met up with a bunch of pals the day before I left china to jam and drink beers, got a couple of usable collections of stems & loops to gently caress around with, made this with one of them. still waiting for some contributions from someone else but i'm liking it https://soundcloud.com/killhamster/fri-jam-3-still-rough/s-QhwXV5BxEHv

NonzeroCircle posted:My buddy runs a little electronic label and does a radio show, that's where my song from upthread is going. He does charity Bandcamp compilations semifrequently so if you want in on one of those let me know and I can forward details. This lost recent one has a couple artists from South America on it which is real cool when you consider this is a guy in a village in Cornwall putting it together this sounds cool and i am interested

Jonny 290 posted:with drums it can also be fruitful to, instead of using comp/distortion as an insert, to put it on a send. Just set up some absolutely brickwall compressor or a Metal Zone from Hell distortion on an aux bus and mix it in with clean. Crank the send level and use the return for the level control so you can keep the signal in the input range for the dynamics you want. Can add a lot of color and harmonics without trashing the attack of the drums themselves NonzeroCircle posted:Distortion sends are the secret weapon for percussion, vocals, everything. yes yes parallel comp and saturation are my secret weapon on drums, also i have an LA-2A comp i love the sound of on drums. it's set up in my default project and dialed in to exactly the way i like it

been working on a project with friends back in china and they're so slow it's maddening. i've mixed 5 songs for them & they're pretty much done but the back and forth takes forever, so i've been loving around and just making remixes of their poo poo for fun. upgraded my PC in the middle of it all and now it doesn't wheeze and die if i have a shitload of fx on a shitload of tracks so that's good. sooner or later i'll have something to show for it all

Jonny 290 posted:i will go on record as saying that i have never once in my life been made aware of somebody writing a _song_ with a bunch of eurorack gear. every time it's "look at this poo poo its loving crazy" and then them plugging cables in and just letting an arp run while they twiddle a cutoff or decay knob. but if you enjoy it and will use the gear, go for it this is how i've always seen it, "oh cool you made it fart, where's the song" i haev a few virtual modulars and i mostly understand the concepts and i guess appreciate the freedom but if you give me a synth with a real workflow and like a mod matrix i can dial in the sounds i want much more quickly and get to composing and arranging much more quickly. idk they're just not for me. ive never been impressed when someone's like "hey check out this patch"

Kernel Sanders posted:can’t they be satisfying just as knobtwidding funboxes rather than gear you make music with? I mean I guess, it’s just not meant for me. I wanna make finished tracks that are polished as gently caress also Jonny’s right. having a fuckoff expensive fart generator and not doing something actually impressive with it is kinda disappointing if you wanna buy these things and twiddle knobs that’s cool too, I just have different goals & motivations

Woolwich Bagnet posted:did it in reaper. it's easier if you render the part you want to cut up first. then you can just drag it so it's how long you want it. attacks work best since they make a good chopped up sound with their variation, or you can use a fast volume envelope. then copy it however many times, take the last one and shorten the end of it more, rinse and repeat. putting a bit of a gap before them amplifies the effect even more. i used a separate track so that it didn't have so much reverb on it if you dig that sound and dont have any, look for "trance gate" plugins or FX, or something like stutter edit. they can vastly simplify the process for you. e.g. i'll take a step sequencer and use it to trigger a gate in a pattern and just let it run, no having to edit things meticulously

this is it. listen to jonny. it's all about the context of your music and where it would be played and how it would fit into a larger set. take music you like and study it, break it apart, keep reference tracks on hand. also this is a good rear end track
