If you want to update your track, make a new post.Include the song title in the post, and make it clear that your song is a submission for the album.You must include a screenshot of your DAW - this is to verify the track is not AI-generated.Optionally you may include cover art for your track, but please confirm that the image in your post is the cover art or it won't be included.You may also add a pseudonym to be included in the track metadata, but it must not be one you already use on music platforms.Songs that violate YouTube's policies won't be uploaded there, but they will still be added to the album.By default, tracks will be normalised to -14 LUFS (integrated loudness) in the release. You may specify a lower loudness for your song. Light-touch mastering is sometimes applied to improve the consistency between tracks.Use of AI is banned - This includes AI generated stems, samples, and effects. "AI" includes all neural network-based models and not hard-coded automation/procedural generation.

>>108451826Why is this thread so dead, is there another one outside of /g/?Either way, what DAW do you recommend for making electronic music?
>>108452432>is there another one outside of /g/?If I tell you will you promise to keep posting in /dmp/?>>108452432>making electronic musicFL studio 11 and 12 is good at that, later versions feel awkward somehow. It comes with the stock plugins you need.I've used Reaper too and it's more general-purpose. You'd have to source your own plugins.
>>108453489>If I tell you will you promise to keep posting in /dmp/?I don't post in this general at all unfortunately
>>108453514Well there is >>>/mu/prod/
>>108453555Well I mean I'm not gonna post there either>>108453489>FL StudioIs that the best DAW for that? How does it compare to something like Ableton Live and Logic Pro?
>>108453590>Ableton Live and Logic ProI dunno, I've only used the DAWs I mentioned plus Ardour. FL is the best of the three for electronic music specifically.
>>108453612How do I really attempt to get into electronic music production though? I've clicked the links in the OP and the advice seems rather vague desu. I know essentially nothing, except that I've tried to do something in FL Studio like 8-9 years ago or so without actually knowing anything. I need to read some books, perhaps?
>>108453659It helps if you know an instrument, keyboard in particular for electronic music. Did you get any formal music education in school?
>>108453688No, I don't know anything
>>108453590>Is that the best DAW for that? How does it compare to something like Ableton Live and Logic Pro?Why don't you trial them and find out? You never know, you might find one you prefer working with.
this is apthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZ2oXzrnti4
>>108453805>>108453659>I've tried to do something in FL Studio like 8-9 years ago or so without actually knowing anything.12 years ago, I used to watch shit like this:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VvcJzS1OGI8https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwNW8bcpJOMhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tqCliPAJruYhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PAoVxuSIevcNowadays, I use LMMS, but regardless of which software you plan to use, it's often easier to learn from these crappy "how it's made" videos than the bullshit expert tutorials that waste your time imo.Also, remember to LISTEN to the kind of music you want to make, ffs.

>>108453659I heard there's a site called youtube, I had an uncle who used that to learn how to tie his shoes
>>108458273I wouldn't call that structured learning
This is sickeninghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gQP6H3EQWE
Bump
i accidentally fucked up my w7 installation trying to install fedora next to it so I'm reinstalling all my shit, might do another submission though. I'm going through all my vsts and realizing i dont use half of this shit and some of it i don't even remember installing
Is Bitwig any good or is it just Evil Ableton?
>>108462792zoomer core short attention span garbage workflow that is surprisingly responsive and well written by german autists.
>>108462792It runs on GNU/Linux natively
>>108463281>>108463718Ah, I see. It looks like the rainbow RGB version of Ableton on first glance.
>>108462792Bitwig is for the DIY minded. Ableton has a lot of similar stuff these days but it's still packaged for retards.
>>108451826If I finish an idnb track in time, and I also do a "trance" version of the track, would you post it to the YT?
>>108466506Not sure why they would, that just invites anyone to make secondary submissions of whatever genre. Not really the point of the channel or the albums....
