Read The Inner Game of Tennis

>>129540298
I will if you tell me why

>>129540318
The book teaches you how to get into a flow state while preforming. As in, you already know how to play the part, but there are self imposed blockages that are getting in the way. The book taught me how to get good takes when I go to the studio and while I'm preforming on stage. Yes, it's based on tennis, but everything can be used in music performance

a demo ive put some effort into as a way to direct a potential EP release this year. the one thing i struggle with is the frequency masking that happens, particularly with the hard panned L and R guitars at the end when they are distorted and im not sure how to approach it. any ideas? when i fuck with the eq on the individual tracks, they end up sounding either too boxy or too harsh.
also im not a singer, its something im working on. for some reason it sounds like i have a blocked nose when i sing.

>>129538821
Terrible OP. Stop making these if you aren’t going to do it right

>>129541792
i used to make the best OPs but then i stopped abusing substances and somewhat left my pit of despair and stopped posting for a good 8 months or so. ill return but i have a much more healthy relationship with myself now.

everyone always memes about using reverb returns and advises against inserts on the track itself but i have had more positive results using reverb as inserts than returns. where is the middle ground?

OP, that is one of the funniest gifs ive ever seen

be honest with me. my friends think i should release this but some part of me is saying dont. Ive EQed it every which way and IDK i genuinely cant figure out whether its done or not.

>>129543833
IMHO what you have is undeniably strong enough as is. Maybe sit on it for a bit that way you have better perspective on what improvements are necessary or not. I think the snare could possibly be louder but at a certain point you get diminishing returns from being too scrupulous.

>>129543883
Thank u bro i appreciate it. I initially mixed it on 7506s which was a horrible mistake and ive been trying to salvage it on my monitors since then. My thinking was to make it super dense so theres a ton of detail to pick through but because of that its also an nightmare to mix.

>>129544020
I know what you mean, I don't even have a monitoring setup right now so I end up doing everything on headphones for better or worse. The density definitely works, it's very lush which I personally love. Have you tried car/phone/laptop speakers as a reference point? Are you familiar with the fletcher-munson curve?

It's a shame, cause even just 3 years back it was noticeably better than today. Obviously no general is perfect on this hellhole, but it actually had a few knowledgable and helpful anons, and responses to vocaroo's were generally a little better (not by much, but enough to notice a difference compared to now). Genuinely seems like there is now only a handful of regular posters here and they are all either midwits, trolls or bitter and jaded anons that have nowhere else to go. God knows what genuine oldfags to these generals think now. I imagine they are mostly (if not all) gone, anyway.

>>129544898
I'm a complete newfag who gets all his knowledge from the Spectre Sound Studios Discord, so I can definitely recommend that. It's originally a metal 'cord but there are all types of producers there with legit know how, from electronic to hip hop to jazz. I only come here for the lolz.

>>129544819
idk its still kinda stuck in my head and whatever vocalist anon sampled has a nice voice isnt that what really matters

>>129543833
Gave it a listen on monitors and headphones. Feels like the bass needs more work. Not sure if it's limiter or sound design stuff, but it feels like it fluctuates a lot - lacks punch it's going for to drive the track and sometimes becomes a bit overbearing in places. Subjectively, those lyrics are fucking terrible and the track seems incomplete. Is it just an intro? It just comes across as one big build up that plateuas early and goes nowhere. I don't know if the percussion being minimal and surrounded by the other elements is intentional or not. All the other melodic parts are nicely done, though, I like the backing vocal flourishes, pads are nice and the sound design/choice there overall seems good.

>>129544964

>>129544819
>sidechain compression
somewhat, just not sure what i should be sidechaining. desu i think the tone of my guitar is not so great either. i tihnk it needs new pickups

>>129545466
well it sounds good. i wasnt really trying to listen uber critically which is maybe what you wanted but i just try to hear stuff how id normally listen to music. it has draw imo. make it better if you feel the need to.

>>129545507
thanks, i appreciate the feedback all the same. probably better to listen to it as a consumer rather than a producer since thats how it'll mostly be presented anyway.

