I read the rules in the website but since I’ve been scammed so many times I still want to check it with real people. If you find me dumb, please just understand that I actually am dumb, no need to judge.

It is billed monthly, right? I can cancel anytime, right? No surprises, annual price billing, right?

Is there anything anyone knows of that can get similar results to the harmonic stretch parameter in vital? You can get really fun sounds and I want to know if its limited to vital or if theres something similar I can slap on a different synth

I concluded that I can't afford top level guys like LaPorta, Lazar, Gehringer, etc(I have bulk of songs)

I know $100 is a little too tight for top level.

Are there someones similar tho?

I already got list of good names(mostly at $200~$300)of which 'Bob macc' is the only one that falls in my price range.

You can up the price range a bit if you think $100 is absolutely impossible for what I seem to expect

Here's my track. I'm looking for ___

Picked up the notation launchkey mini 25 really excited to start using it. Would appreciate any tip/tricks to help me create house music with it.

Personally I stopped using them some time ago as my hard drive is already too full, I like to try to just write with what I have which is endless VSTs as it is and I remember seeing a lot of controversy about Splice in the past year or two about some of their policies with samples and ownership...

But with the upcoming Ableton update it looks like Splice sampling will be integrated into the Daw and it's got me rethinking it..

What do you think about Splice nowdays?

Or is there any place I can download a vital preset.

In this video (not mine), I love the chord sound that comes in. What is that sound called and how can I get it. Thank you so much in advance!

Hey homies. I was messing around in Ableton the other day to get used to it, and ended up following the rabbit and accidentally arranging a song I really like. I’m very proud! So now I want to clean it up. But it’s gotten to the stage where although I love it at its fundamentals, it feels like I’ve done things in the wrong order.

Like I didn’t know anything about levels before going into it, so I know / assume that that’s all off. I added effects I like to the sounds, so there’s reverb and filters and other effects, and I did a lot with automation.

Where do I go from here to make a more finished version of the song? I imagine I should start with the levels - soloing the kick, getting that level right, then moving to the other elements, getting their levels right in relation to it. Then checking the EQ on everything to get my mids and highs away from the bass. And then just checking off boxes for more mixing by general advice…?

But all the mixing tuts I see basically want you to freeze your entire project first. I don’t think I’m ready to commit to everything I’ve done, because I have barely tweaked anything, and I KNOW that I don’t know what I’m doing yet lol. And I think there are some missing pieces I’m going to discover and add during the editing phase.

When do you start freezing things? Can I keep my options open? And if I’ve automated the gain on several layers, how should I adjust their global gain when I go back to the leveling stage? do I have to basically group it and adjust the gain on the group? Is that a no-go?

I want to keep things organized overall, and maybe the order doesn’t matter so much, but it feels like it does. I come from a design/animation/video background, so apologies if I’m using the wrong terminology.

Basically the song creation happened while I was flying by the seat of my pants, and I want to go into the “clean up” stage with less of the flying by my pants feeling. But every adjustment I think to make feels more like a guess at this point, and if it doesn’t automatically make the song better (or if it takes the sound away from the parts of it I already love), I lose confidence and feel like I’m doing it wrong.

Advice? This doesn’t have to be a masterpiece, but I’d like to make this song into a mix that I’d be proud of sharing to my friends/family as a beginner, and know that what they hear on their devices (sometimes phone speakers lol) it will feel generally the same as what I hear when I listen. Maybe other people are also nonlinear w/ their mixing and that’s alright, but I wouldn’t know one way or the other.

TIA 🙏

Hullo,

I have remastered versions of my album tracks which were released as singles originally throughout 2024-25. I would like to now release the re-mastered versions for the album release... but how do you suggest I do this? (I'm a CDBaby artist). I really don't want the individual tracks (singles) even on my artist page so can I just have CDBaby delete/recall them? Preferably I'd like my songs to 'update' as none of the material has changed and they all have ISRC codes and some are in playlists already.

I currently have Presonus Studio24c + Adam T7V for studio monitors and planning to add another pair of monitors to something with room correction. I am a bit overwhelmed with the options but I am leaning towards Genelec 8330A + 7350A Sub (eventually) + GLM kit. However, I'm thinking maybe I should consider a room correction that I can also use with my Adams (B monitors)?

