First off, I'm biased, I love your music as always man!

I think you should extend the arp pattern to 3 more bars and change the notation a bit, that will definitely give it more variation. otherwise I think the sidechain needs balancing as there is a bit of pumping going on, besides that I think you're solid to keep going and make it boss.

Sound Design / Hardstyle Kick Thread
« on: January 10, 2016, 07:34:46 am »
So last night I was experimenting with Hardstyle type Kicks for the first time, after watching a bunch of masterclasses that Snow linked in the "Masterclass/ Course thread" http://theproducersforum.com/index.php?topic=230.msg2896#msg2896 (Give Snow some honors will ya?)

So here's what I got:


It's a layer of two sounds, an oscillator with a sawtooth and a dry kick

One is a sawtooth, I added high cut in the channel settings to Decay quickly.
with multiband distortion (FabFilter Saturn),
An EQ with tons of dips to erase fundamental tones and shaping the distortion (Fruity Parametric EQ 2),
Tube amp (Camel Crusher),
Some Reverb for widening (ValhallaPlate),
And a quick sidechain to a dry kick (Fruity Limiter)

I had so much fun creating this sound from scratch, let me know how to improve and if there's any tips and tricks to learn about creating it!

And uhhh, Hardstyle Kick Thread, let's do it!

are their rest of the plugins still available somewhere?

Unfortunately not. :/ After merging it all went away. Which sucks, because my copy of camel crusher is corrupted :(

The link that is floating online still works! I used it to reinstall the plugin to fix an error http://www.audiopluginsforfree.com/camelcrusher/

Ahhh I see! I'm glad you use FL as I can visualise more clearly how I'd do it myself. Do you have the reverb sat on a mixer channel with the other channels going through it or do you use one of the send channels on the right side of the mixer and use it in a different way? I've never used those before myself so I'm not confident on how they work, could be missing a trick.

The first actually, if you use the hardcoded send channels in FL, you can't re-route that channel to something else, for example, I route the Reverb channel to the Sidechain channel, this can't be done using the send channels as they can be only routed to the master.

If you got FL 12, you can dock the bus channels you made to sit with the send channels, so they can always be in view.

Mixing/Mastering / Re: Mixing without monitors
« on: January 08, 2016, 05:58:26 pm »
Honestly you can mix on just about everything, and everyone else said here that it is most recommended to mix with monitors, which is true.

Reference mixing can help like you mentioned.

you shouldn't really rush a track (unless your ghost producing), it's done when it's done.

This, and you already mentioned the use of templates and pre-made presets, that in out of itself is already the best way to speed things up

Never thought of having a dedicated reverb send. Possible idiot question incoming: Can you route multiple channels through it and tweak the reverb independently on each one or do they all run through with the same settings?

Also which DAW are you using? Just out of curiosity :)

You can route as many channels as you want, you can tweak how much amplitude levels of reverb each channel will get but not the settings individually, for that you need to add a reverb effect on that particular channel, otherwise everything can route directly to it. :D

And I use FL Studio!

How do you even use a multi band compressor properly? I've fiddled with Ableton's dedicated one and I'm still not 100% sure on what scenario you'd use it in. Obviously its useful for the master bus, but in what way?

Sup Rob <3

I'd use it if I need to do extreme EQ changes to a track, so the multiband compressor keeps it in check so that problematic frequency won't bite me up the ass later, saves time from automating an EQ. on the master track it's just a very basic mastering preset that keeps everything in check and I then back and forth make sure that it doesn't change too much the original sound I intended, and that's it really. I'd really recommend GlissEQ btw, this makes the idea of multiband compression to be much simpler to grasp for a start. later I'd recommend Maximus, ProMB and C4 to check out.

Start out with Voxango and get stuff like SPAN from there, and other really cool surgical tools for free http://www.voxengo.com/

Yeah Xfer records do a really good free bunch. Same as Voxengo.
TAL do some excellent freebies too!  - https://tal-software.com/

I agree, Definitely TAL! holy crap their synths are amazing

AND! The Fish Fillets pack! it has I think, the best DeEsser in existence called SPITFISH! (Though sometimes the latency on that plugin can act up, still an amazing plugin to have) - http://www.digitalfishphones.com/main.php?item=2&subItem=5

Get a full version of Kontakt, and get Sensual Sax from Embertone, 20 bucks for a really good saxophone library - http://www.embertone.com/instruments/sensualsax.php

Or get Session Horns from Kontakt for 99 bucks, this one works with the free player version of Kontakt https://www.native-instruments.com/en/products/komplete/orchestral-cinematic/session-horns/

I start blank, I feel like having a set template kind of limits my creativity. Also, since I'm still pretty new to this, there are still a lot of different ways I can approach things. My goal is not to pump out tracks every day/week, so having a template doesn't really do much for me.
TL;DR Version:

1. Eliminate boring setup stuff
2. Crack on with actually creating music
3. ? ? ? ?
4. PROFIT

As I said, I'm still a noob too and I'm not a fantastic producer (in fact, I feel as if I don't know shit) so take what I say with a barrel of salt but I've found this to be helpful to me, hope it helps you too :D

HIGHLY agreeing with that part, just eliminate the middle man and focus on actually working,

My setup is having a dedicated Reverb send channel and a sidechain channel to route everything I want to sidechain. the master channel just has a multiband compressor, an EQ for cutting the Side at around 150Hz and OZone for Dithering and Intersample Detection. everything else is just adding up to it.
