recently discovered the breadtubers exploiting the curious hobbyists with their music production "knowledge" have been gain staging incorrectly the whole time by using VU meters on every single component, including kick and snare. they do this because they force you to buy their plugin that include VU meters and tell you its the only correct way to do it.

Wonder if I should buy a fabfilter bundle. I want to use their reverb.

I salute all the lads who posted here because this music shit is not easy. I suspect some posters here, both posting links and providing criticism, are feds or glowniggers or something, but if you are just a guy successfully or unsuccessfully making beats then I tip my hat to you! You are not alone, people are rooting for you.

if anyone takes any of these posts seriously enough to become demoralised, how would they hope to ever become successful music producers? separate the wheat from the chaff i say, bring in the CIA!

fucking basket cases all of you, fucking retards, you don't see how plugin devs are grifting you with subpar products, even the digital gear is a tiny niche because real producers know that there is more to the sound than just running the firmware, actually most of those vintage digital synths have weak synth engines, the jp8000 supersaw is a trivial algorithm, the "magic" is mainly from the sound of the hardware, you're too retarded to do much else than sit at your computer and download plugins, you think it's too much effort to plug a cable into a physical piece of gear

I can't write lyrics to save my life.
I have literally hours worth of mostly-done music, like dozens of rock/metal songs like this but all instrumental.
I'm pretty decent at singing and doing various harsh metal vocal styles but im no fuckin poet.
At this point I'd be willing to just pay someone to write me lyrics if they're good.
Any recommendations?

>>131788794
>recommendations
yeah read a book of poetry you hack

it’s too large a topic to tackle in one post with no context, but the generic answer is to get conscious influences/taste, and examine what you’re trying to express and how that is best said

>>131788885
I fuckin hate reading, but I've tried this too for inspiration.
Unfortunately I've found this is like trying to learn how to cook by eating out at restaurants.

>>131788975

do you know what type of lyrics you like? does it even matter or will you eat up whatever is served to you no matter where you eat?
eating and developing a palette and being familiar with different types of foods definitely maggees if you take cooking seriously.

>>131789046
It makes sense, but I genuinely have no interest in literature or poetry.
I'm solely focused on adding voice as an instrument for more color, but beyond just doing some metal AAHHHHH screams here and there.
My music has no meaning, it's just interesting riffs and melodies I want to record, I guess thats the main problem.
Just curious if others had similar issues and how they've solved it. I'm sure it's a common place to get stuck in music making process.
Collaboration seems like a solution but idk anyone who does this kinda stuff.

>>131789163
you can use ai if you have no moral qualms and really just don’t care then lol

>>131789222
No more moral qualms than with any other kind of plagiarism, but it just sucks.
It can write ok-ish generic soulless lines but matching it to the rhythm and phrasing of music is something I haven't seen any AI do

>>131789305
bro of course you have to edit them to the music yourself jfc how lazy are you lol

>>131789436
I regularly spend hours and weeks polishing 10 seconds of audio that I usually end up not even using.
It's not a laziness problem, having an existing line of words fit a melody in a way that doesn't sound silly is very challenging, especially if you have anything more complex like those 7/4 riffs with changing syncopations

>>131773681
Pretty good, definitely gotta program some more elaborate stuff if you're doing a drum machine.

guys what if we destroyed 4chan prod and chuzo is actually the good guy ?

in a hypothetical scenario where someone gave me an ultimatum to become a doctor or else i would die (i'm not suicidal in this scenario), it would be piss-easy for me to go through med school, i would have completely valid confidence that my intellect is sharp enough to learn everything that would be required from a doctor, i would adapt and enjoy my new identity as a med school student and future doctor. but some people would be too brainlet to become a doctor no matter how hard they tried even though you don't have to invent something new to become a doctor, just do more or less the same as countless other human beings have already proven is possible to do. some people might have ADHD tendencies so they could force their way through med school but they would hate every second of it, they're not naturally talented to do such things. this kind of thing applies to music production as well, most people couldn't produce a hit song even if their life was on the line as in this hypothetical scenario, even if they were given years and years to dedicate to learning music production, they're just lacking something in their brain so that they can't make particularly great music.

home studio tip

If you get annoying reverb due to empty walls, just buy some cheap bookshelves and fill them up with just any random books or old newspapers you get for free

that will actually dampen the noise and is probably cheaper than real audio treatment

Question: I took a live recording of a band a couple of months ago - the tracks consist of one soundboard stereo mixdown feed, a stereo pair of room mics close to the stage, and a stereo pair of room mics by FOH (this source is unbalanced, it would probably need like +3db added to the left channel). The end goal for me is to keep the "band playing in a room" feel - the soundboard feed lacks low end thump but makes up for it in clarity, and vice versa for the room mics.

