Not good enough? Never gonna make it? Just learn to code!

i am making sound
>I've never seen them containing any tipe of automation like pitchbend and whatnot.
Literally the first MIDI file I looked at
Well now I've seen it
is it worth getting an sp404?
been watching videos of people doing live performances with them and i want one
I'm still new to DnB but people like goreshit make me want to fucking quit music
It's so much, and it's so good, like FUCK
99% of goreshit's tracks are other songs that he speeds up and upon which adds breakbeats that are just drum loops from old jazz records that everybody knows about.
I'm super excited about this one.

Thoughts on this? It's my first time chopping vocal samples and I'm worried I'm doing something amateurish.
workflow, for you? maybe idk
It has effects associated with "that" lo-fi hip-hop sound and the Dilla/Madlib shit.
Goodhertz makes an emulation of the compressor which is kind of cool.
Idk how "unique" the others are honestly but imo if you're an old school hip-hop guy that doesn't do stuff that's too intricate it definitely seems worth trying.
I'm still rock hard for J Dilla too despite contrarians saying the same thing.
idk man I'M IMPRESSED
Being an efficient/fast sampler like that is a distinct skill
Anything that can be represented as a MIDI control change (and a good few other message types too, like tempo) can be encapsulated in a MIDI file.
It's useful to separate these from DAW-specific automation like fader moves etc when thinking about them, even when DAWs display the two in the same place in their interfaces, like we see in Ableton.
In short, MIDI CCs have a more universal scope because they're platform-agnostic and don't need a DAW in order to translate them to parameter changes, and the new MIDI 2.0 spec will expand that further.
I've been debating buying one of these fuckers for like 5 months and i'm just about to pull the trigger simply because i'm getting tired of my autism of checking secondhand sites for good offers every single day.
I literally don't get the appeal of these things.
why do you want it

MPC Live master-race here. You should get something that can actually create entire tracks, not something that just creates little four-track loops. They're a good conversation piece, but I think the OP-1 is severely overpriced for what it is.
that's okay, when i first saw it i didn't give a shit either the moment i found out >no velocity sensitivity
but as someone who's been playing instruments before starting production and often feeling creatively bankrupt staring at my DAW it feels like a good tool for creativity. also it has some pretty cool and unique effects, specifically cow and telephone
i wouldn't use the OP-1 exclusively. at the end of the day i'd export the tracks into Live to further treat them. it just seems like a good composition and idea tool
What was the last Yas Forums purchase you made? I picked up "Fundamentals of Musical Composition" by Arnold Schoenberg because I suck chode at writing melodies and want to improve. You do invest in your passions, right /prod/?
no
I think the last thing I bought personally was Serum instead of using an old cracked version. But I got a DJ controller for Christmas, so there's that too.
Anyone here have the Superlux HD-681?
I heard these cans sound miraculously good and are super good mixing headphones for being only like 30 bucks. Really difficult for me to believe that 30$ headphones would be any good though.
Usually where am I supposed to put a multiband compressor, in a bus or in an individual channel rack? I have 2 melodies, and I'm trying to take the low mids of one, but they both go to a bus.
i make drum and bass so i dont know if it'd be too useful for me. think itd be cool to chop up breaks with it tho
>take the low mids of one
Just use an EQ, nibba
>You do invest in your passions, right /prod/?
I make it a personal mission to spend as little money as possible in everything I make it. All of my instruments and gear are gifted or inherited, and every program I use is either the trial version or open source. Even though I have the disposable income, I don't like the thought of music making being locked behind a paywall.
I know it's stupid and counterintuitive and prideful, but i just feel averse to the idea in a way I can't explain. The best way I can put is that to me, paying to make music would be like paying to pray.
Clapping your hands and singing cost nothing. The people who make the programs/instruments put their time and energy into it. you're not paying to make music, you're paying for them to make the instruments for you. How fucking autistic are you?
>gifted or inherited
>I don't like the thought of music making being locked behind a paywall.
Does anybody really need to point out for you that this is some kind of "privilege" of being surrounded by people who can afford that stuff?
Ignoring that I can't afford it, I also refuse to be excessive with software- i've spent $200~ and that's it.
... okay Ableton and Serum were pirated but still
>He doesn't pay to pray
I bet Father McElroy is pissed that you won't pay tithes.
>like Bitwig look
>learn to do some things
>spend week recording VSTs
>time to put some drums
>where is the volume waveform of the VST track?
>can't find a way to zoom vertically
>try to sync drums by ear
>playback a million times
>it doesn't playback from where I want the drums
>it has to playback from the beginning of the track to hear sound
Is it true that you can't zoom vertically on Bitwig?
What were they thinking?
What do I do now? Any suggestions to change DAW maybe with the less pain?
Would someone be nice enough to tell me how my mix/EQ is so far?

I'm pretty autistic if it wasn't obvious.
Like I said, I know its stupid and doesn't make any sense when you think about it critically. Maybe it's just a holdover from when I was younger and didn't have the money to spend.
