Post snippets using clyp.it OR instaudio. Soundcloud posters will be drawn and quartered. (Just kidding, getting angry about soundcloud posters is just plain silly. It won't stop them! But also, don't post soundclouds, this isn't the place for that. You just end up looking down syndrome retarded if you do. Retard.)
Only similar thing I know is axoloti, bought one but haven't used it yet as I have to put it in a case first. That said I also have a micro modular, but I would like more knobs and processing power (= more voices). MSP is too low level IMO, it's just annoying to use. Might as well do real programming at that point.

Niggas trying to use YouTube and downloads in the last threads wtf
Ethan Foster
Sorry, just copied it over from some archived thread.
Everything. Download some synths with good presets (serum, omnisphere) and drum samples and learn about synthesis and mixing. Watch a video or two. Also start getting used to basic effects. Reverb is your friend.
>tfw came up with the single best musical idea I've had in my 8 years of producing >too afraid to start working on it incase I fuck it up
Cameron Baker
Not both?...
Jonathan Bennett
You can always start it again if you don't like it.
Tyler Lewis
clyp.it/hzbyixps can you guess what song I ripped of the chord progression from because I'm utterly uninspired?
Xavier Green
hey just wondering what /prod/ does now that we can't upload files larger than 25mb to clyp without a paying sub? That really fucked me.
Nicholas Gonzalez
compress?
Matthew Price
Now sure how to. I always bounce in wav. 44.1 and songs that i used to upload to clyp I cant anymore. I don't really want to upload a compressed mp3 file.
Evan Baker
25mb of 320kbps mp3 is like 10 minutes worth of music, you don't need better quality for clyp demos.
Ethan Reed
youtu.be/Dcy25od869k How would you create the vocal effect at 1:35 (on the laugh sample) in ableton?
Almost done this track, need some secondary opinions on the song structure/arrangement. Also want to know if this tune appeals to anyone here, as I am not sure what genre it is. Any feedback is welcome and helps. Thank you
Noah Young
would this benefit from a 250hz cut and/or a highs boost?
at least I feel like my work is shit AFTER I've done something I usually spend 2/3 days asking myself "what the fuck I have done" but after the dust settles I can start working on it again
>what is pitch
Lincoln Allen
I know its pitch related, but how do you do it with an audio clip for instance? Just automate the pitch to go down? How the shit do you automate pitch of audio clips/samples?
John Cox
just upload the mp3 you autistic cunt
Josiah Bell
Best DAW for sample based production? I'm at my wits end with Logic.
What I want are tools that let me adjust the pitch and tempo of samples independently in the least destructive manner possible.
Landon Phillips
I assume you're working on ableton (If not, I can't help you)
there's a "pitch knob" just on the left of your sample, down in the tempo/warp window automate that accordingly
Gabriel Ward
my bad you already said you're working on ableton, so there you go
of course, knobs automations are easier and more intuitive with a MIDI controller instead of your mouse/arrow keys
Camden Myers
i fucking hate adhd music like this it's very nicely made though, just not my cup of tea.
the vocal sample that comes in at 1:20 is out of tune.
Okay thanks a lot man, this is the same for samples I just drop into arrangement view right?
Christopher Nguyen
actually yes, I was talking about the arrangement view mainly
you're welcome !
Elijah Foster
ableton is alright
Eli Flores
>drum samples thats like, cheating though
Gabriel Watson
if ableton is good for james holden and nathan fake, itìs good for me
Lucas Thomas
actually I use drum samples a lot, loops too
I cut them with a gate, some beat crasher and a little delay works like a charm for subtle hats
Nolan Allen
What do you use instead of drum samples? Kontakt libraries are good but having a huge sample library is more comfortable, specially for hip hop and edm. Synthesizing your own drums when you're new is a ridiculous idea.
Michael Lopez
can someone quickly help me get this master right clyp.it/2bequ3zi
Feels like the lows are being boosted way too much. Too much activity on the right side in comparison to the left.
Thomas Murphy
logic can do that haha maybe you should watch a tutorial
David Peterson
no no, one shots of drums are find (not loops)
it's PRESETS that are cheating
Jeremiah Foster
i though the vocals were ok because theyre ok when mono but will bring them up. how i can fix the right/left thing, theres no extra instrument on each side, actually theres the hihat on the left.
Landon Gutierrez
maybe duplicate one of the channels and seperate?
Lincoln Sanchez
Best mic I can get for $400 bucks? need a mic that's not tinny or has too much on the high end but also isn't muddy and too much on the low end. Will be using it for vocals/acoustic instruments
Chase Butler
did it improve? clyp.it/jipfeyya also boosted some mids to get it closer to the reference
sm57 really is a good versatile mic, i use one for my vocals and guitars
Lucas Bailey
Do I need an amp with dynamic mic like SM57? or am I fine running it through my interface.
Awesome I'll consider it since the price is so cheap.
Christian Butler
Sounds a lot better dude.
I'm getting some sharp frequencies on my headphones though. Maybe keep your midrange away from the highs more.
Listen to the intro and you'll find it easily, its in the drumstick count aswell. sweep frequencies in those parts I'd say and look for excessive activity. You should be seeing peaks I'm pretty sure.
