How bad is it if some hard panned stuff disappears when played back in mono?
Got some loud as fuck double tracked guitars that sound great in stereo but in mono I can't hear em.
depends on your audience
a lot of people listen on phone speakers, laptops, mono bluetooth speakers and whatnot
It's loud as fuck drone doom.
Doubt anyone will listen to that on teeny tiny speakers.
Or at all.
in that case it's fine
everything goes if you don't have to at least somewhat cater to normies
I'm learning to jam in my daw (fl).
Here's a few ideas I recorded today.
How does it sound? does it have a nice feel/vibe?
I recently learned a way to make my mixes sound MUCH better and that is to turn up the gain on my instruments, for the longest time I recorded things too quietly. The colors in a lot of plugins start to show at higher volumes and I can focus on turning things down in the mix as opposed to compressing every little thing to make it stick out the tiniest bit.

I also used this same approach on this tune.
I'm kinda just playing whatever, kinda psychedelic, not double checking the theory like I used to or really caring whether something is diatonic or fits the changes, just playing an idea right as it comes to me and trying to work other things around it to fit instead. Turning up the volume has kinda allowed me to open up and be less surgical.
>soundcloud.com
in this case it works fine
whereas
>vocaroo.com
this is an incoherent and dissonant mess
just speaking musically, in terms of mixing and sound both are fine
do i have to become a tranny if i want to be a good sound designer?
no
how to make buttrock?
does this sound like shit? I can't tell
clyp.it
Yes, that’s the rule.
I mean really, think about the relationship between the autechre guys, what do you think has kept them together all these years, a love for music? Fuck no, they are DEEP in the closet together
Grow up on it and never branch out
based charlsposter makes music that sounds like it would be on worldpeace.

One week home and I'm already losing my mind.
I resorted to just combining different samples in vocodex until it sounds interesting.
Start off thinking you just got kicked out of a Journey cover band and want to show those assholes who's "a drama queen".
My most recent song, what you guys think
clyp.it
Embrace the calmness in the song and you would have some chill gusic.
It gets a bit unnecessarily hectic at times.
I feel like you're trolling with the drums honestly.
i'd be interested to hear this approach in a different song.
>One week home and I'm already losing my mind.
Welcome.

Hey buddy, how you holdin up?
What have you made today?
Im still working on drums, ill definitely try to make more chill.
Have you ever listened to 2step?
>2step
i'm pretty fucking big on garage lol
there's a lot of going on that just seems random rather than actually coming together into a groove
Yea i totally agree, the drums are still shit. But i did mention i was still working on the drums. I honestly love that your are giving me shit on it too, it inspires me to push myself
it's no problem man
I wasn't trying to be mean or anything, the music is quite nice
I honestly have been working on my drums, with this song i focused more on the melody and sound design. I will definitely come back with better drums soon enough. I definitely appreciate the feedback.
What is 2step?
trying to convince myself I have everything I need to start and I din't need to acquire more software.
It's more time consuming to find the the kicks, snares, claps etc. I want than mixing
just make them yourself
But I don't know what I want until I hear it
youtube.com
live 8 makes me so nostalgic FUCK
You most likely don't need more software.
MAKE A SMALL LIBRARY YOU DUMMY
5 kicks 10-20 claps/snares and 10 hats that you use over and over. Absolutely solid samples only, no bullshit
I know you're trappin bro, that's the ideal workflow if you spend to much time looking through samples
also to add to that, label what note your kicks are playing. Tuning is annoying and just fucking pauses your session, NO MORE!
>I know you're trappin bro
I'm actually Drum 'n' bassin and UK Garagin' my dude
i made thisand a couple more that i will post in the next thread
>MAKE A SMALL LIBRARY YOU DUMMY
>5 kicks 10-20 claps/snares and 10 hats that you use over and over.
I'm afraid someone will notice, but I guess I can tinker with them to make them sound uniquer
>Drum 'n' bassin and UK Garagin
okay then i'll revise:
1 compilation of breaks, 2 boom bap packs, 2 foley packs (if future garage).
I keep an assorted library of favorite drums, autistically sorted by category, collecting from any sample pack I download that is 99% shit (the vast majority) and have a couple go to packs that I keep intact.
The bonus side of this is that on your "off" days where you have writers block or whatever, sorting through sample packs to build your own compilation gives you busy work to do and you may come across something that inspires you.
I have no idea who is who anymore yall are confusing me
Hey guys Cymatics just released its official response to Coronavirus...
And it's HUGE!
Check it out: youtube.com
hey mr cymatics didnt know you lurk
Can someone help me find an FL torrent that won't give my computer Coronavirus?
is there a go too all around transparent combo amp thats good for anything, accoustic guitar miced up, electric guitar with pedals and modeling, bass guitar, stage piano, synthesizers, drum machines and drum pads, upright bass.
I need some kind of combo amp that i can plug anything into. Roland keyboard amp maybe or a high end bass combo amp like a GK, im guessing at least 100 watts.
fl is not the easiest to find good copies of
no and you're asking way too much of a single amp
i basically have no budget, so long as its not insane, like im not spending 2k on an amp unless its spectacular, id spend 1k if it does the job though and i can use it to jam with a peizo'd upright then plug a jazz bass in, then plug a sampler in.
Think i need a pa, but i honestly just want something i can use as a loud practice amp for most instruments i play, something that doesnt weigh 400lb and i can actually carry without needing a van for a fuckin pa system.
wont help if your pussy already has it
What DAW do you recommend then?
ight do u niggas choose a key when making a song
>no and you're asking way too much of a single amp
Ive just found a roland kc600 which seems to be exactly what im looking for. 200 watts, on wheels, 4 stereo inputs line, xlr mic input, aux input, id have to preamp a bass/guitar, but i can live with that sub $1000 too
Worried about how well it would mic up an accoustic guitar or upright bass though. Laney do similar gear too, i just need to find some demos of them with lots of different gear plugged in.
ACCORDING TO THE PASTEBIN ableton or reaper

roland keyboard amp is your best bet for all around.
I've used mixcraft for the past 10+ years. People laugh, but it has a lot of power once you dive deep into the features. It's basically garageband for windows, but on super-steroids
fuckoff
>it has a lot of power once you dive deep into the features
Just like every other daw, but worse lol
please answer
>roland keyboard amp is your best bet for all around.
Yeah just having a look on youtube at roland kc series keyboard amps, peavey keyboard amps and some other brands.
Ive used a friends little 100 watt cube bass practice amp before and it was pretty good so i guess im going to have to try and find somewhere that stocks roland keyboard amps when this virus thing dies down and ask to try a guitar and a bass through it.
How the hell do you download omnisphere? (Cracked)
>don't know music theory bro
>music just sounds like static
i've recently become interested in FM8 again, kind of thought of a new approach last night, but after messing with it for the last 20 minutes I remembered how frustrating the lack of routability and modulation is.
Is fm8 really still the undisputed king of FM in current year? I love the new wavetable and granular offerings to come out over the past couple years but I find it really hard to believe that nobody has made an fm synth, even with its own shortcomings, that attempts to improve where fm8 falls flat
morphing through a quick patch that COULD be much better (just ott, raw)

Is there a way to pirate Serum or am I just fucked?
Yeah I roll a d12 every time I open my DAW and I'm not allowed to leave that key.
