Another work in progress that I'll probably never finish lol. Lately I've been trying to learn how to create electro sounding tracks, this is probably my 3rd or 4th attempt... any tips?

or more importantly, how to protect your work from other "artists" claiming it as their own.

Sound Design / Re: How could I recreate this atmospheric arp?
« on: January 10, 2016, 12:06:25 am »
Anyone know how to make a similar sounding atmospheric arp to these 2 songs:

throughout the beginning of Icarus by Madeon


About 11 secounds in Infinitum by Ninth Parallel

I have tried countless methods but nothing I try sounds quite like these 2 songs.

(Note, i am not trying to rip off Ninth Parallel and Madeon, I just want to know how they did it)

Thanks!

sounds like a simple square wave patch but with added delay and a lot of reverb

What would be recommended for someone looking to dip their toes into the realm of hardware synthesis? Is it worth getting any of the newer, cheaper units like the Arturia MiniBrute or small Moog offerings, or should I save up towards a grand and get something really decent?

Matt, that picture just makes me drool. Do you use any of the Mutable Instruments modules?

i'd been messing around with software for a few years, bought a sub37 a couple months ago. no ragrets. totally worth the cash dude

I feel like The Wall is an excellent example for this concept. But from what I've seen is that people are less interested in creating conceptual albums with a lot of meaning in them and would rather release an ep or whatever with a bunch of songs that don't really have any relation to each other. Just to kind of put something out there that sells or is popular.

some guy who did youtube tutorials on video game design made a "trance" song in FL STUDIO and uploaded it. I heard it and the fact that this guy made a song on his computer at home was fucking mind blowing and I became obsessed. it sparked my interest rather than inspire me really

I really enjoyed some of the stuff off the Maryland soundtrack by Gesaffelstein, particularly A Pledge and Theme for Jessie. brilliant stuff.

maybe the mixer knob is set in the middle instead of at playback? top left of the monitor knob.

utility to bring the volume up >Live's multi-band dynamics to solo and convert a specific freq range to mono (i usually end up with everything under around 200hz in mono) >limiter just in case.

been experimenting with compression on the master channel using TDR's mastering compressor, but the most important thing for me right now is getting everything sounding good on it's own without all kinds of effects plugins and stuff on the master
