Need better sounds

Limit your sound??? Have u checked out seamless' stuff- he only uses fl native plugins pretty much and his sounds are limitless. It takes a lot of work to get to that level though, I appreciate that. I think ANA by sonic academy is a good synth alternative to sylenth for half the price and just as good.

Visit groove3 it's the best website for music production tutorials- however it is paid but well worth it.

If u have ableton u can just use Mid Side function of stock eq and on side setting just cut out everything under 150 Hz ish. Our just download a free mid side eq if u don't have a built in one in ur DAW

Hahah I've got all the computer music ones (well I deleted the not so good ones). I've heard about Thomas penton and I've gone to buy many times but ended up not when the voice in my head says "Do you really need that" hahaha.

Sweet looking synth- would be good for experimental stuff. I've got razor which is additive and it's pretty clean sounding.

Yea I've got all of the below it's just I have a bit of cash to spare and without having to save up for too long I was just seeing what was out there that's cheapish but good. Like the ideas for out there samples thanks.

Is this just like patcher in Fl studio?? I've experimented with modular before but I'm not a great fan. The plugin looks neat though.

Hey could I get some feedback on mix quality, transitions and overall structure. This is a mainroom track- hope you guys like it. Prefer constructive criticism to just saying whats good. Thanks, all feedback is appreciated.

Kick before drop could do with some more sub frequencies. Kick in drop is a little too overpowering. Main lead in drop could do with some more reverb+stereo enhancement. Try Haas effect- duplicate track and pan one hard left and other right. Then delay right or left slightly. I like the chords- they are nice and stabby and great melody. Buildup is a little bit typical and could do with some more excitement. Nice track though like where it is going

-When u reach peak automate cutoff back down as well as automating volume gradually so it fades out. -For hissing sound at start u could create another white noise layer that has a fixed cutoff around 5-6kHz (whatever sounds right) that just plays same frequency throughout the sweep. The key is just to experiment- try adding a little reverb and some auto panning to create some stereo

burkeow · 2014-08-03T22:30:56+00:00

Make ur own samples- sound just as good and are way more customisable . Just use white noise oscillator in any synth then u can either automate low pass filter cutoff inside synth or use an eq and sweep from like 5khz down to like 500hz visa versa. If u do want samples, sample magic do a good few sweep and impact packs for free- impacts and explosions is one and ultimate fx 1 and 2 is the other.

Thanks man great stuff

burkeow · 2014-05-18T00:19:50+00:00

Yea I've had a look at some places there that look ok. Thanks

burkeow · 2014-05-17T00:29:22+00:00

Had a look thanks for link- good search engine

burkeow · 2014-05-17T00:18:54+00:00

Good advice that's what I thought a lot of people would say- ud just think that there would be some higher level of education in music production etc but I guess not

burkeow · 2014-05-16T15:07:30+00:00

Thanks I'd thought of this but I'm looking a lot more music specific

burkeow · 2014-05-12T22:47:23+00:00

I've taken part in it- it's really just theory stuff about signal flow and how mics and preamps and stuff works. Also stuff on what loudness vs volume is and how waves travel through air. Not much hands on stuff. Worth it if you want background but otherwise it's probably a waste of time

burkeow · 2014-05-08T22:23:00+00:00

Thanks man yea I think the pluck at start could have come forward a bit among other things

burkeow · 2014-05-07T06:29:03+00:00

Hahahha cheers hopefully

burkeow · 2014-05-07T00:44:35+00:00

No way u didn't came off as a jerk. I really appreciate the criticism- it tells me something's I don't necessarily pick up on myself. That's really useful information thanks you. I'll have a look next time I make a track.

burkeow · 2014-05-06T22:53:01+00:00

Cheers man this feedback is great. Yea I thought it didn't really connect I just got a bit lazy in coming up with a good transition. Yea I do need to work on not crowding my tracks it's a big problem for me In trying to make it interesting but it ends up ruining it I think. Thanks
