I've been making this since I woke up.

Could use some help. I have these two samples loaded in Grainferno, and I want every note I hit to trigger C3 that way I have the freedom to play notes and chords on a synth however I want, each time trigger C3 in Grainferno.
>Why not just use Simpler or Sampler or Granulator
Loading both samples at once in Grainferno is nice and I like its suite of knobs. Been trying to work this with scale, pitch, etc. for half an hour and gotten nowhere due to ignorance.
>>130654104
That sounds really lovely.

>>130654104
The synth part is kind of nice sounding, but the beat over the top just feels mindless and disconnected, no groove at all.

its a nice intro but id make it more tangible, the sound is too loud and present to be dreamy or atmospheric but also too washy and lacking the meat to be in your face and tangible, pick one path. I like the composition tho

>>130655675
Why? It sounds like shit to me, but you can disagree and that's fine. Even the anon who posted disagrees and doesn't care, so why do you? You post a song.

How long would it take me to learn to mix decently a song that has a couple guitars, a drum & bass line & vocals

Cool vibe, nice sound selection. Not much to critique as it's too fucking short anon
Vinyl crackles @0:20 are a bit loud for my taste
>>130655090
Actually sounds really interesting, I like it. You could keep this as it is and use it as an interlude track on an album.
>>130662252
not sure if you want mix feedback or production feedback so I'll cover a bit of both
>0:00-0:32
cool intro, musicially I like the idea.
Sound selection I don't think is quite right tho, particularly the drums I do not think work for the track. They're too dry and feel a bit flat. Kick is also drowning out the cool bassline. Seems to be a fair bit of muddiness in the entire mix.
Also think that synthpad(?) might be too loud and/or has too much reverb on it which is overpowering things.
>0:33-0:49
Not sure I like this synth part shifted an octave lower, I get what you're going for but is sounds more clumsy compared to what came before. The reverb/delay on it is too wet as well IMO
>1:05-
guitar comes in, cool. Again, the synthpad is overpowering. Kick is also too much. Guitar tone is probably OK?
>1:23-
another guitar layer. Balance of this with the existing guitar is out of whack. I don't think they blend together well.
>1:40-
Just sounds really clumsy. The synth layered with the guitar isn't grooving together, plus the synth part feels really wide in the mix (is there a stereo reverb/delay too wet?), it's taking up too much space. By 2:00 it sounds like mush NGL

>>130662252

>>130662252
Maybe it's just me, but there's off-putting clashing with the bass and the chords that lands on 5th in the sequence. I'm not a theory guy, but I think that's what it is (the C and F).

>>130662252
>>130662606
Oh shit, I should have finished listening first, but it gets worse as it goes along. The guitar parts are horrendous, I am genuinely surprised that the others aren't mentioning how off it all sounds. Are you all fucking tone deaf? I'm not trying to pick on you, anon, but the composition is flat out bad and needs to be revised. I think I can hear the idea somewhat, but you've made some bad decisions and run with them, then added layers based on those bad decisions and now it sounds like a mess, especially towards the end. inb4 hugboxers come to the rescue.

>>130662378
>Sound selection I don't think is quite right tho, particularly the drums I do not think work for the track
eh, i like the sounds myself. i am on the fence about the drums too though, genuinely i just dont have a better set that i can program myself than this. have any recs? i dont like to work with samples

>Seems to be a fair bit of muddiness in the entire mix.
the mud is intentional, i like it when stuff bleeds a little. i hate the modern obsession with "EVERYTHING MUST BE CLINICALLY CLEAN, ZERO WETNESS OR BLEED" personally

>I get what you're going for but is sounds more clumsy compared to what came before
fair lol, i just wanted some sort of variation and i liked this enough, might revise

>Balance of this with the existing guitar is out of whack.
ye i'll probably revisit that guitar. the tone is fine imo, just want to slightly adjust the line

