I'm kind of new to this platform and I wanted some recommendations for samplemaking communities...

I wanna learn how to create beats, maybe some bars and any instrument if needed. I wanna create music like Travis scott, Kanye west, weeknd, Drake etc. as a hobby, no vision of release and all. I love every single thing about these types of music the tune the beats the bars even if it's auto tune idk I just like the feel and I wanna learn music. I want a mentor who can get me through the basics of this, I don't know any instrument not do I own any. I can also take up classes if needed but in the genre I mentioned only (rnb hiphop pop).

Help guys.

Hey I'm producing a track at the moment and tryna go for a song similar to everyday hustle by metro with a mostly vocal background. Wondering how best to make the beat such that the vocals on the sample don't clash with the rapper.

Like where could you possibly hear that? Was it famous when it was made in the 70’s?

Jus so yall know sound toys is giving a free phaser plugin away, id grab it now if u don’t already have it cause they got some goated plugins fr

what VSTs can i use to have the same sounds as the ones in cymatics loops.

OR

What plugins does cymatics use for the sample packs?

talking about sounds like piano’s, synths, flutes or sounds that i can’t really define.

Do any of yall know some good free plugins and instruments for songs like Fuck the Opps by Screwly G or Ahhh by Bloodhound Lil Jeff?

Hello guys, Hope everyone is doing well! Sorry for this but I really wanted some advice on my beat channel which I had recently started, Its a HipHop beat channel where I usually upload everyday since over a month.

I usually just do it as a hobby but very much passionate to get my music out there and get some feedback.

So since starting the channel, I really do not get much comments so I really have no idea if I'm doing things right or wrong.

I try to keep my graphics/visuals consistent with a focus on creating a "branding" identity for myself as a producer but it would mean the world to me if someone can actually give me honest feedback on my beats.

I am always open to the harshest criticism so feel free to blow me out haha if the beats suck really bad.

If anyone is interested in giving it a listen, you can dm me and I'll provide the name of the channel or in the comments.

I have been producing, mixing and mastering my own music for around a year and a half now and I can get my vocals and overall mixes sounding pretty solid - by no means professional, but serviceable for what I want do to.

However, I cant seem to get my vocals sounding as detailed as I want. For context, I am recording fast and aggressive rap vocals.

Also when I say detailed vocals i would say something like $uicideboy$ earlier vocal sound, like 2nd hand or For the Last Time for example, is a good reference.

My usual go to setup for my vocal chain is a de-esser into an eq, then serial compression, and after that I use other effects if necessary (saturation, exciters, reverb sends etc).

After this process I usually can no longer hear the subtle nuances of my voice. They always seem to be washed out and flattened by something im doing, and I am not sure what that is.

Also so everyone is aware of my setup for recording vocals, I use an Apollo Solo into a TLM-102 if that helps with any advice you would want to give. Thank you!

Guys I’ve been producing beats for almost +5 years. I worked with major Turkish artist but still I Don’t like my melodies. I wanna learn How to make melodies. Generally I’m making aggressive and ethnic beats. What do you suggest to improve melody skills ?

Just want to get the info on what yall prefer and why cause I can’t pick between both on what I’m bouta buy

(Edit: I wasn’t comparing the 2 together it was more of a question to see which one is more useful)

Specifically works best with FL studios? I would really appreciate the help. 😊🙏🏾

Update: thank you all for the quick response it’s definitely appreciated.

Lil Loaded - Hit Em Up

what's good with y'all, anyone know the kick sample of this song?

I gave a break to making beats for a one year due to personal problems. And now i try to get back to it but i just can't write melodies like i used to. I listen my old beats and get suprised how good and creative i was at it. Any suggestions?

Hiya, guys!

I love to produce Detroit beats, but I've noticed something.

And it's that the bells these producers use, for example in the Rio Da Yung OGs tunes, sound different from the ones I've coped.

I have hunted and gathered dozens of tubular bells, church bells, and whatnot, and none of these has the same feeling and sonic characteristics as the ones we hear in the popular Detroit tunes.

Maybe they use a bell from an expensive plugin—I have Xpand!2 and the ones that came with FL Studio -- proudly legal, but it isn't in my plans to buy an expensive instrument right now.

So, the questions is:

What do these producers use for their bell sounds?

Thanks guys. You rock.

I've to post this again, my original post was nuked because I linked another subreddit

Hey everyone, I make trap music and I have a beat that I want a 30 second long looping music video probably with stock images for my best that will be used for media services (Spotify, Instagram, tiktok) and I will pay. I have a video for reference of what I want. If anyone knows who to contact please comment. Thanks everyone.

Guys, does anyone have KickShaper? i need this plugin asap

so i often take thumbnails from pinterest and theyre often a different format and i dont have a 16:9 format, is it important for views or is it irrelevant when the thumbnail is high quality and good?

Like the title says I am trying to find a Solution to why my Spinz 808 is off all of a sudden. I have been producing for a long time and just now am stumbling on this problem. It’s as if I accidentally messed up a setting in the 808 but all the settings are the same. If someone knows why the spins 808 can start sounding like it’s phasing or panning on its own it would help a lot.

Edit: every time the 808 hits it sounds different like it’s traveling left and right in the pan and doing its own thing

Edit 2: I have been mixing beats for a long time now so I am aware of the leveling method and am sure I have leveled every thing clearly and eq the low ends of the melody

Edit 3: whoever downvoted the posts is a bitch

Basically what the text says, what’s the difference between pitching a note down on the note settings vs actually moving the note down on the piano roll?

Does native instruments sell a "not-up-to-date" version of kontakt? I really want to learn afro beats and I can do a lot of great sounds but I struggle in getting super realistic woodwind instruments like saxophone.

My iMac desktop cannot support installation of kontakt when trying to install the demo

I have a 2012 iMac. Specs are:

OS: Catalina 10.15.7

Processor: 2.7ghz quad core Intel i5

RAM: 8gb ddr3

GPU: Nvidia GeForce GT 640m

If not, do you have other comparable VSTs you recommended that have high quality acoustic/realistic instruments?

I tried cheesy VSTs like Luxinox Purity for saxophone, I EQd Tf out of it, slapped some reverb and other tweaks and it still sounds like a 90's video game saxophone.

I recently watched a video from Sachin SSS who made a phonk track and released the project file FLP sell for educational purposes. A guy bought the FLP and released that track in his (the guy who stole) name. That track got over 200 million streams/plays.

So, it's clear that the music thief made a lot of money with that stolen track.

I'm a small music producer and I make music as my hobby. I sell my project files too for educational purposes and made some sales. Now, I'm thinking if someone does the same thing with my track then how can I fight it? What steps should I take and how can I protect my tracks to get stolen?

I want to keep selling my project files for educational purposes only but I don't want my music to get released without any credit by any music thieves. I made 37 project file sales and now I'm worried.

I sell my project files + I upload my tracks on youtube and soundcloud without any security.

Please guide me.
