WIPs / Help with a track idea
« on: February 27, 2017, 02:10:25 am »
Looking to get some feedback on an idea I started. Comments on anything from sound design to mixing, or even on the idea itself would be appreciated. Also tend to get stuck and have never finished a track because I tend to doubt my ideas. Any ways anyone works around this? Thanks:) PS. Kinda ignore the first part before the build up. not supposed to be there.

WIPs / Cinematic Intro Thing
« on: January 08, 2017, 08:19:44 am »
Just looking for some feedback on this weird intro thing i started. Any suggestions at all would be appreciated in regards mixing to sound design, etc. Didn't bother mastering this since i probably wont use it and it still needs some work. Check it out here:

« on: May 17, 2016, 05:29:21 pm »
I'm currently using a pair of sennheiser hd280s for mixjng and am looking to upgrade to some lower budget monitors. I've done research on both monitors and feel as though some other opinions would be good in making a decision. Thanks in advance!

Mixing/Mastering / Opinions on Flux Stereo Tool v3
« on: April 17, 2016, 01:52:19 am »
Just looking for any thoughts on Flux Stereo Tool v3. are stereotool plugins kinda like cheating at mixing? Should I be addressing the real problem instead of fixing it with this?

WIPs / Collaboration Anyone?
« on: March 13, 2016, 11:34:58 pm »
Working alone seems to get really boring compared to working on music with other people, makes me really miss being in a band. Anyways, if anyone is interested in making some tracks for fun and bouncing ideas off one another id be really interested. Also could be good for exchanging some production tips. Im also currently using ableton. An intro i started working on for a remix i wanted to do:

Mixing/Mastering / Mixing in Mono vs. Stereo?
« on: March 07, 2016, 11:31:41 pm »
I was wondering if anyone could possibly shed some light on this issue. The reason im asking is because my mixes sound 100x worse than the stereo version when I check them in mono. If someone could give these two intros a quick listen id love to hear some advice on what you think would be a good next step for mixing these. They're both the same intro, one is just in mono. I haven't actually completed a song before, and should probably start using some stereo enhancers since I don't actually do that. I've also heard that the bass in the stereo track is too wide, even though i have a dedicated sub track that is already in mono. I'm guessing even frequencies above 100Hz should be mono too?

Composition/Arrangement/Theory / Best Way to learn music theory online?
« on: February 11, 2016, 02:55:48 am »
If anyone has any suggestions for the best way to learn music theory online it would be greatly appreciated. It's kinda tough when you don't know where to start and don't understand how all the smaller parts of theory fit into the larger picture (ex. modes)

Thanks!

Mixing/Mastering / Feedback on new waves NX- virtual room plugin
« on: February 04, 2016, 12:56:38 am »
I was looking at the new waves NX-virtual room program and was wondering if anyone could tell me if it's any good. I'll try the demo, but I'm also interested in the opinion of someone with more experience than me. Thanks for any help!

Ps. I'm using sennheiser HD280 headphones. Wondering if those headphones + the plugin would be a good combo for mixing and mastering since monitors are kinda out of the buget.

Sound Design / How to go about making good bass synths
« on: January 08, 2016, 06:56:28 am »
I'm wondering what other people usually use as general guidelines when making mid-bass patches. What kind of layering do you do with oscillators, and what types of waveforms do you use?

Sound Design / Martin Garrix esque saw
« on: January 06, 2016, 06:35:22 pm »
I know this is some generic ass shit but i can never manage to get my saws to sound quite as good as this. I understand a lot of the basics for building supersaws, including layering. Skip to about 1:32 for the sound i'm thinking of. If anyone can offer some insight into how to get a saw sounding this good id appreciate it.