>By 2:00 it sounds like mush NGL
eh, in a way that is the intention, i want chaos at the end. and i did say i intentionally made everything very loud, i guess i should pipe it down a bit

thanks for the elaborate review, very much appreciated

>>130662406
thanks anon! yeah bass is always a nightmare desu, what's the issue? what usually does it for me is just adding a compressor and upping the attack a bit so i dont get the finger pop from my playing

>>130662606
well, it is intentionally non-diatonic yeah, it lands on G# to end on a G. i taped it straight at first, but i like the chromatic rub myself

>>130662681
>I'm not trying to pick on you, anon, but the composition is flat out bad and needs to be revised. I think I can hear the idea somewhat, but you've made some bad decisions and run with them
lol, the idea was "take this cute synth loop then add some gross guitars" but fair enough anon. i'm not gonna majorly change the composition, i like it. the production can def use some tweaks tho

You say this as if it's some ridiculous ask and like you shouldn't be critically examining your ears with this type of consistent feedback.
There is "this does not suit my taste" and "this just sounds bad" and all of it was the latter.
If you're going to play dumb and stubborn you're not going to improve. If you cared at all you wouldn't just deflect.

> If you're going to play dumb and stubborn you're not going to improve
in my response i noted plenty of production aspects i was open to discuss and revisit, i even asked for recs on a different drum kit to use but got no response.

i'm sorry if it upsets you that my goal is not to get the basic bitch EDM sound, but you're being unreasonable and just spouting vitriol, anon. i'd much rather my shit sounds like a live band if albeit messy

He's either trolling or deluded.
Either way, I'm not taking the bait.

Any help here? Several things I'm not quite feeling now
https://vocaroo.com/1iXGcHGdO4D0

>>130664686
Trance is stuck in 2008.

>>130662252
Lead melodies suck. Guitar loses cohesion when it jumps from the high point to down low. It almost sounds like 2 different instruments. I've struggled with a similar melody drop in a current composition and I haven't found a great solution

>>130665869
the intro sounds like Gas but with too strong sidechain on the kick, rest of the track is elevator music level boring with occasional weirdness in the melodies. If the track has something going for it its the middle part, the melody at the end is too weird. If you simplify it and do proper sound design you could pull it off, keep adding hiss and saturation over and over, unify the sound

>>130666645
Thanks, I think there's just too much melody, like it's a melody after a melody, turns it boring and uninteresting to me, maybe I should focus more on groove and make the melodies a bit less prominent and simpler, if by the middle part you mean when that second lead starts then I agree, I think that works but it could be better.

I need to get back into listening to lo fi house tracks which is what I'm aiming for, most of that music focuses on groove but I like the melodic side of things more because it just pops out, the only thing is that a lot of these tracks use vocal samples which is something I never cared for doing

As far as learning the ropes of a a DAW, is ambient a good genre to start with?

>>130669630
genuinely no, unless you mean cinematic “ambient” (i.e omnisphere preset heavy music that is still fairly traditional).

the skills and habits you pick up making ambient don’t really transfer to other genres and more typical workflows.

… that’s assuming you care about ever making other styles though.
the most important thing for learning is that you feel motivated from enjoying the process and stay curious.

I took you guys' advice and started trying to make beats with acapellas then removing them so I can get a feel for what needs to go where. I think it helped a lot. Here's a beat I made. I know it's a little weird, but I like that experimental shit, like Antipop Consortium, Malibu Ken, and people like that. I've got a ways to go before anyone will wanna collab, but fuck it, I'm still having fun.

My concept here is a folk tune for a future society on another planet, an old timey tune from the settler days, so I have it sort of evoking an oldies song from like the 60s or something but hopefully also a bit weird and disconnected from our time

freezing printing committing to it immediately

>>130669710
only listened to the first 10 seconds but: it's not good. within the first 7 seconds it becomes clear it's not good and won't be good

I skipped to the middle for a second just to confirm, and it's confirmed. think of it this way: if you replaced every single sound in this with a dry MIDI cartoonish piano sound, would the song sound good? if not, scrap the song and start over

>>130669710
>Here's a beat I made. I know it's a little weird, but I like that experimental shit

unfortunately another "confirmed fully-bad as of the 10-second mark"

How do you even know it's bad without listening to the full thing, retard.

