The Producers Thread

J0be 4:05 PM 29 December 2009

I did a quick search and couldn't find any threads specifically related to production, so thought I'd start one.

So this is somewhere to post all your latest efforts and works in progress. Hopefully we'll get some CONSTRUCTIVE criticism!

All genre's welcome. No remixes please, just original works

I got into production not so long ago, really struggling to find the time to practice, so i've literally only made a few tunes. It's fucking hard!!

Here's my latest effort, made today. It still needs a lot of work....

Genre: Progressive/Tech House
Software: Reason 3

Please feel free to comment, and make your own contributions below.

And here's a dubstep track I made a couple of months ago:

I got a few to upload. I wonder how long it will take before people don't read the first posts and start putting up their edits/remixes/refixes/mashup/re-edit/re-imagining

DJ Sniffles 11:01 PM 30 December 2009

J0be, checking out your tracks on Soundcloud and just from the waveforms I can tell, you need to put a compressor on your master buss. It'll help bring out everything and get a more consistent level.

Not long at all I'm guessing!

Thanks Sniffles, I tried master compression once before, but because I didnt really know what I was doing it sounded weird. I'm meeting up with a producer mate tomorrow, I'll get him to show me how it's done properly.

DJ Sniffles 2:12 AM 31 December 2009

I just started on a new track like an hour ago. It's gotta a nasty synth on it right now

J0be 2:14 AM 31 December 2009

hah, nice. I'm on it now too. My ears are aching from having the headphones on all day.

DJ Sniffles 3:01 AM 31 December 2009

Yeah sometimes you gotta take a break and let the blood in your ears drain out haha. I have like 2 monitors and a sub and I can't even use them because my neighbors are a bunch of whiners

Gor 3:24 AM 31 December 2009

i like that dubstep track j0be

DJ Sniffles 6:15 AM 31 December 2009

LOL I have no idea what this is.... i was really really bored this past hour and needed a break from the song I was working on.

This is literally one long 64 bar note......

Anyone know of a website that shows you the different scales? A friend of mine showed me a site once where you select your key and it gives you different scales. I dunno jack about scales, and that site was very helpful, but I forgot what it was. Any ideas?

JObe....I like Joss Ackland's Spunky Backpack (single track)
Very nice...for someone who thinks producing is hard you're doing a great job.

J0be 8:00 PM 7 January 2010

Thanks dude, i use a lot of preset samples for the synths and mess around with them. It is kinda cheating, but at the moment I'm just trying to learn how to arrange things, and get the keys right, and make the overall production sound professional. It's fucking hard work maaaan! ;)

It's not cheating man..it's being efficient. LOL

I find a preset thats close to what i want, then tweek. Lately ive been using a lot more Soundfonts as they sound wayyy more natural than a synth.

J0be 11:23 PM 7 January 2010

Hah, my bad dude! I was at work when you posted them, totally headphoneless! :)

Some nice tracks, I really like Lime and Gona Leave You, some nice melodies, had my head noddin. I guess overall the production could be better, but that's probably the hardest part to get down, making it sound professional, with tight EQs & mastering etc.

Keep up the good work mang!

Where do you find the guitar samples, or is that you playing?

J0be 11:27 PM 7 January 2010

I think the secret to good production is professional samples, I looked around and paid hard cash for some decent samples, my shit went from fucking awful to not too bad, in like a day!

CMOS 1:35 AM 8 January 2010

Gonna leave you is from the Led Zepplin song Gonna leave you.

The lime one is from the group Lime, i dont have the vinyl in front of me to see which track.

The losing hand one is a harry belafonte sample.

Pitbull remix was Eric Clapton.

Everything else were soundfonts and synths.

Im absolutely horrible at mastering eq'ing and mixing stuff down. I usually pass that part off to a buddy of mine.

J0be 12:26 AM 9 January 2010

I really like this track... you say its undone but its something I would play, nice and mellow with a bad a$$ bass like unlike any tech house song I've ever heard.

