Hi I want to start sampling in my songs but have questions about the legality of it that I can’t find clear answers to.I’ve (regrettably) started listening to a tranny breakcore artist and he samples in lots of his songs. He has all of his albums on Bandcamp and only some on Spotify. In one of his older albums not on Spotify he samples from lots of huge artists (Nicki Minaj, the band Chicago, It Wasn’t Me by Shaggy, Missy Elliot etc). Assuming it’s not a personal decision because it’s an older album I take it this probably wouldn’t be allowed on Spotify because he hasn’t gotten permission to use the samples and they aren’t royalty free like the Amen Break? I haven’t listened to his newer stuff but despite that I think it still samples popular songs and artists. It definitely samples from indie and smaller artists, is that allowed or do you think he probably got permission? Is sampling anything and publishing without permission allowed on Bandcamp? What can I put up on Spotify when I get around to publishing my songs?
Does /prod/ have any recs for digital pianos?I want a new portable digital. Willing to spend upwards of ~$2000 on something premium. Must have built-in speakers and a good keybed; will mainly be used for practice, but also public performances from time to time. I have a few ones I'm considering but want to know if anons have any opinions.
When I record a clip using FL studio and my guitar (through a Focusrite Scarlett), usually this noise comes up at the end of the the clip, even when I'm absolutely not playing. Like something cutting off?How can I avoid this?
>>128222444The Amen break isn't royalty free. They just won't sue you for using it (probably).
>>128222461I got a Kawai CA65 maybe a decade ago now and I like it more than my upright acoustic. It's probably too bulky to be something that you would constantly be moving, like if you needed to take it to a venue for a performance -- if that's a big desire, you'll want to focus on stage pianos.I'd recommend going to a store and playing a bunch of different brands firsthand to see what you like the most.t. classical pianist>>128219664Always.I'm sad that Alejandro (Reapertips) hasn't posted anything new in 6 months, but it likely has everything you'll need already.
>>128223900>I'd recommend going to a store and playing a bunch of different brands firsthand to see what you like the most.I wish I could, but no music stores in my area have more than 3 pianos to try. Although a music chain near me is opening a piano showroom "soon" so I'm hoping they'll have enough on the digital side so I can try each kind of action to decide what I prefer.I'm not classically trained, I've been a (self-taught) pianist for a long time and now I want to take it more seriously.
Man I got a good jam going but I need to figure out the cheese (breakdown).

https://vocaroo.com/1oQo7sbZNJWOstill just need someone with proper monitors to check if my low end is blowing up or not enough. mixing in headphone and referencing on jbl flip speaker.
>>128223625What does it sound like? I'm also going through the pain of figuring out recording guitar in FL with a Scarlett, and the only advice I could offer is make sure you are recording a clean DI (no effects, amp Sims etc. active on the mixer channel), be recording through input 2 and set your input levels/gain staging correctly.
>>128225987I can't listen to it for long without laughing at the hihats that sound like image related, especially during the drum fills cos it sounds like the typist is pausing for breath, those are the best parts
>>128216656Naa>>128219589Add some filters and some risers / impactsAlso you can touch up the velocity on the bellsIm working on new composition. Thinking of singing on it too. Any feedback would be cozy!https://vocaroo.com/1hApgnNhMn7t