>>130669710
That bass synth has to go. I like the airy sliding thing, but the bass comes in and never meshes with it. Also don't find its exercises thru the pentatonic scale a very good melody. Same with the later plucky sounds in Pentatonic.

You could fix some of this with good mixing, maybe, but the lead synths aren't the right sound for this IMO. Basically I agree with >>130670917 You had a cool groove at the start but the extra synth layers feel like amateur noodling and don't fit the groove at all.

I had worried about that, so I think I over compensated and raised them too much.

>>130670322
Are you talking about the brass-ish bit that comes in at the beginning when you refer to the bass? I also have a sub bass that I didn't know if you were referring to. I'm still trying to figure out the 16 Levels on my MPC, so I think the only thing I have found is the pentatonic scale so far. I need to study the layout a little better.

>>130670917
So you think dropping them entirely instead of an instrumentation change would be better? I'm trying to strike a balance between full and repetitive.

>>130672166
When you don't like the synths, is it the synths themselves or just their melodies they're playing?

Thank you for the feedback, everyone. I'm still new to beat making and the MPC Sample, so I know I have a ways to go, but the feedback helps.

FINALLY Bitwig is getting non-destructive slicing.

>>130673430
>When you don't like the synths, is it the synths themselves or just their melodies they're playing?
Hard to say, but I'm leaning more towards that it's what they're playing rather than the tone. The synth that comes in around 0:11 just isn't grooving with that tight beat that you opened with. Although, if that part was a guitar instead of a synth it could work? By 0:55 it just loses me; it's too simple and isn't grooving at all with the beat. The overlap at 1:17 between the synths doesn't sound good either. The synths are generally too legato I think, you need a bit of syncopation. Try to lean into the beat as the beat itself is tasty. The synths at the moment feel like they're meandering around without tying into the groove much at all.

I like the sound, don't remember what the genre is called so I'll call it lovingly Roblox music. Not sure about the lead melody around the 2nd half.

Here's how it sounded with vocals
https://voca.ro/14e0p5xUs3vu
Now it was a hasty take, and not mixed well but I could tell in the "The wandring spirit" section it just didn't work alongside the guitar. They were separately conceived melodies, for different chord progressions, I thought I could stack them up but in the later iteration I posted above I spread it out and used the theremin as a placeholder for vocal melody, though I kind of like the sound of it coming in and the way it alternates sections like bluegrass with different plucked instruments and fiddle each getting their solo moment. That does leave a guitar solo between the vocal parts that is a distinct chord progression which doesn't seem very folky but maybe that can fall under futuristic developments? It kind of goes with what you said about "it could be anything"
Maybe I'll make 2 different versions, like in-Universe one is an instrumental cover of the other, because the lyrics were the main point to start

ignore the other useless faggot shitposter.
Guitar playing is nice, I'm assuming that's you? I like the guitar tone too.
Vocal performance is meh as well as too dry. It's also too quiet in the mix but you probably knew that since this is clearly a rough mix.
I think you should add drums to the mix, keep it without drums at first then introduce some maybe when the vocal kicks in?
Could use a strong bassline too.
Kind of lacking a "hook" at the moment.

alor en danse dnb remix idea
needs more itneresting elements and i'm also kinda stuck on how to give it a more danceability honestly

This is pathetic and patronising. It's not shitposting to not like something and call it shit. If you want to hugbox and see the positive in every turd someone shits into your ear, that is your choice.

>>130675191
guarantee this is the same anon that gets butthurt over this post >>130672199
You crabs are pathetic.

