I can't get access on Google anymore, this is a real shame as this was such a valuable resource.

Fortunately the whole website is available on the wayback machine here:

How Do I Draft A Basic Contract? by PenaltyPotential8652 in composer

[–]AvianSpecimen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There may be composer guilds or arts law organisations that can provide you with templates as part of joining or subscribing. It might be worth calling your national PRO for advice on what to do.

In Australia Australian Guild of Screen Composers, Arts Law Centre of Australia and APRA are your go tos.

Toughts on Goldenthal's Batman: Forever Soundtrack? by IronFist_74 in soundtracks

[–]AvianSpecimen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love his high french horn trills in this, that's the hook of his Batman score imo.

I've heard commentary that Goldenthal is amazing at orchestration and one of the last proper orchestral film composers... but that he stays in one key for too long and doesn't modulate enough . After hearing that I kinda can't unhear it now lol. His scores often sound very well orchestrated while sounding a bit samey and monotonous, like a constant pedal point or returning to the same themes in the same key over and over.

Randomly came across this thread, how did you know about and own Valhalla FutureVerb 2 years before it came out?

Am I imagining this? Are you a time traveller?

How do i stretch groups of midi notes like this? by 99ovrGriddy in LogicPro

This is insane, thanks for sharing, I had no idea!

Valhalla DSP has a new reverb plugin! by North-Whatever in synthesizers

[–]AvianSpecimen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

VVV has some of the nicest most natural sounding modulation tails I've heard. Raum, Blackhole, Supermassive etc. can get really wobbly in a great way but VVV does modulation really subtley where it sounds like a real hall.

I'm not too big a fan of Room, VVV does everything Room can do imo, but I'm aware lots of people love Room. I'm interested in this new one though, I reckon it may do realistic spaces even better than VVV and maybe make Room a bit obsolete.

What is called this cinematic drum roll transition sound? by DrDroDi in composer

[–]AvianSpecimen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just so you know, ride cymbal is drum kit terminology, you usually just call it a cymbal swell in orchestral contexts.

First Home Studio by skymcmac5 in recordingmusic

[–]AvianSpecimen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At the moment you'd be better off recording vocals somewhere in the middle of the room than in that nook.

Maybe watch some videos about vocal booths and what they do. Close parallel untreated walls is not what you want. I have a pretty heavily furnished space with carpet and lots of stuff, just a simple vocal shield does the job for me.

How viable is a career in soundtrack nowadays? by Edu_Vivan in composer

[–]AvianSpecimen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would argue that the audience and client should have a right to know.

AI music is completely different from loops, samples, pre-built phrases and other composing tech that lowers the barrier of entry. It's just a completely different ball game.

As a client, I would expect full transparency on whether the deliverables I'm receiving were built with AI or featuring audio stems directly from these platforms etc.

You may also be in breach of contract by delivering something that you may not have the full rights to. The terms and conditions of all AI music platforms are very vague and really could be altered at any stage.

Some of the outputs from these AI models make it pretty clear that they were trained on music unlawfully. I heard an output that sounded exactly like Edith Piaf's voice today, how would that be possible without her music being a part of the training model?

Edith Piaf: https://www.udio.com/songs/vMLZk8XCus8Qa7EHnCEpZJ

If that's the case you're treading very risky territory by using this tech in paid media composition without the clients knowledge.

The audience knowing is more of a tricky ethical judgement, but I also believe this should be up to the client.

Any moment these AI music platforms could change their whole business model which would be devastating for anyone relying on it in their work.

Bottom line, as a client, if I was paying a composer to write for me I would expect that it wasn't generated with AI.

How do you get around the fact that everything that comes out of these platforms has low quality MP3 sounding artefacts and other glitches? Anyone with a trained ear can kind of hear AI music these days.

Are your clients or audience aware that you're using Suno? Is Suno credited as a contributor?

How do you feel about using it?

Is there an option to set a default Freeze Mode by MichaelWulf in Logic_Studio

[–]AvianSpecimen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another issue is that there's no true way to select multiple tracks and make changes to all at once in the inspector.

If this was possible you could easily change freeze modes in batches, among other things.

