I think with all the great vsts for mastering if we put some effort we can accomplish similar or better results but soundcloud did good to include such a service.My opinion on the streaming game is that i think music needs to be dressed with a good video so youtube is the ultimate service and free and when i have time i will be migrating all my songs there.

This was about six months ago when i had just started making music and was still using abelton. I didnāt know much about mixing or composition, still donāt. i remember having those delusions of granduer with my songs, only to cringe when looking back on them.
But i had fun and was excited when i was making them, so i guess this is more of just a reflection of when i first had started out (i mean six months aint nothing when it comes to a skill or hobby, so i still am) and iām looking forward to learning more and continue trying to just make some good music.
Sorry for the ramble style post, but i just wanted to share a bit of my experience with this great hobby we all shared.
If i could ask a question, what year did yāall start making music and what did you guys use and why did you want to get into the hobby at the time, or now? Iām Core Gen Z, meaning i was born in 2005 and i just want to get some different perspectives and look at some different experiences from different times.

Where can I find the exporting config? And with ānull testā you mean this, right? Very scientific. Guess I have to learn some more audio engineeringā¦
@ffx
All right, I just cutted the frequencies over 10KHz on 3 instruments, Hihat, Hat and one percussion. Somebody told me that in all my songs the highs are too āharshā. Never heard that before (I just heard āgreatā from everybody, including professionals), so I tried something out. The only thing I know is that the highs are getting a little bit more intense or louder after rendering the song (not much, but that much that you can hear the difference), especially when it comes to Hihats. Thatās all. And now Iāve heard from somebody else that without cutting the highs it would sound better. I guess I have to do what Iām already doing all the time because I want to do it the way Iām doing it.

Hello Manuel.To me personal music isnt just a hobby is a need from within that i always had inside me.I remember singing from a very early age but i didnt know that i could also make songs until a few years ago(i am now 41) when i finally gave Renoise a chance.I messed with a lot of Daws but those didnt feel right for me but Renoise did.My advise to you is do what i didnt, you are very young so you learn faster.Learn piano, does not matter if you will become a super player you will need to know how notes/scales/chords work to make a song and going hands on with an instrument is the best way.Hell if you want even better results learn guitar too.Learn the Daw of your choice as better as possible so you dont waste time thinking what does what all the time,this will kill your creativity.Listen to all genres of music even some you dont like,there is always something in there for us composers and when i say listen i mean really pay attention on what the instruments are doing and ask your self questions why they are doing it at any given time in a the song.I always start Renoise with a complete blank project and that makes me make songs out of the ordinary. Use the internet to your advantage you kids these days have all the info in front of you dont let the web use you.Youtube is full with tutorials and there is always this forum if you need any help

Thanks, one of the things Iāve been trying to learn online is some basic music theory, but i know eventually i should probably learn how to use a instrument. My mom bought me a midi keyboard when i was 13, it would be best to put in the time to at least get a little familiar with it.
Thanks for the advice and i good luck with your musical journey.

Not my usual style, but i did this as a āpracticeā and the vocals are just too damn good.
-aaaand there are prizes 
you can download it for free without tag - if that is annoying
i did the whole song today (from arrangement perspective)
mixing-wise, there is no dedicated production except some general masking, which you can hear obviously
i thought that deadline was now, but itās tomorrow, and if you look close enough, those muted tracks - arenāt intended to be muted, itās just that i rushed too much that i forgot to revise all instruments parts
What do you think guys?

A glitch track I made a few months ago with mostly sample processing on Ableton Live + Bitwig. Most samples were taken of Death Gripsā āNiggas on the moonā and processed with grain delay (with tons of modulations) and Glitchmachinesā Quadrant VST.
I was kinda obsessed with The Colour Out of Space tale by Lovecraft and near-death experiences, so I tried to tell a story with the track. Is it an alien abduction? Or just a near-death experience? Heck, I donāt know. Take your own guesses hahahah.
Btw, I havenāt mastered it, so the EQing is kinda crap. Might try the new mastering function provided by SC (the track by @TheBellows made me wanna try it).

Thatās a good point. Could be interesting to read about the stories of the guys here in this forum. So Iāve created a thread, you can find it here. Itās similar to this one, but itās more detailed and not only based on Renoise. 
nice one! thanks for sharing <3 that track made me think and do nothing for 4 minutes

Also if you do a ālive renderā? You always can use mrecorder to catch EXACTLY how itās playedā¦ But I am unsure if this actually is required, since dblue multiple times explained what could change on a (offline-)render. Are you rendering to a different sample rate than played? A lot of VSTi/VSTs still have bugs regarding samplerate inside, I lately was surprised about that again, so the tonality can totally change, if you switch the samplerate. I also think some deprecated Renoise filters are samplerate dependent, too. Are you using Renoise 3.2?
Here is my latest noise:

Never thought about the samplerate in this context, but in some cases it might be the point. Mostly I keep everything in 16bit, but Iāve got some samples in 24bit, too. And I only use samples when it comes to the drums, so it could be that some Hihats in 24bit were used here and there. I will check this. Rendering is always taking place in 16bit. But it canāt be caused by an offline render, because I always render in realtime. Rendering offline is causing too many faults, for example most delays are out of tune after rendering offline. I could also record everything with No23 Recorder, but Iāve never done this before. And yes, currently Iām using Renoise 3.2.1.
@Garf
Yes, nice one. Reminds me of the good old times when cracktunes and demoscene tunes were big on Amiga. It also has some SID feeling. But not only that, it adds some nice electronic vibes in a top quality, too. Itās also very well composed, everything fits together perfectly. Great tune!
8 years ago I did something in a similar style, but without the nostalgic part:
I would consider it to be āElectronicaā.

Sorry for all of the demos, but this is the song iāll be releasing in a couple of weeks. I kinda got caught up in VSTs and using a bunch of different plugins, so instead, iām starting over and going back to using stock effects. As always feedback appreciated and if thereās anything work on in terms of composition or mixing, feel free to say. Right now iām just trying to get the bass and 909 distorted kick to be present in the mix.
Thank you for taking the time to listen and i hope you can find some enjoyment out of whatās here.
