Sure. My understanding is that the bass note can be whatever and doesn't need to relate to a clean inversion like >>118261769 implies.
As you said, first letter is the chord and the second letter is the bass note below that chord.

Say hello to the most complete song I've ever made.

I have never really tried to make an EP as I'm an amateur but I was looking through my old stuff and saw I made a more or less complete song. It's basically will smith rap with half the lyrics about Holes the novel/film and the rest being about losing in life. Made the song as well. But I don't think it's anything to be proud of. But if I handed this over to a skilled producer and a skilled rapper.. good song maybe? Songs coming next post

breaking down and taking vows
what does it mean to you?
do you withhold the truth?

Is there anything I need to know about this world
That im living in
Im a spitting image of that villain from that hole digging film with clyde livingston
I stole his shoes to my rent

Im gunna get bitten by a yellow spotted spotted lizard
How obscene, which way it doesnt matter, the villain is the hero and the hero is a martyr

A choccy milkshake at the table alone
The night sky is bright and the smell of cologne
from last weekend makes me feel stick to my stomach
the daytime wanders aimlessly broken compass, On the

Latrine thinking of random schemes
how do I tackle malaise thats becoming of me
I'll walk down to the store and buy me a choccy milkshake
and everything slows down, I feel like I can take all

But theres something telling me, theres something tell me
that I can make it cant make it work like I used to
A golden goose spawned, and hes running around, its so obtuse
do I wait it for it a shit a gold egg, or do I chase it 'til I die?
Do I chase it 'til I die?

Bros, how do you recommend I start learning to play by ear (piano and midi keyboard), should I start with just learning single line melodies or can I start with chords too? I ask because chords are pretty much impossible for me to figure so do I need to get good at learning melodies first or should I keep going?

>>118266201
sound great anon. stop worrying and make the songs.

if you wanted to learn to transcribe a language that you didn't know, would you start by learning the sounds of the individual characters or start with words?

Don't let her go without at least telling her how you feel, anon. I mean, if you're not to that point yet.

>>118268335
bro please just answer, Idk chinese. So I'd be better off learning chords aswell?

>>118268371
Yes, you need to know how to play chords to play the piano properly. What the fuck kind of question is this?

>>118266552
right, it doesn't need to imply a clean inversion...but clean inversions are written down like that too and it's good to know i think

>>118266552
usually yes. that's what inversion mean, basically you just rearrange the notes of a chord...but you can do whatever...there are no strict rules...you can play the C4. you can omit it and play rootless inversions and imply the chord. or add a 9 or sus4 or whatever...

Decided to open FL again after a 2 month break. Was going through my projects and was feeling pretty unmotivated until I found this. Completely forgot I even started it and forgot about it after one day. https://voca.ro/1kNedcIYAwsI

Few things to note:
- Ignore the shitty build up, that was just there for context, I'll fix that later
- The drop isn't complete, that's why it transitions so abruptly, I plan to add one or two more sections to it and make the transitions smoother
- Those two synths that come in occasionally on the left and right channels I plan to make different each time, this was all I had time for last night

Now,
>Is that synth layered with the snare annoying? I like the sound of it because the intervals it plays adds a lot of emotion and it harmonizes nicely with the rest of the track, but I feel like it can get quite grating after a while, even drenched in reverb.
>How is the kick and bass? I haven't really made much music with this style of kick + 808 before, so I'm not too sure.

>>118266908
Is this is a shitpost? I can't tell.
>>118266495
There seems to be a lot of dissonance at times. It's not inherently a bad thing, but I think you might need to fix that. I assume it's not mixed yet?
>>118265855
Awesome track. Your main pluck synth needs more mids. You could layer it with something that fills in those gaps. The mix, particularly in the high range, also sounds a bit mushed in the drop. I think the lead synth is fighting with the pluck.

What key is the intro in?