I'm using reason 4, can you tell me how you got to know the software? I haven't gone through this whole thread so I sorry if I'm repeating anything. You said getting decent samples was a the key to better sounding stuff, where should I start looking for samples? I'm a newb at reason so all of my stuff sounds like an 8 year old playing with $10 toy, thats why I ask. (cuz if my productions sounded like that prog/tech house you made, I would be pretty stoked)

Thanks man, it's a great feeling when someone likes a tune you've made! I learned by watching video's on youtube, and if you search, you'll be able to find full Reason tutorial packs online (you might even find a torrent). I found one for reason 3, really helped me out, very professional video's. Like here for example:

found after a quick google search: www.reason4tutorial.com

For samples, just search online, you can usually tell which ones are decent just by the quality of the website, here's some good ones:

www.vengeance-sound.com

www.samplemagic.com

I paid for mine, so worth it. It's all about searching and finding some decent sources. Then finding the cheapest way to get your hands on them!

And when you're looking for samples, try an get samples with loops...i.e synth loops, tops loop, drum loops. They're great when you're just learning, makes it easier to put tunes together and have them sound professional. Just be sure to add your own flare and fuck around with it. :)

DJ Sniffles 4:23 PM 9 January 2010

Mixing down takes time to learn. Mastering is something we will never do. There are a small number of engineers who actually master albums.

When I mix, I find where all my sounds are coming in and loop 2 bars. I adjust levels and eq/compress from there. Prior to mixing down, I make sure all of my levels are below 6dB. Drums below 9 and bass below 11. These are all negative numbers of course. Then after eq, I throw a multiband compressor and then a limiter over that on the master channel.

Nice track Steve, like the synth that kicks in around :45. All works well together. Need to work on the levels and EQ I reckon, when you're using heavy bass you need be careful that it doesnt drown out the synths in places.

StephenGallagher, this one is a little weird for me! It's like I said earlier, I'm not much of a dubstep listener. So my ear for it isn't so great. But it's a decent song tho.

really need to have a conversation with you tho, you got a sound that im trying to get!

DJ Sniffles 5:35 AM 22 January 2010

Ok, so I really have no business putting this up but I had some friends over while I was working in this and somewhere through it we had it on repeat and was doing the Jersey Shore fist pump and running in place. I'm really not surprised we didn't all punch eachother in the face.

The track isn't really anywhere yet and its pretty much just moving shit around right now to see what might work.

I kinda wanted to try something different away from a housey sound but it will end up with it anyways because I've tried some different synths and shit over it and it kinda works.... but who cares about that.... it was just this that I had.

It'll be a booty shaker, thats for sure hahahahaha

www28.zippyshare.com

It's a wav, sorry

All in all, it was just a fun time doing this, even though it was only like 30 mins of work, it was a fun 2 hours moving things around and acting like a clown with my buddies.

I dunno if you guys have checked out www.reverbnation.com but if you're serious about making music and trying to do something with it, that site is pretty amazing. Its got a ton of promotional tools to work alongside with anything else you're using already. Pretty dope

J0be 10:14 AM 25 January 2010

Yeah I'm on Reverb. It's pretty cool, but I much prefer the simplicity of Soundcloud. Dope site though, defo worth a try. And I like how you get cash for advertising!

Logisticalstyles 11:03 AM 25 January 2010

Also check out PumpAudio and Rmblefish if you are interested in licensing your music. I've been with both for a few years now and I consistantly get royalty checks from them and BMI for music I've submitted. It's also pretty cool to hear your music on a TV show or video game.

sweetL 11:04 AM 25 January 2010

Cool... will check out reverb!

