So im trying to recreate a spectacular beat and that song im trying to recreate uses a drum sample, for some reason, the when i play the piano and drums together, the piano sounds offbeat, idk how to make it sound on beat

#

@blissful palm

blissful palm
#

You'll need to post a sample of the audio, and a screenshot of your playlist and piano roll.

rare sorrel
#

im cutting it out with the edison

#

but then

#

i have a piano loop

#

that piano loop sounds hella offbeat

#

the song is set to 87 bpm

#

i time stretched it and still sounds like shit

blissful palm
#

Screenshots please.

#

I can't diagnose a timing issue without seeing the waveform.

rare sorrel
#

oh

#

ill send it to u in 20 mins

#

hold on cuz i gotta do something

#

quick question

#

do u have serum @blissful palm

#

or xpand 2

#

or rc 20

#

or serato

#

i just said a handful

blissful palm
#

No. I only use stock plugins.

rare sorrel
#

oh ok

#

serum and harmor are kind of a like... in a way

#

do you know how to create a supersaw

#

or choir pads

novel ravine
#

Wow is it really you !!!!!!

cursive sphinx
#

what was the problem here again ?

rare sorrel
#

@cursive sphinx

cursive sphinx
#

hi

#

whats up ?

rare sorrel
#

ight so like

#

I have a drum sample I want to incorperate with my beat, I got the tempo right, but it sounds very offbeat with my pianos

#

idk if i messed up with the pianos

#

im trying to recreate a song

cursive sphinx
#

have you time stretched any thing and are your samples in the correct bpm to begin with ?

rare sorrel
#

drum sample is 173 which is what the song is set to

#

and i did not time stretch anything

cursive sphinx
#

and the pianos are correct time, they are just late on the beat?

rare sorrel
#

i feel like it's late on the beat 😭

cursive sphinx
#

have you tried sliding them forward?

rare sorrel
#

idk how to get it ont ime

cursive sphinx
#

are the pianos in midi or wav ?

rare sorrel
#

nah pianos not a sample

#

i did it thru a plugin

#

drums a sample

cursive sphinx
#

have you checked the ATTACK rate on the plugin ?

rare sorrel
#

yeah

#

i put it thru a transient

#

they are on time with that

cursive sphinx
#

if the pianos are how you want them to sound

#

print them to audio ?

#

then line it up ?

rare sorrel
#

wdym

cursive sphinx
#

well your pianos are coming from a VST reading midi notes right?

rare sorrel
#

my pianos coming from keyscape and im using a midi keyboard

cursive sphinx
#

okay well if you are complete on the piano work

#

render them to audio

#

aka print

rare sorrel
#

what does rendering do again

#

ive been using for 5 months dont know too much

#

😭

cursive sphinx
#

it turns your plug in and midi information into a sample like your .wav file drum loop

cursive sphinx
#

try this

#

on your piano

rare sorrel
#

mhm

cursive sphinx
rare sorrel
#

oh consolidation

#

i dont want to consolidate it though

cursive sphinx
#

you wont lose any thing

rare sorrel
#

ik

#

but you are making one gigantic loop

#

with it

#

im trying ot format everything

cursive sphinx
#

yeah

#

if your piano work is 100%

#

consolidate it to audio

#

then align the audio to your drums

rare sorrel
#

kk

#

btw i have a question

#

do u know how to use maximus im still learning

cursive sphinx
#

yes

#

it is a multiband compressor

rare sorrel
#

ye

#

how do u use it idk much

cursive sphinx
#

once it clicks it seems so easy

rare sorrel
#

whats the basic parameters

cursive sphinx
#

but compression is a mind fuck before you understand it

rare sorrel
#

yeah i know what it does but

cursive sphinx
#

well, you know low/mid/high

rare sorrel
#

dont know how to get around

rare sorrel
cursive sphinx
#

yeah you basically control the compression curve for each band

rare sorrel
#

im making hiphop how can u use compression on a beat

cursive sphinx
#

compression is used every where on most things

rare sorrel
#

mhm

cursive sphinx
#

it might be easier to just use 1 compressor per instrument to begin with

#

the FL compressor

#

let me pull up some tutorials for you

rare sorrel
#

nah i wanna shoot straight to multiband

#

i have fabfilter pro q 3

#

😭

#

i wasted tons of money

#

its multiband comp/eq right

cursive sphinx
rare sorrel
#

thanks

cursive sphinx
#

and FF pro-q3 is still worth the money

rare sorrel
#

yeah

#

its really good

#

@cursive sphinx should i start using fruity convolver iheard its rlly good

cursive sphinx
#

convolver is a really good reverb, luxeverb is also very good too

#

but they can still sound like trash if you dont know what you're doing with them or using them for the wrong things at the wrong time

#

its like if you have the phattest kick and the crispest snare but you are totally ass at making beats, the samples are wasted lol

rare sorrel
#

have any idea on making phatass distorted 808s

cursive sphinx
#

yeah i got a million

rare sorrel
#

lmk

#

tryna find out

#

like the crunchiest 808s

cursive sphinx
#

google bark of the dog vst

#

or use fl blood over drive

#

there's a lot of distortion and saturation plugins for free

rare sorrel
#

do you know valhalla supermassive

#

wait

cursive sphinx
#

yes#

rare sorrel
#

thats reverb

cursive sphinx
#

it is

rare sorrel
#

good distortions and saturators?

#

i got rc 20

#

if that is any good

cursive sphinx
#

that's good in its own thing but not for 808 distortions

#

you can get guitar rig for free

rare sorrel
#

oh

#

the kontakt one?

cursive sphinx
#

its a standalone

#

but yeah the native instruments one

rare sorrel
#

its good for 808 dist?

cursive sphinx
#

they're distortions

rare sorrel
#

thought it was a bass distorter

cursive sphinx
#

how you use them matters

#

there's a bit of audio engineering science behind it

#

but its not that deep

rare sorrel
#

ight

#

yo could i make bangers and hits with only stock

#

watchu think

cursive sphinx
#

yes

rare sorrel
#

i love sytrus

#

and grossbeat

cursive sphinx
#

people do it all the time

rare sorrel
#

damn

#

what bout autogun

cursive sphinx
#

sound selection is on you fam

rare sorrel
#

yes boss

cursive sphinx
#

it takes a while to refine your tastes and ears

rare sorrel
#
