I’ve been fascinated with sampling for a while now, and I’ve finally decided to bite the bullet and start doing it myself, but I wanted to know what free software is the best for someone just starting.

does anyone know any good saturation plugins that are really good for rap vocals? like nettspend, playboi carti type vocals. anything helps. thanks!

Hello everyone, I just wanted to come here and say I've made a VST and just wanted to provide this VST as an alternative to things like Vital or Serum 2 that is entirely free. I was just wondering if you guys were interested in using this VST. I call it the Synthesis R9

will my song get taken down if my song includes samples from monetized youtube videos?(my song wont be monetized)

I wanted to finally start doing music production for money. I've been acared to start for over 2 years and I finally have the courage to start.

So my current setup which I’ve been using for about 10 years now is an AT2020 mic with the Scarlett solo and ATH-m40x headphones but my dream setup has always been a u87 mic but I’ll probably settle for a tlm-103 mic with an Apollo twin x interface and maybe the beyerdynamics Dt-990 pro headphones, I make enough money to finally afford them but my question is to anyone with experience using that setup or something similar, is it worth the money and will the recording quality be something drastically noticeable?

I’m not sure if this is the right page or not but I wanted to ask about where or who I can ask about help recreating some guitar loops I made. Like composing or making them into full tracks. When I first started learning guitar I apparently had some crazy creative motivation and then I kind of stopped playing for a while and don’t have that spark anymore. I still have a bunch of loops saved on my pedal though and I have enough I could lowkey make an ep or something if I made them into a full track each and I was wondering where I could find someone to help or pay to do that.

How do you mix in Atmos?
I don’t have the equipment, but at some point I really want to.
Do you first mix in stereo and then make a second mix for Atmos?
Do you then not just change the placement but also the EQ for example, since you have to make less room through frequency separation?

Hey, I'm looking to upgrade my current audio interface (scarlet 4thgen solo) with something better and looking for something that is good for recording guitar (7/8 string) and is great for mixing complex project in a DAW.

So far I'm thinking about Apollo solo usb, but the preamp and it's ecosystem is something I don't care for. Other option was RME Babyface but that is a bit pricey and looks fucking stupid.

Any other recommendations?

Hi! I'm looking for a first midi instrument. I love the sound of the omnichord but I don't even have a midi keyboard. Would it be better to start off with a midi keyboard? Does the omnichord work well as a midi? I'm a harpist so I thought my music would translate better with an omnichord.

Thank you!

I think I have an ear for most things musically, I think I understand melody and harmony, and I have a good sense of rhythm. The one thing I can not hear for the life of me is drums. I seriously can’t really hear a difference between one set of drums vs another, but whenever I show a piece of music all anyone says is “the drums are wrong.” The other thing is I really don’t care enough to become attuned to drums, at least not yet. My question is, what is THE drum sound right now? The one that, if I put it in my music, no matter what genre, it will work? And if there is none, what is the most versatile one? Don’t ask me what I’m making, it’s none of your business.

I’ve always been interested in music production for indie video games. I’ve made some music for a very small project that never got its feet off the ground. I want to get into contact with a developer, and see if I can make music for games.

I just have no idea how to start?

Thanks.

Looking for a music production mentor, I've been working hard for many years but feel lost and clueless what to work on / improve, what steps to take to better my career, anyone willing to help?

Too many duplicate samples

Over the years my sample library has grown immensely. And there are many duplicate samples. But I don't want to delete them since they all might be used in some project.

Do you know this problem?

How do you deal with that?

Every time I record vocals, no matter how many effects I give it, it still sounds like a karaoke version and not an actual lead vocal in a real song, so I was wondering how other people go about recording vocals. What techniques do you do when recording so you end up with a clean raw vocal? Does it matter how far away you have to be on the mic? And how do you guys go about mastering vocals so it sounds full and not drowned out by the instruments?
