Music Making

[lyric wing]

basically

this is a HEAVILY modded version

of a chiptune maker

yes

chiptune

why im staying with it is because

whenever i share my music i like seeing the community's reaction

"omg howd you make this" when the music they make is something you'd hear out of like

idk

ummmmm

really old games

my whole thing is just making really realistic sounding edm with this thing

[atomic tangle]

This is sooo cool, love the drops, hits really hard

Kinda the chorus part

[lyric wing]

and since im a cover artist like making the instruments and stuff wouldnt be as fun with FL

[atomic tangle]

Those chords

The seinfeld bass make me chuckle ngl

[lyric wing]

LOL SEINFELD BASS

[atomic tangle]

That cheesy slap

[lyric wing]

its the most realistic sample the developers added

[atomic tangle]

Yea yea if is originally made for chiptune

[lyric wing]

yeh

[atomic tangle]

But i can hear what you said

[lyric wing]

i could just make the instrument myself but

[atomic tangle]

Like is modded

[lyric wing]

not as good

[atomic tangle]

Cus sounds pretty modern

The type of production

What's the name of the daw? so i can check it

[lyric wing]

uhhhhh

https://tenor.com/view/awkward-black-kid-gif-4937950

[atomic tangle]

Lol don't be ashamed

Fr i won't judge

[lyric wing]

https://tinyurl.com/2lnzvbcm

[atomic tangle]

Like if i said smth is not in bad faith at all, just givin my honest opinions 🙌

[lyric wing]

yeah its

its a website

[atomic tangle]

Huh

Never heard of that

[lyric wing]

the fact that it's on a website just makes it seem weirder

and less professional

[atomic tangle]

Lol

[lyric wing]

which is why i never really shared what i make stuff with

[atomic tangle]

Now you did

With me

[lyric wing]

looks smth like this

[atomic tangle]

YOOO

Is like

Hackin

[lyric wing]

https://tenor.com/view/everglow-park-jiwon-eu-euarchived-everglow-eu-gif-24697527

uhhh

yer

just to clarify

you know this song is

[atomic tangle]

Is aight, using that gives it an unique flair to your music

[lyric wing]

is a cover right

[atomic tangle]

As some people say "limitations breeds creativity"

[lyric wing]

yaur

like i said um

you know that this is kep1er right

right?

[atomic tangle]

Oh i don't listen to Kep1er

[lyric wing]

oh well

[atomic tangle]

Is just like Xiaoting 😊

[lyric wing]

basically its their most detailed song

and like two people made it

best song imo

the others are um

they're fine

[atomic tangle]

Cool nice

[lyric wing]

listenable

[atomic tangle]

Yea i haven't got into their stuff

Nothing made it up for me

[lyric wing]

course i have made some

some originals

[atomic tangle]

Yea, that's the stuff

[lyric wing]

just uh

the last original was

two months ago

thats how much of a cover artist i am

[atomic tangle]

Ah is aight

Everything helps to learn the craft

I had a Why Not kinda remix somewhere

[lyric wing]

yknow weirdly enough you sound like more of a philosopher than a producer

i mean producers dont exactly have a way of speaking anyways lmfao

[atomic tangle]

Like i just found the bass sound

[atomic tangle]

Well Rick Rubin is like that

[lyric wing]

omg you should of seen my why not cover

before uploading this i kinda

kinda messed with the limiter

so the bass at the start weirdly sounds loud

[lyric wing]

accidentaly

[atomic tangle]

Hey sounds pretty spot on

[lyric wing]

the song is super easy

[atomic tangle]

Is kinda like that in the og tho

[lyric wing]

i guess

[atomic tangle]

I can't find my lil flip

This is the best ones i got imo

Have to work a bit more on the mixing, the second one i'm not really sure of the arrangement and the acapella on it, it fight with some instruments on the frequiency spectrum it seems

And i the first one i might lower the bpm just a lil bit

[lyric wing]

chaewon jam

gosh i could buy nitro rn i just dont know why i should

[atomic tangle]

Cus

Lol

[lyric wing]

fair point!

hmmm honestly you sound more like a trap producer

or just like

a beat

[atomic tangle]

Actually because this gif i began stanning lsf

[lyric wing]

producer in general

[atomic tangle]

Yea i guess

Edm is not my type of music

[lyric wing]

goddamn

[atomic tangle]

I lean more to trap, hip hop, rnb

[lyric wing]

OH YEAH

i actually did one myself

but its like newjeans type trap

[atomic tangle]

Well the only way i could listen to it is filtered thru kpop

[atomic tangle]

I luv

[lyric wing]

so theres a really fast part

like with cookie and omg

[atomic tangle]

Yas yas

Cookie my fav

Such a vibe

[atomic tangle]