Continuing DI guitar discussion from last thread. I tried yesterday using totally direct tones to AmpliTube vst without any pedals in-between and blending the AmpliTube amp simulation to some power amp IRs. Some tone tests on top of some random YouTube tracks:

Here was a surf-like vintage tone in the vein of Shadows using pic related. Some vibrato pedal added to the amp before it hit the AmpliTube's cab IR.
https://vocaroo.com/1du4NKHjd9Gl

Then I tried some 80s type of distortion tones using plexi Marshall tyle amp and chorus pedal inside AmpliTube:
https://vocaroo.com/1d5pAXy4wXTQ

All in all, with mixing and tweaking I think you can get very authentic and usable tones, at least with AmpliTube the less-distorted tones are more convincing in my opinion. The power Amp IRs I used are https://overdriven.fr/overdriven/index.php/download/power-amp-irs/ and I add "Delay" to it inside NadIR before, sometimes it gives a better more "convincing" type of response to the sound to make it sound more like a real, recorded guitar

>>118271801
Have you tried Neural Amp Modeler? Machine learning-based amp modeling sounds so fucking good nowadays, and this one's free. The only downside is that they can't model time-based effects or modulation/filters/etc. Just drive, EQ, and compression (to some extent).

https://github.com/sdatkinson/neural-amp-modeler/tree/main

Here's a link to a community of people who model their own gear and upload it. Amp/pedal profiles, cab IRs, etc.
https://tonehunt.org/all?page=1

IK Multimedia TONEX is a great paid option because you get access to tons of models from their community, too. The SE version is on sale for $60 right now.

>>118271801
Also, your recordings sound amazing. Good shit anon

>>118271858
I have listened some samples of it, but I haven't had yet the time to try it.

I always record all my guitars silently using headphones. I sold all my real amps and cabs years ago and decided that I will not use real mics every again.

The thing is that for DI guitar my go-to method has been using real preamps and pedals, before I hit the daw and IR. I also use pedals like Korg Power Tube reactor for some power sag and tube tones, and been eyeing things like ADA ampulator for power amp simulation when doing direct. Also Palmer PDI-05 and Ada Microcab are good when blended with IRs. But all in all, those cab emulators are just sophisticated analog EQs and perhaps you could achieve everything inside DAW using totally digital-direct route.

I used to think there is some magic mojo with real analog circuits etc. but then I've tried a lots of BOSS's COSM modelling pedals etc. and I've been slowly warming up to the idea of using totally digital route for guitar, certainly have to get really in-depth with that Neural Amp Modellers. I've also never tried Kemper and those more "professional" solutions when it comes to amp modelling. There's just way too much stuff to experiment with and achieve same type of sounds/tones using different routes. All in all, I'm a huge believer in direct, silent recordings because I just really dislike recording real amps with mics. Too much hassle

>>118271917
Yeah, I feel you. I want to model my little locally-made boutique amp and sell it soon. The two plugins I mentioned are seriously the best I've ever sounded with any setup.

Would like some feedback from dance and higher BPM producers. Most of what I've been making since I started to learn production has been ambient stuff so this is an area I'm pretty weak in. This sounds pretty good to me but I don't know what I'm doing wrong beacuse I have such little experience with this stuff.

>>118271079
This is already really compelling imo you should keep working on it. Build up works nicely but feel like it's too short, the synth that comes in on the drop is great and deserves more build up. Personally don't think the synth with the half note snare gets grating at all, it's a great way to reinforce the rhythm with something spacey and more interesting than the snare on its own, you don't even notice it most of the time because it's so transient compared to the main synth. Kick and bass seem to be doing the job okay, though getting perfect clean sub bass etc. definitely isn't my strong suit. Hits me pretty good coming from my lil 3.5 monitors though.

>>118272175
Also this is intentionally industrial and screamy sounding so don't listen if you're not into that.

