havent done music in 3,4 months nowdecided to just wing itcame up with this tech housey wipthoughts?https://voca.ro/1agK1FogU5uu

>>130377092I found this today and I'm wondering if it's actually effective or if it's more like DuoLingo where really it's just a game, not a resourcehttps://jazzchords.app/
Serious question. Why do you guys share your WPs? You should be terrified of getting ripped off before you've made a name for yourself.
>>130377324
>>130377324Nobody here is worth ripping off
>>130377324what's the point of having a discussion if you don't share anything whether it be knowledge or a work in progress. you're just a leech. it's not like anyone here is getting good without help from someone else.
How do I structure a song and make it have impact and where do I place my impact momentsIs there a YouTube video I can watch about this
>>130377704study what other songs do yourself
Some good shit in today's ASOT episode
>>130377270What about thishttps://chordracer.com/practice
>>130373833>>130374238I didnt know about the flac issue, i always bounce samples to .wav out of old habit. make sure warp mode is turned off aswell. regardless of the sampler you are using be it simpler, sampler, some third party VST, a hardware sampler of some sort, etc the key take away is that "thru" playback mode will allow you to play a chop/slice and have it continue past the next slice. Thru also is monophonic so you dont have to worry about unwanted poly. and that "gate" mode is what forces the "sustain". "oneshot" or "trigger" modes just need a single input of any length to start playing the sample, and will only stop if it reaches the end of the chop/slice, unless in thru mode. another little tip is that in simpler you can hit the arrow to bring up a much larger view of the waveform to set slices there. I usually just zoom in on the default view, but it can be nice if you are doing some really precise stuff.hope you are able to get things working how you want them, samplers are one of my favorite ""instruments"" and a lot of fun.
>>130377324as an artist you can get ripped off even after you officially release shit, unless you are already very well known. Its like whatever tho because ill always make better shit, if someone plagiates my work and blows up its usually better for my own publicity then if it didnt happen at all too. If you are doing it for fun then why should you care and if you are serious about art you gotta realize you have to be willing to sacrifice everything for it and never expect anything in return, i know that makes so little sense to people with job.
>>130378652ironically i didnt shared anything in here yethttps://vocaroo.com/19pij0JCoiOrhttps://vocaroo.com/1lB40GRPFVD3https://vocaroo.com/18GAJOFVgLtomade these three demos in one project file like two days ago, theyr pretty cool but its not what id like to make but maybe some of you guys here can steal them
/prod/ and /dmp/ have a symbiotic relationship. You need to bump the /dmp/ thread to keep the schizo away from here.
Do you guys ever do anything fun here? Like post a short melody or sound or chords to sample and everyone has a go at making something quick from it? I'm always interested to see how people choose to interpret things in various ways and across genres. What if we did that, huh? Imagine having fun like that.
>>130379001ironically i would be satisfied enough to leave if you stopped posting /dmp/ in /g/ and stayed in /mu/ but i guess you won't do that
>>130379006There's been threads like that before
>>130379063>>130379001you both need to fuck off and stop ruining threads for everybody
>>130379913sure would be great if the mods ever did their jobs
>>130379006Make it happen, bro.Sounds fun.
>>130379006there used to be a 30minute challenge thread, not inside of prod but on /mu/. something like "30 minute challenge. open your DAW and make something in 30 minutes and post it". and it was filled with hilarious shitpost songs, and the only time ive posted to any of these types of threads. It also helped me alot with not overthinking and just finishing some shit really fast. Would love to see more of those threads, or something similar
https://vocaroo.com/1aljCaB3rKEKmessing around with some mixing in this test project. how'd i do? i dont mind the sound, but perhaps too muddy?

