r/ProMusicProduction

I'm looking to purchase a pair of headphones for music production, I've heard a lot about K 92 AKG - but at the same time I'm also heard it is not good for music production.

I also heard about other brands liken Sony, sennheiser, Fiio etc

Could somebody please help me finalise one?

My budget is up to 10K INR

Wussup everyone,

I’ve noticed a lot of people here regularly share their mixes looking for feedback on how to improve their sound, which is awesome to see.

I’m curious would you find it useful to have an automated tool that gives you detailed mix feedback based on industry references or the kind of sound you’re trying to achieve (e.g. similar artists or genres)?

I’m exploring the idea and would love your input.

Hi there, I just wanted to put out feelers.

I was wondering if anyone knows where I could obtain a license for this version of ableton live.

I'm aware that this version is... well... 20 years outdated and I do own live suite 12 but I'm looking to do some comparisons and stress testing to see how well it holds up in the big 2026.

In ableton's archive you can download and setup this version but I haven't found a way of authorizing it. You get stuck on the enter ser-ial number.

So... any suggestions?

So I was working on a remix of a song and i bounced it and there was a pop on one word and so i went back in logic and played it and the pop wasnt there and so like i bounced it again and it was still there and so i duplicated the file to start messing with it and even with all the plugins off, it would still pop so i was like whatever, ive been working on this for hours and i really dc anymore so i bounced it one more time in the original file and there was no more popping and i was really shocked and so i did it one more time and then it was popping again so yeah i kept the first one but like this whole situation js makes me scared to make more music even tho ive been making music for a year bc idk how to prevent this or even stop it. but yeah id really appreciate some feedback bc like this really has me panicking

I have a problem where MME driver has latency and noise when playing qwerty (or any type of midi) . I downloaded ASIO4all v2 and put 44100 for In/Out Sample Rate but i have almost inaudible glitching and spikes that i noticed only cause my ears started hurting (quite a lot where they got sensitive ) after only minutes, hell even 2 seconds of very normal soft audio (my alto gilry singing voice) at 40% volume of my laptop... fucking crazy... I askes AI and it said I have to use scarlett interface or switch to MME constantly whe i want audio and ASIO4all when i want to record midi (and that only with a quiet plugin like piano on low volume)
Thats sounds so god damn restrictive... is this the only answer?

Good morning music pipo, ✨

I’m currently building a sound treated corner in my apartment, learning about mixing, mastering, AND shopping for a microphone to record and produce my vocals for my first studio album. but I’m a newbie and I need your help, here’s some info for context:

- My genre is a mix between dream/art pop and electronic with r&b and world-music influences.

- The style of the vocals I’ll be recording range from intimate, close, airy and delicate, with runs and riffs, through some more warm, sensual, smoky vocals, also belts in the mid range, and soaring highs with mixed belts in the 4th octave.

- My voice type has been described as “clear and bright”, young, modern. I’ve been told it’s a “Disney princess” voice, other references I’ve been compared to are Barbara Streisand, Ariana Grande. I can also sing in a more opaque, darker style, in a Lana Del Rey or more soul-inspired style, for example. I do wish my voice was fuller, smokier, warmer and more emotional, so I want the recording to help bring more body and fullness in my tone, without losing where I shine which might be that brightness and youthful sweetness/sparkle. (I know, kind of contradictory but I hope there’s ways to make this happen)

- Room treatment options: I can create some DIY room treatment with blankets, rugs, my mattress, pillows etc. I will record either in my bedroom or my living room. They both have reverb and echo so I’ll make a little corner for recording inside them.

- Equipment I have: Scarlett interface, Bose quiet comfort 45 headphones, computer, and I’m still deciding between Logic and Ableton. Currently trying Logic after ableton free trial.

- I have like 700-800 bucks total to invest rn

- I’m planning on producing, mixing and mastering my own music, learning as I go because it’s my first time doing this.

So my questions for those here experienced in recording and producing female art pop are:

♦️1. While I know there’s plenty of home studio microphone recommendations,** I’m asking specifically people who have worked with voices and projects similar to mine, how does the choice of microphone bring out different colors in a vocal**?

What stylistic effect does one of the popular recommendations have over another, for my type of voice?

If you were my producer and had 600 bucks for the mic, and wanted my first EP to sound as professional and competitive and magical as possible, which would you choose?

and also

♦️ 3. Do you see a red flag or lack in the equipment in my basic setup that could hinder a good result?

…And if you’re feeling generous….

♦️ 4. Any advice for a girl recording and producing her first album by herself?

Thank you in advance for your time and wisdom.

Kiss on the forehead, and may the song be with you💋
