Corona is still fucking me up,iam still on short-time work and our Company wanted to sack 2300 People
beautiful new world,so I’m slowly getting mad at the politicians
Thats why I made an HardCore Track. I took some Samples from 3 of my favorite German Movies
so my angriness turned into Happiness
I had too much work to do in the last weeks, so I was out of time and too tired for music, and of course my creativity lacked a lot. But now I could recover for a couple of days, so I reactivated making music and the result are these two tracks I made in the last 2 days.
Elektro:
Synthwave:
Of course the sound quality in Youtube is not that good, but you can listen to the tracks on Soundcloud, too.
Iam always using Renoise with my Headphones and it sounds for me ok.
That seems to be the Problem that the track sounds different without Headphones
So what do you say is the best way for Mastering?
using Vst Plugins in Renoise
My last tracker programs I used were noise trackers, protrackers and fast trackers. That was in the nineties with 8bit samples and without masters.
So the topic of mastering is still new territory for me.
I would put 4 plugins on the master track as I understood it:
If you ask me, you have to keep it simple. Do your mixing via studio headphones (they have to be good, like these), then switch to your normal Hifi speakers and adjust the sound. Switch back to your headphones and check again. Do it as often as you need it to do until the result is good. For the mastering you don’t have to use that much in my opinion. Use a compressor in every single track of your song, and in your master channel you only need two things: a) Maximizer (Limiter) and b) Mixer EQ, that’s it. The mixing is the most important thing here, if your mixing is good you won’t have to work out that much on your mastering, because it’s already good. In relation to your mixing you can also add an EQ in every single track for adjusting bass, treble and mids, but don’t overdo it, do it slightly. Usually it doesn’t need much of that. That’s how I would do it. But I’m not a pro, so maybe it can be done better. If you want to hear how it sounds if you do it my way, you can have a look at my newest tracks posted yesterday, which you can find above.
Hey guys, first time poster. Been an Ableton user for 8 years. Begrudgingly downloaded the Renoise demo because Ableton isn’t supported on Linux… Slowly realised I had found my new favourite DAW! Bought the full license a few days ago. Feels good supporting such empowering software.
Here are my first two tracks…
Trap, future bass
Hip hop, sample-based, weird
(Yeah, I know, not much to show for almost a decade of experience)
