h_double posted:This is something to check I guess, but it shouldn't make a very noticeable difference, and there are plenty of reasons to mix at a higher rate/depth than the final target (greater headroom, less distortion in effects processing, etc.) I'd also make sure your samplers, drum machines and audio tracks are set to play back at the highest quality available when you are mixing down, rather than playing everything back in 'Draft' quality or whatever.

Meatsplosion posted:Well the issue isn't mixing at a different bit depth than the final target, but how he gets there. If he renders at the same bit depth and sample rate that he's monitoring at and then converts the sample type, the results would be more consistent. Rendering at a different resolution ends up throwing the dynamic range out of whack and definitely has a large (although somewhat subtle) effect on the sound of software synths. I'm not sure I understand what you're saying. If you record your track at, say, 24 bit/88kHz and then convert down to 16 bit/44kHz, it shouldn't make any difference whether you do the conversion with Live's export, or with some other software that uses POW-r dithering. I have seen some softsynths which don't always react well with different sample rates, but I'm not quite sure what you mean about "throwing the dynamic range out whack".

Im having an insane amount of difficulty mapping my midi controllers (two xone 1ds and a korg nanopad) to FL studio and its varying VSTs (namely omnisphere) so that the VSTs can be played live and I can use the playlist sequencer to build tracks. I can get FL studio to recognize the controllers, but it assigns notes to all the buttons (i guess FLS thinks its a keyboard?) and I cant figure out how to get the knobs and faders working at all. My limited knowledge of midi comes from using Traktor Scratch pro, and programming my controllers with that. do I need to get an 3rd party midi mapper or something?

Right click the knob/fader you want to set, select link to controller, and then use/move/twist the midi controller's knob you want assigned. You can also press the plugin button on your vst, click browse parameters. It will pull up a list of parameters from the vst that can be assigned to your controller. Then right click parameter, link, move knob.

I just whipped this up over the past couple days in Reason, can I get some feedback? sort of a laid back piece. It's only mastered for headphones right now, not on a monitor or anything, so it might sound out of whack on speakers.

The GM clarinet / single-triangle / whatever uninspired placeholder-sounding synth is used for the periodic lead interjections is really boring though - replace it with something cooler and this will be, as a whole, much cooler. IMHO. edit: made less negative (it was unintentional I swear) HandlingByJebus fucked around with this message at 00:23 on Nov 21, 2009 |

http://www.warehousedisco.com/Warehouse%20-%20No%20Funk.mp3 This is a rough draft but it's pretty much laid out - ear fatigue was setting in but most of the sequencing is done and we need to make some small tweaks before it goes final

every time irc is invoked it devolves into an idling convention. and irc is probably worse than forums anyway, when it comes to destroying time that can be spent actually doing poo poo. down for an IM list tho, my aim is in my profile. got a few ML regulars to taunt and harass. I will ignore your lovely electro house and dubstep projects with ease.

My first solo production, done entirely in Ableton with no plugins except for a maximizer for mastering: http://booster.angryhosting.com/demo/vincible.mp3 I'd like commentary on the mix and the overall feel of the track. I have a couple more parts I've been playing with that I'm going to add, to remove a bit of the monotony. I blew through this in 8 hours before going to a party, so I just tried to cram it into a listenable package before leaving. This is dark-ish prog house. xpander fucked around with this message at 10:05 on Nov 25, 2009 |

cubicle gangster posted:I finished another track tonight I realllly like this song. It definitely has a nice minimal feel to it. You know how to put a song together. The only issue I have with it is that you might be overusing the sound that comes in around 3:00. It's very distracting and detracts from my enjoyment of the song. Get other opinions, but that's mine. If used in small doses after the breakdown after 4:00 I would dig it, but before that it seems out of place. if anyone knows about synthesizers, heres my repost of a frustrating problem i need help w: hey yall, i could use some help. Is there any reason, with this thor setup, that only oscillator 1 should be making noise? If I turn osc 1 off and press a key no sound comes out of oscillator 2. i've tried anything i can think of, but i'm sure it's something stupidly simple. help! (I know that with this setup osc1 won't make noise either, but I'm concerned with osc2)

first guess, look at the buttons from the OSC mixer to the filter. 2 seems to be disabled for filter routing? I dunno try and click it see what happens!

Thanks man I do agree with you and know exactly what you mean - the noise is the dry version of the huge swirly noise at the end of bars/the break and I just left the dry version running through thinking it might add something. Seems not! I'll chop the poo poo out of it later tonight.

I'm a big fan of Uhbik-A as a general purpose reverb to glue tracks together. The Ableton reverb is great as an effect reverb, but for ambience or realism it kind of blows. nah thanks fucked around with this message at 02:57 on Nov 26, 2009 |

I really suck at making electronic music. I made what I think is a sufficient beat and a sufficient bassline. What can I do to this track to make it bumpin like the ones you guys make? e: I intend to expand the very last part, I just left it as is to get some feedback and help. trans fat fucked around with this message at 04:28 on Nov 26, 2009 |
