I’ve spent nights and a lot of weekends over the last ten months slowly chipping away at a new product brand.

The sounds, programming, GUI, store, visual identity, copy, file naming, and all the little pieces required to make the whole thing work.

It’s called The Foundry, and our second release is Echelon: Drum Hits, a Kontakt instrument built around the cinematic hits, trailer toms, stomps, claps, and impacts we’re constantly reaching for in our own work.

Honestly, the part I loved most wasn’t only creating the sounds. It was figuring out how everything fit together and building a visual identity that could grow into something much bigger.

People always say that being an entrepreneur means you need to delegate everything. They’re probably right, but building this felt like being a kid playing with Legos. It’s what I’ve done my entire life, just in different forms. I’m genuinely happy with what we’ve created and creatively fulfilled by the process.

**Je suis un artiste français travaillant actuellement sur un EP de 6 titres**, avec une direction très cinématographique quelque part entre **Pop/R&B alternatif**, inspiré par **The Weeknd (*****After Hours*****,** ***My Dear Melancholy,*****) et Frank Ocean**.
Je recherche principalement des productions avec une **atmosphère froide, sombre et mélancolique**, des synthétiseurs/pads atmosphériques, des basses profondes et un fort sentiment cinématographique. Je veux que le projet ressemble à **une histoire**, avec une identité cohérente tout en permettant à chaque morceau d'avoir sa propre atmosphère.
**Je tiens à préciser que je ne cherche pas simplement à acheter des beats.** Je cherche principalement à **rencontrer des producteurs et beatmakers passionnés qui veulent créer quelque chose ensemble**, échanger des idées, expérimenter et construire un véritable univers musical.
**Tout travail que j'utiliserai sera bien sûr rémunéré**, mais si ton premier message ne consiste qu'à demander mon budget, alors je ne pense pas que nous cherchons la même chose. **Pour moi, la connexion créative et la musique passent d'abord.**
Si cette direction te parle vraiment, n'hésite pas à **m'envoyer ton travail ou tes productions**. Je suis également ouvert à collaborer directement sur certaines productions, surtout si tu as une boucle ou une idée que nous pourrions développer ensemble.
Je suis **très passionné par la musique et le processus créatif**, et je cherche des personnes qui le sont tout autant.
**Avant tout, je cherche à construire un réseau de producteurs et beatmakers passionnés avec qui je peux travailler à long terme**, pas simplement trouver un beat à acheter pour une chanson.

its in the new song "first day out" by superstar pride, it's in WYD2 by diamond*

that wobbly sound– and no hate can i replicate that in garageband iOS? if not where can I get it for fl studio

(sorry I'm not really educated on terms)

Hey everyone! I recently released my first drum kit, all sounds were designed in serum. My aim was to make weirder/ more out of the ordinary sounds but still make them usable for most genres. It's free for 2 more weeks! If you're so inclined, would love any feedback. Enjoy!

Any plugins like shaperbox that I can use on GarageBand.Soundkits and plugins for pink noise type beats

im a noob producer and i’m trying to recreate Thoom’s “December Forever.” Does anyone know very specifically what type of synth she uses for the lead or could provide me with a description of its sound? I’ve been trying to recreate it for a while but I’m not too good at sound engineering

If you do hit me up @prodbyove on ig

Hey everyone, I’m the developer behind Sfoor Labs. I’ve been working on a small line of focused audio effects instead of making another giant plugin with 200 pages and too many controls.

The current lineup covers vocals, drums, delay, tape color, saturation, clarity and creative movement. It includes SL Air, Dirt, Echo, FLUX, Knock, Tape, Tune and VYCE.

Two bundles are on launch pricing right now:

SL Effects Collection: Air, Echo, Tape, Knock and Dirt for $29. The combined regular value is $110.

SL Complete Plugin Suite: all eight finished plugins for $79. The combined regular value is $250.

They are native Apple Silicon VST3 plugins for macOS. Supported iPhone and iPad versions are also available as AUv3 apps.

I tried to keep every plugin fast and direct, so you can actually make a decision in a few seconds instead of stopping the session to manage a complicated interface.

If you want to see the interfaces and full details, they are here:

I’d genuinely like to know which one feels most useful to your workflow, and what you would want improved next.

I’ve got 2 complete male vocal packs that I'm giving away completely free if anyone wants something new to work with. 🙌
Both are:

🎤 100% human written & sung
🎵 Full-length vocals
📦 Full vocal stems
✅ Royalty-free for use in your productions

I'm a vocalist/topliner primarily working in EDM and electronic music, so these are proper toplines rather than just a handful of vocal chops/one-shots.

If you want both, you can grab them here:

https://vocalhut.com

Just enter your email and you'll get access to the two free vocals.

If anyone ends up making something with one of them, I'd genuinely love to hear what you do with it. 🎧

I’m a singer/producer and i’m trying to mix my vocals on my new song and with headphones my vocals sound perfect but i listened in the car and it sounds like there is wayyyy too much low end. however if i add more high pass it’s gonna sound like im singing through a phone so

can someone help tell me how to find the perfect balance

Just finished a custom vocal job for a client and looked back at the Logic session thinking... that's a LOT of vocals 😆

This particular topline ended up with:

🎤 1 main vocal
🎤 6 ad-lib tracks
🎤 4 double tracks
🎤 7 harmony tracks
🎤 8 ooh/ahh tracks for a layered chant effect

Everything gets properly organised and delivered wet + dry, along with the lyrics and piano MIDI. For vocals I've produced instrumentals for, I can provide the full instrumental stems too.

I've put one of my finished vocals over the video so you can hear the sort of end result all those layers contribute towards. Sound on 🔊

I always find it interesting how something that sounds relatively effortless in the finished record can have a ridiculous number of individual recordings sitting underneath it.

Any other vocalists/producers here end up with sessions like this? 😂

See title

It’s simple, I’ve just been out of the game for a while and I’ve been getting back into making my own projects again but I’d like something else to fill up my time and, besides the fun of playing with music, want to be able to just connect with the musicians again at the ground level and have fun with it all again!

Let me know if anyone needs a polishing sheen to their music and I’d love to help you make it pop

I don’t need credits or kudos, let me just have fun with finishing off your final product for release and get my practice in again

Here’s my profile if you want my work: https://on.soundcloud.com/6bEawtaKCTqQKtXDfv

12 Loops, BPM Included

Hey, so I’ve recently started writing and recording my own songs, but I have basically zero experience when it comes to the production/mixing side of things.

I was wondering if there’s anyone here who’d be willing to help me out. I could send over the vocals and the beat, and I’d just love to have someone with more experience make it sound as good as possible.

I’m still pretty new to all of this, so I’d really appreciate any help. Feel free to DM me if you’re interested 🙏