How would you approach mixing and matrixing these? I gave it a couple of attempts a few months ago, but was unsatisfied by the results, even a little embarrassed to send a hasty mix to the band. Here's a screenshot of the waveforms - I can post a zip of the files if anyone in /prod/ is willing to take a crack at it.

Thanks for your patience. Files are untouched - the close room mic has some extra runtime tacked onto the beginning. You'll probably have to stretch one of the sources a little (a fraction of a percent over ~56 min.) to keep the recordings in phase. Other than that, I hope you enjoy the music enough to try your hand at mixing it.

>>131811468
Just keep in mind it might trap moisture and isn't that cheap, usually sold by square ft/m so definitely measure and calculate first.

I wouldn't really consider it a "satanic" track as nothing in the lyrics really glorify the devil or hell like those cheesy metal bands. It's very energetic and fast, sure: but that's more of a punk thing. It's more of a goth/halloween type vibe rather than cheesy satanic death metal. It's closer to Misfits than it is something like Venom.

They were contemporaries and toured together frequently. Nice ear.

I was having trouble with giving the bass the right low-end thump and not just being gristly midrange, as well as bringing the vocals up without that midrange side effect. This sample >>131822264 seems to have addressed both. Was it just playing around with the levels, or did you do EQ work?

Sincerely appreciate you taking a look.

>>131822462
>contemporaries
damn i’ve never heard of them. that’s pretty cool.
do you do sound at a place they played and that’s how you got a hold of the recordings?

i did very subtle m/s eq on the rooms, and then a tiny bit of eq on the master just to tone down the high mid. most of the sound correction was just re-aligning things from a few different and then re-leveling… the FOH mic actually drifted a lot.

>>131822564
>Do you do sound at a place and that's how you got ahold of the recordings?
Naw. It took asking the headliner for permission to record ahead of time, and a cool ass venue 5 hours from where I live to pull this off, plus a competent and willing audio engineer to let me plug in a field recorder to the console. This was my hobby for a little while.

>i did very subtle m/s eq on the rooms, and then a tiny bit of eq on the master just to tone down the high mid
Thank you. Never considered m/s eq to help alter it.

>the FOH mic actually drifted a lot
Yeah, I dunno what happened with that source. Maybe it had to do with distance and not spacing the mics properly. This was before I picked up a 3D printed DIN-spaced stand for the capsules.

>>131822629
>a cool ass venue 5 hours from where I live to pull this off
well worth the effort. it’s tragic how little high quality live music gets captured for lesser known acts

>Never considered m/s eq to help alter it
yeah ime it’s third on the list after a phase flip and just lowering the width when it comes to correcting phase. most often just couple db on a bell or shelf will completely fix something.

>>131822703
>tragic how little high quality live music gets captured for lesser known acts
It was a simple goal to enhance what actually matters in a live performance - the music itself. For established bands, if I did a good job, it would be a boon to their archival. For up-and-comers, it gives them a document to promote their live act (if they did well), and a clearer blueprint on what to focus on fixing in rehearsal (if they did poorly).

Plenty of live videos get captured and uploaded to YouTube that sound like shit, because the smartphone or built-in mic on the camera can't handle the SPL of a typical concert - it just distorts or engages some built-in compression. They were designed to capture audio at speaking volumes.

It's also a bit worrying to see Instagram and TikTok (reels in particular) become the primary way to promote one's band - visual spectacle should never override the actual music. I dislike Angine de Poitrine taking advantage of this (the music is boring).

but yeah enough about my gay ethos, video killed the radio star and so on

noble goals

idk man some people have just lost the plot.
i mean chasing the “wrong” goals with music has always been a thing, but social media is a path with too little resistance for people who struggle with knowing what to do

fixed it up a bit and added an "intro"

Gotta start flattening some of this, want to get some overall thoughts before I do. What do yall think?

This whole time I thought i had phase issues with my hard panned guitars and it turns out it was simply because my pan law was on equal power when most modern albums are mixed with the pan law at either -4.5db or -6db. Summing to mono now no longer sounds horribly fucked.

>>131823368
more like tran law

fuck i need more of that whoooooshing white noise

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_ioILCW9dU
what makes the synth in the intro sound so wet? is it a res bump? how make?

>>131825558
is it an acid?

>>131825558
>>131825578
aight i think its an acid bass

>>131823127
Need to push the bass harder and give me some more highs to feel, maybe some whitenoise sprinkled in

>>131825428
True

is there any hope for these threads left?