Is the new Charli single all physical modelling synthesis, or is that heavily processed guitar?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twLhSqabby0
UPDATE.The cheap SP404 wasn't a scam. it just arrived.seems to work fine but it didn't come with the SD card and the power supply isn't the original. but that's okay
>use nothing but FL Studio>try to learn other DAWwhy does Avid Pro Tools feel so clunky to use, I can't get used to it at all. even Reaper is a bit more comfortable
>>130381676charlie fell off. she should work with different producers
>>130381951kys
>>130381951My question isn't about the quality of the music, which is irrelevant to me
>>130381879Very nice>>130381933>Avid Pro ToolsBro, nobody but boomers who own old recording studios use that shit in the year of our lord.
Today, I was talking to an elderly customer about music. She asked what I make and I said, "Experimental Hip Hop, I guess you'd call it." She said, "Oh, experimental just means it's the sound of the future! Maybe you're the next big thing!"Supposedly the next big thing:>https://vocaroo.com/18mSrJ9dTYrVI tried to make lofi hip hop that was not chill, but more uncomfortable. I like it, but fuck me if this ends up being the wave of the future. Thanks for coming to my blog.
>>130377324Jokes on you, son. I'm actively making shitty music so that people (and AI) that rip my shit off end up shittier just by having known of me. I'm poisoning the well and not giving a fuck if I live.
>>130377124I like the high pitched parts and it scratches my autism in the right ways.>>130377127Needs a Ricardo edit like "U Got That" received, but I like it>>130378768Hey, this is fucking awful. This isn't even shitpost core. You're just trying to hurt our ears, bitch.>>1303808392000s alternative-type shit. I fuck with it. Reminds me of Hoobastank and those type of bands that were one-hit wonders back when, but everyone still loves them>>130380851I don't like some of the vocal samples, but the rest of it's pretty fun. I like the high-pitched synth. What is that, just a sine wave with some portamento?
>>130382668>Reminds me of Hoobastankone of my favourites in high school and still a guilty pleasure. glad you picked up the vibe. im mostly trying to rip off siamese dream era smashing pumpkins but the post-grunge scene is very similar too
>>130382668>Needs a Ricardo edit like "U Got That" received, but I like itha! maybe as an easter eggthanks anon
>>130382426I know. but I might be applying for jobs that 'require' proficiency in it.
>>130382148>>130381676it’s just processed
>>130381972wtf?
>>130381951i'm mad jelly of AG cook's success. he has such a smug look on his face yet he profited mainly off of charli XCX who was already successful in her own right and his productions don't have as much actual merit as he seems to think.
>>130383338absolutely brain dead all of her seminal releases, save for VV that earned her both the critical praise, and a cult following that have taken her to legendary status have all involved AG.whether *you* get it or not, obviously Charli finds him necessary to bring on every time.yes i’m triggered.
>>130383440hang on, is this ag cook posting right now? why are you browsing /prod/?
Reminder: you can actually regress as an artist just by listening to some of the shitslop that gets posted hereBe careful
>>130383440>"Boom Clap" by Charli XCX was produced by Swedish producers Patrik Berger and Stefan Gräslund. The track, which was originally pitched to Hilary Duff before becoming a massive hit for The Fault in Our Stars soundtrack, was also co-written by the producers alongside Charli and Fredrik Berger.
even this song from 2018>"1999" by Charli XCX (featuring Troye Sivan) was produced by the Swedish producer and songwriter Oscar Holter
>"Doing It" by Charli XCX was produced by Ariel Rechtshaid and Jarrad Rogers (also known as MSTR Rogers). Both producers also co-wrote the track alongside Charli XCX, Noonie Bao, and BURNS.
>"Fancy" by Iggy Azalea was produced by the British production team The Invisible Men and the production duo The Arcade.
i specified release to imply album, to imply an artistic goal and scope of discussion beyond just any single song.obviously your little pee brain just wants to “win” the argument so go off i guess, i already decompressed after that first post anyway.
>>130383510she was successful because of those earlier songs. her later works because muh artistic vision are borderline dogshit and she didn't have much of a viral moment until 'brat' and then you see the effect of having billie eilish on her song as being the most popular music video out of brat because of billie's fame and not the actual merit of the production.
