need feedback on song structure for this demo I'm working on
not finished obviously, still figuring it out

>>129278368
>thoughts on my impressionist space ambient track?
It's too dry for the style, add a reverb (or extend the tail of the reverb) on the piano; gate the reverb if you need to to avoid "washiness". The piano tone itself might also be a bit bright/compressed/thin sounding for the style as well. I like the low synth tho, particularly at around the 3 min mark. Most of the mix sounds too dry.
btw, why are you using Audacity for this?
>>129277942
why does the mix change @1:21?
It sounds better at that point, aside from the drums being a bit quiet/weak (a problem throughout the mix)
I think I'm hearing some issues with timing too, particularly with the bass like at 0:38, if you want something more danceable you'll need to tighten the groove. Also, improve the drum mix as I'm not feeling the drums as much as I should (snare especially sounds too soft)
I don't have any vocal advice sorry, I'm not a singer.
>>
>>129278693
Sick groove. I think the drums are too loud and the snare is distracting. Guitar part could be played better. Keyboard part is cool you could turn it up. Bass seems loud the whole song. Good stuff overall
>>

What VSTs are you jeets selling this time?
>>
>>129278693
>btw, why are you using Audacity for this?
thank you for advice. I only used Audacity for cutting of parts of track, both piano and synths are made in supercollider/tidal. Basic tidalcycles "superpiano" but i think about using salamandra grandpiano SFZ, nicer sounding i guess but harder to use.
I recorded loops to wav, and then put wav (or will use orbit/link/JACK technology) to arrange fragments in DAW in certain way. I am not yet sure about which DAW to use yet, i use linux so no ableton available. I was thinking either Bitwig or Reaper

You have a great voice when you start singing towards the end. The drum fills are sick imo. Mix sounds great. I personally don't dig the spoken word thing.

not sure if this is a good thread for this:
pretty new to audio production, I'm trying to figure out a way to make a brown noise static lower in volume proportional do the volume of an instrument with some attack inertia so it feels like the instrument is "emerging" in and out of the static and interacting with it rather than just playing over it. any way to make an input blend or interact with static noise would be appreciated, I'm just experimenting right now

that just sounds like reverb with feedback if you ask me.
well there are lfos, volume envelopes, peak controllers, dynamic eq. just share a lfo between two things one one time it is subtractive and one time it is additive.

Should I get Elektron Model: Cycles or Elektron Digitone if I want to make back ground music for my game?
I can get Digitone for $400usd or Model:Cycles for $200usd

basically I would want something where I can make/program the songs on the device, then I can send it onto my PC to arrange on the DAW, and finally send it to someone on fiverr to do the mixing.
The big downside on the Model:Cycle is I read it cannot send each track to PC, but there's a program that can do that for $50usd, so if I get that the Model:Cycles will still be $150usd cheaper

thanks, sorry if this is not the right thread for this question.

unironically you should focus on the doing the thing that motivates you the most and would make you feel more fulfilled.
more self confidence/motivation will lead you into doing the other two things.
>>
>>129300767
Thank you, anon.
I guess that means cementing my diet and exercise routine to get those endorphins going. Once that is set, perhaps I will find that I have more energy and time that I can put into music. It never was about the sex; I just want to feel desired and to love and be loved.
God bless.

>>
>>129302214
Its okay im the 404 anon if you remember me. Havent posted here in over a year or so because i wasn't producing. I spent my free time learning bass and theory. I definitely was still trying maybe once every 2-3 weeks to make something in ableton. However I spent majority of the time jamming with others and learning songs/theory. I only started using the sampler regularly about 3 weeks ago. Having a better ear makes sampling easier for me and I needed that practice before I could use the 404 effectively.
>>
>>129302348

Yes that's also a big factor on why I took a /prod/ posting break kek. He just couldnt stop bitching about how hard it was to make beats. Made the mistake of trying to encourage him once
>>
>>129302446
eh, in his defence he did receive a lot of conflicting and extraordinarily bad advice while aspiring to make music that completely goes over the head of even intermediate musicians/producers.
>>
>>129302514
That is true, the advice here is hit or miss and anything experimental is hard. I still havent really gotten the hang making my music sound experimental. Outside of a few FX's its genuinely a really hard task. Its easy to make stuff that sounds weird but to have work as well is something not a lot of people can do.
>>
>>129302568
yeah i feel like people generally don't get that being good at making "weird" sounds without it being random, and then being able to actually sort the results is a whole separate pursuit, even if you're already well versed making music outside of "traditional" composition
>>
>>129299970
Cycles:
>FM drum machine that can make synth tones and some pad sounds
Digitone:
>FM synth that can make drum sounds
both have similar sequencers, Digitone has more control over LFO
Cycles is 6 track, each track is mono. Digitone is 4 track but can have up to 8 total notes play at once.

Both can send full audio and midi to your computer, Digitone with OverBridge, Cycles with that program you mentioned.

Basically, do you want something more immediate but a little more limited in sound design? Go Cycles. Do you want something with a lot of depth to it but needs time to get everything how you want? Go Digitone.

They're both good choices, Digitone highly benefits from a drum machine or sampler/DAW for drums.

I would say bass and guitar if you can play both. I only know bass and guitar is out of my league. However i started on piano and even though i dont know any songs on it i would still say its the most vital. midi opens up a whole world and most full size digital keyboards come with good sounds
