>>106819992no shilling
Are you fags still trying to use Ableton and Serum to try to pretent to make music? You fell for jeetish marketing.
>>106821009No everything I do starts in a professional sample library or a professional outboard synth or sampler, Maybe I could sample some of these poopie softwares and actually get a good sound out of them that way, but why bother, I can use TAL uno as a sample source if I like and make it sound better outboard
>>106817617>Bane?
>>106821453>professional sample libraryahhhhhh hahahahahahahahaaaaaa
>>106822468it sounds better than your non-existent shit
>gluooey
>>106821009I use Reason
>70% of users uses audacity for simple editing>vp instead listens to the 30% and plans on making it into a DAW (even though he claims that's not the goal)what the fuck is his problem? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYM3TWf_G38the video if anyone wants to watch this crap
>>106824265what else do you expect from an irish communist
>>106822601what if hes john cage lol
>>106824072For me, it's Cubase+Reason
>>106826597do you even need cubase
>>106828597he's already got a reason
>>106828597I've heard of people doing this because they like the Cubase workflow for live recording and mixing and basically just use Reason or other programs like a massive synth or drum machine. I've never used Cubase so I couldn't really tell you what it can do over Reason, using solely Reason I feel like I can do pretty much everything I could imagine even if the workflow is annoying sometimes (biggest annoyance for me is the sequencer zoom doesn't track where your mouse or play bar is at, which is annoying)
HmmmmRoland JV30 with no ac adapter popped up for sale near me, think it's worth $15?No idea if its functional but looks clean and well kept enough, and comes with a hard case.I already have an old turn of the century Casio keyboard, would the Roland be greatly different or better?
>>106828597I hated Reason's sequencer.
wut midi controller is güd ?
I just had a random flashback to a time before GPT and it made me feel good. I hate this shitty slop
>>106831482Idk, I think all Roland DCO synths and romplers are fucking gay despite what internet faggots think. But $15 is pretty cheap. Maybe buy some beer instead
>>106832440Yeah that's kind of the vibe I got looking around online. No sense "acquiring" random junk I don't need.
>>106832409I hate this timeline>>106832386Any that has enough faders and knobs
Bump. And I will now finally take this project seriously before the 25th...
I want to participate and contribute but I don't know how to make music.I'm learning piano and bought both Syntorial and their Building Blocks courses but I've been too lazy to really make progress or try to make shit on my own lol.I just want to make cheesy dungeon synth and generic "retro" synth wave bros...
>>106837314dont learn piano, you're going to program shit into piano roll anyway. learn about voice leading and the roman numeral chord progressions, much more useful for the genre you want to make
>>106837749>dont learn pianoawful advice.
>>106837756if he's going autodidact route he'll get better results faster if he just studies music theory directly. unless you're getting real lessons you're just spinning your wheels and adding more obstacles between yourself and the music. its never been easier to compose with piano roll so learn to do that if you want to make music but dont know how to play or make any music
>>106837806Playing on real keys is always going to give a better result than sequencing. Performance matters more than the notes being played.
>>106837832look you're gonna have some kind of performance medium in front of you when you're learning music any way. im only suggesting, dont sit there memorizing scales when your goal is to make... dungeon synth. you can just go in and program that shit, like today.
>>106837855Even setting music theory aside, anon could learn to play by ear and still get a better sounding result (once he gets gud) compared to relying on sequencing alone. In addition, you get shit done far faster when you can actually play a real-time performance rather than sequencing it.
>>106837881we're both on the other side of having learned that and are probably misremembering toward one extreme or the other how hard or easy it was to learn keyboard competently enough to feel like you were speeding yourself up rather than slowing yourself down. the reality is probably somewhere in the middle. im only saying -- if you want to make DUNGEONSYNTH, theres no need to make a mountain out of a molehill and put the goal of playing piano between yourself and recording a track. think of it like a hello world type project... learning your way around the DAW, piano roll, and some chord progs in a minor is way, way easier than learning to play piano and you can get a result you're proud of very quickly. then you'll have a reliable software environment where you can make use of all the stuff you create while doing the thing that will undoubtedly take longer, learning to play piano.
>>106837920continuing to learn piano will help anon learn about musical structure, phrasing, dynamics, etc., which is helpful in just about any genre (including dungeon synth & synthwave). Telling anon not to learn piano is ass-backwards advice. There is legitimately no reason for him to not learn piano, especially if he already started. Piano is the best way to learn theory and visualize the relationship of the keys in the context of a board of notes laid out in front of you, it's arguably THE instrument to learn if you're serious about producing just about anything. Why do you think DAWs even have a piano roll? Whether he chooses to go into the music theory rabbit hole or just get his feet wet with playing, I would strongly argue that he should learn piano. and telling him not to is bad advice.
>>106837992the number one mistake made by beginners is thinking they need to become experts first
>>106838031agree but that doesn't mean anon shouldn't play piano
>>106838046you'll learn enough one day that it will speed you up but if your goal is to make a track in a genre go learn how to do that and just that, then fan out and specialize in the parts of the production process you feel most skilled and motivated to continue in. maybe thats playing music. maybe its not.program sequencing is its own musical practice, by the way. knowing your way around a sequencer or piano roll is no different than knowing your way up and down the keyboard. well, it is different, about as different as the sax is from the keyboard. they're different instruments. but one is much, much easier to play. so much so, that it can be sped up or slowed down depending on your playerly competence.
>>106838081It would be harder to try and brute-force learning how to manually sequence everything until it sounds reasonable without ever playing piano/keys as part of the process of learning music creation, than it would to just learn piano as you go. Plus, it's way more fun to play the notes.I'm honestly baffled that you are sincerely giving advice to not play piano.
>>106838133im not, my advice is dont make "learn piano" one of the check boxes you need to accomplish to make a soundcloud subgenre track.
>>106837806learning a little piano will make his reps faster when he's figuring music out, he doesn't have to be grinding hanon but making chord shapes will be faster
>>106838288You say that like "learn piano" is a checkbox in the first place as if it's a completable task. You never stop learning an instrument, it's a skill you can always improve regardless of how long you've been at it.
>>106838986im saying, precisely, DONT think of it this way.those are things a beginner thinks. it is hard for one who knows, to recall how it was when he did not know. but thats one of the ways it is: you think you cant do Y until you do X, its not true though.
>>106838081>knowing your way around a sequencer or piano roll is no different than knowing your way up and down the keyboardNTAKnowing sequencer AND rudiments of any instrument (percussion, especially) is miles better than just sequencer: it's a shortcut to make better sequences.
>>106839176Alright, but he should still continue learning piano.There is no reason not to, unless you REALLY can't make any time for it.
Learning an instrument is fucking easy.Music theory is what you should be investing your time into.
>>106839232But you don't even have to invest time into learning music theory, you pick it up intuitively as you learn an instrument.
Bump
phase inversion is fucking weird man
phase inversion is fucking cool man

>>106840624>you pick it up intuitively as you learn an instrumentnah mane shit aint be workin like that
nah
>>106847888too bad one instance will take 40% of my cpu
>>106822601I use a hardware physical modeling synthesizer when I want real life instrument sounds, or sometimes FM as well as sample-based synthesis.
Am i retarded for installing debian 12 instead of debian 13? I figured debian 13 would be more stable on my 2020 acer aspire laptop, but ive been reading and it sounds like debian 13 is stable enough and their implementation of pipewire is supposed to be better, which means handling audio related programs should operate more smoothly.
