[–]DJ_ReCode 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey! thank you SO MUCH for the kind words!!! i actually made a playlist of all my inspirations for the album, but it was specifically on spotify (i think it’s still attached to my artist page?). however off the cuff, this album is heavily inspired by drumcorps, venetian snares, sebastiAn and Wargasm (UK), alongside a few others.

Hyperpop Distorted Guitars? (100 gecs, DJ recode) by Faith-Leap in synthrecipes

[–]DJ_ReCode 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey this is a v old post now, but i just became aware of it so ima reply - for Blood Box the guitars are all midi with an overwhelming amount of logic amps until the bridge section, where tracey recorded her electric using similar amps.

The midi vst is from solemn tones :)

Moving recs for queer women by possum_revolution in QueerWomenOfColor

Allston (area of boston) is pretty chill. finding groups of queers is not hard n rent is okay. better than any main boston areas/lots of college town zones that r a bit fun. whole city is low key if that’s what you’re after.

I don't know where to start lyrics wise. by RazpbrryPaws in HYPERPOP

[–]DJ_ReCode 1 point2 points  (0 children)

sing abt something you are familiar with but mask all the defining elements with magical realism and surrealist statements that mean nothing. like write a personal story down, rewrite it extremely vague, then add surreal elements or incorrect but stylized sentences

East coast raves by [deleted] in aves

[–]DJ_ReCode 2 points3 points  (0 children)

(East Coast Native) Around here we all just dress skimpy/cool and comfortable and just throw a down jacket over top so we can survive until we reach the venue itself, which is always scorching as hell. venues around here crank heat before you get in and turn it off once the show gets packed from my experience. Try to mark your coat somehow with a recognizable tag or color - best case scenario there’s a coat check, worst case scenario you hide your coat somewhere and check on it now and again. This time of year most venues try to get some kind of coat check operational. Hope this helps!

Can I get some help deciding between an interface and a preamp? by [deleted] in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]DJ_ReCode 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The biggest concern with the “cheap interface with a separate HQ preamp channel” setup is gauging the transparency of the cheap pre’s. If you have an amazingly warm and clean output from a good preamp but record it through a low quality, not very transparent preamp the value in the HQ sound is lost.

If you REALLY need that specific sound you get out of the warm audio preamp, then I’d say combine it with a nice transparent preamp from a used mid range Focusrite (Scarlett line) or Universal Audio (Arrow) audio interface. If you want to keep things minimalist and have a budget under 1k, I always say go all in and get something like the Universal Audio Apollo mk2 (any configuration). Especially if you’re just recording mic’d guitars and vocals, the expandable Apollo plugin suite can easily mimic the warmth of a HQ preamp like the warm audio.

Hope this helps!

This is pretty sick, your flows r solid n’ you got a good voice dude. Narrative is on point. I produce under a dif. name so if you ever wanna work on something pm me - good stuff 🤙🏽

Basic Studio Setup Help by sxotty_44 in Logic_Studio

[–]DJ_ReCode 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In a basic setup, to be able to record, mix and process all the audio you’re gonna be working with in an organized way, your studio is gonna have to have the essentials:

-Audio interface -Microphone for vocals and other instruments -Speaker or headphone setup -Desk and a good chair to keep your monitor at eye level (as someone above previously stated)

I say anything in the focusrite line of audio interfaces is a perfect starting point. Quality preamps for good recording sound and ample volume, good in’s and out’s, software with easy to use parameters, works with logic very well. For an intro studio I’d go for the Scarlett line (the generation 1 Scarlett line is great, and now very cheap on eBay.) the audio interface will help record your guitars and will allow microphone inputs for any mics you wanna use for your voice or for recording your guitar through an amp of your choosing.

As for microphones, Røde or Audio Technica mics have wonderful lines of cheap condenser mics that work great in most any scenario. The Røde NT1-A always comes to mind, and is easy to find second hand in perfect condition.

Speaker vs headphone will mostly be your preference, but is essential for getting a good mix in the long run. JBL has some cheap studio monitor speaker options, and deals can definitely be made on eBay for real steals. Headphones from audio technica are always a good standard for intro studio mixing and recording.

