[media]http://soundcloud.com/dicktrace/not-you-r[/media] I made yet another remix, the original can be heard [url=http://www.myspace.com/wefellfromthesky]here[/url]. What do you guys think? Of both the one I made earlier (Queen's light) and this one. =) Edit:Some changes in volume
Ha, one of my drum students that has ADHD, has learnt how to play rock beats after only two lessons. And the other teachers there said he didn't have rhythm! Anyways, I'm composing a simple jazz-waltz with brushes, doublebass, vibraphone and piano. I bet MrJazzy will like it :v:
[U][B]"Trolololo slowed down %800"[/B][/U] [video=youtube;-8AZyAtP2eo]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8AZyAtP2eo[/video] No description neccessary... Wh-what?!? It's still music That sounds pretty much like Halo soundtrack :D
anyone who uses fl studio know a way to make kicks and subs more distinct without having to turn the other down? whenever i'm adding a sub or bass it just drowns out the kick
[QUOTE=killa101;32613251]anyone who uses fl studio know a way to make kicks and subs more distinct without having to turn the other down? whenever i'm adding a sub or bass it just drowns out the kick[/QUOTE]compression for the kicks, a little bit of distortion for sub bass
[QUOTE=killa101;32613251]anyone who uses fl studio know a way to make kicks and subs more distinct without having to turn the other down? whenever i'm adding a sub or bass it just drowns out the kick[/QUOTE] Side chain the bass to the kick with a really fast decay, it's not noticeable on the bass but really brings the kick out.
Also think about where things are in the audio frequency spectrum, try create space for each instrument with careful tone selection and skilful EQ wizardry.
Alternatively rape the sound goodizer. ..I kid, I kid.
[QUOTE=Tezzanator92;32614010]Also think about where things are in the audio frequency spectrum, try create space for each instrument with careful tone selection and skilful EQ wizardry.[/QUOTE] Yes, this is good advice Here's something I've found to be really helpful [url]http://www.independentrecording.net/irn/resources/freqchart/main_display.htm[/url]
I really need to get started on learning music theory. It sucks not being able to recognize keys/chords; every wrong key I press when making a melody wipes my thought of it.
The most basic chord is pressing two white keys apart from eachother so there are 3 white notes between them
just play triads in C major lol
And if what you're playing sounds sad call it A Minor
play only black keys for pentatonic
I'll look more into scales now because I just put down chords that sound good together without knowing what they actually are :v:
Also, wikipedia
Wikipedia what
[QUOTE=HazeFyer23;32620499]I'll look more into scales now because I just put down chords that sound good together without knowing what they actually are :v:[/QUOTE] So you're doing what I am doing currently and have been doing for a long time now.
Right, well, no one ever replies to my threads anymore, so I thought I'd show off my new song in here instead in hope of some feedback. [media]http://soundcloud.com/thisisvirosa/resonation-away-from-here-from[/media] It's for a remix competition, and the original is an energetic dubstep track, so I thought I'd slow the pace.

I hope you mean that in a good way and not in a "Laughably stupid posts worded in a laughably stupid way"... way :v:
I mean it in a very good way
From a mixing book I have. [IMG]http://i54.tinypic.com/6s9my0.png[/IMG] It is best to think in terms of the simplified frequency in the second box down. There is of course going to be cross over, and your goal shouldn't at all be to eliminate frequency cross over, but rather to give certain instruments space where they need it. It's like you have 0-20k, how are you going to divide it up between the different instruments? You want to give everything it's own unique frequency, and of course have that frequency be one that it is still recognizable at. When EQing strings for example, if you have a lot of other stuff going on you might just keep some of the top of it. It allows it to add without taking anything away. It's good to realize that some instruments have to take up the same space, like guitars and vocals, and bass guitars and kick drums, and you just have to determine what is more important. With guitars and vocals, it is very common for the vocals to compress the guitars through side chaining. This isn't EQ, but sometimes EQ isn't always the best solution, especially for already recorded guitars.