>>131826524
no the regular posters are the stupidest mentally ill freaks i've ever seen. they've been at it for 10+ years and still can't figure it out. making *great* music is hard, but not impossibly hard, if there would be a similar recruitment drive like for AI researchers who can actually use their brain and figure things out, there would be way more talented music artists and producers appearing on the scene.

fuck yeah chuzo, tell em!

I've been trying to recreate the sound from this track. Can anyone give me some feedback on how close I am? Been working on this for weeks... (idk why)
First half is the reference track, second half is mine

Here is the full reference track if curious:

>>131831558
Yours sounds like BBC News starting up

>>131831558
dog do something else what the hell are you doing

>>131831598
Thanks for listening I guess
>>131831603
I need to learn how to design all these sounds before I can make something of my own

>>131831700
have you never heard of diminishing returns?
you’re going to get much further much faster getting close-ish making 10 different sounds than you will banging your head against the wall for just one.

>>131831836
Yes, I know.
But to be fair, there are like 10 different sounds in that loop.

>>131832604
okay well either way you should be trying several sounds a day as opposed to being hung up on one (song, whatever).

at the very least scrap and restart with a new synth, effect or whatever so you can see how many different routes you can take to similar results, or what variations you can get.

Without telling me to scrap it and start all over, can /prod/ anons tell me what you would do to make this not sound like shit

https://voca.ro/1fdwIz2Dn62f

completely change the arrangement so the pad and lead aren’t clashing like crazy, rethink whatever filtering, reverb and distortion you’re doing. basically thin all that out and focus on separation

>>131832812
>>131832867
meant for you btw, sorry

>>131826780
Whats your opinion on pan law?

>>131833257
i think people should just call themselves bi i don’t understand why everybody needs to be so fucking woke and special about who they fuck

>the culprit was DC offset the whole time

bruh my fucking headroom

Trying to make some spooky atmospheric noise for a Halloween noise compilation

what's stopping someone from buying youtube views to another person and then reporting that person just to fuck him over and no one never knows anything?

>>131833562
you wouldnt even need to report them, just buy easily detected bot views and the automated system will detect it

https://voca.ro/1jxWUOdPVNz5
what does prod thingk about my newest loop?

>>131832812
lead gets kinda stale towards the end but otherwise sounds great

thanks to the dude who recommended newgrounds the other day
got scouted, frontpaged and a couple thousand plays of my track in the last 24 hrs

>>131833630
I should try this

I know almost 200 chords now but my improv hasn't really gotten any better. What do you call that part, and how do I get better at it?

>>131834442
practice probably
“applied” theory and not just “theory”

>>131833257
it's one of the most trivial aspects of music production, you're being retarded if you get stuck on worrying about such a thing for an extended period of time, even if you want to get it perfectly right you should be able to find the answers, if you choose the right tools they should give the user the option to choose a good pan law, you don't need to reinvent the wheel

I want to buy another semi modular and a 2000 dollars of eurorack modules

>t. never released a song ever

>>131835292
but youve made dank sounds

>>131835653
Thats true. Thanks :)

I wanted to do a cover of "Out of the Rain" by Clan of Xymox (amazing song btw), I thought that I wasn't going to be able to pull it off but I actually managed to make it through the whole thing and it came out pretty decent. Someone else might listen to it and think it sucked, but I liked how it came out.

I tried playing the drums with my midi keyboard, pretty fun stuff. Just some jungle with the sonic advance 3 soundfont.

I pressed random keys on my keyboard for a bit and I can't play the piano at all. Someone else might listen to it and think it sucked, but I liked how it came out.

I lost the plot too, anon. Listening back to Aadam Jacobs's live tapes (often written to cassettes, transferred to digital and barely post-processed in a simple DAW like Audacity) made me realize I'm being too concerned with some arbitrary standard of quality. The end result is what it is. I think I'm just disgusted with the laziness of what passes for archival these days. One shit sounding vertical video recorded on impulse is usually what gets publically posted on YouTube of most concerts, if at all.

Jacobs truly loved music, a melomaniac in all senses. It is mind boggling how much this man captured in the friendly city of Chicago during the best years of experimentation in rock. Taping shows in full is the ultimate sign of appreciation for a musician.

I dunno. Maybe I'm salty. I was denied permission to record an upcoming concert, a band member I personally talked to didn't go to bat for me, and I don't want to attend if I can't do so. The last time I did, it broke my heart seeing happy people not having a document of the music that provided them such a good time.

I'll cut the sorriness. some Unwound-adjacent rawkin for you to get into.
