it's kinda interesting. you think you need to copy synth sounds, drums, rhythms, styles etc.
yet when you really understand music theory it doesn't even matter anymore. as long as your melody is catchy you can put it over almost any beat, with any sound design, even with any lyrics.
so it's totally pointless trying to sound like your idols. because that's completely missing the point. idols can sing over any beat, especially kpop goes so wild sometimes with their sound.
but their melodies are always catchy.
i think melody is really the core of music. everything else is completely optional and just fancy decorations. but if the melody sucks music doesnt work.
you can be a trash hip hop producer, but if you have a good melody, then even with lame ass beats and lame ass rapper your song will resonate with people.

>>101280618
forgettable song to me though. just think about every song you remember. you remember them for the melody. not for the chords, not for the drums, not for the sound design, usually not even for the lyrics.
circlejerking over production quality is more like a hobby, not really something you do as a consumer who just listens to music for the feels and for the catchiness.

Do you know how education works?

You study great works to analyze what makes them great and observe how fundamental pieces work to achieve that.
You’re supposed to be deepening your understanding of how a given art works so you can better apply that to your own.

Are you the AI obsessed guy?
I mentioned this conversation before I had with my brother (more chronically involved with people who are likely to be proponents of a certain type with it) and it frequently comes up that “tech bros” who think they can just churn out art don’t understand stuff like this.

>>101280661
Timbre is just as important as melody. The sound also affects you when you're jamming, you will come up with different melodies when playing a harpsichord than if you were playing a piano because they invoke different moods, or a distorted electric guitar vs an acoustic one. If what you're saying is true, you would be fine with listening to your favorite music with every instrument being replaced with a single sine wave, the melody is still there right? Why not go even further, just look at the sheet music and you'll know it's a good song, not need to have actual sound.

>>101280988
what i really meant is that you can minmax on top of a melody, but if the melody sucks (isn't catchy/memorable) all the minmaxing of effects/sound design/timbres etc. wont help.
basically you can't turn a turd into a delicious dinner. but you can turn beef into a delicious dinner. but raw beef on its own would be boring.
yes i used a food analogy, live with it.

i figured out melody. it's not about coming up with a good motif. it's about repeating a motif (with slight variation)
the repetition is more important than the notes themselves. otherwise the music industry would have come up with the perfect motif already and reuse it over and over.
but what they use over and over isn't the same sequence of notes, it's repetition that they use over and over.
every sequence of notes is good if you repeat it often enough.

what if we've all just been arguing with a bot "learning" about music production

i found that instead of playing with hihat velocity it's better to just layer another hihat to accent the "higher velocity". sounds more "full"

Bot, troll, or genuine retard, it makes no practical difference at the end of the day.

I don't think anyone writes a melody they don't like and then try to improve the sound to make up for it. Most people find a sound they like and then the sound itself suggests the melody that you write.

old school methods come from technical limits, you don't really have to follow them. you can use a sample that isn't really a drum sample on its own and just move sample start, sample length, filter, env, etc onn each note to make a bunch of variation out of one snippet, but that isn't intrinstically better than using ten different drum samples

>spend 3 months waiting for a MIDI controller to come up for sale
>get it for 100 bucks less than I was willing to pay
Hell yeah.

>>101281400
layering is best way to get more out of it. i do the same with kick drums. some tracks i make will have two tracks just for a kicks. makes it hit a bit harder and sound fuller. i learned that after reading some interview of q-tip/a tribe called quest.

surprising nobody in the process. they weren't that expensive new (still aren't as far as i can see). wouldn't even bother buying one second hand.

>>101285351
i'd gotten real gear from CL before and had no idea mics were being counterfeited. i was a poor college student saving $30-40 off the new price and it seemed reasonable.

it's heavy enough and the frequency response isn't actually that bad, you can't really tell the difference in most recording applications so it's still usable but i'd definitely stick to new music shop purchases anyway

>layering
well duh that should be a given but "more out of it" ?

Part of the reason I moved away from drum rack (not exclusively but like 90% of the time) was to more easily handle alternating start/stop points and fades of single samples and it's been a game changer for doing drums t b h.

Obviously it's best combined with other methods but even just simple stuff like doing a shaker loop sounds way more natural with a single one shot and messing with every hit than layering two sampler instances and messing with velocity etc.
Obviously you *can* do similar things with a sampler but it's needlessly tedious, imprecise, and you most likely can't control fade slope/curve etc like you can with fades or volume automation so your ability to vary is cut.
-Combine that with another layer or few and you're good to go.
That's how I do all my tops now for example for house or whatever. Apply it to other stuff as well, of course... of course...

