Theme: Music for your god. (divine music, your interpretation)
Deadline: Midnight between August 31st and September 1st (UTC)
Please post title suggestions

>IMPORTANT! READ THIS BEFORE SUBMITTING:
Upload the file somewhere and post the link here. If you want to update your track, make a new post.
If possible use a lossless format and upload to a file-sharing service, not to a music site like Vocaroo or SoundCloud.
Include the title of the song in the post. Don't rely on us reading it from the filename or tags.
When you post the submission make sure that the song is clearly a submission for the album, otherwise it might get skipped.
Songs that contain anything against YouTube's policies won't be uploaded on YT (but will still be added to the album).
If your track's volume goes above 0 dB it will be clipped for the release.

yeah like he shows at 1:50 it's a 1 semitone difference. afaik 12TET was mainly useful for simplifying classical composition and make it easier to physically play instruments but in a modern DAW you have a lot more freedom to explore microtonality so you can make adjustments by less than 1 semitone and you could maybe even use just intonation for some things

it would look less "lumpy" than pic related
and minor/phrygian was just an example since it was so close in the music theory for techno video
like for example maybe you could move the perfect fifth so it's like just intonation compared to the root note so you have a custom tuning that's optimized for the perfect fifth and you try to avoid using the less optimized intervals

You can try, but that intermediate quarter tone is going to jump out and create a different vibe that's not necessarily a combination of the two.
Those quarter tones are for example a big part of why Arabic music sounds the way it sounds.
https://youtu.be/Rk8mY1cxKNI
Notice how tuning certain notes off by half a semitone instantly makes it unmistakably Arabic.

>just intonation
That's usually just a relatively small detuning, so it still kinda sounds like the original scale, only slightly "off". A quarter tone difference is much more substantial.

But yeah, the world of microtonal music is huge and there are a ton of things you can do to achieve different results. It's just a bit more difficult because you don't have the massive help that is regular music theory, and obviously 12TET is what we're all used to hearing, so exotic tuning systems can sometimes require some getting used to lol

gives you amplitude/phase plot (i.e. spectrum analyzer) of an arbitrary signal chain, including hardware. Niche but useful.

I've been learning control theory lately, and recently found out that control engineers call their spectrum analyzers "Bode plots". Interesting how different fields end up at the same thing.

Man the most annoying part about building an app for making music is designing the UI. What looks intuitive to me, in my head, probably makes no sense to anyone else. I'm loading it up with tooltips, but man there are a lot of buttons already....
>>
>>101693356
think about how people should be getting the sound instead of thinking about what parameters there are in the programmer perspective
for example serum worked because the ui follows roughly what someone sound designing is going to reach for when making a sound

Past 10 years Skrillex has been making easy-mode, uninspired, and non-technical trap/reggae/mumble rap and it's so bad - even with porter robinson and mr oizo on some of his latest tracks
Who ghost produced him all of that way through the Bangarang album? There is such a night and day difference after Bangarang....

I simply refuse to believe someone supposedly capable of such expressive and technical complextro and genre defining dubstep/brostep wanted to then make mid, mid absolutely MID and souless trap and mumble rap for 10 years after.....

I made this little VR marimba today. It outputs MIDI rather than audio so I don't have to worry about that part. The collision detection is kind of broken if you move the mallets to fast; I thought I had continuous collision detection working but it's broken. Since there's no physical restitution force in VR, I've found the best playing technique is a best-saber-esque slicing through the keys up and down, rather than trying to fake the elastic bouncing and only playing on top; I think with more practice I can go pretty fast. Also once I get the collision detection working better, I'm going to try to add MPE support, since you can also move the joysticks on the actual VR controllers to do pitch bend and shit (or wiggle/twist the mallets around in all 6 degrees of freedom).

It was hard to decide whether to post this in the dead game dev thread or this dead music thread. dmp wins for today.

you're prob trolling but if you want to say anyone ghost produced his early tracks then it'd be noisia and then after his laptop got stolen he just decided to make other shit
I don't get the same high I got when I was young listening to his early tracks but I still think that his newer stuff is pretty good. it's just so tiresome that when an influential producer releases a big track/album then everyone starts making similar shit, I think I've heard rumble/xena but not made by skrillex like 10+ times already

RATATA is as cleanly produced as you can get, it has that hi-fi sound like you get straight from a synth in like an audiopilz video or something like that. that synth "beatboxing" is some of the most unique sound i've ever heard. it's just a different genre than dubstep.

