They really do give zero fucks about piracy lmao

What do you mean? I get a 403 forbidden error if I try to go there.
Damn. The moon is huge and bright. Hello, moon.

How do I synthesize the fuzzy synth in the beginning of this song?

I mean they block acess to the directory to the unauthorized but leave the files accessble to anyone who has the URL.
It's the same for their ALPs. Once you buy them you can just copy the URL and give it to everybody else.
They could easily restrict them to paying users (through cookies, URL tokens, or even just with the IP) but they don't.

>tfw cant make bad music

why the fuck are u using a trap drum kit

i really like that snare

i dont. it doesnt fit the mix at all. drowned in reverb. cut the highs also. it isnt a bad loop and samples are hard its ok youll get there

well thats just like your opinion man i get where youre coming from i should look for some good quality trad drums just to have :^) thanks buddy

it's mixed like shit but it could fit

that snare sounds like shit though.
sounds like any standard lex luger one though, are you just drowning it in reverb?

faggy response tho

you leave me and my snare alone

dang that is really neat, I dig it! I wanna learn renoise but seems like a steep learning curve

Does anyone here make plunderphonics? What does the workflow even look like? I wanna try it but it sounds really fucking hard.

clyp.it/crtpmtvx

Hey dude. I have been working on a plunderphonics track
At the mixing stage.

vocaroo.com/mZHDt4OPKgI

This is it.

The first part of the workflow is getting music. I use soulseek, rutracker and of course record shops for vinyl. Then I often go through dozens and dozens of album to find good samples I like.
Then I put all the songs in Ableton, in this particular track are 19 different songs.
Then I start, often with a break and/or bassline.
Ofc you ahve to decide a tempo first and warp the songs accordingly. Then I just go bonkers with editing, cutting pasting, pitching, reversing effects.
EQing to remove frequencies is very important as with fragments from complete tracks it can get full pretty fast. But often I look for the places in the songs where just one instrument plays.
I try to do weird stuff to the samples and stretch and pitch them a lot, so it really becomes my own thing. But if I have a sample that sounds good and is in the right place, I just use it. Otherwise it's creatively pretty much the same as any other music project creativity wise.

i dont really know what to call this or how to use these sounds, they came out of my pure data synth clyp.it/nlarysms

That's a fantastic track, really well done.
How long does does it usually take for you to finish a project? It sounds like a huge time commitment going through so many records but I guess that's the nature of the genre. I hadn't thought of this method of subtractive composition but it does sound more effective than sampling bits of songs and arranging them which is what I originally had in mind.

Thanks!

>How long does does it usually take for you to finish a project?
The basic set up is about 9/10 hours, then I mix it, add details and variations and finish the composition over the next couple of weeks at ease.

> It sounds like a huge time commitment going through so many records but I guess that's the nature of the genre.
Digging through records is really awesome. It's absolutely incredible how much good and interesting music there is that nobody listens to.
And I've gotten really fast at finding the right samples, you don't have to listen to the complete album, you can skip through the songs if you don't have time. You can also look at the waveforms, less busy parts are often where individual instruments are playing.

>I hadn't thought of this method of subtractive composition but it does sound more effective than sampling bits of songs and arranging them which is what I originally had in mind.
It's both of those things. Sampling bits and arranging is definitely key for me.

Thanks for showing interest! It's the most fun shit ever dude. Feels great when you find a unique sample and manage to make it sound right in a new context. Music is your instrument.

Hi Dudes

Before going into isolation I bought a Korg Monologue and a TR-08 from a pawn store. I've been noodling around with them a bit for the past couple days and I tried to set them up with Ableton today just using the USB midi interfaces, but holy fuck I can't figure this out.

What is the best way to slap together a song with these two piece of equipment? Do I need to purchase some sort of interface between the computer? If so what is something not too expensive I can purchase to do this?

how do i make pc music

Any tips on programming black metal drums today? Surely one of deals in programming super fast complex and brutal drum patterns.

what vst are you using

I've wanted one of these since i saw it in stores years ago. finally pulled the trigger and used some of my quarantine money.

Now tell me why i shouldnt have bought it since i already have a microkorg.

DnB track. Is it too much of a mess?

The idea is to keep kind of building, never really getting anywhere, and that being the vibe. Hence the title.

I'm on linux, I program basic drum patterns in hydrogen and refine them by manually replacing and re-placing (lol) samples in Ardour. Why would I use any vst?

Man I hate the music I make, it just sounds so boring and isnt at all what I want to make.

You asked.

Hi /prod/, I'm new to music production, well I tried FL like 15 years ago (what the fuck). Anyways, I'll check out the pastebin. I just want to learn to convert the music in my head to actual chords. What kind of chords should I look into for oldskool 90s jungle? Uh yeah please don't mind the mixing (or the lack of) and shit, this is my first try at it.

Due to this Covid19 shit we can't rehearse with the band right now (I am the drummer). So now for new songs the guitarist writes them as files in powertab or guitarPro which i can export to midi. I am using Reaper and now just want to get some realistic distorted guitar sound over that imported midi file. All I get with stock plugins is some weird synth sound, if I google "free e guitar VSTi" I don't get it to work since I don't really know what I should look for. So please user help me out to just get that midi sound to some proper e guitar sound so I can record drums to it, I am just to stupid to figure out how to do so. Thanks!
