I'm going to make a dubstep album from 2011 just using fm8 massive ohmicide and melodyne

im writting this jungle tune , im using exclusively 90s techniques , everything is sampled breaks pads one shots and pure midi , all the delay , phasing , filtering , time stretching , flanging , delays and reverbs on certain break hits all done via midi and autistic sequencing of samples

my main problem is i dont know if it just sounds like trash or is there any potential in this

>>124192581
Agreed. This thread sucks shit. Shame on you op, I’m not going to click YouTube links spammed with no description, I do not care about celebrity gossip like j lo and diddy. Fuck off and go away

>>124193200
For active listening, yes. It feels like I'm watching a 15 second loop of footage from a 90s anime on /f/.

>>124194955
>all done via midi
Based.. but what do you really mean?
e.g. for flanging you're triggering the same sample with the second instance being triggered milliseconds later than the first trigger? Similar technique for delay/reverb: triggering the sample multiple times via midi and reducing the volume of subsequent instances to mimic delay/reverb?
..
I mean... technically effects can be triggered and automated via midi data as well. They had effect units back in the day, so it's still legit and probably even more appropriate to just go ahead and use them unless you're trying to larp as poor dudes who only had a tracker and were forced to work inside the box because they couldn't afford external instruments and effects.

what do you guys thinl?

>or if you're trying to genuinely do ghostemane or some memphis junt with those voices
I was just trying to make it sound edgelord-ish with the screamo shit

>>124195535
what im doing technically is slicing a break and sequencing it via midi , i mark kicks snares and shuffles in edison in fl studio and i put it in fl studio slicer and i put it in play through the whole sample mode , that way when u play 1 midi note after another right after it they play at the same time creating a flanging effect , if u shift the notes a bit apart and pitch it up it creates that timestretch effect , u can also control the filters in the midi as well as panning and pitch and slide those values up or down via slide notes , for example u can put a note for a snare and then u can put a slide note but on the slide note u put the cutoff value lower , that creates filter automation within midi , thats the way i created everything , 0 effects except a clipper on the master is used , all the delays and flanging effects and filters are done via midi , its very very close to how they did it in the 90s with trackers and akai samplers

>>124197593
i prefer this workflow cuz its way faster to me to create any effect i want in fl studio piano roll cuz im so familiar with it than to automate effects + this way i have extremely granular control over effects i do and since it's a minimal approach it forces me to think creatively and everything is right in one window and up to me to sequence it how i want which makes it way simpler than doing automations and shit etc

I find it so frustrating that I'm so insecure about my musical output. That I cant trust myself when it comes to wether or not my music is worthwhile or not.

Yesterday, I've was listening back to some of the songs I've put together over the last couple of months, thinking I hadnt listened to them for a couple of weeks and wanted to hear them with a fresh ear and I was really enjoying myself. Like nodding and fistbumping the air like a spastic, thinking my shit sounds actually really good.
Then I came back from work today, listened to the same fucking songs, on the same volume, same speakers and now it all sounds like shit. Nothing music, just a combination of chords, drums and sounds that barely pass as muzak.

I have the same issue with my mixes. One day the kick is too clicky, then the next day it's too muffled, the bass is too boomy, then it's too thin, vocals too loud, vocals too quiet.

I just wish there was some consistency to what I felt about my own music and I didnt flip flop between two extremes.
It's driving me nuts.

>>124198628
i've found it best to ensure i always feel like shit about my music by immediately comparing it to somebody who i want to be as good as to put me back in my place.

this is assuming the situation i was either being lazy for some reason or wasn't far along enough already to be using reference tracks, in which case i'd almost certainly already feel like shit, or average at best.

if you want to be good u should feel bad
if you want to have fun u should not care and not compare yourself
little pro tip from me to u fren ;)

>>124198630
Keep it up brother

>>124198628
Have you considered that your mood is affecting your capacity to judge your own work?

>>124198712
>if you want to have fun u should not care and not compare yourself
Sure, but theres always a part of me that wants my music to be as good as possible. I have music I've made purely for my own gratification. Music so cheesy and dated it would be embarassing to show to anyone. There is some drive in me to improve what I am doing, not that I aim for a career in music, but that when I die, my headstone will read "Here lies Anon, didnt amount to much, but could slap together a pretty banging tune"

>>124199051
I have, but then I would be frankly worried by how much my mood fluctuates. I know ear fatigue plays a part, after 8-9 hours of work, my hearing isnt as pristine as it is right out of bed, so shit lacks a bit of sparkle when I come homel late at night. I just wish there was some consistency or some part of me that could objectively say "well this is a decent song, this other one, not so much" despite fluctuations in mood. If there wasnt sunken cost into play, I would have probably deleted perfectly good songs off my harddrive in disgust.

Anyways, I'm just venting my frustrations, thanks for replying.

