hey guys, I'm just getting started with this stuff. I'm into house and techno but my friend wants me to make some hip hop beats for him. I just want to get familiar with the process. I got the drum sounds and programming down, but I feel like my synths just sound stupid. Any tips to get good sounding synths (for bass, lead etc)?

Hey I am Nate aka dj deadnate! I am in media production and technicians program at college and between starcraft and school work I make my own music! I have been working on this cd for the past 7 months and put a lot of time and effort into working on it. This is 100% my own music made with a program that has basic samples of music and I construct them together to make a song To describe my music it’s a mix between chill electro and acoustic music. This file is 100% safe and not that big of a file to dl. If you do not want to dl it check out my youtube page. It has all my music on there to just to show you guys I don’t want to infect or hack your computer! I Kinda want to get into doing this music as side projects for the rest of my life and hell who knows maybe I get a smash hit one day. Any way a lot of my friends enjoy it and I listen to it whenever I am laddering in sc2! any way add me to sc2 if you ever want to play against me (rank 14 diamond) deadnate 267. Subscribe to my channel for when I make more song and enjoy the music

Hello, I am Kyle also known as Twoinches. This is a Early Live track I did back in 2005 opening for Thurston Moore.

http://soundcloud.com/twoinches/poisonmehappy

this is very improv style, not so structured as my later works will show but one hell of a experience.

I went under the name Poison Me Happy back then. I will upload more tracks to my soundclick when I get home from work. I am a Noise artist, enjoy.

Great book that has everything you need to know about house production styles.

Also consider buying samples off of Goldbaby. I prefer using original drum samples and then compressing them ad hoc with different compressors. Great site for all your classic drum machine needs.

http://www.goldbaby.co.nz/

I'm gonna make a house/disco club for this forum. Did it at overclock.net but it failed miserably.

I use Ableton and Reaktor 5, which has a wealth of user created instruments and effects. Like to work on french house, ambient, downtempo, and instrumental stuff. Haven't released anything yet though.

Here are some of my influences:

Nightmares on Wax
Curtis Mayfield
Boozoo Bajou
Lemon Jelly
The Avalanches

The Bird Ensemble
Fennesz
Sakamoto
Solo Andata
Beef Terminal
Nybbl
Holoscene
Broken Social Scene

For those using ableton...

Looking for an LFO that I can plug into any VST. I think max for live should be able to do this, but I'm a noob @ max.

I want to modulate paramaters in operator, and only frequency and 1 other option isn't enough.



Also lets drop cool tips here.

Try hard panning one channel left and one channel right then slightly detuneing them.
Try using simple delay with less than 30ms difference between right and left. It makes a sound much more full.
(For example 1ms delay on right channel and 16ms delay on the left.)

Good tricks. Thanks for the tips.

I like using parallel compression, for any house producers out there. You run a compressor with lots of threshold on an aux bus and mix it into the main bus. Most producers will use this for full drum rack compression, but it also works really well for single kick drum compression. You can get that big sound without losing too much detail.

Ive been meaning to get into making music but since I dont know anyone or anything, its just an extremely daunting task. The problem is, that every tutorial is either way too advanced (like the once in here with maybe the exception of the first one) or just really bad in quality and/or uninteresting (manuals). Most sites with basic info are just bannerfests with clearly subjective info.

Ive tried downloading FL and trying simple tutorials to get going but since I dont understand even the simplest of things and having demo or (admittedly) illegal software is uninspiring. Seems like to do anything you need some basic equipment like a MIDI controller (I learned what that is yesterday, yea!).

Im too old and impatient to do it the hard way like eJay or playing with demos until I learn it the something from where I could build on. I dont mind paying a bit more so I can enjoy the learning process.

Id like to do electronic dance/trance and remixes.

Ive been considering buying

-Ableton Live Intro (like Ableton more than FL)
-Novation ReMote 25 SL MK II (I can get this one used for a significant price reduction)
-Novation LaunchPad since it looks like an absolute blast but Ill probably hold it off for a while since it not really needed .

Would this make any sense? Are these good? Presuming I have nothing but a basic PC, do I need to have anything else? The 25 SL just connects through USB, right? Live Intro is significantly cheaper but also obviously has less features but does it still enable me to do, say 90% of stuff that is done normally?

On top of that, any guides, tutorials etc. that start with most basic stuff? Does not need to be free, but not more than $50 either. Im not sure if Tom Cosms tutorials start a bit too advanced?

Any links to quality stuff (I have gone throught the links in this thread already)?

Sorry for possibly horrible noobish questions...

Yea, Tom Cosmos would be a little advanced for a beginner. He's a good teacher, even though I don't like his music.

If you think you want to DJ, Ableton is the best buy. You get all the production tools you need and innerstatedj can help you get started.

http://www.musicsoftwaretraining.com/blog/

He's a great teacher and a cool dude. I've personally talked with him and he's very helpful.

Any of the Novation series will be good. For trance type stuff you definitely want a keyboard. Go for one of the keyboard/midi launch units. M-Audio makes great controllers as well.

Just start messing around. That's the best advice I can give you. You'll find production is about 20% knowledge and 80% twisting knobs. You could mathmatically determine all your EQ settings, Compressor thresholds, etc. but in the end, it's just moving knobs around. Work on getting ideas down and saved. Then worry about how it sounds later.

Thanks slytown.

Is there a Team Liquid kind of an one stop place for good info about these things?

If any of you producers/beatmakers are looking for someone to rap over some beats, PM me! And if our two styles work well together, who knows, maybe we could make something out of it!
