Dudes, I wanna actually play my music live but don't have the gear lmao, only an acoustic guitar and ideas, Dunno if i could do a laptop as backing instrument but still fuck.
bros why am i such a fat retarded chud
>>129223224Yeah, a laptop running Live where you trigger clips with a foot controller while playing your acoustic guitar. You got this.
>>129222435>>129222483>>129222496>>129223238>it’s anime hijacking the board and NOT chuds guys!!!
>>129222178>already fucked the OP of the thread by putting anime and not putting the linksI dont have anything against anime but the public is not going to find the thread as easily as with a real /prod/ image. Never be the OP again.
the OP *text* is garbo and he deserves shit for it yeahi’ll never understand why fags cry about the op image as if anybody who isn’t brain dead isn’t just ctrl+f’ing like actually go fucking touch grass dude jesus christ
>>129222923no im pretty sure the pedophiles are the ones obsessively watching cartoons of little girls and posting cartoon little girls and thinking of cartoon little girls
>>129223632because lolipedo should not be normalized and pedophiles should be shunned into their own corner of the internet
https://vocaroo.com/18qInLEw0hTSi like this one. it didnt take me long to make either. i need to probably add more but just tried to make something with samples only.

>>129223650write a breakdown section or something too. something that releases the tension
>>129205382>>129205494thanks for the input. ended up right now ordering a gen 3 2i2 because after looking on the market like you said not much in that price range also im still on win7 and this looked like one of the ones that is guaranteed to still work with it.
>>129224369>still on win7Absolutely based.

>>129228679pay a distributor to put it on spotify for you.

>>129228698like distrokid?
>>129223346Stick a MIDI pickup on it and use an inbox to a DI box (if there is an extra good ground in the deal that is), run two cables or use a pickup that blends. Then laptop to a good reference line amp then a speaker.
>>129228729yeah but they're shit from what ive heard. honestly theres no point in trying to get a spotify or apple music page up. put your songs on youtube, soundcloud, bandcamp or [untitled] .
>>129228761yeah i'm reading about them and it seems amuse might be better>yt sc bci gueeeeeessim not after the money or fame honestly, just want to put songs out there for friends, spotify is what most people use
>>129228812youtube was around before spotify
>>129228839most people listen to spotify on their phonesnobody really listens to music on yt at least not over here
>>129228812Dude I have to figure out what's in my head too. I geared up to make songs for my commercials (social posts really) and now it's kind of like I have too much to just do that I'm obligated to it lol.
>>129228843okay but you just said you want people to listen to your song. the easiest and fastest way to do that is uploading it to youtube and sharing a link with people.
>>129228852i feel youi have so many project but recently come to the conclusion if i don't do it soon, i'll neverfull knowing my first 100+ songs are gonna be dogshit with 5 plays>>129228865i could maybe combine that?
>>129228891I so randomly played and never paid a bit of attention to do anything. Now that I am to some degree it's building but that's good. I'm used to old shit so the new tech is SO handy.As a hint, when I went to college, we cut tape with a razor.
>>129228891you need to figure out if you want to put out music or see streaming numbers go up. if you have a project that's done and you're proud of it then you should already have uploaded it somewhere for people to hear. if you are going to be discouraged by the fact nobody is listening to your songs i would not continue with it as a hobby. you create music because it brings you joy. there are literally millions of talented people who will never make a dime off their music because the market is flooded but they still make music every day because it makes them happy. those are the most successful musicians
>>129228932Personally, I sold off a ton of old gear because I don't play live anymore and likely back is too bad to consider it. So I reinvested in other things and one was a nice direct to DAW/FX/Input chain. Then a 6/12 string for the versatility.So I'm as ready as anything and I'm not short on the ability to write, I'm just now setting up track notes to DO it.
>draft of a new songhttps://vocaroo.com/1agDyclaxzk6very quick take, delivery a little low-energy because housemates in the next room, BUT - I slapped together this acoustic thing after I had the chorus rolling around in my head for a while, and the weird little 5+9/8 bridge kinda tumbled out of me.is it worth finishing/refining?
>>129229054Only if you go 2,000% David Bowie