>>124199184
>sure, but theres always a part of me that wants my music to be as good as possible.
Song every day (etc) Improvement will follow if you're genuinely just trying new shit and tweaking all the the time.
Trust the process :^)

>>124199184
Sometimes I obsess over getting a piece of music right; I'll spend days obsessing over 5 voice counterpoint. But the result is usually something worth the struggle.
But then other days ill play something live in and out a few effects on it and call it done. And I'm often happy with those ones, too.
I dunno if its helpful but from my perspective I think not every piece of music you make needs to be held to the exact same standard. Sometimes you need to recognize that you were trying something different or learning something new or even just trying to get the fucking thing finished. I don't mind hearing a piece of music I made and going "well I'd do THAT differently" because at least I know I'm in a position to change it if I can tell what the problem is. Give yourself the credit you deserve when you deserve it, cut yourself the slack you deserve when you deserve it, and be honest about what bits didn't work and you would fix if you did it again, the move on and do another one with the lessons learned.
Gotta be a shark, man.

>>124199822
You're saying a compressor's only for recorded instruments?

>>124199849
no I'm saying you're not running into scenarios where a compressor is needed because the sounds you're using are all ready processed, mixed and probably heavily compressed.

>>124199798
Use compression to change the tone not to control peaks you DOOFUS

>>124199964
a clipper doesn't tame peaks though it literally clips them off and a compressor is just going to compress the clip like if you compress anything in real life. imagine you have a really big dick (can just imagine, right) and you can't fit your partner. using a compressor would be just shrinking your dick until you can fit, and clipping would be actually chopping the tip off. both lets you fit in but very different procedures

>>124200530
That's not a good analogy at all. When cut a peak off it shortens but the top is unnecessary and it doesn't affect the sound except make things smoother. When you cut your dick off it will not be like that, so don't do it, just live out who you are, be gay

not the same anon but ive been doing jungle since the 90's with a lot of hardware. What you have done sounds pretty good, you need some filtered pads or something in the upper mid frequency range. its missing some kind of melodic element coming in & out, you could spread out the arrangement more to make it more sparse without it becoming boring, it would improve the structure. The drums & edits are in the right place but you need to download akaizer to do proper sounding phase/timestretch effects and you should redo your breaks into amigo sampler for proper 12bit jungle style (buy it, the devs deserve it & its only $10). Amigo/akaizer would make a world of difference if you want it to sound like proper jungle.

hows the mix https://voca.ro/1bEszqhCTNjx

>>124200932
I only listened to ten seconds and I skipped around but I will say that you used the main riff too often and the vocals sound amateur at best

https://vocaroo.com/16KaCofUmGiq

>>124203843
it's actually easy , you come up with a vocal harmony over the song u made , after that u punch in vocals over and over until u have a finished song , u punch in a phrase until it sounds good and u just keep going and mixing is easy if u have good equipment and if u do a good performance , which i covered how to do previously , as far as actual vocal production goes what u make sure is that it sounds good in mono and that u can hear everything clear and loud , everything else is like icing on the cake

I mean like, the actual instrumental, focusing on the melodies and what not.
Unless you're specifically trying to be meme-able or anthemic (and even then it's debatable), lyrics are genuinely one of the least important things for writing a good song.
It's not even icing on the cake, they're like sprinkles that help point at an aesthetic direction

this doesn't really go anywhere, 9 minutes of filler, but it's regarded as a masterpiece by his fans. he has other tracks that are completely unlistenable. it's not the same as the cave story ost, but that doesn't make it bad, the cave story dev might have made a lot of money off of his game but not off of his music like deadmau5.

Opera composers often work with a librettist for a reason. Vocal melody and lyrics work best when they are made for each other, but the creation of each is a separate skill and process.

keep going, anon, it will produce results eventually for when you get that spark.

As frustrating as it is to not have the skill/energy/inspiration/time to get the most out of an idea straight away, just have some patience and keep the ideas flowing.

>>124219922
sounds great

i would thin the hell out of the hihat/drums way more to sound like an 80s mix, further back in the mix which could probably be solved without eq and just lowering the volume since they're too in front of everything else. gated reverb on them couldn't hurt either.
also a judgement call but maybe a bit more gain/crunch on the rhythm guitar in the verse section (but still sounding "clean" but more blues dirty then clean back up for the chorused chorus)

glad to know theres only minor adjustments that jump out in the mix at this stage since im still on arrangement. good idea about the guitar tone, ill make it crunchier to give variety. also need to make that section a little tighter.