Lol i read that

[lyric wing]

gosh mp3 ruined the audio

[atomic tangle]

[lyric wing]

should of used wav instead

but mp3 is just much faster

[atomic tangle]

Yea don't worry

[lyric wing]

my one problem with this really is i accidentally turned it into aespa thirsty

[atomic tangle]

I don't have the best device for listening rn

[lyric wing]

🗿

[atomic tangle]

Lol is a mix

Between Ditto and Thirsty

[lyric wing]

a bit after second chorus there's a dance break

[atomic tangle]

That last beat you send

[lyric wing]

i dont hear ditto

[atomic tangle]

The kick part

[lyric wing]

THE KICK PATTERNS YEAH

[atomic tangle]

Kinda that "Jersey Club" stuff

Or whatever

Really on trend these days

I was studying Ditto

Like copying the pattern

Came up pretty similar

[lyric wing]

i could hear that yes

[atomic tangle]

There we go

I found the right clap loop

Had the right sound to it

Then i chop it up

I have to figure out the chords and synth sound still

[lyric wing]

god you should of sent me this when i made ditto

[atomic tangle]

[lyric wing]

thought the new song was kinda boring

title says it all

[azure trellis]

I just learned that AirPods have a built in EQ 😮

Still nowhere near as good as my actual headphones, but it’s a whole lot better than without an EQ

Love war still sounds so good

[azure trellis]

I can’t play .wav files 😭

[lyric wing]

WHAT WHY

[lyric wing]

okay ummm ill send mp3

[warm girder]

idk if this applies but what you guys think about this audio interface?

https://youtu.be/FLNDxdtBGVc

im thinking about getting this one as i only want a single mic line and has a direct monitor

and has phantom power if i ever go a condenser mic. im currently rocking a samson q2u

[lyric wing]

looks uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

looks

great?

-digital producer with absolutely zero external equipment

[solar canopy]

What's your use case?

[warm girder]

just for voip in games or voice chat

tis the beginning of another expensive hobby kek

[lyric wing]

is that

really music making though

kinda thought you were gonna do some sick beats with a better mic lol

starts beatboxing!

[warm girder]

i mean it's an audio interface so it applies i guess

[lyric wing]

uhhhhhhh

i may be uneducated but

um

doesnt seem that bad

okay well i finished my little remix of itzy bet on me

like i said i felt like the song was way too empty for powerful vocals

actually i dont really like the rap part i did here lol i tried to keep the flow

[solar canopy]

Aye it is fine for that

[fringe laurel]

Great interface 7/10 overall 9/10 price

UMC22 is an upgrade over the older small sibling UM2, build quality is much improved, steel body but plastic face. Knobs are reasonably solid and the ports have minimal wobble.

Depending on what you do, this interface might just suffice whatever you throw at it. It is not exactly industry grade preamp, but it's a great preamp and the sounds you can make out of this is enough to get you to release a solo or sumthin.

24bit/48KHz is enough for general purpose, but if you're gonna do a sample pack of sort (something that has more editing flexibilty) try getting an interface with higher than 96kHz recording sample rate.

Headphone output is ....bit abysmal. If you have low ohms headphones it's perfect, but if your headphones are like 80 ohms or more, might wanna consider amp

So yeah for VCs

[solar canopy]

They said voip for games

[fringe laurel]

I'd say it's a bit over kill

Since you can hook up a Neumann and it'll work

[solar canopy]

There are not much cheaper options tho is there

[fringe laurel]

it's dependent on Son's place

From where I am, I can get M-Audio Mtrack Solo for cheaper

@warm girder can I know your mic of choice?

Pretty important because you said VC

[warm girder]

samson q2u, a dynamic microphone

[fringe laurel]

That means you're gonna boost gain

[warm girder]

the reason i chose this because this can be usb or xlr mode

[fringe laurel]

Oh that

Smart choice

Oh one thing

About VOIP stuff

Turn all of these off

[warm girder]

also behringer umc2 is the the only audio interface within my price range. the next audio interface available was the scarlet which is nice but out of range for my price range kek

[fringe laurel]

Or your voice quality will get destroyed

Dynamics already have a great suppression towards background noises

[solar canopy]

Krisp is very good these days mate

[warm girder]

thanks got it. i'll have to fuck around and found out to see which works best for me.

