I liked it. Even though there was no strong melody I could discern, the piece certainly communicates a mood and there’s lots of nice variation. Congrats on finishing it!

Very nice, I can easily imagine it showing up in one of Hana's mixes: https://www.youtube.com/@HANAtruly

The truth is that I have been making musical songs for 30 years... I humbly believe that you have not fully understood the musical philosophy of this track. However, you are right that the theme can give more of itself, and before sending it to production I am working on an extended version that wi...

To my ears the track seems kind of “unglued” meaning that it seemed like a bunch of independent tracks playing along at the same tempo? And there was no strong chorus to return to after the bridge. The track kept chugging along until the end when it unceremoniously ends. There’s a cool car revving s...

Great authentic sounds, but the arrangement could use some work. The melody isn’t very hooky. Kraftwerk had such a great ability to come up with a simple yet distinctive melody, I’m guessing this might have been your first stab at the melody ? If so, then perhaps try humming along to the backing tra...

Thanks for these pointers.

@mimidancer. Thanks, but I’m overflowing with samples

@arpeg: cool, I’ll check those out.

@jfrichards: that looks interesting. I’ve been exploring beatmap to try and get some interesting kick, snare, hi-hat combos. I’ll try your suggestions out.

Really enjoying this:

Yeah, so it’s really not adding anything new sadly. Surprised that this has not been created.

There’s probably something I can use in Vintage Vault.

I find the stock drums (even Loop Supply) to be very limited in variety, basically it all seems to be oriented to a particular kind of music (even the Pop collection is basically the same). Synthwave didn't exist back when Propellerhead put together those drums and loops. I think it was 1974 but I ...

Loops or sounds? The most used drumsounds in synthwave are from the obvious drummachines, like the LinDrum, TR-707 and Oberheim's DMX. All are available as RE emulations. The drum-loops in synthwave are rather basic four to the floor kick/snare patterns with 16th hihats on top. You can get ALL the ...

So I'm hoping there's a refill that covers a more classic synthwave style of drum loops? Loops or sounds?

I couldn't get the hang of mixing until I finally decided to take a dedicated online course. I bought the mixing and mastering course here: https://www.recordingrevolution.com/ - the guy who created it has since sold it to some other guy, but I imagine the original course is still available? Anyway,...

You have the option to right click on a block/multiple blocks and select 'Convert Block Clips to Song Clips' which put all the data back in the standard sequencer or you can copy the blocks from one track to another without too much fuss. As far as the best way to approach it, that's up to you. You...

Note: I'm sure this has been asked before so I'm sorry for the likely duplicate! This weekend I went back to an old project that I really like but never finished and moved it over to my new template in order to get it better organized so that I can work on completing it. I managed it, but I won't sa...

Muzak producers are definitely toast. In some ways I could imagine this boosting the live music scene. Nobody’s going to go to a club to listen to an AI. And yes AI cannot digest its own output, it quickly drives it mad, which is great because it means all AI generated content will need to be clearl...

I'm liking it, though I think it's missing a riser or something to introduce the main groove, the transition is very abrupt. Could be a drum fill instead of a riser, but something to say "Get ready!". The synth lead sticks around too long in the darkwave section. We need a break :) And I guess I wou...

It’s $2000 USD right? More than half (or more) of what other flagship keyboards cost – is this the “behringer effect” in action?

yeah definitely attacking the pro market from the lower side. Obviously I’m not in pro market!

No. There's no money in it.

Got a support ticket open, hopefully they'll have the part. But if all else fails there's a good number of reasonably priced MkIIIs on Reverb.

Thought I'd do a sanity check here on my MacOS machine, three VST 3's loaded and powered up Monosnap untitled 2024-04-11 15-21-30.png Definitely better than Windows, so maybe it's not happening on OSX.

If it's just sticky try warm soapy water. Then try sticky label remover. Then, if you are feeling brave, try a solvent like acetone. I've had success with all these methods in the past. If it is falling apart contact Novation. They can supply common spares for their stuff and sometimes for really o...

This seems to happen to a lot of softer rubbers (elastomers?) in my experience, the texture starts to get a bit sticky and eventually starts falling apart. I'm very happy with the controller so replacing it just to deal with a failing mod wheel seems bad. But I imagine trying to fix it is pretty poi...

Pros: It's a synth. Most Arturia stuff is good. Cons: It's got a bad name. It costs $$$$. Did I mention the price? But, yes, Analog Lab in hardware form. Great idea. But that price.
