is it possible to route two tracks through Bus 1, while also sending only one of those tracks to Bus 2 separately for individual processing
>>127741503Which daw?
>>127741503Duplicate bus 1 and send track 1 to that duplicated bus instead.
>>127740846Yeah, probably.
>>127741519frooty luip>>127741583that's what I usually do
>>127741635>that's what I usually doCan you apply individual processing to track 2 before it gets to bus 1? or does the processing have to be after bus 1?
https://vocaroo.com/1IASCJFxq8Bnneeds more stuffs>>127741758the order doesn't matter, i'm just trying to optimize cpu usage. i guess it would be better to figure out which bus to prioritize that requires the most processing or handles the largest amount of routing.

How feasible is it to turn my apartment's closet into a miniature vocal recording room? Is a laptop acceptable to have in such a room or is a desktop preferable?
I'm trying to get started on music productionI play guitar, ukulele and an old yamaha psr keyboardwhich free DAWs do you guys recommend? i keep seeing reaper, cakewalk and waveform getting recommended, but im not even sure which features to compare to pick oneI heard reaper has the most users, so it should be easier to find tutorials and such. is this correct? is reaper good? does anyone here use it or do you all just pirate expensive ones?
>>127746027I could never afford a proper setup but most of my stuff was done through cracked FL studio and Adobe Audition
>>127739870You rarely hear these complaints about the equivalent models from Yamaha and Fostex
>>127746027Roland Virtual Studio.
>>127739870>>127746090>>127739698Are Portastudios really that bad?
it’s Buchla, for me
>>127746207I remember hearing about Tascam build quality issues when looking up their US-series interfaces. The preamps on those had an odd nyquist whistle whine in the background at full gain
>>127746383Me too.
>>127745606a laptop's fans are going to be too loud
>>127746568nice, congrats anon
>>127746207no troubles with my mk1
>>127746430My 414 had a LOT of gain on tap, more than I ever had to use. The pan knobs were pretty chintzy and started crackling and cutting out after a year. But the recordings sounded good and I liked the dbx noise reduction.
>>127746594I have the Behringer 2600 clone. It's nice. Big sucker, even though it's smaller than the real deal considerably.
>>127746650My Easel is a BEMI. Any updates on beringers clone of the easel? Havnt been paying much attention since they never came though with the Synthi
massive x lets you set custom sync times so you can snap to certain times and shit that's pretty swag NO OTHER SYNTH waow Native Instruments is not a failing company :thumbs_up:
>>127739698this is super retarded but i finally figured out how to sync multiple synths using midi LOLits so fun
>>127746640I never got why they gave the interfaces worse preamps than the actual multitracks, it's not like giving the full gain stage would overload the USB connection
https://voca.ro/19jhUOoS5Ep4made a day ago
>>127746582What about a macbook?
>>127747616I've only ever used a Focusrite for a digital interface and I have to almost max out the gain when using a SM57 on acoustic instruments.They now have the old Portastudio gain stage in a box for guitarists lolhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGEne6M1EoY&
>>127747799>They now have the old Portastudio gain stage in a box for guitaristsThis reminds me of that April fools skit they did about a pedal that emulated dying batteries or whatever -- god, I wish that was real.
>>127747799>They now have the old Portastudio gain stage in a box for guitarists loli was excited until i saw 250 usd like that's not just as fucking bad as the originals getting jacked up prices what the fuckone day i'm going to just sit there and record like two hours of disgusting distorted dry stream of consciousness guitar improvisations and awful singing like i originally intended to as a teenager.and nobody will enjoy it (on purpose!!! xD)i sold out so hard...
https://vocaroo.com/15VuQhb6ynj8
>>127748085>two hours of disgusting distorted dry stream of consciousness guitar improvisations and awful singingThe best :3I could probably stomach $120 for the pedal, but $250 is bonkers.>>127748168Sounds like music you would hear on an eastern european low budget ... film.
i've had writers block for 2 days what the FUCK
>>127748369Can't force it be P8
>>127748650um actually I CAN and i will
made a huge mistake by buying a groove box. it's fun but at the end of the day I'm using a work flow that is slower and less flexible than just getting used to a daw, even if clicking around with a mouse blows.

>>127749021… maybe i don’t compress enough
>>127749021>-30db reduction
just paid for this
>>127749492why
>>127749492Just remember that being a master of sound won't make you a master of music. Music skills like playing an instrument, singing or composing are completely different path from sound engineering. Buying some cheap keyboard, downloading Musescore (free) and learning how to create a five minute composition for string quartet will give you far greater insight into music.
>>127739736I like it. You should listen to some lorenzo senni>>127746383u the bugbrand guy?how is the easel does it live up to the insane levels of hype? lets hear something

>>127741503nigga how would you split it into two again after having squashed it all onto one bus? (unless you do stereo left/right)gotta duplicate that bus obvs

>>127753318I ignored this shit for ages because I downloaded creamcoat when I was completely fresh to producing and thought it was shit. Didn't want to get anything else because of how annoying and un-user friendly it all was. Got consolidated a day or so ago and tried a few things out on something I was working on and got instant results. Feels like I could load certain stuff onto almost any sound to bring out something good in them. Mindblowing that this guy just does it for free. I can finally forgive him for his schizo videos and just appreciate the results.
Quick question, when mastering on headphones is it a good idea to attempt to EQ my headphones beforehand to a target like Harman, or will I lose something?
>>127753874if they are literally the worst headphones ever and you're going to replace them in the future, it might be something to consider, but if they are somewhat decent you should probably just learn your headphones bro lol
>>127746207Over the years I had a Tascam then 2 Fostex amd finally a Yamaha 4-track cassette. All broke eventually. Usually it was one track stopped working or the power supply broke repeatedly. I think Fostex had the clearest sound and the simplest controls. I only mess with Reaper more recently.