How to ITB this?

Maybe not *exactly* this sound but something comparable in that noisey resonance in that very controlled way

Trash 2 isn't really doing it and i've quickly experimented with like, resonant filter>bitcrush>waveshaping already.

Honestly maybe "re-amping" some of those things through pedals would work a lot better but the last time I tried straight out of the interface I almost went deaf from a feedback loop so idk.

... idk I might just reuse my ruiner cover chain.

>intermediate production techniques
Like what?
I've been reading and lurking and learning, but I've never bothered to make anything in a DAW. Do you think my first track will be absolute trash, or would it be one that you mistake for an intermediate tard larping? -- or would I be an intermediate tard larping even though I never made a track because I had been reading/learning/researching this whole time?
>>
>>101711991
are you the retard that keeps posting about taylor swift and avicii but doesn't make anything?
well first of all you should kys asap
and to answer the question, yes, it'll be clear that you're an intermediate tard larping. the track you'll post saying that is your "first" is just going to sound like a guy that already knows production techniques but is musically uninspired. when it's someone that has a good background in music and is starting in production, the early tracks are going to be good but without the production polish, it'll maybe even sound a bit nostalgic because of that, but it's still clear that it's a beginner in production

>>101711965
I'm not sure what you're implying with your garbage post, but that idea of larping as a beginner is not new and not uncommon, especially when you can enter a place where nobody knows you

No, there isn't a reason. Cellists regularly deviate from 12TET and play with 'just intonation'. The easiest example would be increasing the pitch of F# in a G major scale, which a lot of teachers will use to illustrate the importance of keys, and to deter students from obsessing over electronic (12TET) tuners. Casals was a big advocate of teaching it, but all cellists naturally end up doing it because it sounds good.

>As a conductor, I've run into this situation so many times with woodwind and brass players who point at the electronic tuner and claim they are "in tune" when it is obvious that the third or fifth interval they are playing against the root is not of an appropriate quality, and there is an audible clash in the sound waves. Also, electronic tuners largely cannot cope with interpreting the continuous vibrato that is the standard practice for modern violinists, so looking at those numbers or visual meters flickering back and forth is of almost no use.

Funny that you mentioned cellists specifically as opposed to string players in general (or singers), because the only person I ever heard talk about adjusting the pitch of notes was a cellist in our ragtag student orchestra during college (I was a band kid in high school, so I didn't have exposure to orchestra geeks previously).
I would think something like that would be equally important for other string players.
>>
>>101724799
idk if related but smaller intervals sound fine at a higher frequency, at a lower frequency you need to compose with larger intervals. intuition wise, it might seem like tuning is more important at higher frequencies like a violin but maybe it's the opposite since the bassline in some songs sound extremely disgusting even though people say that very low frequencies are largely atonal.
>>
also several /hpg/ and /iemg/ anons have thrown a hissyfit over the bass in bob marley - concrete jungle, they say the bass is too much even with their hp/iem EQ'd flat, maybe the bass is objectionable because of the tuning more so than the amount of it

sounds neat, do you think it's more important to have the VR side of things 'properly' set up, or do you think having really good physical controllers to interact with the VR is what would make the VR really kick off?

I haven't browsed /agdg/ in a long time but if it was Cris I think he'd make it very clear with his style and confirming it.

VR gloves that could actually resist your finger movements would be great; I think you could simulate things like piano keys or stringed instruments that way.

I still think you can get a lot of mileage out of existing controllers though, even if the fidelity isn't great, as long as you don't try to simulate forces that aren't physically there. That's where I'm going with the beat-saber "hit through the notes" concept.

FWIW there already is an existing thing that does what I'm building https://store.steampowered.com/app/606920/EXA_The_Infinite_Instrument/ and it's pretty great, but development is ded. Thus, time to make my own open sores version.