[fringe laurel]

Nah I don't trust it, the audio coming out from the preamp is what we want, because it reflects the mic's true capability

There shouldn't be any digital inbetween IMO

[solar canopy]

I get this if we want maximum quality, but we're talking voip for games so less background noise is better

[fringe laurel]

But he got a dynamic

[solar canopy]

And it is really good these days as I said

[fringe laurel]

if he has, say Shure KSM32 then yes

You oughta turn Krisp on

That son of a gun is DELICATE

[fringe laurel]

Fair

[warm girder]

next step is practice my deep voice so i can be an eboy

[solar canopy]

Krisp is really good at picking voice only, so you don't have to fiddle around with the threshold so much if you happen to, say, lean back a bit more so it wouldn't pick your voice anymore

[fringe laurel]

How's the top end?

Based on field experience, (not Krisp) every software based noise cancelling stuff will like, always oversuppress the top end so intelligibility goes out of the window for certain non English speaking

However, that's like, years ago so maybe nowadays you're right, it has gotten better

[solar canopy]

Can't say other than I didn't notice any difference once my friend said he has been using krisp for several months already, back when I still recommended against it and it sounded terrible

[fringe laurel]

I've only set up stuff for recording and voice critical space in almost full analog

And being almost full analog, reliability skyrockets

[solar canopy]

This is the thing, lately it has gotten way better. Better than any noise reduction I've heard before, makes sense since discord probably has the most voip data since skype

[fringe laurel]

Cause I know what each mic sounds like

[fringe laurel]

That's nice then

[solar canopy]

I get it, I work in audio too. I just don't think it's necessary to overly complicate things for someone who's goal is to voip in games with friends. Just hook it up, turn krisp on and you're golden.

[fringe laurel]

Suggestion

Why not a headworn?

Actually disregard if son already has the Q2u

[lyric wing]

hey irfannnn wdyt about my song

i worked really hard on it

it took like

like ten hours maybe

[azure trellis]

That’s very nice!

Now I’m not very skilled at producing, however I feel like there could’ve been something a bit more in the higher frequency ranges

[lyric wing]

...limitation does breed creativity, jotita.

[lyric wing]

could you maybe elaborate ?

[azure trellis]

Something like this

I stitched it together without headphones so I couldn’t use the metronome lol

Yeah, just something in the high range to fill it out a bit more in the final chorus

Some sort of synth like the one in the intro to girls front

The one I used here is a marimba preset on my piano lol

you should also add a synth solo

What you did was completely fine, but I feel like the final chorus is too similar to the beginning chorus

I think adding a synth in the upper register just in the background would be amazing

now make sure you don’t put it too loud

[lyric wing]

true true! i do need to add more stuff to my final chorus

since all i really added was

um

hi hat

[fringe laurel]

Group recording shenanigans

[lyric wing]

how is it so far

[lyric wing]

this is way too funky

[azure trellis]

How is that title so accurate

It sounds great, I love it

[lyric wing]

if you're asking me

its mcdonalds 2

[azure trellis]

Btw how are you making the synths go wub wub

Are you like, cutting the volume over the course of the beat and then bringing it back?

[solar canopy]

Sidechain

[azure trellis]

I don’t know what that is, but I’ll look into it

My goal is to have a basic knowledge of production before I go to school

[solar canopy]

Basically this but using compressor to do it automatically, routing depends a bit on the daw

[azure trellis]

Hmm

[celest bough]

Basically, a sidechain is when you take input from another track and feed it into your effect.

You know how a compressor lowers the volume output based on how loud the input is in relation to the threshold? In this case, there's a compressor on the synth, but the kick's input volume is used instead of the synth's input volume to determine how much to lower the synth's volume. So, when the kick hits the threshold volume, the synth's volume quiets down. This gives you the impression that the kick is so loud that it crushes the synth's volume.

Y'all I haven't worked on music in months because I've been so busy with adulting and family obligations. Lurking on this chat every now and then makes me miss it real bad.

[azure trellis]

Holy crap

This is like comp sci

Man

Now im really tempted to finally actually start learning how to produce

I’ve been putting it off for no reason

[celest bough]

I'm assuming you're younger than me since I'm older than most Orbits (according to surveys), so yes! I recommend putting in some time before you have too many responsibilities like me

And this sidechaining thing is a great example of how to spend your time. Once you have your basics down, it's good to dig into how your favorite sounds (such as "wub wub" synths) are made so you can add it to your tools or even experiment with them and make your own sounds

[azure trellis]

I’m college bound and I’m gonna be studying music tech (basically how to record and use protools)

I’m hoping in the future I can make some money off of music

I guess I’m a bit more fortunate than most because most of my time will be spent studying music and production compared to most people

[celest bough]

Awesome! College was when I had the most time to spend on music too. I'm sure you'll do great especially given your coursework.

[lyric wing]

my beloved!

