Rough demo.
I can't figure out what to do for the fucking outro of this. Got some cool guitar recordings for it but I'm not sure if it fits and what to do vocally. Up until then I like the structure although it's pretty rough all around.
>>131161884
That's nice man. Your voice reminds me of the guy from Powerplant at certain points.

haven't picked up a guitar in over a year, but i thought i'd get back on it. here's a very sloppy rusty cover of sam stone by the late great john prine

p cool
I don't like the guitar (?) that comes in at 2:17, but I do like the guitars at 3:39.
Outro suggestion: run a couple extra loops of the the bass, guitar, and cricket-noisy synth loops, then close out on a bar of the cricket noises

This is fun to listen to. Very enjoyable

>>131162834
Really nice. Soft, but has a lot of body to it

>>131163013
Don't be so hard on yourself, it wasn't sloppy. I wasn't familiar with the original and you've convinced me to give it a listen.

>>131170958
Baffling, thank you for sharing

https://vocaroo.com/1mok9ksQQbVA

This is me fucking around with my synths. Not an improvisation, I planned it out, but not super well. I've only got two synths and a sampler right now. It's live recorded, but I got it mastered just for fun
>>
>>131173668
noice, what kind of synths you got?
>>
>>131176853
Behringer Grind, Moog Subharmonicon, and my sampler is a KO II. It's a fun little setup, but I need something to play leads on

I would listen to album of this, your production sounds pretty impressive. And unlike other anon the guitar was tight though probably should've changed after 4 bars a bit

Rough demo of a song I’d started a few weeks ago and just got back to. Dunno if it’s any good/finished/shite.

>Triantán Suthain
Experimenting with flamenco-ish techniques. Added another verse and iteration of the chorus since laying down this demo but this is the general idea.

The piano playing on this is gorge

>>131170958
cursed. gg.

>>131182629
very nifty, love the little rhythmic variation

>>131184699
the sounds are very very cool, though I can’t help but wonder if it might not be more effective if the guitars were a little tighter rhythmically? I know it’s supposed to be loose but still

>>131187359
the vocals are a bit nasally like your choking out everything from your throat. sing from down in your chest. guitar parts at the end are great btw.

i'm a bass player, this is the first thing i've recorded with a guitar
i can't get used to the pick lol so i just used my fingers
https://voca.ro/1oxJRizV3uF3
>>
>>131190440
comfy. the softer feel of the finger playing suits it
>>
>>131190440
100% pick-free guitar playing – beyond just actual “fingerstyle” proper – is a totally legit way of playing. There’s obviously going to be certain timbres and styles out won’t necessarily be able to pull off bareback, but there’s a shittonne of unique stuff you can do with dynamics and combining techniques with just your fingers.
>>
>>131187932
Lovely chord choices in the first one. Really atmospheric, suits the lyrics well. The singing in the second one is less smooth, but the song idea seems good. What language is this?
>>
You're making me want to try again
>>
>>131192345
Do it bro
>>
>>131187932
>tighter rhythmically
You are right for sure but once I get that deep I am almost never able to go back and clean it up. If its any consolation the rest of the song is more rhythmically tight and this is the junkie breakdown

>>131189904
Thanks for listening
>>
>>131193575
That makes sense - the overall sound is pretty sick; you have the full piece?
>>
>>131173668
this is neat, kinda reminds of a lighter/chip-tune-y-ier Front 424

>>131191923
Thank you. I still dunno if they’re any good at all though myself.

The second one is in Irish.

How to sampler? Do you record things beforehand or do you make new things as you go usually?
Live electronic performances just seem incredible. I can maybe manage sweeping a filter or change steps around. It's so easy to fuck it all up with the wrong knob.

Sampling isn't really that hard, the hard part is finding the right stuff to sample, which I'm clearly failing at. Other than that, it's all about trimming it so it sounds right, pitching it so it's in tune, making sure strong syllables fall on a beat if you're sampling a voice. When it comes to live electronic performance, you just gotta get comfortable with your instruments. If you know what every knob does, you won't be afraid to turn it. If you want stuff to sound clean and well-orchestrated, invest in a good MIDI controller. I made the mistake of just letting the internal sequencers handle everything and it gets boring and difficult to modify quickly. Next on my shopping list is a keystep pro.