>>129229079What makes you say Bowie?Dramatic Story Ballad Bowie or Detached Sprechgesang Bowie?
>>129229170>SprechgesangZiggy Stardust, but in East Germany. Add deep synth house/industrial touches.
>>129228932>discouraged by the factnahim fine with thati'll never make it to the top 100 that's not what i'm aiming for
>>129229190I mean… I make folk music so that’d be a little incongruous on a record.
Do Bowie at his folkest ballad mood yelling at S&M leather and gay dramatic Bowie.

guys, what are your thoughts on dawless for demo-making and coming up with ideas? I love how versatile and capable DAWs are but they tend to disrupt my flow when trying to write stuff. I'm thinking about getting a drums machine + sampler; and only using the DAW for polishing my turds.
>>129229333I was thinking of doing the exact same thing.For me, it's potentially getting a Seqtrak to act as a sketch pad that I could use anywhere: in bed, on my couch... just comfy jamming and recording without the glow and distractions of my computer screen.
>>129229333Samplers are cool. I have a 404, I rarely use it but im not willing to get rid of it. Very useful and versatile.
>>129229350>>129229664was thinking about something like a Digitak 2, I play guitar and seems like a fun tool to lay down some backing tracks to play along. I'm just not sure how I'd go about recording it, I want to keep it simple.
>>129229702Does the digitak not have a recording feature? If I plug my bass or piano into my 404 I can hit record and it'll record whatever sound comes into the sampler
>>129229838hmm I think it has a 66s (mono)/33s(stereo) sample in-device recording limit (or 400mb if loaded from a computer)
>>129229867You should be fine then. The 404 acts as an interface via usb c so im guessing the digitak probably does the same. Should be easy to get whatever you record on it into the daw

I'm looking at DAWs, I'm interested in making pop/pop-rock. I'd like to upload my guitar playing but also use samples & effects, what DAW should I start with? I'm not opposed to use a couple of them either.
>>129230936Any will do. I've personally tried Logic, Cubase and Reaper, all of them are great (my favorite being Cubase).
>>129230994Are any better than others for different stuff? Also does learning one make learning another easier?
>>129231057I'm not a pro, but you can expect more or less the same functionality, the difference is where stuff is located and how many click something requires. Don't thing too much about it, think of it in tasks (e.g. "how to program a drum pattern", "how to record bass") and watch yt videos about how to do those on the DAW of your interest
>>129222435>sees cute girl>immediately thinks of pedophiliaWeirdo
>>129230936I chose FL for a similar reason (want to record guitar, but also learn synths and "electronic" music) and I'm happy with it. Some people say certain DAWs have workflows that are more suited to certain genres, but most, if not all of them, can do it all. I love FLs piano roll for when I want to do midi, and I've made a template that makes recording guitar parts quick and easy (literally 2 clicks needed when I load it up to start recording ideas). I tried Ableton as my very first DAW and didn't like it cause I found it too unintuitive and ugly, but now that I understand DAWs, I think it does some things a little better (not enough for me to switch, though).
>>129228216https://vocaroo.com/104c45rMpckdmade another song. i think im starting to slowly get better. not too sure if these chords actually fit in a scale together i just thought they sounded cool. >>129229295very fun. i could dance to this>>129230836very good i like this a lot
Dunno if anyone cares about this or remembers at all but in a few months I will be reviving an old /prod/-oriented site I made years ago (filtered.fm) in a much, much, much better form, with hundreds of new features and capabilities.

>>129238045mm i like the melody, it gives me melancholy and that was the intention. was thinking more input to continue the track instead of just repeating the intro at the end. the part of the melody i would change would probably be the second part of the chorus where it goes up a minor third
Picked up an MPC One for shits and giggles, was able to get it cheap because the front headphone jack is broken, I'll resolder that at some point.
>>129230836https://vocaroo.com/18wuldAWwddTdoes this have potential to be decent if i clean up the mix, lyrics etc? I'm not not really feeling it desu

Not that it's bad, but, you know, could have more punch, and so on.
>>129242075i was in a christian duo for a day and we wrote two songs and he spent the entire time shit talking gang of four and harassing my friend about being an atheist (which i was as well but he didn't care for some reason).great bassist. weird as fuck guy. idk why people kept quitting my bands when i was so talented. i think they were intimidated honestly.or maybe because i'm a control freak but only concerning music idk

