Even though this is really short, it feels too finished to go in the sketches thread (although I'll probably go back and add a bassline) Peculiar Maybe I overdid the glitchiness  Samples are Simon & Garfunkel - A Most Peculiar Man amd The Honeydrippers - Impeach the President.

Anyone know a good sample pack for realistic sounding snare drums? I'd especially like to do rolls sometimes and I've got no good samples for that kind of thing.

Now that I think about it, the line "these are/the last days of disco" doesn't really flow very well, like it's off the beat or the emphasis is on the wrong words. I'm not really sure how you would fix that, though. quote:I like your track, it's very Aphex Twin. Cheers.

the funny thing about Glitch is that the guy who made it is a Renoise user which means even he doesn't use the thing. if anybody's even sort of interested in glitchy breakbeat type stuff, you really should just learn to use a tracker. not that it's a bad song at all! i think it would just be better if the effects were more deliberate.

I haven't posted a song in ML in goddamn forever, and I've finally stopped making "give no gently caress" breakcore type stuff.... This is the first rock/electro/whateva sketch I've managed to turn in to a full song. I've got about 10,000 more sketches along the same lines that I'll be finishing in the next few weeks (I had to take the vacation hours i racked up in the kitchen I work in, god bless those corporate bastards...) I'm looking for feedback on the composition more than anything, but if anyone wants to comment on the mix, thats pretty ok too... The second guitar part is just an "RSE" track from Guitar Pro, my MBox is freaking out on me, so I'm stuck with it for the time-being. Everything else was done in Reason and Guitar Rig 3. I'm pretty happy with the track, but I'd rather get some advice/criticism than leave it as is... Merkin Muffley fucked around with this message at 07:18 on Aug 21, 2009 |

Speaking of which, does anyone here use Renoise? Is it worth getting? I make all kinds of insane electronic music, currently using mostly Ableton and a little bit of Reaktor, dunno if it's worth the effort to learn a new program.

I wanted to give substantive criticism, because even though I'm a hater, I'm a producer first and can always find something I enjoy about a track. But this was all such a thin, Reasony-preset sounding dull mess. Maybe post another sketch. This on just totally didn't do it for me in any way. Vocals could only add to how ridiculous is.

Not really a nerd but good with computery type things so should be able to get somewhere with it. The wiki article on trackers linked me to this video which is pretty cool. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGK-EzEa45U According to the wiki it was uploaded by the man himself.

I never tried to rewire it in to ableton, i used to mainly just chop up breaks and do drums to bounce and then import to fl. i'll have to try that. i DID get two computers midi slaved to eachother once and me and my bro had a tracker battle thing, that was crazy. And of COURSE I started using trackers cuz I thought snares was so sick.

I have about 30gb of reason refills but I loving HATE sequencing in it so I'm just about the drat happiest boy in the world right now. what the devil would you rewire ableton into renoise for? except for recording audio, I guess? renoise does vst and audio units now.

Ive been using trackers since an Amiga in 1995 or so. Renoise is obviously and easily the most polished tracker ever released. That said, these days I just use it to actually compose patterns, then dump their individual tracks to wavs and do final arranging and sequencing in Reaper. Renoise could really use a pattern arranger window like Buzz had.

ManoliIsFat posted:!!! yet another one loving ouch, I thought we were cool crabhat. It's not that I don't like breakcore, I loving love it, and I loving love making it, i just think its time for me to do somethin different. I blame most of it on the fact that I started collaborating with two loving near-gutter punk guys that thought chopping up an amen and doing lines of ketamine off of turntables was the only to to make music. That's probably just me lookin for a scapegoat, but my stuff was getting stale and boring. Sometimes a guy just has wants to play crappy rock songs on his guitar and start cleaning his room and actually worrying about his job and future and stuff, man. Like I said, this is my first foray into (actually almost finishing) a more "traditional" song, so I'm not expecting to crap gold out of nowhere or anything. I did use some preset for the lead synth (and that CHUGCHUG CHUGCHUG CHUGGACHUGGACHUGGA guitar riff), but I built the bass and drums from the ground up, and I'm pretty fuckin happy with them. Other than "everything," what is so lovely about it? The Madden thing is scarily accurate, but I know there's somethin there that doesn't make you want to get through the press-start screen as fast as you can

Sure, the bass and drums might have been built from the ground up, but thats rhythm, and doesn't catch the spotlight or hold any texture. I guess, in today's world, where anyone can crank this kinda of stuff out, it's just pretty boring (not saying I'm any better, just trying to expand on the given feedback).

A lot cleaner then they've been in the past, but the hats don't really roll, they're a little stilted. I've got the EXACT same problem is why I notice it so often I think. Like I really think yo need to add one extra hat in there in every second measure. On the 4-and, the last upbeat. I think you'll it'll flow a little smoother.

wayfinder posted:I just released an ambient/drone album: You're definitely going off the beaten path, but with tracks like "clouds" and "glacial" you seem to have lost your way. Throughout my journey beginning at "basic camp" to the last track "summit" I've to admit I could not distinguish between any of these tracks at all - while that may well be your intention based on your past work, it does get tiring after 11 songs. Overall I don't think ambient/drone is your genre and you should avoid pristine shits like this in the future - I'm sure you'll find not just any, but your own way to do so. Cheers.

I'm not arguing with you, I just think it's interesting how people's workflows can differ. It's really easy to humanize programmed chords in renoise, especially since they streamlined the note delay function.
