I have doubts about this.

Does anyone know of a decent program for remixing or producing music?

Does anyone know anything about drums, piano, guitar and instruments in general?

I'm very new to this world of music and I practically know nothing.

Does anybody know how to get that sound and make my own click act the same way? Songs like “Strawberry Swing” have a really curious rhythm in the click and I would like to recreate that. I know that they use Logic to produce in the studio but it is hard to know where is that click coming from since that they have been working with the same one at least since 2001.

It always amazes me when companies make software versions of their flagship hardware lines, such as the Universal Audio Avalon VT-737. Has anyone used the $40 plug in version of this? I have a hard time believing that for a $3000 savings that I can do the same thing with a plug in channel strip. I want to stand corrected. Any advice or feedback on this particular plug in or the general thought?

I'm looking a midi recorder that will act as a simple midi looper for windows.

For context, I perform long form live loops (sometimes 32 bars or longer). I don't use any sequencers or drum machines, I layer instruments live on a boss rc500 loop pedal. I have been developing visualizations to go along with my performances and have been driving different parameters with midi. I'd like to be recording the midi in the background so it can continue to drive the visualizer once I'm on to the next loop. Ideally I can drive the midi looper with the foot switches on the boss since I'm hitting them anyway....

Anyone have any ideas? I may just figure out how to do it with Ableton, I don't need to save anything ever so could just get by with the trial.

Hi, I am struggling to quantise a full recording I have completed, the Flex Time is always messing up the whole sound of the drum kit which I have watched multiple videos and not getting the same effect which they have produced with Flex Time. Please could someone give me advice on how to fix this or if there is anyone willing to look at my project.

Cheers

I cannot rap myself really and even if I learned too did I have an accent so it would did't really work. Could I offer someone a percent of the earnings of the song or a payment, hire out a studio and make the song ? But where would I find them ?

So i had both windows and mac, but i always used windows for recording my guitar, no problem with that, but i recently moved permanently to macOS, and whenever i try to record my song through reaper or any DAW/Amp emulator this happens:

WHEN I CHOOSE TO MONITOR THE RECORDING:
4-5 seconds of sinc, after that almost 10 seconds of a loud distortion and bitcrush, and after that, like 1,5 seconds of sound delay

When i do not monitor the audio file records in x2

it is kinda stressing, and i need some help with that, macOS users, help D:

I am going to attempt some basic track recording. I have no experience with digital recording. I just ordered an interface and headphones and have the mics. I'm looking to try a free DAW to get started. Simple is likely better for me as I am shooting blind. I did some research and found numerous recommendations. Reaper is listed in multiple sites; MusicRadar lists Bandlab as the best free DAW for total beginners. They suggest Reaper might be a bit "too much" for an absolute beginner.What I'm imagining at this point as a starting point is some rhythm backing on handdrums or slit drums and then some three string guitar over that on homemade guitars. Feel free to chime in if you know about Bandlab, the free DAW, or have other ideas that can help me choose a good free DAW to mess around with for a complete beginner to "music production" (a very generous description)

I heard Shure was a good microphone brand, but I'm not sure what model would be best.

Your input and feedback would be great!

Is anyone willing to assist in building a recording studio? Monitors, computers, laptops I have. I have plenty of room, just need to get the room laid out properly, foam and paint to color coat the recording studio(open to color scheme suggestions). All equipment and software needed we can pick out that would work well together.

Is anyone interested in starting a podcast/music studio in New Jersey? Can it work if we are in two different states? I love what Camron and Mase have built! "It Is What It Is" serious business, but also having fun at the same time. It makes their show great. TEAMWORK!!

Any helpful information would be great. DM me if you're interested. I ALREADY HAVE A GREAT NAME, IT WILL ADVERTISE ITSELF...

Hello, I am going to make a song about an apocalypse, and i am trying to bring awareness to 80s music. I am thinking about robots, but i want to know what other apocalypses were popular, as I did not live in the 80s. I want to see your suggestions, about what robots would have looked like if they were taking over the 80s. if they were a big deal, what sounds they should make, whether i should pick something else like nuclear stuff, you know?

Ive had FL studio for almost 2 years now and Ive tried learning it and how to make music countless times. Right now I am in another one of my phases of this.

I find so much advice from: Remaking songs Youtube tutorials Practice!!1!1!1!1

The songs I want to remake sound so weird and unique that I don’t even know where to start, Which youtubers? Which tutorials? Watching “How to make fire drums” for the 100th time hasn’t helped, and I don’t even know where to begin with practice.

What am I supposed to practice? Just making more drums that all sound the same and whenever I try something different it sucks or doesn’t sound how I want, or making crappy melodies, or whatever.

Its all just so confusing and I wanna be good at producing so bad but I just don’t have what other producers have.

Help?

Hi everyone, as you see in the title im new to the whole stuff and have a problem which i cant solve with my recent knowledge.

Hello friends. I had a magical visit to Sri Lanka last year and recently made a song about it (acoustic guitar/vocals). The song is about a night I met a professional musician (he was playing a show) and quite the couple days unfolded.

When I sent him the track, he wanted to get in on it (vocals/lead guitar) and also master it. The problem is I am using LUNA on windows, and he is using LOGIC PRO on a MAC. So I'm not sure what to do. I could buy a mac and buy logic, which is pricey but maybe worth the investment as I'm loving this new path of making music. But for now is there a cheaper option? Can he log into my LUNA account and record from his Mac? Will that be a pain? I don't want to complicate it too much for him as this is a pretty cool opportunity. Any info or suggestions help, thank you all.