>>118278995
>>118279480

I don't know theory so I just usually try to find some fifths with my left hand that don't clash too hard with the solos on my right hand.

help with more interesting chords/progressions would be good ig. some rearranging and adding a beat where it would help would be a good too.

i really just want to be able to upload like 5 songs of 1:30+ each to a portfolio or streaming service. right now I just have these meandering, melody and riff-filled voice memos on my phone

If you guys haven't done this, as a beginner throwing every retarded question I have about major and minor scales and piano shit I throw at chatgpt it kinda helps with understanding. I still don't think I'll ever be able to tell notes by ear, though. I am kind of sort of getting it.

Free alternative to Ableton's Operator?

I'm not looking for a big complex synthesizer, just something that has multiple operators that you can route together. Basically as simple as possible. Like 3X Osc in Frootyloops.

>>118279817
Depending on how much you're willing to spend you could definitely find a good ghostwriter and/or producer to do that. In general you do get what you pay for but there are some talented sellers who don't charge much because they're new or don't get many orders.
Obviously the main thing is just doing the research and finding someone who's done quality work that might fit with the vision you have for your songs. You can also try shopping around by sending short demos to multiple sellers for cheap before committing more material to any single person.

Not really, after applying whichever general filters you want it's just a matter of reading through descriptions and listening to their portfolios. Another thing is that each person's profile can have multiple "gigs" which are like different services they offer, so if you find someone you like but the description doesn't match what you want you may have to check their main page

Unify (by Pluginguru) is a plugin host/wrapper that is a plugin itself (as well as standalone). It comes with a lot of sounds. I ended up deleting them all and using it as my own sound design playground for original patches, but I remember there being a ton of presets in there.

You won't care about this part, but for others: it's nice because if you ever decide to switch DAWs, Unify lets you take all the patches you've made with you (instead of having your work tied up in Ableton instrument racks, for example). It's lightweight, too. It also lets you do some nifty things like load VST plugins in the AU-only version of Logic, as well as load plugins in a DAW where you haven't scanned for any yet (aside from Unify, of course). A big downside is that you can't use plugins that are native to your DAW in it.

There's a demo on this page.

Trying to use the Quilcom Terrormin VST in Magix Music Maker 2021. I'm a novice, but I'm not really seeing a way to actually chart notes at all; everything makes noise except for plotting midi notes or hitting buttons on the keyboard. I suspect it's functioning as intended and I just don't know what it wants me to do. Is there some feature I'm unfamiliar with? I saw that the guy making it had said at some point that he was "working on a midi controller for it", and I presume that's why the midi won't work, but I don't have anything else I know how to use to make it.. go. Also, the presets you can put in place (like pic related) aren't doing anything, and the notes are greyed out when I look at it. Any help would be appreciated.

Gonna try out the Neural Amp Modeler probably later today.

I played around today more with pic related AmpliTube vintage amp modelers and gotta say that I got really convincing tones after I slapped just some bass saturation/dirt on top of the master track:
https://vocaroo.com/1ot22iQq4QiM

All in all, after experimenting with these digital modellers it seems that the higher the gain and distortion the easier it gives away "the digital" tone, but when you use subtle levels of gain and dist it's really hard to tell is it a real amp or not. The other guitar you hear in the beginning is a real recorded tube amp, the other is the vintage modeller of pic related that continues to play alone after the intro

how did you learn to replicate synth patches
do i need a specific synth? or is there like turing completeness to sound synthesis?

It's not about what sounds are there, it's about what the listener hallucinates when listening to what is there

>>118292619
>or is there like turing completeness to sound synthesis?

doubt it... even something as simple as portamento has a bunch astericks like: is it logarithmic, linear, or exponential portamento? is it constant time or constant rate? and all of those usually vary by synth.

the way I've done it is learn about the techniques as best you can, then learn to use analysis tools like spectrograms. then snoop around to see if you can find any info on the techniques/equipment used by the artist or within that genre at the time of its production. if the artist is obscure and still alive you might even be able to email them.

even then it takes me hours to recreate something...