DjWoody 2:48 AM 27 January 2010

For some reason, every time I try to make a lead or something from scratch, I end up creating some cool weird sounds unintentionally. lol I should just make some minimal or some weird experimental shit a la Holden! lol

I'm just learning, so I'm sure you guys are like WTF? But this is new to me. lol

I just made this right now, there's 3 sounds on the first file. The first sound sounds cool and usuable for trance. The 2nd & 3rd are some trippy bells.

livemag.site.aplus.net

In this one, I was trying to create that Afrojack sound, and ended up creating that cheap toy ray gun that little kids use. The kind you buy at the swapmeet. lol It also sounds like a car alarm. lol I can probably make some Dubstep out of this! lol

I needed an audio interface since I sold my MBox last year, and picked up this....

lexiconpro.com

I gotta say, for only $230, this thing has great audio quality. I went through my old projects that I've been working on since I sold my MBox and I can hear the low quality mixing I was doing using my computers built in sound card. This is work the money if you don't have an audio interface already and it sits perfectly on your desktop/studio space. Very clean look!

So i have been messing around with logic for about 5 months. I have never done any productions at all, maybe some remixes here and there on ssl, i thought Logic Pro would be a nice play to start. This is my first finalized instrumental, i usually start and then erase whatever i have. I need some mixing adjustments before i record some vocals on it (not me, but a local artist here in Houston)

I've been watching alot of youtube links on people making beats. Would you guys want the links in this thread or a new separate thread.

O.B.1 6:25 PM 22 February 2010

I'd prefer if this thread remained for serato forum members to post their own creations, for critique/sharing... but their are some dope producers on youtube, worthy of sharing with the rest of the forum in another thread.

(but anyone feel free to disagree)

The right kit can make such a difference. The synths are so fat sounding, gives a great bass. You get a real analog growl at times, top stuff.

I don't........

Anyone who is super closed minded to Top40 or "what hip hop use to be" or what "house use to be" I don't even want them to hear a song I make. Anyone who is the the mindframe of "things use to be like this" can sit in the waiting room ;)

Not saying Bandoma at all..... have mad respect for the dude as a turntablist. But if you're gonna be in this thread critiquing, you better have an open ear because this isn't the place for mainstream idealism ;)

That being said.... lets continue to post. I have a few stuff that I'm gonna put out here quickly. Some stuff is up with labels so I can't put them out till the label does (contracts and stuff) and other stuff I'm still working on with people in Georgia (the country) and locally so its not done yet.

NO MAINSTREAM TOP 40 BOTTLE SERVICE CRITICS please!!! Thats what I say at least..... It's not worth it to appease them. There is no appeasing them to be honest.

sweetL 9:50 AM 26 February 2010

Preach up sniffles!

bandoma 4:44 PM 26 February 2010

don't worry sniffles...i won't hurt your feelings with my mainstream idealism..LOL

on the real though, i feel like i have no place on giving constructive feedback when I know nothing about producing.

its like some noob trying to teach me how to skratch when they don't know the difference between a chirp or a stab.

so like i said, ill just sit back, read, listen and practice.

CMOS 5:26 PM 26 February 2010

Just for that post, anything you post sniff ima say sucks. hehe.

You dont have to be a producer to critique music. You either like it or you dont. You will never put something out the pleases everyone. You just put it out and hope people like it.

DJ Sniffles 9:17 PM 26 February 2010

No I don't think you need to be a producer to critique music, I'm just saying, I've noticed a lot of tunnel vision on the forums. This is a good thread. All the right people here.

it's good that you record your songs a little quieter (around -3db to -6db)
that little bit of headroom is important.
then bump them up later with compressors/hard limiters.
(true mastering is still only done by a small number of competant professionals)

SuckaDJ 10:38 PM 28 February 2010

Hey fellas, not sure where to ask this but thought this might do.....

Looking at what you guys think is a good, industry standard-like technics, affordable (under 700) for recording. Just some basic brands and/or models and I'll research the rest but at this point, not sure where to start... thanks ahead of time!

