So are these threads dead? Here's a WIP.https://voca.ro/1i41tJPQ83Rf
>>131503146you should focus on uncluttering the mix first before fretting over the limiting.ironically that will make it way easier to make it louder.i actually kind of fw this but it's sloppy as hell and lacking in too many details.>>131503183Read 7:43 PM
>>131503146Sounds like a seizure, I fuck with it.
>>131503183not enough melodic direction, lacks "vibe"drums are a bit robotickeep grinding x
>>131503008The opportunity for actually useful AI composition tools was squandered by one-button-song bullshit and it makes me sad.
>>131503381The perfect use of AI for me would be describing the kind of synth sound you want, and it makes a preset for you, which you can then use or modify yourself, as needed.
>>131503419that exists
>>131503488But they suck. Also, making synth patches is like 70% of the fun.
>>131503419I want AI for voicing. Like give it a melody and chord changes, and specify how you want it led. Close, drop 2, drop 4, 4 voice florid counterpoint, etc. I know how to do it but it’s time consuming
i gave ai the simple prompt "how to dial in my bus compressor" and this is what it gave me.
>>131503572Yeah, wow, that’s amazing.People who “””learn””” to mix btfo!
>>131503609exactly
>>131503572these exact settings would be wrong in the overwhelming majority of cases where you’d want to buss compress.like this is so broad that it’s not even a “starting point” and i feel stupid for reading the responses last thread and not instantly recognizing that you’re just baiting
>>131503609>NOOOOOOOOOO YOU HAVE TO WATCH 30 MINUTE VIDEO ESSAYS OF FAT BALD AMERICANS WHO WEAR HATS INDOORS WHO ARE TRYING TO SELL YOU THEIR PLUGIN SNAKEOIL QUANTIZER TM IN ORDER TO LEARN HOW TO MIX
>>131503714i cropped the part where google asks what genre and what instruments are in the composition. you can tailor it. but you dont even have to do that, just get in the ball park and do it yourself if it doesn't work
>>131503735it’s just going to give you another unhelpful answer and make the process slower than it needs to be
>>131503757>unhelpful answerunhelpful how?
>>131503769put on your critical thinking cap and circle back around to why the first answer wasn’t helpful.now apply that logic to why the second answer isn’t going to help and why consequent questions are just going to be a time sink.it’s apparent that further conversation will just confirm that you’re a lost cause (and if not then you’re just extremely slow and stupid) so i’m going to respond anymore.
NO MORE AI DISCUSSION. POST WIPS.
>>131503821>put on your critical thinking cap and circle back around to why the first answer wasn’t helpful.its not helpful because thats how i would start off with a bus compressor anyway without ai assistance or a snakeoil salesman on youtube. i would simply dial it in based on the song itself. >so i’m going to respond anymore.oh good, i thought you were leaving me anon. dont scare me like that
You guys use delay lama, right?https://voca.ro/1grnBr7oJeyM
i only use hardware delays
I just duplicate the sound and turn it down to make a delay effect
I just play the note with decreased velocity.
I just pretend i can hear the delay
why do major key signatures sound better for sad/melancholy songs a lot of the time
>>131504813You gotta be happy first before becoming sad
>>131504813interestingly people under 35 dont associate minor scales with sadness like older generations do thanks to things like hiphop predominantly using minor scalesregardless, simplified statements like "minor = sad, major = happy" are dumb and any astute composer can get different feelings out of any scale
>>131504813https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZUE7KTtUwEdoes this sound happy to you?
>>131504943Why are you angry? Maybe take a break from the internet for a bit
>>131504943thats not the song title lol
>>131504961you’re right i’m sorry. not eating for 30 hours was probably overkill for self flagellation
>>131504980is is to me
>>131502800Where do i start to make music? I'm a newfag..
>>131505217buy cubase elements and begin. have fun!
>>131505217But mixcraft instead it's MUCH cheaper and (imo) better.Pirate a bunch of pluginsStart playing
>>131505241>>131505345So just like that? Download a program and mess around with everything even if I don't know shit about music?
>>131505387check the first link in the pastebin:https://pastebin.com/p2QUqMzjit's supposed to be part of the pasta but OP is a fag

