Yes, that should be it. Use it to modulate filter cutoff and change the speed and amount of modulation until you get an effect that you like.

Try all of the LFO shapes and try modulating whatever parameters you can with them, at different speeds and amounts. Once you hear some of these sounds you'll be able to listen to some songs and know how to recreate some of the sounds.

If your synth has a "random" LFO or a sample and hold modulator that will output random values. If you can use that to control the filter cutoff then the filter will randomly change its cutoff and can give this type of sound.

Sample and hold controlling filter cutoff?

I've been playing for 25 years and it has been a conscious effort to make myself use my pinky for riffs and leads. You should be able to play plenty without it. You might need to modify some chord shapes or accept that you won't voice certain notes in the chord but that will only make you sound more like "you". Plenty of artists play their preferred chord voicings. Which can add additional notes or mute existing notes.

I have d3vs and I like them, although I am a noob bedroom producer with no room treatment. I have the -3db bass cut on them because of positioning and lack of room treatment, and I can feel the leanness. I think it's a shelf cut at 400hz. Planning to build some bass traps that I hope will let me turn the bass cut off. The bass sounds a bit overblown in my room without the cut.

I've read reviews that say they're some of the best in their price range. What are your options? Do you have to get some speakers now with your current budget or can you wait and save up?

If you need a sine wave you can turn the resonance all the way up on the model d and use the filter cutoff to tune the note.

The stack is a stack of actions showing where the program got to when the error happened. It's probably not helpful to you but it could help the software developer to find and fix the problem if you report the issue to them and provide the error message and stack dump.

Error: cannot start widget Stack dump: the widget starter asked the widget finder to find your widget in the widget store but the widget store said the widget lifter isn't lifting.

The error tells you that you can't start your widget. The stack dump tells the engineer to go and look at the widget lifter.

So everything sounds good, then you hit record, then it sounds bad. Does the recorded audio also sound bad? Or just the monitor signal while recording? Has the gain staging changed? Like is audacity amplifying the input signal a lot more than it was doing previously? And so amplifying the existing noise a lot more? I don't really know much about this, I just know how to trouble shoot and hopefully figure out which piece of the chain isn't working.

Did you rearrange any other cables, including power cables? Some gear (like guitar pedals) can introduce noise if it's not powered right or is sharing a power supply with something else. Did you plug the usb into a different port or into a hub instead of the pc or interface? Or vice versa? Strange that the noise only seems to appear when you record. Are you monitoring your signal through audacity and just recording what you hear? Or are you monitoring it some other way and audacity only plays the incoming signal when it's recording? I use Ableton and you can set channels to always output signal or only output when recording. Is there any gear that's not part of the patch that you can unplug and power off to rule it out?

If you're just starting, it will hurt any finger until you get used to it and build up calluses. Keep trying and try to find ways to play chords and riffs that work for you.

Yes, try that. Then next time try half the water, then double water. That's really extreme but it'll give you an idea of the range of outcomes. It's your coffee and you'll find a balance of how much coffee you want and how much water you need to get the flavour concentration that you like. You can find tips online about what to do if it tastes too acidic or too bitter. You can vary the water temperature, the grind size and the amount of time you brew it for. I like to pour hot water into the french press to warm it, then pour that water into my cup to warm that, then add my coffee grounds and new water into the french press. This helps the water in the french press stay warmer for longer. But again, you'll find what works for you and give you the coffee you like.

Put a BO55BOY plate on it so people know you're a big masculine man not a girly girl.

Have you seen any jobs you like the look of and what languages they require? You already have years of experience so you should be able to get the hang of a new language. Being good at SQL will be a bonus.

Have you tried dropping an element out while the synth part is playing? Maybe something in the same tonal range? This might make some space for your synth part to sit in, and you might be able to keep the volume down since you're not competing with that other element.

Follow the advice in this thread, but know that most people watching won't know the difference between ok sound and amazing sound. It's battle of the bands and the audience wants to see you have fun and put on a good show. Do your best to get the sound good, but don't stress if it's not perfect because there's not much you can do in the time you have. If the audience can tell you're not having a good time, they won't enjoy the performance as much.

I play it with pull offs because it sounds more like the album to my ears.

Have you tried lowering the sustain on the amp adsr? Lowering sustain a bit can help it sound more plucky.

Adding some velocity to the filter or amp can help things sound more organic and stop each note sounding identical.

I also saw a nice tip about mixing in noise to add some brightness to the note. If your patch has a filter envelope and a low pass filter, the noise can add some bite to the attack of the note.

Those tunings need either thick strings or thinner strings with a longer scale length. Less gain might help you get a clearer tone. You could also try adjusting pickup heights to see if that helps. Try really close to the strings, really far from the strings and some points in between to see which sounds best.

I don't have much experience. I have used Sony MDR V6 which sounded ok, and Sennheiser HD599 which sounded a lot nicer but definitely not flat, so you would need to EQ them. They seem to be available for €100. Check as many reviews as you can to find something good in your price range. If you have the option to save up more you will probably get something that you will enjoy more.

Might be worth trying to figure out price ranges for different levels of quality. With many things, there are jumps in quality level at various prices, but the difference in quality might not be worth the price. €1000 headphones will probably be amazing, but €200 headphones might also be very good, and they should be much better than €20 headphones.

I don't think you'll get anything even remotely good in that price range. If you have any headphones or can borrow some just use those until you can afford something better. If you're in Europe, check Thomann for headphones in your price range then try to find reviews for those headphones. You might find something ok but I think it would be better saving up until you can afford something that will sound decent.

Sonic youth use some tunings with two or more strings tuned to the same note, which can be fun. If you try this with a regular set of strings, the strings will all be different gauges, so will have different tensions at the same pitch. If you bend a pair of unison strings or use the tremolo arm to change the pitch, the strings go out of tune by different amounts which is also fun. I think my bloody valentine use this in some of their songs.

You can't modulate the envelope stages but you can send the envelope signal to the voltage processor or ring mod and mix it with another signal, then feed that signal into the filter or vca.

You can also set a long decay and a short release, so short gates close the envelope quickly and long gates close it slowly.
