Post WIP's on Vocaroo*. You may NOT link to Soundclouds, Bandcamp - there are dedicated threads for posting them and anything resembling self promotion will result in bad feedback and a three day ban from Zig Forums.
The state of discussion about all music making and audio topics is terrible here on Zig Forums, and we definitely need a dedicated board. Here's the full argument for it: pastebin.com/ZHXhfRZw If you like the idea, let Zig Forums know @ 4channel.org/feedback (under Board Suggestion)
*You can also upload your tracks directly to the feedback thread on filtered.fm and link them here. On top of the easy free hosting you get feedback on both sites.
Anyone know a good VST/Sample Library/Kontakt Library for Double Bass (Also known as Bass, upright bass, string bass, acoustic bass, acoustic string bass, contrabass, contrabass viol, bass viol, bass violin, standup bass, bull fiddle, doghouse bass and bass fiddle) ?

ye

You can just search for this sort of thing on youtube. Plugins and sample libraries always showcase their products with videos
Samuel Richardson
Ample Bass Upright or Trilian Trilian is 10x the size though but there's a torrent available for it on audioz
Jaxon Watson
my new motherboard has obnoxiously high bass, what's a cheap USB soundcard with a "normal" sound profile?
Brayden Richardson
Should a midi keyboard have weighted keys?
Christian Ross
depends
Noah Ramirez
depends if you wanna play stuff like keyscape/addictive keys on it and get authentic piano response then yes i'd say so. but at the same time everyone says that arturia keystep, while not weighted feels incredibly amazing to play and i've seen people use that for those libraries too. if you have zero ability at the keys and you just need them as buttons you push then it doesn't matter.

148 KB PNG I've been struggling with producing for a couple of months now but finally got over the hole of wanting to quit. Problem is I don't know how to produce for my genre "Punk/Trap Metal". I have to try and distort/edit everything I make to try and stay on base but I'm not sure if it sounds good. Here's my latest example. I would appreciate any feedback: voca.ro/1h5qXeeLV03p
Anons, how well does physical dexterity on a MIDI translate to an actual acoustic upright piano / Digital piano with Graded hammer action keys ? I presently own a Nektar GX61 in which I'm learning the basics of theory and trying to cover a few songs. How much of a difference will it be when I switch from the nektar MIDI to a piano with authentic key action ? Will I have to relearn everything ? Should I invest any time at all in increasing my physical dextirity or just stick to theory for the moment until I actually manage to get a piano ? pic for attention pls forgive
I'm very confused by the linked vocaroo, maybe post a yt link of an example of the genre? Maybe its my ignorance but the vocaroo doesn't sound anything like I understand punk / trap metal to be.
Elijah Thompson
That's what I mean. It sounds nothing like it. I'm able to make stuff but none of it for my genre. The first half is the normal sound i made and the last couple seconds are the edited version. Its like a mental blockage to do it.
Parker Reed
Only for playing sample packs of instruments with weighted keys.
Nolan Reed
I just bought the cheapest one. I will learn piano on a real piano
It's all about understanding and applying fundamentals. Take some of your favorites in the genre, sit down and analyze them, like reaaaally analyze them, pull up a notepad and list what makes the song how it is and why. Do that for a few, then take the common denominators and include them in what you make. Remember, there's no shame in taking hefty inspiration, especially if it's just to get a foothold of a genre.

idk that controller so i don't know what kinds of keys it has, but my piano at home has fully weighted keys (of course) that are quite heavy, and whenever i go to my piano lessons it takes me a couple of minutes to get used to the upright piano there because the keys feel lighter and i have to use way less force to get them to sound very loud which fucks me up every time because i have serious trouble playing pp, p or even mp on it cause i'm used to being able to hit the keys with a bit more strength. i have a midi controller that i use for my DAW and it's a novation impulse 61 and the keys feel like a joke in comparison but they're playable, except for the black keys which don't play well at all when i have to hit them in the upper 50% of their body length as you will often have to do when playing extended chords.
Jonathan Davis
are you sure it's the synth's fault
Jaxson Garcia
whose fault would it be? mine because i'm magnetic or charged with electricity and cause the synth to fuck up? inb4 >m-maybe your patches are just bad and that's why!
Camden Powell
yeah i just gave up on this conversation
Christopher Sanchez
Different user, but I've honestly never seen those complaints before, and it seems like it would be a very common and well-known issue (not to mention a major talking point in the analog-digital debate). I dunno...sometimes the MIDI connection with my Microfreak messes up and gives the illusion of crackling, but I can fix that by disarming the MIDI track in my DAW. It could potentially be a lot of things depending on how you used/demoed them.
Granted I've never tried either of those synths, but you know how people like to bitch about the OP-1's price. Seems like that would be their main gripe. Not trying to blame you or anything.
Wyatt Moore
good ideas. glad you decided to stick with it, user. i think it's worth spending more time on the ideas because they're not in context. it's like parmesean without the pasta.
(for posterity xd)
Hunter Thompson
you can actually find that gripe about the OP-1 online but for some reason not many people talk about it. it's definitely documented though if you look through reddit's op1 forum history for example
? i'm not retarded and new to synths, i wouldn't accidentally program a synth patch that sounds like the fucking thing can't actually handle it. we're talking about audio dropouts/glitches/whatever you might want to call them.
Samuel Nguyen
>? >i'm not retarded and new to synths, i wouldn't accidentally program a synth patch that sounds like the fucking thing can't actually handle it. we're talking about audio dropouts/glitches/whatever you might want to call them. Yeah I don't get why you're trying to imply I can't read or something, cause I completely get what you're trying to say. Now fuck off and don't reply to me anymore
Hunter Turner
Isn't that the poo in loo synth? You get what you pay for I guess.
William Hernandez
you sound bitter for some reason, not sure why
Ryan Cruz
>You get what you pay for I guess. it's like 1300 bucks though
Nathan Howard
I'm not bitter, I'm annoyed and I'm getting angry too now (I'm really in touch with my emotions)
Lucas Green
don't know why you never elaborated on your "what if it's not the synth" point
Easton Hughes
should I upgrade my monitors? I have these for years
It's not a point, it's a question to troubleshoot your problem. But I saw that trying to help you was going to be swimming upstream so nah
Ian Morgan
anybody else have a hard time watching pensado stuttering all over the place, breathing heavy, and barely making any sense but his mixes do sound good
Nathaniel Robinson
That's pretty cheap for a 49+ key polysynth.
David Green
>you can actually find that gripe about the OP-1 online I haven't looked much into it because of the insane price honestly, so I stand corrected
Nolan King
Hes an old guy, give him a break
Liam Perry
i tried it out at a store i tried out different patches the problem only occured on the complex ones there's nothing to troubleshoot really. also, i'm not there anymore.
Matthew Bell
>KRK Yes.
I've got Yamaha HS series, and I really like them. Good response and nice and neutral. You'll probably listen to your old tracks and go "Fuck, the mix is terrible" on them, which is good.
James Roberts
its kinda cool maybe a bit random but im likin that bass and that bass line man
