He probably used his DAW's pitch shifter and realized it sounded like shit and destroyed the wav files. Then thought it was just because HIS vst is crap. When in reality pitch shifting destroys the audio.
Samuel Campbell
>get this captcha
Mason Edwards
you good man?
Blake Reed
I don't see whats so outlandish.
Brandon Turner
kk just checkin
Caleb Rivera
How do you know when a track is good enough to let out?
Luke Lopez
when you listen to it, and its good.
Josiah Moore
thanks
Jacob Hughes
your synth sounds are fucking cool as hell that's pretty much all I can say.
>the drums are dry
Yeh those shouldn't be the final drums they're lacking polish
Evan Howard
thanks :p
Brandon Jenkins
never posted in /prod/ but holy fucking shit dude that image is absolutely gorgeous. i wish had enough money to commission the artist to do one of my album covers.
on an unrelated note since i'm in here, here's some dungeon synth i've been working on. if anyone's actually interested i would love to hear any feedback that you're willing to give
David Miller
Opinions on the Roland System-1?
I'm trying to find a good synth on a budget and this came up on local Craigslist. Looked up some demos and I liked what I heard but I need it for live performances and the small range is throwing me off
Jonathan Kelly
bog bump
Gabriel Rivera
what DAW do you use
Levi Martinez
DubTurbo

SCI drumtraks one of the more underrated drum machines.
Jack Reyes
It's actually killer. It's the only one of the early drum machines with a variable clock oscillator per channel that allows pitch and amplitude to be sequenced per hit.
Tyler Lee
i love it personally it has that definitive 80s sound imo
Anthony Reed
Well it wasn't really used all that much compared to the DMX or Linn.
Still an important Juan Atkins machine though.
Logan King
Do write your baselines with your left hand or right hand?
Parker Miller
Found this thing, once I get under control itll be good
Connor Parker
What does the splice part do
Aiden Brown
It changes how the pitch modulates, smooth to rough, sort of granular synthesis without really sound like that. the whole effect is a play around and eventually I end up somewhere ok without knowing exactly how at this point
Nathaniel Parker
Oooooh
In guitar rig there's an emulation of that digitech whammy but it can't do that
What is this?
Samuel Morgan
Seems to be a glitch effect but I'm treating it as a subtle delay phase chorus weird stuff you don't hear much
Nolan Cox
Pretty much any pitch shifter is splicing together a bunch of segments of the sounds played either faster or slower. The Whammy is meant to work on monophonic sounds with the lowest latency possible, so it's splicing only single waveform periods. I don't think you'd want to mess with this in that case; it wouldn't really sound good.
Jacob Brown
hey guys i wanted to ask and see if i could get help here. i downloaded Keyscape and already have Omnisphere 2 working and all up to date, and Keyscape will load and the sounds will show up, but when i select them they won't play, this error pops up with all of them. anyone know what i could do?
Henry Roberts
buy it
Easton Ramirez
can someone give me some advice on how to make this bass synth that starts at :49? ive tried a low passed filtered detuned saw with a stepper controlling the filter cut off, saw wave with slight detuning with another saw wave pitched lower for more bass with the same filtering. i just cant get it. my sounds have to much buzzing from the high end of a saw wave even with Eqing. the synth sounds perfect i can't get it
