>>129407778First one is much more beautiful but i dont know what you want to do with it. As it is rn it's just ambient slop and thus doesnt yet have value. Where is the melody / harmony?
>>129408185Yea i see what ur saying. Did u listen all the way through? bc theres definitely a section with a chords and a progression. Not even trying to fight u like I respect ur feed back 100%

>>129408835i upload screenshots and ask gemini "what does button do "
>>129408258>>129408398I heard it all yes but it lacks depth its still just ambient the key progression is hyper basic and just 2 layers at most, i counted 1 layer. Learn a bit of theory, get into those synthesia videos and learn some progression and do it in reverse or something so its not exactly the same and see if it fits

one of the biggest pitfalls in making music is rendering early then listening 20 times and then you get bored with it and repeat the process. just wanted to let you know that you shouldnt do this. just make a full song and dont render until it is really done.

>>129416947>then you get bored with it and repeat the process.Or worse: you get accustomed to it even though it's shit, which you realize reopening the project later.
I can't decide on a DAW to getI am willing to pay so long as it's something I can grow with.I play guitar and would like to record live instruments but also use high quality samples when needed
>>129417171just try reaper out
>>129417045and then to fix it with the use of reference tracks is recommended but then one ends up chasing the sound of others and becomes a lowkey-plagiarizer and "biter". it will have the ghost of something else anyway. in reality most people dont understand how music relates to food and the senses, and how it can be a parasite or infectious. think about it. it is always about "taste", people say things like "it is a lot like cooking"you know what can happen in cooking? you poison people or infect them with parasites. basically when you listen to your own creation it is parasitic, the exchange is against you. >acquire tastes think about it. what made you like it. it is like the parasite that commands you to like something else. people literally say "i cant get this out of my head" like it is in there and they WANT to get rid of it. LITERALLY CALLED EARWORMS.
>>129417232Any track can become an earworm provided sufficient exposition.
splitting the bass into hp and lp signals is one way to mix bass and balance the frequencies with a bit more precision, but is it also common to do this with other instruments like electric guitar or even on a drum bus? i couldn't see why you'd do it on vocals but it seems like everything else could be split between higher and lower frequencies

>>129417171cubase. they just released 15. by cubase 15 elements which is a good starting price. you can decide if you like it then go up to artist or pro later. i recommend it based on some of the native plugins as well their drum machine groove agent. its decent
>>129417615ask yourself: for what benefit?compared to bass?that is why
>>129417667i dont know, to give the song as a whole more body.

ableton doesnt even have a good eq i am sorry but this is not cutting it in 2026
>>129417872Are you sure this is not a user problem?
However, it's your right to demand more.
I recently started doing more...ugh, live stuff.So, Live is pretty helpful with just building stuff.
Is ableton live only useful for EDM artists who perform live? Is it any good for just making music and uploading it?
>>129417989me >>129417987I used it since about 2008 just composing.It works fine as a regular DAW, comparable to Cubase and so on.But, also, live features, if ever needed.
>>129418003Thanks, I'm having trouble picking a DAW to start with, I don't want to worry about picking up another DAW later down the line if I need something my initial one doesn't have.
You can try lite for free I think, it's limited to 8 Tracks.I use like 60+.>>129418017I used Cubase before it for a while.Which is fine too, also Germans I think.But now I'm glad that I'm on Live, fun to quickly build songs in a "band".
>>129417899batman, where have you been all this time.
>>129418070Likely not me.I'm another weirdo:https://voca.ro/1gbt8m2xBJPpAlso, Ableton does not pay me.But, I don't need money anyways, so...

>>129418603>What do you mean by in a band?Well, I always composed by myself, so, time had little meaning.But, buddy with E-Git and another with an acoustic one, plus a retard with way too much processing power were bored...Oh, yeah, last one was me.

why do low iq people make music
>>129426555chud mindset
>>129426522I feel like experimenting around with keys after getting inspired with one of those synthesia videos is how you come up with melody, the keyboard just unlocks melody better than any other instrument, ofc you have to modify things to not get in a lawsuit dont copy anything you hear exactly the same, just get inspired by it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvSVJkRsrC4https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_WlGzh3Qikhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4WGeZN4_7Uhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgUkRIywJMA

