upright bass sample anon here, i finally finished mixing that song thats been giving me hell. turns out the kick was about -4 too high, enough to cause issues but not loud enough for me to notice until i checked it with tonal balance. brought that down, suddenly the bass didnt need to be pumped so loud so brought it down -2 along with the saturation send. my mix is now perfect except for the fill i have, which is by all measures too loud but i deemed it without sovl if i brought it down anymore so it stays a little louder. its like a timbale or conga and it just doesnt have that snap unless its loud enough.
this is the strangest song I've ever mixed, its basically all piano but i split the low end to the meatbass sample library which had such insane resonance to tame. it's a little latin, a little gospel. what i really wanted was a simple free acoustic bass vst but i couldnt find anything that sounded good, went low enough and was free. but i am happy with the result. and i have learned much.

serious question, since we are discussing mixing, is there a better way to mix using the meters in reaper? i thought they show peaks by default, isnt this a terrible way to measure track to track volume because you might have bass with a high transient but moderate energy vs something like a lead synth with low transient but more intense energy? my current method is use my ears to get it close the just use youlean to make sure its not wildly different

>>130855874
finally a legitimate OP

>>130856059
yes that is why people say “use ur ears!” non-stop

peak level is more of a thing you consider from a technical perspective and think about logically.

the ride is a bit too forward for the mix, it cuts way too into what you're doing. I honestly think you can cut a majority of it and have a better track all around since you're driving pump with the synths and not just the ride. Def use it more sparingly.

Also same with the crash, its a bit cliche and there's other types of elements you can add in like cymbals or noise fallers that do a better job driving emotion than just the same crash repeated over an over.

Everything else seems good, its just those elements that stick out like a sore thumb.

>>130863452
yes, but only because you have "side-chained" synths with it side-chained to nothing, while still having the beginning phrase click left in. So if you want drumless, then edit out the synth click. But I think maybe adding a hall kick or other cinematic style of drums that are lightly scattered throughout to hide that beginning synth click would do the track more justice.

(This is just one taste) You have way too much going on at once when the vocal comes in.
Try to introduce an element or two (backings) as you go along the musical bars. Perhaps do those things when the lyrics matter to provide emphasis. It might make things more dynamic instead of listening to a log of sound, and I mean that without insult.

As a virtuoso who is considered to be one of the greatest jazz pianists of all time, Peterson released more than 200 recordings, won eight Grammy Awards, as well as a lifetime achievement award from the Recording Academy, and received numerous other awards and honours.

He was called the "Maharaja of the keyboard" by Duke Ellington, simply "O.P." by his friends, and was informally known in the jazz community as "the King of inside swing".

McCartney summarised the importance of Epstein when he was interviewed in 1997 for a BBC documentary about Epstein, saying: "If anyone was the Fifth Beatle, it was Brian."

In his 1970 Rolling Stone interview, Lennon commented that Epstein's death marked the beginning of the end for the group: "I knew that we were in trouble then [...] I thought, 'We've f*ck*ng had it now.'"

In 2006, Cynthia Lennon said: "I think Brian's one of the forgotten people. It's almost as if he's been written out of the [Beatles] story. I don't think they'd have got anywhere without Brian."

Next I'm going to look into drum patterns and see if I can program some cool rythms. Once I master that I start my own blacked death metal project. Head is full of ideas and I can't wait to see how it turns out. Gonna build it all together in ableton live, because why not. Once I have a first song recorded I'm going to dive into audio mastering to make it sound nice and juicy. I can also draw so cover art gonna be easy. I would prefer a full band but being a father the only time I can make music is at night. I also want to experiment adding some folk instruments, but that may not fit to death metal. But with AI and all I kinda appreciate those instruments a bit more.

^ did this with an sm7b with the cover off just to see how "finished" i could get the vocal to sound on the way in

uhh yeah it's interesting idk i think i'm gonna replace the EQ with something a little simpler with like idk 2 shelves and 2 midrange bands that i'll only move like 2db here and there -- cos rn it's like, the moves i'm making are too large on the graphic EQ and i'm moving them with my motherfucking fingernails. also like... the EQ should be more transparent than the one i have, too much transformer sound in the one i'm using

but overall i'm quite impressed with analog compared to the UAD equivalents. or maybe it's just the workflow -- but either way my recordings feel more dynamic and i think there'll be a lot less work to do in mix and no surprises in arrangement now that i've got this workflow of like, figuring out the EQ and compression on the way in so i know how everything fits together

it doesn’t take genius tier knowledge to write extremely successful songs. most chart topping hits contain very simple melodies and only basic use of theory.
anons itt are so severely mentally disabled that they think they can achieve the same success without doing proper research like me.
anons constantly trying to argue with me are suffering from severe delusion and derangement because they can’t handle the cognitive dissonance from producing 10+ years with no success insisting that they just have to find the right vst or study more theory while ignoring hardware like the 1176 that is used in every major professional studio.

>>130880024
it's simple and basic FOR A GENIUS so people with high foreheads like max martin can dominate the scene while craniumlets sit in the cuck chair

max martin reportedly uses a hardware 1176 all the time for vocals and he's obsessed with the metric halo channel strip plugin for its sonic character while retards don't appreciate the nuances of these pieces of hardware and specific plugins

craniumlets can't even imagine what it's like to have this enlightened level of consciousness

some vintage gear is really obscure and it's hard to find much information about it, so it's a bit of a gut feel decision or a gamble to buy it, or not really much of a gamble if the price is right. but this cranium shape thing, it's compelling. it explains why most anons behave like NPCs and are incredibly slow to learn and completely fail to understand concepts that require higher thought, because anons are literal brainlets. it's disappointing in some ways to learn that people masquerade as being equally good human beings, but you eventually realize that they're despicable subhumans, goyim, zombies, NPCs. but it's also incredibly validating for me to know that i'm an actual genius and these plebs have nothing on me. i have a cranial shape that tracks well with proven musical geniuses throughout history.