>>130383461yep. that’s why i give feedback after listening to only 5~ seconds of any one clip.yes im serious.
>>130383553the production of that song was unironically good but people were only drawn to the marketing gimmick of having another tween star in the video
>>130383553conversations like these are why people can tell you’re not tapped in to culture at all
>>130383591it's not that good, you could make similar sounds yourself and you won't find much success>>130383594literally what i'm saying is 100% correct you fucking retard, she wanted to make hyperpoop like SOPHIE so she went to AG cook and fell out of relevance so she wasn't a household name until brat
is this the /xcx/ genny?
like one of the tech house anons could probably make similar sonics
the other "PC music" tranny lolcow tier music also associated with AG cook, also have a le ebin cult following, but they don't have nearly the same success as charli
>>130383461oh I actually never listen to anything on here. I prefer resting my ears to Nervous Reset 75 Hz Drone youtube videos.
>>130383615>100% correctwe get it you live under a rock even if that were true, what is your point now that she IS a household name and songs produced by AG are still experiencing lasting popularity?“oh he’s good but he’s not *that* good!”get a grip dude jesus
>>130383555checked and believed
>>130383675see >>130383666you're on some tranny tier mental gymnastics. the video in >>130381676 has 200k views which are not impressive numbers these days even if it's only been 7 hours. people will listen to it at least once just to check it out because of her fame and not that it's inherently a well-produced song.
i would like to formally apologize to /prod/ for engaging with chuzo.i was in a dark place. and could not think rationally. i have made a severe and continua lapse in judgement.i acknowledge what i did was wrong, and it has caused so much unnecessary sufferinf.from the bottom of my heart i am so, so sorry. this will absolutely never happen again.

>>130383936bad bait
>>130384032https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0fgkcTbBoIcope
ther guys at the top of their game like metro boomin and mike dean literally use analog gear like synths and an SSL console and anons think this has nothing to do with their success, anons have no appreciation of how it's like the mona lisa of sound, fucking straight up retards
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B402rKl4bUg900k views in 3 hours vs 200k in 7 hours for charli
i have a new template going in cubase. its sounding good. maybe ill upload a WIP later
>Swedish producer Patrik Berger and Swedish DJ/producer Style of Eye produced the smash hit "I Love It" for Icona Pop featuring Charli XCX. Charli XCX wrote and sang the demo vocals, but it was Berger who brought the track to Icona Pop to record.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=safzyuZNCGIAG cook is closer in skill level to /prod/ anons than this>“Goals” by LISA, Anitta, Rema & FIFA Sound was produced by Cirkut, Bava & Pink Slip.cirkut works with max martin etc
How do you narrow down your ideas when sketching out a song? Do you record multiple arrangements and see which one feels right? It feels like I could take it in so many different directions it's hard to pinpoint what's right for the song and what's a completely seperate idea for another track.
https://voca.ro/1hQEnm8vRAZnMade this recently. Unless I can think of something to add on top of stufff that's already there so I'll probably consider it done for now. I really like some of these woovebox presets, I'll probably make more in this style later. Any feedback?>>130377092Vital is pretty cool but man is it a overwhelming for my simple brain at times>>130383839Sounds good to me.
>>130385674i just use the idea that sounds best
>>130385886That'll be why you've never finished a single song and never will.
>>130385996says the anon who's asking how to even think kek
>>130385674you cant tell which idea is best?
>>130386741my solution to this is to have no good ideas
>>130386741he's severely retarded like it would be dificult to believe when it's just me telling you but you've already seen a hint of it with the post you replied to. his appreciation of music is extremely weak, he has alluded to potentially being tone deaf and he hates virtually all popular music. he brings up examples of songs that are badly produced or badly mixed (in his opinion) as a reason for why he supposedly can make low effort productions himself but with good songwriting and become successful and win grammies. and he still doesn't like to listen to the examples he brought up, it's just that they're popular.
pianoteq 9 sounds very plastic, am i using it wrong
>>130386741You've never had a song where you have multiple good ideas for where you could take it and they could all work?