O.B.1 11:13 PM 28 February 2010

presonus firepod is a great recording interface with 8 xlr mic preamp inputs.
there are also some nice, portable, stand-alone multi-tracks out there.
it really depends on what you plan on recording (a whole band vs. just vocals and beats)

So i have been messing around with logic for about 5 months. I have never done any productions at all, maybe some remixes here and there on ssl, i thought Logic Pro would be a nice play to start. This is my first finalized instrumental, i usually start and then erase whatever i have. I need some mixing adjustments before i record some vocals on it (not me, but a local artist here in Houston)
Enjoy and comments

This is REALLY good for only having been doing this for 5 months. Good work.

thanks AMF
my problem now is mastering and mixing, every time i load my track on serato the waveforms look so weak compare to other tracks, any mixing mastering software or hardware?anyone

What you're looking for is a limiter. It will make your music louder. What software are you using?

Not to put you off but I don't think its as simple an answer as it is for DJing. Djing is pretty much laptop, turntables or cdjs. Then when you look at each of those you have one industry player who runs things.

With production you have ITB (in the box) which is basically everything inside the computer or OTB (outside the box) which is you guessed it everything outside of the box. You then have a multitude of different options depending on what you want to produce, how you work and the sound you are trying to achieve.

I hate saying this as it sometimes gets mis-interpereted but I suggest narrowing down a list of some producers you consistently like and read up on what they use then read up on those products and what is similar in your budget range.

And just to confuse things more I'm using ''producer'' as its more commonly known these days. Eg; one guy making a beat/song for a singer/rapper/band etc.

CMOS 5:50 PM 3 March 2010

The funniest part of his question is he doesnt specify what the hell he even wants. He just wants some randon piece of industry standard gear. Does he want a Mic, does he want a preamp, does he want a DAW, an audio interface maybe?

I just came home to a nice royalty check from rumblefish for YouTube and Google usage. I'm getting thousand of views of songs that were used on a tv show that have been put up on YouTube. I hope you cats are taking care of your paperwork because it really does pay off. It takes a long time to happen but it does. Don't get me wrong I do this for the love of making music, but it's nice to get paid doing it so you buy more equipment.

the other track..is cool not my cup of tea

jfx316 7:33 AM 11 March 2010

I'm from the Dayton/Yellow Springs, OH area.

The "Shutdown" remix isn't going to be most people's cup of tea. It is really hard to get into. At the time, I was trying to keep it a 'rock' song while throwing in some DnB elements.

Thanks on the Madonna track. When I first did it, ALOT of people where bummed out about it not being 'dance' enough to play at their nights.

haha yeah i could see that, but its def. something i have never herd before, like i said very interesting. Is that type of music big in your city? (downtempo stuff)

jfx316 7:44 AM 11 March 2010

Not at all. Other then the small, but dedicated noise scene, electronic music isn't over here at all unless you're in an emo band and you have some guy hitting a Moog every third or fourth song.

I try to throw more down tempo stuff in when I DJ because it works with Dubstep and the live acapella remixes I do.

on the 1st track the drums were programmed (not sampled) but the orchestra was straight sampled off vinyl (I even added some static to make it sound extra gritty)

I took college piano lessons. Its very very very slow. You might be better off with private lessons. Anyways, if you have a big midi controller (at least 49 keys) you might be interested in this......

i left it there but i thought it sounded weird
soundcloud.com

DJ Sniffles 7:53 AM 21 May 2010

Here's one track i just started a couple of hours ago.

I know some of you are hyper critical so let it be known that midi on the synth is not quantized and some of the notes need to be extend

levels are wherever, and I didn't really mix anything down because I usually do that all at the end.

Aaaand the drums are a bit monotonous because they're there for reference at this stage right now. Once I'm done with my arrangements and melodies I'l go through and change up the drum patterns adding things in and taking things out every so often to keep it interesting.

Still got a ways to go.......

what makes techno techno?

That's a good question! I don't know the answer to be honest, I just know it when I hear it. Techno is a rawer sound, more electronic. Although I would say my track above was more 'tech house' than techno, because I think classic techno is much faster.

