Inspired by Koan Sound I wanted to record some double bass and get creative with it. Fortunately, I have a very old and kind of broken double bass at home. However, I have no idea how to play it properly and decided instead of trying to play it how it is supposed to be played, record a bunch of sounds & noises (I apologized to the double bass afterwards) and try to arrange them into something afterwards. This is the result. It's not perfect but I am fairly happy with it. :)

What I took away from this project: Starting with a few samples can really spark creativity for me. I would have never come up with this on a blank canvas. Listening to the double bass recordings I noticed variations in volume/articulation/... which gave me ideas where to place percussion and other accents. Then the track built itself from there.

Let me know what you think!

I searching for a native OTT alternative for Linux some one can recommend something ?

This is one of the tracks that I made for the video game project I'm working on. I'm still a beginner in music though. So I believe it might sound bad. I think volume balancing could use some polish.

I've been using machine learning to separate the music from the soundtrack of the 2001 film Osmosis Jones. Using selective muting and many, many spectral edits, I've extracted around 20 songs so far.

There will be artifacts, but it's the best that can I can do with the sources and tech I have.

Hey there! I just found a very nice offer for the 4i4 audio interface. Do I understand correctly, that there are 3 differen audio outputs that I can rout to? So main1 and main2 and headphones? I would like to route my Ableton headphones out (what gets played when selecting instruments and stuff like that) to the actual headphones channel instead of the main out?

Thanks a lot in advance, happy producing!

A dark instrumental piece I wrote and performed.

Mix of orchestra, guitar and Piano.

Sorry if it looks like promote. Just a song I wanted to share

Hi, I create videos to educate others on living more with nature instead of from nature. Anyway, I currently pay for Epidemic Sound. I only use the songs from a single band for all of my videos. So, Epidemic Sound is getting a lot of money for a dozen songs from the same band.

I'd rather pay the artists for their work than Epidemic Sound. But I don't know where to start. I'd like to find something like the songs by Wanderer's Trove to use for my videos. I don't mind paying as much as I do with ES. I'd just rather it go to the artist than a corporation. Any advice on how to find such songs without going for a subscription?

Thank you!

PS: I really hope this is the right community for this question. I don't know much about music or music production at all.

There seems to be a lot of AI audio tools; anyone try them for audio isolation? My usecase is separating a song from a 5.1 movie mix, there's a great remix of Hot Blooded I wanna preserve

How many unfinished tracks do you have knocking around on a hard drive somewhere? I was just looking through a big folder of 150 that I organized into one folder like 5 years ago. I don't know what the true total is. Anyone else find this super overwhelming haha? I'm maybe just gonna dump it on the public like Mac Demarco lol

Thanks for checking it out!

I was recently listening to music while in a conference call with my headphones, and I noticed that they changed to a "hands-free mode" and the music that I was listening to degraded to something that sounded like elevator music. Is there a way to apply this to any song that I have a file for?

I'm pretty new to creating synth patches, but I learn best by experimenting and trying to reproduce things I know I like.

A conversation popped up on another platform about the role of AI in music production, generally as its used in the mastering process. Now I'm not sure how much AI that actually involves and see it more as a set of rules that will map your song or music to a contemporary 'good mix'... basically control the EQ, RMS peak and LUFS. Things like this are becoming more and more prominent on music histinf sites.

I do use AI in some processing as I use software like Steinberg's SpectraLayers to 'un-layer' and un-mix tonal qualities, and so on but I don't use it in mastering. I do that the old fashioned way.

Your thoughts..? Yay or nay..?

This is proving to be a fascinating combination. Next step will be to bounce the Morphagene output back into the PT Mini for further resampling. Rinse and repeat until I get white noise. 😁

I’m struggling to pan the chorus of my song. It only has drums, bass, one slightly distorted guitar and a lead vocal.

The drums have a nice default panning spread from L-R in the DAW I’m using (Logic). But the convention I’m reading online recommends putting bass and vocal in the centre.