>>130387909of course, pretty much any track I make I have multiple avenues that could work and be good, but I hone in very quickly on which is best
>>130387792no it's just a few tards who shill it. the real piano players use sampled pianos.
Good morning, looking for tips on how to design a serum patch that sounds like a plonky, 80s, M1 Style organ Bass tone. I am aware that I could get a sample or emulator, but Im interested in learning how to rebuild the sound. Cheers
Is something like this actually effective for learning chords?https://chordracer.com/practice
https://vocaroo.com/1N21BnxIbbZYHow do I get a kick like this? Sounds easy enough but when I tried reverberating a kick it sounded like shit. Or maybe this doesn't have that much reverb
>>130388676I don't think there's much reverb on it, just some compression and EQ
>>130385674just do all of them in one long session, then choose later, maybe one will be much better in its execution in practice
>want logic pro>only DAW i'm interested in>own a windows>don't want to buy a macWhat do?

>>130396731No, you're just loudly delaying the reality check.
>>130396731Keep telling yourself that, as you have for the last 2 years and 3 months.
>>130396815>>130396820you've both been making music for many many years and you still suck. 2 years isn't even a lot in the context of higher education and professional careers and such. for example juicy j founded three 6 mafia in 1991 and katy perry - dark horse ft. juicy j came out in 2014. dj khaled worked as a radio host the 1990s and started working with fat joe's terror squad. you're being cucks letting it be impossible to be successful (for you) while people more talented than you are making millions of dollars relatively easily.
and in the 2 years i was dragged down with anons inane trolling and gaslighting me about how good plugins sound compared to hardware so i didn't even start buying hardware and learning about electronics until about a year ago.
Still delaying the brutal reality check
i go back and forth on if hes genuine or if its a bit, but im 99% sure hes just trolling. he watches producer YT all day, so I know hes seen plenty of comparison videos on emulation VS real hardware and knows that some of these emulations are nearly identical. I refuse to believe someone has spent over 2 years not attempting to make a single thing in an endless GAS death spiral.
>>130397024because you have the same listening ability as a top tier producer or engineer? and with this epic listening ability, you've managed to make a name for yourself? for example it's been well-documented that hardware 1176, LA-2A and CL1B are commonly used by top tier professionals to record vocals. even when they use an ITB mixing engineer, the songs that are actually good and top tier successful use an analog/hybrid mastering engineer. all of this is so fucking obvious to me like fuck you fucking retarded assholes.
>>130397024> I refuse to believe someone has spent over 2 years not attempting to make a single thing in an endless GAS death spiral.you’re aware of what website you’re on?
>>130397191yeah fair. and I know its a common thing among people starting hobbies to cope and blame their gear for sucking but this is a whole new level. this is like showing up to the same small golf course everyday for 2+ years saying "wow you guys are actually playing with those clubs? you'll never hit back to back hole in ones. you'll never be tiger woods. Ive researched the best clubs and balls to buy and when i get them im gonna crush all of you". its comically deranged behavior, if hes not trolling i honestly feel bad for the dude
>>130397342die in a fire, i've shown you numerous comparison videos and the professionals are saying it to your face that the hardware sounds better and you refuse to believe it. you're the one who's absolutely deranged or pathologically braindead like how a cat doesn't understand algebra, the cat doesn't have biological hardware to learn highly complicated and intellectual things. you make music, sure, but is it good music or you're fucking delusional and huffing your own farts like you accuse me of doing?
>>130394518EQ thw verb, sidechain in to the dry signal, saturation after the reverb and so on.
>>130397342Indeed, he better be trolling.
>>130397384you don't even say anything intellectual, you just make cunty remarks. you're not offering any useful advice or anything. you're useless like an early version of chatgpt.