[serene star]

i've come with an idea @fringe laurel

sauces:

loona - not friends
imase - night dancer (inst)

[celest bough]

Oh my God how good is the mixing and production on the OEC teaser

https://youtu.be/3khff1EJwP0

It's crisp and bubbly like sonic champagne

Seamlessly flowing instrumental fills at every corner

[languid drum]

I'm so hyped rn

[celest bough]

The vocal mix is flawless too

[languid drum]

Just gave it a listen

[celest bough]

This might be my favorite OEC material. Also very hyped on this teaser

[lyric wing]

lowkey expected it to be more aggressive considering the teaser and name lol

then again... last time they did an aggressive title track... i dont think it went very well with most of the fandom

im so baaad

so what is actually insanely detailed

[celest bough]

Older LOONA monotree stuff was more straightforward imo. In these teasers, it sounds like they did not tolerate letting 4 measures sound identical instrumentally

I'm not able to listen again rn to go into more detail, but it left an immediate impression on me

[languid drum]

From the highlight medley it really looks promising. I feel like it's a big leap up from the older monotree stuffs, and it's really good.

[languid drum]

Ah sth like CLC's Helicopter?

Pilot power

[lyric wing]

I LOVE THAT SONG

pewww p p pewww peww

[languid drum]

Same

Sad it was their last song tho

Such a banger

[lyric wing]

you know before clc helicopter i do realize

a lot of third gen songs

smaller groups

they do a bit of singing during the chorus

and the focus isnt exactly on the vocals but the beat itself

clc black dress and clc me are all i can think of

idk how to explain it actually

i sound stupid

[languid drum]

Ah

I kinda get it

does PTT count?

[lyric wing]

ptt yeah

actually third gen small kpop groups is just a lot of singing during chorus

fourth gen is more focused on instrumental

forget everything i just said

lot of singing during chorus is what im saying

[azure trellis]

This is smexy af

like actually

I aspire to be like this guy

Make crispy beats and mix perfectly

But I kinda prefer slightly wet stuff

Btw I just realized that there are so many food terms to describe music

Crispy

Wet

Saucy

Spicy

[solar canopy]

This is the only one I've heard actually being used outside of random internet comments

[azure trellis]

Wait til you hear me use the word moist to describe a beat

Crispy is used a lot

At least from where I’ve been talking lol

Spicy saucy and other shiz like that definitely aren’t used that much

I’d say NCT sticker is spicy tho

Ay yo too

Saucy, maybe salsa stuff

https://youtu.be/KRBapxrFxu0

This is saucy

It’s like wet, but thiccc and sexy

[solar canopy]

It is the producers job to transcribe the world salad to sound. Fun times client comes to you and says "I want it to sound pink and fluffy like a cloud"

[azure trellis]

My title: the unicorn has ADHD

Man, I really gotta get headphones again

Recording without the metronome is terrible lol

Sorry, I ghost pinged you cause I realized the video I sent somewhat doxxed me

@solar canopy

[solar canopy]

Title sounds about right. And yes, always record with metronome unless it's just something you quickly want to save before you forget it and don't have the setup for it at that moment.

[azure trellis]

The reason I didn’t record with a metronome is cause you would hear it in the recording loll

[solar canopy]

Fair enough, time is hard to keep without it

[lyric wing]

should you though

[lyric wing]

oh my one solution with this is usually to lower the volume and use headphones instead of earphones, those could easily record the output audio for some reason!

unless you're using speakers

and no dont use wireless earphones please

[azure trellis]

I used to record with wired earbuds, which work fine, but I don’t have wired earbuds anymore

[lyric wing]

earbuds...

[azure trellis]

Nowadays, I usually connect my computer to my piano and do midi

[azure trellis]

Ay the audio quality is better than recording with my wireless headphones

I should probably find a way to use the phone mic when recording

The latency will hurt tho 💀

[lyric wing]

i dont use garageband, but um

isnt there a way to calibrate mic latency?

and like even if there's latency, it would still be on a certain beat

couldnt you just move the audio file a little to the left?

sync it to the beat?

[celest bough]

It's pretty common to edit recorded tracks to have better timing even after correcting for latency

So I don't see a problem

[lyric wing]

Yeah though that would be pretty difficult considering the fact that its a piano so there would be some reverb

[azure trellis]

When I was having issues with latency, it was when I was doing midi recording, so I was hearing the note about 1-2 milliseconds after I played it

I solved it by plugging in my headphones

But yeah, I probably wouldnt have an issue recording with wireless headphones as long as I’m able to find a way to get the mic input to not be from my headphones

[lyric wing]

wireless headphones just have bad mics

[azure trellis]

Ikr

Absolute shittiest things in existence

Wired earbuds actually have decent mics tho

[azure trellis]

I just found out that a person I’ve been talking too for years on discord is cousins with a producer who I absolutely adore their music