I'm new to FL studio and music production in general and every time I listen to something I make a few hours later it sounds like dogshit, any tips?

https://vocaroo.com/12qbzoRp2fnA

>>124220346
keep making songs and you might have something decent in 5 years

>>124220393
Thanks. Also idk any music theory. I'm a guitar player who uses guitar pro to make tabs with drums, export as MIDI and then upload it into FL studio to mess with. Not sure if that's completely retarded way to go

>>124220591
that's totally valid, i have friends that program in gp then bring it to a daw via midi (easier to work in gp than musescore). good experience is grabbing song tabs and covering them yourself playing the guitar parts in the daw and arranging/mixing those tracks

>>124215362
I've said it before in a shitposty tone but I honestly don't think that chord progressions are a helpful idea.

>>124220346
I like it

"chords this melody that"

start with a CONCEPT dude get a HOOK
ur chords aint shit without a rhythm
make a cool sound start with a REFERENCE

did these drums today, it's pretty different from what I normally make, I can't tell if these are cool or just boring, what do you think this is worth continuing?

Spirfire's legato sounds so good but I prefer the controls and sound of CineSamples.

Like, Spitfire just sounds a lot more emotional compared to CineSamples which sounds colder.

13 days of practice in a row. Learned 2 songs from kingdom hearts but all American rejects it ends tonight is so fucking hard. I learned the KH songs in about an hour each. With how good practice is going I'm not sure when I'll get back to producing. I'm also not really sure how I'm going to translate this practice into my production. It seems like video game songs are a lot easier to learn than real songs. Maybe it's just because I suck right now I think this way.

>>124220346
Part of the fun is making something horrific and listening back to it and having the thoughts "what the fuck was i thinking?" You have to make over 100 songs before you really get something good. Even then it won't be exactly what you want but you get closer to not being shit when you just make music

>>124220346
>>124220591
As another noob who started in the same way, it took me a while to realise that my ideas were always better when I started by noodling around on the guitar, cause that's what I know, then using the chords/melody to make something with synths/vsts etc. as a starting point. I found out the hard way that starting with my synths/vsts in the piano roll playing on my midi controller would always make me play weird shit that sounded good initially to me, but was really hard to take anywhere further, cause it's a completely different skill set. Going back to the guitar to mess around and riff over a loop I'd already got together earlier from transcribed guitar stuff was way more intuitive and produced better results. I don't think it was bad to do what I did exactly, cause I learned enough to make the guitar>DAW process much easier for myself (already collected samples, synths and vsts that would help, learning to use effects and navigating the DAW etc. ), but really the tldr is don't get discouraged and try everything so you can learn what works best for you.

I think the arrangement and sound is good, the notes are not harmonizing. Or I have retarded ears.

>>124221477
seems like that would be the best way to go for me also, i know nothing about piano and would really prefer to keep it that way. Been playing guitar for a long time, just by learning tabs on songsterr lol

>>124218391
This is cool anon is it an improv? it feels on the verge of being avant garde/free and then coalescing back into rhythm which I really like, though there is a fine line to ride between this and sounding sloppy. That's kind of the essence of playing jazz lol. The sounds you used are very cool also.
>>124219922
Those little flairs on the guitar are sweet. I think your lead could use a little more oomph though with some compression or an amp sim perhaps? You're right about the midi drums being tough in this context, I think the answer is either to lean into it more i.e. have more electronic sounding drums, or find a dummer/get a small kit and learn because live drums are irreplaceable. Your drum patterns sound pretty good but that snare does get a bit repetitive, modulation is a big thing that will make computer drums sound more organic.
>>124221486
I dig this, love the asonant chords and jazziness. I will pretty much always take jazz influence in my house music yes please
>>124218371
Dumbo lol. Actually pretty sick seems like a difficult thing to chop up and it comes together nice, it just needs a little fleshing out and some bars to really sell it it.

>>124221583
Thanks anon I will expand it. I feel like I struggle a lot with drums and getting interesting non-repetitive drum patterns, I cop out and use simpler patterns a lot. I often envy you folks who are so good at programming drums and chopping breaks

Damn this sounded cool but I just zoned out and added wayy too much shit and now it's a mess

That's actually sad, dude sounds like he's on the verge of suicide and he unironically brought up how he's mad because his channel isn't doing well. Lots of miserable people out there who have an unhealthy relationship with music and view it as a competition, like they haven't gotten the recognition they felt they deserve so they lash out at their "inferiors" who became more successful. Reminds me of Venus Theory and Benn Jordan.

I wouldn't feel so bad because he just makes random videos and still makes a living through milking his whale followers. He says he's sick of every tutorial being just an ad or people that don't know shit and point you to splice or some pack, but 95% of his tutorial content is paywalled and he lives off of preset packs

was just playing around and found this nastiness

I've heard enough amen breaks for 50 lifetimes, it's just an instant turnoff. There are so many interesting different things you can do with drums/percussion, I don't understand how everyone isn't sick of copy pasting the same loop by now. b urself

>>124225327
That's a good point, I do need to get better at drum programming. It's a little bit of a crutch. I just don't know enough about drumming I suppose. I'm gonna watch some videos about that. Thanks for the help, seriously
