/prod/ - music production general

Theoretical question for /prod/. What makes a reverb-saturated guitar sound like dream-pop and not like church music?

Basically make it sound like shoegaze and then lessen the effects until it's dreampop. It's coming in from the clean direction that makes it sound like faithrock.

>It's coming in from the clean direction that makes it sound like faithrock.
very good point

youtube.com/watch?v=SPc-oWXEhQQ

Are the synths (and some times drums) programmed in polyrhythms or it's all manually made to sound "random"?
And how does one make it sound so good?
When I try to make these things myself it sounds like a 5yo clicked around in my piano roll and ruined my midi.

disableton and cubass suck equally
first for pro tools

probably used a randomizer

So they're not polyrhytms?
I can't really tell.

Not him, but it almost sounds to me like the pulse on the synth starts at a slightly slower tempo and slightly slows down and then resets to be nearly on beat every other measure or so.
It's like the main beat is pushing along while the synth is trying to pull it back -- I like that feeling too.

I don't mean how to make the song sound good.
I mean how to get the "randomness" aspect right.

Yeah, that could be it.
I'm afraid my ear isn't trained eough so I can't tell if it's this either, but it's a cool idea that's worth exploring nonetheless, thank you.

but fl studio sucks, doesnt it?

Attached: kpoop.jpg (1000x1499, 593K)

It's definitely a polyrhythm:
do a bop to the initial synth sound, then notice how the beat comes in at a totally different pulse.

With these things always keep it simple.

What kind of polyrhythm?

>With these things always keep it simple.
What do you mean?
Could you elaborate please?

khaled isnt a producer.
bad post image. its unrelated.

No idea what's it called.

By simple, I mean don't pile your tracks with several different rhythms. Usually two is enough.

Ah I see, I'll keep that in mind thank you.

It's just bad flying lotus imitation manually placed tuned layered drums - 808 bd lowpassed/acoustic BD band passed/tape hiss hipassed and snare with the clap offset by a few samples ahead or behind, all heavily processed and each sound with its frequency space carved out.

The synth is just a filter modulation plugin like The Drop with stereo effects set to an eight note division of when the pan and filter sweep occurs on the left/right speaker and a negative ms offset to make it sound wonky.

Wonky beats are dated as hell and his production is sub-par, a johnny come lately ripoff mix of J Dilla and Rustie, stuff from 2008-2011. Tweens only listen to him because he has an undending arsenal of generic millennial whoop female singers singing about FOMO shit

Could you link some better versions of this kind of "random-sounding" polyrhythmic stuff?

I'm pretty sure you can take any musician and shit on them in some way or another... pretty funny.

how do i learn to write sheet music

You do realize it's just an LFO stereo filter that's triggered by midi and it's either free running LFO modulators creating the varying rhythms or he's retriggering it a 16th note ahead and then maybe a 8th note or the third of a triplet, it's slapdash and not really polyrhythmic with intent it's just someone mashing a preset maybe a tweaked a bit at most.

By learning how to read it? What part are you hung up on?

People listen to you- I mean Flume for the same reason people take Xanax because it sounds teenagey like cody or tyler or stacey when in reality all they really do is send you to sleep

But it's not steady with the rhythm, so what's that difference between that main rhythm and that of the synths?

I AM VERY SATISFIED WITH MY NEW SNIPPET AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I like to laugh at cunts posing in their studio with large consoles as if they still granted you anything apart from an abstract feeling of respectability

I get where you're coming from but no need for the negativity chap I'm sure u would get certain gear if u had the extra money

Do an experiment in your DAW.
Set up two measures in 4/4 to loop. Have one kit play a straight beat and have another just play equal notes in, let's say, 13 equal subdivisions.
Can someone set this up? I would love to hear it but I don't have a DAW.

I don't know how to translate whatever's on my head into the music sheet

Tried ableton and immmediately uninstalled it. Fuck that program. I don't get why anyone would use it over cubase or logic.

>pro tools
lol, nice bait.

>I don't get why anyone would use it over cubase or logic.
Because they're smart enough to understand it.

