And if you choose the small artist with good music you can't improve your notoriety. Small artist is the biggest you're allowed to be.

Internet was out all morning so I got a track done... I never think about it, but production doesn't need the Internet, cool. Still loving JE-8086, but I didn't use Pure Sub with it for this one.

Bit of a specific one, but does anyone have any experience with Qube London as a music producer? Online info is sparse and mostly sourced from their website. Not sure what to make of it.

Is it worth the membership fees? Are the studios legit? Are there actually any worthwhile events for members?

Any real experiences would be extremely helpful

Okay so hear me out… maybe it’s because of my lack of experience, but when I produce at home I can get performances that are much more intimate, record the same verse a billion times until I get the perfect sound that I want without worrying about how much money I’m spending per hour, I can take my time and try new things… I don’t know. With today’s technology and hardware I can get REALLY good takes at home. For the longest time I forced myself to go to more professional studios with better mics or whatever, but even though my voice sounds “cleaner”, the performance seems to be more dull. Also recording at home is free.

Where I do like going to studios is if I need to record drums. But even guitars or bass or other instruments I can get a pretty good sound at home. Idk, maybe home studio is just the way for me?

I've been producing music for a long time and this problem has always bothered me. every time i boot up a midi, it just turns into a guessing game. just drawing notes on scale and hoping they sound good. It feels way too random and i don't feel like improving at all doing this.

I have heard advises like "keep practicing and you will get good at it". To this day I still feel like I'm as good at making melodies i was two year ago. Just clicking notes and hoping it sounds good. I want to get better at writing good melodies! and clicking notes here and there feels so luck based. i want practical advice! pls avoid the practice one!

I am just too broke to afford any DAW? Should I try the cakewalk subscription based DAW? It's not cheap but still cheaper than other daws or should I try FL studio mobile on PC which I have and been playing around with it.

lately i have been wanting to make pop songs with more of an organic feel (idk if thats the word), but i've been finding it hard to get drum sounds that help me archieve that. For reference, i have been inspired by this new troye sivan song, and carly rae jepsen's new album (this type of sound)

What can help me archieve something that, more or less, sounds like that without using actual drums?

Hey, I need some help identifying the instruments used in the outro of this song 2:25 https://youtu.be/eIRBkruadGo?si=1p9C25fTLCfwJNt_&t=146

I suspect its some kind of a midi of an electric string instrument like a violin and then some heavily processed keys.

Does anyone know of some good midi/library that could replicate the outro?

I’ve been making beats for about a year and a half, and I feel like I’ve gotten pretty decent at it. I’ve learned piano and spent a lot of time developing my production skills. My goal has always been to become a sort of one man army, capable of creating music from the ground up and developing a sound that’s uniquely mine.

The problem is that I have no idea how to turn my instrumentals into actual songs.

Whenever I sit down to write or record vocals, I get stuck. I don’t know what to sing about, how to approach melodies, or how to articulate what I want to express. I’ve become so focused on making my instrumentals sound good on their own that I struggle to figure out where vocals fit into the picture.

Recording and mixing is another issue. I have a Rode condenser mic, but my vocals always seem to come out distorted, choppy, muddy, or just bad in general. I’ve watched countless tutorials, but everyone seems to have a different approach, and the endless plugins and techniques are becoming overwhelming.
Honestly, I feel like I’m lacking direction. I want to develop my own identity as an artist, not just as a producer, but I’m not sure what to focus on or where to start.

For those of you who started as beatmakers and eventually learned to make complete songs, how did you make that transition?

How did you learn to write lyrics, find melodies, record and mix vocals, and develop your identity as an artist? Did you approach everything at once or focus on one skill at a time?