>>130397342>"wow you guys are actually playing with those clubs? you'll never hit back to back hole in ones. you'll never be tiger woods. Ive researched the best clubs and balls to buy and when i get them im gonna crush all of you".Very nicely put.>>130397394>YWNB tiger woods! REEEEEEEEE
>>130397425you're objectively behaving a troll. you're literally a retired or semi-retired boomer who's been smoking pot for decades. your brain isn't functioning properly and you're out of the loop from the current zeitgeist of what music even sounds good and that people want to listen to.
none of the anons are successful unless the AG cook fanboy is AG cook himself. and his actual merits as a producer pale in comparison to the top professionals, he needs charli xcx more than she needs him. anons just want to believe that they're good and that i suck but they have nothing to show for it, they're incapable of contributing to an intellectual discussion about advanced topics in music production and audio engineering.
why do devs hate including a send/input in their reverbs separate from the dry/wet?that shit is so fucking necessary especially in a synth patch (ty NI)i miss dds nocturne is not hitting the same for mewhat fucking grid is this on jfc.i got drunk last night and had a revelation about fm8 fx basses it sounds insane but i was too hungover to expand.then i got drunk again tonight owo i mean like if i aint feel iike i can't have a pint with u and get real pished i'm not intererested in making music wit u u ken? my current collaborator is way too fucking sloow tho shit's pissing me off t b h
>>130397489i'm good and you're bad every one of your posts is just an sad ass expanded cope suck my girl cock chuddy ikywi
>>130397508it's almost 5am bro (._. )
dont listen to these animals chuzo
and also yes the latest airwindows reverb is very good, i know you were waiting for my stamp of approval.however on these sound design-y autism soakd IDM industrial tunes i'm still rocking the coat reverbs very often.... cloud and coat mostly, i forget the difference i aint reading the descriptions a gain i just use my ears lately. they really do that exploding sound crazy.>>130397551ya but i was hung over all day and didn't really work so i felt bad. i had to make the time up. no days off.i spent some time at my grandmas house to clean because my aunt has been mentally falling apart and the place was a wreck and she's got nobody to help her. that lost time needs to be made up, if only a little.this song has been pinballing around in my head it's pissing me off and i want this release to be a certain length... idk i'm just being insecure.the music brain does not wait it just goes 25/7>>130397568we're sorry
actually almost wrote out a response to chuzo before stopping myself, close call.>>130397521can i suck uwu>>130397508i love that the kick drum track is comically scaled up and the gain automation lane under is tiny by comparison
>>130397658it's not just a kick it's a bunch of noisey shit but mostly kick-y.this particular session is for making a bunch of background reverb noise. the gain automation is to eliminate the transient input into the reverb so it's a smoother noise behind all the noisey drums and whatever. the whole section is fine rn but kind of empty sounding so i need bzzzt bullshit behind it.
>>130397724ah thats a neat idea, sound design type sessions can be very fun
>>130395953i appreciate that mate, thats flattering. i liked the bass line, very energetic. im just using a bass plugin instrument at the moment so i couldnt improv like i usually do on my bass guitar. i think the eq did need some brightening up, your touch up sounds pretty good. ive gone ahead and adjusted the eq in the cubase project along with a few other changes. i wasn't a fan of the verse guitar
>>130397380What do you mean with sidechain it to the dry signal? What does it do?
>>130379006>>130379081>>130380337>>130380651>>130380887OK, here's a little something for everyone. Use this vocaroo as a sample or recreate it using whatever you want - see pic related for pattern/notes. It has a very short delay to extend each note out once, it's at 120BPM and it's a basic pluck sound made in Vital:https://vocaroo.com/1cgbUIZAOA5qUp to you what you do with it, change the tempo, change the scale, get rid of the delay, use whatever sounds you like, progress it in anyway you want, sample it and chop it to pieces, whatever the fuck, just use it as a start to do something. Doesn't have to be a masterpiece, just do whatever comes to mind and maybe make it 20-30 seconds at minimum so it's got a little substance to get your idea across, otherwise it can be as long as you can be bothered to work on it. I will be amazed if even one person has a go to be honest.
