Detroit bell, bells tips

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

Is it important that your thumbnail is in 16:9?

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?

Spinz 808 sounds off all of a sudden. Panning to the left and sounds muddy but didn’t before. (Fl Studio)

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

Pitching down vs moving notes down

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?

Can I buy an older version of Kontakt for older computer?

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.

How to protect my music from getting stolen?

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.

I’ve made $112,300 this year off the online side of the music industry - AMA!

My four income streams have consisted of:

  • Freelance Sound Design (~15%)
  • VST & Sound Kit Reviews (~20%)
  • Freelance Song Mixing (~30%)
  • Sound Kit Sales (~35%)

I credit a large amount of this to building up social media platforms over a few years (IG: @trifreeze 27K / YT @trifreeze 115K). Can absolutely share my top tricks for that as well!

I’m here to let everyone know it’s more than possible if you understand the fundamentals of business, and I’m here to go into great depth for you guys!

PluginBoutique just not scratching that itch like it used to.

Anyone still finding good deals on Plugin Boutique? I can remember a time when you could grab the dopest plugins for crazy deals and even get a nice experimental vst for the free free. Not so much over the last couple years. Its kind of a bummer for the ones who don't do crax but its always nice perusing the site to see whats new.

do y'all think its weird for producers to be named "lil something"? seems like more of a rapper name can only think of Lil Jon or like youngchop do y'all know any producers with a similar name. also I noticed his songs don't say "prod by Lil Jon" it just says "feat Lil Jon" do y'all know why that is

any tips for mixing vocals recorded by iphone

any tips for mixing vocals recorded by iphone

well,I still not have those trained ears to do all the job just by my ears, so I'm asking y'all or people who were recording vocals at some point of their lifes by iphone how they used to mix that.I have some questions about that hope I get some feedback on my approach of mixing and how I think about stuff

1-does the iphone mic pick so much noise,my settings on the ns1 are around 25 then I use a waves clarity pro with the preset of improve voice details then an Rx de-reverb, what do you think about that.

2-I think that since my room isn't treated good acousticly. so i should not use so much compression to not bring forward that noise and that frequencies of the room.

3-I find that the iphone mic is kinda bassy so I do a low cut at around 120 hrtz,then a multiband compressor to compress by around 3 db that range of 200-300 hrtz,and i reduce around 3-4 db some of bad frequencies by swepping

4-I mix with a audiotechniqua M 20x and I mixing trap songs,execuse my english it's not my first language