wanted to make a video game type song using some vg sound fontshttps://voca.ro/1cIpk2z9CxpD
>>131504813major is brighter, minor is darker. The idea that minor is "sad" is kind of stupid, actually, it's sort of like saying a color is sad. That kind of cultural relationship might exist (e.g. blue) but it isn't really how we experience looking at an image. Similarly, a key represents a kind of color for a song (bright or dark) and the emotion it produces is something derived from that.If you want a song to be sad, a good bet is to use a major key and find a way to get the b6 in there, falling to 5. There's a musical sense of longing produced when a "wrong" note appears and then falls to the right one. Classic example is the IV - iv - I and the III7 - I. This is also the magic trick behind the "augmented 6th" chords.
>>131503720Have you considered just learning how a compressor works and what the knobs on it do, and then like, using your ears to guide you about where those knobs should be set?
>>131505958It's really jarring (not bad, just unexpected) to hear the melody repeat itself up a 4th and then drop back, like you're doing the classic Doom-blues riff and then just completely not do the last 4 bars in the V IV I. We got 3/4ths of the way through E1M1 on a flute and then decided to do something different at the last minute.
>>131505486actually excellent use of playing off-beat.
>>131505958poor choice of sounds on the main melody and it's overall a bit too rigid and basic, but that little flourish over the final section sounds amazing, love the panning on it.
>>131497293i just added ipad functionality, lmk if it workssneed-and-feed.github.io/
>>131505217First learn music theory. Buy a book or something. It's also very important to learn to play the clarinet first. You'll thank me later.
>>131507821Give me a free lesson of music theory, anon, spoon feedme please
>>131507997NTA (and he’s being a smartass) but here’s ultra simplified music theory (well, functional harmony, but this is what most people mean, not rhythm theory)A key is a collection of 7 notes repeated up and down the octave. They can be major or minor but these are the same; every major key is also a minor key. The first key you should learn is C (which is also A minor), all the white keys on a keyboard. You can get any other key by sliding that collection of notes up and down; D (also B minor) is the same sequence of steps between notes as C, but starting on a higher note.If you stack every-other-note patterns 3 at a time in a key, that’s a chord. so C (skip D) E (skip F) G, or D (skip E) F (skip G) A. When you play a chord, it has a relationship with other chords in the key that your ear recognizes.Your tonic chord (CEG, or ACE for minor) is “home”. Stable. The “center of gravity” everything falls to. Your Dominant chord (GBD) points there. Play that chord, it wants to go to tonic. Your Subdominant chord (DFA or FAC) wants to go to Dominant.There are about 900,000 extensions of this core logic. Any time you are noodling around and play something that sounds cool, and you go “huh, that doesn’t fit with my tiny little model”, that’s an extension of the logic you don’t know yet. Ask someone or look it up. Now you learned a new technique/relationship to add to your understanding of music theory.

>>131506576that's the benefit of actually playing the keys instead of programming them
>>131505486I'm gonna make this my ringtone
>>131510007I wish FL had better tools for humanizing programmed parts. They invested half their v26 budget on an AI that does a half-assed job telling you how to make 4 chord loops but they couldn’t make an intelligent humanizing algorithm
>>131507355>>131506562>>131505958https://voca.ro/1gr8jGD0K8g9went ahead and finished it off, this was just for fun so no big changes. also this is supposed to sound like an older video game song if that wasn't clear

>>131513709thank you, zoomer
i finally recorded all the bass guitar and finished the song i’ve been putting off for a week today.you may now praise me.

>>131509478Mid 2ks racing game loading music
>>131503146Lol u just can't mix, getting to -3 these days is a sad joke. Try watching baphometrix clip to zero and then watch all of analogue princess and then after that watch dan worral videos on mixing, after that honestly you should have like a actual understanding of limiting clipping and mixing at a very high level, me? I don't need to do baphometrix shit because I am at an elite level already
>>131503572Not bad basically it's just explaining how to do compression as a utility tool like engineers traditionally use it's in other words taking the transients and creating glue which is honestly what you want to master first and it's the most important aspect of a professional sound desu
Any good ressource for the latest ableton suite?
i drew chuzo as a girl :3
>>131517629i 've read some youtube comments of people saying "i'd like to hear dan worral give his take on this plugin" like le smooth voiced englishman is some genius and master producer. he just read press releases and copy written by companies.
suno has helped me in surpassing my dram
>>131518773He will teach you like the standard knowledge. Then analogue princess will teach you how to manipulate clippers and modern limiting styles and shit. Then baphometrix will step by step take you through a complex process that will teach you an incredible amount about mixing and some very advanced concepts and techniques. Ahee has some excellent tricks for loudness as well that are really easy and free to implement.

im playing more with my helix. making some mono and dual mono setups for each guitar. dont know if i want to run my effects in parallel or not
wanted to do something simple and cozy. maybe music theory bro >>131506562 can come back and critique me again before i work on it more tomorrowhttps://vocaroo.com/1gAfYuFaasP5
i have heard some clever obfuscating of the 32 bar drop (i.e the sections are broken up in ways that sound like they’re throwing in extra sections or altering the count but they’re not) but i’m too scared to do it in my normie tracks

is /mu/ raging over the new Audacity yet?
>>131530575lmao anons are quick to defend plugin emulations. it's the same principle. huge numbers of amateur guitarists and weekend warrior producers fully embrace literal AI slop plugins like NAM and acustica audio plugins because in their opinion "no one can tell the difference" so in their mind that justifies using plugins over hardware. even with hardware clones there is an issue of authenticity although from legal standpoint the patent protection is much more limited than copyright, usually the original hardware is the most desirable and people only resort to using clones for cost reasons, the same reason as why illegal software piracy is justified. there have already been very popular uses of text-to-speech and non-AI vocal synthesizers. you can easily imagine ethical uses of AI such as replicating your own voice or the voices of consenting artists. you could easily imagine AI vocal tools that are merely in the same category as autotune and such.

>>131532770not an argument, you're just making a fool of yourself. funny how it turns out that anons were the real schizos all along. this is severe dysfunction and intellectual disability that goes beyond what you could respect from random normies in a first world country. you hold on to illogical and objectively incorrect beliefs despite being shown evidence to the contrary, you can't hold a coherent conversion etc.