My question is, what do I do with the guitar, which is just playing a power chord at the beginning of each bar.

I like songs that fill the stereo spectrum but due to the composition, this one seems narrow by comparison.

I’ve read about stereo expanders but I’m not sure when to sure them. I was also thinking that I could somehow split the guitar into two tracks by frequency and pan those differently. Not sure how to go about that yet and then not sure if I would need to do the same for vocals in that case.

Any suggestions on how to make the mix a bit more exciting without changing the composition ?

I've got a Firestudio 26x26 I'm trying to get audio from. Any advice or tips would appreciated.

i want to make a synth that makes a meow sound to any audio input going through it like how native instruments massive works but foss

I love Ardour so much

Bitwig and Presonus just released an open source exchange format between DAW. It would even transfer automation data which seemed to be until now a pain point. I think it's a good thing to be able to collaborate with other musicians easily.

So what do you guys think?

Okay, so this isn't a production software question, but I don't know where else to ask. I am looking for a replacement for Thimeo SteroTool. I LOVE this VST processor, but at €385 with the declipper, delossifier, and dynamic EQ options, it's a real serious dent in my budget.

Is there anything remotely close in the FOSS space at a more reasonable price point?

Arturia added another classic emulation to their product list, Acid V, a 303 clone.

Any seasoned Arturia users, do you think this will get added to the next Analog Lab bundle? I wonder how often they rev that.

Welcome the Mixxx release version 2.3.6, the final maintenance release before releasing the upcoming 2.4.0 with exiting new features.

Software Freedom Day is trying to increase awareness about their annual worldwide event and about Free and Open Software in general through an original music competition. Please spread the word. Hope some of you will enter.

My OS and software are on a 2280 nvme 1TB drive. I'm thinking of installing a 2nd m.2 2242 drive in the wwan slot (it does work on my laptop) and putting my drum samples on that.

My question is, would this increase performance?

!

Excited to announce my first #VST plugin : emulation of a Neve console strip.

Format #VST3 (WIN), #AU (MAC-intel), Free to use (CC/BY/ND)

A smooth progressive saturation with built-in oversampling, coupled with a finely tuned filter section which response carefully matches original console character.

Perfect on drum kits, basslines, or to push some smooth saturated 12k Air on vocals.

I'm trying out this new content format. Please let me know what you think :)

I've got an unusual problem. Previously I would have asked Reddit, but screw them. Please let me know if this isn't an appropriate usage of Lemmy or this... Sub-Lemmy? Anyway I've got an XDJ-RR that originally had been connected directly to our Sony receiver via RCA jacks on both devices. Audio was really good and it might clip if the levels were pushed to the extreme on the decks, but was controllable. Now we've connected the decks to an M-Audio Air 192 6 and run the audio through the computer using the XLR jacks on both devices. Now every sound from the decks wants to clip and the audio interface level meters are showing clipping. I've got the input turned all the way down to 1 on the M-Audio interface and we have to keep the master on the decks well more than halfway to negative infinity. The master level meters on the decks barely register. Some things I'm considering:

1. The RCA outputs on the decks run through a compressor for the basic removed while the XLR outs are raw and I'm expected to know how to deal with it.
2. My XLR cables are too low resistance. I bought these years ago for microphone recording. They're Mogami neglex 2549 microphone cables.
3. Either the XDJ-RR or M-Audio Air 192 6 are defective.
4. There's a setting on the computer I could find to turn down the input gains aside from the the knobs provided on the M-Audio Air.
5. ???

Some more Notes: I'm using QJackCtl with Carla on the computer. Mostly we just patch the inputs to the outputs of the audio interface to play, but will also patch into OBS Studio for twitch streaming or Ardour for recording. Even though we keep the input gains pegged at the bottom, the main output knob is kept maxed out. Turning it down didn't help with the clipping but brought the ouptut levels down unnecessarily.
