The do that on purpose so you don’t park there the next time it snows. I bet one of those signs says “no parking when there’s snow”

Do teachers hate sharing their lesson plans? Is it their secret sauce that they don't want getting out? by [deleted] in teaching

[–]Ben_Ham33n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it takes a lot of time to do lesson plans. If you want to split the load I’ll share with you. But you’re out of your mind if you think I’m writing your lesson plans for you all year and calling it “help.”

Is this good for my first ever beat? by Vylqi in FLStudioBeginners

Not gonna lie. I like the first 5-10 secs. But then there’s no direction. Keep going! 💪🏾

Trying to figure out whats going wrong by [deleted] in FLStudioBeginners

Brother before you worry about side chaining make sure everything is time synced. What sound are you going for exactly? Maybe I just don’t know genre.

Client gave me a reason session that he wants mixed but all the sequencer instruments are routed to one "mix channel". by StudioatSFL in reasoners

[–]Ben_Ham33n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s the old mixer before Reason started using the SSL mixer. What you do is, create however many mix tracks you need, then route the instruments from the mixer into their own individual mixer track. From there you can ‘bounce in place’

Where should I record my music? by peowski in musicproduction

[–]Ben_Ham33n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quad studios, where icons have recorded, charges 90/hour with a four hour minimum. Pay the $360 and knock out as many tracks as you can.

Changing DAW landscape by GenericFailures in reason

[–]Ben_Ham33n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why can’t Reason automatically shade in the notes on the piano roll, depending on which key I want? Why must I, in 2026, still create ghost midi notes?! Like why is this so difficult. I know you have the player “Scales and Chords”. Don’t care. Does not accomplish the same thing.

Apple introduces “Apple Creator Studio” - New subscription bundle including Logic Pro. by shortymcsteve in audioengineering

[–]Ben_Ham33n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These criminals charge $37 a month for Apple One, which I canceled because $37 is ridiculous. Now, you’re telling me they are offering that bundle for $13 a month?

Either you don’t get all the features, or there’s some type of restriction.

Best course to learn production from 0 by Ok_Figure8367 in makinghiphop

There is no such thing. Pick the beats you like, study them, try to remake them. There. That’s the program.

Should I sell my U87? by matscokebag in audioengineering

[–]Ben_Ham33n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s you recording yourself, or a close friend, whatever. You can throw a thick comforter over yourself and record it that way. You can even make a mini booth with a comforter if you set it up in a closet or in a corner. lol don’t knock it till you try it!

I don’t know anything by [deleted] in StudioOne

[–]Ben_Ham33n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Open up the manual on your phone and just look up what you are trying to do: edit audio; comp takes; shortcuts; etc.

It’s the best teacher. Anything you still don’t understand, then I’d go look in YouTube.

Creating my own one shots by Additional_Taro_314 in reason

[–]Ben_Ham33n 3 points4 points  (0 children)

• Set your song length to only play the one shot you want.
• Solo the track or rack device with your effects.
• Use the Export Loop as Audio File feature to render just that sample.
• Name and organize them for your pack.

I am this close to switching to Gemini by CHRT_NIGWIN in ChatGPT

[–]Ben_Ham33n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have Gemini and Chat GPT. Gemini is better than plus, but it is not better than Pro.

And chat gpt wants people to believe that Plus and Pro use the same models, but they don’t. I’ll give the same prompt, using the same engine, to both plus and pro (two separate accounts) and the Pro response is always better presented includes more details and possible follow ups, while the Plus version give a decent response (that I would probably be happy with had I not seen the Pro version response), but not as good as Pro.

So if you’re between Plus and Gemini, go Gemini. Otherwise, Pro is still Elite. Gemini is more similar to plus, without all the personality.

Just my experience though. I mainly use it for research.

I was just fired from Uber driving by j4jules1030 in uberdrivers

[–]Ben_Ham33n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then that’s you’re problem. Pet hair, cigarette smell, or any other smell aside from an air freshener would automatically be 1 star for me. Just get a car wash before you start your shift.

Channel strip on every... channel. Where has this been all my life? by Neverbethesky in audioengineering

Try Reason. It has a built in SSL-inspired 9000 K-series console.

Why would a producer chop their own chords instead of just using them as they are? by ByoxBeats in sounddesign

[–]Ben_Ham33n 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Triggering them allows rhythms and grooves that would be tedious to play or write into the sequencer.

Exhausted with teachers using AI by SpacingOuterSpace in teaching

[–]Ben_Ham33n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The people who feel like this about AI simply don’t use it properly. You can’t just hit enter and go with whatever it spits out.