>>127747799I think your unit is defective, the mic is bad, or mic position is too far if gain is a problem, I've never had that issue in Focusrites I've used. That might be worth buying an external preamp for or upgrading your interface.There's a lot of "haha guitarists are so stupid" but these kinds of clipping boosts/preamps are really useful for synth and drum machines that people would normally overload into mixers or other outboard gear.>>127748085>i was excited until i saw 250 usd like that's not just as fucking bad as the originals getting jacked up prices what the fuckI'd consider it if it had XLR in, but that's the state of pedals now. We don't live in the $99 a pedal world anymore. It's probably $70-80+ worth of parts (or more now with tariffs), so pedals tend to be priced at 3-4x their cost and retailers get a cut. Wait til you can find one on sale during holidays or used, it does react to how you play and pres/distortion are about the only things worth buying that you still can't exactly recreate in the box.Used Portra market has been crazy for years, but there are other pedals that clone the circuit. For using a Portra as a preamp, this is cheaper, more reliable, and more portable than gambling on buying some used unit that you don't even know works. If you're really upset about the price, try to build a clone or buy from someone and you won't be saving a ton of money or time for similar specs.I have the Colour Box which I use for guitar, bass, voice, DI, and reamping. It's great for dialing in tones baked with gain/EQ that don't need much if any post-processing in the daw. I wish I would have bought any kind of preamp with EQ sooner
>>127753318which air windows plugs are kino besides totape
https://vocaroo.com/177MXYdjrwMqdoes this suck cock i literally cant tell anymore
>>127754619It's getting there. Good bones but just not quite hitting, something about is a little thin/flat... or it's missing something. I also think you could draw the intro out for one, your sound there is very airy so putting more space in there compositionally could go well I think. Continue that vocal hook thing too, I can picture this sounding really good with a little more work!
>>127754142These are awesome anon very Chrono-Triggery. And the last one reminds me of the cheesiest sort of prog metal/thrash which I have a soft spot for :) Did you write all the parts?
how i learned to stop worrying and love the compression:https://vocaroo.com/1eL0UZzB1mIjthank you justice!
>>127755119yea its all midi :)
>>127754581All of them Every single one
>>127750783I got some bugs too yeah. easel is really nice especially thanks to different folk making fun aux cards… like Tokyo Tape or Portabellabz, the Destiny + released some interesting ones the morphing dual phaser looks nice but I havnt been able to find them for sale https://www.destiny-plus.com/easel-card-concepts

Cubase is objectively the best DAW
>>127757176i like fruity loops
>>127748168Not bad, I like it bro, even if it was a bit short play time!!
>>127757211I like all DAWs but cubase saved me from a dark pit of despair

I'm sampling old MIDI files. IOW I am just lifting shit right from them and remixing them. I got this Russian collection of 560,000 MIDI files and there are some incredibly detailed arrangements of damn near every song you can think of and more. I am plugging them into my RM1X and just going apeshit with 'em.
>>127759417>I got this Russian collection of 560,000 MIDI files and there are some incredibly detailed arrangements of damn near every song you can think of and moreDo you have a link?
>>127757710>release a sampler without slicingclassic Elektron. also reminder that transfering samples to Elektron devices takes like 5 years.
>>127755493why totape 7 instead of 8?
>>127754142I wish I could use these types of sound fonts for my game but they're technically not legal to use unless you're sourcing the sounds from the romplers they were originally sourced from like Roland SC-55 and what have you.
>>127760180Is the lack of slicing a serious drawback or is it one of those yagni situations
>>127760223It was considered to be cool and new back with the Akai MPC 60 in 1988.
>>127760192>not making a General MIDI soundtrack and leaving it up to your players to get a proper Sound CanvasLet me know if you need anybody to make a logo.
>>127760184you get more control in 7- overly cumbersome for most people but it lets you fuck up the sound in ways that aren’t intended and usually sound awful.for general use definitely just use 8 though. (idr if the actual “guts” of it were changed in a meaningful way but you can check his blog posts).
>>127755475ahahah do you just buy everything that gets shilled on lines? good stuff I only have the bugs compressor and delay but they're both godly
>>127759417lmao we used to call that "ringtones"
I've been using Reaper for years for guitars/live instruments but now I am getting more into EDM/Beats. >Talk me out of buying Fl studio>It's piano roll is calling me
>>127759417Source? I am always checking midi>>127760651Porter Robinson claims another
>>127749021I watched the whole thing.In the clip they mention using Melodyne to compress, and I thought it was just the note rebalance thing that lowers/increases the volume of the different slices/notes, but it turns out there's this whole sound editor section:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdL3yjzubuQWould need to try it to say for sure, but from what I'm seeing it's absolutely insane for both mixing and sound design. Possible new META even.The rest is also pretty interesting. They talk about their workflow, the creative choices, etc.A couple things that stood out to me:They use Nicky Romero's Kickstart for a lot of their sidechaining, and they said they've used Metasynth a lot since their first album.Cross was mixed entirely in the box, and that their mastering chain in Cubase was a long chain of compressors and distortion (Quadrafuzz, using its multiband saturation to essentially EQ the master) to the point of basically not needing any mixing and also not being able to control anything lolAnd last but not least, Kevin Parker said this:https://i.4cdn.org/wsg/1758018133615899.webmLook at his fucking face.I KNOW that he said it specifically to fuck with us and you won't be able to change my mind.
>>127754619yeah it is shit
>>127760702schizojustice are pulling your chain with the whole video. justice have never been honest about their gear or production. it is all bullshit to add some mystique
>>127760223have you never shortened a sample before using it?