Liking music comes down to a lot of factors, but a big part of it is familiarity with sounds you've already heard.. so it's more a function of one's listening history than sound quality.

French IDM artist who passed away 6~ years ago.
His claim to fame was Aphex Twin praising him in an interview and playing his music in his DJ sets (at least one that I know of and it was in my city and Qebrus was there i'm so sad :((().

There's a niche of IDM sometimes referred to as flashcore, which is equally as meaningless and un-specific as the parent term, but fits him imo because he is significantly faster and flashier than his "contemporaries" (quotes because people compare these artists to eachother often but the comparisons are only made due to untrained ears- it's usually equivalent to comparing SAW era aphex to boards of canada).

His music is fairly niche even among people who are into it and consequently not a lot is known about him.

Are there any good ways to spice up a minor pentatonic scale for glitchy and bass heavy music?
I keep coming back to it for melodies/harmonies, because trying to mold my synth patches and samples into anything but the above sounds really goofy, especially harmonies. I obviously try and step out of it at times to create some tension, but nothing to write home about.
The closest thing that sounds almost equally as dramatic and cold is the flamenco/phrygian scale, but I feel like it's still only scratching the surface.
Got a good place I start experimenting from?
>>
>>101736116
look it up? try it out?
I don't see how that would be an issue based on the pictures, and that's not an issue on strats, so if thenecks are similar...

>>101736217
Why approach things from pentatonic at all?
I started using Dorian a lot more often for DnB related stuff but obviously it's a lighter sound.

If things are sounding goofy when you're just doing triads or simple stuff you're probably overlooking inversions or omissions.
-that's more of a fundamental problem than a problem with what scale you're using

The french Wikipedia page for pentatonic scale (but not the English one) mentions different passing notes in the 'big holes' of the scale. They are called pyens in an ethnomusicologist's system (after Chinese music) but I found nothing in English about it.

Just got rejected from another job after interviewing, so I guess I get to keep working on this MIDI app...
I finally got unbounded recording working reliably. Hold down the Record button for 1 second, then it waits for a first note to start, and then it starts recording and adding beats to the width until you hit Record again. I had to basically rewrite the entire behind-the-scenes logic for storing and looping recorded notes to get this to work, though my original implementation was over-engineered desu.
Some other stuff not shown in this video: I also added the option to move the cursor forward/backward when it's not synced to the metronome; and also the option to shift recorded notes left/right by 1 beat at a time.

>being a 'producer' is cringe
not him, and this is just one aspect of it, those sd laika/qebrus/lanark artefax dickriders are cringe because they don't understand what they're hearing, they describe it as otherworldly and that it's a mystery how those sounds came from a teenager playing around on his computer. the dickriders have seemingly no chance of making such sounds for themselves but they're apparently still going to keep trying for 10+ years. even though other commentators have described it as merely a michael bay transformers over the top sound effects type of novelty. it lacks classical composition and songwriting so it's like an AI might do a decent a job of replicating that style if the AI were in higher fidelity using synths instead of samples. i'll acknowledge their mastering is loud, but anons ITT are then being hypocritical by hating on loudly mastered mainstream songs even when they don't clip and when the dynamic range sounds fine if you have a good audio system (they are intentionally not dipping to the noise floor like by using reverb as such, it's a hipster strawman to complain that the dynamic range isn't maxed out).

>Why is MPE pitch bend not following the loaded Tuning System?
Currently MPE pitch bend follows the standard equal temperament tuning (12-TET). For example, using Note Pitch Bend to the next note will be equal to 1st in the 12-TET tuning system, even if this note has a different pitch in the loaded tuning.

Leaving metaphysics aside, Sex And Religion is a harmonically adventurous album. You seem to be using modes that one doesn't usually hear in rock and roll.

That's another thing I can't help. You're gonna hear modes in there that you never heard on any other record or any other type of music, simply because I made them up out of synthetic scales. Like the end of "Deep Down In The Pain" -- that really weird birth sequence. What's happening is that a child is coming out of the womb, you know? He's hearing the voice of divinity and asking questions and all this weird stuff. But what you hear in the background is all this wild music based on a scale I devised.

A new scale?