Might have to Google it ;-)

Maschine. Their new update is pretty dope and I find it pretty easy to work with.

I used to make techno and tech-house type stuff and kinda stopped back in 2007 with life getting pretty hectic. I've jumped around with a lot of different software and hardware, but my current arsenal includes NI Maschine, Logic Pro & Ableton 8. I've found that Ableton is actually the easiest of everything I've used.

Anyways, here's something I just made earlier tonight:

Smooth R&B type beat
soundcloud.com (The vocals over the hook are as a sample....not really meant to be there of course).

It's really my first attempt at trying to produce anything that is not considered house or techno. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Like what you've done with it Terrible1! Got good energy. Just be careful with those EQ's, that white noise can drown out the vocals. There's some useful youtube vids on how to play with EQ to make sure the vocals are clear.

very interesting, I wasn't sure how to feel it, until the snare came in, but after it dropped out it still made sense...

J0be 10:28 PM 7 September 2010

I totally know what you mean, once the snare drops, it gives you the rhythm, then when it leaves again the rhythm stays with you. Kinda

you need to do some major compression to each individual track and a lot of eq. It's very very low and the kick isn't "kicking"

If you did it in ableton, i can help you out

terrible1fi 6:43 AM 8 September 2010

jobe and sniffles, appreciate the feedback

like you guys recommended, I need to go back and eq it better. I'll look up some tutorials.

regarding if it was in ableton, it was done on reason, and when done, rewired into logic with heavy compression and limiter on the master out

DJ Sniffles 6:45 AM 8 September 2010

a limiter (or even good compression) on the master is good for bringing up overall volume but won't do shit if you didn't do a decent mix down.

terrible1fi 6:51 AM 8 September 2010

I see. definitely need to work on my eq'n and mix downs among other things. any tutorials you would recommend?

DJ Sniffles 6:52 AM 8 September 2010

Ummmm any eqing tutorials will do..... from there you can learn to cut frequencies (slightly).

Spectrum analysis is your friend

C. William 8:57 PM 9 September 2010

@jobe thanks man! i'm experimenting with all type of genre's right now

@djchope i'm guessing you mean the vox at the intro and/or break? to do that you just cut out a piece of a vocal you like and then load it into a sampler. i used ableton live's "sampler" for this effect. once it's in a sampler you can do all sorts of stuff with it (pitch it up/down, filter it, modify envelopes, etc)

When I get stuck on a beat and don't know what else to do with them I throw an accapella on them to get some ideas going. Here's an example of that. I didn't add any new ideas yet, I'm still just ridin around to this one letting it marinate.

It's too repetetive at the moment. What kind of track are you trying to make? To me it sounds like you're on your way to some kind of fidget/deep/dark house track. You need to lay it out properly so things are coming in after 4/8/16 beats and so it has a build up/beakdown.

wow the drums do sound somewhat similar. Although Jobe's track is way more laid back and put together well.
I hear what you're saying about build up and breakdown. But that's where I got stuck. This was just my first attempt, I'm going to re-arrange some things and try to take the song a little firther.

Ur totally right, my apologies.

I listened to

Back at you - Jobe / A really nice laid back vibe to it. Deffo feeling this one!!!

This is - Dysfunktion / more for the clubs than anywhere else, (not really my bag) but could deffo sell with a lil more work done on it.

Grapevine ray - Kyle Its very hard for me to comment on house & EDM in general as i dont listen to lots of it. Without meaning to sound like a douchebag, It sounds like a lot of the other EDM I hear which means ur prob along the right traack. Sorry I cant really be of much help.

Forgot about dre - d25e really really liked this, wanted to know if i can send this to a few dub step djs from my area???

cerebral - o.b.1 nice breaks, and some interesting vox @ the beginning of the track. Good job

O.B.1 10:59 PM 11 January 2011

no breaks were harmed in the making of that track!
-all programmed from scratch except the vox and stabs (hits) were sampled...

