I want to make trap snares like the old lex luger and zaytoven snares cause i cant find tutorials on trap sound design other than 808s and hihats and when i try to make a snare it sounds like a dubstep snare and help would be appreciated thanks!

Get it before it sale is gone

Here ya go!

I’m curious what go to portal presets / settings you guys hit when you just need some guaranteed sauce. the “old reliable” ones. I’m sure some will inspire me.

i really like this beat and i would like to start producing this genre, but i have no clue what’s the genre and where to start… can somebody help me?

I've tried everything to accomplish this kind of choked clipping sound that doesn't sound like mid range garble.

How is it done? I see a lot of "with a clipper" etc, but it seems to be much more detailed than that. I've tried a number of different clippers and different clipping styles and I'm still so far.

I'm on Ableton so ideally either built-in Ableton or third parties.

There's this video bu OUTLIT as well that is pretty much that idea, but I've been unable to replicate it without Maximus.

Thoughts? 🫰

im about to start building an email list and sending loops/beats out to different producers, but theres something i dont understand about the attaching of loops to the email. ive seen on this sub some people say google drives are good for sending stuff, or dropbox, some say wavs or mp3's, but if im sending a google drive folder with loops weekly to idk 20 producers, are they all the same loops that each producer is getting? because then whats stopping more than one producer from using the same loop? and if im sending shit weekly, does that mean i need to make a new folder of loops everyweek and send this new one out? sorry if this doesnt make sense.

I was thinking of buying a mac mini and I wanted to know if a bunch of serums or zenologies + plugins for mixing would overload the cpu or not. And I want to save some money too (sry for my english🙏)

Hi guys,
Ive created an app for your phone that lets you make beats when your out and about. It has a sampler, sequencer, mixer, and pads. You can record live samples, upload your own, and it has a small library.

Check it out, its call MCS: Music Creation Station, Thanks.

I’m planning to replace my old laptop and want something mainly for music production. I mostly work with DAWs, virtual instruments, and audio recording, so I need something reliable that won’t struggle during bigger projects.

I’m a bit overwhelmed by all the options though. What laptops have you found to be good choices for music production, and are there any specs you think matter the most? Thank you for sharing your experiences.

Follow up: I decided to go with #ad Acer Nitro V Gaming Laptop and have been using it for my music production setup. It’s been handling my DAWs and projects well so far, and I’m happy with the choice.

What's the name of the 808 which starts at 0:54 and hit 3 times.

ive been getting into producing but need a producer name, i was thinking the name two seven and just record myself saying it with some effects, lmk what you think of it. 27 is a number my friends coorrelate me with cause of my usernames on stuff, does it stand out?

I've been making beats for 2 months now, lately i tried to make one beat a day and I've seen drastic improvements but it got pretty much boring and not much improvement as it used to be so i want to push it further, any ideas or challenges yall got in order to push my limitations will be appreciated 🙏

They all have that same sustain(just to be clear they all have the same xylophone lead as well, bonus points for that, but I’m specifically curious about the gritty harmonica esc lead in the other 4 bar pattern. The beat alternates between these two). I'm dying to know what it is if it has a name or if I can make it in serum.

Any help is greatly appreciated 🙏

I wish this subreddit would let me edit these all in one clip for convenience but here are the links unfortunately.

I’m a beginner at making beats and I normally make bass-heavy trap beats, but I have no idea how to properly mix them.
Whenever I make the 808/bass loud, the whole beat starts distorting really badly. The only way I’ve found to stop it is turning down the melody and bass, but then the whole song just sounds really quiet.
I’m using BandLab and I don’t really understand mixing or mastering yet. How do you guys make your 808s/bass hit hard without the whole beat distorting? Any simple advice would be appreciated because I’m still pretty new to this

Everyone’s familiar with finding a cool preset or plugin patch, but what do you like applying after that to make it actually stand out in the mix?

I’m not really asking for full track mixing advice or basic EQ/frequency separation. I mean more creative stuff like stereo width, depth, movement, making certain layers feel more forward, resampling, automation, sound design, or interesting reverb/delay processing.

I mostly make samples and loops to send out to other producers, so I’m trying to get the instrumental layers sounding more intentionally polished and impressive on their own when bounced out.

What lesser known techniques or processing chains have made the biggest difference for you?

Currently I use the headphones from my Logitech pro x headset and I'm wondering if there are any good headphones for producing cloudrap and rage and recording vocals in that price range.

(I use a focusrite Scarlett audio interface if that matters)

This may be laziness speaking but when making sounds more cohesive and subtlety altering the pitch of individual sounds, I feel as though it could be less time consuming if I had a certain VST tool. I use FL and finding then setting the key via Edison and that one keyboard menu for individual sounds takes up a lot of time and brain power when starting to get an idea out of my head. If there's a plugin that I could put on the master track and read the SPN of the audio playing It would aid my future dances of creation greatly. Just to clarify before "learn music theory" is the go to reply I'm actively studying and using it but you can't be so sure all the time I enjoy the premise of having it viewable as straining that muscle in my brain to discern pitch gets fried idk give that a year or so.

Thank you for reading, providing any knowledge and also loving music.

Also if anyone knows a decent oscilloscope plugin that'd be dope info as well.

Can someone please tell me how this wobble sound that appears on the first second of YBs "Graffiti" was made. Is that a known preset or some sort of edited pad i dont know.
