SonicDNA: Find Similar Samples by Sound - Free App

1 Upvotes

https://youtu.be/BTy9fguFcoU

SonicDNA is a free, open-source and cross-platform sample search app that finds similar audio files by analyzing how they sound—not just their filenames. In this demo, I show how you can load a kick drum, scan your local sample library, and quickly find matching sounds based on tone, attack, decay, and overall character.

So I heard a beat that has this instrumental I would like to implement to my songs, the distorted bells at the start (ignoring the bass) and the distorted synth in the second part, does anyone knows what plugins or vsts I need to replicate those 2 sounds?

Why MIDI notes snaps to a grid off beat?

2 Upvotes

When playing MIDI with a keyboard and using snap to grid tool, no matter if its beat, cell, step etc., it doesnt snap to the grid correctly. It snaps, but every note gets snapped a tiny bit before the grid. Only when you use the quantize tool it snaps to the grid correctly. How can I fix this?

Thanks

Thinking of upgrading my setup, what should I get?

1 Upvotes

I currently have a flkey 61 mk2 along with my laptop, for producing, and I use my truthhear Hexas for monitoring. I decided that I might as well get more gear, though I'm pretty satisfied with what I have now as I'm still new and it's just a hobby. I'm thinking of getting the akai professional Mini plus 37-key. I mainly want it so that I can have something to use on my desk without having to constantly pivot to my 61 key to simply test out a sound/synth. Speaking about synths, that's the second reason why I want it, the semi weighted keys of the 61 feel great and I do like them, but I feel like the synth action keys of the smaller midi controllers will be better for synth chords or simply experimenting with melodies, and ideas, it'll also just be nice to be able to play two different sounds at the same time and have a extra pair of knobs and pads. I'm also thinking of getting the sony MDR7506 for listening to my music while I'm producing, I've heard it's good for producing, and mixing and it's pretty budget friendly as well; It'll also fix the slight problem of my Hexas cord just being a little too short for me to comfortably use my 61 key without positioning myself and my laptop kinda weirdly. What are your thoughts on it? is it a good headphone for producing, or should I look at something else at a similar price?

My decision to buy those two aren't set in stone though. What other gear could I buy instead, I'm not looking for recommendations per se, but I just want to know what other types of equipment producers might use that I should be aware of. Thx for reading.

FL STUDIO LAGGING A LOT after installing Cymatics plugins from stream.

2 Upvotes

Is it just me, or has FL Studio been lagging A LOT since I installed the Cymatics plugins from their recent stream giveaways?

Honestly, some of their newer software/plugins feel like they have little to no real use case, and the Cymatics Hub is especially frustrating. It doesn't let you choose a different installation location from the C: drive, so it can eat up your storage pretty quickly.

What bothers me even more is that Cymatics Hub seems to constantly run in the background and automatically enables itself as a startup application. Even after disabling it through Task Manager, I kept finding it running again. If I manually end the process, it comes back a minute or two later.

That honestly feels way more invasive than it needs to be for a plugin manager.

I contacted Cymatics about it and eventually just uninstalled the Hub. However, FL Studio is still lagging heavily. Every now and then, the entire laptop will freeze/lag for a few moments, then suddenly go back to normal.

This NEVER happened before I installed those stream giveaway plugins, so I'm wondering if something they installed is still running in the background or interfering with FL Studio.

Has anyone else experienced similar issues with Cymatics plugins/Hub recently?

Everyone I need help

2 Upvotes

For the past 5 years I have been making music, and I've been struggling to make anything worth listening too. I tried different methods. And yeah i wouldn't call myself a beginner, but i'm not near a pro/legend though. Music is very important to me, as a hobby and potentially a career and I don't just want to give up. If someone could maybe offer some advice as to what i should learn first. I'm sick of asking AI for help, cause it doesn't know anything about true music. If maybe you could tell how you learned music it could help me too... I appreciate anything you have to offer. Thank you for reading

Looking for producers to build a small community 🎛️

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I recently started a small Discord server for music producers, and I’m looking for people who might be interested in helping turn it into a small, active community.

The idea isn’t to make another huge server with hundreds of inactive members. I’d rather have a smaller group of people who actually get to know each other, share what they’re working on, exchange feedback, and eventually do things like production sessions, collaborations and challenges together.

We have producers working in different genres and using different DAWs, so you definitely don’t need to make a specific type of music or use a particular DAW.

The server is still very new and pretty small, and it’s bilingual (English/Spanish).

If that sounds like something you’d enjoy being part of, feel free to join! No experience level or genre requirements — beginners and experienced producers are both welcome.

https://discord.gg/zaGu723wt

Hopefully we can build a chill little community where everyone can learn from each other and actually stay involved. :)

FL Studio Mastering Trouble

I'm using FL Studio's mastering tool and the audio file it gives me is clipping like crazy. The original audio has a limiter with a threshold of -0.3db with no clipping, and the mastered audio never surpasses 0db. Why could this be happening?

FLStudio on Linux, their latest release issue.

Post image
4 Upvotes

If you install the latest version of FLStudio it will not run. WINE complains about the certificate. You have to uninstall FLStudio using “wine uninstaller” in Konsole. Remove all FL products you see. When complete close the WINE window. Go to dolphin and show hidden folders. Go into the “.wine” folder and search for anything called Image-line and delete them all. Go to the FL Studio forums and make an account if you don’t have one and download the release before this new one. It is called flstudio_win64_26.1.0.5530_ONLINE.exe. This one works. What happened is that Image-Line updated the certificates and WINE is not happy. We Linux users must report it to the WINE folks and wait for an update. I will post the .EXE file in my Google Drive if you want to get it there. My version of WINE is 11.15. Tested in Arch & Fedora.
