build new pc
pick 2 Kingston nvmes, one 1tb, the other 2tb
surely this will be enough
1 single orchestral library is already a tb
elmao
i feel like its an interesting track of sorts with pleasant sounds
wondering is it missing something or something not working
what library?
I'm not into production yet but I have acquired a DJM-800 and some CDJ 850s so I can mess around with playing music before I start buying synths and beat machines.
The dream and passion has been reignited.
A beat a day 20
Weed lmao edition
voca.ro
the bass is fucked
a slvtty round 2
i have to go *outside* tomorrow... and the next day.... maybe even the next one....

voca.ro
Cool. Bass is fucking fucked tho.
Anime videogeme type tunes. What the fuck are those measures tho?????
Goes hard brudda
Nice.
Reminds me of Destiny Potato and or just David.
i swear i hit delete what the fuck
...don't even plan to continue but the sound just bothered the fuck out of me sorry
sleep soon...ish...,,
this is cool. sounds clean and the drums are pretty wild (I thought in a good way at least).

i tried to fix bass, is it still fucked?
hopefully you're talking about the actual sound of the bass, not about how its in 3/4. that's like the whole gimmick of the track that the bass is in 3/4
your highs are always so harsh it gives me ear fatigue, i do really enjoy your music tho
Now you must compose orchestral music until you die
Is vocaroo down? I cant upload anything no matter the browser
in my case eastwest hollywood orchestra opus (diamond edition, so the full thing)
how's my breakbeat going, /prod/?
vocaroo.com
Dunno about how, but I know where it's going, it's going in the bin (i downloaded the file so I could actually put it into the recycle bin and delete it).
why?
is it because of the reverse clap?
Hey, what's this weird fucking breakbeat that just got recycled into my bin?
Didn't even know that's how that shit worked until now.
so you have an entire orchestra for 1tb, now how many more orchestras do you need?
4 bars is my limit bros
Bass is going too low. If you want that rumbly bass, it's better to take that rumbly, low bass, high pass around 150 hz, then have a sine wave bass, playing the same notes, just a bit higher. As a general rule, it's good to not have bass going lower than 30 hz, most peoples sound systems cant put out frequencies much below 30 hz, except the odd bass head with 2000 watt 18" subs.

Work in progress.
Been on a hard trance/techno roll the last week. Did two remixes and some rework of earlier work into this hard trance esque style with rumble kicks and stuff. Put all 4 of them into a minimix because they're all 150 bpm.
Lazy I know, but I'm not going to release it anywhere.
songs remixed if anyone wants to hear the originals.

Okay, be honest and brutal? Is this a catchy pop song?
It's okay, sounds like pop song by numbers with the exception of the odd use of chords. It's harmonically sound, just not something you usually hear in a pop song.
The vocals doesnt quite fit the chords. Is the vocals AI generated or something, something sounds off about it.
Does anybody know of any good forums for serious aspiring musicians who are looking to improve exponentially and network? I see aspiring writer's have scrawl: the writers asylum and I was wondering if anybody heard of any musical equivalent.

Nope. The music industry is exactly that, an industry that feeds off dreamers. If you want serious feedback and networking, you have to pay for it. Nobody wants to listen to hours of your amateur jammering and high school grade lyricism for hours and get nothing for it.
Alternatively, work with other musicians in your area. Thats what everyone else had to do. There is no fast path to success, you just have to be one of two things or both, really good or really lucky.
improve exponentially
You wont find that in any online forum, that is purely down to you. Again, if you want to speed up that process, nothing improves you more than working with other musicians.
but..but everyone around here sucks
yea and so do you.
Polyend Tracker or Dirtywave m8?
I feel like the former still needs some ironing out, but it would be w better "daw" for me insofar as I am completely over the computer. I dom't even fancy myself as someone who can spin plates jamming everything out, but I have decided to get into music making again with 1-2 grooveboxes, 1-2 prosumer level arranger keyboards and a couple of the cheaper analogue desktop synths and just have fun playing things again.
The zoom recorder recently issued w midi sync looks cute, too, hope the noise floor ain't too bad.
It's funny, I love synths and yet I have no interest in or curiosity about an AI deeper than a good arpeggiator. I am opting to let it pass me by, knowing I'm too old and too average to ever matter to an audience lol

I don't completely believe this. The internet has created many unlikely communities like Brockhampton and Odd Future. I know having a mentor that's well-connected would obviously be the preferred path but I'm not so lucky to find one IRL as of yet.

Is this what you did? Are you speaking from knowledge as a professional or a hobbyist or neither? Anyways I think I'm real good so I'm not worried about that.
>but..but everyone around here sucks
Never said nor implied this...
yea and so do you.
No, I don't. Don't insinuate.

Who do you think you’re talking to?
Anons never learn lmaoo

It's called nepotism
Brockhampton and Odd Future
what all of those have in common is that they all lived in the same city, in brockhamptons case, in the same house. As I said work with other musicians, but I guess you think you're beyond learning from anyone who doesnt have 4 grammys on their wall because you're just that special.