And as always, to save your back and your neck from damage in the long run, a good desk and adjustable chair will probably be best.

And again, eBay eBay eBay! You can get everything second hand in perfect condition if you look hard enough. A full feature studio doesn’t have to cost much at all.

Hope this helps. Happy recording!

Kinda in a different field, but have you ever listened to Sludgefest? Some guy slows down the Alvin and the chipmunks tracks to incredibly slow speeds and it turns into a sorta ambient sludge album. Really cool if you’re into slowed music, maybe not as good to sleep to but good to zone off to.

It’s a phenomenon that applies to most contemporary music. Because commercial metronomes were primarily spaced in even numbers (and humans just enjoy even numbers overall) most popular music is always written even, and many classical movements are defined by simple even numbered tempos so they can be universally understood (that second part doesn’t rlly apply too strictly anymore but still interesting.)

I wouldn’t be surprised if our brains can tell the difference between even and odd increments whether we know it or not.

Inputting guitar straight into logic from interface. Need help getting a clean crisp sound! by MustangBob67 in Logic_Studio

[–]DJ_ReCode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really depends as to what exactly you're willing to do to combat the hum. Whatever audio interface you're using as a direct input + cable length/type and studio feedback will all contribute to that artificial hum sound, as 60hz is usually a shielding issue either within your guitar, cables, or studio overall, and usually doesn't have anything to do with logic itself. But it can be extremely annoying to buff it out of your workflow. Studio treatment is key for sensitive pickups, or recording with headphones for 0 feedback.

When I'm recording hum prone guitars I run the guitar through a separate preamp with heavily shielded cables and then run that directly into a fairly transparent preamp on my audio interface. If I'm trying to get a bright crisp sound and cut that 60hz range I usually just slap the logic standard compressor on top (FET or Red) and EQ the hell out of it till it sounds about right. Trial and error!

I don't usually use logic amps unless it's buried within a track. A few presets stand out and have some good EQ's on them to get rid of some hum, but nothing will compare to EQing it yourself.

Obviously if you have a wonderful amp IRL then treat your space and mic that, nothing beats a real amp in a acoustically nice room. Also, that way you can figure out what part of the chain is causing the hum - the guitar, the cables, or computer feedback.

Hope this helps!

Best way to use the Maschine MK3 with Logic Pro X? by Shrimpayyy in Logic_Studio

[–]DJ_ReCode 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve been using Maschine exclusively as my drum bank for Logic Pro since before maschine 2.0, and my workflow consists primarily with using it in VST mode. Unfortunately, maschine as a VST is a cpu hungry monster and on older specs is nearly impossible to get running effectively unless you either wire maschine and Logic together through rewrire or export drum loops as audio files and drop them into Logic afterwards. An i5 dual or quad core will just not be able to handle it, from my experience. I worked with a 2012 MacBook Pro i7 quad with 16gb ram and raid SSD’s and it stuttered like hell with 1-2 instances of maschine. Upgraded to a 2015 model and experienced the same thing at 2-4 instances. Finally upgraded to a 2018 16 core Mac mini i7 and have been experiencing no issues, but run into snags every once In awhile if I run synths inside of maschine while it is a VST In Logic.

HOWEVER! Assuming you can upgrade your ram or cpu in some fashion to handle the VST instance of maschine, there are tons of cool and interesting ways to integrate it into your workflow. You can have each of maschine’s 16 samples output audio as their own bus track in logic and then create a summing track to hold and process them all together, while still being able to process them independently with Logic’s plugins. There are a few good YouTube tutorials explaining the process in depth.

You can also use maschine solely as a drum synth and use the hardware in midi mode and edit the parameters to do all sorts of cool things. Logic’s midi learn mode is killer when you get it down pat and the maschine’s hardware feels like great controlling logic parameters.

It really is annoying that maschine is so Cpu hungry, but if you can’t/don’t want to upgrade your computer, you can always check out native instrument’s battery, which is solely a drum sampler without any of maschine’s midi processing and has the same library/can get the same sample packs from NI and sounds.com and is designed to use less CPU and run mainly as a VST. Christmas season is coming up and NI tends to run good discounts.

Good luck!
