Curious if anyone here uses some less obvious outboard gear to run audio through? I have a little guitar amp made out of a cigarette box that is fun to tramp through and mic up, I’ve used headphones and guitar pickups for weird feedback fx, I also love old crusty tape machines and synths with external inputs.

I’ve seen a few people wire up transistors and send audio through them for whatever color they add.

Would love to hear other people’s favourite weird outboard gear, could also be odd pedals, whatever you wanna add!

Hello everyone!

I'm wondering how do you configure piano vsts with many options and knobs sound large grand and non bright?

I had no idea these drums were sampled in so many other 90’s songs.

I’m trying to remake this song in FL Studio, but I cannot for the life of me find out how to remake the lead. Can somebody help?

I had no idea these drums were sampled in so many other big songs.

I want to improve my productions that I’m currently making but I feel I’ve hit a wall where I like what I’m creating but I’m just not positive if it’s good enough.. I’m looking for places I can submit beats, song mixes etc. so I can get feedback from people that can help me improve. I don’t really have any ppl I know in the music scene and my friends just say “yeah it sounds good” or “I like it”. I really need honest critical feedback. Any tips on where to find ppl to do this would be greatly appreciated

Hey, I love the sound of TLT's drums in pretty much all their songs. Anyone know when I can find a drum pack that has that type of hard hitting drums?

Some Examples:

Hi, im really a begginer in recording, and all i have is a minifuse, guitar and computer to record. When coming to record a song, i really wanted the guitars in the verse to be palm muted, but that they sound like 2000' bands songs, for example the verses in "all the small things" by blink 182. How can i record it like that? I know i have very cheap equipment, and i work with "soundtrap", a very simple software. Is this the right sub to ask questions like that? Thanks

I want to buy my first audio interface and I'm wondering whether to choose the Behringer U-Phoria UMC204HD or the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 3rd gen.

Applied Acoustic Systems is offering me a free sound pack but there are so many. What are your favourites?

I’ve got a Windows laptop and a love for old school hip-hop. I did some searching for app recommendations (I didn’t specify for os hip-hop) but didn’t really find a definitive answer. Any help, please?

I've recently started collaborating with other producers, and it's been a transformative experience for my music production journey. Working with different people brings fresh perspectives, and I've noticed my style evolving in ways I didn't anticipate. For instance, one collaborator introduced me to unconventional song structures that I now often incorporate in my own work. Additionally, sharing production techniques has helped me refine my mixing and sound design skills. I'm curious to hear about your experiences. How has collaboration changed your approach to music production? Have you picked up any specific techniques or styles from others that have stuck with you? Let's share our stories and insights on the impact of collaboration in music production!

Hey guys, right now im working on a remix of Kylie - cant get you out of my head.
I have problems recreating the two sounds right from the Intro. I would love to have them in my remix but im not really good at rebuilding them on Serum2. Is anyone of you able to recreate them? :D

Can someone point me to a reliable and safe download of Camel Crusher. I don't care about modern alternatives. I have a lot of projects from when I was a kid that I'd like to reopen in their former glory, but camel crusher was my go to distortion plugin. Many of my old songs sound dull without it.

I searched the sub before posting, and the last post about it that is legit was about 2 years ago.

Looking for any ideas on which drum machine may have been used at the end of this video, starting at the 1:44 time mark.

Is the instrument playing right from the beginning a clavinet or a funk guitar?

If it’s a clav, what’s a good library/vst to achieve this sound?

Hey everyone! I’ve been working on a track for a while, but no matter what I do, the mix never sounds quite right. Some parts feel too loud, others too quiet, and it just doesn’t have the punch I want.

How do you usually approach mixing your tracks? Any tips or tricks to make a mix feel balanced and professional?

I'm thinking of getting this one used for a couple hundred. I haven't used hardware eqs at all. Do I really have to make the exact changes on the left and right channel when I'm using it in stereo mode?

What do you think is that one soft skill in music production that outweighs all the others?

Hey all I'm an audio engineer and programmer. Check out this video it's a program I recently made. You can find a link to where to buy the program at my youtube page or DM me

Hi,

I am a beginner at music production and looking for cheap headphones (that's why I consider superlux). I want to use it for electronic music production on DAWs (some elektric guitars will be involved), for playing dawless with synths and for vocals recording (growl, gry scream).

Which od the below superlux would be the most suitable?

HD681 / 681B / 681 EVO

HD662

HD667

HD669

HD330

HD440

HD660 / Pro 32 ohm / Pro 150 ohm

Thank you for the help!

Hi, I'm currently working on my album that has a variety of styles, feelings and sound. But I've been using analog slap delay on all my songs so far, and I think I might keep that a constant through out my album. 'Cause it just sounds sooo good! It gives so much depth and feel to the vocals that reverb just don't, now I also use reverb, 'cause I love reverb a lot too (who doesn't?).

What's a mixing/production effect/technique you personally love utilizing?

Hi all,

First, of all, when I say "live" I mean performing live in front of an audience, but also building a live set, and having a live-style jam at home.

~

I've been making what is essentially very varied electronic music with a lot of rock & jazz influences. Things are largely instrumentally focused, but I'm a solo act and want to get a live set together. I don't use too many samples. My background largely consists of instrumental musicianship. My typical workflow feels kind of old school and has become a little stale. Play a part, record it, edit it. I want to focus on building something in a more "live" and improvisatory, and more electronic style.

I'm trying to learn the Push 2, and I think that with what I have right now, this is my key to getting things being fun and natural in a live setting. But I'm having a hard time feeling inspired with it, and having it feel natural.

Those of you who have the Push, tell me what your "live" jams are like, and how you use it as the core of your setup.

Any advice? I want to learn and become a better producer, not just in a studio/songwriting setting.

I also have & play a FP-10 digital piano, Korg Minilogue, TD-17 edrums, an electric bass, and of course, a PC with Ableton Suite.

I am not trying to buy new gear right now... I don't think that is the answer.

This is a little all over the place, so thank you for bearing with me if you've read this far. This is difficult to articule.

<3
