i remember that thread but it was a long time ago and musics were only being posted on the end of it.
so why there is no merit posting them here when drawings and writings are posted here a lot? the only explanation would be there is a better place to post them.
what would be that? is it some "musician profile" like soundcloud or some other imageboard dedicated to this?

Yes I've made some tracks I mostly just experiment with styles as I haven't found my muse and sadly my HDD died recently making lose 85% of my music but I do have three songs I'm willing to post - one of which is incomplete.
This is the incomplete one I never finished the vocals or BPM/tempo shifting.
Kinda has a bouncy house vibe I guess.
https://files.catbox.moe/lajdmj.mp3 This is me messing around with the song Tong City from the Run Saber SNES OST.
https://files.catbox.moe/8byoja.mp3 Lastly a turntable style mix of four different GOA songs with some embarrassing miss timings. The four songs being:
Horus The Chorus - Infected Mushrooms
90 Million Degrees - GMS and Upgrade
LSD - 1200 Micrograms
The fourth is a surprise I'm sure quite a few will recognise this anime OP

>Was any samples from existing music used in this? The Racing Lagoon OST? The downtempo and drum and bass tracks very much use samples. They're genres that rely heavily on taking the percussion of other tracks and either keeping them as is or reshaping them into new rhythmic elements through various modifications like cutting and splicing.

Sorry to make a giant blogpost, but I think that sound editing is its own thing within that context. "Sound Design and Synth Fundamentals" by In The Mix /playlist?list=PLx5i827-FDqNY_grenYJZJpG1esu7GK6v seems like a good series on the topic~I don't know why, but I get the impression that many of these producers (?) of electronic dance music are more the 'audio engineer' type than the 'composer' type. I don't mean to say that they're uncreative, because all this stacking/blending of sounds is really cool, and you can tell he put a lot of effort into his sounds (maybe he just knows his presets well, but good choice nonetheless). Instead, it almost feels like the entire creative exercise of the song is in the sounds. His chord progression is very simple (Abmaj7 Eb Bb Cm, turnaround etc.), his structure is just a constant buildup (that would in principle have lead to a breakdown), and his melody is just an Eb pentatonic lick with variations and some passing tones here and there. With more "mundane" sounds instead of what he uses, it would all sound like the music you'd expect to hear in a cheesy ad for an investing app (not that there's anything wrong with that?), and yet he doesn't seem to include explicit justification for his choice of sounds. From what I can gather, the way he structures his stuff seems very similar to what he presents in this video. Having seen a few things on his YT channel, I wager that he makes many of his tracks (and their chords/notes) according to the formula he presents in the tutorial. All of this leads me to believe that the 'sound design' part and the 'arrangement' part of his craft could be considered two different exercises, like you don't even do them in the same sitting. I'm a complete noob at this kind of music (having tried and failed too many times to bother nowadays), but I'm willing to bet he doesn't actually design his sounds on the spot, right as he makes the tune -- I think he designs them beforehand, in an unrelated session, then saves his work as presets. (or maybe he just has lots of cracked sample sets/rich parents and synths that ship with good presets) On the other hand, his habit of layering sounds is probably a way to get around having to work so much within the limitations of each synth he uses, like an easy way to build his sounds from components (some with more of a low sound, others with more treble, etc.). In Ableton, for example, you can keep things like that organized in an "instrument rack", so you can save stacks of sounds for later use. In any case, there are tutorials on YouTube just for sound design, some that go into great detail without saying much about songs/theory at all depite their apparent target audience (music creators), so I think I'm justified in thinking the way I do about this categorization.
Anonymous 09/02/21 (Thu) 05:05:09 No. 77688 >>77690
I dunno what you mean by 'audio engineer' and 'composer'. Even the romantic composers of old were working on instrumentation as well as composition. Some things sound better with different instruments. An electronic artist is the same, but there's much more complexity to it than picking something from a set of existing sounds.

>>77688 That's true, I hadn't thought of that. I guess it's like guitarists dialing the right tone for the right setting. You can't play metal on a tweedy amp from the 50s, or Debussy on a harpsichord, without it sounding off in a way. Even playing around on a synth looking for a good sound, one might get an idea for a song. I think that in the specific context of electronic music, sound design and composing can be thought of as different topics when looking for instructional videos, just because of how much there is to know and do about sound design. I suppose both are still intrinsically linked by their shared purpose though.
>>77689 This may just be a result of my experience, but I firmly believe that you only need so much theory before you can make your own music. Especially today, where time is often what determines structure in many genres, a few basic elements (rhythm, song structure, chords, scales) will get you a long way with just a little imagination, especially if you also play an instrument.

>>77692 Stockhausen was from the time when people were abandoning romanticism for modernism. Schoenberg taught a lot of similar examples you'll find to this. John Cage for example. They weren't trying to make music as much as use music to describe philosophy and politics. These people were mostly those who made it out of WW1 alive.
I feel it would be more fair to compare the modern sound design+composition ideas against the surrealist works of Debussy or Ravel. These artists focused on the sound of the piano to a similar extent of the motifs. The related song was written in memory of people he knew who died in WW1.

