does anyone have ideas for this demo clyp.it/vgqkqww5 actually this is just 3 riffs/sections (0", 43" and 1'35") i had and recently tried to put them together for a song
So, trying to play guitar with mostly samples. Its never in tune. I know "tune it better" and "get into intonation" but its as close as I can humanly achieve on both counts and it still sounds wrong. Are there are any other prod tricks for this kind of thing?
>clyp.it/fte3kfq2 cmon man nake those snaps/claps bigger, otherwise youre good bro.
Blake Phillips
I like your clyps user :^} still needs better mastering but you probably knew that glitch piano You lost me pretty early in the track but it's not my type of music anyway desu.
Blake Turner
why we get zero sound mic'ing vocals on the chest?
Aiden Gray
rate this /prod/ clyp.it/jzxbdvb1 vocals and acoustic guitar aren't definitive
Liam Jones
get a new guitar or live with it. sometimes things out of tune sound good like aphex twin
Blake Howard
does this sound decent for hardcore techno stuff? clyp.it/dacfiiq5
Jaxson Foster
good shit right here
Liam Jenkins
post SC/BC
Thomas Scott
If you post a clyp people can diagnose the issue better probably
Ayden Gray
way too much sub, ear damaging
Angel Butler
where are my replies
Dylan Parker
Can I get feedback on this rap? I recorded it with my phone. It's on soundcloud but I have nothing else uploaded there.
turn the sub gain down and you might have something
Charles Cox
I'm going to keep posting so you might as well give some constructive feedback so I'll leave.
Liam Evans
Pass, faggot. Read OP
Camden Rivera
No one here is going to listen to your soundcloud m808 go shill that shit in the soundcloud threads
Luke Fisher
I did, it said to post only anonymously. There's nothing on this soundcloud besides this 16 so it IS anonymous.
Not shilling, read above. I'm not uploading my 16 onto a different site just for you.
Ryan Davis
kill yourself
Jeremiah Wilson
Is there anyway not to use jbridge in order to make 32-bit vsts work? It seems pretty complicated..
Jaxson Ward
when are they gonna fix everything when do they release v.6
David Martinez
>I'm not uploading my 16 onto a different site just for you.
It’s not for me as I’m not listening to it. My advice was for you just on the off chance that you wanted people here to listen to it? I was assuming that is why you posted it?
Eli Garcia
You have to use a bridger, not jBridge necessarily.
Christopher Ward
I'm following the spirit of the rule. You have put more energy into telling me to commit suicide than just listening to my 45 second rap.
Daniel Clark
>You have put more energy into telling me to commit suicide than just listening to my 45 second rap. Which is more effort than you’ve put into this thread. Now fuck off andrew. You are not welcome here.
Robert Evans
nvm it's actually pretty easy. thanks tho
Jacob Jenkins
A bit too distorted and the bass drum double thingy doesn't sound great.

I have trouble internalizing my music. It kinda bothers me that even after moving notes around and listening to things a billion times I don't seem to just... remember them. I've been writing things out in MIDI a lot and then playing them on physical instruments. I always have to use visual cues to play them. I guess I just need to set aside the time to try to memorize things. It seems so phony to have written all of this music but would instantly lose it if my computer died. How could it ever be important to anyone if it's not important enough for me to have stored away in my own brain?
Colton Carter
Reaper has native support for 32 and 64 bit plugins. No bridge required.
Since this is /prod/ "reaper rules" edition, I'd thought I'd let you know.
Landon Price
>it's a conversation
Xavier Green
I wonder if it would sound better with faster strumming during those intentionally slowly-strummed parts? If it works for you, it'll work in a song. It's not bad. It's not how I would construct the melody, but I can't exactly make the song for you, can I.
I've decided that regular synthesis is stupid so I just put 2-3 osc's together then add an effects chain of reverb, distortion, compression, convolution, etc. Also the Armenian genocide is no trivial matter and Turkey should be compelled to pay reparations.
Jack Ortiz
you should try to play up your accent a bit more. it can be a lot of fun if this was on an album I downloaded at random or based on tags alone, I would not skip it I'm afraid I laughed a little at the accent. it kinda contrasts with the music, but that can be a good thing. just try out different types of singing with different genres, and you'll get it right eventually! my tip is to flow with the accent as much as possible -- keep it natural and you've got a powerful tool
Nathan Flores
good shit, you like Delroy?
James Russell
is that Live 10?
Carter Gutierrez
r8 me
Mason Lee
looking good
Julian Foster
You need a hotter master signal. Boost it further.

From the points of view of better informed people on the web (not me), LMMS seems to be one of the better open-source DAWs. I'm no expert, so my question is: is LMMS any good? Or should I use a different DAW? I don't mind as long as it's relatively feature-rich, somewhat accessible, has a big enough community for support or whatever, and most of all is F R E E.
James Anderson
ardour is free if you compile it yourself you should try it
Blake Scott
its already at max i can't boost it any further >.>
Carson Bailey
All DAWs are pretty accessible. You need to watch a tutorial to get introduced to each one anyway since they all have their differences in design.