Has anyone ever used the clip to zero method for mixing?
>>129243765ya
https://voca.ro/1fkJvIw9hh5jcan you guys give me some feedback on this. im new to music production and playing instruments. i used fl studio to record my playing. would like some tips and tricks on how to become more professional.
>>129243790The original series looks pretty long. Is it as simple as >clip individual stuff >group those stuff>then clip those groups Or am I missing something important or any special nuances ?
>>129242422Sounds like something I'd hear in some early PS2 action game. I like it.>>129243839Needs better mixing. I can only hear the bass in my left ear. Drums sound like they don't belong. Good for a first attempt, don't give up sir.
>>129243848i didn’t actually watch it because i was already implementing basically the same concept before “ctz” became an established thing, so i don’t know what she says specifically i only skimmed the text thing to get to the few technical bits and some clarification on what she was talking about (e.g you should reach for a limiter for sustained sounds or anything with “delicate” high end rather than clipping usually).the “nuance” you should walk away with is really more in observing how things stack once you start trying mix with this concept in mind.i.e once you’re looking at how loud certain sounds sum together you’ll think more critically about what sounds *need* to be played and what you can cut away, what actually needs to be smashed and what can remain dynamic, what sounds should actually be processed together and not, and so on.i think people generally misunderstand it to be a paint by numbers thing and don’t really “get” the whole point of it beyond “max loud xD” honestly.… oh but yeah that’s pretty much it
Aw crap, it's not even that easy to lose a post that's not yet sent, but here I am, I did it!So, short version:>>129243010Yeah, I just expected another kind of progression, so that really just went over my head.May I ask, who, and why perhaps, are you making it for?
If I sound like a dick, I honestly don't mean it that way.I do like to try to motivate sometimes though...So, lets go!>>129243576>https://vocaroo.com/1eLg3sZVvIYIHaha, it's fun, has potential.Just don't start taking it serious, that would ruin it I think.>>129242422>https://voca.ro/1ekOrUKE2jQFI like it, Very playful with the effects, synths and samples.That's some work, and it seems to pay off! Nice. Now, more!
>>129242141>idk why people kept quitting my bands when i was so talented. i think they were intimidated honestly.>or maybe because i'm a control freak but only concerning music idkOh boy, do I have a pic for you! See >>129244945>>129237493You probably could, like, build a whole song around that!"Could" used here, because I sure often tried and failed in similar ventures, haha.>>129240079>does this have potential to be decent if i clean up the mix, lyrics etc? I'm not not really feeling it desuNTA Not my genre, but it seems nice enough to deserve some more work.>>129243839My first impression, everything but the bass is dead center right now, the bass, itself, well...You can start fixing that, EQ some perhaps, some effects, use that space. Not bad otherwise.(the system deemed my post spam, so I had to split it in two posts)
https://voca.ro/1bGr9GmepnHXPosted this track in the last thread, tried to make it more melodic and change up the rhythm a bit but i think i fucked the rhythm up. Not my genre and i think i am overthinking this track. Worth sticking to this track and making something of it? >>129242422Very crisp, nice>>129242173I really like the first drums

You have a lot of low end, it would be nice to contrast it with some clicky percussion or more sharp snare sound. You don’t have to fill up the higher part of the spectrum and turn it into a dance track, but some groovy elements, soaked in reverb, fading in and out, could make this way more interesting (to me at least). thanks for the feedback! I’m >>129242422>>129245445like the other anon said, kick waaaay too loud and distorted. Also, the kick and bass are very wide, which is weird, feels like there’s a void in the center. I’m not sure what you were going for, but there’s a good reason we usually keep it mono and centered. The rest is perfect, lovely synths, it’ll be a sweet track if you fix the low end.

To me, works a bit better together than https://vocaroo.com/1cbAqd7eIuID , but, it's your song, for you. Only thing that really matters.You wanted to add melody as in another voice/synth, or add/extend more to the existing parts? To me, again, it seems to work pretty well.Well, I like it. I'm used to totally different stuff, not that it matters, but for reference, it usually goes something like this:https://voca.ro/18QWN9CJKCgdYes, dear reader, you may rate.Actually, rate!I could use some re-affirmation.Or constructive criticism, we'll even take that.
>>129248985>https://voca.ro/18QWN9CJKCgd4/10 for effort. The mix starts off well and has a good sense of space for the intro, but seems to go flat as it continues. The harsher arp sound that plays over everything is not very nice, especially when it kicks in just after the intro. I would remove that entirely, or choose a different sound - I think it's that the detuning is a bit too much.