This is way outside of my wheelhouse, but i've always had an interest in trying to do soundtrack stuff. I'm using a lot of Spitfire orchestral libraries. The workflow is fucking horrendous though. I am using FL Studio, which I know is not ideal for this type of thing, but with all these sample libraries I want to automate vibrato, dynamics, expression etc. I don't want to manually draw that shit out for every individual instrument, that takes absolutely forever. I'm clueless on how to tackle this better. Can any anons give me some tips?

And if you're curious, here's what I'm working on:
https://vocaroo.com/1mF86gRqdo0N

you can probably tell I like my edgelord dark fantasy games. But anyway, there's no dynamics automation here, so everything besides the drums are just playing at 100% at all times. I can't be spending an hour drawing automation out when I'm in a creative phase.

>>118297998
additionally, responding to myself, how the fuck do you get around the notes of everything having a tiny little swell? It feels impossible to make a phrase with any speed or rhythm

Learn the fundamentals of ADSR and LFO first; this is 90% of all sound. Then learn to identify the difference between a SINE, TRIANGLE, SAW, and SQUARE. No matter the wavetable, it will fall in one of these 4 categories.

Once you get that down, the rest is just EQ and FX which comes with time. But if you get the first part down, you're 90% of the way there.

>do i need a specific synth?

No, but get Serum. Serum can do anything. Yeah yeah Vital is the new serum blah blah blah, just get Serum. I've been in /mu/ for years and the biggest thing I've noticed is the majority of people here and bedroom producers in general, really have no understanding how power Serum fucking is and how much it can actually do when you open up the hood and start diving into the hidden settings and matrix. There's really nothing you can't make off of Serum; you can even use it as a sampler if you want.

I am someone that actually makes money doing this, has been in the game for years and have I don't know many different plugins now I've either gotten through bundle deals, promo gifts, etc.

Literally I still just use fucking stock for over 80% of what I make because it honestly does most of this shit flat out better than these plugins getting dumped on the scene now.

I'm fairly new to production, coming from a piano background. I love drum and bass and I'm trying to start producing it but holy fuck I cannot think of anything original. I listen to the songs that I like and I tell myself I want to make something similar but I can't figure out anything besides what the song is doing already. I just don't understand how to create ideas.

Piano makes a lot more sense to me in that you can go off chords and scales in certain notes and freeplay around it to find melodies. I cannot translate that to trying to produce dnb music and I'm getting so frustrated, I don't know what to do

>>118297800
>>118298161

>>118300604
It's just a different way of thinking about it.
Modes tend to be a jazzist and/or guitarist way of thinking; I'm classically trained, so I don't see things that way.

>>118298367
Why would C# mixolydian sound any different from G mixolydian?

>>118300641
How do you classify the sound of each then? Besides, you agreed with the other guy who was clearly just saying he can't hear them.

>>118300501
I don't know much about drum and bass, but you can already play the piano. Just write some pieces on your piano, increase the tempo to 180bpm and put that classic breakbeat underneath it with a synth pad playing the same chords as your piano track.

>>118300642
It wouldn't and I didn't mean it that way; I just ended up rolling C# mixolydian. The arrangement of black and white keys has a small effect on what I end up playing due to ease of hitting certain keys without fubbing other near-by keys.
>>118300659
I generally think of things in terms of the relative major or minor key and the different modes are just different feelings like dark and mysterious (locrian), extra bright (lydian), jazzy-mysterious bright-minor (dorian), etc

>>118300642

>>118300737
I mean in terms of modality you're right, both sound like mixolydian. But in terms of timbre, some instruments work better in certain registers than others, easy example is human voice. And even without that consideration, certain keys can sound "lower" or "higher" than others just based on physical properties of sound. Like, there's a bass note that's the lowest bass note you can play without going outside human hearing range. If you build a song around that key, it's gonna sound "deeper" than any other.

disappointed desu, expected better

>>118301711
retarded quote supported by nothing but the authority of the author

>>118303499
i mean there's plenty of noise on the recording you're referencing as well. have you checked against youtube demos of the h2n to see if you're getting similar levels? if you're not opposed to doing a bit of clean up, izotope rx will get you pretty far.

the 6n is logical next step up. it's a decent device, been around forever, and it'll take mic ins so a lot more future proof.

