EXTREMELY HELPFUL WEBSITES
Added 2023-03-20 22:27:03 +0000 UTCHere are some of the online resources I've put to work on my own music and promotions. Some are free, some are paid. Might be updating this list as I go
MUSIC STUFF
LALAL.AI ($15-$30 Time Packages) - Vocal and Instrument Remover: A lot of you are already on this, this is how I've created the acapellas for a LOT of my songs.
- Something to note is that it doesn't always work. One of the many tricks I try to force it to work is with Izotope Ozone Master Rebalance. If the website is having a hard time pulling out the drums, I'll lower the drums. Sometimes I'll even just boost the vocal no matter what.
YARN (FREE) - Search Clips By Quote: Basically search the words you're looking for and it will find clips from movies, TV, etc that say the words. Obv be weary of Copyright.
Samplette.io (FREE) - Find Random Things To Sample: L3XX and I found an awesome sample for one of our collabs on here. Great for starting songs. Just shuffle through whatever they give you and ponder how you could use pieces of the audio!
Text-To-Speech (Free) - Convert Text-To-Speech w/Different Voices: It's a little bit primative, but it doesn't make it any less useful. If you go back and listen to my old track "Madness", all of the vocals in that song were generated with this website. Just needs some mixing. There are some instructions on the bottom to change the pitch and speed of the voice through the website!
Promotion Stuff
Canva (Free + Paid Pro) - Graphic Design Online: I highly suggest if you're going to subscribe to any service for your promotions, you use Canva. I've used Canva literally since it launched YEARS ago before there was even a paid version, and I knew it was going to take off. The people who run Canva actually have modern creators in mind when designing their UI and updating their database of resources/effects. Canva makes me feel like a pro graphic designer. Maybe I'll do a tutorial for it.
Photomosh (Free + Paid HQ) - Video FX: I've also used this since its conception and it has grown into an entire superpower. I made the one time purchase of I believe $50, and I'm never looking back. Even with all of the powerful things in Final Cut Pro, I will always be using this for random video effects. You can auto-sync effects with Audio, which you can't do in most video editing software. Very powerful tool.
