  This is what you're hearing.

Multiband compression + brickwall limiting + small bit of forced clipping for effect. Sans the *forced* clipping, it's an example of current production trends in popular music. If turned up to normal listening volume, mental fatigue will start to occur as the signal has become closer to noise than music to our ears.

Actually, this discussion (and most/all discussions on this board) can be clarified in pretty plain english with http://books.google.com/books?id=A0u4oWVGUX0C&pg=PT1

Would anyone be interested in recording some announcer clips for a vidya game? I'd like to record myself but my microphone is broken.

I just need simple things like "capture the flag." Even if you don't have the absolute best voice but are able to tweak it into something similar to the UT announcer, that would be just as great.

  So, since /eq/ apparently doesn't has this on sticky (odd), I'm going to make the question 95.5% of people who likes music ask when they want to start composing music, yet they don't know crap about music (reading, writing, etc)

Is it pausible? And if it is, what programs and/or tutorials should I download/see/use?

(NOTE: As a personal note, I do know from interviews that while John Carpenter composed almost all of the music for some his movies (escape from N.Y and Halloween, for example), in reality he doesn't know how to either write nor read music, so I already know its sortta pausible).

Song unrelated... I just love industrial music, :P

Of course it's possible. I can read and write music, but still find it easier to throw stuff down onto a page or into reason and rearrange it until it sounds good.

Not that it actually takes much time or effort to learn to read music.
>> No. 3960

and by throw it down on a page, I mean write it in without listening, then nudge things around until they sound reasonably comfortable listening.

Yes, you can compose some really good music without ever writing down notes or being able to sight read notes.

What you do need is a basic understanding of chords, harmony, and music theory. You also are going to just need a natural talent.

For example, I can read and write music but I'm not terrible good at it. When I'm writing, I know that when I'm adding some harmony to a lead vocal, I know that I'm singing a major third above the melody and which notes to go to in order keep things consistent within the key. I never write any of this shit down.

your tutorial should be a music theory class offered at your high school or college.

Sawer is decent, but there are other plugins that can get closer to that super saw sound, like, well, AToD Supersaw and Syncaine TM-200X. Haven't had a problem with 'em yet...

Check this track I posted. That was made using FL Studio 9. I used a few stock effects and a few of my nicest plugs, Korg MS-20, AudioRealism Bassline, and Plogue Chipsounds. Also used Fruity Kick for the kick drum, it's the only one that sounds good to me.

Another little trick I discovered was throwing an LFO on the main tempo to get a swing effect, alternating between 86 and 160 bpm. Delay effects don't work with that, but if you do it right, it sounds great.

Hey /eq/

I'm going to be in charge of doing a live recording for a pretty well known artist. The clients want me to multitrack it. Here's my current thought on the setup, with what I have (the house mixer is a Yamaha M7CL).

Mix tracks into the Matrix on the M7CL
Output via XLR on mixer
Input via TRS into MoTU 24 I/O
Record using Logic 7 on my desktop Mac

Now, I know this setup will work, but the problems would be need a lot of XLR/TRS conversion cables and the space the setup would take up. I can't use the MoTU with a laptop cause it's controlled with a PCI card, unfortunately. Also I'd be a little concerned about vibrations fucking with the hard drive.

Is there any much simpler setup I should consider? I'm not a huge fan of "all-in-one-box" setups. Actually, ideally I'd love to find something that acted like a big, 24 track digital tape recorder, output the wav files and mix it later. If you've got the perfect piece of gear in mind, I'd love to hear about it.

perfect! I actually hadn't reseached all the cards that were available for the mixer yet. That's a perfect solution, as we actually have a MoTU 828mk3 available to us, which has 16 ADAT lightpipe I/O's on it. Problem solved.

I've actually never bothered with ADAT stuff before, but I'm sure it won't flummox me too bad if I get in there and play with it beforehand. Thanks again, dude. I let you know if it happens at all, and how it goes!

basically, due to time and money constraints, its got reduced to just a stereo feed. But when we have the money, we'll definitely be able to multitrack record the shows our club does. Woo!

I need some help. I've been creating music on the 'puter for a while but I have a friend who plays harpsichord and we wanna try doing something live.

I need a good DAW which I can easily use in a live situation on a laptop. I'm not too fond of the idea of buying physical synthesizers.

I need an inexpensive midi keyboard with a controller to turn nobs on my VSTs and such. I know very little about hardware so this is my main problem.

And then some kind of interface from the laptop to an amp. Do I need to consider sound cards? It seems the modern integrated cards do the job but I dunno.

I really just need the bare items to play music with a laptop. Low cost is the key. Thanks in advance...

As far as cheap and good MIDI interfaces go, M-Audio is king. They have a plethora of options available, ranging from no frills to billions of assignable knobs. There's too many to list here, but they're all of more than decent quality.

I hear logic 9 has a pretty useful mode called "center stage" for live application, but I've not tested it and it probably isn't in your price point.

You may want to invest in two DI boxes, which is what a competent sound man would plug your L and R output into before plugging it into the sound system.
>> No. 3950
>>3949
It's called MainStage and it's been a part of Logic Studio since it was introduced with Logic Pro 8.
Despite owning it, I too have not used it - probably worth researching.
Also: if you want both audio and MIDI and are on a budget I wholeheartedly recommend the Edirol UA-25EX, and heartily despise any and all M-Audio interfaces.
>> No. 3952
>>3950
yeah, I meant 8. I never upgraded from 7 due to lack of funds.

My m-audio has been fantastic, but then again I do little more than plug it up and play in the studio. I've heard real weighted keys break all the time and semi weighted is the way to go.
