/prod/ is in a fucking rough patch huh
Well, man I got a dayjob and the other guy that bumps these as well ain't there as it seems.
Would it be possible to add melodies or samples (maybe even speech?) in frequencies above that of human hearing in a song, so that it is not audible, but still there? I'm guessing 'yes' but I don't know enough about production, just getting started.
If so, how possible would it be to separate it from the rest of the song and make it audible again? In other words: could this be used to leave secret melodies or messages in songs?
I guess the first thing would be to make sure that these frequencies are saved and can found by the recepient. Not sure if a replay by radio or a CD or a file or the like even contains these.
Oh, didn't think of that
>An audio CD can represent frequencies up to 22.05 kHz, the Nyquist frequency of the 44.1 kHz sample rate
Human hearing cap is at about 20khz (mine is at 18khz :( ) so there's not much space.
This. But to regain them just transpose them by plaing them slower.
To hide stuff in music I'd rather out the content in 2 different song that - when played at the same time - contain the full information. There was something like that with 2 Albums of "Die tödliche Doris".

just starting to get into this, hi guys
Oh, that's clever. Thanks.
apologies for the stupid question in advance.
how do you recognize as a beginner which instrument or plugin could be used to mimic a song from a movie/song/game?
i'd like to learn to make my own songs for my projects in FL Studio.
for example, i was trying to recreate this song(i actually somewhat did in garageband) but couldn't understand where those 80's sound effects could be replicated: youtube.com
or more scifi "instruments" like from: youtube.com
Get good headphones (Beyerdynammic DT770 wiht high ohm or the like) and listen. Then try.
>listen to good music
>ah man ill never be able to make stuff like this
how do i be more positive bros
How could you make the sounds from this track, that start around 33 seconds in? The high pitched squeaky door knob ones
>listen to really good music
>ah man i want to reach that level myself
thats how you motivate yourself when seeing people better than you, just a slight change on how you think.
Hello, I'm new to this. I read the pastebin and it helped a lot, yet I have some doubts. I play classical guitar so mainly I just want to record myself, but also I want to play with some synths. My processor is Intel Core i3 and 4 gb of ram, so... Which one would you reccomend? Begginer, classical guitarrist with a passing interest in synths and with an outdated laptop. Thanks in advance.
the term you're looking for is steganography
how do you "try" if you not don't know the instrument anyways?
Because you don't need headphones for that, you need a good sound design/instrument knowledge so you can identify the instrument or replicate the sound on a synth. Headphones would just help you get really small details which is something a more advanced person would look into.
I actually came here to pose this exact question.
The sound I'm looking for sounds like a jazz organ/piano. Thank u Persona5
i see. how do i acquire instrument/sound design knowledge if i don't have access to any instruments? am i suppose to sift through all instruments in the world up till now just so i can finally hear what instrument or sfx a single 1 minute song uses?
Recognizing an instrument is gonna be strictly up to being familiar with the characteristics of that instrument. Start by trying to determine what category of instrument you think it is (string, percussion, woodwind, etc.) then listen to examples until you find one that sounds right.
Synthesizer-wise pretty much all you need is a good wavetable synth. Wavetable is basically the utility-knife of synthesis and can handle any analog or PD sound, as well as take a good crack at some FM.
If you're focused on 80s stuff you'll probably want a dedicated FM synth though, like Dexed, because FM was the New Hotness over the first half of the decade.
Effects chain wise it's anybody's game. For more modern stuff like the Starcraft thing go nuts with your signal routing, for retro stuff remember that effects cost money and take up space so you probably wouldn't have tons of redundant effects in the same studio unless you were one of the big boys.
>sift through all instruments in the world up till now
Basically yes. If you want to be a sound designer you need to be familiar with the tools of sound design. At least these days you have resources to hear any instrument/effect in the world without leaving the comfort of your own home.
do I actually need to sign up for usenet to dwonload from audioz?
Im trying to download ableton
Any decent resources or videos on introducing more dynamic elements and structure to production? after moving out of hip hop and endless 8 bar loops ive been working on this for a while myself but think some sort of guided approach would work a lot better. to be specific i mean in terms of improving your transitions, builds, fills, distinction between chorus and verse et cetera.