>>129246864Thank you very much. I lost identity with this track a bit but now I have some reference, I'll have to check out Stott. Good idea on the percussion. I have all my current percussion grouped as one right now and I might have compressed it too much and also EQ'd it a bit off.

I did this in about 2 hours. It was fun to write, fun to play a few times, but practicing music is boring so I just did a few takes and left it at that:https://voca.ro/1dy4pMpej9re>>129229054I appreciate the beautiful fingerstyle, good work on that. Compositionally it's good, the vocal performance is hard to understand but it characterizes a crazed/pained vibe well.>>129245532This is fun for a jam session, but for anything else it needs a lot of compositional tightening up. I was sad the intro hook never came back.>>129246410This is fine with a few critiques: They keys coming in overtake the mix and take away from the rest of the song. Besides the sound being too resonant, their melody largely noodles and clogs the whole arrangement. The call/response at 1:50 is nice, though. Vocal melody's largely verse-focused, leaving it melodically and rhythmically inconsistent throughout. Work in some hooks or maybe a chorus structure to add some consistency.
>>129254784What kind of mixing have you done on your bass, if any and how was it recorded? It is completely out of place here. It gets buried by the rest of the instruments and the playing sounds a little sloppy as well.
>>129256277>practicing music is boring so I just did a few takes and left it at thatYeah, it shows, sounds like shit with obvious mistakes, discordant chords and the lead mostly just following the backing notes. Really undermines your reddit-spaced feedback about melody and consistency. If you don't take your own music seriously why should anyone take your 'critiques' on theirs seriously?
>>129222178Working on a video game soundtrackHere's an ambient to synthwave tunehttps://voca.ro/1dtjNhhWr2x9Here's an ambient tunehttps://voca.ro/1cgt8IMFwZiwI'm having a hard time figuring out what the studio wants exactly: they sent me a bunch of reference tracks (neo-80s synthwave mostly, with big drums and everything), saying that they wanted that but dark (it's a thriller type thing). Then when I sent them that first tune they told me it was too jazzy (?) and it wasn't what they had it mind. So I'm trying again with that second one which is more of a typical soundtrack sound, with more subtle nods to the 80s synth sound. Pray for me
is there a DAW or VST that will let me change temperament
>>129237909The m4 is $260 and reaper is $60.
>>129222178am I ever going to be as creative as I was when I was 17 or should I just kms ;_;
>>129256931Kontakt has custom temperamentshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DcWtlF2uJSY>>129256985You were probably not very good or creative at 17, you just thought you were - just like when you're drunk and performing music and you think you're on fire, but you listen to the recording the next day and it's shit. Music is work, creativity is work. Work on your skills and you will be much more creative than you were
>>129257059I was genuinely much better at 17 than I am now. I used to get spotlight articles written about me in local publications as a "artist to watch." I hit some kind of wall and everything after age 22 has been absolute shit. even now when I go through my shit I can easily see a sharp decline in quality around that age. idk what happened.
>>129229054De-ess your vocals
im reading a book about pop hits right now. it is a bit like "the manual" but written by a music professor and deals with the question of what makes a pop hit a pop hit. for example he was able to predict quite a few winners in the eurovision song contest, mostly on the basis of their chord progressions. (he predicted euphoria would win and Heroes, the songs are quite different, i dont know the other songs but i would never have been able to predict these would win anything)one of the interesting passages apart from the sheet music in there is that he writes that pop music hits are very stylistic. it is a bit of a trueism, but when you think about it it isnt. take someone who produces hits. like anyone who had a hit spree. all there songs were stylistically "them". lady gaga is lady gaga, bruno mars is bruno mars. timbalands beats were recognizable too. bruno mars doenst make a song and it is less stylistic and more successfull, he is maxxing out bruno mars. adele always sings like adele. the difficulty is about being memorable + original and unique + doing the thing that works. i think if one of these factors is missing then it just wont be good.
>>129256931Omnisphere which answers many questions
>>129257319Just prioritise the vocal melody line and harmonise with the bass, don't do parallel motion. Basic two voice counterpoint is most pop songs. The exception is novelty songs. Don't sing the bass note.