>>101285476

How do I add bass to a track that is mostly synth pads? Playing single notes doesn't work, I tried just pitching down the synth pads 1 octave but the result is meh, it seems like it adds mud rather than a defined bass sound, I just need to fill up the spectrum with some bass but I don't know how

>>101285714
> I tried just pitching down the synth pads 1 octave
nah. what you could do is:
> add a lower octave notes from pads to compliment it, don't lower the octave of the whole thing.
> add bass synth/sample with same ADSR as pads
> duplicate the pad track and low pass filter the entire thing
many things you can do. experiment. see what works.

Isn't that the main point of these sample libraries?

In the past 8~ months all of the conditioning I’ve put myself through to stay productive has kind of unraveled for reasons and I can only think of two solutions:

>shock collar that shocks during certain time frames if I leave the designated production area or am in a window that isn’t ableton
>a little pet feeder that lets out treats as track/MIDI clip count increases in the session

I am being 100% serious and this is not a pet play thing, I’m just that convinced that I can’t be trusted with my own work ethic without interventions like this right now.
Is this a feasible thing to set up?

Also somebody remind me in about two hours if I’m doing more sound design and not drunk and throwing games for my team in halo while oversharing to random people in stream. The drunk part will be true either way but I thought I might put some drums on all the sounds I’ve been doing the past few days,,,

I’ve identified the reason I always fall flat in that certain genre I’ve been wanting is not spending the autistic attention to detail evenly across parts and then trying to force a song way too soon (e.g the drums are cool but then there’s just a pad and shit melody made “normally” or the noise is noising but then the drums are just basic etc) so I’ve resolved to do a heavy sound sesh a day instead of a song a day to mitigate this (and my unease and writing so much less in the past couple weeks).

Yes I’m okay, just woke up (:

Music theory isn't some sort of cheat code to teach you how to make music, it is simply a form of analysis of already existent music

All your favorite artists probably don't use any music theory consciously when making music.
What I'm saying is simply try to make music you think sounds good regardless of some abstract notions of what it is supposed to be.

All you really need to know is the major and minor scales and have a feel for them to really begin making any sort of music

>>101299311
music theory is primarily useful in getting a common vocabulary to talk about making music. Like, when somebody says "you can use a tritone substitution to smooth out your progression", and you get what that means, that's application. Which yes, you don't have to know it, and artists aren't (usually) consciously thinking about it when they play/compose. But knowing the basics helps a lot, especially when you're on an internet mongolian puppet show forum, vs a teacher that can audibly show you what they mean by a tritone substitution without ever naming it.

the "keep it simple, stupid" philosophy applies to music too. it's how pop music has been able to thrive for eternity.

If you had to give up music forever what would be your greatest regret? I've written songs, produced tracks, played more music in the last couple years than ever before. Mine would be having developed all the bricks for a sequencer automating groove/microtiming, having patched countless sound generators, some of them creating all sorts of different pretty convincing percussion sounds, synths etc, and not having made any actual music with those. I keep developing all that stuff, keep telling myself one day all those ideas will turn to actual sound. But the truth is I probably can't do it by myself. Hence all the side bands I gig with. Fortunately I love tinkering with sound but it's not my primary goal, alas.

>>101301335
My biggest regret would be not developing my musical skills until I got perfect pitch, and also not meeting Jacob Collier in person.

No, it's not "an acquired taste", my issue with it is what he says with his music, to me it doesn't "hit" anything. It's just an autistic dude making music that he likes for fun, and he has that corny joyous music lover style. I'm sure that if he made music in a style that I usually like then I'd think it's amazing. I actually feel bad for him being this famous or having this "super genius" recognition because people go in expecting stuff that feels insane, but no, it's just him making autistic music that he likes lmao

His music seems to benefit from constraints such as those a live setting imparts. This is very good and enjoyable and free from the tasteless excess of his more outlandish work:

Don't know where to ask this. Has anyone tried to split black metal vocals and instrumental? Any AI program for this? I haven't tried UVR yet but I feel like it's not going to recognize it as a voice because the vocals are so distorted.

Good Morning Music Maids!

I am making Public Domain audio software with Java. The program accepts code in a Domain-Specific Language called Bocchi Maid JukeBox (this is the only musical maid I know with huge boobs).

It takes this language and makes audio using midi instruments. It can play it or generate a midi file.

I can play all the midi instruments and make notes. I can set/change tempo.

Is there some kind of standard test for this kind of software? I am going to try to make it play Bad Apple today if I can find the sheet music for it.

I want to make sure Bocchi Maid JukeBox is powerful enough for real use. I could make every instrument play scales and listen to my Computer make sounds for an hour, but if there is a more standard test I would like to try this.

Thank you music maids for reading my post.