Hi everyone! I'm very new, help me decide if I'm making the right choice. I have an SP404 mk2 and a Mackie 524 in my "home studio." I would like the sampler to play through the speakers, so I'm looking for a device for this, and if I'm not mistaken, it will be a mixer. My first question is that I have now decided in favor of analog mixers because I don't see the point of USB ones for me. I wouldn't be keen on getting a USB interface either due to the lack of ports because I plan to expand further. I would be happy if I didn't have to deal with the cables because there's also a record player in the mix and a cassette deck, and the sound from my computer would also go through the mixer to the speakers. I was looking at the Mackie 802vlz4, do you think it would be suitable for me? I'm new and an amateur, I'm all ears for any information.

Thank you all for your help!

Hey guys! So, I've been planning to buy a second-hand MIDI keyboard on Facebook Marketplace since I'm on a tight budget (I'm broke,asf). I stumbled upon two options: The M-Audio Keystation 49 for $34, but it has a problem ,only 32 keys work, and the higher keys are non-functional. The other option is the Nektar LX 49 for $50, it also have problem like it need to pressed the keys harder to trigger.

Which one do you think is the best to repair and will last longer? Will I end up spending more money on repairs? I'd love to hear your opinions. Thanks!

Hi! I have the Presonus Audiobox, and microphone. Studio one will not work on my MacBook Pro. It is brand new, up to date, and has plenty of open space. I’ve done all the trouble shooting and Studio One just won’t work. Is there another software system that works well with Presonus? I was debating Logic. Any suggestions?

Hi there!

I want to make heavier sounding drums and I was wondering what vst's you guys are using for your heavy drums? Metalcore/post hardcore or even harder genres. I make mostly rnb/pop so I'm not in the now of the heavier music genres. Thanks!

I once saw people talking here about a plug-in that you insert on 2 channels and it kinda "separate" things avoiding frequencies masking, as far as i remember its something very simple like turning a knob. I wanted to check it out but cant remember the name, couldnt find on Google too

Thanks!

I'm at the stage in my production journey where I'm diving into more advanced topics such as phase alignment, mid/side processing and what not.

Trying to align my sub bass to my kick in serum is doing my head in.

I turned the "Rand" all the way down on the sine wave and and adjust the phase knob until my kick and bass start sounding strong and work as one, but if never does.

I invert the phase on my kick which is just a button on the track since I'm in reaper, and sometimes in rare cases it works but only about 70% of the way.

I still hear dips and phase issues as the kick and bass play together and I'm starting to wonder if I'm even on the right track.

This is the example banger - skip to 5:55 for a good example of the stabs I mean

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Jcl_jVE1Vc

These are stabs type that are used across many genres, techno and psytrance to mention two.
I still don't have a way to produce them satisfactorily, I tried with my moog and then with chorus and frequency shifter but I got a bit closer with FM modulation on my Prophet 6.

Still they don't sound quite like these in the example and I would love to know if you have a workflow to design such dark, cool and dynamic (in a harmonic content sense) stabs.

Hey, I've listened to this indie shoegazy band a lot lately, and I'm REALLY hooked by those weird vocals by the female singer, and so I was wondering how I could achieve a sound like that ? What processing do I need to make ? Or maybe I just need to sing like I'm stoned like crazy ? I'd be glad to have some help on that !

I use Logic’s piano session player quite often. Also EZKeys2. But, how do I use a tone from Splice and have my midi play using that tone. I figured a way to do it with bass because bass is a sampler. Wanted to understand that with piano as piano is more chord based playing multiple notes at the same time.

Howdy
I know it will probably be a piece of cake for you, but I'm a beginner, so I thought someone could help me here. I would like to put the following sounds in the song I creating:

How do I make that kind of hum or whatever should I call it? I notice that there are probably some filters on it, because it changes slightly, see. 2 but it seems to me like the same thing only with a different or reduced filters.

Plus I would like to learn how to make the melody that plays in the foreground of videos 3-4 (tu teta tu tetu taa - see 4). I also noticed with video 3 that it's probably due to some filters, but I can't figure out how to imitate this sound. Melody is not a problem but that sound. :(

I use FL Studio a will be active in the comments, thank you in advance for any advice,

have a good day :)

I've been looking to get into music production for a while, and one of my hold ups has been music theory. It's been tricky trying to figure out chord progressions, harmony and such. So my question for you is what are some books or other resources you used to learn music theory. Youtube videos are fine, but I'd prefer something that I can have on hand and look up quickly. Thanks!

*I don't have enough karma to post this in /edmproduction , posting here instead. Not sure if it matters on the genre of music for my question either way.*

I've started to begin my projects -8db (just on the groups on the template. drums, bass, synth, vox etc) and I'm noticing i have a lot more headroom to work with, thats great. But my volume knob on my Scarlett is so high because of this, when i go search for samples they're blasting my ears, but when i go back on my track it so quiet. Wondering if anybody has a work around, or maybe I'm doing something incredibly inefficient.

Thanks!

Hi everyone, let’s face it, I am to lazy to dig for movies to find a cool line. But I also don’t need much. I just want to include some vocal elements. Can be a just a word from a conversation or a syllable, so really everything works.

Anyone knows about some free vocal film dialog sample packs out there?
