Look, it can't just be me posting Lake Radio's music forever. We need more people posting self-created music from this community. Please post How tos below for instruments and programs that helped you learn.
People don't want to dox themselves which is probably why people aren't posting their stuff on here. That's why I removed all of my stuff.
PM me on discord or somewhere easier to make throwaways, I'll post any music here anonymously. I think my tumblr accepts anon so you could say "post this on hb: {soundcloud or youtube link}"
This is something that would be really nice if hexbear could host for c/music. Some kind of automated submission system that requires you to be logged in with an old hexbear account but doesn't record the submitter.
Is your tumblr name the same as your user name? I don't have your discord so I can't message you on that
People on /my/ used to get around this by posting to vocaroo since it auto deletes after awhile.
You put bleeps and bloops one after the other.
The real lesson is getting you back to your projects
I have sooooooo many incomplete projects i “promised myself i’d get back to”
This includes the voice, provided you actually take it seriously and start spending an hour a day on The Vaccai or something.
Yung Chomsky is amazing with the synth stuff and kind of inspires me to want to try it but it seems like a ton of equipment to learn
Your homework assignment is to find one audio editing instructional manual for us, preferably in video form. Hop to it!
Most vst plugins can easily be pirated from here: audioz.download (get an adblock)
first I check splice.net what new out there and if it interesting I get it (splice is paid but you don't have to get it from there)
Also if you want to know how analog synths work this is one of the best instruction vids out there IMO https://youtu.be/atvtBE6t48M
Post a music program and I will shit out a tune 1 week from now for free :cat-vibing:
Throwing it out there that this couldn't be better timed since I just redownloaded fl studio two days ago.
I'll post some spooky toons once I get a handle on it again
I'm still using cubase 5. I learned on it 10 years ago and it seems to still do the job for me.
My partner uses the program Reaper which is basically free - I think after a couple months of trial use you have to wait 5 seconds on startup to click 'continue trial'
We've both been into these LABS vst instruments for a bit - great strings, horns, some good keyboards. You gotta download their downloader to access them but once you've done that, no need to open it ever again.
Here's a track I made with some LABS instruments (Vocals take me forever so this might just be it lol)
I really enjoyed underbelly's you suck at producing lots of content and it's pretty fun to watch. Check out Adam Neely on youtube for some amazing music theory stuff. Just all around inspiring dude. He also does streams where you get to see him use ableton pretty dang well.
ooo the labs drums sound nice. My biggest difficulty has been making drum beats and fills and having a/b sections so that I can reliably track bass/guitar over it.
I've basically just used audacity but I use live instruments and am pretty light on production. I have a good quality floor mic. I'll usually start with drums and bass and work my way out from that. I'll either go track by track or sometimes I'll do it live by recording drums, playing the drums back over a stereo super loud while recording bass and so on. I do things really fucking weird and it's more industrial/noise kinda stuff
Oh yeah, if you're not doing anything fancy it's fine. I'm just syncing tracks and EQing usually. I do my effects live with pedals for the most part. Anything fancier would be pointless.
I haven't done any music myself, but I read a blog series a while back, "Bad and Wrong Music Lessons". The author is a complete amateur with no musical education, but he starts working with a DAW and goes through his process and what he learned. It was a pretty interesting perspective, and I guess it could be kind of inspiring for people who feel too intimidated to get into making music.
The problem is that I’m composing music. I’d write about music, but I don’t know anything about music. Sure, I made some music, but that’s mostly because I am a hard-working and resourceful idiot, not because I have any musical talent. ... Since I can’t share my knowledge with you, I’ll have to share my ignorance. Let me tell you about all the things I don’t know about music. Or to be more precise, all the things I think I know but are most likely profoundly, dangerously wrong.

The first entry is technically https://www.shamusyoung.com/twentysidedtale/?p=24037 which introduces the DAW itself, and then it goes into the series proper https://www.shamusyoung.com/twentysidedtale/?p=24042
Just compress everything to shit and then side chain the master to the 808
I'm trying to learn music production when I have the time, but it's like...a lot to learn. I really want to create my own synthwave, and have other people give it a listen.
Best thing to do is just dive in. You really don't need to have any clue what you're doing to still make good tunes.
Syntorial and their other software are very useful. Syntorial is a guide to synthesizers and Audio Genius is for overall song creation