On the topic of Midi I recently found a Japanese Midi sequencer and editor called Domino and its really good. It has built in instrument and control listings for multiple Yamaha and Roland Midi synths which makes it great if you have an interest for making music on an old Roland or Yamaha ROMplers or their VST versions running in a vst host(SCVA or S-YXG50). It's layout is also really quite straight forward at least for me. I found a translation for it somewhere online and it works well

>>103750 ¥Feel like this could be touched up a bit into something really nice thats the plan, I finally dumped the money into recording equipment and once I get it figured out I wanted to make another improved and expanded version of that.
I set it up yesterday and was having an issue where the input and output was only coming from the left, I'm going to try to fix that tonight.

>>103928 Personally, I feel 0:45-1:05 is a bit too "harsh" for me and a to a lesser extent so is 2:05-2:40, but 2:50 onwards? Good shit, love that part. I'm musically illiterate so I don't know how to express it, I don't know how you did it but I like it, and I can see the song does a lot of stuff in its different sections.

the mixing overall is quite high-heavy and not very ear pleasing, it sounds like 5 layers of OTT stacked on every single track

>>103946 I agree with this guy a bit with the "harshness". I've always been overly sensitive to this kind of thing and it's not a genre I listen to as a result.
I liked 1:20ish to 2:08 as I honestly can't listen to the rough parts without developing a headache.
Congratulations on creating it!

Would be cool to enhance my track with some vocal lines, so I've been playing around with the Synthesizer V for a while. It's certainly a skill to get it to sound great but the interface seems pretty nice. Not that I actually tried any other Vocal Synths hehe. Whats pretty lame is that a purchase apparently gives you three non simultanious licenses, which can get lost if you dont properly deactivate them locally in case of lets say a CPU upgrade. Thats pretty restrictive SIGH hate DRM. Please share if you have any experience with vocal synthesizers!

Anyone interested in doing a collab song? I mostly do high-energy electronic music. I'm familiar with FL Studio, LMMS, and Famitracker but if you want to work with different software I can try to accommodate.

>>104081 The commonly used vocal synthesizers in Japan are Vocaloid, Synthesizer V, CeVIO AI and NEUTRINO.
Vocaloid needs no introduction and you can download cracked version + voice banks from nyaa.
Synthesizer V has a cracked version but voice banks are hard to find.
CeVIO AI has been gaining popularity recently thanks to high quality AI singing, but it's not cracked and voice banks are hard to find.
Thankfully there is a free solution: NEUTRINO is a free AI singing software and 12 voice banks are available for download.
https://studio-neutrino.com Due to AI singing, the voice needs way less effort to tune and the quality is quite good in the mix, you can search NEUTRINO covers on YouTube to see how it works out.
It has no UI, you need to create MusicXML in Musescore first, and run included batch script on it. If you want a UI, an unofficial UI can be found here:
https://github.com/sigprogramming/tyouseisientool/wiki/Getting-Started Of course, AI singing technology is constantly evolving, so there are lots of research projects that can generate ever better voices but they aren't very user friendly and often require you to make your own voice banks.

>>104081 I've used UTAU before, it works. It's pre-AI and just fades pre-recorded phoneme pairs into each other, so it has a bit of a learning curve and requires a lot of fine-tuning. Because it's free there are lots of crappy voicebanks but lots of good ones too. The only thing I hate about it is each voice bank can use a different system, and some of the popular voicebanks are either difficult to use or just plain incomplete and choppy-sounding for English. You know what, don't use UTAU, it's a pain in the ass.

https://jummbus.bitbucket.io/ In the past I would export each track separately and finish mixing in a DAW, with some effort you can get something that sounds decent and a little less flat

It seems all I had to do to fix my problems was use reaper, the one I was using before had some issue where it defaulted to stereo recording which doesnt work properly with windows or something, regardless I have got the recording side of things fully figure out though now its too late for me to be making alot of noise. Glad that watching bocchi earlier inspired me to give recording another try, now I am good to go to put down the track thats been in my head
Anonymous 03/25/23 (Sat) 17:45:15 No. 105689
Just found out that Reaper can output some neat
GRAPHS after rendering something!
I wonder if it saves them somewhere? Would be neat to compare graphs for all tracks in an album or ep. Definitely cool to so see how the breakdowns, build ups and climaxes compare in loudness.

What's the wet? What's a midi triggered effect?
Anonymous 01/21/24 (Sun) 13:26:23 No. 118840
>>118775 In this case wet is a measure of how much the audio signal is affected by the effect.
MIDI triggered means that the affect gets applied when there are incoming note signals

>>77687 i think that it's simple and barebones on purpose inorder to teach concepts about producing, rather than the unique styles possible through it. these concepts will eventually serve as the backbone for diving deeper and specializing in the sound you want to create. when you get a good enough grasp on the tools you're working with, it's then time to transition into a more comprehensive studying of those sounds, chords, and structures which you enjoy, and figuring out how to not only reproduce them, but incorporate them into your unique style of producing. in my mind, he is the "dance music manual" for a modern audience.
to understand his approach, you have to remember a time when you'd open up a daw and feel completely helpless because you didn't know what anything did. i'm not saying his approach is the best, but i do see the value in it. you've practically graduated his class, and now all you need to do is move on so you can be one step closer to that bigger picture. keep pushing yourself to not only learn more, but do more, and you will eventually hit your stride and take pleasure in every step. nobody is a noob because there is no right way when it comes to creation. only the righteous capacity for self expression.

I usually don't go that subtle with them but I felt I needed to make the change after other people unrelated to here deemed the songs I did too "anxiety invoking" and "disturbing" but I can't help myself, at least some degree, have horror themes.