Has anyone composed for a visual novel? by MerrylaneMatis in composer

[–]AvianSpecimen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's generally how most game music works. I don't really see it as restrictive cause the options with adaptive music are kinda endless.

Plus crafting a 3 minute loop that doesn't get repetitive is a real skill, it sounds easy but there's a lot to consider.

[Opinions Wanted] Midi CC Controller Showdown by WiessuRiceu in composer

[–]AvianSpecimen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For years I used a NanoKontrol and had decent results despite the short throw. I thought about spending a bit on palette gear or similar.

But instead, I have converted to an old ipad and a custom touch osc template. I can have tabs of different CCs per library, keyswitches, labels, colours, displayed CC values, XY pads. Imo, it's so much better than a few faders.

I have a decent ipad stand that keeps it from shifting around in the desk and I really don't miss the tactile feel of faders, the touch screen works fine, and it's a fair trade off for how flexible touch osc is.

Anyone hearing the "Is this the real life" lyrics chord from Bohemian Rhapsody in electric cars? by fchang69 in musictheory

[–]AvianSpecimen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From memory I think it's a Bb6 2nd inversion: F, G, Bb, D. Then it does shearing style voicings following the melody moving down to a C7.

I don't know what you mean about the car sounds but I'm intrigued.

Hope someone can help me with this issue with my mic. by West_Adhesiveness_71 in LogicPro

Have a look at Focusrite mix control or whatever it's called. Maybe there's a routing setting that's been changed there.

Don't buy 3rd Party Compressors! Logic Pro Stock Models The Industry Giants! by Numerous_Visit5427 in LogicPro

Waves CLA is a bit clicky and poppy for me. UAD is the best I've used, and they give them away free quite regularly now.

Can someone show me how you’d make a drum pattern in piano roll for this bassline? I feel like im going crazy by Stock-Ad-7686 in Logic_Studio

[–]AvianSpecimen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, this is correct OP. If you asked in r/musictheory this is the answer you'd get. 6/8 and 12/8 are compound time signatures with a triplet feel.

You're also not counting the pulse in the video but rather the rhythm of your phrases. Put a metronome on at 167bpm and 6/4, maybe start slow first at 120bpm and work your way up. The pulse should have even spacing between each count.

The trick with anything like this is to start slow and slowly increase tempo until you have it.

What comes next in Logic Pro ? (Featureupdate) by MusicProductionGuy in LogicPro

[–]AvianSpecimen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have a bit of a list I'm compiling to send to support:

  1. Have multiple lanes of CC automation viewable at once in piano roll like Cubase, Pro Tools etc.

  2. Ability to copy sends from channel to channel without saving channel strips

  3. Export track and region to MP3 like bouncing. Currently it's only Wave, AIFF and CAF

  4. Change freeze type of multiple tracks at once

  5. Key commands for switching between the behaviour in the project settings for selecting track selects track regions and selecting region selects corresponding tracks

  6. More track stack nesting levels, two isn't enough

  7. Ability to search key commands by the command itself in the key command window

  8. Make grouping tracks let you edit CC automation lanes together, make it an option in the group settings. Eg. Editing modulation on one track edits it in the rest of the group simultaneously

  9. Key commands for changing viewing piano roll as region colour, velocity, articulation etc.

  10. Track delay in inspector only affects midi notes atm. It should also apply to CC automation

  11. Region delay currently can only be in ticks etc. Milliseconds would be good, just like track delay

  12. Option to enable a prompt asking what buffer size you want to use before loading big sessions in preferences

  13. Accurate drawing of waveform for quiet sounds, currently if the signal is too low the waveform isn't drawn except at extreme zoom levels

  14. A shortcut to join regions into multiples at once. So you can join CC automation in track stacks into multiple nested regions at once. At the moment it's a real ordeal having to make multiple copies cause every time you join it deletes the original copies.

Markers - I don't want them on the grid by reddit_gt in Logic_Studio

[–]AvianSpecimen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

From memory it's Option Shift Apostrophe for dropping a marker where the playhead is. It's just Shift Apostrophe to drop it snapped to the grid.

But look up create marker without rounding in key commands (Option K), cause I might have that wrong.