>>118303571
thanks for the info
i think that spectral noise cleaner take away the harmonics and transients of the guitar

i tried edison spectral noise cleaner maybe i should give izotope a shot

6n, wont be able to afford it, are f1, f2 any good? small ones with attachable mics

i just checked a sound test of guitar on h2n again https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NvLGoCqTNbc
yeah this is much cleaner than what i'm getting, if theres any noise here, i dont hear it

any eurorack users in here? all I have is a neutron im looking to expand on it

>>118303619
okay, spend a bit more time with the device. try and position it similarly to the video, experiment with different recording levels and adjusting gain in post. the noise you're hearing is likely the room you're in, so make sure you've turned off ac/fans, other sources of noise, windows shut etc.

spectral denoise in rx is very good, just make sure you look up how to use it properly (you're going to need a clean section of room tone it can sample so it knows what to take out). rx will come with vsts and you can experiment with them, but in a real session you never want to use them - use the standalone app and clean up the audio before mixing with it.

>>118303670
oh and on spectral denoise, don't ever crank it to 100%. that's when the denoising will start eating away at the top end. also, re: f1, f2, i can't speak to their quality. again, plenty of demos on youtube for all these devices from end-users, check those first.

>>118303670
got it, yeah of course i shut off my laptop, close the windows, etc before recording
i tried isolating the noise to identify what it is, i think it's the noise of the recorder, isolated it sounds like white noise, not like recorded noise from laptop etc
again, thanks!

the new neural modelling stuff is arguably top of the heap right now:

the quality of results depends on the quality of the capture, but when they're good, they're better than traditional circuit modelled amp sims.
NAM is free and tonehunt has a lot of captures and a decent rating system. it can be a bit cpu intensive though.
tone-x is not free, but you can pirate it and there are places where you can pirate the user database.

I recorded this on top of some YouTube guitar jam track on the fly:
https://vocaroo.com/1fWwIGVhZDNp

Honestly, I don't see what's the problem. The higher notes are kinda terrible sounding somewhat, kinda like cranked BOSS amp in a box pedals, they get really terrible kind of unnatural distortion, but otherwise using those plexi style presets of the "classic" drive, it sounds pretty good for a free little amp sim and certainly would be usable in a mix situation.

Thanks for the rec, at least I had little fun with it. Certainly not the worst, nor the best, but honestly pretty good sounds

>>118301976

>>118306944
please don't fucking fall for this masturbatory "originality" elitist brainvirus bullshit anon. As a former elitist myself, it's the fastest way to get yourself to stop making music. I've been at this shit for 10+ years and if I've learned anything it's that each subset of music production is its own world. You can have a career specializing in any of many production tasks like mixing, mastering, sound design, composition, etc. It's unreasonable to expect yourself to master all of those. We don't live long enough to.

You need to figure out what kind of music you love, and what you love about making it. Then cut out the fat around anything that keeps you from making that music and doing the part that you love.

I'll answer your concerns though. If you don't understand something use google, probably best tool on your music making journey apart from practice.

>every project literally smashing the limiter
As a beginner it's easy to fall into the trap of "louder = better". A limiter is a type of plugin/device
(specifically a type of compressor) used to "limit" the volume of the loudest parts of incoming audio, while simultaneously bringing up the volume of the quieter parts. Useful on case by case, but when pushed too hard the result is loud but not really good. Best practice is to be mindful of the volume of all of your elements when it comes to mixing, and focus on sound complementing each other rather than being loud. Leave the "making it loud" part to the mastering stage.

For some genres composition, mixing, and mastering all kind of happen at the same time though, which is why I said you have to figure out what you want to make first.