Options I'm considering:
1. Genelec 8330A + 7350A Sub + GLM Kit. £2715. No room correction for Adams.
2. Genelec 8030C + 7040A Sub + Sonarworks. £2041.
3. Genelec 8030C + 7040A Sub + MiniDSP. £2100ish?.
4. Nuemann KH 120 II + KH 750 DSP Sub + MA1 Kit. £2808. No room correction for Adams.

I'm leaning towards Genelec GLM as the gold standard and convenience, rather then fiddling with Sonarworks. I don't know much about MiniDSP but it seems popular for home theatres? I've also looked at other hardware like Trinnov Nova but that's out of my budget. And Apollo Twin but I don't really record anything, I'm mainly working inside my DAW - is it still worth it?

Am I missing something? Anyone compared these options before?

This recurring thread is where you may share or request services you have to offer to the edmproduction community. Post your programs and plugins, your mastering/teaching/coaching/artwork services, your website/tutorials, your preset/sample packs, your labels- anything but actual music itself.

Rules:

1. No posting music. No posting your soundcloud when you're looking for labels, no ghost production; nothing that constitutes you selling or sharing your own created tracks.
2. Spam will not be tolerated. Repeated postings for the same product/service in the same thread will not be allowed, but you are welcome to post again in newer threads.
3. Mark very clearly whether you're requesting or offering services, and if you're offering them, whether those services are paid or free.

As with the rest of the subreddit, final decisions over what constitutes an acceptable posting here will be at the sole discretion of the mods.

I like how hard hitting this drum pattern is. I believe it was originally sampled from "Inception" by JD Trace (1991) but they clearly worked that over considerably in the mix to get to hit as hard as it did in their release. That beat was found again much later in "I am feat. Plump DJs" - Mani Festo Remix. I think that track is almost a direct lift from Bombscare. It seems to have a somewhat conventional breakbeat, but they enhanced the kick was some sort of really low and effective sub, among some other tricks. I really hits so hard. Any suggestions how to build these drums up from scratch? I used FL, but the software shouldn't matter. Thanks

there is something kind of leading into the open hat vreating way more groove than the basic pattern would, the closest thing i could come up with was reverse open hat but thats not quite it.

Hi guys, sorry if this has been asked before, I'm looking for a specific sound effect that I've hard in dance songs, and dj sets for a while. It kinda sounds like pressurised air I guess ? I'm looking for the name if it exists so I can find other songs with that effect. SAYMYNAME uses it all the time in his music, here's an example

Thanks !

I'm completely drawn into this style of EDM made my ANGUISH https://soundcloud.com/anguishvx/sets/anguish-zyzek-forsaken-2025-album and others like them. I see it mostly coming from Eastern Europe (Russia particularly), might have completely mislabeled the genre. I've looked for tutorials but no one really captures this style. Any help?

Love their basslines and synths

Learning Serum 2 lately and would be cool to have some patches in this sound to learn from

Hey everyone, I’m looking for some advice on how to organize my setup across my MacBook, Dropbox, and a 5TB LaCie external hard drive.

my Mac is running out of space... I have a lot of samples, project files, and other production stuff that I want to keep backed up, but also easily accessible when I’m working in ableton

Right now, everything’s in Dropbox and set to be available offline, but that fills up my internal drive fast. If I mark stuff as online-only, my music programs can’t open them. so I want to start using my external hard drive more, but still have Dropbox back everything up somehow.

The external drive is connected through a USB-C hub (same one I use for power and my monitor), so I unplug it a lot when I’m on the go. I’m worried that might mess with Dropbox if it’s syncing things on that drive.

So I guess I’m just wondering:

What’s the best way to use all of this together?

What should I keep on the external drive vs the MacBook?

How do I keep things backed up to Dropbox without making my Mac run out of space?

How do I avoid Dropbox freaking out if I unplug the drive?

Would love to hear how others manage this kind of setup.

I have bassline on F4, C#5, G#4, C5. C#5 and C5 sound way to high, other two sound okay. If I move it lower it sounds too low. What's the solution?

Hello,

Im looking for producers who offer livestream recordings of their studio sessions.

Even better if theyuse Ableton but its not a must.

Thank you.