Jason Campbell
yeah there really is a peak. shoulda cut it only on the intro?
Nathaniel Bell
Wanna add vocals to this. Some high pitched female vocals. Wondering how much I'm fucking up since it's kinda different. clyp.it/piyli4jm
BTW it's harsh so maybe turn down the volume. No need to listen to more than a minute either.
Daniel Foster
That works, it really isn't that apparent in the rest of the track.
Brayden Wilson
theyre quite quiet already, sounds fine to me, i dont think its getting harsh
ok thanks im rendering it
Ethan Bennett
I feel like you could easily bring those vocals up 2db
Anthony Edwards
Drums are nice. I'd make the bass stronger, tho. Maybe it's cause shitty headphones but I can barely hear it.
Oliver Myers
I use mixpad. How do I install VSTs?
Eli Green
or what free daw should i get
Eli Stewart
how do you guys get samples off of albums on youtube? like if i wanted a specific sample but didnt want to download the entire album what would i use
Samuel Bennett
record from the stereo mix
Justin Anderson
I'm trying to use one in audacity right now but all these fucking videos say to go to "add / remove plug-ins" and my audacity doesn't fucking have that
Tyler White
yeah, my stereo mix isnt showing up in my recording options any other alternatives?
Jaxson Roberts
try audacity and enabling stereo mix device from windows' recording devices
i'm making a sample pack for my own usage. I feel like I should just make loops, export as wav, then organize them into folders. Is it that simple or am I missing a step?
can i hire you to finetune my mixes like we just did when i open a monetizing studio? seriously
Nolan Collins
reaper is free stop using that shit niggers
download the actual album what the fuck.... youtube makes everything sound like ass, if you have the option not to, don't
Colton Miller
>reaper is free for 60 days
Andrew Parker
Lmao, I'd fucking love to do proffesional work like that.
I never will though, music industry in my country is garbage.
I'll listen to the track in a couple minutes. Eating dinner.
Adrian Reyes
it will let you keep using it after the 60 days
Thomas Ross
Your Gay Modern DAW: Stupid, ugly, little ribbons represent notes, pathetic horizontal axis (passive, vaginal), tiny little needle nebbishly rolls from left to right across the dead unmoving track like a broken needle sliding off a greasy dead hooker's stomach
Renoise: Bold, beautiful, notes represented by timeless and powerful letters and numbers that hold the utmost cosmic significance, entire track moves upward on the superior penile vertical axis like rising steam when playing, complexity and power scares away cuckbois from broken homes
Noah Foster
I'll try it, if only for it VSTi capabilities, but man this setup is ugly.
Brody Foster
Anyone know how to deal problems when rendering MIDI? I have a track of MIDI strings that just gets cutoff when trying to render it, pic related. I would guess that the problem lies with the plugin I use, but I have rendered without a problem with it before.
Jaxon Green
Can someone explain enharmonics?
How do I know if I am using an interval in its minor or augmented or diminished form? Is it just that augmented or diminished implies the note is an accidental within the mode?
Noah Peterson
what exactly is getting cut off
both are shit, reaper is the good daw
Brandon Smith
I would fuck Aaron
Mason Bennett
A rendered MIDI track running a strings plugin, in the pic I posted the top track is how it turns out when I render it and it should be like a continuous waveform. But instead as you see it just gets cutoff for some reason.
Nathan Richardson
ah i see. have you checked the plugins settings? might be some option like sustain
Owen Moore
interval or chord? minor interval is a half step below the major one dimnished is a half step below the perfect if its a 4 or 5, and a half step below the minor if its i think any other interval
Xavier Wood
>r- reaper is the good daw you guys!
fucking reaper cucks are always the only ones trying to justify their shit i swear
Jason Phillips
I checked the settings for anything suspicious but couldn't find anything that made a difference. I manged to solve it anyway through a kinda roundabout way, but still kinda annoying
Nathan Lewis
cubase is the only good daw
Jose Lopez
oh man, adhd music is what gets me going haha. I love random noises and samples that don't belong but just "work".
Sorry it's not your cup of tea, but appreciate the kind words too.
Charles Hughes
you should try separating the pluck that comes in at 2:38 it's kinda weird to have it come in in the left ear only. Maybe have the bell phase from left to right, for some more movement in that part.
The kickdrum that adds to the build up sounds a bit sharp. If you blast it on full volume it actually physically hurts your ear. You can hear it when you lower the volume aswell. Sounds like its peaking at 250 to 300 or something.
Think it's panned a bit too much to the right aswell. Like it's a guy in a room next door playing the kickdrum with his door open.
Other parts sound good.
If you want you can give me a way to contact you if you need help in the future.
Carson Wright
cubase is literally trash with their shitty track freezing and item cutting/stretching/glue systems
Isaac Foster
I know that but as you may have noticed an augmented second and minor third are the same thing. So I am asking how do I know if I'm spelling an augmented second or a minor third for instance.
Michael Sullivan
What's the best solution for drums, samples of synthesis? I like the whole 808 and 909 thing but looking to expand my pallet. Should I get more samples (literally the only packs I have) or look into a drum synth? Also are the D16 drum machines any good? (desu i'd probably be only using them for their samples)