I like when it speeds up double time...

-maybe a little less hi-hat :)

thanks for input O B 1!

now, if i could only find the ableton session in my old hard drive :P

Hows it going guys!
Im about to drop a couple of tracks next week, but first i want your opinion on 1 song im stuck with.
Its a reggae/pop track. I produced the track and the vocals are from a very talented singer from Russia.
I really need your help on this one.
www.mediafire.com

I really like the major riff (4bar loop, 3qtrs way through) you have in there but the others don't work, seem repetetive and boring. Nice and upbeat though.

Actually, i'm using side-chaining compression with a muted kick drum on a white noise downsweep sample to get that pulsing sound. Lotta electro has been using the side-chain technique for years - it's a bit overdone, but still creates a nice effect...

dj_soo 10:44 PM 25 July 2011

also, it seems like the soundcloud processing is having an effect on the bass sound a bit - sounds a bit cleaner on the actual track...

neat trick

dj_soo 11:42 PM 25 July 2011

yea side chaining is great when used in moderation...

I also use it on my sub-bass and link it to the kick drum so that the kick comes through the sub a little bit better too... every track i make I learn something new and it's becoming a little easier to finish tracks quickly than before.

Would love to get to the point where I can start and finish a track in a couple days rather than a couple weeks...

+1, you can do so much with it to add variety to a track.

Quote:

It will probably never happen. Because if you are like most producers you're gonna keep listening repeatedly until you've made a ton of small tweaks to get that perfect sound.

dj_soo 9:26 PM 26 July 2011

It's more about getting a good workflow going and having a good set of presets to work with so you're not starting completely from scratch each time you sit down to work on a tune. I've finally created a good, workable template to start from and that's made a world of difference in getting tunes finished faster...

For me, once I can get into the "zone" working on a track it actually goes relatively quickly now (last track I managed to start and finish in 4 days) but it's being productive when you're not feeling creative that's the hard part for me...

dj_soo 9:27 PM 26 July 2011

granted - having deadlines helps a lot...

DJ Sniffles 2:56 PM 28 July 2011

dj_soo 8:00 PM 28 July 2011

CMOS 8:05 PM 28 July 2011

I picked up a video series of Ableton tutorials from the bowels of the web. Shit is mad informative. I constantly find myself fighting with Ableton to get it to do the things i want.

So for the next month im back in school, just on my couch and about a subject i actually wanna learn this time.

BattleFunk 8:05 PM 28 July 2011

that's a normal rack for me too - reverb with a sidechain on it on a send - just gentle enough to get the effect but not know where its coming from =)

Its nice to stick a sidechain on the hats as well to give them some extra movement =)

...or modulate the attack a bit so it shifts off just enough to get extra movement without being too noticeable

it's the little shifts that make all the difference and stops the monotony =)

dj_soo 8:10 PM 28 July 2011

I like throwing a subtle autopan and filter with a gentle Lfo on the hats to give some modulation. Never tried aidechaining my reverb before... Will have to try that on the track I'm working with.

BattleFunk 8:23 PM 28 July 2011

Quote:

a ghost kick (muted)

it pulls the reverb out of the way of the kick - clearing up the higher frequencies where the snap lives

dj_soo 8:39 PM 28 July 2011

good idea - gives the high hats a bit of pulse to it...

Another thing I've been doing is to stop quantizing my highhats that I drum out other than on the 1, unless it's really off-time.

Gives it more of a live swing to it... guess that works better if you're making funky beats tho...

CMOS 8:42 PM 28 July 2011

Ive been playing around with putting the built in Grooves onto my Midi tracks that i dont play live. They have some nice swing to em.

dj_soo 8:45 PM 28 July 2011

I like to extract grooves from some live breaks - i've had some luck with the grooves but I still don't really have a handle on exactly how it works...