Is there a free tool to figure out a song's LUFS level and max dBTP that is faster than real-time? I am using dpMeter but it requires playing the whole song
>>128229251youlean loudness meter
https://vocaroo.com/1n3ZYUD9AukYis this a good idea. i feel iffy about it.
>>128226193>What does it sound like?It sounds like I'm smashing my fretting hand on all strings.https://vocaroo.com/18ET1Rw2iNLS>make sure you are recording a clean DI (no effects, amp Sims etc. active on the mixer channel), be recording through input 2 and set your input levels/gain staging correctlyThanks, anon. Unfortunately, I'm already recording pre-processing with the right input and gain. Surprisingly, it only makes that noise at the very last moment of recording clips; everything works perfectly otherwise.
>>128225987Low end has a lot of sustain on the kick. Makes it overbearing after a while. Also yeah the hihats are a bit abrasive.
This might be out of place here, but I haven't found a "sound designer thread" so I'll just ask here, but where do sound effects designers hang out at? Where could I lurk to find one to commission for a project?
>>128229473I think only the pro version can do that
>>128229855That doesn't sound like clean DI, though? Does this happen if you just record into a blank mixer channel as well? Start a new project with an empty template so you know there's nothing in it to interfere and just record the clean DI quickly into a random mixer channel. If you still have the problem, it's potentially an issue with your focusrite or the guitar itself. If not, it could be something in your project. Helps you narrow it down slightly at the very least.
In the context of rock music, here's some things I learned. I produce music alone for my own satisfaction. I'll lurk and answer any questions.
>>128230593What's your recording order?Mine is (programming) drums -> rythm guitar -> bass -> lead guitar (a treat for the end of a project)
>>128216656DAWs are a tool anon, and fun is what you make of it.
>>128230645Same order, but my projects have a couple more steps:---> Synth (8bit) --> Lead Vocals --> Backing Vocals (my favorite part)
>>128230751Care to post one?>vocalsI'll never get to record those as my friends aren't invested in "our" band at all and they're too lazy to get a DAW. Feels bad man.
>>128230776https://voca.ro/12DJuduLg7Iawork in progress, vocals not recorded yet
>>128219589>how do I make these better?Start by asking yourself more specific questions. "Better" is somewhat subjective. What do you like about these? What do you dislike? How do these feelings compare to your feelings on music that inspires you? I think your best bet is to listen to more music with the intention of understanding why you like it.. and then make music that emulates that, until you start to get a feel for it all. Right now, these just don't sound very put together
>>128229855Are you sure you're not just.. touching something when you go to stop the recording?
>>128231068Haha, no. The recording automatically stops. Doesn't matter if I'm muting all the strings when the recording stops or not touching my guitar at all.
>>128230904Sounds great, anon. I really enjoy the mix, it's not super loud and the instruments are all very well defined and have their moments.What settings are you using for the bass?
>>128231297Thank you. The bass is simply Direct Input from P/J pickups with all the bass's knobs maxed out and good gain staging. Read my graph paper notes, it's all about getting the tones at the very beginning so you don't have to "Fix" anything significant later on. All I did so far was adjust levels, it's not really mixed yet.
>>128231354No amp simp or anything?Good job on getting those tones, then. I'm not good with this and every instrument simply sounds too loud.
>>128231519The guitars are going through Neural Amp Modeler so yes those are simulated. I adjusted those (rhythm and lead) for about 2 hours total and saved 12 or so "settings" I liked. One fake Peavey amp and one fake Mesa amp. I enjoy playing guitar way more than tinkering.Once your """""amp""""" sounds good enough, hit record and your playing will do the rest.
>>128231606My question was poorly worded: no amp sim for the bass, just direct input?
>>128231626Yes. Pic related. Then the gain is staged for no clipping. Simple as
>>128231626>>128231297It's normal to record bass as a DI and just use a bit of compression/EQ as the only processing. You really don't need much harmonics from the bass if the guitars are filling out the midrange.
>>128231657Thanks, anon. This should be helpful because I always get frustrated trying to get a good sounding bass (hint: it always fail). Maybe I'm relying too much on computer.There's always something wrong with my projects, sound/mix wise: https://vocaroo.com/1oKDYviNCFv7(no vocals recorded, because I wrote the lyrics in english and my friend struggles with the language)

is there an easy starting point to make kick rumbles? took me a whole hour to find a decent one using saturation->reverb->transient processor(attacked turned all down)->delay->low pass peak env -> sidechain compression -> volume duck -> limiter -> eq low punch -> transient: body boost -> bandpass filter(80-300)https://vocaroo.com/14uXDWNlDwYl

>>128232820where tf is the rumble
https://vocaroo.com/17MM4x6LxOM0can someone with decent headphones/speakers tell me how the mix is please
>>128232820That's good. Bounce that to audio and keep reusing it, nobody's gonna notice.>>128233090Get better headphones.
>>128233029I was hoping to find some amateur at the beginning of his journey who didn't get on big projects yet, as a sort of shared opportunity to grow together. I'd feel better giving money to some 4channer than some random AAA guy. I found an artist on here that way at least, but I guess it's not gonna be as straightforward for sound effects since nobody does that as a hobby, and it's either full-time pros in the industry or people improvising out of necessity. It was dumb to ask now that I think about it, yeah.
>>128233340There are definitely sound designers here, but the chances of finding one that you’d want to work with just by posting randomly are pretty slim.I hear there’s a general for devs here already- I would ask them to point you to whatever forums are popular.I’m dimly aware that such places exist specific to engines that people use but that’s not really my area.
>>128216283What is this? Sylenth1 (Nord) has a new update?

