>>129009720Thanks.I like the intro melody I wrote and the arpeggiated texture does an OK job of blending the two really disparate keys but but it's a long way from a finished piece of music. It's always hard to get something done with orchestral libraries for these but it's fun to try.

>>129024384... How much rap music uses an instrumental ensemble anon? There's a reason the answer is none. Because once you've got a full ensemble, you might as well sing too. You don't understand rap. It's not a genre that is about musicianship. It's about the narrative.

>>129020380https://vocaroo.com/17VRXfzQq47fTried again, but learned my lesson and stuck with synth presets this time. Don't really like the presets I chose but gotta go fast. Even so, thirty minutes flies by. Wasted too much time trying to CUM up with a hi-hat pattern I liked, then just deleted it and moved on. Still feels too generic but this is a fun exercise and I might try again tomorrow (also when my time was up, I spent a few minutes stretching the loop into something presentable)
>>129030700>Wasted too much time trying to CUM up with a hi-hat pattern I liked, then just deleted it and moved onI feel you there brother. Drums always slow me down on these. I made this one for a thread a while ago and spent probably half the time on this basic drum pattern.https://voca.ro/1jtkv81pUY2PI think it's fine, but a better producer wouldn't take 15+ minutes making something that basic. >feels top genericIt's fine. At least you didn't spend the whole time picking sounds of fussing over an EQ. Sometimes I just grab a key sound and play for a bit and then build a track around it. No one is consistently going to crank out a masterpiece every time in 30 minutes. Honestly these threads have been handy for helping me figure out how to improve my work flow.
>>129000567 Mhmh. It must be such an awkward Situation, hiding Embarassing Secrets and suddenly it becomes very difficult to walk especially without crouching, what does one ultimatively say, "hey, I'm a Man too" (what a cool thing to say) or is vomiting the only correct thing to mouth. Because in my Opinion, gay dickless retarded bastards look on the ground when I pass by. Don't get Water into your left Ear.
>>129030917Obsessing over the mix while I work is another hurdle I need to jump. I might start cheating and spend another ten afterwards minutes doing that. I didn't mention it but the last two attempts I spent about five minutes trying to get the kick to sound the way I wanted (again, before giving up and saying "good enough"). What I'm gathering is that I need to build my own bank of presets to pull from instead clicking through random ones. Also, I think the genre I'm going for (Jersey Club) is solved and I'm not going to revolutionize it, at least not in thirty minutes. I appreciate the feedback. God it's so hard going into this blind, I just start mashing in my midi keyboard until I find something decent and follow that until it's over
>>129030917Second Reply: Forgot to mention that yeah, these are great workflow checks. I've been messing with my DAW for over fifteen years at this point and know maybe three hotkeys, and have spent more time clicking through presets than actually making music over the years. Hits hard to realize how little I can accomplish in thirty minutes but it only motivates me to get better (sorry for the blog, I'm a little buzzed right now)
>>129031241You saving your useful combos as presets?
>>129031256I don't know what that means but I can assure you "no"
https://vocaroo.com/1n42XIWGc8veWow this sounds awful
>>129031321If you get a set of effects on a mixer channel you like you can save that channel state as a preset and use it again next time. Like I've got the effects saved for my new age drums so when I make my shitty new age downtempo I can have a consistent sound.
https://vocaroo.com/1igdpIBtRnEUCheck out this snare.
>>129031452Okay, that's what I figured you meant. I only just now barely feel confident enough working with synths that I'll start doing that. Though it's hard to listen to the shit people can whip up with Serum in two minutes then go back and listen to my little whimpy synths I can create with the stock plugins, even with five effects in the channel. I might just have to bite the bullet and learn how to actually work with things beyond baby's-first plugins
https://voca.ro/11LGrsa8iIwJguess the sample, shouldn't be too hard
>>129031329I dunno, I liked the intro bassline enough to ruin it for you. You've just gotta hear what it could be. Didn't quite match the beat perfectly though, it starts to drift. https://voca.ro/16F9rCD5n00V>>129031583Maybe this isn't original advice but perhaps you could download vital and figure out how to use that for a bit.
https://voca.ro/1kad0B0HYobH6 minutes of barely mixed ambient slop for your listening pleasure
>>129031329>Wow this sounds awfulno. you have something. I'd suggest trying a different instrument other than the violin on the second part that comes in. It is a bit forward and violins put out an expectation in the listener. Zappa said timbre is everything. The intro made me think of old Kraftwerk. When the violin came in it changed the timbre pallet. Boom. Awesome intro blown out. Try a different instrument in there. Something not so powerful, forward or demanding of people's attention. Play with it. If I'm wrong you can shame me in front of /mu/.
>>129028044The record turntable mixer pedal, it takes up a lot of space on the board but it has a really authentic sound.
Ahhh noooo booomp
>>129031515Sounds like it could be from a first person shooter.
>>129000567I don't even have 30 minutes but let's gostart the timer
>>129000834we'll be looking back at this shit in 20 years, hearing these cheesy filter drops, timed repeating loops, and other DSP shit ruining a good mix and cringe our faces off. it's cringe now but the cringe in 20 years will be extreme, unrepentant and especially unforgiving.

