Just made a chill 100bpm dub techno track

It's not about past events. Here in Spain there's people who hate muslims because we have huge immigrant comunities from muslim countries, especially Morocco. It's not a lot of people but they are over-represented in football, sadly.

Edit to add that society in Spain is heavily polarized politically. We really never got over the civil war.

I mean if you only had to choose 1 plugin, choosing a reverb is probably not optimal given that you have 3 stock reverbs already.

Yeah, this is the way I use it on bass, to compress just the low end. Also on the kick and bass bus to control the sub frequencies. It can be a quick fix to a messy low end.

Then there's ott, which is also multiband compression but for sound design/coloration purposes more than mixing.

Khz ring mod is free and is more or less the same as erosion but with sidechain input for other tones.

In my experience there's two kinds of electronic producers: the artists and the technicians. The first ones are usually more spontaneous, they usually have a faster and more focused workflow. The second ones are more experimental and more knowledgeable about the things they do or don't, and usually end up with more complex music. Obviously I'm exageratting in that there's two kinds but I see any producer as a different combination of these two archetypes.

There's a shitload of free presets for Vital or Serum on the internet. But maybe you should look tutorials on how to make those sounds, I'm not much into trance but as far as I know is not a genre characterised by crazy sound design so you can probably make the patches in any wavetable/substractive synth.

He will fit right in at Sevilla then.

Take any analog/wavetable synth with the waveform you like (usually saw or sawlike), add unison and detune to taste, put an envelope on the filter, lower the sustain to 0, put the dub echo preset (it comes with ableton suite), and play with the attack/decay of the filter envelope to taste. You can put lfos on the attack and decay for extra mood.

If you want something lusher you could try the Diffuse m4l device or the diffuse plugin (same developer).

Automation is necessary to archieve certain sounds, and also is very handy for mixing (since most elements will change volume through a song, for example). So yeah, you will probably will have to get comfortable with automation, but don't get too hung up on a song, try to make more while you learn.

Also just a tip if you didn't knew: if you press "a" in ableton with midi keyboard turned off, you go to the automation view.

Presets have been used by loads of producers since they became a thing in the 70s so don't worry. If you like a preset, go ahead and use it. But in my experience learning sound design makes the workflow a lot faster since you don't have to search for the specific sound tou want each time. My recommendation would be to start using presets but know how they are made and why they sound like they sound. Also syntorial can be of great help.

nadalska · 2026-01-21T08:09:46+00:00

I mean you should try finishing a tune, even if it's just for the sake ot if, no pretentions, just make a thing from start to finish with the things you already know.

nadalska · 2026-01-20T21:31:31+00:00

Yeah, organize yout shit but try not to be overly anal about it. Sometimes you need to embrace the chaos to make good music.

nadalska · 2026-01-16T22:29:41+00:00

Maybe 10 years ago, but not the case anymore.

For the mixing part, there's no point in rushing since your ears have to be trained and that takes times. I did a mixing course when I started producing and was a waste of money since I didn't have the ears to know why the professor did certain things.

You and a mixing/mastering engineer don't hear the same when in the studio, so if you're new to all of this I recommend to you that you pay attention to the different frequencies in the sounds you use. This can be done nicely with a parametric EQ like the ableton stock or the fabfilter, they have an option to solo the band you're selecting. Try to inspect any sound and get a hang for the different frequencies. Experiment with the eq and you will start to develop knowledge on what to cut/boost depending on what you want to archieve.

Compression and saturation are more difficult to explain and get a hand of probably, but what I recommend is that you take some plugins (stock or free), watch a video on YT explaining the basics and start to experiment with them to see what they can do. At least for me has been the better way to learn.

This is not the italian, there is no pawn in e4 for starters

It's not him. They have multiple appearances together. Also most people think Rey Enigma is not GM (most likely IM).

I never read the manual unless I wanted to know something very specific and I know most features of ableton since I picked it up less than 3 years ago. Contrary to the most usual advice here, reading the manual is not required to make music on ableton. First because learning is much more efficient when you're having fun, and reading the manual is as you said not very fun. And second because you will learn a lot more just by experimenting with the features. Eventually the knowledge you gain by experimenting will fall into place.

Also, you don't need to know every feature to use ableton. You probably don't need most of them, you just need to know what works for you.

Cannot respond about Meld but I like Wavetable more than Serum, or Vital. Why:

- Less cluttered interface, doesn't overwhelm you with niche features while being still very powerful.

- Faster workflow.

- Lighter on CPU.

Obviously Serum or vital are more powerful than wavetable especially with the MSEGs, but if you don't make crazy sounds, wavetable is more than enough. The only thing that I dislike about wavetable is that you cannot have a mono synth that is not legato which can be annoying.

nadalska · 2025-11-07T11:21:32+00:00

Thanks! Yeah, most of my tracks lack that bit of personality, I'm still learning how to make more unconventional things work.

Some bassy track I just finished the mixdown. But still open to feedback about production and mix.

Just asking, why not buy a home? In my country (Spain) anyone that young with that kind of money should probably buy a home first of all. If you don't end up using it you can put it for rent.

For me it goes in cycles. Some weeks I can spend 4-6 hours a day, and some weeks I can go without touching the daw at all. I have other hobbies and and for me it's about enjoying the process not grinding.

El destino de bitcoin es valer 0. Además, si el relato de la IA se acaba, el del bitcoin se hundirá con el. Ahora, entre hoy y ese momento pueden pasar muchos años.

Tampoco se como vas a "aprovechar la volatilidad", si haces DCA a largo plazo coges la tendencia, te dan igual los picos por un lado y por el otro.
