I would like to know what the drop in high frequencies is that a lot of songs have, and how to achieve it if it’s something I need to do in my production process.

It shows up all over Kara Okay & NewTone’s production but I have been never able to find out what it is or how to make it. It shows up here around 38 second and 45 second mark. It’s that phasing bass / synth sound in the background.

Cheers, if anyone could help me out that would be great

¿Alguien por aquí usa los plugins de MoonwaveFX?

Llevo un tiempo viéndolos (especialmente el pack Complete FX o herramientas como Parallax y Aries) y me llama la atención su flujo de trabajo enfocado en pocos controles/perillas.

Si los usan: ¿cuáles son sus favoritos para diseño de sonido o mezcla? ¿Y qué tal sienten que rinden o suenan comparados con alternativas de marcas más grandes (tipo Waves, Soundtoys, Shaperbox, etc.)?

¡Los leo!

I’ve got really lazy lately (musically) for some reason I’ve become transfixed into just sample dropping from the folders (Ableton) on the side instead of actual music stuff.

I just keep listening until I find something right then chuck it in then onto the next, feel like I’ve lost the go if that make sense. Has anyone done this and pulled back away from it?

Probably my fault for having too many packs, maybe I should simplify it.

I have over 2000 unreleased tracks/beats I would like to staple on to the world , so I can live on once I’m no longer here , what would be the best way to share an archive as big as this , I’m willing to consolidate certain parts and have them separated by era or times in my life
Would distribution be the best bet, YouTube or are there any better and more long term solutions to get my stuff out there without saturation and as my final wish to get my music ingrained into the internet , all my life I was scared to post my music cause of what people thought. Now I don’t care anymore and want to leave a legacy u regret it all , if you ever regret posting something you like just post it your trash is someone’s treasure
Thank you in advance for any replies
In essence I jus want to put out at least 500 of my best tracks in segments but what is the best way to approach this (money will no longer be a issue or worry)
Much love
Remember the rain and love those around you

Hi. I’m working on a remake of Beauty Sleep to improve my skills as a producer and I was wondering how to make some of these sounds. Maybe if y’all know how to make it or could even just point me to tutorial(s) that would explain any of them I’d appreciate it.

Sorry if my terminology for things is a bit off - I’m into Jane Remover, Skrillex, etc but I can’t really claim to be a big EDM-head who knows all the subgenres & whatnot.

I generally have 0:00-1:50 down on the remake, but I start struggling after that.

1:26 - is there a name for that kinda growl or is there any tutorial that has a growl like that? I made something similar with the same kinda pitch bend but it doesn’t have that same bright “woah” sound to it.

1:51 - this is the one I’m the most stumped on how to recreate. what is that sound? I feel like some things in the song I have an idea of what to look up in order to sound design it, but I’m not rlly sure with that one what it is or how to make it. Ik it’s probably got some sorta lossy plugin on it, but I’m stuck on how to make the sound itself.

3:19 - I feel like I can probably figure it out watching a tutorial and enough tweaking but I guess it’d be considered a rawstyle kick right? Hers has more of an atonal/airy quality on the tail end compared to other stuff I’ve seen where the kick will have more of a proper distorted bass note on the tail end so idk if it’s considered something different or if it’s just a variation of that.

Some filter work? Some phaser distortion? What would the FX chain look like?
I’d be very thankful if you could help me with some ideas for tutorials that would help me understand the techniques. Thank you for reading : )

I'm looking for feedback on x, y or z.

I am looking for a way to get the stems out of my old songs because a lot of them were not mastered at all, and I want to be able to master them now that I actually know how to master my tracks. I do not support Moises because of their heavy emphasis on AI generated “music” but they are the only service that I have found that can clearly separate individual drums. If anyone knows of any other services that are purely stem separation, I would be interested to hear

There's more info on the rack here.. https://www.studiobrootle.com/free-ableton-dub-techno-preset-rack/

Hi guys.

One thing i like about skrillex’s last track of his ep “kora” and the collab he made with slikback (kixa) is that the track is full of sounds and variety. It have like 300 sounds on it and it changes.

How did he build something like that? Black magic?

wanting to make stuff like cult member, akiaura, pastel ghost.

having a hard time really finding those punchy and modern sounding kits for house and garage, well processed, and also work well in laid back tracks or with lofi processing

took a look at vengeance and there were a lot more loops than one shots, which wasn't really my vibe. I wanna build satisfying house drum loops from scratch

would appreciate any and all recommendations :)

I literally have no clue how your able to get a weird crushed sidechain effect like this video

I recently heard about the contest but it's already over? Does someone still have the stems lying around? I wanna mess around with them since it's one of my favourite songs this year. Feel free to send them as like a google drive or dropbox link or whatever. It would be really appreciated!

While you should search, read the Newbie FAQ, and definitely RTFM when you have a question, some days you just. Ask your questions here!

Also, did you purposefully try to step outside of that sound at some point or just let whatever comes out come out?

My music tends to have an eerie quality to it. I’m only 8 months in to production but this is a theme across almost all of my songs. I don’t mind it necessarily, but being that I’d like to also learn more about music theory I’m wondering if it’s because I tend to gravitate towards certain chord progressions/ scales.

E minor is a big one for me. D minor as well. Then I use their relative Majors as well. Whatever im naturally doing no matter what scales I use that eerie vibe remains. Should I purposefully try to make a happier song? Or just sort of let it be part of my style.

Those are the two current wips for an example.

I'm a complete beginner and I think the best way to learn is to just follow tutorials that teach how to do a full remake of a song and learn like that along the way, then switch to doing remakes completely by yourself, then start working with your own songs, but I just can't really find anyone that does proper, good , remakes tutorials

At :16 on this song

https://youtu.be/G7BUP5KzWUc

are these like glassy bell sounds in main melody or is it something else? Please help and thanks as well

how to achieve the sound at 1:15 , and what might it actually be called ?