>>129260256>$160 for a virtual samplerthat's fucktarded, you can get an Akai S2000 for $100 more than that and it will kick the balls off the stupid VSTthere are infinite free sampler VSTs, toohttps://www.izmar.nl/
>>129262332>”hey you should spend more on something that does less, is a thousand times slower, and only does 16 bit retard!”why does this general attract so many of these faggots jfc
>>129262360It's very full featured, the S2000 is based. It has a great sound and you can do some tricky shit with it using MIDI. Probably stuff your VST can't do. Anyway PAYING for some gay VST sampler makes no sense at all. Why would you do such a thing? And I just looked - you can get the S2000 for even less than $200 on eBay. There are quite a few up there.There is simply no excuse to start paying to make music on your computer when most of the good tools are free. Heck with csound and pd you can basically make any sound you can imagine with a relatively small investment in time to get to know these systems. If you're seriously thinking of dropping nearly $200 on a sampler, there had better be an insanely compelling reason to get the payware one over say, an S2000. What if the license server goes down? It happens all the time. Look at all the great music created with the S2000 from way back, until today. People love it STILL. At $200 or less it's a steal.People who create music and get on the payware / subscription-ware treadmill will find at some point that all the things they bought won't work on a new OS, the ancient files won't open, a license server goes down, etc. and eventually they are abandoned. Of course this happens with MIDI hardware too but the abandonment doesn't cause your stuff to magically stop working one day.I would say if you're going for all in the box computer music and you spend more than $100 all told including your DAW, VSTs, and everything else all put together you're doing it wrong. You SHOULD be using all Free software if possible. Software that can not be taken away from you.

>>129262758>every pro is wrongEvery pro doesn't use VST. In fact I doubt that most do these days. Some do. But many prefer hardware. You're not a pro though, you don't even know what you want out of a sampler or how to work one.VSTs are a lame investment. You can't rely on them down the road, something important to an ACTUAL pro. Unless they're Free of course. You're that plugin sellin' jeet ain't ya lol? You're in every thread, like it's your job to just hawk VSTs and Ableton in every thread. That's gay.
in the box music making is extremely free until you get to sampled instruments which is ridden with tasters, demos and crippleware on the low end of the cost spectrumthat's the only thing i would spring money on however
>>129263554You can literally just grab free multisampled instruments of every variety right off archive.org. Professional grade sample packs right from the sampler companies themselves and others. Good enough for all the professionals back in the day to make all the tunes you can imagine.Load one into VMPC2000XL and boom, you're off to the races. It's a full emulator of the MPC2000XL, which is still good enough for anybody.

>>129267706kill yourself
>>129266969>heavythis probably sounds counter intuitive but i think you need to be way more aggressive with your eq and automating out low/mid content (e.g on the reverbs) so that each hit has a spectral contrast on impact.i could nit pick on like, your snare selection, but i don’t think that’s the main culprit. its the sound selection/eq and where you place them on this one
>>129268303thanks anoni think if i slow down the overall movement, give the drums more impact that might also solve something?but yeah more eqing is needed and better sounds

Its not phonk, it sounds more like real music. >>129266969I think you should chop vocals, maybe filter them, and turn on the ta-ta-ta-ta synth, maybe even octav higher.

>>129272058vangelis says any amount of attention is bad for the creative pursuit. if you read above one anon has been damaged by being exposed to attention and losing creativity in exchange. if you receive attention you want more of it. you will do the same thing again. this can be very bad in art.
>>129272539this topic actually warrants a serious conversation but i don't people here have the scope or experience here beyond personal experience or "social media bad" to really talk about it*i personally* think making art (solely) in pursuit of attention is "bad," or at the very least unhealthy, BUT there are several sects of it that are intrinsically tied to things that will inherently draw attention (i.e anything made to provoke or make you question a hot-topic issue that people tend to get emotional about)MOREOVER: you are failing to communicate as an artist if you don't understand the audience, how you are being perceived, and what barriers there are to having your desired effect, so naturally those are things you must end up thinking about at some point. (to clarify because i already see somebody seething about this, take for example the lowest level: "i want to make something *sad,* does it *seem* [to other people] sad?" and you move up from there). imo, all vanity aside (this topic usually invites some discussion of motivations and moral up-rightness even though that's a different boring discussion) the real danger in caring about attention is the tendency to craft things that are ephemeral or *extremely* context dependent, to the point where they cannot be appreciated outside of that moment as a work in a (relative) vacuum.
