    in Music Making and Production/Industry

    Posted

    Hello to everyone,

     

    again i need your help... This time its about Arturia Jupiter 8V v. 2.5.

     

    After approximately 10 minutes Jupiter suddenly will stop playing. No signal come to selected channel.

    To reach rebirth I must hit the reset button... Its so disturbing, because it has so amazing sounds & I have started project with it...

     

     

    Could someone help me pls with this problem ?

     

    Note : Couple of times I have tried to change installing it, but after each time will come the same effect...

     

    Thx for help, I ll appreciate it a LOT!

    Hello to everyone ;)

     

    I think about release my own EP, so I decided show you some from my stuff...

    I am insteresting about your opinion, all feedback posts are welcome!

     

    Main question : Is this the right time for start releasing my own stuff? Have these tracks enough quality or they are only disharmonic bullshits? :D

    Cover is 1st thing, what attract attention of listener...

    in this case unfortunately (for us as artists) Bora has choosen it by his way...

    I dont want to criticise him, but i can imagine it a much more better..

    but have on mind, that he is beginner (rec. was set up in 2012) in releasing, & dont have too much skills or good budget , etc...

     

    But the main is music or not? :)

    i think it has to do with mainly with eq but also with reverb and delay.

     

    you have to give every element a unique space in the mix. if multiple instruments use the same frequency range, they'll clash and make your mix sound cluttered and lacking space (generally the more elements you have the thinner they have to be). the range from 200-500hz ("mud" region) is critical here, cut here (especially with your acidline) to make it sound clearer, but cut too much and you'll lose warmth.

     

    the right amount of reverb is also important when trying to achieve a sense of space. if you have a sparse mix you can afford much more reverb (think progressive psytrance), but when you've got a dense mix (like dandelion fx) you're much more limited. generally too much reverb here will make it sound cluttered, while too little will make it sound flat, uninteresting and lacking space. also using different kinds of reverb for multiple instruments often makes the mix sound muddy. i generally use one or two (at most three) reverb channels as a send.

     

    i hope my post contained something new for you and was a bit helpful.

     

    btw: do you mix on headphones? (like my own attempts at doing this) the mix lacks a bit high-mids, has a bit too much "mud" (at least according to my ears...) and sounds infinitely better with headphones :)

     

    btw2: i think you have a note that doesn't fit the scale in your pattern from 1:45 to 2:40...

     

     

     

    and +1 to veracohr

     

     

    it is true that cut frequencies on mud region will make result as no warmth..no doubt..

     

    no, all is doing on hi-fi soundspeakers..but sometimes in night i use my Koss headphones.;)

     

    and about the scale: i am not sure, but I think its ok,but i will check it ;)

     

     

    question: Do you think that, when I put every instrument on same note, but on other frequency, it will help me it with space, it´ll sound better, no crashing situations?

     

     

    thx for advices ofc ;)

    That's to be expected, but don't get fooled. I'd bet when you were in the mastering studio, the 'after' was a lot louder than the 'before', am I right? Our brains like to tell us something sounds 'better' when it's louder; it takes a trained ear not to be fooled by that. Another thing you might have been hearing is that when music is heavily compressed, little nuances of sounds that were previously buried start to come out, and it can sound impressive, like it "comes alive". But heavy compression kills dynamics, so one has to balance the negatives and positives.

     

     

     

    You said you want "more space", so I assumed you meant the mix is too dense, too many things going on at once, and I agree. The way to fix that is to have fewer things going on at once, which means removing sounds. Whether it's re-writing a part to make it more sparse, or removing a sound entirely from the mix, the only way to get more space in a mix is to take out the things filling that space. As far as breaking up patterns, as I said about the acid sound and the bass, they go pretty much non-stop, there are no rests. Alter the note patterns to give some rests, try making some notes longer than others. Again, to create more space you need to take things out; try taking out some notes.

     

    Dynamics aren't something that's added, they're something that's taken away. Like through heavy compression and limiting in mastering. Also try doing something interesting with a plain sound, like adding filter modulation if there's currently none, or some amp modulation if there's not much on a sound.

     

    yeah, you are absolutely right! in all ways: volume, heared sounds...

     

    note: taking out notes makes more space, but not at the expense of quality?

     

     

    ofc many thanks for advices.. ! :)
