production

Hello everyone, I’m looking to upgrade/add to my computing needs for music with a desktop solution. I’ve been using a 2018 MacBook Pro faithfully for the past few years, but my mixing sessions in particular have gotten so big, to the point where it consistently stops my workflow dead. I’d...

Hi, just throwing it out there. i am starting a new project with a singer. Its going to be a lot of sampled acoustic middle eastern/world instruments (lutes, hand drums, micro tunings and so on). It would require lots of dynamics and going in the opposite direction of what mainstream pop and...

Hey all, to be 100% transparent, I'm looking for how I can be of more service to my fellow composers from the perspective of someone who offers educational products to composers. As a full-time TV music library composer for 23 years, I've also learned that I have had to really think about what...

I've got a song which is somewhere in between a demo and a polished/radio-ready track. It's got full instrumentation (with all of the non-vocal tracks from virtual instruments), and it's not missing anything essential. However, as a beginner, it strikes me that there's probably a lot of things I...

ts been coming to that point where i think the brain here in the studio space at my house might be due for an upgrade . currently finishing up an album all recorded and mixed on my current one . the first time it had to handle a full scale production like that. and while it did push through like...

Hi all I am interested in how some of the members here would approach the following from a grouping, balancing and mixing point of view. I have used 3 seperate solo Violin and Cello string Kontakt librarys (all as dry as I can make them eg studio strings). I have a three note chord set which...

Hey guys, this might be a quite abstract/vague question, but I would be happy about any input of yours! Whenever I finish a track I feel like it does not sound like I imagined it before – not even close. I know, this might be a feeling that will never go away, but it is so frustrating! My...

Wondering how everyone mix or use reverb/effect when the music is sound design-driven track? or when the instruments are based on synthesizers. Are you work on mixing at the same time when writing music or mixing after finishing writing? In order to shape the sound, every synthesizer itself...

Hi everyone! This is my first post here (I come in peace). I stumbled on this wonderful forum while reading a way-back recommendation made by @charlieclouser on a Gearspace thread and was *delighted* to discover a production forum on Al Gore’s fabled internet which doesn’t seem to be filled with...

Hey Guys! I hope everyone is well, please someone correct me if this isn't allowed... I run a remote mixing & mastering service and production studio with the goal to help artists achieve great quality songs and productions at a discounted rate because of everything that’s going on atm so if...

Hey All, I mixed the score for Cobra Kai and did a video walkthrough of my mix of a big action cue from the last episode. Hope you all enjoy! -Phil

Hi, my name is Mark and I am a plugin-holic. I have accumulated a plethora of plugins over the years, so many in fact, that my plugin manager has become a literal maze of folders and names. It even started to throttle my production as i kept scrolling through a seemingly endless list of...

So I'm pretty much a hardware-noob, especially when it comes to laptop components. Somebody else did put together the parts for my current computer and I was somewhat proud that I actually managed to make it running on my own. It's still a great PC, however I'm planning to buy an additional...

Hi, Firstly , I realise that a lot of extremely talented composers only use 16GB or less Ram on a modest system and produce incredible results. Those lucky enough to have a much more powerful setup , what would be the core libraries you would have to use for production music if you only had a...

Hi everyone! Here's my review of Project Alpha & Bravo (now 63% off for a limited time at Vst Buzz) by Hybrid Two. The bundle features a good variety of instruments ranging from percussion, synths, impacts, risers, downers and also more organic multisampled instruments like cellos and foley...

Hi everyone! Today I wanted to react to a video created by a good friend of mine, Austin Hull. He recently uploaded this video to help producers create vocal harmonies without needing too much music theory knowledge. I wanted to fill in the gaps and show you how you can write your harmonies...

Hey forum! Hope you are having a great quarantine time. Working at least :) So i tried to recreate this piece i mentioned in title. Let me know your thoughts and of course, if you have any questions let me know. This is the full version of first movement of 5th Simphony. Project is huge so...

The return from vacation was rather traumatic ... but our luck is to always find it where we left it: the music! Good listening, Sarah.

So this is where the yellow brick road has led me... I am in my young 20’s, am lured in by the nostalgia that wafts from the memories of the roaring 20’s, Madagascar, ancient Egypt, and Tibetan mountains home to zen monasteries, I live in Colorado USA, I am fascinated with eastern culture and...

Is it worth upgrading from Studio One 3 Professional, to Version 4. Asking this as the new 4.5 update is out and want to get an insightful look at what's new. If you think that it is worth it, please give me your favourite features. Oh and also please vote :) Thank you!

Hey guys, I finally got my own little room to make my music production studio, no more working in the living room! ;) I am trying to find information, guides and resources that can help me make it a good working place. The thing i find hard is that you can make it as crazy (and expensive) as...

How do you do orchestral mixing (and mock-ups) for trailers, film, tv and games ? So, I've done this in different ways. But which way do you prefer? Where do you place different sections of the orchestra in the stereo field? Do you put bass string parts central or to the right? Where do you pan...

Hi, Relatively new to orchestral mixing - would love some ideas on how I can improve my production! Wrote this with Cinematic Strings 2, Ark 1 and a bunch of freebies. Here's a temporary link to the wav: https://we.tl/t-bETJuRFcVp EDIT: Final version...

Hi all, I thought it would be interesting to do something in the same vein as John Carpenter and Alan Howarth with original hardware: Sequential Circuits Pro-One and Oberheim DX. I've then made a longer walkthrough of the production, sound designing, mixing and mastering in Cubase for those...

It's the first time I post here my work and I would love some feedback on this sound design trailer cue. It's a genre I love but don't have a lot of experience producing, I already know the structure is not very typical and I probably need way more energy in the 3rd act. Any other comment would...

Hey everyone! I've been producing music for nearly 7 years and can sometimes feel like i'm chasing an unknown goal. There are moments where I feel as if music is just something I do for fun, and others where I'm totally driven to put out releases, and strongly believe this is something I need...

I'm working on a game project which is using an adaptive music system. I'm new to composing for games so I don't have a standard workflow yet in Cubase. Specifically, I'm interested how others set up for multiple variations and adaptive slices. For example, right now I'm working on a background...

So I'm writing music for a stage production for the first time ever, which is pretty fun. The production is "Attack Of The Giant Leeches". The film was pretty craptastic first time around and the stage play promises no different, only it'll be funny. Genuinely funny, and because it wants to be...
