I would like to hear your music made with Renoise or other Daws

Thanks for checking. Living in Hamburg, where do you come from?

Indeed the bass needs better eqing, also some dyn eq for those unison caused bass spikes. Didn’t check on speakers at all, can’t hear that problem on my headphones. Which headphones do you use? I used Superlux HD681, which I really like, but do not seem to be too accurate when it comes to bass resonances. I really have a problem with headphones, I avoided it completely for years, because I tend to ruin my ears with way too high loudness while using it. I also bought a lot of other headphones, e.g. Beyerdynamics DT880 Pro (worst purchase ever, IMO totally overrated headphones). I would like to have the fluffyness and dynamics of the Superlux HD681, but obviously with a more linear frequency response, and maybe more transient detail. So what you are using? :smile:

What do you use as a dynamic EQ?

I also didn’t check on speakers in this case, I just listened for the finetuning because you wrote that you already did a proper mix. :slightly_smiling_face:

Audio Technica ATH-M50 X

Using mdynamicseq.

Hm, I should re-mix once again on speakers this time, I am afraid :smile:

So, do you would call it dynamical? What do you exactly like about it? This is once of the nice things about my cheap Superlux: You can really nail the dynamics with it. Not so much the transients and eqing though. The DT880 for example have some kind of limiter inside, so its impossible to nail dynamics with it.

The ATX-M50X looks not too linear in FR:

Here is Superlux HD 681, which actually seems to be one of the most linear ones, only not on highs:

Hence my mixes made on headphones are too dull.

I would say yes. What I like about it? Well, since I use these headphones I don’t need to change that much anymore compared to the headphones I used in the past when listening on speakers for the first time while mixing. Of course there still are differences (at this point I have to say that I don’t use monitors, instead I use Hi-Fi speakers, but I already told you that), but as you probably know you can’t do a proper mix with headphones only (even if there are opinions saying the opposite), speakers are stringently required. And the price of 128 € is quite cheap. These headphones were recommended to me by a professional musician I know, so I trusted his judgement and it wasn’t a disappointment.

all sounds of real-world acoustic origin, processed & sequenced in renoise w/ all native dsp.

…sludge trance…

had the damndest time with the kick, lol. still doesn’t really punch

Drill’n bass, everything’s done with Renoise.

Edit damn that did not sound too good, weird speakers reacting to bass limiting. Well repost soon

I would make drums transients less “agressive” with compressors

Fast attack setting

Here another mix, no bass limiting:

Damn mobile link to SoundCloud, what a nonsense

All the rhythm parts are on the mid

How do you like this song/mix?

excellent as usual :clap:

where are you doing your sound design? specific vstis?

Thanks. This one as far as I can remember was just me testing out Breaktweaker for the first time to make some patterns which I rendered out to samples. Then the rest was all just Renoise with stock effects, and editing the samples sound by changing the pitch.

nice work in any case. renoise is super capable on its own, for sure.

did you end up using breaktweaker much after the demo? looks like an interesting bit of software

Aphex twin style

I’ve not used it since no. It’s a nice piece of software for sure. Lots of capabilities for sound design and easy to learn, I’d recommend it. I’ve been too busy with other things though lately so music in general’s falling off my priority list for the moment, will most likely use it in the future.

Felt pretty Squarepusher to me.