They’re part of a team called new type and they make insane shit like this

https://youtu.be/h5hMNF3kDm0

[lyric wing]

goddamn thats actually pretty groovy

KOREAN

i thought that was a japanese song because anime lol

OOH

first drop is pretty lacking imo, post chorus is really good

should of made that bass punchier

but other than that this whole song is top tier omg

i could make something like that but i just ran out of ideas

[serene star]

[newjeans x モリモリあつし] - super shy milk

[azure trellis]

That’s what my phone eq is for lol

This dude also worked on glitch and croquis by Eunbi

[lyric wing]

love it

[serene star]

here @lyric wing
https://youtu.be/D0syOyceMP8

[lyric wing]

ITS

its

unavailable

[serene star]

oh wait

...

really

[lyric wing]

[serene star]

welp

yea that was it really

one and only

i didn't get the master of it

[lyric wing]

I LOVE ONE AND ONLY

oooh yeaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[serene star]

speaking of which

i may planning on making that one

[lyric wing]

but

i still cant watch the video

[serene star]

one and only in chiptune

[lyric wing]

uhhhh

believe it or not

im using a chiptune focused daw

but i have never made chiptune on it

not once

ever

[atomic tangle]

Mako breakin bounderies

[lyric wing]

i HAVE considered FL

[atomic tangle]

Epic

[lyric wing]

and ableton

[serene star]

the thing about making it is
to be creative on it

[lyric wing]

actually i cant get a hold of ableton

[serene star]

making your own arrangement

[lyric wing]

YEAH THATS WHY I STILL USE ITTTT

because it makes me feel cool

[serene star]

this was from my first chiptune i ever made
https://youtu.be/WQFXXp2R11E

back in 2014

all the way back then, i have no clue on how to make things balanced

[lyric wing]

help i was expecting 8 bit

[serene star]

it was a mix of Super Mario 3D World's World Bowser Map theme and Sonic 2's Casino Night Zone

so yea

[lyric wing]

havent heard either of those

[serene star]

technically i also made my first mashup

[lyric wing]

how long did it take

cant imagine being an fl producer and taking more than three hours to make a song

[serene star]

it took me 2 weeks to do it

[lyric wing]

oh wow

okay

okay

[serene star]

but now here i am
https://youtu.be/KT7MCvhjZbU

making a bunch of weeeklyverse related musics

[lyric wing]

weeekly?

like the um

the girls?

[serene star]

yes

[lyric wing]

oh dear the snare on that first one is pretty quiet

[serene star]

all of these are mixed in my opinion

[atomic tangle]

@primal tree

[primal tree]

AYE will hop in right away

[atomic tangle]

Idk if i made it on my laptop or pc

[lyric wing]

thats so good

[atomic tangle]

Might need mixing also lol

[lyric wing]

god i like my software but i remember that i cant add custom samples

[atomic tangle]

Kinda rough still

But a vibe

[lyric wing]

im jealous of fl producers

[atomic tangle]

Hop on it tho

[serene star]

that's one of my tribute project btw
"A Weeekly Adventure" project was 2 years in the making

and there was "The World of Mariya"

[lyric wing]

HUH

[serene star]

also took 2 years in the making

[lyric wing]

...making music doesnt take three days?

[serene star]

both has over 50 tracks of covers

welll

that's not the problem

[lyric wing]

[serene star]

the real problem was irl

imagine

doing college

while working on these

[lyric wing]

oh right

[serene star]

(yes, i took 7 years of college)

[lyric wing]

yeh i guess thats a problem by itself

[serene star]

damn anxiety hits me

[lyric wing]

i could never hang out with the cool kids

those damn producers

https://tenor.com/view/loona-go-won-kpop-gif-14256218

[serene star]

the only good thing is to be dedicated on it

[primal tree]

BRO THATS SO COOL

im already head over heels

[lyric wing]

[primal tree]

im making rap flow already

[atomic tangle]

Ayee miwo

[lyric wing]

must be nice

[atomic tangle]

Sheesh i'm glad it inspired you

[primal tree]

right off the bat, thats already a hook

[atomic tangle]

I guess i made the beat on my laptop, so i should export the stems to my pc

[serene star]

2021 hitted worst on me
but since Weeekly released We Play (when Jiyoon was there) my dark times was cured and got motivated to continue my chiptune cover project @lyric wing

[atomic tangle]

To mix it properly, maybe adding some more layers

But this could be a great starting point

Fr fr

[lyric wing]

aww

[serene star]

Jiyoon truly my inspiration to this day

she can make everything

[primal tree]

honestly like. this is my current genre but eASLKJASLG I MISSED RAPPING

[serene star]

so I wish to be the same too

[lyric wing]

i dont listen to weekly

is she like

their producer?

