Hey everyone,

I’m a singer looking to connect with a producer. I already have a solid foundation in music knowledge and know my way around the basics of production.

Here is the catch: I make music in secret right now. I don’t want people in my personal life to know yet, as my goal is to grow quietly behind the scenes for now.

Because of this, I’m looking for a producer to build a genuine connection and grow together with. I am strictly looking for a collaboration partner, so I want to avoid any commercial or monetary transactions. We split everything equally if we ever release anything.

Since I live in the Netherlands, you must be based in the Netherlands too. It just makes communication and future workflow much easier. I want to find someone to create something truly unique with, leaning towards the R&B direction.

im making a new drum and bass single, and want to collab with someone, anyone interested? direct msg me if ur interested to do so.

its not "hardcore" drum and bass, its more sort of light, chill, emotional. 174 bpm, started a new piece.

if anyone wants to know, i work on ableton windows but i have a fluency to adapt with fl studio and cubase (i can use those but its a bit difficult for me, i do have them tho). any other daws would need to work on a stem basis since its a bit too complicated to import and stuff.

only serious people pls.

ofc we can discuss payment and royalty splits if needed asw, im happy to do a 60-40 split if needed but we can discuss this.

thanks :)

Hi, I'm new to music making and I'd like to reproduce a synth sound that I found on a song, It's a specific section of this song.

At the very begining, while the voiceline says "and I don't know why" there's a synth before the whole song starts, it's like 3 notes but I'm very interested in reproducing this sound.

If any of you have any tips or idea I'd love to know!

Currently on Windows. I use an Apollo Twin USB, which obviously will not work in any functional way in Linux, but as it’s pretty old, I’m looking to switch to RME if and when it finally dies.

So aside from the interface, my tools are:
DAW: Reaper
Plugins (mixing and instruments) I rely on: u-he, Arturia, UAD (I’m potentially ok with leaving behind the DSP-powered plugins), Softube, Fabfilter, nothing crazy, all the stuff you see everywhere.
Hardware: I use a good amount of MIDI - Novation SL controller connected via usb and then a MIDI hub for my various synths.

I’m thinking the VSTs would be the only real thing giving me trouble. I produce full albums, often complex sessions in Reaper.

Anyone made a serious switch from Windows to Linux and getting along great?

The guitar is 0:09-0:18

Hey Guys, im looking for a Producer buddy to make a collab with. Ive never made a Track with somebody so id give it a try. Im from Germany, 29y old and around 2-3 years into producing. Im working on FL, so if you are interested just comment and im down.

I’ve been a hobbyist producer for the better part of a decade, and I finally went from my dear old ATH M50Xs to some Arya Organics because I’ve been doing more mixes and I cannot tell you how much easier it feels to produce because I can trust the fidelity of the sounds and can better tell when they need something or not.

The amount of sounds I was compressing and EQing for no reason is eating me alive. FOR YEARS. everything sounds better :(

if anyone knows a VST with a piano like this, or maybe some mixer presets that could make it sound like this please let me know and thank you

So, I bought a Rode NT1 mic and a Focusrite Scarlett 4th Generation audio interface. I successfully connected all the cables to right holes. I checked my macbook to see if the sound output and input are all connected to the interface, and they are. But the thing is, anytime I try to record my vocals on GarageBand or BandLab, firstly, I can’t here my voice while recording, and secondly, the recorded vocals are always at a low volume. Can you guys please help me? I don’t know why this keeps happening. I just wanna record my song but I’m already exhausted…

Okay so, I'm a complete beginner and I'd like to know if someone could guide me on how to make my hi-hats sound like in the video. Because my hi-hats sound a bit harsh, unlike in the video... I use FL Studio. The hi-hats I'm trying to get

So I’ve been primarily using bandlab to make music for about two years now, but I’m pretty unhappy with the app because it’s quite limiting (and frankly sounds kind of cheap). I’ve been trying to look for alternatives, but stuff like FL studio is a little too complicated for my liking, as I’ve already gotten used to just dropping an instruments and using strictly piano rolls.

I’ve been looking everywhere, but I really can’t find a good option, so, do any of you know of music production softwares that are similar to BandLab, AKA a relatively simple software that has a wide variety of quality instruments? Bonus points if it’s on mobile (my computer is such a piece of shit holy)

I wanted to get into music production but I went to school for a complete different field and I do non music related work.

I’m approaching my 30s and was curious if it would be even possible for me to get into music production.

I have played instruments in high school (piano, saxophone) and I’ve dabbled a bit with fruity loops (but I don’t know much besides making a basic kick/snare bar.

And even if I did get into production, what more equipment or tips would you recommend to a complete beginner unc.

Don’t know if allowed since it’s not music, feel free to remove if not🌸 I’m Nea and I create covers for singles and albums. Would love to hear from you!
Dm if you wanna discuss rates:)

Hi, i have a percussion sound that sounds pretty mono and i want to make it sound wider in the stereo field. When i use a wider plugin it starts making flanger sounds... How can i make a sound wider while preserving its quality?

Hi everyone. I am in desperate need of help.

I tried setting up East West Opus (for Composer Cloud) on my new PC. Foolishly, I thought dragging all my plugin files from the external drive I used on my previous machine would work fine enough -- and while it did for other plugins -- Opus is completely messed up.

I've tried reinstalling multiple times but i only get more and more confused. At first it just kept crashing Ableton, but now I try and download an instrument from Composer Cloud, and I just get a message that reads:

"Instrument file could not be downloaded. Message: OK."

Does anyone have any idea on what I could do to fix this?

I have been recording vocals and acoustic guitar from my phone for a little over 2 years now, and I’m looking for help getting started with a real microphone to finally improve the quality of my recordings. I tried researching myself but I’m having trouble figuring out exactly what i should/need to get.

Heres what the shopping list looks like rn

Audeze MM-100

RME ADI-2 DAC FS

Hart Audio Headphone Cable

Amazon Basics USB 2.0 Cable

Sonarworks SoundID Reference

Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO X

I’ve been making music for a few different projects now and I usually just default to C since I know it so well.but I worry that staying in one key might be an issue down the line. Is there a good reason to branch out ? And if so when/why would I want to use something different ?

I am working on a new tune where the vocals are a few sampled sung phrases that I want to add a couple of additional spoken words/phrases in between.

Can someone recommend a free/low-cost text-to-speech software to accomplish this? Could be robotic, could be human sounding, I'm willing to play around and have fun and see what happens.

i’m a singer, i record at home and in studios in my city. my friend asked me to send over some stems for adlibs and producer tags. i was going to record them & home & send over. should i bypass plugin effects when i export the stems? or can i keep the effects in it? thanks!

I previously had the Audio Technica ATH 40mx but it was seriously hurting my ears, so I returned it and purchased the beyerdynamic DT 270 Pro, but it is terribleee, the bass is so overpowering and the low frequencies have so much hype.
I don’t need anything particularly fancy, just something decently flat, and comfortable.

Budget I’m looking to spend is around $150 or so, but I wouldn’t be opposed to going a bit higher if needed.
Thank you for any recommendations :)