Yeah; I call it the "Xavian" scale. What I did was take the 12-tone row and make sampled notes of it on the keyboard. Then what I like to do is experiment with different temperaments. [Ed. Note -- The 12-note European tempered scale is only one way of dividing up the frequency range between octaves. Different systems exist in other cultures and in the work of composers like LaMonte Young and Wendy Carlos. Some modern synthesizers offer alternate temperaments.]

I have this book where I keep all these different scales, where I divided the octave up into different steps -- like maybe 9 or 10 equal steps. I call these scales "fractals." At the end of "Deep Down In The Pain" I used a scale that's based on dividing the octave into 16 equal steps, instead of the 12 steps of the conventional tempered scale. So each half-step within that is not quite a conventional half-step -- it's 60 microsteps as opposed to 100 microsteps. Instead of calling it a half-step, I call it a "quasar."
>>
Then the "whole step" is 120 microsteps, instead of 200. Instead of calling it a whole step, I call that a "nova." All these different intervals create the Xavian scale, a 10- note scale that I extracted from this 16-note row. You take this scale and play chords with it and it's like divine dissonance, because all the intervals are twisted.

Every six notes or so, you run across a tempered interval. But for the most part, these are not tempered intervals, so you get a whole structure of harmonics that is just eerie and unique. You know how every chord conjures up a different mood? Even to the most casual listener, a major ninth chord will create a different feeling than a minor ninth, or a major ninth with a sharp 11th. Imagine the twisted world of emotions you can open up from the Xavian scale! We human beings are so shaped by music in our evolution. I think that as more people get into experimenting with these fractals, a whole different emotional state of mind will result -- one that is probably on a par with the way our evolution is going anyway. But I don't think you'll ever hear Metallica jamming on the Xavian scale.

If they read this, maybe they'll get into it.

it might be a massive skill and iq issue on my part but something that blows my mind is how composers create OSTs.

small problem on live, I probably just don't know where to fix it. whenever I split/select-copy audio clips, the fade-in/fade-out are always pulled back, but just a little bit, and it's annoying to work with. It has to be a "default" setting hidden somewhere, right?

Lets hear some opinions on puredata and its forks. Is making shit in a scratched-like environment too autistic for most or do people throw the "why not just code it like a normal person" as an excuse to do neither? Also all these hyper focus disjointed posts of someone talking to themselves reminds me of that schizo that was killing the iem generals.

that's me, i put together an endgame monitoring system with virtual speakers in a room sim so i get proper stereo imaging, and honed in my listening skills, i haven't had ear training in terms of recognizing specific notes/chords by ear though
for example i can recognize that RATATA is the cleaner more high fidelity high dynamic range track out of those examples >>101697978, not missy elliott's vocals (seriously can't these studios that put out hundred million dollar music invest in better recording equipment?) but the instrumentals are far more prominent during the drop

I guess today's best option would be plug data. I'd use that if I needed a daw. However I can't imagine how frustrating it must be for a noob to get something on par with a decent vst. It could do anything if you asked politely, but you'd have to know some physics, some DSP, and how to use the patching environment. You have no idea what you ignore.

I have the Harley Benton. to me it's pretty much top notch & has stainless steel frets. Paid £190 odd for it a few months ago & it was B-stock, could not really see what made it a b-stock apart from the probably needing a setup for string height. To be honest you can't really go wrong with any guitars over certain price point as long as you stay away from some over priced things from the big manufacturers like Gibson or Fender - especially Gibson as they are pushing Epiphone into being a more expensive guitar brand within their line.

