Long story short I was in a car accident last week Tuesday. My hand broke and me and the girlfriend had some decent bruising from the seat belts and impact. I’ve been in a funk the past three day and haven’t produced much of anything. I even tried Downtempo, making some melodies earlier this morning. I can’t literally focus much on anything. I tried Happy Hardcore this morning and I could not finish a melody. Any tips or help on this?

Any tips on how to properly mix a saw bass? Whenever I use one, it kinda overpowers the whole track. Thanks in advance.

I was listening to a track specifically Chainsmokers & Zerb “addicted”, and noticed the bass on the drop sounds stereo instead of mono. I’m trying to make music in this type of genre and was wondering if I should start creating my top bass layers with stereo while keeping the subby bottom layer in mono or make both stereo like how it sounds in the track. Anyone have any experience with this?

At minute 3.25 there’s small synth/pluck that plays for a few notes in the background. I’ve heard it in a few different tracks. Wondering if it’s a specific sample or how I can recreate it. Thanks!

like title says. Sounds similar to folamour and others

My mix sounds great on my headphones but after I export and listen on anything else the mix is drowning in bass. Why am I not hearing this in my headphones?

Hi guys, I've been trying to train my ear to recreate sounds from ear and i'm having a bit of trouble with this one

So far all I got is a Saw wave, flange filter, and hard curve saturation

thank you

Thanks!

Recently had a track approved for release but wanted to change the audio, i must have missclicked when requesting a takedown so it was denied due to metadata changed not needing a takedown, it is scheduled to release tomorrow and it is just sitting there with takedown rejected, Is it going to release? also i submitted a ticket about a week ago which is yet to get a response. I created another release for the same song to release a week later which i did about 2-3 weeks ago and i still haven't received any information about my artist accounts, (this is my first Spotify release), is this a common experience, im thinking of swapping to distrokid but i got charged yearly about a month ago so swapping now feels wrong. Would love some help or to know if this is a common occurence.

Do you guys think that an aspiring artist should stay clear from posting political content on Instagram? Asking for myself because im tempted to share my opinion but also don’t want anyone to become uninterested in my content or unfollow me. I see a lot of female artists posting their political opinions and it somewhat rubs me the wrong way but mostly because I don’t agree with them. Thoughts on the subject?

Hey everyone! How does one go about uploading a mix to Apple Music? It doesn’t seem like this is something that can be done by DistroKid. I have all the tracks split and labeled but can’t seem to find a service to self-distribute from and there are no articles out there that really explain how.

I have been trying to replicate dubstep from the london scene, from artists such as Burial, Skream and Mala, but i didn´t find any tutorials for that online. It says dubstep is simply ´´a 140 bpm half time beat with sub basses´´, but that´s what makes real dubstep? How can i make it?

Hey there boys! I'm looking to buy good mid level studio headphones!! I've searched on reddit for previous topics but couldn't find much on closed ear studio headphones unfortunately.

I'm hoping I can find something that will translate accurately with my monitors. I'm currently using the ath-m50x and I find it's more catered to djing and listening for me! I would prefer something one with good low end/bass if that exists out there. Hoping to hear some cool input from you guys! Thanks

As the subject says I'm trying to get my pianos like the ones in house music - a good examle is Light by Kisch.

I have tried the M1, various piano VSTs and others and while I can get the sound of the notes right I can't get that weighty feeling that makes them stand out even with a bass note an octave lower. If I can get the bass via EQ I lose the sharpness and clarity even when I have nothing else playing.

What's the secret? All the google advice is the same and in my experience doesn't work so I'm fairly certain it's more me not connecting the dots than it being that difficult.

Apologies if i used the wrong wording (i have no idea what the right wording for this is lol) but this is an issue i've been facing for a really long time.

Everytime I sit down to make music, I end up recreating melodies from an already existing track. Just a few days ago I was messing with progressive house when I made a melody I thought was a banger but it turned out to be a Matisse and Sadko track.

I picked up my guitar and started strumming and somehow managed to strum the intro to thousand miles by The Kid Laroi.

I've tried a lot of things, like exapnding the genres i listen to from just EDM to over 30 genres (I like those though) but this never works for me. I end up recreating even those tracks lmao.

Any advice?

I never use it, but just wondering if anyone here does and how much do you use it?

I'm trying to recreate this bass sound from Stone Cold. - The Caracal Project that starts 5 seconds in.

It seems like it should be easy given how simple the sound is, but I just can't seem to get it right. Looking at the waveforms for the right and left channel they appear to be subtly different, which makes sense as that's probably how it's achieving such a clean/wide sound. Both channels look like they start as a squared-out sine wave (probably just a touch of soft clip waveshaping?) and then the two diverge and introduce some additional harmonic content, but each is totally different.

I'm thinking this is just two hard-panned oscillators, each with a bit of FM and some waveshaping.

When I try that I seem to be landing with either too many harmonics, or not enough. Also not sure what synth allows for two totally independent oscillators that can be hard-panned, where both could be treated with FM independently.

So like... is this two separate hard-panned synths?

Just feels like I'm massively overcomplicating things.

Help?

Looking up bass traps on this sub and most posts are pretty old, and to top it off some are saying a lot of the bass traps being sold are snake oil. Not to mention a lot of people say foam and paneling doesn’t do much, a room built for a specific purpose for sound absorption is the only “true way” to absorb sound and not cheap paneling.

I have a problem corner which also has windows and the windows rattle like a mf particularly with a F0 note and it screws up what I’m focusing on. I dont know what I would do for the window but would a bass trap help?

Only real treatment I have is a rug in my room and that’s it.

I've just realised I haven't eaten today and it's nearly midnight. I was going to have dinner about 6 and then got into a flow and didn't want to stop.

Anyone else have this problem? I think keeping a few protein snacks on hand might be the answer.

Hey everyone!

So as the title states I just saw Benda at lost lands and was wondering how he creates his basses ive been trying to replicate them but I cannot seem to grasp the post processing.

if anyone has tips or tricks to help with this that would be amazing

reference track - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5DF8qI-jQDc

Why would my interface send this noise when connecting my td3 into it. The more volumen the more noise:( What could possible fix this issue? Has anyone experience this?

We have the full stems from the engineer and can provide them if someone is interested. When it's submitted to streaming, you would be included in the songwriting credits so you can get royalties.

Thank you!

I've signed a couple of tracks through labels and their asking me about my IPI/CAE number, as well as my ID/CPF number.

From my understanding, these are unique numbers in order to pin point me as an artist when releasing my music, but I have no clue on how to actually obtain these numbers.

I’m currently learning music production and would like to continue doing so and build a career out of it. Most professional producers I see nowadays use social media for marketing/engagements however I’m not really a huge fan is social media because of how hateful it has become. Now matter how much I try to tune the algorithm to show me things about music, the algorithms always revert back to showing all kinds of hateful things. I just want to make music and not deal with all these things which keep ruining my mental health. Is it possible to avoid social media and be a decently successful music producer away from the public eye? Let me know if anyone has any suggestions on how I can navigate this issue. Thanks in advance!!

https://youtu.be/SEuOoMprDqg?si=ffvLM_Qk4Oaxp4j9 specifically the first two minutes of this tune, using Abe 12.. the tune is called Xanadu, by Rush.

I'm searching for a woman voice text to speech for a happy hardcore song (the lyrics talk about an AI girlfriend). It doesn't have to be a singer, it can be talking and i'll make it sing using pitch correction. Vocaloid was a possibility but it's too expensive, is there any freeware alternative out there? I don't care if the voice sounds robotic or unrealistic because that's kinda the point. Thank you
