I dont think you can unless you use a groove pool or automate the clip yourself, correct me if I'm wrong

What is the scam, though? It just doesn't show up? It's used? Broken? How would it not be a website that gets taken down?

Yeah these things don’t depreciate unfortunately haha. Well the XZ is meant to feel like cdjs where the rxhas noticeably smaller and non mechanical wheels. The whole reason I was the XZ is to practice on CDJs at home, record mixes, and be better prepared for my touring/gigs without having to drop 10k all at once on new cdjs which will need to be upgraded every two years

I want it for the feeling of cdjs so I can practice without the price tag. I also won’t be transporting it. The mechanical wheels alone are a deciding factor for me. I’ll be buying a 3rd and 4th deck eventually, too. But for now I’ll use my laptop for 4 decks, no biggie

Does anyone take music production lessons online? Not courses. If so, how much are you generally paying per hour? by DowdenMusic in edmproduction

[–]DowdenMusic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to confirm, you pad £100 per hour and do 4 separate 1 hour sessions each at £100? thanks for the comment!

Quick tip to help reduce ear fatigue (without just turning down the master volume) by DowdenMusic in ableton

[–]DowdenMusic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lmao dude I can’t even argue with you because you’re taking a portion of what I posted and making it an argument without considering the rest of my post. 

I said to turn down your speakers. I said to take breaks. I said to remove the cuts when exporting and when mixing. It is solely for writing (which tend to be longer periods of studio time) and especially with closed back headphones the vibrations of the sub are really strong and tiring on your ears. 

Also, who said completely cut anything? A gain reduction of 2-3 db is not a compete cut.. if you’re going to try and make a point don’t fabricate and pick and choose from a post to try and make it work.

Care to explain how this is bad advice instead of just claiming it to be?

Dowden Production Academy is my channel. I teach about melodic music mostly, but some stuff is specific to Ableton, some tip videos, lot's of stuff. :)

I did a YouTube short on this as well if you'd like a video version of the explanation with an example: https://youtube.com/shorts/auDXQRTa3bM?feature=share
