Hello, I have a question about selling beats with samples. Could someone please clarify this issue? where to get samples that I can use in the beat that will be sold and what do you think about the website samplette.io
Can someone please give me a clear explanation on what the difference is between the two.
I have been experimenting with chords and melodies non stop.
Different leads, different pads, etc
I watch remake videos and sometimes they use the same vst to make the chords and the melody and just play in different octaves. But is this the chords or the melody?
Or somebody will make a melody with a chord like structure which I don't understand either.
Like someone will say this a melody and proceed to make chords. (So does that mean that you song has chords even tho it sounds like a melody?)
Thanks for the help
If you could give me an example with a real song, it might make it easier to understand too. Like the song God's country (Travis Scott) the Melody is the La La, laa la. But in the butterfly effect the melody is made up of chords.
Hi
I'm looking for this specific siren / riser FX used by Southside at the very beginning of this video @ 0:07
https://youtu.be/FO6J2ai9DrU?si=MtnBfaTPRVUKFAP-
I feel like I've heard in some tracks but I don't recall which ones
Any help would be greatly appreciated, I don't believe it's a niche SFX at all but I can't find it in the drum kits I have or online after doing some research
Thank you.
Hey all, apologies for the noob question, and it’s my first post on Reddit. I was wondering if anyone could offer some guidance or have samples as to the fundamentals of the snare sound starting at about 1:15 and plays throughout the song?
It sounds kinda like an 808 Tom to me with a lot of reverb and distortion. Any tips on how to get me closer to the length of the sample used to make it ring more would be much appreciated. It quite reminds me of the snare used on “Say You Will” by Kanye.
Many thanks!
Transistor/tube saturation is what you want to look for
Leave at least one comment as feedback for someone else before you post a track looking for feedback. If you do not, your post will be deleted.
If you post first, wait for somebody else to post, then give feedback. Comment on posts that haven't received feedback yet. Report or call out any people that have posted their track without first providing feedback.

What do you like about them?
What makes the waveforms in FL Studio provide this difference? Is it stereo image or saturation?
The bass in this song: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=o0ACIq6JQRM
Also the bass in this: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RvW89lPxDvA&pp=ygUSQmxhY2sga3JheSBib3cgYm93
Does anyone know any FL stock sounds that are this? Or other VSTs/packs that I can buy/download?
Thanks 🙏
Hello everyone!
You see two parts of a kick waveform, the tail is wavy towards the right, the front is pointed and has a nuance towards the front. What is the source of these slopes and for what purpose do they appear like this?
I make beats almost exclusively with my Audio Technicas. But when I listen to said beat on studio monitors, airpods, and iPhone speakers it's like it lost all it's magic. It's tough cause most people listen to beats on phones/average headphones. I have no idea how to mix for every listening device. HELP!
Hi I wanted to ask if you guys have any idea if there are any producer meetups or how to find them around nyc. I tried to search facebook and got nothing. One of my friend told me to go to underground trap concerts but that's about it.
Happened to someone I know
Anybody know where to get funky bass like in bigxthaplug plug new song meet the 6ixers and badu flow?
Hii, so i am going to purchase my first set of studio monitors and ive been looking for some reviews on musicradar, youtube and reddit, i really like krk rp8 g4, are these monitors good for a home studio setup im rather big room? my budget is 500$ +/-
I have a question/want to get your guys opinion on something i’ve been wondering about for a while now. I have been making beats for about 4/5 years now ranging between trap, drill, hip hop/boom bap, electronic, ambient etc. and one of my favourite things to do is get acapellas off of youtube and put them over my beats. I haven’t posted any of these on streaming services for legal reasons but it seems like a lot of other producers release their own remixes ? i’m sure some of them have permission/connections with the artists but i’ve even seen smaller pages with small followings posting remixes. Do you think it would be stupid to release my own remixes on streaming services or should I just go for it
Hi!
I am deeply researching the character and roles of sound. My aim is to produce completely Analog, Organic and Natural beats.
That's why I increased my use of Foley and Ambience, but I'm asking just to be sure.
What approach should I develop regarding the character of the sound?
I've been producing for a little while now but I still know hardly anything about mixing. How do I get a sound like this? And if anyone could also help me find out what the 808 is that would be appreciated. Im thinking it's probably a Zay but any advice is appreciated. https://youtu.be/opNCWo7RrrY?si=wQtH4kKM-EL37v4K
Im I’m search for more dark trap/cloud rap vibes. Is there a good amount of dark trap presets or dark sounding presets for serum ? Worth it ? Electra and kontakt seem to be my main vsts.
I saw a streamer using the Splice app to store his custom samples. He also gets the ‘imported’ folder on the sidebar. How do I do this? It would be so helpful to access all my samples from Splice, even ones that are not from Splice itself. Any idea?
Lookin for some prods to work and lab w
i need new soundbanks to make trap. the ones i keep finding are all pianos i want different kinds of synths you might hear in atl trap
Been making beats for almost 8 years now. Had some rough times but mostly everything was fine. Since i make a lot of different stuff when i had some difficulties with making one thing i was hopping onto another one and thats how i was dealing with any type of block. Recently been feeling really burned out with music tho. I cant make anything worth while and I gotta force myself to even open up a daw. Also since i got a new job i basically dont have much free time and when i do so I dont wanna force myself to make music and just get frustrated after work. Any advice on how to deal with that situation? Dont want to quit cause ive worked a lot to get where im at and even tho thats not much i dont want to just abandon it
