So I have this song I made and acoustic off time it sounds great but when I have to use a click and everything it fricking sucks recording my uke and voice into a daw having to force it to be on time sucks to is there any tips or anything yall got for this

I’m wanting to get into making OST-type stuff, but also messing around. I’m a fresh beginner. What DAW should I get?

hiii !! i have a dell laptop, im just getting into music production and i was wondering what kind of daw would i be able to get? logic wouldve worked best for me but unfortunately i dont have the right device, any suggestions?

i've been using pcs my whole life and have no idea where to start with something pre built. I definitely prefer windows since i've been using it forever and haven't touched mac once in my life. CPU needs to be 2ghz or faster (example they give is an i5 dual core or faster. i'd imagine this baselines low though), 16gb ram, at least 1tb of storage.

looking for something that'll last at least the 4 years i'll need it for but won't cost TOO much, budgets around 1500 but id prefer closer to 1k if possible. id also like to use it for gaming and djing but they're second priorities.

So it’s used heavily in film scoring, Hans Zimmer a lot, as well as people like Aaron Hibell. Some super random song examples I can think of if we’re not talking film music, is near the start of Sweet Geat Lightning by Gregory Alan Isakov and Ceilings by Lizzy McAlpine. I know, super random but they’ve got it.

It’s almost like deep muffled explosion sound, but just heavily EQ’d with a low pass. But I cba to add an explosion sound effect and EQ it every time when I know there’s a simple way to achieve this professional sound. I’d really appreciate if anyone can point me in the right direction or even a specific sound effect that I can use. Ask away if I’ve left any info out, thank you so much.

Song: Paw Prints by Alec Benjamin

trying to learn it on my keyboard but I don’t know the chords. If anyone can help it’s much appreciated.

Ok do producers come up with good melodies or flows (after making the beat) and show singers and rapper when and how to say their words and stuff

Because a lot for famous singers and rappers are just really dumb and high all the time and can barely talk in interviews and I can't imagine them coming up with a hit melody or flow

Also sometimes producers are credit for also writing but a lot of people say it's because writing is when producers make the beat but that's still suspicious imo

Maybe that just hum on the beat tho so idk and they aren't as dumb as I think

I'm currently working on some stuff at the moment and I don't exactly have access to live drums. I'm not fond of midi drums because they just sound so fake to me. What are some alternatives midi or otherwise that sound very obviously fake but still sounds good. I hope this makes sense.

I'm trying to see the way different songs I like were structured and made. Is there a way to upload then into my DAW(Studio One)?

Hello, i'm looking for good guitar amp simulator, i've been thinking of Guitar rig v6, but i have read that it's not that good.

What software would you recommend, that has virtual amps, effects and all. I am using reaper, and been using NAM, but it is quite confusing.

I'm on mac, and primarily make doujin music like MEGAREX.

Hey everyone!

My real name is Stefan and I am thinking about using it as my artist name for DJing and producing electronic music. I checked Spotify and Beatport and found a few artists using just my first name in completely different genres, as well as electronic music artists who use my first name with a surname added. Since no electronic act uses my first name alone, I would love to know if keeping my real name is a good idea, or if having this name overlap will cause confusion, streaming, or branding issues I might run into, or if I should just look for a unique alias instead.

Thanks

Hey people. I am currently trying to produce my bands EP and everything is completed besides bass guitar. we couldn't find ourselves a bass player and time is running out, so I thought maybe I can produce it through DAW. any recommends for me about it? like which VST's should I use and stuff. I would be interested in such tones as Varials, Knocked Loose etc.

thank you for your answer!

What would anyone suggest for woodwinds, strings for scoring... I got some strings , textures VST already, I need definitely some woodwinds.. I can also share what i have.

Im thinking of some of these: from Orchestral Tools: Igudesman Solo Violin, Whisper Gentle wind instruments, Berlin Woodwinds... but I need some advices for the fellow users.

Im also open for spitfire and other brands

Would you suggest me get the base M5 16/1TB over the M1 Max 64/1TB? I do beatmaking in FL Studio (Nexus, Spire, Serum, Kontakt etc.) and vocal recording, sound design, mixing and mastering in cubase :)

I'm currently on a windows workstation laptop (HP ZBook Fury 16 G11) and it's a reeeal headache :/

making music is such a dream thing that I want to do so badly.. i love making art and music is like the next logical skill, it genuinely keeps me up at night thinking about how much I WISH I could make a song

but my problem is that I am basically tone deaf(not really I can tell differences between tones very well actually), everything I make sounds mid . which would be fine if I was making good music but I am making the most god awful out of tune off beat garbage and thinking it sounds alright,,, I'm not exaggerating either my music sounds like the yumeshipper chis a song unironically

I cannot fathom how to make a chord progression or a melody, even a simple drum pattern turns out bad,,

do they make like courses where they teach you how to hear music?? or maybe a server where people can listen to my slop and tell me how to fix it ?? genuinely I think there is no hope for me it's just all so awful...

thank you in advance
