(sorry for my typos, very shitty keyboard writer).

(the video https://www.facebook.com/LeCastleVania/videos/vl.928941320500225/10153776455744381/?type=1 )

for years iv been trying to understand what methods.
check other forums but people barly explain the technique but take educated guess's.
i want to know if anyone knows how to do the diamond shape brick limiting mix/master
style which many artists when you drag there songs into izotope or other stereo imager
that have the liss diamond graph.
basically its completely perfect no bleeding.
everyone so far has told me its panned, widen to be perceived loud.
yes i get it.

i'v tried replicating it with le castle vania video he released a few years ago but of course no one shows a tutorial on how it gets done.

sounds a lot like virtual riot stuff, he's got youtube tutorials, thats the closest i know of to matches your sound



thanks man iv seen virtual riot stuff. even xilent uses his stems from a remix he did for him called aliens which there both good artists.
plus xilent has worked with seven lions so for him to work for virtual riot..makes him a good start! thanks buddy

first of...a shout out to mr . mat zo for self assemble album. its amazing..personally i had a steam game of csgo aka counter strike and play the entire thing thru. felt very cinematic even thou i'm not sure if you meant to do that yet its great anyways.

alright of to the real question & maybe i'll do a follow up question on the album later.
But for now...seriously my amazing producing friends who out there!
have you heard this new song ? i'm wondering how seven lions does his current processing now at 2016.

if anyone has any valid advice by showing how he makes these pad,bass, power chord shots!
that would be amazing even if it involves sidechaining tips i'll listen!

Mixing/Mastering / dynamic izotope
« on: February 17, 2016, 11:50:40 pm »
please spare me the it depends on your sound type or there no rules on how you produce.
iv seen many people talk about these vsts and how its amazing but they never even explain why or what there methods on mastering dynamics each band and why.
for example a mastering and mix guide.
are the lows suppose to be abit higher than the mids or highs.
im not sure how to glue & master the dynamics at all and i want some straight answers besides learning what a limiter does or gate or compressor.
i need to know whats the purpose and how can i use the dynamic to form my track alot better please!
some links with real tutorials on how to use it to gain certain structure and sound besides all talk will be amazing.
just feed up with izotope paying people for opinion vids on why its so fucking amazing yet they never explain or break down the process.

Well they're on El Capitan now, so as far as I know you can't even get Mavericks anymore.

I'm on El Capitan and it's fine, though I don't know if Pioneer has updated the firmware on their products to be compatible yet (I use Traktor and the Z2/D2s so I don't keep up with their stuff).

yes but besides traktor. do you produce on any d.a.w.s like bitwig or abelton or logic.
have you notice any issues bounce or rendering samples.
does the mouse skip...is there any latency issues? that type of stuff.
does or vsts or au malfunctions

i currently use live 9.5 so my real question is should i upgrade from mountain lion.
did they fix any of the bugs from the first release of mavericks?
please let me know a.s.a.p

I found that creating your own song on top of an acapella always helps because you're forced to follow the flow of the vocals. Once you get good at doing that, you can start to make your own arrangements.

I've never thought of doing something like that, great idea!

yeah your totally right. sometimes thats how i make new melodies trying to recreate the same by matching the tone of there voice with keys or sometimes i use dune with unison cause poly notes makes it easier to slap on midi to other instruments without sounding weird.

Well, here's the bad news: There's no set way. Sometimes people start with a basic chord progression, sometimes they start with a bassline, sometimes they think of a melody, and sometimes they start building up a drum loop and work on top of that! It's all about what inspires them at the moment.

Here's the good news: Every single song you've ever loved is an open book waiting for you to read. Referencing tracks isn't just listening to them and dragging them into their D.A.W.s, it's about a whole new type of analytical listening. You're no longer a fan, you're a student.  I've attached a little PDF that has a good list of questions to take with you every time you listen to a track from now on. Start answering the questions as you listen to the song over and over. Do you notice any similarities between the tracks? Are there any trends that seem to emerge? Are certain sounds louder than others? What sounds did they think was the MOST important to hear (the sounds that feel like they're on top of everything else)?

The reason why the top-level producers often hesitate to talk about this kind of stuff is because no one wants to hear "It's a lot of work." But don't worry, because there's plenty of resources online to jump start you.

I'd watch this Q&A session with NGHTMRE and this SeamlessR playlist and see if it helps you any. The MOST important thing to remember is that when you're first starting out it is quantity, not necessarily quality, that you're looking for. The only way to truly know what sounds good is to make a lot of stuff that sounds bad, after all. Every time you force yourself to make a song, you've learned something new so that the next time, that part isn't so hard.

Don't give up!

EDIT: Attaching a picture of the PDF so people can see it without having to download

thanks i wont give up!

thank you all so much for your advice i will definetely look into it including this website full of knowledgeable producers =)

i understand that people reference tracks by listening/draging songs into there d.a.w.s
try to copy it as much as possible.
i know some producers make the melody first than do the rest after.
but my problem is when i create a chord i like.
i have no fucking idea how to start it when its mostly a drop chord.
whats worse i dont know how to start a intro with a match lead or bass to connect with the main chord.
im so tired of people saying you can do whatever you want.
obviously most producers have there own arrangement game plans knowing
if they start with a stab or bass wub with a counter lead or arp.
i need a specific guide book on how to arrange tracks step by steps and why for a particular genre/style.
i know im making it sound complicated but its very hard to make a chord or melody you like and you have no idea to start off with it or use it for a drop.
and especially how can i grab the listeners attention for each 30 seconds before they lose interest in dull transitions.
im so glad mat-zo started this cause he and a few other producers like
(porter,dirtysouth,arty,deniz koyu, madeon,deadmau5,pendelum,steve duda,john dalbach, fedde le grand, audien , laidback luke, axwell )
never really explain how the manage to create methods for each track knowing how it starts to finish.
even if its one riff or loop , i wish there were steps on finding ways to compliment or give it purpose in tracks.
i apologize if i made it sound complicating but i need a step by step guide book explaining why i should start specific instruments or melodies first to last before i mix and master.
it would make it easier for me to complete tracks.