[serene star]

she is

one of a kind member of weeekly

[primal tree]

ugly ass vocals

[serene star]

can draw album art

and produced 3 songs for weeekly

[atomic tangle]

Oh nice, really pop-ish kinda ballad

[primal tree]

tried getting into synthpop ish

[lyric wing]

i think i've heard this before

[primal tree]

yuppp

[atomic tangle]

Sounds smth i'd sing at a karaoke

[lyric wing]

oh YOU DID SHOW THIS BEFORE

gosh these lyrics

its weird that i can understand them

[primal tree]

KHSKGHA

[lyric wing]

[serene star]

i think i might share this too

[lyric wing]

oop

kick too loud

wait thats not even a kick

[primal tree]

just like a soup, served on the table.
sour and hot, straight to the stomach
I'll be warming up your heart

[lyric wing]

thats just a really punchy bass

[serene star]

it's a bass, also a kick!

[primal tree]

well thats a punch

[lyric wing]

i could definitely hear the chiptune

[serene star]

from A Weeekly Adventure project, i think this, by far, my most favourite track to make

the original track inspired by Soojin and the 12:12 portal from Weeekly lore

[lyric wing]

...how many tracks are there again?

in this weekly adventure thing of yours?

[serene star]

let me count

[lyric wing]

[primal tree]

i wanna learn making rnb/rap

[serene star]

i think it's over 100

[primal tree]

i want that genre

thats the genre famous in ph

[serene star]

including some unreleased, demos and stuffs

it's the most i've ever done

[lyric wing]

gosh i wish rnb and rap was popular where i am

because in my area

people keep singing really old shit

and not like

old people

songs

uhhhh you've definitely heard of the song beer right

[primal tree]

yeah LMAO

[lyric wing]

LOL

[primal tree]

thats so old-

[atomic tangle]

I'll be famous there then

[lyric wing]

relative of mine told me a story about how this guy brought his guitar to school but the only song he knew was beer

[primal tree]

facts in fact jo

[atomic tangle]

That's my vibe

Love it

[lyric wing]

and he kept playing it

[atomic tangle]

Still learning day by day

[lyric wing]

to the point where he was asked to stop

that was crazy and i wasnt even there LOL

[serene star]

remember the midi days and how simple the game soundtracks was in 80s and 90s?
that's what the aim of my chiptune covers i wanted to be @lyric wing

sometimes it was imperfect

[lyric wing]

ehhhh i wasn't born during this era but

close enough

by like ten years LMAO

[primal tree]

i made this old korean song (with ugly korean lyrics) way back in 2017 i think lemme find it

[atomic tangle]

Chords are pretty, bass do its thing, like accomplish its role

[primal tree]

thanksss

[atomic tangle]

My only "issue" is the snare, i might use another sound, but is just personal preference fr

[primal tree]

truee

[atomic tangle]

Like it feels a bit out of context with the trap hihats, but i've seen some people mixing both type of sounds

Another rough one, leaning more to straight bars hip hop stuff

Recorded the bass line myself, now i can hear some weird spots where the playing is a bit off

[lyric wing]

HEY MIWO

[lyric wing]

[serene star]

Night Tempo's remixes on those city pop songs are always on point

this was definitely the time i was into city pop

but i was kinda ult to mariya takeuchi

[serene star]

@atomic tangle, I need to request you to make something?

Can I?

[atomic tangle]

Uhm yea why not

Pls, could be fun

Kinda a challenge

[serene star]

so I've been wishing a lofi rendition of IU's Heart

can you make that?

[atomic tangle]

Hmm

I should listen

Then figure it out

But yea, why not

I'm not the fastest at delivering but i'll give it a try

For funsies

For my cord gang

[serene star]

thanks! would wait for your rendition

[atomic tangle]

Cool

[atomic tangle]

I will say that

Mastering is weird

Like

The volume between verses and chorus makes a big leap

Also not suuuuper agree with some mixing desicions

But y'know

I'm enjoying it nonetheless

Yea, tbh i didn't payed much attention to structure on this

Just rollin with it

[atomic tangle]

Yup if def there is smth with AF1 mastering, when Je Ne Sais Quoi, there is a huge volume drop between this two

[solar canopy]

AF1 has some interesting mixing decisions indeed. Bass department is definitely lacking which makes the midrange feel too crammed. The vocal effects clash with the synths bit too much imo. Also what I've seen more and more recently, vocals panned too wide, center doesn't feel well defined. Rest of the album doesn't have any of these issues tho, which is what makes it a bit weird.

[atomic tangle]

Agree 100%

Crazy right?

Probably they didn't expected nerds like us to knit pick those issues

🤓 🤓 🤓 🤓

Still listenable

But a bit amateurish being kpop sooo high standars

[solar canopy]

Aye it's still fine, just weird when rest of the album sounds much better mixing wise.