This should probably be more in the stupid questions thread, but I figure you guys have more experience with audio hardware. If I wanna plug my computer line out to a cheap audio mixer, should I use a 1 1in input with a TRS cable or the stereo 1in input with TS cables? Or XLR is better?

>it would be much worse today if i didn't use earplugs at all the concerts and raves i've been to over the last 25+ years
This. I have tinnitus too because I forgot them ONE FUCKING TIME for a unmemorable concert in a tiny venue 20+ years ago. Learned a decade later it was nicknamed the 'tinnitus venue', the sound ingeneer must have been totally treble deaf. But even if I have hearing damage it seems I hear little sound events better than my peers. I believe I have trained my ears getting accustomed to ear plugs.

>>101312174
I'll receive my EN16 soon. A guy called it 'poor man's faderfox'. It's tiny, USB powered, scriptable and all encoders have push. Are there buyers for used bcr2000?

>>101312993
The EN16 seems really cheap. I don't know what encoders they're using, but they're steppy according to reviews, which means they're really cheap junk.

If the BCR32 ever comes out, it's 20 bucks less and probably has better encoders. We're talking like 5 cents more for a real encoder, it's crazy they're charging 170 bucks for something that low effort with half the encoders.

It's sad that we have so many VSTs with millions of virtual knobs, and no decent options for controlling them.

yeah i've met such retard engineers before. i remember one event at a hotel where the treble was so fucking high that my friends and i started yelling at the "sound engineer" to fix it or we'll start pouring beer over his console. fixed it and claimed he didn't realize it was so high. apparently his hearing was completely fucked.

>>101313073

For me it's a good thing. Some Anon called the bcr32 vapor hardware, and I think he was right. But from what you wrote, you seem like a guy who's never happy with anything.

Many such cases. If they let Keith Jarrett dial the sound he wants, the audience would become as deaf as him.

Could be, but there was an update 5 days ago, so I'm more hopeful than I was when I made the post.

>For me it's a good thing.
How could low resolution adjustment ever be a good thing? Honestly, the bigger shame is that they don't even have an LED ring, I forgot to mention that.

>you seem like a guy who's never happy with anything.
I'd be pretty happy with the BCR32. It's just a smaller version of the BCR2000.

>>101314339

Like I said, 5 days ago. Could be out by the end of the year, so only about 3 years late.
>I'm not giving behringer any credit or money anymore.
Fair, but nobody else is even really trying in this market. If I want a bunch of knobs, it's either this or paying twice as much for inferior products.
>I'll think of you waiting, unhappy, when I fiddle with my en16
And I'll think of you, using an absurdly overpriced device with less than half the features that cost you more money, while I'm using my old BCR2000.

this is probably a stupid question but I have this bass audio clip that I like and want to use, however it cuts off abruptly and I want the sound to trail for another bar or so. Is reverb the way to do this? Idk if I've seen people say never add reverb to the bass or not

>>101316548
reverb is just going to smear it, so if that's the sound you want then you use it. if you want to actually continue the sound then I'd just try looping the end in a sampler and then bounce and manually fade it out

>>101316548
sampling it would be easiest, looping the section before it fades then using the sampler envelopes to make it sustain

That sounds like pointless audiophile masturbation but if you're desperate to filter your noisy AC mains and the stock Apple PSU isn't doing the job (why not though?)

If you're technologically literate, you are a gibbering retard to audiophiles, or you're some kind of big music shill or something trying to convince people that 5 dollar cables are "fine" when you really need a 300 dollar USB cable for true audio fidelity (tm).

None of the things audiophiles do makes any sense to anyone with even a vaguely cursory understanding of the principles they are wrongfully representing in order to make money off braindead boomers. The classic story is the guy who had another power pole installed just for his audio equipment.

Has anyone else ever gone full retard when it comes to learning an instrument?

I'm strongly considering that instead of using any sensible system that already exists, I'm going to half invent a convoluted inverted keyboard layout where I have to derive every fingering myself. My system has some advantages, some personal, some logical.

I know I should just learn a regular instrument, but I fucking hate all of them.

You have to accept to be bad at it when you start. People underestimate how much work has to be put in learning an instrument. That's why it's better kept playful: work is easier done when you enjoy yourself. If your ego can't stand being bad at something new, don't start anything. Or be humble and put the work in.

I'm okay with being bad, the problem is more in trying to define a good learning system when I have no real point of reference. Obviously I can just follow instruction for piano and mold it to fit, but most aspects beyond "practice scales and pieces" won't apply to a niche instrument with completely non-standard fingerings.

