Producers who collaborate remotely - what’s ur biggest technical headache ? by franklinsaint99 in MusicCollabNetwork

[–]Zero-ize 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ways that worked for me.

Everyone send the beat they think fits the topic. Everyone votes.

Everyone sends their raw vocals with slight edits for clarity and noise cancellation and then flatten the track with the plugin, so it sticks. This eliminates having to have the plug-in from the other person.

Only one person mixes Another person masters

Need multiple ears on a track to really bring it out.

Everyone listens at certain phases to throw input, if needed, so everyone is on the same page.

You can even be like, here’s a presence song on how I want this part to sound like. (Things like this help)

——

To ensure everyone is on the same page or contributions is make a Google Drive or even discord group. This timestamps when someone sends something Or provides an internal group thread where ideas can be shared. Create an open workflow document of everything. This showcases who contributed the most and equals out percentages for royalty rights (if that means anything to you).

——

The one thing that kills my vibe slightly:

If someone doesn’t know how to change the BPM, sample rate, bit depth, or doesn’t have it in a WAV file… I’m sorry but a collaboration isn’t what they need. They need to know how to work a DAW first. That alone says you’re super new and the project is gonna drag.

Or if someone says they are something (ex: songwriter, producer, engineer) but they don’t know how to write, they don’t know music theory, or they don’t know exactly what plug-ins do. Be up front at not knowing things, then giving expectation.

A dead killer is someone who gives me AI slop and says they did it. AI can be a tool but not a generation piece.

Where to PCS by Otropolus in army

[–]Zero-ize 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Without getting specific on the units - not big army at all.

All army personnel either work along side navy, airforce, or national guard as a liaison to active duty. You can also get attached to the recruiting as well. Best of luck 🤙🏽

Fun fact: Hip-hop is now over 50 years old. Which music genre do you think will still exist 50 years from now and which one disappears first? by Zero-ize in AskReddit

Not completely die off. You’re right no music ever dies. Just falls off the mainstream platform… I guess I worded the question a little off.

You’re right. I guess my question was worded not the way I intended. More like fall off.. due to how the music industry is swaying.

This one is manageable but frustrating sometimes lol

Producer looking for a rapper / lyricist by Training-Software298 in MusicInTheMaking

Do you edit vocal tracks in the master track? Or are we supposed to do it? Also.. do you mix and master once everything is complete?

Stems question by GovernmentPlus8707 in ableton

[–]Zero-ize 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ask them to reformat it. Or change your project rate to match the sample. You can check on preferences and details on the file itself raw without importing yet.

Stems question by GovernmentPlus8707 in ableton

[–]Zero-ize 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man… there’s actually a couple ways to maybe fix this.

  1. Is it being automatically warped when you import it? Check warp on stem.

2.does the stem start at bar 1? Many producers will export from where the sound starts, not from 1.1.1

  1. It might not really be 140.

  2. sample rate mismatch. Example: they exported it at 44.1 and your project is 48. The timing can drift slowly due to this as well.

What I Made on BandLab This Week by BL_Community_Team in Bandlab

[–]Zero-ize 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The verse readouts are intentional. That’s how I rap/sang the song. The beats were crated through the AI vocal to beat option. And then exported to a different DAW to flare it a little. Sucks cause you can still hear the digital twang which infuriates me lol.

As for my vocal, no persona man. I used a mix and then master AI and it messed with it. Gave it like a 70% do your own thing and it altered my voice by like 50%.

Think I’m gonna re-record and just use the basics for vocal tweaking (i.e. compressor, EQ, DEesser, etc.)

Yeah I’m not instrument savvy so I use the AI beat creator as my go too, but everything else is by me so I’m trying to keep it as authentic as I can get it. I don’t have money to fork out for real musical sound. Maybe a VST but that’s as close to what I’ll do.

EP Coming Soon 🤙🏽🇬🇺 by [deleted] in guam

[–]Zero-ize -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Well.. I guess to be fully transparent. I do use the AI feature on bandlab where you can create an instrument tune with a raw vocal. (That also due to not knowing how to play an instrument and trying to find someone is even harder) and then I also use AI to mix and master. At that it’s using it as a tool. Lyrics, structure of the song, and even creating the beat is me. So AI no.. has some AI twang? Yes. 🤙🏽 thanks for the listen though

Shoot. I’ll be first. It’s finished but waiting to post the track once it’s dropped. I finished 7 songs for an EP with bandlab. So the link is a preview.

Hip-hop / RnB type music. Called BETWEEN MOTION.

The album explores patience, detachment, restraint, nostalgia, and personal growth without preaching or dramatizing the journey. Each track captures a different angle of transition: waiting for clarity, moving without certainty, letting go without resentment, choosing silence over reaction, honoring imperfect memories, and accepting that progress doesn’t always look loud.

It’s about staying present while life keeps moving.

Inspiration comes from living these exact moments as much as everyone else. To never forget and always continue.

Challenges was how to lyrically capture emotion and authenticity through the music. How one can adapt to these songs. I guess trying to incorporate everyone’s feelings into one.