But on to good things, damn I love the funky guitar fills on my secret playlist, so tasteful.

[atomic tangle]

Yay

Kinda ambitious

Mixing some genres in there

But is true to the song concept of "playlist"

Some bossa nova or brazilian music low key influence on a section

[pallid spindle]

Now that also UK Garage is on trend thanks to NewJeans

A frankenstain of beats i had on my notebook, drums from one, chords from another

[serene star]

gonna listen to it later

[atomic tangle]

[lyric wing]

groovy bass

if you add a few more notes to that bass it'll be deep house lol

i love deep house sm

[lyric wing]

hey thats pretty good

groovy af

[serene star]

ah, perhaps i didn't tell you that this is a mashup

Sauces:

Oh My Girl - Summer Comes
Fifty Fifty - Tell Me

[lyric wing]

oh right i was assuming it was a mashup, i remember you saying all you could do was like chiptune i think?

[serene star]

not just chiptunes

[lyric wing]

right

[serene star]

here's another one

[lyric wing]

you seem to like weekly a lot

[serene star]

yea

[lyric wing]

[azure trellis]

I finally listened to the version up album and man y’all are right with the weird ass mixing

The chorus of my secret playlist could easily be like 1.7x louder

But the bossa nova section is so fucking cool

[winged fulcrum]

Mix is scuffed

[serene star]

full version!
Sauces:

Oh My Girl - Summer Comes
Fifty Fifty - Tell Me

[atomic tangle]

[winged fulcrum]

@pallid spindle

[pallid spindle]

hey that's me

[winged fulcrum]

I use the pack like everytime i produce

[serene star]

https://soundcloud.com/andresagitari2022/oh-my-girl-summer-comes-tell-me-ver

[lyric wing]

I HEAR IT

song ruined forever

[azure trellis]

Sorry! That was just my thoughts while listening to it

Bossa nova section still fire tho

[lyric wing]

i personally dont mind because i like inst music a lot

like edm or

yk

[azure trellis]

Instrumental music

[lyric wing]

Instrumental music

[solar canopy]

I don't really get this, sounds plenty loud to me

[azure trellis]

Might be my equalizer, I don’t know, but the instruments are kinda eating it in my ears

I listened to it in a car too

I’ll give it another go when I get home but that was just what I was thinking

[solar canopy]

Ah, you mean the vocals are too quiet?

[azure trellis]

Yeah

The song is loud enough, except I kinda found myself straining a bit to focus on the vocals

[solar canopy]

Hmm maybe a bit in the second part of the chorus with the extra reverb but that's definitely intentional, still sounds fine to me. A lot of 80's songs have vocals run over by synths so I'm also somewhat used to it.

[azure trellis]

After relistening, I think I was probably having a difficult time because of road noise. But I still think the vocals could be a tad bit louder

Maybe like 1.17x louder

[solar canopy]

Well yeah car isn't usually a good place to listen new music due all the extra noise

[atomic tangle]

Well if you really pay attention there is a thread with XX's vocal mixing, it seems is really the taste that JJ has in that regards

Really reverb-y, distant and low in the mix, which i've never like that much

I want members voices shine better

I felt that Lippie's vocals were the most affected by it, and Choerry got the best part from it, her voice sounds super refreshing, benefiting from the dreamy vocal production

[azure trellis]

Yeah it seems really similar to how he mixed that one OEC song which I forgot the name of

I think it was uncover?

[atomic tangle]

Uhmm Loonatic has the more drawn out vocals out of those OEC songs

I should do a listening and compare properly

But the OEC releases had vocals pretty up front if i remember correctly

[azure trellis]

Yeah I forgot

I’m writing a choral piece

MuseScore version for those who wanna see the notes lol

[primal tree]

can anyone recommend me some good Shoegaze songs/bands? I started a band with people i met online and we kinda tryna acheive shoegaze

[atomic tangle]

Oh yea for sure

I love shoegaze

Ofc the first to check has to be My Bloody Valentine

They, Ride and Slowdive, kinda the big 3

[primal tree]

thank uuu

[atomic tangle]

I can pick some fav songs of mine if you want

[primal tree]

yes pleasee

[atomic tangle]

I might do a little playlist, i'll share it in a bit

i just have some work to do

[primal tree]

thankss

[atomic tangle]

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5evzBK1k83wQcV8ZKAuEWI?si=6c450feb9b6441b0 @primal tree Hey hey i have the playlist

Idk if would be the most representative of the sound, but there is a bit of everything, mostly 90s albums, not much of a modern sound

Also there are various types of production and mixing styles, some more blown out and freaky, others more clean and dreamy, i tried to get a bit of everthing there

