(You) are part of the problem whether you're aware of what you're doing or you're just a useful idiot. especially after /pol/ was perceived as being influential in helping trump win the 2016 election "the elites" want the discussion to be dumbed down and toxic so that anyone with a brain will leave and go do useful things for their own hobbies/careers instead of banding together and exerting influence that go against the interest of "the elites". employers and teachers who deal with gen Z and gen alpha are all too familiar with how stupid and ignorant people are getting which is what "the elites" want. /g/ used to be for people who are genuinely interested in working with technology before it got flooded with /v/ kids and vibe coders and whatever this /mu/ shit is supposed to be.

>By default, tracks will be normalised to -14 LUFS (integrated loudness) in the release. You may specify a lower loudness for your song. Light-touch mastering is sometimes applied to improve the consistency between tracks.

I don't know what the fuck any of that means. I sent a couple of songs for a previous album, why were they so quiet? I spent enough stressing over meters and the levels and there was no fucking clipping or anything. The track I have on my machine sounds great, but on that upload it was fucking butchered, no energy at all.

>>108567036
Those I did not touch in the mastering, and normalisation changes the amplitude without altering the waveform itself (except in extreme cases). It's either an issue in the video rendering or you're noticing Youtube's compression.

>>108573617
damn they entirely changed the ui in such a short time
looks much better though. guess it makes sense that youd wait until its feature complete before really focusing on the final UI

I still can't tell if >PLASTICO uses AI voices or not

>>108582258
anons are basically tone deaf, or have relative pitch which makes them a working-class musician at best with no famous star potential, for example charlie puth famously has perfect pitch and he intuitively understands that a compressor makes his vocals sound good even though he doesn't understand the inner workings of the compressor, he knows that it sounds good so he's naturally inclined to use it, whereas anons are full-blown retards and don't appreciate gear, the boomer has almost $1.5M yet won't buy any gear, he bought a flagship oberheim synth but he's totally unimpressed with how it sounds compared to plugins so that killed any further desire to acquire gear, he's cemented in the idea of using plugins and believes that even stock plugins are all you need to make a hit song, he doesn't understand harmonics which comes naturally to someone like charlie puth

>>108582937
It does not. I looped the choir between the O's of plasticO and Odio- careful wave surgery. No human would be able to do the entire line like that without breathing so i understand your concern. There are only two vocalists. Me (all choir + radio host) and insane spanish lady (her name is Fatima). Everything was recorded with a RØDE condenser, through an old M-AUDIO 2 channel USB thingy, besides the instrumentals wichich were partly sliced from previous recordings of my own drumming, or hammered on a keyboard with a pitch bender set to 12 semitones in the case of the bass. All was done in Cubase 4.? (cracked version) running winXP in a VM. The only trick I cant tell you is how to make the spaniosh lady go crazy. But she really hates plastic. And gasoline. And politicians.

I had a small realization that the music genre that I thought I wanted to only focus on was hampering my music making as I never could finish ideas in it. I switched over to another genre that I love, progressive trance, and more specifically the style from the late 2000s/early 2010s like deadmau5 and adam k & soha. What I enjoy is that there is a real simplicity to the a lot of the tracks, however there's a lot of little things that really make it all glue together. You can say that about any genre but for this one I just feel that you can have simple yet extremely effective and impressionable ideas with chords and melodies. It's like a chef who isn't there to impress you with flash, but rather lets the ingredients speak for itself. As I'm still a beginner, I want to just focus on making as much music as possible in this style as it allows me to focus less on drum programming and more on the musical ideas. Anyways, here's one idea of a song I've churned out quickly just as a means of testing out arpeggios. I have so much to test and try, like actually incorporating automation and creating a real bassline. Feedback is appreciated. I'll be posting my work as I go so sorry if I'm annoying.

early LLM-tier behavior

>Some sources cite Brothers in Arms as the first album recorded entirely digitally,[62][63] but the history of commercially released all-digital recordings goes back to the early 1970s, and multitrack digital recorders were used for popular music albums by the late 1970s.[64]
lmao retard
who even cares about this boomer music and in any case it isn't equivalent to using a DAW fully in the box at 44.1kHz/48kHz, a lot of the plugins will oversample internally as a band-aid fix and the end result will be a turd, you will literally never make a hit song you just suck so incredibly hard at everything

Turns out Claude can do a very competent job creating Renoise tools. Quite surprised it could do something so niche well given how LLMs tend to fuck up much more common tasks.

yeah it's pretty hypocritical to be hardcore anti AI when most anons are fully onboard with using plugins that are just digitally mimicking the sound of a piece of hardware. snoyfag even hates plugins that were programmed using AI where it's just the DSP code and not the audio being directly AI generated but even the linux kernel devs accept AI code as long as it meets their usual quality requirements.

look man i dont know music, there was a period in 2018 where i listened to this "album" (wasnt really an album) a lot, and that name came up when tryiing to find it again earlier

>>108598993
Yeah Fatima was a big many chao fan. She was a spanish poet I had a dubious relation to when I was living as a cave dwelling street musician in Granada some 20 years ago. Her lyrics are excellent if you understand spanish. Plastico is all improvisation btw. She came to visit me few years back for old times sake. We fucked around a bit and Plastico was one of our accidental babies. Been lying around my hard drive some time and I thought it would fit the album theme quite nicely. As far as I know she is now married to a Jamaican living the rasta life in the hills somewhere in andalucia

Best DAW/software for making movie theme music? Is Reaper good enough? Anyone have recs for orchestral and classical instruments VSTs?

>>108602419
https://github.com/ilirbajri/ORCHESTOOLS-STRINGS
i use this otstrings with the vsco community edition samples. then i round it out with vital and surge xt for atmosphere.
some vital presets are "jeks presets" and "vital_discord_preset_archive" most are ok, some are gag ones but theres some solid ones in there, theres a trek one I like. reaper is fine that's what i use

>>108602419

you should use absolutely nothing else except roland's SRX orchestra. it has everything you need and you will be forced to learn how to use it inside and out as you find the need to achieve certain sounds

it's the same principle as drum machines and VSTs, some of these artists would surely use AI even for drum loops/samples etc once it sounds good enough, there's probably pretty widespread use of AI for songwriting and some of the top artists have been putting out offensively bland songs that reek of AI

99.99% of producers can't make a goated million dollar hit record. it's like the formula 1 of musicianship, they'll use every trick they can to get ahead. sure, some ITB fags like serban ghenea have been very successful but they're the exception not the norm and they're working with top tier producers and mastering engineers. pretty much any musician who would claim to be as good as michael jackson would be delusional, thriller is literally the best selling album of all time.

this is how it can look irl. your skrillex fantasies from 2010 are basically naive as fuck, most people who make music on a computer without outboard gear limit themselves to working in relatively niche genres and maybe do live gigs like a DJ and make very little money off of their music.

i watched the Diplo "instruction" producer course from pete tongs ripoff academy and diplo just makes shit beats and sends them to a guy with a 48 channel SSL desk and good speakers to make sound good.
people need money to make top music. one might strike it lucky and get a one hit wonder, but any follow up success is down to someone giving them money to make the next material sound good being put through a big studio.

I took a long break from daily music making while getting a new PC set up and getting back into the swing of things was very hard. have probably 100 projects of pure dogshit before something clicked back into place last night, feels good man but scary how quickly i lost all the sauce.
tldr; dont give up and dont take long breaks, keep at it and youll keep progressing :D