I’m willing to put in the work, I just feel a little lost on what that work should look like. I’d appreciate any advice or personal experiences that might help me find my footing.

hi, i'm searching for a gift and know very little about music production. my husband is a guitarist and a producer. uses ableton. my budget is like 70$ max so i don't make him feel guilty about me spending too much money.

i'm thinking of a fun gadget rather than something advanced. or a gift card, but i have no idea if any store has them. please help me, you can also just share what'd you be happy about as a gift. i know these things are generally better when you can pick it yourself🤣

When I produce drums I rarely feel that they make me completely groove. I usually record them on drumpad so they sound more human with varied velocities and timing. Obviously being a great drummer helps but even more electronic producers sometimes manage to do it really well, and I'm pretty sure they don't hire drummers.

What are your tips to make drums "groovy" ? By groovy i simply mean that they make you move your head to it

Hello, I need to mix some live recordings for school. Would anyone havr any that need mixing or some raw tracks that I can mix, or does anyone know where I can find any? It would be free as its for my class

First of all, I absolutely hate what they did to Audacity.. the new UI is yucky. I installed an older version because i seriously couldn't stand staring at the new UI anymore.

Second: I don't get why Reapers ui gets so much shit for beeing ugly, yeah it's hard to navigate at times but it's got a charm to it, y'know?

I personally can't work in a DAW like Ableton or Bitwig, for me they both have this problem were they look too modern and bland, it's just very uninspiring.

I think the best looking DAWS are; Reaper, Luna, Reason and ofc Pro Tools, because the devs weren't obsessed with making everything look so clean and putting rounded edges on everything.

Hello everyone first time poster here, there’s this song I’ve been really into called “knots” by Matt Proxy and in the song at the 15 second mark an 808 comes in that I’ve been trying to replicate but I can’t seem to get it. Sounds like some kind of stereo widening or phaser but I would love to get any help or opinions on how to replicate it. Thanks!

Does anyone know how the indie artists like overtonight and s0rrow and stuff get their guitar chords that are looping in the background?

I’m trying to edit the signal of a specific track to be pitched down. However, it kills a lot of its character in the process. Native plugin editing doesn’t help.

Anybody know any free Vox plugins that fit these parameters? Just want to pitch down a track but the voice’s character (qualities that make it that specific voice) still be audible. The voice I’m starting with is already pretty deep (very dark colored female voice, singing in the F2-B3 range).

Specifically looking for AAU, but could also use VS2/VS3.

So a friend of mine is working on a HUGE project, and we lowkey need someone thats good with music production programs that would be down to 1 make the score for it and be able to slap their name on something worthwhile!

If anyone is down please let me know!

So yeah my original mackie cr1604 has finally bit the bullet, I love this desk the preamps combined with my EMU are just perfect sadly not a single one is on sale online like not one…

Any recommendations for a desk of similar disgusting grit? DnB producer if that helps :/ let me know

Hi everyone. I'm about to upgrade my home studio set. So I need a new mic and I thought about everyone loved sm58 but it's $200 priced in my country.. Recently I saw a rode pod mic xlr version which is much cheaper than sm58 and sounds great to my ears so what do you think guys??

So I'm a beginner and I used a few recognizable sound effects in a beat and I am asking y'all if I'll get in trouble for uploading it. Didn't use much but DID use the rizz sound effect, as well as gah dayum and that one anime waowww. I only used each of them once

Hi everyone i used to share my sisters rhodes NT2-A condenser microphone but she has moved out and took the mic with her so now I need of a new microphone

I've heard that dynamic mics are good for untreated rooms but I've always been used to using a condenser, i'd something that can record good vocals with equal balance across the EQ

what do you guys recommend?

heyy, i recently have listened to rest in bass by che, and i absoulte love it, for people who usually make that type of rage, could you give me suggenstions? Ive been producing for 3 months and im searching for a specific genre to do, i know that che's style is kinda hard maybee... but i really want to get into it, the problem is that, all of the videos about che's style is just people doing a beat (without giving advice. I think that saying that che has a powered style is not a real advice, innit?) i know my question its kinda dumb, bc im trying to learn how to make beats like one of the most unique artists among the wave the wave of rage rappers currently emerging, with only 3 months in it, I'd appreciate it if you could help me out
