QOTT: What stock software in your DAW do you get the most mileage out of? (VSTs/stock sounds etc.)
How do you keep going with writing music and trying to improve your skills? AI has made me so depressed about it for a year
the fuck do you mean? If you truly enjoy it you just keep doing it, AI isn't stopping you from doing anything. AI music is shit and everyone knows it. Whatever you make yourself is going to automatically have a degree of soul, even if it's beginner fumblings, so you're already a step ahead of the slop machine.
Then why is it so discouraging to post beginner stuff
That's a different question and has nothing to do with AI.
Yeah and I'm not that anon. I can see someone being much more demoralised and using AI instead of trying at all.
Most of us would probably like to hear beginner stuff. It's cool hearing a raw more uninfluenced sound. It's the same shit with Anon Babble, though, a good chunk of the posters don't play games.

Obv these would sound 10x better glued to a real sub bass and everything but here is some sound design practice I was doing last night. Just random flows shit in there but any sounds you guys think are cool? Been trying to do some unorthodox stuff to give it some old school sound mixed in.

how to dnb? make this drum loop with some samples and then gradually finished it over the course of a few months.. like november-february i think

bro's never been in /prod/ befoe
Nah not saying there aren't people demoralization posting, it's just always way fewer people than you think.
what daw(s) do you guys use and what version
The virgin Ableton work flow vs the chad FL resampling clusterfuck.
this is what it would sound like if some kind of sentient laser gun existed and it was shitting itself to death.
I made the second sound out of a 9milly top kek
Negativity bias is real and it will hurt you
fa/gg/ here. What makes you despondent about AI? I've experimented with suno a lot and so far:
its melodies suck
LLM lyrics suck
can come up with cool simple riffs in a formulaic style like surf punk but it's utterly clueless otherwise
after throwing enough shit at the wall something that's genuinely interesting might stick. you could achieve the same result by a similar "throw shit at the wall"/automatic writing/do gas station meth and let your brain juices spill out of your noggin.
it's really good at creating soundscapes/prod but that might be my bias since I'm clueless about sound engineering and can barely dial in my amps
So the answer is to stop sucking.
Demand for humanity is on the rise
Multipass might be the coolest thing I've ever fucked around with. They let you put more multipasses inside the multipass like what.
what in the fuck is kilohearts doing
With the audio follower at the bottom you can make it sound like someone is cranking whatever knob right as the sound starts playing too.
electronic
Nice.

Spectral compressor out of this plugin bundle is also one of the craziest things I've played around with and it's free.
What's the difference between this audio follower and a normal envelope generator?
It's matched 1 to 1 with the amplitude of the audio coming in so as it gets louder it gets cranked harder. Can give you some weird "vibrato" effects and stuff like that. Or maybe you want to do something more subtle where the tone is different when it's quieter.

So if you map it to pitch it can do FM?
Should you eq in shelves i.e. eq sub kick lows, give pads only mids to highs etc?
when do i know a track is finished
as opposed to what
As opposed to just cutting out all lower frequencies of non kick/sub layers and making minor adjustements on mids/highs
Imo ideally you would design your patches to 'organically' fit inside your mix eg. loop your song and mess with the filter inside the vst until it sounds good in the mix. People making sound design separate from mixing is cancer
You can do all kinds of crazy shit. In the pic I posted it's yoinking the entire mid band of the growl bass down with the frequency shifter as it gets louder.
Really just depends on the sound you are going for at that point.
There is not a single rule to guide that decision making.
Sometimes a shelf will be enough, sometimes not enough.
Sometimes EQ will not fix whatever you think the "problem" is.
But can it do FM?
How low do those attack and release go?
Yes and literally 0
Cool, thanks
Can you put VSTs in it?
thoughts on the full thing?
you probably already heard a version of the drop in the previoius thread, but I'm also curious what you think about the intro and outro
Only the kilohearts ones, unfortunately. Hopefully something like that gets made soon, though.
lil house track i made today real quick
move on to the next one bro
