Hey all. This is kind of an odd question, but I had an idea after playing a show the other day. For years now, during my sets I setup a video projector to play videos behind me to add effect. I basically grabbed a bunch of short clips from various sci-fi, horror, or martial arts movies, and randomly ...

Awesome awesome awesome! That Spek tool was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks Depone.
Immediately it became clear that my track was missing something. I got almost nothing above 15khz. I gotta go back and add some instruments in the upper frequencies. I'm also coming in way too loud every 8 ...

Hey all. So I've seen pics around the net where when you send a track for mastering, they run it through something that outputs a frequency graph that looks like a heatmap. So on the X-axis you have time, and on the Y axis you have frequency, and then at each point the color shows amplitude at that ...

Hey all. So I want to start using Ableton to DJ live. I've built some pretty intricate sets in Ableton and I want to start playing them out. What I'd like to find is a VST that I can throw on the master channel to perform some live effects. So if I want to chop things up a bit, or if the crowd calls ...

Wow thanks so much for the kudos guys. I've been banging my head against a wall for years now to produce something I like, and I have to say this is the first one I'm honestly happy with. The samples are from Billie Holiday's Strange Fruit. It's a terrible but really amazing song. http://www.youtube ...

Hey @noisestorm it says the video is private. Can you either make it public or share the private link? Thanks!

@deafblindmusic
I really dig this track Pitched Black. It's got an old school Prodigy / Crystal Method vibe to it. The first break is too mellow though. Your second break should be your first break, and make the second break even bigger.

There's way too much going on at the high end of the ...

Hey all. Here's a liquid DNB track I'm working on. What do you guys think? I'm pretty new to production, so I'm still figuring it all out. Specifically, how can I improve my bassline? It sounds a little flat to me. Also, general mixing/mastering tips? Anything you would add/remove/change? Thanks ...

Hey all. I'm working on a liquid DNB track. I've got a good beat and bassline going, and I'm looking for a few elements:

A good vocal track. I'm thinking something like Lenzman's Afraid of Jazz.. More than just a one phrase sample. Something acapella that I can cut up and use throughout the track ...

Hey y'all. So I'm working on a liquid DNB track and I have the basis for a tight drum loop, but I need some good quality filler for the liquid roller. Does anyone have any good percussion samples or loops that would go well? So some bongos, wood blocks, shakers, that type of thing? A little more ...

Good stuff! How bout a tutorial AND the patch??

Hey all. So I've been looking for some good vocals for my tracks. Any idea where I can get some free acapellas or vocal samples?
More specifically, I'd love to find some Tool/Perfect Circle/Puscifer acapellas. I've got a track that would go perfect with Maynard's voice.

Sorry I guess when I said filters I should have said effects. I don't mean just low/band/high pass filters. I mean effects that give the sound coming out of massive a more unique or interesting sound. Like I said, right now I can get some nifty sounds from Guitar Rig or Amplitube. I've tried ...

Wow... Thank you guys so much. This feedback is incredible.. This definitely gives me some much needed motivation, as well as some structure to build on. It sounds like I really need to dig deeper into the finer points of just a few tools, rather than playing with a dozen tools at a surface level ...

Hey all. So I've been working on producing tracks for a few years now, and I'm getting very frustrated with the results. I've collected thousands of samples, dozens of patches and filters. My favorite tools are Ableton for the DAW, Massive (and sometimes Absynth) for the synth, Ableton's Impulse for ...