>'zero delay' fabfilter EQ on low end
not sure, some plugins introduce latency I guess, but idk what that has to do with being a noob

>>118307833
Also, EQ'ing the low end (becuase of something called "phase" and the way that most EQ's mess with it to implement their functionality) sometimes causes weird artifacts in the low end that can affect the overall mix. Maybe that's what this loser means? idk if his tiny brain could comprehend something like that though

You'll also see that as a justification for keeping your bass frequencies in mono, which is generally a good thing. But even that has exceptions. See the song "help_urself" that blew up on tiktok. The bass in that song is very much not in mono, but it still sounds good

>saturator on sub
A sub bass is usually just a single frequency, saturation is a kind of distortion. All distortions add frequencies, and saturation does so in a way that isn't too harsh, so it's an easy way to make your sub appear thicker or beefier or whatever. It also makes it louder, which again brings up the "louder = better" trap.

>0 instrument panning on any channel
Yeah you got this one, instruments should have their own space, panning is one way to define that. Don't overdo it though.

I'm trying to make hip-hop beats (something similar to Madlib or Apollo Brown). Problem is... my beats don't sound right. I am looking for a cheap analog sampler (not gonna make beats on it just record samples in, pitch them up/down and record back into my DAW). I plan to buy Boss SP-202/SP-303 or Yamaha SU10/SU200. But if you know about better sampler, please tell me. My budget is ~400-500$.

maybe vocode the "dance all night" lines like daft punk and you can probably rip a soul singers voice using AI to make the "and its you" lines.

or just get AI to write it, most producers don't write lyrics or sing on their own tracks anyways. Also the bass line needs a bit more space in the mix its getting drowned out. but what ever you decide to do keep the lyrics simple, nobody wants to listen someone recite a poem on a dance track.

Here is another tone test I did with that same vst using pic related high gain tone. The "V Dist" probably stands as a reference to Mesa V Twin, at least it reminds me a bit of that Mesa sound.

Did some Metallica style chugging with it and some leads:

Can you post an example of those higher notes and distortion and preferably an amp that doesn't do that. I want to have something for comparison when comparing it to mine. I'm not satisfied with mine either.

>>118309795
well that's a creative question with no correct answer. having the vocals mirror a riff can sound good in certain contexts but typically they'll do their own thing

>>118309831
The higher notes I am talking about happen in the vocaroo around at 1:25 - 1:36 mark. It's hard to explain, but I think has to do with digital VSTs being too clean at those frequencies and they get this sort of "digital harshness" to it. Those BOSS "amp in a box" pedals are also digital, but they are not as bad offenders as many VST guitar amps.

There are workarounds to tame those freqs however. This is a good plugin when used subtly
https://plugins4free.com/plugin/3513/

>It is at it's most neutral at Input Gain and Tame at 0, at which time it brings down and blocks overly harsh high frequencies present in vocal esses, smooths cymbals, guitars and pretty much anything you throw at it.

Real tube amps etc. do reproduce those same freqs, but I think the generated harmonics and harmonic distortion

>>118310129
>but I think the generated harmonics and harmonic distortion

*tame those freqs and they do not sound as harsh at all

>>118301976
get real synths and record to audio. I do this every time I finish a session even if im using vsts. Fuckign done with my patches being forgotten and having to build from scratch.

cool track, my only take is add more low end maybe?

>>118313180
yeah idk. I'm really struggling with that bass. Ive even tried using a multiband compressor and cranking the gain up around 100hz, then theres not enough top end squelch.

>>118309418
I can't really say. I guess they sound too muddy. I use SP950 and RC-20. Maybe I need a better soft ware. Here's an example of this "muddiness".

I was determined to sell my Scarlett Solo 3rd gen and get a Motu M2 for better latency. But now that I've spent more time looking it up and not just the Motu's website, it seems to be a mistake.

I don't know what to do.