You strike me as a person who lives alot in an imaginary world.
Anyways I think I'm real good so I'm not worried about that.
No, I don't. Don't insinuate.
yeah you suck, anyone with actual talent wouldnt get this defensive.
dare you enter my magical realm
All creative leaps are a folly
Thats what makes them great
Brian Eno made mention of people who were very attached to scene vs people who were mkre focused on the music itself, andnthe latter having to struggle
i need female vocals
I don't know if those two make good options if you reasoning is that you're "over the computer." I don't know.. I hate everything right now, but I have been watching for m8 to go back up for preorder; sucks having to check that website everyday because they always sell out quick.
Got my eye on the Tonverk speculation as well.
Who do you think you’re talking to?
I don't know, that's why I ask.

Brockhampton started on the KanyeToThe forum with 40 people across the US. The group of serious musicians (15 members or so) eventually all moved to Texas then California to work part-time jobs and grind on their passion; I want to find passionate people in the same way Brockhampton did but not necessarily forming a collective. If I was a snob that only wanted advice from a grammy-winning artist then obviously I wouldn't be asking here of all places. These people exist and are accessible to anybody with money.

How so? I'm just genuinely asking to get more context on your answer.
yeah you suck, anyone with actual talent wouldnt get this defensive.
There's nothing for me to defend from, I know I'm good but I want to be even better.
anons itt say they want to reach a professional level and yet they haven’t put in the work watching thousands of hours or youtube tutorials like me
based. my local library offers LinkedIn Learning courses (formerly Lynda.com) and that's what I used to learn most of the fundamentals and a few books.
a mentor that's well-connected
What reason would someone like that have to mentor an up and coming artist?
Unless he's trying to fuck or he's personally invested in you (e.g. you're signed to his label or you're already relatives/friends or something), I don't think there's a high chance that he's going to do it out of the goodness of his heart.
But I don't know anything about this sort of relationship, so please correct me if I'm wrong.
If you don't care about the connection part, you can learn from what successful producers have posted online in their streams and whatnot. The Sol State YouTube channel has clips from famous producers showing their projects and whatnot.
Can you be sexist at me please?
I’m objectively the best musician here but I find it validating to be written off for silly things like that.
I haven’t read your posts in depth and obviously I’m taking the piss a bit but if you want a “connection” or some type of relationship that helps you grow, your best bet is to actively seek somebody out who’s either established or underground, suck their dick a bit etc, but *convince them* that youre good enough to be a potential future collaborator- they have to benefit from taking you under your wing somehow.
Otherwise, why would anybody bother..?
Honestly this sort of thing has crossed my mind: forming a small group of well matched equally capable/driven artists… running a weekly meeting where we workshop and genuinely talk about their wip, their trajectory and such in voice chats…
Meeting people for that kind of stuff is too difficult. The skill filter alone kills everybody
I want to find passionate people in the same way
then go to your local scene, talk to some musicians, see if theres anyone who wants to collab, if anyone hosts workshops or something similar, I dont understand how many times I have to tell you this other than you dont want to, you just want a music career to magically land in your lap.
These people exist and are accessible to anybody with money.
If money isnt an issue, buy a producer, rent studio time, or produce them yourself. make some songs, release them, see how you fare. Hell you might even be as good as you say you are and make it big.
How so? I'm just genuinely asking to get more context on your answer.
There isnt, other than you thinking you can somehow outsmart the market.
Like I said, it just sounds to me like you just wants to be "discovered" without even putting your foot outside the door and I'm telling you that only happens if you're really good and people online starts noticing your shit or if you're lucky or if someone wants to fuck you.
What? Are you offended? You a woman?
You're simply answering a question I'm not asking. I just wanted to know if there is any semi-exclusive community like Scrawl then I asked for your background with music. I never asked about breaking into the industry or anything pertaining the industry. When I say "network" I just mean with other like-minded artists.
You're simply answering a question I'm not asking
because they are simply stupid questions
I just wanted to know if there is any semi-exclusive community like Scrawl
If there was one, do you think we would be hanging out here? And if there was exclusive communities like that, they dont like to make themselves known because they dont want every 19 year old with a pirated daw and a guitar swamping their boards with shit.
They do exist, but usually for super specific genres that isnt very mainstream or make alot of money.
Again, your questions are stupid.
then I asked for your background with music.
I've made money making music, people have paid me to make music for them, people have paid me to use my music in their projects. Any further than that I wont bother to elaborate because you're just looking for a chink in the armor.
When I say "network" I just mean with other like-minded artists.
I hear you say that and I keep saying, seek out other musicians in your area, but it sounds more to me now that you just want a bunch of cheerleaders and people to do all the heavy lifting for you.
The closest thing nowadays is probably just Discord.
The problem is that it's super fragmented across a trillion different servers, but there are some that are popular enough and have skilled enough producers in them.
Servers about nerdy technical genres that are hard to make will probably teach you the most stuff that isn't the basics that everyone knows, but none of those guys is ever going to be successful due to the inaccessible nature of those genres (from a listening standpoint).
But you can obviously still apply those skills to more mainstream genres.