Microcephaly is typically defined as a head circumference measuring two or more standard deviations below the average for a given age and sex.
Symptoms vary widely but commonly include:
>Intellectual and learning disabilities
>Delayed motor development, speech, and movement
>Abnormal muscle tone or balance issues
>Poor appetite and weight gain
>Seizures

jews are everywhere in hollywood but for the most part they're not the main creative influence in music

>>130887001
also you brainlets might assume that it's just about the intellectual and learning disabilities but motor skills are deeply connected with musical ability
>Music and motor control activate many of the same areas of the brain. Research indicates that musicians often have larger brain volumes in regions governing motor coordination.

some anons have consistently denied that analog warmth is even a thing whatsoever. many anons believe that JP8000 emulations sound the same as the hardware JP8000 etc. that's fucked up regardless of the size of your cranium. you people don't have extraordinary musical abilities and you just shit up the thread with your dunning-kruger.

>In standard English, "you" serves as both the singular and plural pronoun. Because the word does not distinguish between one person or many, users on language platforms suggest using regional terms like "y'all", "you guys", "you lot", or "youse" to make it explicitly clear that you are addressing a group.
you're also in denial about analog warmth, you're grouped in with the other anons. you're just a shitposter who has no business trying to be a music producer.

I know everyone hates AI but having in-thread frontier LLMs would be very useful for things like this. Not like the shallow cheap-model @grok things but like the expert Grok model or better yet GPT-5.6/Claude Fable. They will explain this better and more correctly and helpfully than nearly any prospective human respondent here would. They'd explain it and create a little diagram demonstrating it, in a matter of seconds.

I think someone's wrong about who the smoothbrain is here.

you're just dishing out these salty one-liners. you have a low verbal IQ. you're utterly uncreative musically as well. you don't enjoy music like a normal person.

OBJECTIVELY you're fucked up in the head if you believe that a software emulation sounds as good as the hardware JP8000. you would need to hire a real producer or join a real band so that you can ride the coattails of their talent because you don't have the talent on your own.

i like cobrah. i'm fed up by the dunning-kruger who think it's easy as cake to make the sounds. he accuses ME of having a shallow surface-level understanding when he's the one who underestimates the complexity and artistic merit of commercially successful songs like the ones by cobrah.

>>130890395
it doesn’t take a genius tier sound designer to make sounds like cobrah. to a low iq inexperienced anon like you even the most basic sounds sound amazing. the boomer was extremely impressed by her early work and even failed to identify the most common splice samples that were spammed as nauseum. what makes cobrah impressive is the actual production and engineering. you can’t properly identify what is actually complex about this music because your ears aren’t developed and like every other anon itt you have no idea what you’re talking about and haven’t done the research or hard work like i have been doing.

maybe you're having difficulty with finding what's funny or interesting about the exceptionally large craniums. they're like freakishly, cartoonishly big. but your brainlet minds might have a degree of "face blindness" and such so that you struggle to fully comprehend exactly how much larger they are than the average.

>>130890701
for the love of all that is good, stop this fucking nonsense. how much gratification do you really get out of this?

>>130890776
my gratification is immense. i've learned a ton and obtained an epic amount of high quality gear. i'm more or less ready to make music to at least mid-tier professional quality standards, but i'm not in a rush, i can practice playing instruments etc. my ability to find out this correlation between musical talent and brain size despite the gaslighting by the politically correct police is further evidence of my potential, and i just happen to have a nice cranium myself. i'm basically just running my victory lap as i need nothing from anons, they don't have any advice to give to me or to anyone ITT that would suddenly inform people how to produce professional quality music.

>>130890824

terence tao isnt gonna fuck you bro

this rear bus compression stuff is pretty cool. is it an industry standard or just some niche thing that some people copy from andrew scheps?

>>130891691
the core principle of reducing dynamic range of everything but certain main elements that will further influence dynamic processing down the line is “standard,” but not everybody uses the same buss routing like that.
that and variations are not really a niche thing at all.

>>130891941
fair enough

>>130889439
i am not familiar with this style so i cant tell you with certainty but i would say if they arent they are very close.

sell those purples and get an api 3 or 4 band. and take bigger breaths when you sing, you don't have enough air to hit the notes youre trying to hit.

>>130890824
what's on your 2 bus hotshot?

>>130891691
parallel compression is pretty widely used. his method makes stuff 3d and sit pretty in the mix. it's a big step to getting stuff to sound finished. what comp do you use for rear buss stuff?

When will people start making stuff like Justice's Cross again?

>>130894417
it is impossible to do now. music is not the same and no good samples are left to make music like that so it can not be made again.
there is no point to even trying.

The stock one in cubase thats supposed to be an equivalent to an 1176 (its called vintage compressor) since some guides recommended this type. I also made a separate parallel compression bus for drums and bass only while using the rear bus solely for guitar and vocals. Very decent results

Is a korg d1 for 250usd a good deal for a new piano learner who wants a midi controller as well? Am fine with no speakers as I'd not use them. Just not sure if its good kb for the price or if I should look for something else.

>>130895581
watch ua, they often have giveaway events where you can get their 1176 or la2a for free. series compression sounds more polished and more 3d to me, so that's what I use on my parallel comp busses(1176->la2a). I usually have one just for drums that i set more aggressively, then one for melodic stuff that i am more delicate with and dial in until it sits how i like. ymmv but a lil tip to step it up. have fun m8

>>130896054
korg is fine, any cheaper hammer action is gonna be roughly the same. and that's a good price. get it.
