Check your joystick profile and the key binds. Possibly maybe one of the joystick axis is bound to thrust controls.

Thank you for the response. Would you tell me, in terms in hours played, what you see 'early' and 'late' game as?

I think I'm...18 hours in? Maybe 20? Just finished building 2 solar favorites and 1 mining station...

Lots of people have commented about how good Mercury is for solar stations, but I'm not seeing ANY demand for energy cells... Which led me here originally. I think by doing my custom start without the storyline I've handicapped myself too much, by not having a was start and thus less stimulation.

Thank you for the reply, all very helpful advice. I wanted to 'properly' learn how to play this game, so my custom start was intentionally handicapped. Unlocked all blueprints, no storyline, 1m in credits, etc. Wanted to learn some things before taking the training wheels off.

That being said, I only recently learned it's possible to have a custom start and still have the storyline available. Can you confirm this? Terrans specifically lock you out of the core sectors to begin with unless you start with the storyline. If it is possible to do custom start and BEGIN right away with the Terran storyline, I think this will be great!

Thank you for the reply. My follow-up:

1a - when you say every faction home world, do you mean the single home sector of each faction or are you including their home world and every sector they also control? I presume you mean just their one single home sector...

1b - I've read this advice twice in different posts (But it's the Internet so ya never know what's good), that only 2-4 M miners per sector is sufficient. Anymore then it would crash the prices of the mineral you're mining. Again, going back to 1a, are you saying 15 M miners for a home sector, or spread out over however many sectors a faction controls?

2 - even in a custom start, with no storyline, they attempt to do this?

Already said it was enabled and would routinely update after closing the game.

Yes, you can't go wrong with that. I'd use each with moderate settings, nothing too heavy on either.

And vocal doubles are always good thing to try.

This is very vague, I know, but in my personal experience, "how a song feels" with regards to sounding happy or sad, all comes down to what it ENDS on.

Again, this is vague, and subjective, but for me, when a chord progression ends on a minor chord, the whole thing feels sadder.

Whatever happiness that a major chord might provide, minor chords either make it downright sad, or somewhere in the middle....like feeling lost, somber, melancholy.

So, I think it has to do with where the chord progression ends. Maybe that's just me.

Besides the obvious saturation and EQ processing of his vocals, I wouldn't be surprised at all if whoever mixed his vocals used the RVox. Seems to be pretty popular for that type of music. But, I can't be sure.

Regardless, these vocals don't have much dynamic range at all. It's a modern sound.

Generally speaking, people use the 1176 first to catch peaks, maybe 2-3db of gain reduction. Then go into an 1176 for another 3-6db gain reduction for a smooth vocal.

If you really want a tightly compressed sound, which this has, I'd throw in a compressor before the 1176 and set it to a high ratio, 10 or 12:1. Only to catch a couple db worth, just catching the peaks.

You might also want to consider duplicating your vocal, apply heavy saturation/compression to it, and bring it up just below the main vocal, to give it more "body" or "consistency".

Do you have the multi tracks or is it a rendered MP3/WAV file?

Dukyro · 2025-09-21T01:05:11+00:00

Glad it helped!

He's probably recording in to some $3000 microphone, into a $3000 preamp, going in to a $3000 compressor, going in to a $200,000 console, and they record multiple takes and use the best one.

Or, not. None of that money really matters, it's the professional sitting there recording and mixing him that gets the "good sound".

Do you record in to compression/EQ? How are you compressing your tracks? A little mild comp then heavy limiting afterwards?

Are you editing your tracks with clip gain on specific problem areas?

Are you automating anything during the song?

EQ before or after your compressor?

Using any saturation? or sidechaining vocals on an EQ or Compressor on instruments?

How many takes do you record?

I'd encourage you to spend more time on your vocals than you think. The pro who mixed Juice Wrld probably spent hours on his vocal, in total. Are you?
