The productions thread - Part III!

Out on Beatport - A groovy chillout/breaks EP I made with Infected's guitarist.



Fatali Music is proud to present a slightly different flavor of groovy electronic music... 'Sunset Honey' and 'Dream Express' are the result of a downtempo experimental project involving Randy Seidman & the American guitarist for Infected Mushroom, Tommy Cunningham. These two songs represent a world of light and emotion while incorporating hints of disco, hip hop, and smooth rock... close your eyes and imagine sunset on your favorite beach! Hope you enjoy.

Does anyone have any link for some good reading material regarding compression and post production?

i think this might be what your after

it was recommended to me as the post production literature to read

its Stavrou's Mixing with your Mind

also this is my new song

its a bit slow really and post-finishing it im getting a bit depressed about it, but i think its better on average than my other songs
 
I had Ableton x64 downloaded and it wouldnt recognize any of my 32bit plugins so I removed that and downloaded the 32bit version of it. It took 15gb or so of downloaded Packs with it when I deleted it, and now apparently half my plugins are corrupt because of this piece of shit.
Should have stuck with FL but whats the fucking point, haven't even got any ideas.
Might as well go break into someones house and take a shit in their living room while blasting death grips out of my phone, because that will be more productive than anything ive ever tried to produce so far

i think thats just a part of learning new electronic music software at first, it fucks with you for ages and then you come to a point where you can start manipulating it with less stress etc

i think it took me a year and a half with ableton before i could do more than a basic 808 drum beat, persevere!

also when i have no ideas, i find if you just give it a break when you come back to music you will be a better musician and can let the natural juices flow

Let me know what yall think(!)

edit--genre wise--> one track is psy idm/dnb, one is psy dubstep, one is psytrance, some are uplifting trance, one is electro house, some are "chillout" or something
 
can i ask anyone here who understands music production to answer a quick question?

so i can make a song and it will sound passably or at least decently mixed with good earphones or headphones

and then i play it on a macbook with the laptop speakers or even an oldish imac with better speakers and it will sound like complete crap, and the bass frequencies almost get completely lost

however any known artists i could play (unless its DnB or an electronic genre which practically requires expensive studio speakers to truly enjoy) on my laptop and it will pretty much just sound like a quieter and have less depth than using headphones

do i need to learn how to master correctly or can i just say fuck you to shitty speakers?

Hey, I listened to your track, and I would say you need to do both. I found your track interesting and enjoyable, but some of the levels seemed a bit iffy, and some elements a little dry - try adding some Release on those synths, with maybe a little reverb or delay. Some panning automation on certain elements also adds depth. But you cannot understate the value of decent speakers when it comes to mixing, it's the only way.

I have a couple of tracks on my soundcloud, although mixed on shitty speakers, they still need a little work.

Bear in mind I like my music hard, fast, and melodic...