Shoegaze in a nutshell to me is sweet indie pop songs but drawn out in various types of distortions, reverbs and modulation effects, mostly with vocals really mellow and behind in the mix

[primal tree]

thanks buddyy

[serene star]

Secret Number x Weeekly (Jihan, Soeun) - Starlight + Fall in love

[fringe laurel]

Hello

I have a little trivia but it is only suitable for this channel

https://open.spotify.com/track/5fpyAakgFOm4YTXkgfPzvV?si=79b1808b1d62410a

Who mixes this needs some lecture

The vocal microphone didn't go through the HPF

(High Pass Filter)

Therefore all low-end mouth plosives are heard when you hear this song through a subwoofer

[azure trellis]

For fun guess the time signature

[solar canopy]

7/8?

[azure trellis]

Answer: ||4/4||

Slowed down

[solar canopy]

hmm, first two beats fit 7/8 at around 121 tempo, what tempo did you play at?

[azure trellis]

You know what I think I need to rethink this

I’m so confused

I need to figure out the back end of this

I have the first part figured out

I’m still getting 8 beats

[solar canopy]

At 138bpm 4/4 first two bars fit but rest falls of quite a bit

Did you play it with metronome?

[azure trellis]

Yeah

[solar canopy]

At what tempo?

[azure trellis]

Around 140 yeah

32nd notes are kind of an approximation

Something feels off

[solar canopy]

It definitely is off

[azure trellis]

I’ll have to re-record with a metronome later

[solar canopy]

So you didn't record with a metronome?

[azure trellis]

No, but I did practice it with a metronome

[solar canopy]

Ah I see

[azure trellis]

I’m intentionally lagging for the “32nd” notes

But the left hand is landing on the beat

I guess it should be more considered grace notes

The accent in the second beat is actually on the e

If you’re counting like 1 e + a

oops found another mistake

Gotta record with a metronome

[solar canopy]

I put markers on where you played on where you played first note of the beat and I hope you can see the grid where it actually is, it's almost there but not quite at 140 4/4

[azure trellis]

Yeah makes sense considering I didn’t record with a metronome

It also looks like your beats are longer than mine

[solar canopy]

Aye, always record with one unless you just wanna record some ideas before you forget them

[azure trellis]

Yeah this was an idea I didn’t want to forget

I just came across it somehow

No clue how

[solar canopy]

That's how music goes sometimes, for me at least. I have some interesting one night projects that I have no logical way of continuing, completely different styles than what I usually play but sometimes music just happens

[solar canopy]

I have the grid just set to 1 instead of 1/4 if that's what you mean

[azure trellis]

But tbh I think this wonky off beat thing has it’s charm

It’s just wacky

[solar canopy]

It can work if the piano is the only track, but gets difficult playing other instruments over it if it's not on time

[azure trellis]

I could see it working as a sample

And if I recorded this with midi it would be fine to line up the drums

But yeah it’s way easier to just record it with a metronome lol

[solar canopy]

It is indeed, but I wouldn't still jam only with metronome like many suggest. Often when I'm just jamming without any backing tracks or metronome I end up coming up with more interesting riffs that aren't just 4/4, but then I have to later figure out the time signatures.

[azure trellis]

Yeah, my riff was definitely having me questioning wtf it was

[azure trellis]

@solar canopy I recorded it with a metronome at 142 bpm

My digital doesn’t sound nearly as good as the grand though

Feels a tad fast though

I like 140 a bit better

[serene star]

Good Day (Special Daileee) if it was produced by Avicii

[celest bough]

Are the pitch correction artifacts bothering y'all?:
https://youtu.be/MMK3L4W70g4?si=ceb-xTh_tJvMSRRq

[solar canopy]

Not necessarily, I'd be surprised to not hear any. Of course I'd rather take their voice with the imperfections, but since it's kpop imperfections are not allowed to exist in the seeking of a perfect image. Other than that, mid range seems a bit crowded, but overall I like it.

[celest bough]

Yeah I agree with having to sound perfect in this genre, but it sounds to me like they just turned on autotune and picked a correction speed rather than doing any sort of automation or note-by-note corrections here and there. I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't feel like paying someone to spend the couple extra hours but damn.

Did a 2nd listen. You know what? It's not bothering me nearly as much. Just on some of the longer sustained notes

[molten path]

I heard a little on the teaser and such. Computer tool breakdowns made them more apparent but in combination not too much noticable

[celest bough]

I gave the whole EP a listen and I'm tearing up. It makes me so happy.

[fringe laurel]

I know a Reaper when I see one

My man bought a Behringer audio interface

[solar canopy]

Reaper indeed. Not sure what makes you think behringer tho

Every purchase of Behringer audio interface includes the Reaper software
