Re: Music Works In Progress Thread
Alright, forgot to bring the 0.9 version of Spectrum bootleg, but damb, it's REALLY good now. Might be uploading it later today if I go to my sister's.
Ohaider. I didn't take your suggestion. No such thing as sidechaining. Sorry.

Re: Music Works In Progress Thread
my third (not sure if actually) completed track, just started out making music and I really like it! was not sure what genre it would be labled so I made it progressive house.
https://soundcloud.com/dist-5/heliotropium any tips on flstudio are much appreciated, I still need to learn more about it!

Re: Music Works In Progress Thread
@m3t4, It sounds like the bass is disrupting the natural balance of the song with the kick build-up. Make sure to always watch your levels and EQ accordingly.
Also add some sidechaining like crazy. I'm not one to sidechain often since I'm more experimenting with the engineering side of production rather than the production side of production, but even I know sidechaining is key to create amazing tracks. Your piano also sounds like it could use a lot of reverb and some delay. I highly recommend getting FL Studio 11. And if for some reason you don't like FL anymore, head straight to Ableton Live 9. Don't even look at Pro Tools. @YoshL, the ending doesn't seem too abrupt to me. It sounds pretty damn nice. @Ohaider. How do you usually sidechain? I end up placing a peak controller on the kick or whatever usually goes every quarter bar anyway. (Or end up making another kick but mute it.) Then add a Balance or on say the saw bass or noise then link the volume to the peak+lfo. Is there a different way that isn't using Gross Beat. Cause literally, that thing IS gross.

I can also see what you mean about the basskick, thats actually a mistake. I meant to lower it down in the final production, I was testing how it sounded when I turned it up a bit. Sidenote, I am absolutely horrible with playing with effects. Thanks for the tips though! very helpfull. I hope to make more in the future and also get much better! (watched back by the way)

With Kicks, open up Parametric EQ 2 and make the mid a little quieter, then up the "2" to the first line (should be +3db/+6db iirc?) and the "6" to the right a bit and up a little more than the "2" was at. That's how I usually make my kicks punchy and have bass. I also suggest downloading VEC-1 pack for a shitload of premade kicks, snares, claps and hats/cymbals. I've ended up using 3xOSC to make my kicks (hella layering, awye) though. I personally say NEVER touch "Fruity Bass Boost" at all ever for kicks. Very great VSTs to use for pianos and other synths is ReFX Nexus2. I'd stay away from NI Massive since it's actually really a huge CPU eater depending on your computer. With Nexus2 piano presets, they usually already have reverb and delay so it's close to useless to put any of those effects there. inb4 someone tells me how wrong I am with the EQ shit. Also holy shit I'm dying of laughter. This is the greatest shit I've ever heard. https://soundcloud.com/osaka-noise-ensemble/kore-wa-wareware-ga-sore-o

It makes the drums way more audible (especially the snare)

Re: Music Works In Progress Thread
hey man your stuff is starting to sound pretty damn good already, nice build and progression, good use of automation now you just need to start introducing a sick melody and you'll have a very enjoyable track

I do plan on adding a melody. I might scrap the mix I'm making and use a melody from that, or I could be creative and come up with something.