>>108466506Yes but as a single rather than part of the album
fucckkk i want to make a song in 120bpm not 175bpm
>>108461879>might do another submissionnope i lied im out of ideas. oh well i guess ill start to learn how to do a movie score
>>108469011Thanks, that's what I was asking. Not to be on the album>>108468752Wouldn't ask for it to be in the album, just on the channel.
don't die plox
oh yeah i was supposed to work on my track today>>108475535can I just put forth a suggestion: in the future, make all deadlines Sunday evenings? That way we can go into crunch mode for 2 days straight? I can't do that during the week. It would also give you a full week to finish your video mastering
>>108475565Yeah sure we can do that starting with album 20
>>108475657Thanks, just makes it easier for me to plan. I can't always guarantee I'd have time in the middle of a week for last minute changes and a final render
>>108452432>Why is this thread so deadcause you not submitting your work
the lack of FSF anthems is discouragingi hereby submit shitty lofi voice drum and bass with relevant lyrics for yall to play around with (GPLv3)https://filebin.net/wvtfz587nakvhzum
>>108470375I lied again, heres another oneSubmission for the albumTitle: Sea Changehttps://files.catbox.moe/13ul2n.flacI put this together in a few hours today, mixed on tired ears but it sounds in the ball park. Feel free to fuck with it if the bass is too loud.
I can never read the word "submission" the same way again after that one anon made a sex joke about it.
>>108476478Based Reaper user.
>>108475995That's because I don't know how to produce music at all and I don't even know how to learn it in a structured way
>>108451826I've almost got a basis of a track, just need to sort the bass notes out and then arrange a mixdown.
I've almost started making a track, just need to open the .exe of my DAW and get it on.
Work in progress.https://vocaroo.com/12luBSHCctsa
what's the tempo for intelligent dnb?
>>108481586same tempo as your sister getting dicked
>>108481614alright, so 170bpm
>>108481586I'm doing 170
Well, that's neat! So instead of using the weekend to complete one of my 700 unfinished projects so I can say I released SOMETHING this month, I slept through saturday, and then attempted to remix Skrillex's newest shitstain into a mid-90's trance song today.https://vocaroo.com/171pcimb8IdTNow, what you hear is a RAW recording of me manually muting & unmuting tracks within the 4-bar loops I've made, just so you can get an idea. It's way more fun than trying to come up with a structure, cuz coming up with a structure means having to come up with a bunch of other shit to fill in the gaps with. I forgot to add a crash cymbal but fuck it. Feedback's appreciated.Thanks for reading my blog!
>>108482513breddy gud. what's going on with the snare, is that a gated reverb?
holy shit I think I actually have all the parts I need for my track, I just need to arrange it now from a 45 second loop into a real... track>>108482513Not for me. Doesn't quite sound trancy... Seems like it has all the elements, but it's too repetitive, not enough layers interacting with each other, not enough fullness, not enough feeling of progression. It's also missing a breakdown.
some of you are cutting it real close
>>108483004we'll see
ok yeah this might end being my shortest track yet... lolfucking procrastination
>>108483004it's never too late to start!
>>108451826I really don't like Steve Duda.>Makes a good synth>Charges literally 10x a reasonable price for it>Spergs massively about piracy, goes very out of his way to shut down any piracy of his software, much more so than any other plugin makers>I for one pirated it only because the price is totally fucking insane, I actually wanted to pay for it and paid for all my reasonably priced plugins, but it was just way too much>He makes absolutely no concessions, no 'please pay if you can afford it' type talk, all piracy is theft outright and if you don't want to pay the extortionate price then he doesn't want you using his software>Later Vital came out doing 90% of what Serum does FOR FREE just to prove how outrageous it is>Serum 2 comes out>It's the same ludicrous price>He says he made so much money off Serum 1 he could have easily retired but instead he decided to make Serum 2>So in other words he is absolutely fucking loaded and did not need to charge so much or go so hard on piracy, except for selfishness>Now he's getting glazed for being so magnanimous as to do a job like everyone else does, instead of just sit around???>If he cares about the community he now has the opportunity to give people the base experience of Serum 1 for cheap, and charge the higher price for the new version>Instead he pulls Serum 1 completely except for those who have purchased Serum 2>Also gives Serum 1 owners a free upgrade to Serum 2>I understand that he didn't have to do this, but they already paid for 10 pieces of software and received only one, so adding another is not that generous>Whole of the prod internet is gushing about what a great samaritan he is, how much he cares for the community instead of just chasing moneyI feel like I'm going mad when I see this shit. Serum is good but I mean come on, he has proven himself to be pretty selfish and greedy over the years, how did he come out of all this with the exact opposite public perception?