Start with transcribing the melody. Can you do that? Can you at least sing what you hear?

The main rhythm is running a J Dilla track through a gate+SPL transient designer/lowpass filter - resample to audio, convert to midi for kicks, rinse and repeat with bandpass around 200-300hz for snares. Delete all the midi glitches and clean it up a bit and you've got the groove of j dilla or madlib or flyo hitting the pads in like 2 minutes for your kick and snare.

The synth is a reverse envelope polarity ran through a stereo filter effect with LFO modulators changing the rate of sweep via something like M4L's LFO, using a filter like Cytomic's The Drop, it alternates in the left and right ear, sounds like a tweaked preset. It could just be an analog lab preset and some cookie cutter music school automation to 'add interest'. It's not 'polyrhythms' if someone assigns velocity to decay time and reverses the env depth polarity and just draws in a bunch of different velocities between 1 and 127 on each hit it's just random and its not a good sound.

that pic you posted is degenerate

this should be the next op

Any major DAW would be good.
Ableton and FL Studio are two of the most popular and are pretty easy to pirate.

Here's FL: (get it quick if you want it because it's gonna get removed soon)
And here's Ableton: You're not stupid for not understanding how DAWs work.
You just lack the needed information.
Just watch basic youtube tutorials to get the hang of them (search something like "fl studio 20 complete tutorial") and then learn the other stuff gradually.

If you want to produce music entirely "in the box", you'll need to learn a few different skills, and the fastest way I know is to read this book that goes over the foundations of those skills so you're not clueless about how things work:
www115.zippyshare.com/v/G7nuq1wh/file.html

Mix at low volumes in your DAW. The lower your levels in general more things will stand out in the mix.

youtube.com/watch?v=SqayDnQ2wmw

At 3:23. The pads are obviously choked very heavily in the upper mids. BUT then the bass comes in and it doesn't sound like it's JUST in the bass register 250hz. It also has alot of definition even tho it sounds like it has a lowpass filter. I can't tell if i'm hearing highs in the bass or not. How would you go about replicating that? How would I get that definition in the highs WITH a low pass. Would you just not use the synths filter and just EQ all the mids out wiht a notch/band? I feel like thats the only way seeing as the filter would cut out all the highs.

(or am I even hearing highs in the bass? Is all that definition coming from the percussion maybe?)

sounds like a korg bass with saturation applied. What's your question?

I think there's some sort of transient shaper on it. I'm wondering how to get such sharp attack and clear definition on the transient with a low pass filter. Seeing as the low pass filter, cuts out all the highs.

I don't see why it shouldn't be, give it a go and post up.

>will pentatonic stuff appeal to normies?

uhhhh

So I'm dealing with something weird. I've been working on a track, bounced it, and was pretty damn happy with how it turned out. No errors or issues or whatever. Today though, I opened it in my DAW, and now I'm seeing red light indicators on my mixing board saying I'm clipping. I'm certainly not hearing anything, and I opened the file up in Audacity to get a second opinion, and it says I still have a little room above my head before I peak.

I know I slapped a limiter plugin on a few of my instruments before bouncing. Could there be something weird going on there?

I'll say this once, and only once.

SAMPLE VOLUME > TRACK FADER
Thats the chain order, bring down the volume of the samples first the less you touch your fader knobs the less problems you'll run into.

Your welcome, anyone who's mastering your stuff will love you, and if you're doing it yourself you will give yourself a handjob.

also one more thing: Take an eq on every single instrument and sample. And give it a tiny tiny tiny little low pass and a tiny tiny tiny tiny little high pass (So tiny that the human ear can't tell basically any frequency where there's no musical content). Those will increase headroom as well and clean everything up.

Typically what I do when I record a track is lower the instruments down as a first step, something like -6dB. Then I write and mix from there. I'm just confused right now because one DAW is saying I'm clipping while another is saying I'm not.