Good for many things. But it is paid software. Pure Data does most the same with it being FOSS. Can't wait for PD to have it's version of Gen and a more seamless way to create VST's like RNBO but without distro's(not refering to Linux distros) like Plug Data

I fixed the timing issue on the repeater function in my MIDI app. Before, if you switched from one key to the next, the repetition cycle would start fresh, so it would play the first note right away, which didn't sound right because the gap between notes might be too small. I added the option to synchronize it based on when the last key was released. Sounds a lot better.
Audio version: >>>/wsg/5643750
https://i.4cdn.org/wsg/1723066560373011.webm
Some other things I'm thinking about with the repeater...
- If two keys are held at the same time, should they both play at the same time? The change I described above only takes effect when a key is released and a new one is pressed. If a second key is pressed and held while the first one is still held, then there's no syncing and the second key's repeater timing starts fresh. If those keys weren't pressed close to the same time, then it could sound like the notes are alternating. I could change the behavior to have them play at the same time (or make it an option). Though, I guess if someone's playing with a controller, it's a skill issue to make sure two keys are pressed at the same time...
- With the Y-Axis behavior turned on (where the rate changes), it uses the Velocity data when receiving input from a MIDI controller... so if you press one key softly, it will repeat slowly, and then press another key harder, it will repeat faster... Maybe it needs an option for the subsequent keys to use the same rate as the initial key when it's still held, so the rates are synced?
I'm open to thoughts...

in my worldview, a digital synth should absolutely not have aliasing, but this can not be taken for granted either due to developers incompetency, ignorance/complacency from the userbase, or cpu/memory constraints especially in historical VSTis like sylenth1. people who prefer the sound of serum or physical analog synths aren't just delusional audiophiles when you can point to objective flaws like aliasing artifacts in other VST synths.

it's cheesy as hell. you must not listen to music a lot if you think it's impressive. like 10 years ago when people wanted to make the next minecraft, flappy bird, shovel knight or undertale, they deluded themselves into thinking that using the most basic tools like even love2d would be good enough. it's making a mockery of the artform to say that you only need such a basic tool as fl studio with stock plugins. it's difficult to even find currently relevant examples of people making a living for themselves with similar quality music.

the aliasing or whatever basically sounds like AI, there's like a lo-fi haze to everything which the reverb only partially masks, it probably uses an outdated synth like sylenth1 or whatever

it's most probably aliasing that would give a lo-fi "haze" that is not strongly correlated with the intended timbre of the sound. it's obvious if you know anything about signal processing and it's factual that many VST synths have a lot of aliasing. most of those 2000s/early 2010s EDM classics would not have been made with serum or other good synths since serum only came out in 2014.

How do I into side processing? I cut the lows out of the sides, sometimes add an upper mid dip but it's not very good
I've got a friend with a much cleaner sound than I have in general, but his genre is that deep dark stuff so it's really hard to apply to whatever garbage I've been making. I'm trying but he uses a lot of splice samples for things and I'm really autistic about making things myself. I'm trying but I'm hitting a wall on both arrangement and processing. I think I just need to spend more time on the little details but it's tough making good sounds and then making enough good variations of those sounds that it stays fresh
https://vocaroo.com/1keZIHWblpLO
I made this for a friend who wanted to hear a lullaby in bass music. The second half would fit into my rekordbox playlist that is literally titled "shit the kids wanna hear" because it's that fairly basic party bass shit that I try to use as a foundation to slip some more interesting stuff and occasionally my originals into. I used this track as a springboard to try to make that 808 driven stuff to see if I could actually make that type of music, but the sides on the second half are fucked and overall the whole thing is hot garbage idk

step sequencer is usually just notes, sometimes additional cv. in trackers you can change a wide variety of things like reverb per step
>>
>>101783875

that's about it. functionality is similar. depending on the tracker it'll have commands similar to midi except you have to type most of them in.
>>
>>101782644
>How do I into side processing?
nta obvs

Two main reasons I do it and how you should think about it imo:
Phase coherence and controlling width.

If you're not doing anything fancy, M/S EQ is just there to more accurately control your stereofield and fine tune the spectrum with that in mind.
E.G say you have a nice wide break but the high end is FUCKED over 6k or something
-instead of bringing the total width down across the whole spectrum you can just cut the sides o the highs, and then re-boost the mid of the same area to make it sound approximately the same, just narrower in that one spot.

Second of course is just an extension of mixing how you already do.
Does this frequency increase or reduce the impact off the stereofield? Is something already there and does it sound cluttered? Empty? Etc.
Low cutting the sides is a meme btw that's boomer record pressing shit.
Not saying you should never do it because obviously there are plenty of situations why you would for both of the above reasons, just don't do it by default without thinking about it.