If you're an Ableton user, see if you can find any Ableton Live User Groups in your area - www.ableton.com

I've been to a few and they're awesome - usually get at least one or two certified trainers running it and various guest speakers sharing tips and tricks and it's also a great chance to network and meet up with local producers...

CMOS 8:53 PM 28 July 2011

I just drag the groove onto the midi keyboard. Didnt know you could extract your own. See why i needed these videos.

If anyone is interested i got a bunch from Sonic Academy that deal with specific Live instruments and efx. Then i got a bunch more from MacProVideo that cover the Core of Live8, the core series is like 12 hours long.

dj_soo 8:57 PM 28 July 2011

if you right-click on an audio clip, you'll see an option to extract grooves. Then it will appear in your Groove template.

So if you're basing a track off a break or sample you can apply the swing and groove from that sample to the rest of your track... it's pretty nifty...

dj_soo 9:00 PM 28 July 2011

Also check out Vesper's tutorials on youtube:

www.youtube.com

he's the infamous dude who was doing the button "scratching" in this thread: serato.com

He's actually an Ableton certified trainer who is constantly putting out tutorial videos online. I don't particularly like his music at all, but his knowledge and tutorials are top-notch - I've learned a lot from those videos (and going to talks cause he lives in my city).

BattleFunk 9:25 PM 28 July 2011

I seriously wouldn't bother with Sonic academy, you do pick up little things from the videos, but watching them make a load of mistakes while searching around for different samples etc is really time wasting.

Groove3 and Macpro are really well put together though and worth sitting down with - I would recommend sitting with a note pad and taking notes as you watch

Tom Cosm is also worth a look at as well and teaches at a nice pace

With Grooves in Ableton I usually warp everything straight (select all and ctrl + U) and apply either the sp1200 grooves (16/58%) or the notator grooves (which is the Logic 16c etc groove that a lot of people use for house) afterwards, that way the full track sits together nicely

DJ Sniffles 1:00 AM 29 July 2011

I sidechain the source..... I put my reverb on a buss and throw sidechain compression on it from the thing I'm sending to that buss. There was a dub track I was working on that gave me the idea. I had this sound I made in operator (learn fm synthesis if you haven't....it's filthy) that sounded like a Godzilla growl haha. Well with the sidechain, the growl punched through really good with the reverb tailing behind as the sound ended. It had a really nice pump to it.

Another thing I do is put a crash on the kick (1,2,3,4) and put a very hard sidechain on it from the kick. I put a HPF on it so it's just the higher frquencies (white noise works too but I like the natural decay from a crash). I like the sound.... Usually I double the channels and but a slight timing delay and then hard pan for spatial widening.

dj_soo 1:47 AM 29 July 2011

i was doing that on some sounds for a bit but found that sometimes it can cause weird phasing issues - especially when played in mono which is what a lot of big EDM systems are often set to...

I guess I just have to remember to test the tune in mono as well as just stereo...

DJ Sniffles 1:49 AM 29 July 2011

You need to push your track delay way further!!!!!! If you're getting any phase, you're not going far enough! The doubling effect doesn't start till a lil past the phasing sound.

Width tricks...

Drop a simple delay on the track and set it to 1ms / 10ms (adjust to taste), 100% wet, no feedback - I have it set up this way as default to save having to set it up each time

Drop a Frequency Shifter on the track, click the 'Wide' button, adjust the Spread control (Max ~5 Hz) - I also set it this way as default

Double the track (if mono) and turn on the Track Delay (the 'D' to the right of the Master Volume) adjust 1 of the tracks by +/- ~10ms

To check for phasing throw a Utility on the 2 Bus and bring the Width down to 0% but remember to remove it once you've finished checking =)

I guess I just have to remember to test the tune in mono as well as just stereo...

Width tricks...

Seriously why not just duplicate a track and bring the track delay up to 80-90ms? By then you've passed phasing and with a hard pan you have a thick sound.

at 80+ms its no longer "wider", its hitting at a noticeably different time altogether, so when summed to mono, it'll cause flamming - and as he said he was doing edm, flamming wont sound good

Also, you must be using something other than Ableton, cos doing it your way would look like this...

