HOW TO INDIE ROCK

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cg6ClO1IpMw 


 HOW TO INDIE ROCK:


guitar:

actual guitar

make chords 7th

record chord progression twice

1 in left channel, 1 in right(Ctrl L, use mixer) (50, 60, 70 %)

route both to new this track only


drums:

need real

use muted 

put t shirt on snare, sleeping bag on kick, cloth on hihat

fin way to emulate this in fl studio

rogram:

one shots?

kick snare hihat

snare(less) and hihat(mroe) main, kick when u feel like it

adj alt velocity of hihat

kick and snar - alt r - will randomize velocity


route drums to 1 this track only




bass:

use real

or make elec guitar into bass

root notes of chords




add. percussions

add shaker, tambourine

high end, fill out sound





lead guitar:





acustic guitar:

add in chorus

light and depth

same chords







keys:

pads or organs

beef up track

plugin

pluginXpand!2 > organ

use same chords

add another note at the end of the prog







mixing: 

volume and levelling

main elec guitar - CLA guitars stereo, preset elect clear tone, knob - clean, mess with settings

drums - reverb comp and eq on drums, bring high end AND bass

bass guitar - plugin, TRS black 76, default good alrd

shaker - cut out high end with EQ, can pan to 1 side(R)

acoust - CLA unplugged or default reverb, eq

organ - a lot of reverb, realistic, large hall





how to lay out the beat:

main guitar first, bring in lead and shaker

DONT just put in drums by themselves, add bass at same time, remove shaker

DONT let it get repetitive and over complicate

can add crashes for transitions

IDFK WHY FL STUDIO DOESNT HAVE SEPARATE OPTIONS FOR INPUT AND OUTPUT BUT THATS LIFE

HOW TO CLEAN MIX

  HOW TO CLEAN MIX


why muddy? OVERLAPPING

from kick and 808? NO, its fine on their own

samples - good to be good quality

coming from 1 main area - 808 and melody OVERLAP

abt 200hz



how to add to a mixer track?

select multiple(the green rect beside name)

Ctrl L


how to make not muddy?

make sure they dont overlap - UNLESS you're layering

layering = playing the exact same notes



how to decide what to put where? 

sometimes two instruments, one is brighter, higher freq

its fine if theyre the EXACT same chords

its NOT fine if it's like a bass - but not the BIGGEST culprit



WHO ARE THE MAIN CULPRITS aka the ones that need EQ-ing?

counter melodies, leads, arps


how to fix if theyre clashing? easy way:

pitch them 1 octave higher

now track seems like it has more SPACE



how to reduce mudding and add SPACE:

reduce the volume aka LEVELLING


actual trick to EQ:

cut out low freq in melody

bring 1 circle down, adjust the shape at the top to look like a shelf

for instruments which dont have tt much low freq, cut even MORE out 



eq all melody(no percussion):

select all tracks in mixer

ctrl and drag

find empty > rmb > route to this track only

move it nearer to the rest

add EQ

drag btm knob for all cept ends all the way to 0

at the top, click on dot, drag it all the way down

now when you drag them up, theyre skinny


now we EQ OUT THE RESONATING FREQUENCIES

HOW? drag one of them up, it will sound very ringing when you hear it, very tin-ny

instead of up, drag it down slightly(-1.5 to 7dB)(top left of screen should show you)

most efficient - left to right, one after another

now do the ends


if youve used up all, load up EQ on another slot the right

can make preset with all knobs down


last resort: side chain kick and melody

what dat mean: melody vol go down when the kick hits

how:

select kick, go to whole melody, click the btm arrow so it turns into a knob (so its linked), turn dial to make level 0

click whole melody(dial should disappear)

add a limiter

go to compressor tab

rmb > kick

knee and ratio all the way up

sustain and release quite low(but not 0)

threshold - lvl at which kick will bring vols down

up to you

about half, at top of melody waveline

when you turn the dial, you can see a blue line hit the waveline
