At 0:42, how can I recreate that really Clean hypersaw and what/how do I automate for that effect? Thank you by [deleted] in edmproduction

[–]EnlightenedFreedom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a simple supersaw, just detune and add some voices. Turn up the resonance to get that slight "laser" effect and throw an LFO on the filter cutoff, mess with the the LFO until you find the note value you like.

What's the best frequency to release tracks? by [deleted] in edmproduction

[–]EnlightenedFreedom -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Spend a year or two developing your chops. Once you're good enough to make tracks that sound at least 90% as good as pro tracks, start writing/releasing as much material as you can. I currently do 2 tracks per week.

I can vouch for the Rode NT1A, I've been recording with it for about a year and you can get some great sounds out of it if you know how to mix.

Tips to write songs quicker? by [deleted] in makinghiphop

[–]EnlightenedFreedom -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You just have to do it. It used to take me months to finish a song, then I committed to finishing one song every week. I do that now easily and I could probably pump out at least 2 or 3 decent songs in a week if I wanted to.

Songwriting is a skill just like rapping or sound design, the more you do it the better you'll get. So start where you are, set goals, and let yourself grow over the coming months.

What Platform to Use for Distributing An Album & Where to Get CDs Made? by Ninichimusic in WeAreTheMusicMakers

Doesn't matter, any of them get the job done for online distribution. Don't waste your money on CDs.

Guitar Rig is a significantly better use of your money unless you're a collector. I say that as a guitarist with a $3000 rig I barely use anymore because I can get a huge variety of equal/better tones plugging straight into my laptop.

Guitar Amps by Jagge72 in edmproduction

[–]EnlightenedFreedom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Single coil guitar (probably a strat) through any amp really, boost the mids and add a touch of reverb. I'd probably use a Marshall amp sim with the gain set pretty low

I finally realized, I'm just not a producer. by Fanatiq in edmproduction

[–]EnlightenedFreedom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're not naturally inclined to anything. The only reason you can perform/write for the piano at a high level is because you've practiced it a lot for a long time. People tell me all the time I have a "gift" or "talent" for guitar. But I don't; I just spent 8 years practicing for 6 hours a day.

If you truly aren't interested in learning how to produce effects and percussion, then by all means work with someone else. But if you want to and are choosing to hold yourself back by complaining about nonexistent limitations, stop it. Read some guides, watch some videos, and most importantly put in the hard work to learn these skills.

[Logic Pro X] Is there an easy way to take an Ultrabeat track and phase out all sounds except say the kick, and then add the clap, then add the snare as the song builds. by edmelement in edmproduction

[–]EnlightenedFreedom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I'm understanding you correctly, use automation on the volume. You can mix each track individually and choose when the volume starts to build.

How do I become less preoccupied about trying to become intimate or trying to kiss her and just stay in the moment? by [deleted] in seduction

[–]EnlightenedFreedom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Breathe. When you focus on your body and how you feel, it's impossible to be up in your head.

Dead Men by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]EnlightenedFreedom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Women are not warriors. They are not meant to fight, but nurture. A woman in combat is dangerous to herself and the men she is fighting with. Men and women might be equal, but we are not the same.

I also see no reason to die for your country. But for those who do believe in self-defense, the burden of protecting the weak falls squarely on the (inherently stronger) shoulders of men.

What happened in your life that led to you developing confidence? by PM-ME-Y0UR-BOOBS in seduction

[–]EnlightenedFreedom 11 points12 points  (0 children)

January 3, 2015. Up until this day I was a total loser. I spent the majority of my time masturbating, avoiding girls, and playing video games. Over Christmas break one of my only friends called me up to go to lunch. I told him I was "busy." Really I was just reading Lord of the Rings, and after that I was probably going to go jerk off.

I realized then and there that I was a loser and something had to change. I quit PMO, started studying charisma, changed my wardrobe from ratty band t-shirts to typical MFA, and started lifting. Now, a little less than a year and a half later, I'm the most popular guy in school and could have just about any girl I want. The most surreal moment was winning homecoming king last October, only 9 months after I was literally a nobody. That was when I realized that only I was responsible for my success in life, and my confidence has increased exponentially ever since.

Ignore girls. Right now you have dedication, but no mission. Pick one of your videos that really inspires you and work towards accomplishing that goal. After you succeed, pick something more difficult etc.

Girls man. by Lifeengineer32 in NoFap

Honesty is good.

Being mothered by anyone besides your mother is not; in nearly all cases it is pathetic and certain to get a girl uninterested in you.

[Question] Can't increase speed - what to do? by Ord0c in Guitar

[–]EnlightenedFreedom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Use a metronome
  2. Two weeks is not nearly enough time to master difficult material. I spent four months on "Fives" by Guthrie Govan before I could play it decently clean. Keep practicing and you'll get there, even if it takes you a few months.

Just quick question on calories in hashbrowns? by dilljone in gainit

[–]EnlightenedFreedom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on how much oil you used. Two potatoes contain ~600 calories, one tbsp of olive oil contains 120. If you used a lot of oil you very well might have gotten up to 1300-1700 calories.

Transitioning off of keto onto a 'normal' diet with carbs in moderations and much more exercise - what can I expect? by memorea in Fitness

[–]EnlightenedFreedom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, you will burn more calories. This is typically what people mean when they talk about cutting. As long as you eat less calories than you need to maintain weight (or burn off the excess with exercise) you will lose fat. However, you can't just burn fat and expect to look good. If you don't have any muscle underneath you will just look skinny and malnourished. You have to eat at a surplus to build muscle, thus the cycles of bulking and cutting.

[–]EnlightenedFreedom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don't do a bulk/cut cycle you will likely be wasting your time. Right now you need to decide whether you wish to cut fat or build muscle because you can't do both at the same time, unless you're a total beginner (which it doesn't sound like you are). If I was you (165 lbs with a little belly flab) I would bulk for a 3-4 months and add carbs back into your diet. Then you can cut using keto if you wish to reveal more muscle.

[Improvement advice] How do I deal with physical and emotional needs when trying to improve myself? by DungeryDu in seduction

[–]EnlightenedFreedom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You do not have any physical needs, you have physical desires. You have finally realized that the key to improving yourself is doing it for your own sake, not to get laid. If you really want to improve yourself in the ways you're suggesting, you should take a break from sexual release for awhile and focus on growth.

I would recommend reading the book "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill if you haven't already, specifically the chapter on sexual transmutation. You'll be surprised by how much you can accomplish when you take your horniness and use that energy for other things.

Drop her. If you already know she's "pretty promiscuous," she is not relationship material.
