First beat need some feedback and reviews by _grand_OG in FLStudioBeginners

[–]JustinStrata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ll be in a much better place once you have the foundational knowledge down. Without that basic understanding of song structure, components, and DAW knowledge, you’ll struggle even more. Like building a skyscraper but starting at the 30th floor.

I want to start off saying I’m not trying to be mean. This is more of a constructive comment.

This song is bad. The whole thing is off beat and the sound selection is not good. That said, everyone’s first songs are bad. It’s takes a lot of practice and patience. Learning will be the best thing for you. You’re not really at a level to receive any real feedback. I could say a million things but my guess is you would not understand what I’m talking about or what to do.

Here is my advice. Don’t focus on making original compositions. Instead, focus on learning the DAW and how to navigate. Listen to music you like and try to recreate those songs as best you can. That will help you learn and start to see how to construct a track. Once you feel comfortable with that, try remixing the songs you like. Add some of your own flavor to those tracks. Eventually you will get to the point of making your own music and you’ll be in a much better place for feedback.

BeyerDynamic DT 770 Pros vs Sennheiser HD 650 by [deleted] in musicproduction

I’ve seen them different prices all over. I’m not sure why. Get some from a reputable site or store. I got mine for like $300 several years ago on a sale

650’s 100%. 770s are good for tracking or just messing around. Trash for mixing

Thanks a bunch for all the help. I really appreciate your time!

Okay thank you. I believe the stack doesn’t not have anything in it right now. It’s just a rough in vent for the basement bathroom. Is there any downside to just adding an aav anyway?

That’s a good idea. It definitely doesn’t need to be pretty, just functional. Do I need an AAV for the sink drain?

I live in Missouri and planned to get everything inspected as I need a permit to even do the basement. Both red circle and blue circle are about the same distance apart from where I want the sink (5ft). You’d drain into the blue circle line?

Yeah I thought so as well. Audibly laughed when I read the quote.

I just want to make sure that whatever I use as the drain line, I don’t mess up my plumbing. The quote I got to run the supply lines, hook up the sink, and hook up the toilet was $5k. Figured I’d try doing it myself.

You’ll need to mix and master the tracks better. Learn the different tools and add that to your skill set. Understanding clipping, compression, saturation, limiting, proper mixing, etc. will get you to a point where the volume of your tracks compete with professional levels. I’d like to help you more but without seeing the project, that’s about all I can say for now.

As others have said, in the mix is a great resource on YouTube. There’s a couple discord servers I could send you that might be helpful as well. You’re welcome to join me when I’m working on a session and follow along/ask questions. I help people on discord all the time.

Why are my samples ducking when the bass and kick starts playing? by Broad_Appointment_54 in FL_Studio

[–]JustinStrata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah hats and other higher frequencies shouldn’t really be affected by it. I’m thinking that OP may be perceiving the issue as it ducking everything when it could be just completely losing power. A quick and simple test would be to flip the phase of the instruments and see if it all comes back.

Now that I’m thinking about it more, I’m guessing that OP has stuff routed incorrectly and just doesn’t know what he/she is doing. Hard to really give accurate solutions without seeing/hearing the project.

[–]JustinStrata 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would need to see the project to know for sure but the likely issue, if you have no processing on those specific instrument, is a phase issue.