>>129030700https://vocaroo.com/19RQClTolubLLast one. Need to spend some time building up my own sounds I can pull from, the little babys-first synths I made here don't really fit together but I didn't want to click through presets again. Wish I would have spent more time creating an interesting drum pattern, and for sure extending the melody. Also, I think it's time to learn some actual fucking scales
>>129036336Chill af, love when that bass comes in
OP here. I clicked off straight away. Im going to use this time to do it for real. BRB 30 minutes.

>>129043769Haha that was fun thanks for jamming to itI don't listen to that much Polyphia but some of the licks reminded me of Sithu Aye whom I really like
>>129043899>Sithu Ayeaw shid thanks for the reminding me (senpai)I've only ever seen his face and name in the Periphery (pun intended) of similar guitar nerdery in the early 2010's. Though I haven't listened to him specifically it makes sense as it was the around the post Guthrie blowing up in YT and dem younger folks have started absorbing his influence a bit.
>>129018566another Soft Piano enjoyer!you inspired me to make another 30 minute thinghttps://voca.ro/1lNdwzHtVEwQ>>129044021yeah he's pretty good and I also play guitar so I listened to all of the guitar nerds in the 2010shttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=McagESvPB1w is a good place to start, good funI came from more of a metalcore, then black metal background so hearing all these harmonies I was like woah we can play this kind of stuff with distortion too
>>129044090Nice piano ditty. You've got a wide palette considering metalcore influence then making that drum bass synth thing to this melancholic piano. Even though I'm primed to awareness that it's (probably) a software plugin it sounds quite real if not for the abrupt cessation of sound/noise gate thing.Cool glitchy stuff on that track, I'll listen to the full album some time. Watching his recording process vid he mustve been a shitposter here himself lol. Thanks for the recP.S. since you play guitar requesting for a guitar based submission for the thread(Though I shouldn't be one to ask as I can't really write songs and contribute, only drop in these threads to wank lol)
>>129044265Thanks!>guitar based submission Of course, there you go:https://voca.ro/1cz7k8uBJxZkdon't expect noodling because I don't do that anymore, I'm an old man nowI expected to make a Cloudkicker Loops thing with the grain delay but it turned more into a Mac DeMarco instrumental>it sounds quite real if not for the abrupt cessation of sound/noise gate thingYeah Soft Piano is very good but it does not handle the pedal noises that well. Sometimes I overlay it with The Giant just to get the noises. I did play it myself on a MIDI keyboard so that helps a lot.>You've got a wide palette Thanks bud, yes my goal is to be able to make music in every genre in existence pretty much. I dabble in jazz, orchestral, neofolk, reggaeton, trap, disco, whatever.