>>108483693There is a very good interview of him on Ableton's youtube channel. Seems like a good dude.
>>108483693got both cracked and working, never touched is because got into hardware instead. Payining for software is for fags.
>>108483765I've watched a lot of his interviews and I think that is the issue - he SEEMS like a good dude, and it's not like he's really uniquely horrible or anything, he's just looking out for himself ahead of anyone else. Seems he grew up fairly wealthy, maybe he can't understand why its tough to morally justify asking a little monkey man in a favela to pay a literal entire months wages to use his software.
>>108484160he’s worked in customer support and moved to mexico to retire. Prolly not loaded loaded, just an odd guy.
>>108484160You're a clown. You don't need Serum. You WANT it because of fomo. If you don't think it's worth the asked price, don't use it. But don't pretend he's some asshole just because he wants to get rich off of his own creation and he doesn't make any concessions towards your ridiculous views of the world. Again, you don't need Serum. Learn how synthesizers actually work. Use your brain for once.
>>108485035When there was a big fuss about Kanye pirating it he said he'd made more than 10 million from it, and it was still quite new then so I assume its much more now. Plus they have a bunch of other products, and he would've got a fair amount of money for working on deadmau5 stuff, especially since he was allegedly ghostwriter on a lot of it. I think his master stroke from a business perspective was the $10 a week thing. Again, people act like he did this as some kind of a favour to the community to help people afford it, but really he was just concealing the obscene price and making it look affordable to poor people. I mean all this only worked out for him because it is such a good synth, and there are a lot of other companies charging hundreds of dollars for theirs too. But no one acts like the others are doing some sort of a charity, everyone complains about prices usually. I just can't really make sense of it. Why isn't Matt Tytel considered a hero for giving away Vital for free, not only that but he even gave away the source code. People mostly seem to complain about him for not giving enough support to the community. It's a weird world.
>>108485106I'm not complaining that he wants to get rich, I am saying that there is a massive disparity between the way he is perceived by the community and his actions.Weird of you to assume things about me. When did I say I need serum? I already pirated it years ago and no longer use it. I'll show you something crazy real soon.
>>108482987You're thinking of late-90's euphoric trance. Go listen to some Eye Q Records stuff from 1994, it's pretty close to what I've made here.
Fine, I'll make the logo
How do you go about recreating a synth sound?I want to recreate this one https://files.catbox.moe/grifee.wavThere's 100% a saw wave in there, but aside from that I've got no fucking clue what to do, tutorials don't help at all, they're made by nerds who use fancy words like "layering" and "color change" like a noob is going to catch any of that
>>108482513>RAW recording of me manually muting & unmuting tracks within the 4-barThat is basically what is meant by 'mixing', just no one says so. You get you elements, fire them off and mixing the parts in and out to make the arrangement. Fuck it up? Start again. It's been that way for years. You're just recording a jam is all.
Has anyone actually ever used an ipad succesfully for music? Like, it seems so retarded to me, no keyboard shortcuts so you're limiting yourself

>>108486080Oh and mixing by mouse loses the vibe, it's probably why a lot of EDM on beatport sounds so bland and by the numbers and 90s productions have soul
>>108486580FL Mobile on a tablet was bearable with a mouse
>>108483004submitting tomorrow
>>108487859Same
I have no idea if my track counts as Intelligent DNB but it has a sample that literally says the word "intelligence" multiple times so it has to count I guess
>>108489057you need to have a very high IQ to understand this genre.
>>108489111Checked and I dont' so I'm just winging it
>>108489057Fagchan accepted that shite PLASTICO song as Intelligent DnB, so I don't see why heavy metal couldn't be considered too.