>>129545545
i agree i think you should always evaluate music this way unless youre tryna glean specific things from something as a case study. its really difficult to separate the two with your own work and i think that can be a big part of the skill. an entry point to that in my experience is just vibing with your own music, fully inhabiting whatever world you're trying to build. i feel like i can hear that in your stuff it feels real its immersive.

>>129541712
mix in mono if you're not already.
>they end up sounding either too boxy or too harsh
ime that's a sign that the tone or arrangement was fucked, but if the parts that stuck out to me are what you're talking about i'd guess you should try wider eq slopes and or adjusting volume. if you're not on pro-q i highly recommend it for identifying masking on easy mode.

the distorted parts of this track sound quite good imo. the clean parts earlier on are poking out in a pretty awkward way though. cool stuff anon.

take out the guitar at 03:45 and change the vocals so they don't repeat as much. Good but gets tedious
>>129543833
Whatever comes in at 00:47 and 01:35 is too high pitched. Is this an intro? Sounds fine but it doesn't go anywhere

>>129543833
release it as what? nothing happens. it isn't a song or a track. i don't want to come across as a cunt but no one will care about that. it's a synth, a drum loop, bass note and some barely hearable lyrics with nothing interesting happening.

I developed really bad tinnitus over the last few months and I was convinced it was my new studio monitors that did it, and I had irreversibly fucked my ears up somehow. Turns out I had shitloads of compacted earwax and getting it professionaly removed has pretty much cured it. Now I am free to give myself tinnitus more steadily over many years as god intended.

They practicing is sitll good, you dont need to prodoooce everyday. Sometimes you need to learn pentatonics and familiarize yourself with sounds and chords you like so then you can use on command. Keep a notebook or a white board with notes though or at least on somewhere you need to have notes about progressions you like, so you can make harmony with it.

I would prefer to produce everyday but yeah it doesnt NEED to be done. I did make a 4 bar loop on my live 3 this morning so I'll take that. Tomorrow I'm going to be digging into the MPC Bible again. Live 3 is a really fun tool, definitely keeping it paired with the 404. Honestly the live 3 pissed me off when I found out I couldnt take multiple audio sources in at once. With the 404, USB-C and 1/4 in inputs can be recorded at the same time, live 3 can only do 1 source at a time. That one feature alone makes the 404 worth keeping in my arsenal. Equipment wise im definitely good. I think a small midi for mobile work with the live 3 is all I "need" but no rush as well.

Did I just miss the Scaler 3 upgrade sale on Plugin Boutique? I could have sworn it was on sale until the 28th at least... Oh well. Guess I'll wait for Black Friday.

it is not worthy getting a review. that is my last post

work on the wiki of this general, and then come back in a week
, share your information and write a proper "this is /prod/" and here we stand and we are here not there type thing.

you dont have common ground. that is why it is extremly easy for anyone to come here and destroy you.


if i do what has to be done it will be illegal. because in the real world it can happen, and it happens instantly. but online it is quite the attempt of doing a cyberbully.

find a partner in the real world that can do that. the bum on the gas station can give you better feedback than anyone here, because you can look at him while he listens.

and what i do, and what everyone does will last for 2-3 days. then the effect is fading out anyway.

it will be good in a few days again. if you stop letting it slide that people engage in cyberbullying ITT.

it is not good for you. and i wont come here anymore.
you need a mentor, not some literal who telling you something on the web.
find a mentor, someone that says "you are worthy of my time"

good bye /prod/, enjoy your general, in 2-3 days you wont even remember it anymore anyway.

>do not cyberbully each other EVER and call it out when it happens.

I've just been getting into production using Ableton and thought I had unbelievably bad rhythm.

Turns out I just had shit audio drivers and my inputs were like 500ms delayed and it was basically impossible to play anything other than vague ambient throbbing sounds

you/me just reveals the faggot-dialetic here not a personal viewpoint i hate cities :)

you really thought this is all about cyberbullying?
no. this is about 1984.
it happened long ago.
that is why you either start denying everyone around you and literally going back to the texts and translate them for yourself, or you stop talking about things that you have no clue about.
like how to rule a city, that is politics.

so now once again i simply say:
Spread love, not hatred.