Anyway, behringer makes decent cheap synths. Don't let any stuck up synth purist tell you otherwise. Sink like 250 bucks in and give it a try. Another 100 or so for a plain keystep to control it. If you like it, you can end up having fun and being broke like me.

>>131205165
Realized I didn't answer your question. I keep a notebook where I plan out sets. Basically, at 130bpm you've got 8 blocks of 4 bars per minute. Decide how long you want to go for, then start planning out how to fill those blocks. It's not recorded, youre playing live, but it gives you some structure and takes away some of that flailing feeling that comes with performing. You can, and should, improvise within those blocks with modulation and stuff.

This thread has been getting dangerously close to page 10 several times, and I've bounced off a whole bunch of stuff since yesterday. Tried making a more ambient sweeping soundscape but couldn't get those quite right this time. I think it's decent.
>>131205165
Speaking of playing with a patch a bit. No sampler though. And I'm far less of a synth purist because I use synths on my computer. There are samplers here too.
>>
>>131206104
This is really solid stuff. The opening made me think of that Tom Waits song, whats he building in there. The instrumentation wasn't really anything like that song but it just came to mind, similar vibe. Very cool soundscape. What gear are you using?

Appreciate it anon. I'm using fake modular aka VCV Rack. The workflow just works better for me than actual DAWs.
With a Launchkey mini for easier control compared to using the mouse. Kinda want more knobs though.
I am much too poor to afford real modular equipment.
>>
>>131206225
Oh cool, I've never messed around with that. I might give it a try. Currently trying to start a modular setup, but I'm making it harder on myself by designing my own VCO. KiCad sucks by the way, if you're thinking of making your own PCBs. I'm in too deep at this point.
>>
>>131206313
I have looked at DIY kits for sure. I would love to have a proper physical setup. It's really fun to use well thought out fixed racks by other people. Mainly Omri Cohen who is the goat when it comes to VCV stuff on Youtube. Also has a lot of physical videos. I've had an awfully hard time making a good, varied one myself though.
So if I had to spend thousands of bucks on physical stuff. Only to realize that oh. It's kinda one note. It would really suck.
Also
>Two unsynced, unquantized step sequencers for pitch information
So much for staying in tune. That's kind of the beauty of it. Voltage is voltage and anything goes anywhere. Fixed racks really force you to abuse the stuff you have.
>>
>>131206448
It's gotta feel good when you make something decent come out of a rack you put together though. That's what I hope, anyway. There's a lot of good guides out there that don't tell you the exact modules to start with but give you guidelines. I think I'd prefer that to just buying a bunch of modules someone else put together, even if it does end up being kinda one note. Me personally, I've already sunk a bit of time and money into semi-modular gear and learning about how modular works, plus I do a lot of electronics work and have the equipment laying around, so it makes sense to just take the plunge. Who cares. I just want to die with a wall in my house that looks like a spaceship.
>>
>>131206604
>I just want to die with a wall in my house that looks like a spaceship.
Based wish for sure.
I mean more. Making a rack and reusing it over and over. As if it was the only one/pretend physical. That's the hard part.
Making a bespoke virtual one is free and easy. Like the one I just used. The only issue is the analysis paralysis of having to look at all the options every time. Having one work for a variety of things and do a lot of stuff at once is the hard part.
I certainly have a selection of modules I reuse constantly. Just not in the exact same configuration that a fixed rack would be.

I wouldn't worry too much about running out of interesting stuff to do. Even with a fixed rack with a handful of modules, your possibilities get astronomical fast. If you've got x inputs and y outputs, you've got 2^(x*y) ways to connect them (if you've got stacking cables or enough multis). That's not even counting knob positions.

>>
>>131213833
ah well, was sort of hoping I'd heard it out in the wild somewhere (and that it wasn't stolen). That one is probably my fav out of the bunch. Not sure what that style of bass is where it's like a sustained modulated note that slides/glides between notes, but it's prob one of my fav sounding bass styles.
>>
>>131213938
Yeah I probably rely on it too much lol that's why I'm working on a track with a staccato'ish bassline.
Nothing's out there in the wild except an older version of track #2, just a matter of finding someone to work with first.