wtf usenet? just torrent it
just going off the site the sticky recommended.
All the torrents i can find are for ableton 9. Not sure if there's many 10 torrents out there. I'm currently using the trial
Yes you do need usenet for audioz, but you can just torrent it, also, they constantly are uploading Ableton 10 torrents so I don't know if you are searching correctly or not but there is Ableton 10 torrents on basically any torrent site out there.
Where should I get it? I tried 1337x but the most popular torrent is 9 and the most popular 10 torrent, comments say it has a virus
You don’t need Usenet for audioz, stop being such a dick
Have you actually read the sticky? Why aren't you using rutracker instead
Sorry, I dont pirate software that often. Also I've never used rutracker. When I looked it up, it was all russian so my inner xenophobe made me exit out
Well rutracker is the best public tracker for stuff like that, you can just automatically translate the page using Chromium.
Yeah and it would take 1 year for you to download a single thing, literally would be better to pay for a VIP account on audionews instead.
>109 projects i will never finish and cant find the one im looking for becauuse they all have jibberish vague names
how do people manage to make their song sound so loud without being distorted?
i downloaded it from rapidgator, it took hours but it works
don't know why they don't just used encrypted mega links
i use qbittorrent with a bunch of trackers plugins and couldn't find live 10 anywhere else
Brick wall limiter.
compressor
it's possible in lossless files like wav, but certainly not in an mp3
do syntorial
for me reading analyses of great works did a lot. Unfortunately, there are hardly any good ressources for pop or electronic music. I like classical music, so I read a lot of analyses of piano sonatas, symphonies, fugues etc I liked and learned tons from it. The knowledge you gain from that can be transferred to modern music production without a problem. If you're not into that, I don't really know what you could do
Make sure to safeguard against Dubbi
who is dubbi? is he a creepypasta thing of this thread?
There's things you don't want to know. You DON'T.
For those who legitimately don't know:
Dubbi is a samefag and constantly brings himself up and derails threads arguing about himself with himself; DO NOT engage with any post mentioning him, it's a trap and it destroys threads.
This!
>$129.99
ouch
thank you.
>ableton crashes
>"Would you like to recover your work?"
>Crash and recover loop
>can't save
Why can't you save?
Is it still possible to save the project's parts (midi clips, effect chains, tracks, etc) individually?
it just insta crashes as soon as I hit save.
The only thing in it besides audio and a drum rack is a kontakt instrument I mapped yesterday
It's not actually a big deal, I can redo it in 10 minutes but it's still annoying lol
Can you drag your clips into the Live browser so they save as alc files?
Thaaaat would have been a good idea to try.
I've already restarted it, but i'll keep that in mind if it ever happens again
I wanted to add kicks to a youtube song, so I downloaded it, imported in ableton, aligned to the grid and added a kick on every 1/4. The kicks sound good but only on the first section of the song, on other sections they sound very off tempo. But when I listen to the song on its own it seems to be fine and always at the same tempo.
So my questio is, how can i tell if there are slight changes of bpm in a song using ableton?

is this the future of music?
that's some youtuber shit.
"real" musicians are doing the exact same thing, just with merch. You're whoring yourself out either way to make ends meet, it's up to you to figure out how to do it in the most comfortable way.
Play the clip with the metronome engaged and listen for when the song starts to drift out of time with the metronome, you should see in the edit window at that point if your audio is not fully aligned to the grid and sometimes you need to make adjustments further along.
worst case scenario send the output audio to audacity.
Oh meant to mention, you'd have to insert warp markers at that point to re-align the song, it's not always because of tempo changes, sometimes it's caused by clumsy editing when the finished song has been chopped about (radio edits etc)
>have to make a account on clyp to upload
>make it
>have to verify email
>verification link expires as soon as it's sent
wtf?
And should I do all that with what warp off and in "leader" mode i guess?
Pls help

What do you think?
I'm still learning the basics of Ableton (even the most basic stuff) but it's fun a fuuuuuuuuuuuuck
>Which one would you reccomend?
WHICH WHAT YOU RETARD
a daw? it says reaper is free and the literal third fucking line is a tl;dr telling you what you need
Are Macs really a meme?
I see lots of thriving creators people with them, and i don't know if they just got memed into it and at this point are just used to it or if they're actually superior to a pc
What's your personal experience?
