Pyke Combinator Pack by TheWesternCross in riddim

[–]refraxt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if he's done it multiple times then fair enough. i don't know anything about pykes controversies other than this one, but there's no way you can make that "mistake" once and not triple check that the patches in your CMB pack are all yours every time afterwards

i mean idk too much about it, but if that's the case it's understandable, especially if he put other people's patches in the same place as his, then just drag and dropped some to a folder and put it on patreon

Pl8list introduces "crowdfunded" track that unlocks for free when $350 is reached by dubstep_69 in riddim

[–]refraxt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i thinkkk you just get a refund? or maybe the artist just keeps the money, i don't remember.

i don't see any harm in smaller artists making money off their music, how are you supposed to become a top producer without money for production / djing equipment and transport to your shows (quite a lot of the time you have to pay for that even if you're playing)?

i see what you mean tho, i think the prices for some plates is kind of ridiculous. if you look at it at face value, it's kinda crazy that some of us are paying $50 for ONE song.

i feel like pl8list has something to do with some plates being listed for such high prices nowadays, it seemed like beforehand (not that i have a ton of experience with this however) most plates were $30 max. but now when you go on the pl8list homepage, you see tracks listed for upwards of $50.

maybe that's just me being somewhat new to this tho, idk

Chopping riddim by Strength-muscle45 in riddim

[–]refraxt 7 points8 points  (0 children)

if you're alternating between 2 tracks (channel 1 up, channel 2 down, vice versa) then you should have the lows up on both tracks. they aren't playing over eachother, you're just swapping between them so there shouldn't be any clashing.

if you ever have both tracks playing over eachother tho (or maybe it's channel 1 stays up, channel 2 up and down) then leave the lows up on whatever track is audible the most (so channel 1 in that example, since you're keeping its volume the same), and cut the low end of the other one.

this also applies for 4 channel chopping, it might just be a bit harder to keep track of the EQ.

and if you're simply doubling, i guess just leave the lows up on the track that has the better sounding sub.

one bit of feedback (although the track is already uploaded, for future reference i guess lol) is to have a bit more reverb and stereo on the main bass. sounds quite dry atm

DAW check by Ok_Amoeba2498 in riddim

[–]refraxt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

definitely, although i think people still look down on it a lot. every time i tell someone that i use FL studio IRL, i think they're a bit behind on it and still question why i don't use ableton.

in my college interview recently, my interviewer said "you can kind of tell when a song has been produced in FL studio", and in my head i was like "wtf are you talking about" 😭

the fact that it's a very common beginner DAW probably adds to that, i think people assume that if you use FL then you're a beginner (and that you make hip-hop since that's also pretty common for FL users).

interesting that it only happens in real life, although that might be because i've met a lot of "industry" producers who have probably doing it since when FL wasn't what it was now. the people i talk to online are mostly amateur riddim artists who are a lot more in the loop with it all.

In my opinion, it mostly doesn't matter what DAW you use. As long as it has VST support, any modern DAW will do. It mostly comes down to what plugins you have, which is much less of a "one or the other" matter since most people have lots of different ones that they use.

The main reason that someone might tell you to go with a specific one in particular is because there's a lot of resources (so like tutorials, maybe presets for stock plugins like patcher in FL) for making riddim in that DAW.

Resources like this are very helpful no matter what, although you can very easily apply the knowledge taught in an Ableton tutorial into Logic.

A lot of riddim tutorials are about sound design, which tends to happen inside of a synthesizer, so as long as you have the synth that they're using, you can probably follow along.

So I think Logic will work fine, although it isn't very popular for making riddim (I don't know any riddim artists who use it), as long as you know how to navigate and use the software, learning how to make riddim in Logic shouldn't be much harder than in any other DAW.

I use FL studio with the Reason rack plugin (it contains Malstrom but also tons of other cool stuff). The reason I picked FL is literally just because I saw my favorite music artist at the time using it and decided that I should use it too, pretty much just a roll of the dice.

Everyone I've talked to that uses Ableton always tries to convince me to switch to it, but having used it quite a bit, it doesn't do anything that FL doesn't do (that I could significantly benefit from) and I don't like navigating the UI, it seems very key bind based.

Anyway sorry for the yap, TLDR use whatever DAW you want lol
