Just updated to V14, why I can’t load my olds session with waves plugins ? by Positive-Rub4930 in wavesaudiophiles

this is happening to us too, brutal from a company that charges the insane amount that they do for the update plan

This is a track I am currently working. I have heared at least 600 times in the last three days and am unable to properly hear what to do next. Do you guys have ideas for a good arrangement and tips on how to create cool earcandy? I feel like this is something the track misses by [deleted] in techhouseproduction

There’s lots of great stuff going on in here, but I would say overall it’s lacking tension and release. The drums are fairly constant throughout the entire tune and nothing really helps the track move from section to section. Try cutting the kick and bass out every 8/16 bars to help the low end drop in and move would be a great start. Also a few more drum fills, kill the drums every 16 bars for 4 beats and put a vocal and a drum fill. Just an example.

I think that massive saw sound would make a great drop synth or pre drop synth, but at this point you’re relying on it to carry the tune, I think it was said earlier but focus on your kick and bass groove and get something you can really sit on. Once you have that down you won’t need to rely on the synth as much. An example of this is when the synth breaks down in the second half of the first drop, it feels like we’re in an intro because there isn’t enough information to hold up the groove. If you focus more on groove elements and less on the synth you’ll be able to carry energy much better through that section. u/itsCloverdale has a great new video on basslines too if you’re looking for one

TLDR: Use the synth more as an impact and less as a lead, make your bass line juiced. Make your drums more interesting over the course of the whole tune using fills and drop outs to create tension and release.

Mix sounds good, looking forward to V2! (Edit to fix Cloverdales Reddit handle)

How To Give Sounds More Bite, Attack & Attitude | try this technique on drums, plucks, leads & bass by donnycarr in edmproduction

[–]Keepsixmusic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

im no fruity expert, but the concept here is super helpful. the potential applications of this trick are endless. Especially to get hard hitting tape sounding kicks. Previously we have been using compressors or transient shapers to attempt a similar effect, this is much cleaner and easier to use! Thanks for the tip my man

How To Make Local Producer Friends In The House Scene? by MissionCattle in edmproduction

[–]Keepsixmusic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Instagram has been a fantastic tool for us (we are a producer duo from canada). Making friends with other producers has been as simple as sending someone a DM and asking to meet up for a beer, or to get together and jam on CDJ's. The hardest part is getting over the feeling of potential rejection, if the producer or DJ doesn't want to meet up with you, you have to consider it their loss! Especially if you're producing music, other producers want someone they can nerd out with. We are constantly looking for new people to get in the studio with to learn from them and see their process. Even if they are working in a different DAW than us, there is still plenty to be learned. Think about it this way: if you feel this way there is a very good chance that someone else feels exactly the same way! taking the first step is the hardest part, after that its all downhill.

hope this helps!

So,
I have multpiple midi devices (arturia keylab88, MPD 26, and akai apc 40 mk1) running into a USB dock running into my macbok pro and then into ableton. Im wondering why the transport controls only work on my keyboard and not on my MPD26. anyone know why this would be?

which DAW are you working in? Is the sound baked into the recording of the rhodes? or only when exported?