I'm pretty new to FL studio so I still have a lot to learn.
I'm pretty sure I'm doing something wrong here. For some reason the amp I am using sounds like ass no matter how many times I tweak the controls. But when I hear other people's sound files using the same amp it sound really great. Am I doing something wrong with the mixer?
Here is a test: https://voca.ro/15NPJL3p2RQo

>>118324639
Weird, I have the same Scarlett and it only gives 12ms of latency. Are you sure it wasn't a driver or DAW issue? Certain plugins can add a lot of latency too in case you were trying to record with any effects active beyond your amp sim or whatever

>>118324994
Me too, around 13ms at 48kHz and 128 buffer size. But I read that the Motu has half of that at the same settings. But then I watched these:
>scarlett
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jg6RZZBS9ls&t=615s
>motu
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3ednXYd1pA&t=532s

I guess I'll just order one and test it.

>>118325159
If you want to go lower then record at a higher sample rate (assuming your pc can handle it). I don't think the audio interface is going to make nearly as much of a difference as just changing settings

>>118324992
Without having the reference tracks to listen to, or knowing what you want it to sound like, my wild guess would be that they're using multiple stacked takes, gainstaging properly, and they're EQing the results accordingly.

Thoughts? It's the same idea with rock-ish instruments and then electronic. Does the melody at the end already exist?

What's the cheapest midi keyboard I could get? I saw one for 35 bucks at a thrift store today, thought it was too much, but looking on craigslist and ebay it seems like that's about the best I could do. Is there really no brand of just an octave or two-wide midi keyboards for 20 bucks available or something?

Song i made in garageband because im bored lol
How does it sound?

Is there a good guide for drum arrangement for people who don't play drums? A guide to understand what kind of things a drummer would/could actually play. Unfortunately I'm not a position where I can play drums myself, and I hate how insecure I am in my drum arranging because I feel I don't really know what I'm doing.

>>118331825
wdym

>>118331927
google "guide for drum arrangement for people who don't play drums"

>>118331927
Also watch live performance footage of music similar to your style and analyze how the drummer performs

>>118331927
Programming "realistic" drum parts is very genre dependent, for example in edm or pop it's not uncommon to hear phrases that would require two or three drummers or percussionists to play at the same time, but putting something similar in a rock or metal song would probably sound really out of place. So if you're not restricted by genre, do what sounds cool.

As far as speed goes pretty much anything can be played linearly, meaning only one drum or cymbal is being hit at a time. Where things get unrealistic is when you have say a hi-hat pattern being played over a tom fill while crashes are going off. You don't have to be a drummer to know that two hands can only be in two places at once. Your kicks can basically do whatever you want (within reason).

I also hate programming drums afterwards using just some sort of midi sequence. I've been thinking of getting something like this physical pad instead of my keyboard:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_7Tj0mBB-s

And taking proper beginner drum lessons to get mroe naturalistic type of groove going on. It would be also easy to limit the fingers to actual "real drummer" limitations so you would not do anything out of place type of decisions when laying out the raw drum tracks using some vst drum kits.

>>118332318
Some people like using pads, I never found them useful but it's personal preference I guess. Could be useful to feel out a kick/snare pattern but you can do that on a keyboard and unweighted keys are easier to play on than pads imo.
The piano roll can be tedious but also a good creative tool, plus it's easy to see when you have unnatural combinations of things happening on the grid.
If you don't have a kit yourself I can't imagine what a drum teacher would have you do other than buy a practice pad and drill rudiments, which wouldn't be helpful for what you're trying to do.

Anons, I need your assistance.
I have a recording on my iPhone voice memos app. I love how it sounds when it's sped up to 'rabbit' using the Playback Speed option, but I can't seem to export the song at this speed.
Any suggestions to achieve this sped-up effect in a format that exists outside of the voice memos app?
To be clear, it is not the same as, say, loading the song into a dj app and turning up the bpm. It's choppier.
Thanks in advance

>>118344265