>>128236244Cool sample, i would flip it a little bit. Drums also sound a little too clinical and clean.>>128233103Sounds tight. The bass is pretty big, but i guess thats the sound you're going for. >>128230904Sounds nice. I like these sounds. Are everything recorded live? Great effort man!>>128230593Whats dynamic bpm? Care to ellaborate?Good list, thanks for sharing!Lets get the feedback loop alivehttps://vocaroo.com/1hApgnNhMn7t
>>128236710Dynamic BPM is when the DAW will let you change tempo during the songThis >>128230904 has a range of 178 bpm in verses and goes up to, I forget exactly, but I think 186 bpm in the fastest chorus. Speed adds energy. Pic unrelated

Help me improve my mastering workflow for an album, specifically the part where I get everything up to the proper loudness with the proper headroom. Right now I am wasting a lot of time. At this point my mix is already good so I want to do things with a minimal impact on the sound.Right now its:>meter song's loudness (in real-time since I have a free loudness meter)>loudness too low / true peaks too high, so I turn down a limiter by a dB or so or adjust compression>export track (takes a few minutes)>meter again (again in realtime)>didn't meet target, so repeat until good (3-5 times per song)I am using FL and dpMeter, I am open to changing my meter if there's a better free one. I know Youlean Loudness Meter's pro version can go faster than real-time, but it needs a file for that so there is still the export stage. I could try to cut the export stage and meter directly in the song's project file, but I have found sometimes the loudness in the DAW and after exporting does not match and I don't know why.If you have a better workflow, tell me, what do you do?
>>128239224this should go without saying, but you’re working on the exported track and not on anything that’s un-bounced and prone to variability, right?personally i consider anything that’s too quiet or anything to do with peaks to be part of the mixing stage.anything beyond adjusting absolute final loudness via gain (saturation/limiter- no automation) and very minimal eq to bring everting slightly more in line wouldn’t be mastering
>>128239444>this should go without saying, but you’re working on the exported track and not on anything that’s un-bounced and prone to variability, right?I am but only because I noticed a discrepancy sometimes, I wasn't aware the sound could vary much.>>128239444>anything beyond adjusting absolute final loudness via gain (saturation/limiter- no automation) and very minimal eq to bring everting slightly more in line wouldn’t be masteringThat's pretty much what I am doing at this stage, just include adjusting master compression somewhat as well. I am dealing with small discrepancies at this point and making small changes, something like a track being 0.8 LU too quiet while having true peaks 0.6 dB above target. All stuff that could be handled in the final limiter. I think I could maybe improve things by removing the final limiter in the DAW, export, and do all the limiting as a separate stage? It would cut down on repeated exports.
>>128239630i mean yeah if that’s what you’re doing just bounce out and do every little gain tweak manually.i just do it within the audio clip and fade ableton.no automation lanes or anything like that.

>>128242699good job, but more likely to be because it's a blue board.
whateverrr fuck i already have a to do list but i'm probably going to be hungover tomorrow and won't be able to do it and i'm already annoyed with this track it's always a slog my legs are heavy the mud is gummy (CCR in the background)https://vocaroo.com/1hpZtwOo02HA
>>128216283I want to make a song but I have no idea how to mix it seems so scary, does anyone have advice on how to eq/mix this intro I watched a bunch of tutorials but none of them really helpedhttps://voca.ro/1kKnXcsaLHnb
>>128243223I'm not sure what you want out of it, but so far it seems acceptable enough to cary on. My advice would be to finish an idea first before properly mixing it. It's always tempting to get caught up trying to nail the final sound first so you can record the other parts with that peace of mind of everything sounding 'good', but I feel it's more important to record more fleshed out (or complete, ideally) ideas, so you can mix within the context of the full track. I'm fairly new as well, but this is something I have learned the hard way and still struggle to do at the moment, but I feel like it helps my worklflow to get as many parts down first before getting overwhelmed with mixing the first 20 seconds or something. This includes getting down some basic drums and bass (and whatever else you want) down as quick as possible to mix a well, even if they are just basic and placeholder, you can go back and finalise them later once the idea starts taking more shape.TLDR; sounds fine, make a song first.
>>128232820The kick itself sounds horrible, no punch and the clicky high end makes my ears bleed. The rumble part you got right, I think, but the kick sucks.
>>128232820>is there an easy starting point to make kick rumblesIncidentally, the last Airwindows plugin, it seems.

I havent used my 404 for making beats in months. I pretty much only practice my instruments but it's really useful for that. I noticed dust on it today. Felt bad for it but I'm just super focused on bass

I didn't like the idea of signing up for some guys pateron for drum transcripts, nor did I want to fill out worksheets like a 10 year old so I started building this transcription app. It's kind of morphing into a full sample / drum machine and sequencer - is there any reason I should release this publicly? It's really just for me to get ideas out, but I keep adding features - but I'm sure there exists something already that does this?(attached 'beat' was done with the app)https://vocaroo.com/1juFYtB2gVuj