>>129426665>piano far from computer deskNah it's all pretty close cause my room isn't that big. I can wear my headphones plugged into the mixer and play piano at the same time. Its actually the perfect distance for me so I can keep my headphones on while working. I used to have a desk piano but I got rid of it. Wasn't really any need for it when I have the casio. I might get a small midi keyboard for my desk to plug into the live 3. Casio is plugged into the mac which has more vst options than the live 3 but I do want more than the pads for the live 3 sound. I can just plug the casio into but I dont wanna go back and forth between the two.
>>129426718>ALL using the same math formulaI mean... I would prefer random non repeating midi patterns over that; at least they would have novelty.That said, I am completely in awe of guys like fearofdark who clearly have structure but spice it up with novel variations/effects/etc.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzGmbwS_Drs>>129426746>I might get a small midi keyboard for my desk to plug into the live 3>I can just plug the casio into but I dont wanna go back and forth between the two.I feel that.

do gearfags make music
considering getting a line 6 helix, either the $2k or $4k model (AUD). gotta streamline this nonsense. barely using my pedals apart from the ts9 and rat. what do /prod/ators think?

>>129428424that’s because you’re stupid and illogical
>>129428388>zero information and asking random people about spending thousands of dollarsi think you’re dumb and or have too much money
>>129428531how could a rational person be stupid and illogical?
>>129428359The ones on /gg/? No. The ones from /prod/ yes kinda. Sometimes.../gg/ is obsessed with buying new guitars and pedals but they don't make any complete OC with them.
>>129428359if its similar to photography, 100% of non professional gearfags do not make music
>>129428547it's not that deep man, ultimately im going to decide on my own what im going to do, but if anyone has experience with one of these effects processors/modelers, id be glad to hear about it.
>>129427725Its ok. Lol. We understand.
>>129428559i’m not even trying to be a jerk when i ask: why would you take anybody opinion here seriously about gear or even software?it is quite literally worse than taking a random amazon review at face value because you also have proof right in front of you that the posters here are invariably low skilled and or delusional about their own abilities while maintaining contrairian beliefs.
>>129428602i like to give benefit of the doubt to people here. i see some genuine music lovers in these threads sometimes.

>>129428695yeah i’m sure those are the same people everybody is talking about
>>129425975>>129428707Seems like a section, not a song. It sounds good but the growls could use getting louder with each repetition, like a build up into a crescendo.This desperately needs an intro, you can start the intro with acoustic, something calm and ambient then BAM a breakdown into all of this you already recorded and edited.tl;dr vocals need to get stronger, needs an intro.
>>129428748that's a good idea, something ambient at the start would be cool. maybe bookend it with an ambient ending as well
>>129425652>>People are being nice on Reddit or wahtever the hell u posed this onnah cause there's song on the stream that got roasted on there and the guy streaming turned them off instantly.
>>129428770What I mean by the grows getting stronger is that the way you do them dude sounds like some imp, they are weak, they have a place in the song but it would be cool if you heard the vocals metamorphosing into a full grown ass demon, growl harder as the song builds up, as it is sounds kinda repetitive. Think about songs in sections, its very important to do this. Apply some of that music theory and architecture. Doing like the old masters: build ups and crescendos is good. Then you can add elements of prog if you want and change the whole tune, key center or even time signature mid song, like a song within a song but that is more ambitious do this as you git moar gud.

Hey /prod/. I'm a beginner at production and this is the first time ever I produced a song. It's a Syd Barrett cover of a song called Baby Lemonade. I chose this one particularly for its DIY aspect, which made me realize it would be easier to recreate from scratch. Honest thoughts? Please, I would really appreciate any tips or opinions. https://voca.ro/1i2BIHdHKmuU
>>129434546i think it all sounds a little bit too hi fi, like a bit dry/clean. i haven't cross referenced w the original but it should feel a bit more spaced out if you're going for syd's solo career kind of vibe. try some tape saturation (simulation), maybe low passing or a dip with a high shelf, and mix in some plate reverb. should be more information in the center in general i think but you can keep your stereo mix and run elements into a mono plate reverb and it would probably do a good job of addressing all the aforementioned problems.