>>130675300
lol

>>130674659
I don't disagree but I still see the potential. Some guy called a different track with vocals "outsider music." I assume it's the vocal performance rather than the lyrics that does it, though I'm not in love with most of that verse section. Idk if singing stronger, more controlled, more in key would fix it, or maybe the autismic qualities are part of the package just an acquired taste.
>>130674916
If you listen closely I have that low percussion that sounds like you're hitting a plastic tube or something, it comes in with the guitar and also and is pretty frenetic, not exactly a 4 on the floor and it's quiet. Same with the open hat. I want to bring up the tube, but in its own space that doesn't clash with the low string section. That's my bassline but it's EQ'd so low to stay out of the tube's way you can hardly hear it on phone. I tried flipping it, so the tube sat lower and strings sat higher, but I just made it worse.
Anyways, the more recent rendition is >>130670147

>>130675318
I prefer the mix with vocals.
That percussion, which I didn't notice on first listen, isn't sitting right in the mix. Replace it. I can barely hear it anyway and you just said the bassline had to be EQ'd out of its way too, if you ask me it just isn't right for the song and seems to be adding a lot of unnecessary mud. I'd recommend trying a cajon instead.

>>130675300
aw, anon, there there - ignore the mean poopy poster making horrible comments.
Your post is great, it really is, I like that you attached a picture, that was a nice touch!

lol

>finish trumpet part
>maybe add accordion
>fill out back half of song
>maybe some rhy guitar
I'm not really sure what wizard music is but i was aiming for zelda meets blackgaze and i want some more elements of the later in there but haven't got the tone right yet

HOLY FUCK HE DID IT. Hardwarefags have nowhere to run. Did you fall for the preamp meme?

>>130675748
summarize it for us wtf

>inb4 no or provably negligible difference
really shouldn't be news to anybody even slightly aware

>>130675872
NTA but the only difference is the EQ curves

>>130675872
I recommend watching it considering all the work that went into him making it. But basically there is no perceivable difference in any test between the vintage Neve preamp and the Focusrite built in interface preamps in every category. Compression, distortion, slew rate, mic impedance and EQ were all looked at.
I thought analog preamps provided some nice harmonics to the signal but this was measured to exist but be definitively inaudible.
The EQ curves are unique, but EQ curves are the easiest and most objective thing you can model and digitally replicate 100% accurately. There are of course tons of plug-in EQs that model the Neve curves, some more accurately than others.

I find it funny how he keeps saying
>now, I'm just a performer and not an engineer!
while demonstrating far more knowledge than most "qualified" audio engineers.

i inverted the phase and drove the of parallel signal and now it’s much quieter but way more toan?
like more than the original just distorted signal? sounds weirdly mid scoop-y.
damn i’m crazy

https://voca.ro/1azQlMHXxZ6w
made this last night

>>130676750
that's phase cancellation anon. If you want that effect but more usable/controllable, use a phaser effect plugin (or apply the sweeps yourself via EQ if you know what you're doing)

>>130676802
there’s no allpasses u noob i did reverse distortion don’t at me like that

is it weird that my piano track disappears in mono? im not panning it, its using pianoteq 8 pro, its like classical ala piano or something as the preset. ive tried reducing the stereo width to and fucking with the mics but it still seems to dip volume in mono. is this even a issue do people still listen in mono

i don’t WANT to polish and mix and get autistic about all these fucking songs i just wanna WRITE moar it’s not FAIR FICKKK

>>130676943
if you get more than a 3db dip and or the balance drastically changes (eg it was the main source of highs in your song and they all disappear) then it is a problem.

take the easy way out and download voxengo correlometer so you can use your eyes to mix.
correct with m/s eq if you can’t figure out how to fix it at the source

>>130676990
No one cares, go back to your discord.

>>130677034
no thanks they’re all too nice and supportive and actually fun there.
i crave abuse.

>>130676990
Try trackers

>>130675748
Yeah it's a good thorough video, but I would still have more fun mixing on a giant neve console than with a stock eq vst. The best point he makes is that good musicians and sound sources are more important than any of that shit

>>130677200
i’m still recovering from that unfortunate period of my life

>>130677004
thank you that helped a lot.
after trying everything i found the issue at the source for anyone who has the same issue, apparently this preset uses a microphone setting which can it nearly disappear on mono. (sounds great in stereo though, not sure if its the preset microphones position or what). its kinda hidden but theres a monophonic option in a drop down which works well in both mono and stereo. im not sure how i missed that.