1. right click, duplicate track
2. hard pan track 1 left
3. hard pan track 2 right
4. scroll to 80ms on track delay (if already active)

with simple delay it would look like this

1. double click simple delay
2. move on to next thing

I know I have mine set up to do that each time, but there's no way to set up the duplication process - you cant pre set a channel to duplicate and do the panning and then do the delay with a double-click using Live

You know what I like about music production? There's so many different ways to achieve the same end result each with their own subtle differences and textures.

From here: www.mombu.com

The general formula is:
BPMnew = BPMold * (2^(1/12))^(number of semitones up) or
BPMnew = BPMold *(1.059463094359295260)^(number of semitones up)

I think that lead synth seems to lag behind the kick drum a bit too much and it almost sounds off-beat. Nice work overall though.

after listening again, the dirty kick seems to sound a bit late - I will try adjusting it with the midi time-clock. thanks for the feedback...

J0be 11:14 PM 25 December 2011

crazy tune OB1! Careful with that bass, make sure it doesn't eat up the whole frequency spectrum! It can make the mids and trebles sound muddy. Interesting track though :)

J0be 11:14 PM 25 December 2011

Christmas Day has been very productive! I made this, however I'm at my parents house, and they don't have speakers, so this was made entirely through tiny earphones. Dying to know if the levels, bass/kick etc are right before I throw it out there.

Can anyone assist!? I dont get back to London until New Year

Anyone have recommendations on external sound cards? Probably picking up the Apogee Duet 2 because I tend to pick up expensive pretty things with good reviews...

Tons of ins and outs, amazing sound, low latency and een functions as a standalone mixer...

-it sounds very clean, with a nice progression to the bass melody...
...however that wasn't the first time you've warned me about my bass frequency levels, so I shouldn't advise you about yours! *as I dont really have "proper" studio monitors - which may be a direct result of my overly bass-heavy production, but thanks again for the constructive criticism...

That and when you mix down make sure you eq everything. Cut out or boost certain frequencies so each sound fits in the mix.

J0be - track sounds dope and the overall mix is very clean. Here are my suggestions.

1) I think the kick needs more ummph!
2)The acidy bass sounds a wee bit too loud.

That's it. Happy New Year mate!

Love the production! Although I see why you have the samples there, my personal preference would be fewer or none of the samples starting with the Ying Yang Twins.

dj_soo 8:53 PM 7 January 2012

yea they are a little overdone, but for the genre i'm kind of working in, it's sort of the norm...

You should have heard what I had in there before :)

C. William 2:58 PM 27 January 2012

It's been a while but I've been producing local artists in Atlanta that nobody knows lol, so I haven't had anything to post. I managed to find some time to do a remix of Rihanna's "You Da One". I'd love to see what you guys think of it.

I think the first time I posted in here about my interest in learning how to produce was a few years ago.

Fast forward to today - after two years in front of ableton and a year of piano lessons, I'm finally ready to share some of my tracks. I partnered up with one of my dj homies and we formed a group called Shoe Scene Symphony.

The first track I'm going to post here is a remix to Flo Rida's and Sia's "Wild Ones". We loved Sia's vocals so we decided to build the track around her and left out Flo Rida. I've played it at a few of my gigs and it seems to be working since the radio has been playing this song in my area.

Check it out:

soundcloud.com

The second track I'm going to post is an original track we call "The Innovator." We both like progressive house and electro so we attempted to combine the two in this song.

Here's my latest done with my longtime dj partner.

funny, we've been djing, making mixtapes and throwing events for almost 8 years (and have both been independently producing music) but this is the first tune we've actually finished together.

soundcloud.com

apologies for the clip nature, but I've been hearing too much about people just recording tunes off soundcloud so I had to go this route as it's being released on Juno soon...