>>129437295oh yeah and its because im left handed i guessbut i guess thats why it seemed easy for me to learn guitar because the left hand is doing the music theory
>>129437325>>129437295just stick to your 404 kiddie loop spam beats theorylet
>>129437246Very nice :3>>129437325>its because im left handed i guessI don't think that has anything to do with which hand is dominate... that's just full retard. Hands aren't symmetrical about the middle finger and the gap between the thumb and pointer is way larger than any other finger, so the hands are suited for different types of chords and intervals. That's why pieces for left hand only are more common than right hand only -- you're able to have your thumb play a soaring melody well above the accompaniment.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7A7lgKI3x8
I feel so stupid for using synthesia/tabs for so long, its so much easier to use sheet music
>>129437639>its so much easier to use sheet musicWelcome to the club.
i need massive x 2 so bad
i’m making my 303s play faster but slower
Where the FUCK is the Behringer BCR32?Didn't they announce that thing like 5 years ago?I need my knobs...
>>129437639Once you can read Sheet Music its easier but in Sheet Music its hard to get down the BMP / tempo if you enver heard the song beforeyes i know what 4/4 (common time) or 3/4 (waltz) are, etc but even still in Synthesia you hear the song's speed very clearly. Its best to use both.DAWs read synthesia notation better because its midi.
>sheet musicjust play by ear retards
>>129439658post music ear tard, I bet its not even good. Theory is LE GOOD. Deal with it !!
>>129438558Yeah I like Massive X but a little more visual feedback would help loads.
>>129439658This but unironically. I can listen to a song and be able to replicate what I hear based on that, ive never had to look at sheet music or one of those cheap ass things where the piano keys light up. I feel bad for the people here who has to look up the notes because they are too tone deaf to replicate it themselves.

>>129440673>send busesreturnswould have to dig around you session to really pinpoint a reason, but it'll be a combination of the reverb not being programmed/chosen/leveled to accomplish a spacial goal, a conflict in the arrangement, and or it making sense in the spectrum/stereo-fiield

Sell me a groovebox
Recording drums for the first time using Loopy Pro. Not a full drum set, just some small congas or whatever they're called. Fuck this is difficult.- I don't know how to mic them so that they sound well. They sound great irl but like shit on mic. Also, put the mic too close and there's clipping. Put the mic too far and the SNR is not very good.- It's really difficult to play and record them so that they sound perfectly in time.- Problems with some attack of "one" getting cut off because the recording loop starts at the same time.
>>129443949Fuck this. I want a super silent room with soft walls.
>>129443949The drums are too high-pitched and/or you are using the wrong mic/mics
do people just pirate vocaloid stuff? not really sure what the strategy is for getting into using them.
>>129444672only people with money buy things
>>129441304Cheers anon, this is quite insightful
>recorded an entire drum kit with a single dynamic mic>it somehow sounded amazing>no longer use acoustic instruments due to room and living constraints>drum programs and amp sims cant even get close to that soundAnalogue and acoustic is the way to go. Amp sims are cool, drum machines are convenient, but definitely lifeless
>>129444672Vocaloid sounds bad, its not worth using it. Its just a meme only gamers will understand.
>>129446064why on earth would i care that you think it sounds bad
>>129427725True, just post it on youtube and let some chinese freaks steal it and reupload it to other platforms i think that's better ((it isn't))
>>129447518what the hell are you even talking about
>>129444672This is the strategy https://4download.net/3579-dt-synthesizer-v-studio-pro-win.htmlAs for vocaloid like miku len etc i would recommend just using rvc, vocaloid's note input interface is cancer and they use plugins to convert from wavs to midi notes anyways so it's the same thing really

>>129457464No not yet I'll see if that works. I think one problem I'm having is my mixer being apart of the situation. I have a onyx 16. I can send audio out of a channel into a monitor channel and have the audio routed to either the 404 or live 3 that way. I dont want to lose the option of sampling whatever from my Mac into my 404.

oh also i forgot to shitpost about it yesterday but zacidfilter is best used as noise substitute.not very practical as a filter (or rather anything that makes it unique makes it unusable for that purpose and when you're not utilizing that it's simply outclassed by literally any other filter) however it is sick in place of where da bass heads would otherwise use bit crushing (duh), corpus, erosion etcthanks for reading my ted talk (fuck ted talk)
Anyone use linux?My desktop isn't available it uses windows and I usually am using that for my music, but due to circumstances I'm stuck on a laptop with linux.I have been learning to use the LMMS daw, I tried installing vital and other vsts, but it just doesn't detect or show up at all. Weirdly enough I can open up vital as a standalone, but idk how to make music with it when I can't use it in the daw.It's genuinly annoying, I'm also not that good with synths so I can't really make good synths out of the stock plugins and the stock plugins presets sound like shit to me