High passing everything can be a godsend but if you're too aggressive with it you'll just make everything sound tinny and thin

any way you could post the wav?

a great track stands the test of time. youtu.be/5aDWDt-xrbs

That's why you do it to strictly non musical frequencies. A cunt hair of high pass, so that when you turn the EQ on and off you can't even tell. The more you do it, the better you get at finding that threshhold (helps to have really good speakers and not hswhatevers or rokits)

god damn the past few threads have been especially shit

are you super new or have a limited experience with synths? just use an envelope to make the low pass "close up" with decay and no or little sustain.

it's nothing special, that sound just happens when people are precise with their envelopes- not all synths/filters are the same for this, there tends to be a sweet spot.

most likely no transient shaper, just a very snappy (not shit) envelope. compression might bring it out more, but not make the sound.

just because the end of the chain isn't peaking doesn't mean you didn't fuck up the gain in the middle

also intersample peaking

jfc nobody should be paying anybody to master who doesn't already know this, that's literally pissing money away

the hp/lp advice is genre dependent. telling this to a lo-fi indie head would be telling him to shoot himself in the foot man, this catch all advice is not always helpful

>spotify link
fugg
make your own 808s is the real answer

>pretty hate machine
the only distinct processing iirc was that the majority of the samples on that album would have been ran through his whatever emu sampler at some point. this really can't be repeated enough: The NIN sound isn't gear, it's a production mindset. Reznor's used every piece of gear you can name, but there's a reason he always sounds the same..... except the turbo synth guitars, that was *the* guitar sound apparently

>not namefagging
guys, this isn't samuel

please stop trolling

>non musical frequencies

low end below a fundamental, fizz and click of the attack etc- you might be able to discern this but telling noobs who can't is hurtful

Nothing sticks out as a major issue to me, kick was a bit overpowering on the headphones but sounded fine on desktop.

>kick sounded fine on desktop.
wtf

sammy don't give mix advice to anybody

I know there are some pretty high peaks in there, but nothing's hitting the ceiling. I'm wondering though if it's this limiter I stuck on a few in the instruments hitting those highs that might be the problem. Maybe there are frequencies or something that hitting a brick wall and my other DAW is reading it as a clip.

I know there was no clipping when I initially bounced the track, but I went and leveled the volume up afterward, because as I mentioned before I lowered the volume from the writing stage.

>those might be """aesthetic""" frequencies
>low end below a fundamental, fizz and click of the attack etc- you might be able to discern this but telling noobs who can't is hurtful

From what i've listened to in this thread, no one can sit there and pull apart what makes a good and bad transient. It's sound advice for people who want more headroom. Not everyone here wants to make autechres music.

>jfc nobody should be paying anybody to master who doesn't already know this, that's literally pissing money away

this isn't an idm thing or anything with extreme fuckery dude, this applies to the little indie guy who thinks he should highpass his acoustic guitars at 80hz and then wonders why nothing sounds "warm" or "full."

i don't see how the mastering thing is pretentious, i can see why you'd call me that for dissenting about highpassing but if you don't know what headroom is and send clipped shit there's no mastering engineer in the world who is going to fix that.

30hz is like the lowest that most club speakers will go. Even 40hz could be your min. There's a reason a lot of music is tuned to that nice E1 sub

literally not hurt, i'm just excited to hear your music you seem knowledgeable man! Would like to hear all this knowledge put into action :) So are you going to post it? or, why not?

I'm trying to visualize like a "Wind island" in a game, since I like vidya music and came up with these, which one do you like better, it changes up a bit around 1:10

why no post music? :(

these are really nice user, i prefer the second though

not everybody here is insecure enough to be taunted into a pointless argument by every dickhead that tries to start one dude, get a life

that 808 is most likely from a zaytoven kit.

im trash, still learning not worthwhile its nothing special.
Is all knowing. And his music is probably totally not average, seeing how he carries himself.

I use maschine, fight me

remastered it. still pretty quiet in parts, but I think that makes it dreamy.

FINE, here's a little melody I've been working on all day.

I cutoff 30 hz no matter the track. It's just eats up too much headroom for me to justify keeping it in the mix.

Anyone have a download link to this? I've been trying to find one but all the links I come across are dead or really old versions.

No, I wish I had one though.

