Woah! These are so good! Love Tone's entry - proper 80s nostalgia kicking in

Microphone Recording

Member Content Requests

Hi all

So, recording maybe isn't something at the top of the list of priorities for a lot of electronic producers - it's very easy to stay completely in the box and get great results.

However, I've been experimenting a lot more with recording bits of my voice, percussion, guitars etc to add organic layers to my tunes.

And my question is... what are some good recording tips?

I know for example, you shouldn't be too close to the mic as it'll be too bassy, but also not too far as you'll start hearing the room reverb. And that when you're recording your voice you should do it at an angle.

I know these as small tidbits of info but would be nice to have a pro explain them properly, and any other good info - recommended microphones etc.

Thanks!

New dancey rave track

Well, I'm no expert as you know so I'll refrain from the professional feedback, but it sounds ... delicious.

Really, I want to drink that song. 

[/quote]Hey Petter - thanks so much - that's very kind. Big fan of the stuff you've posted in here recently. Keep it up!

Any Output fans here? What about that new 'AI Pack Generator'? What about 'Arcade'?

DAW or Software Questions

Can't say I've tried the new pack generator, but Output's stuff is generally insanely good. I use Output Thermal on basically every track I've ever made, it makes your drum groups sound insane and professional at the click of a button - it's my most recommended plugin. So definitely try that if you haven't already!

Hi all

Just wondering if anyone could give me feedback on this track I did recently.

House practice track

Let us hear you!

Hi Petter

Big fan of this - really well mixed actually. The drums are super well balanced and punchy - that's usually where most people slip up.

I'd say you've ticked all three of the critera you set yourself. The bass is very warm, and subby, but sits really nicely in the mix.

I wiuldn't say there's much wrong with this song at all - and a nice tune to top it off!

Self Releasing Music

General Producer Chat

Hi guys

What a goldmine of information! Thank you - there's a lot to go through and it all sounds super helpful

Seems like I should avoid setting up a label if it's just my music I want to release, and go for Distrokid...

That bonus tutorial is super useful. Really made me realise that I hadn't really ever known what I was doing before when mixing vocals. Mid side has always baffled me but I finally understand it - and had no idea how useful it was lol. Classic! Thanks again

New track

Let us hear you!

Hey Neon Critter! I remember listening to some of your tracks a while back and liking them - glad to see you're still making tunes - and getting better from the sound of it. This is super groovy and rhythmic - I'm always a fan of tunes that aren't standard 'four-to-the-floor' and this reminds me of some tunes from the label Hessle Audio - very techno and dub influenced, but with an idiosyncratic tone. Big fan!
