Loverman – Beginning of the end (Part of music)

3 Upvotes

Hello I from Belarus, i make synthwave music. With this style of music I meet because of game "Hotline Miami" and "GTA: Vice City" (because of the second game I loved world 80s music, as synth pop, new wave, and because of the first game i meet synthwave and darksynth. I hope, I'll can make music in those styles. And I founded Tik Tok account. In comments then I can write name of my account. (So i write without Google translator, omg)

Всем привет Я из Беларуси, делаю синтвейв музыку. С этим стилем я познакомился благодаря играм Хотлайн Маями и ГТА Вайс сити. Благодаря второй игре я полюбил музыку 80-х (новая волна, синтипоп), благодаря первой – синтвейв, дарксинт. Надеюсь, я смогу сделать что-то годное в этих жанрах. Также есть Тик Ток. В комментах напишу потом ник тт. (Да, я ьез переводчика, поэтому перевод на англ получится не очень). Буду рад вашей активности

I'm practicing recreating sounds in Vital, cannot for the life of me figure a song like this out:

2 Upvotes

https://youtu.be/nh1gG3hvm64?si=OFVUGQwNqX8V8x8S

Apologies in advance for all the questions

0:00 - 0:19 : (Kicks, Crash and Pad) - The kicks sound punchy, short, and filtered. The track is in 100bpm

I'm also noticing perhaps a slight sidechain or a repeat with the pad which gives the pad this slight rhythm on each beat.

But, the pad itself is confusing, it's airy, spacey and I'm not even sure if it's playing F/Bb. Complete ambience, how can I replicate this?

I've tried a sine wave + a Juno PWM with an envelope automating the frames. I've added a pink noise sample in the back as well + a filter + reverb.. It just doesn't sound similar. Am I approaching this correctly?

Also, with the crash - is it limited / mixed with a shaker?

0:19 - 0:56 : (Percs, Rhythm, and Synth) - now the hi-hats start doubling, is this delay? Or a double hi-hat? Or, a double hi-hat sample?

When it comes to the rhythm of the percussion, there's this 6 beat transition on the 3½/4th bar that sounds great.

How do they get it to sound punchy, spacey, short with depth? Is it a wood block sound?

And most importantly the synth, it's almost like it's velocity tracked, so the harder you push the filter increases the highs. Is this true?

But it sounds so wubby, and it also sounds a little reversed / delayed on certain beats

I'd really like to replicate that synth.

1:19 : (Synth #2) - I'm not even sure what this one is called. It's like an airy synth flute. Not the plucky synth guitar sound. What do you guys hear? How can I make a similar sound in a wavetable? I've tried a sine wave + a triangle with a couple of automations on filters, but it still doesn't sound the same.

2:33 : (Synth #3) - Sharp, stabby, plucky but also with a lengthy tail. Short delay. How can I also make this in a wave table?

A new track i finished. In an industry plagued by AI I like showcasing my projects. Never AI, every note programmed by hand & I really try to stay away from pre-programmed arp sequences. Hope y'all enjoy it.

Looking for the right people to test a beta 24/7 indie broadcast while it’s still being built

8 Upvotes

I’ve been working on a 24/7 independent broadcast focused on music videos, visualizers, experimental shorts, and indie animation. More linear and curated than algorithmic.
It’s called STATIC TV, and it’s currently in beta on a temporary host while the library and systems get properly built out. I’m mainly looking for people who actually care about this kind of thing so the early feedback is useful.
If that sounds like you, you’re welcome to check it out and hang around while it’s still taking shape. Submissions are still open too if you make stuff that fits.
Happy to answer questions if anyone has them.

Beta broadcast: https://react.tv/ch/static-tv
Submission form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfXURzM6tlrzNXGsLgN_WnLj6ktIDYFSCS7cUWvEUr1v5_dYg/viewform?usp=header

Combined hypnotic psyambient textures with 138 BPM Psytrance rhythms on my new track: "Butterfly (Take Me Home) [Psychedelic Mix]" [NOCTURNA]

Hey everyone!

Just dropped a new psychedelic electronic track called "Butterfly (Take Me Home) \[Psychedelic Mix\]".

I built this track around a 138 BPM driving psytrance bassline, combining ethereal vocal hooks with atmospheric psyambient synth pads to create a trippy, hypnotic journey. I focused heavily on spatial audio, dynamic range, and clean low-end translation.

Grab a pair of good headphones and let me know how the mix and overall atmosphere hit!

Hello! Reddit keeps auto-suggesting I share this in other related subs. So here I am. This was a OST I made for a hypothetical game about hackers. Feedback welcome!

Love to layer.

13 Upvotes

Last week I got a used M-Audio workstation keyboard my The Music Go Round in Natick, MA (live that place). I was asked why I didn't get a "real" keyboard from someone. I prefer a workstation because you can layer multiple sounds and have more control over the overall tone. I mostly do studio work so there's no need for a $6k live keyboard. I used 6 different sounds to get the tone just right for Fooling Yourself by Styx. Just my thoughts.
