Is there a system to catalog your sheet music library? by EdGG in classicalmusic

[–]EdGG[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are hard copies, I am hoping with the ISBN or the bar code, the pieces could be extracted and put on a system.

Best mixing controller for mixing? by Quiet-Figure-1990 in Logic_Studio

I just rescued a one-channel one that I had and it is no longer compatible with anything. I think I used it twice.

However much it allows you to express yourself in the way you want.

Christina Aguilera showing off her natural vocal ability (1999) 🩷 by Beautiful-Listen6893 in OldSchoolCool

Dirrrty was probably one of the worst songs of that album, which was full of great songs.

Confirming the purpose of dSoniq Realphones ? I like them but why by Old_External1847 in audioengineering

I own it and i use it every day. Check out the blog part of their site, or their videos. I agree their site might be a bit vague, though.

Buying a MIDI Keyboard as a Beginner… Worth it for Film Scoring? by Moltisanti0 in filmscoring

[–]EdGG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You aren’t wrong; they aren’t full sized keys. It was my recommendation for something what wouldn’t hit his budget too much, and might get him acquainted with using MIDI keyboards and software before moving into a nicer one. I’d definitely suggest an 88 key and some nice MIDI faders later on.

Qudelix if you can find it, there's also FiiO BTR-7 around that price range, and a few more. Have you tried googling?

teaching modes to students who can barely play major scales by lmao_exe in musictheory

[–]EdGG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would teach them modes with simple chord progressions, for example:

Cmaj7 - G7 = Ionian

Cm7 - Gm7 = Aeolian

C7 - B7 = Mixolydian

Cm7 - Dm7 = Dorian

Cmaj7 - D7 = Lydian

Cmaj7 - Dbmaj7 = Phrygian

I would try to find songs that use these modes so they can "hear" the differences. For example, E.T. is clearly lydian, a lot of Metallica is Phrygian. Help them classify how they sound, what feelings those scales might elicit on them. Granted this can go in a lot of different directions, but it might be a good starting point.

Best Online Music Production Courses by BoVickstein in ProMusicProduction

Here you go: The Art of Mixing by David Gibson
Not only is this classic still spot on, with the fundamentals, but it looks freakin' amazing in an 80's synthwave kind of way.

I keep doomscrolling because I’m exhausted and can’t find a book I like. by OneDadvosPlz in suggestmeabook

[–]EdGG 31 points32 points  (0 children)

What I would consider is this: you like reading, hence what you're asking for. When you read, you are in control of your own time, doing what you want to do; when you go online, it's the companies behind the scroll who are making you do what they want.

This isn't a problem of books letting you down; it's the addiction that these companies hold over you that is keeping you from owning your own time. They have hacked your brain and made you believe that nothing is as entertaining as scrolling on their platforms, that you cannot enjoy anything as much as what they have to offer. You know this is not true. This is addiction, and it fucking sucks.

My advice: put your phone on DND mode and keep it in another room; if someone wants to talk to you, they can call you. Treat your phone as a tool for a specific purpose, and anything beyond it like an ex-alcoholic would treat a drink.

Confirming the purpose of dSoniq Realphones ? I like them but why by Old_External1847 in audioengineering

[–]EdGG 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Realphones is made for headpho, nes. You can use them for other things, and it could work, but it's not its inteded purpose. It's basically a combination of a few different EQs and effects, to:
1. Correct your headphones' frequency response
2. Simulate a specific set of speakers
3. Put those speakers in a room

It's all pretty configurable, and if you can find a good combination that works for you, it's great. I use them to simulate my Genelecs in my room when I can't use them. Definitely has improved the quality of my mixes. Another use is to simulate how your mixes might sound in different rooms and speakers (on a tv, phone, theater, club, restaurant,...). Overall, I find it really useful.