AND SORRY FOR NOT BEING DAVINCI I AM THE PSEUD I AGREE.

and look up the word synthesis! what is it all about!
you are all capable of syn thesis. you are humans (not so sure about that anymore though)

so when you call me a liar, a pseud, i am not that, i am synthesizer :)
you are an analyzer :(
absolute pure cringe is how you express the world, can only be done with schizzobabble.
and i hope you figure it out, de-signing.
signed your loving synthesizer

and i will keep silent now, i will Keep My Secrets.

and suicide is the easiest thing to do in the world because dying is really easy. it happens naturally, give better advice.
when someone gives bad advice, tell them it was bad.
ad-vice. you would gain so much from learning to origin of the words.

just like you learn the "root note" of a song.

davinci found out something about the world every day.

emulate the goats, not another anon.

input!=feedback!=review!=analysis!=understanding
all different words. not all the same.
so just use very good words and avoid the inaccurate ones.

WIP track, haven't started on the mix yet. Still working on a proper start to the track as well.

All thoughts welcomed.

How the hell do you sustain the belief that anything you're doing is contributing anything worth doing in a world that's already so oversaturated with music, pop culture, etc.?

Thoughts on AI generated album covers?

Hi ! anybody would like to collab and make something ?

ambient , ambient dub, my main goal is to make something you can loop and repeat.
dark or hopeful, I don't mind. I like weird sound sources too, like half life 2 sounds for exemple


my strenghts are ideas, rhythm, coherent call and responses, overall anything to do with the session view. My weaknesses are sound design and arrangement.


namedropping some inspirations : Huerco S , Ulla Straus, Purelink, Vladislav Delay, Boards of Canada, 2814, Brave Little Abacus, Akira Yamaoka, Les Rallizes Dénudés, J Dilla, Ultrafog, Kath Bloom, Stars of the Lid, Deepchord Echospace, Picnic, Spaceghostpurrp, Skee Mask, Susumu Yokota


I never released anything besides DJ mixes and features (too overthink, throwing my works), currently working on a small EP

my discord : vsunbeams

>>129566105

is there any point trying to "formally" learn anything about production? mostly thinking music theory, but maybe also general best-practices, techniques, mixing/mastering and whatever else
most of my current knowledge is just bits and pieces i've picked up, results of experimenting and/or just what sounds pleasant to my ears
been at it for ~5y now and i don't think it's turned out too bad, but at the same time i feel like there's always room for improvement
that said i wouldn't even really know any good places to start, so if any anons have tips or advice then please do share

>>129575080
no

>>129575085
depends what you mean by “formal.”

if you just mean “actually attempt know what you’re talking about” then yes you should absolutely do that.
you wanna know what you’re doing or you wanna just guess until you get it right?

Are there any tutorials on making slushwave that aren't outdated?

>>129572484
>The keys are already weighted so I'm not sure they can get better than that.
Nah, there is definitely a difference between high and low quality weighted keys, but it sounds like what you have doesn't bother you, so that should be fine...
Shit. I was going to tell you to look into MIDI Sound Modules, but it looks like the CDP-S360 doesn't have MIDI Out.
If you can, it might be best to just go to a music store and try out a bunch of different stage pianos and see what you like. The Roland should be good though.

>>129576431
Just out of curiosity what other ones where you going to suggest?

>>129576468
Like some example sound modules? Roland Sound Canvas series if you want a wide range of general midi sounds; KORG MS2000R if you want synth sounds (you could almost think of this as a MicroKorg Rack unit); Roland Integra series if you have money. All those things require that you already have a MIDI keyboard with MIDI out to control them.
I don't have stage pianos, but I do have a Kawai CA65 digital piano that I love and I will someday get a new Kawai CA so I can have one in every room of my house.
