oh my fucking god i just spent like 40 minutes procrastinating mixing this beat just to remember/realize my laptop's headphone jack is broken

as opposed to my shitty built in laptop speakers? of course

Then I should of said
>Not mixing on monitors

Everything sounds at least decent and spacious on stereos. Mixing on headphones sorts the wheat from the chaff. No training wheels.

Id love feedback

Any of you guys too paranoid and scared right now to make anything?

Of what?
No, but please explain more

Everyone, our stupid comment of the day

focus that fear into your art, user

also that gives you an excuse to stay indoors 24/7 and just make music. if you don't go out and no one else comes in, you can't get infected. and even if you do get infected, odds of hospitalization-requiring symptoms are very low if you're under 50. some young people do get severe symptoms but it's rare

i'd assume the majority of /prod/ is young, and even the middle aged folk here are relatively low risk.
this is only going to exasperate problems we already know about
...yes i'm noided but making music is avoiding reality to me.
also there's an element of excitement to this... I mean obviously in a morbid way but you can't tell me it won't be interesting to see how all this unfolds

how do ppl make interesting music when there is only like a few chords and scales

>Everything sounds at least decent and spacious on stereos
No, it doesn't... A mono signal will sound sound mono no matter what setup you have.

Looking for some producers interested in joining a music group of rappers and other producers.

We stylize in a genre called crushed Trap
Some shit like this youtu.be/NDMJMKu9gpI
Video game, melodic trap beats

deepest lore

Not crushed trap

fuck not again!

Its a niche genre can't blame you
That's why our group wants to make it bigger
youtu.be/0ndwTasMg4I

I’m a young person with a compromised immune system so I will probably not make it.

Why do people hate garage band??

clyp.it/ihkyh3sk

any good

No one hates it. Its just too basic for most.

>his laptop doesn't have 10 inch built in monitors
it's almost like you don't wanna make it on purpose

Generic recipes which won't work on every context are the opposite of a technique. Technique is teaching you HOW to do something, not to tell you what to do. Mixing is literally learning how to hear so you can apply those proportions to recordings. Giving people generic ready-made stuff as something to use, and not to just observe and see how they work, is the opposite of giving tips to learn how to mix.

Why is chipsynth PortaFM and chipsynth MD so impossible to pirate?

Heck, all of Plogue's products.

feedback on this twing twang music

Jeeeeez my man, this is some pretty grating shit. V cool though. It sounds extremely r a w in a satisfying way. I wish I knew your tricks. What are you making this with?

The production seems solid enough, but it's a little "safe" for me personally. I would recommend adding a melody line, making your saw synth there a little more aggressive sounding, or just layering another synth with it to make it fuller. You could also swap out those drum sounds for something a little less "stock drum" sounding, and break up the pattern a bit. In general, it needs more interest and variation. Not to be overly critical, it's definitely not bad.

can you shit on this again. i put time into the mix

Yyyyeah I’m thinking about pulling this style back and brining in some friendlier elements, this track just got out of hand and I couldn’t go back on some of the decisions I made :/
A lot of absynth, fm8, massive and serum

How's this sound lads?

>Mixing on headphones
That's not the problem, and if you're headphones are good it's great.

That's old news, we're up to the Chris controversy now.

the what now?

I completely believe one of you autist actually did this

We are the music makers, and the dreamers of dreams (about Chris' belly)

This is pretty awesome. Been digging more each new one you post, actually. Here the sculpting of timbre achieves some moments that are for real wonderful. I like considerably more than the rest the parts that start at 0:21 and 01:47 though. I get the stylistic choice of having those blaring snare/clap like sounds, but I feel your stuff really improves on sections in which you balance them more with the bass parts and make both present together. I kind of feel that your sound is building up to a more matured stage where you could have all those explosive highs kind of dancing around low stuff more, achieving maybe more groove and swing without losing the AGHHH FUCKING SHITTT BLASTING FUCKING CLASHING HARMONICS BEATING UPPPP vibe.

>i put time into the mix
You didn't put time, you made it be reborn from total ashes lol It's a huge improvement, man. Things are generally tight and coherent, and whatever may be slightly lackluster here or there in terms of punch, you're clearly now in a great place to just naturally start developing without huge worries. It's firm and sounding good all over. I can't give any praises for that stab though, both the instrument and what it is playing offer pretty much no interest. It's not offending, but doesn't seem to add anything. But overall pretty impressive progress.
Also as a detail, but could improve even more I think, is that in some moments your kick gets softer, but your claps keep hitting hard and loud and become too piercing. They are a bit bright and overdone in general, but still sit well. But when the kick loses power, would be go to tame them around the kick some more. It's a small deal though.

Thoughts on this dungeon synth? I just downloaded Erang's free sample pack. Would love general advice on it.

Sorry, man, I feel bad for you insisting there and your stuff getting ignored, but this is too cringe and boring to even listen to. Don't want to be beam, but every time I see people doing these meme genres, what goes on my head is that it's someone who wanted to do real music, but failed to create anything and so they adopt these totally formulaic titles where they can just copy literally everything they heard before without exploring sounds in any way. Cool you are commited and working, but I don't know, just stinks.

>depriving yourself of food for that altered perception ((((:

Thank you so much man
I definitely have along way with getting this sound more balanced, it's definitely too unruly as is

I can definitely see that perspective when people do shit like haphazardly vaporwaving a song and calling it a day or whatever, but there have definitely been cases where people were either slow to start or immediately took sounds that were regarded as "meme genres" and went on to create both incredibly interesting and accessible music

... kind of agree with the other guy though, this is a bit *too* slow moving
rec me some DS stuff though because I know pretty much fucking none
this almost comes across as early RPG-ish to me

okay nah fuck fasting and sleep dep this is fucking drunk typing