I went from LMMS to FL Studio Free Edition courtesy of the high seas. LMMS is incredibly buggy and has really annoying limitations, like awful sampling and hard limitations with tempo. I hate how so many of the features feel like afterthoughts, made well after other DAWs started implementing the features properly, such as VSTs feeling like duct taping a thermometer to your engine since your car has no heat gauge. LMMS is properly Linux, meaning it feels like a bunch of technical master wizards put together a shitload of code over many years, where it feels like all thought to design or usability was performed by one unpaid dude who got the hell out when he learned that working with a bunch of autists who don't understand user interface design is annoying as fuck. There's no harm in learning how DAWs work on it. Don't get attached
Aiden Robinson
just chain a ton of utility plugins one after another and boost the gain.
Dylan Ramirez
tracktion waveform is too good no one knows it because you all follow a standard fl/live/reaper route
Jose Walker
since it's easy to move to another DAW-- all that's needed is that tutorial, after all. The paid DAWs are really good. I tried out Ableton, which feels like it'll be a great tool to master audio engineers and musical wizards, but I prefer FL Studio because I'm just a synthpop scrub who goes more by feel than by exact musical theory, and it feels better for that.
Anyway, LMMS is really easy to use at first, until you learn about more advanced techniques needed to make music, and you realize LMMS is hopelessly slow at it. And then you want other instruments, or you want better sampling. You dive into VSTs through LMMS and realize you've just inserted a half-foot dragon dildo into your own anus without realizing it. Personally, after getting my colon cleansed (and getting mighty angry at it) from LMMS' Linux-ness, when my synth VSTs crashed the whole program seemingly at random, and when I had to jump through hoops with the built in sampler because of how unreliable VSTs were,
Caleb Cooper
ReaSamplomatic5000 is weird. Are any of the stock Reaper plugins any good?
Isaac Reed
reason and ableton
Joshua Carter
I just gave up. It was tiring as all hell. LMMS is easier than cracking better programs. It'll work to learn how to DAW properly. If you actually want to stay with it after a while, I highly suggest you check out others so you can correct your opinion on the matter.
also holy shit check those double dubs up there
Austin Harris
>You dive into VSTs through LMMS and realize you've just inserted a half-foot dragon dildo into your own anus without realizing it. theres literally nothing wrong with this
Parker Robinson
no
also, why is Live's GUI so crappy I mean it's logical and organized, but its graphics look like something from goddamn 90s perhaps it's time to redo its appearance
Luke Flores
thanks. yeah, he's alright, seen him live once
Jeremiah Roberts
No. It's simple and clean. Anything fancier will only clutter it up and be more resource intensive.
Xavier White
Anyone use ableton for live performance as God intended?
Just looks like the generic 'modern' minimalistic thing. I don't find it clear. All of the black/grey/white looks blurry and hard to read.
All of the boxes and borders Live uses makes things a lot clearer and easier to use.
Jaxon Wilson
clyp.it/qjs4c4de tell me what you think guys, it will mean a lot to me pic is
Brandon Myers
I once wondered why people like this kind of music. I then realize how easy it is to make. I guess it's fine, for the peeps who like that kind of music. I hear nothing wrong with it. Add it to an album. Just copy bits and pieces of this song and paste into several other songs and you've got an album to sale. It's how all the other shit like this is made, anyway.
Cooper Miller
>tfw have a song written and recorded but i'm fucking shit at producing and mastering and not sure if it sounds like shit because i know what I WANT it to sound like so my brain is hearing what it wants to hear
Elijah Garcia
Send a download link to me, I'm a mixing engineer. Either the project file or stems will work.
Elijah Green
omg my eyes
Luis Sanchez
ok, recommend me a good dark Live skin then
Ryder Thompson
holy fuck
William Smith
live just doesn't look good to me and I deal with it I cant think of any great themes
Austin Watson
what's the closest synth to the Minimoog that is not a Moog can Polysix emulate it
Jaxon Torres
i use the arturia one i've never used an actuall minimoog so i don't even know if it's close but it sounds good to me
Jackson Reed
I don't wanna have tons of vsts, just a couple, and polysix does basic synth sounds well Is Minimoog really that unique
Asher Baker
well i wouldn't know
Brody Allen
get uhe diva
Luis Edwards
Thank you for taking the time to listen and comment. It is intended to be a rap beat, i don't know what you mean by adding it to an album. I am trying to sell it.
Jackson Foster
hey guys could really use some feedback as I am almost done this track. Any input is useful, hope you enjoy it.
what do if diva's crack from rutracker doesn't work (i'm on mac)?
Nathaniel Diaz
i dont know because I use windows and no cracks it really is a great sounding synth though I hope someone else can help you
Evan Bennett
I think my Korgs can reproduce any analogue sound why should I get it my question was, is there anything so unique about minimoogs that can't be reproduced by a decent analog synth
Thomas Johnson
You cry the tears of someone who can't make bitching tones
Hunter Adams
I don't think Diva is cracked for OS X. Try Minimonsta or Monark by native instruments.
Joseph Clark
imo needs more work with the frequency arrangement on the voice.
Justin Ortiz
diva can reproduce minimoog and more is why I recommended it but you dont need it really if what you have works
Tyler Foster
can you go into a little more detail please?
Jack Evans
>NI B4 II is 32bit only
Jonathan Flores
What laptop are you using to make music in?
Nathaniel Perry
razer blade stealth. its surprisingly lightweight and durable so far. we'll see once it hits the road
Joseph Brooks
cheapest i got with 16g RAM, quad core processor and gpu