I'm not saying full retard in terms of being shit, I'm saying full retard in terms of essentially trying to reinvent the wheel instead of doing what everyone else does.

maybe now you can move on from drum n bass and dubstep which were only popular for the novelty factor and because people had shitty audio which wasn't capable of faithfully reproducing more complex material so the wub wub beep beep stuff won out at the time

>>101326961
>>101331703
So you don't know how to play any instrument, and you want to invent a new system for playing an instrument?
Can you please elaborate on what this inverted keyboard layout is like?

>>101333693
That's basically what it boils down to. The idea isn't really anything new, it's an isomorphic grid layout with fifths between rows, like a violin, with pitches increasing from right to left.

>>101333810
Perhaps you could consider that the impact of the disadvantages (or whatever you don't like) in a traditional instrument like a piano, might be smaller than the disadvantages of doing your own thing.
With piano you have a very long history of refinement and no shortage of knowledgeable people who can help you do anything you can possibly do on a keyboard.
That body of knowledge is pretty much nonexistent for your instrument, do you're going to have to go through a lot of trial and error to figure things out, and you might come to incorrect conclusions and not realize it for years (especially if you don't already have experience with other instruments). For piano that work has already been done a long time ago.
Plus, are you going to build it and/or program it yourself?
By the time you're done with everything and can play your first song you'll have invested a lot of time into it. Time that if spent learning piano instead, might give you enough skills to make up for all the gripes you have with it.

I think it would be a neat project, even if just for the novelty, but as your first instrument it seems to me that you're not going to be as satisfied as you predict.

>>101333810
Are you unhappy with all the existing isomorphic keyboards already out there? How far is your 'idea' from the accordion's?

>>101334084
These days there are plenty of grid controllers I can get to do what I want.

The problem is that I just dislike piano. I don't like cumbersome octave stretches, I don't like the size they take up, I don't like the lack of expressivity. I've got similar issues with most other instruments.

>>101334231
Most of them use fourths. I just think fifths is a little better, you get more notes in the same space and I haven't encountered any reaches so far that are too awkward. The other option is tritone spacing, which has some appeal too, but fifths has some positives. Like I said, my idea is nothing new, and existing products can be adapted to it, the problem is more one of the lack of any real documentation. But to be fair, even the fourths layout is pretty poorly documented, so I don't think there's a much bigger barrier here.

>>101334398
>I don't like the lack of expressivity

Keep at it and you'll die just like you are today: instrumentlet. You'll never enjoy musical skills transposing between instruments. You won't train your ear. I'm pretty sure you sing out of tune and can't hold a steady rhythm. And it's none of my business!

Depends how much money you have. Honestly, MPE is pretty neat, but it's not well suited to much more than navel gazing or monophonic lines. It's hard to modulate from regular pressure to the aftertouch area at the end consistently, especially with multiple fingers simultaneously.

I don't use /pol/ and at this point feel that /pol/ should be deleted. It exists as a containment board to keep /pol/ out of the other boards, but most of the other boards are full of /pol/spam constantly regardless. Rather than a containment board, it is more of a contagion board that makes every Redditor who got banned from their favorite politics subreddit feel like it is their birthright to shit up every board on 4Chan with /pol/spam.

/sci/ is the worst about this currently. That whole board is basically unusable, because at any point it is 80% /pol/spam.

I bought one of the dozen or so MPE devices on the market. But I'm not telling you which one.

Sounds right up my alley. I can keep myself entertained by playing scales, I just want something even more meditative and suitable for taking it S L O W.

it's binaural/spatial audio like virtual surround, there are many competing technologies both for consumers and music producers. most neckbeards think it's gimmicky because most implementations have fucked up timbre, some people accept it for watching movies but not for listening to music. i use EAC Individualized HRTF Synthesis together with my own room simulation and EQ. other people reported great results with mesh2HRTF, you can do a 3d scan of your head with an iphone x. some people think it's pointless without head tracking but head tracking isn't really necessary when you're staring at a screen and you get consistent stereo imaging.

they're cheap chinky headphones with a bunch of proprietary slop that runs on your computer. it's still not the same as any of the listening environments it's supposed to simulate

I'm a half decent piano fag. Could I play this like a conventional keyboard or is it too wiggly and weird?

visions era best era

>>101342922
Different anon, but I've seen a few people online say it's wiggly. Take that with a grain of salt, of course.

>>101343408
thank you

It requires a lot of different techniques, and may require some adjustment to your playing style. In terms of how much of a jump it is from a traditional piano, it's probably the closest of the MPE options, but it is very much a different instrument. If you want something more like a piano but with some of the same expression there's the Polybrute 12, which is closer to a traditional keybed but you get polyphonic pressure tracking on every key. Osmose has that, and side to side wiggling for pitch bending.