PHM is mostly a Prophet VS and Oberheim Xpander sampled into an emax and down pitched. Drums are sampled from bunch of drum machines of that time, sp12, tr808, r100 to name a few

i didn't do shit today except put sampler presets together almost 100

well good because that was the end of the post

Should I just quickly and sloppily record all my songs so I don't have to keep worrying about trying to make them sound like they do in my head?

i'd say 50/50 as to whether it would turn out well or not- it could be good or it could be bad. mhmm

Hmm very true, a lot to consider

yeah otr that was honestly a dumb question to ask with no context

perfectionism is one thing, but just saying fuck it and recording something sammy tier isn't ever going to sound better than /bedroomcore/

sounds good but still needs to be mastered correctly

I just keep procrastinating by watching melody tutorials and never doing/learning anything. Send help lads.

what is the small diaphragm equivalent of the Rode NT2-A?

what the fuck are you talking about?

he's >implying that you don't actually care

if you wanted to do it you would actually try rather than watch videos you know aren't helping

oh nevermind, it's actually 2.6 times more expensive than the LDC i have. still, i'll start shopping for a SDC pair for me to start recording drums.

I FUCKING HATE MIXING. I FINISHED WRITING THE SONG. I JUST WANNA START ON THE NEXT ONE.

oh man didn't you know procrastination is a disease? it's just like addiction. i can't stop jerking off cause i have a disease. i'm a victim of my genes and you need to feel bad for me.

>tfw didnt buy a nice and shiny pair of MXL mics when starting out and now it's too late because im too much of a poorfag to own two LDCs when i need a pair of SDCs and a 57

idk if you or the person you're parodying is the bigger faggot tbqhwyfam. probably you

you just described the process of making an album

write/arrange everything first
then mix
then master

Why cheaper condensers are exclusively cardoid??

fuck off with your wishful positive thinking

i bet you wouldn't say that to me on an islamic goat herding forum bitch

fine then i guess you're gonna have to pay up cuckboi

could i get some thoughts on the mix? happy with the arrangement but a newbie to mixing and unsure of how it sounds

is it a good idea to try to record drums with a beta 58 copy and a cardioid LDC

not bad the only thing i got is the snare is quieter then it should be

Well I gave it a go, how the fuck do you arrange this stuff?

[spoiler]I like mixing[/spoiler] but I'm bad at writing :(

>12 bar
wait you meant with a shuffle?
i mean the melody is decent enough but why

not really but if that's what you have to work with then???

i have these. I want to buy a sm57 but that's very dumb considering my finances and i'm better buying a SDC.

It's still rough but i'm still going to back and pretty it up.

Uhh I don't know, I just wiki'd "12 bar blues" and I did one of the patterns there.
What does "shuffle" mean in this context? I set the 16th note shuffle to 62%, but I don't think that's what you're talking about.

Yeah I guess I second the snare being a touch quiet, neat sample use.

shuffle is like swing but a bit more swung i guess..basically a triplet feel

brainlets will argue this

oh wait you're sammy?
can you please go back to namefagging? I need to know which posts to ignore

>I set the 16th note shuffle to 62%
yes that's what i'm referring to
it's basically the triplet swing that default drums in blues/soul music use

obviously triplet swing is very different even in boom bap than in trap, but "shuffle" refers specifically to the beat from rock music.... so probably not appropriate.

the 8th note shuffle is the backbone of the 12 bar blues if i'm not mistaken

you are such a fucking moron.you reek of 3 year producer with 60 soundcloud plays. kys

What are you using for the horn samples?

think of all the albums you like, can you imagine that they would have watched a guy like busyworksbeats to learn how to make music.

I've been writing a song in light of recent events, the chorus goes like:

A nigga called Sammy
A fool called Sammy
Acted like a tool and barebacked a tranny
A nigga called Sammy
A fag called Sammy
Barebacked a tranny now AID's not funny

Should I go for cowboy chords or a more reggae like feel, maybe ska???

i like it, reminds me of hey arnold

just eq everything and you're golden, harsh ass frequencies in there currently.
