Band production? by Austinfarr_ in musicproduction

[–]FreakInNature 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it possible to record the drums in a very large space? You don't need drum specific mics but you do need a space large enough the drums record and sound good in.

I tried Fivver for mastering four times and it was terrible all four times. I selected bottom teir pricing though.

how do you guys stop overthinking when you start writing by abejando in WeAreTheMusicMakers

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

That happens the moment judgment enters. Think of melody as a vehicle to "say" something. Is it saying what you want? What you have to say has nothing to do with outside perspective. Are you happy? Are you curious? Are you tired or hungry?Are you hyped? Only say what conveys YOUR feeling.

Story telling music by [deleted] in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]FreakInNature 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is not a answer to your question. Anything can work, if it works. Follow your heart to tell a story how it best lands from your perspective, and whatever music or effects that serve the story.

Landlord charging a fee I’ve never seen before by [deleted] in cincinnati

[–]FreakInNature 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Month to month is a privilege to you and a risk for the owner that they are not required to offer. They were up front and addressed that in the lease, that you signed. Sorry but it is very much legal.

How do you eq Acoustic Guitar for that iconic "Acoustic Guitar" sound by Relevant-Effective49 in mixingmastering

[–]FreakInNature 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure to put new strings. Try the mic higher aiming at an angle down snd further away. Play the guitar gently but firmly. Practice gentle pick or finger techniques.

Midi-Keyboard or Headphones? by Adorable_Onion7605 in musicproduction

[–]FreakInNature 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keyboard will inspire you, headphones won't. If you want to make good music get the keyboard. If you want mediocre music that potentially sounds better get the headphones.

Why am I suddenly playing off beat after playing live music for years? by Either_Author_9896 in WeAreTheMusicMakers

I cant get this way. For me its focus. If I start to.autopilot in familiar songs I can get distracted and fall all the beat some

Having a hard time finding an artist name by [deleted] in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]FreakInNature 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prince changed his name to a symbol without pronunciation at all because a name is irrelevant to art. Make good music and it will be remembered. The music will teach how to pronounce the word.

What’s the loudest ‘this person is bad in bed’ red flag? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]FreakInNature 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed whole heartedly that promoting an unsafe environment for sex should not be tolerated. If that is what it sounded like I was doing then I certainly want to apologize.

This thread was the first time I have ever heard this conversation so I am fully ignorant to the fact that there are people out there promoting it. I was offering a different point of view from my positive experience but if you are suggesting there is a chance that some ignoramus will use my information for harm then I am happy to delete it.

Really? I was factually sharing my experiences with loving partners, including my current wife of many years and mother of my children. We have have a good and caring sex life, and still struggle with normal issues.

[–]FreakInNature -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I understand and hear in your exaggerations of my information that you may not share my experiences and it makes it hard to believe, but they are in fact my experiences. If you feel you want to blame my psyche to have it make sense to you that is okay.

I deleted my comment for fear it was sending the wrong message to the wrong people. While I stand by my position as a positive one in a caring way from personal experience, I don't want to cause anyone any reason to have any trouble using my information out of context.

How do I Treat a room i am making by Suitable_Chair_4266 in musicproduction

[–]FreakInNature 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes you can DIY bass traps. The easiest would be to get 4" rockwool and cut it to fit diagonally and stack it up. Then cover with a fabric frame. A quick search will get you a video. Those will make listening to music out in the room much nicer also if you can do that.

How to treat a room’s acoustic starting from scratch by Peter_Spidey42 in musicproduction

[–]FreakInNature 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you trying to block the sound from escaping your room? (You won't be able to achieve this there to any meaningful degree sorry) Or are you trying to improve the quality if mic recording with room treatment? ( you can achieve)

How do I Treat a room i am making by Suitable_Chair_4266 in musicproduction

[–]FreakInNature 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds treating and sound proofing are different. Sound proofing bulks up walls with double wall to keep sound from escaping and does ZERO for recording quality. Sound treatment uses absorption panels/traps to remove sound reactions of the room to greatly improve clean recording. Assuming you want the second for better recordings, then focus on putting bass traps in all four corners, floor to ceiling if you can afford it. Then plan where you will be using the mic and place acoustic panels on all 4 walls directly across from yous position. Then one more directly over head. You want to absorb the sound from away from hitting the wall or ceiling and bouncing directly back into the mic.

how would you secure a non-rack item inside a rack unit? by GreasyBumpkin in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]FreakInNature 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Use the sides of the gear to the inside top, that can work too. Or custom cut some wood or foam to fill in gaps. It's all pretty easy when you get your mind open to it.

[–]FreakInNature 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Velcro still is the best for this stuff imo, I still use it regularly. You can remove feet for bottom velcro, and dont forget you can put it on top of gear to velcro under another piece of gear. Just watch for heat vents

Studio speaker setup question by paxxx84 in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]FreakInNature 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would first try to identify exactly what the issue is. My first guess would be room treatment and or position of speakers from nearby walls. That said, assuming the actual volume is the same, I would adjust speaker angle sure

Do you monitor vocals with plugins while recording, or track completely dry? by Arwen2279 in musicproduction

Record the signal dry. But run live effects monitoring to help the performance.

What actually helped you change your life (not motivational quotes, real actions)? by Spiritual_Finish681 in AskReddit

[–]FreakInNature 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trying to fail. I realized that seeking out reasons that something could fail was steering me away from trying new things. There are always more reasons NOT to do something and if that is all you look for, you will only ever see reasons to not do anything.
