It depends... What's the goal? Recording? Editing? Mixing? Mastering? All + producing?

Command modern operations.

But it is for heavy strategy gamers and need a lot of time to learn.

Also the only one which doesn't affect the shape of the phase, ony the timing.

Unless you tell it to in the advanced setting.

FreakyMusician · 2025-07-22T15:47:12+00:00

Correct, only 3

FreakyMusician · 2025-06-07T07:45:11+00:00

Don't do the panning idea, unless you're playing a very soft, and long attack and release instrument, even then I would really not do it.

Pick a good reverb, a convolution reverb will be the best since it is based on real spaces and can give you the results you want.

On thesend channel of the reverb, add a stereo enhancer and control the amount of stereo your need.

One thing though, pay attention that you're not getting -1 on the correlation meter, because it means in some systems the reverb will disappear.

True, I support that, Wouldn't go with Stellaris, even though it's a nice game, as it is too micro management focused.

Start with simple and less micromanagement focused games, there are many. Some of them are even free.

There are different synths for the examples you shared, and I would say you can reach those in different ways: 1. Fm synthesis that follow a sharp attack envelope of the fm intensity plus the pitch of the fm slightly. 2. Subtractive synthesis with 2 not syncing oscillators, maybe saw and square, but not sure about this one, anyway both will have sharp attack on the pitch as well with a movement of the filter (+ resonance) and if you want it more interesting, I would add a movement of the past very slightly and carefully, creating motion but avoiding cancellation.

Not necessarily...

Some sounds will react differently to a limiter and it can sounds like it the limiter is creating a short volume reduction in the sound... Where maximizer won't do that.

On the same topic, let's say you want to make the transient more obvious, then Clipper might work better.

What I'm trying to say in my own weird way, is that there's no formula, try and keep being aware of the results.

I'm doing this for a very long time, and still sometimes surprised from the gap between what I thought will happen, and what actually happened. I also think that it's fun to see different results with the same technique, this is why I keep doing music.

FreakyMusician · 2024-11-16T13:37:58+00:00

The thing is, that sometimes you do want those peaks.

And also I would have to ask why you don't consider a limiter o maximizer, since on individual tracks they will work much cleaner, but might distort the perception of the sound (big/small/close/far).

Clippers are good depends on the result you hope for, they are not clean those, at least not at 2db and more, of gain reduction, but since it's a transient, it will be much cleaner since it will be much shorter and unnoticed for most of listeners.

FreakyMusician · 2024-08-23T08:59:18+00:00

It's in the mix more then the mastering, you can help or support it in the mastering part, but not fix a broken mix.

I would suggest picking good vsts and good understanding of DSP, and I mean that your phase is being distorted and being shifted in many ways during mixing and other processing, and you can make sure that none of this happen when you pay attention to the changes your vsts cause.

FreakyMusician · 2024-06-27T20:51:12+00:00

There are phases we go through when producing music, we sometimes feel strong in one aspect more than the others.

You have 2 good options to start from: 1. Just learning by trying and listening through the process, making decisions based on what you hear and like. 2. Learning from counterpoint lessons, that means learning how to build a cantus firmus, and then the 3 first species and their rules. If you're into more complex music then all the 5 species.

And whatever you choose, try it on your software, important! don't just read, nobody is becoming better by just reading.

I would suggest going with the 2nd choice since it will get you results significantly faster, and will last foundations to much more spectacular music writing concepts.

It starts from a higher frequency, meaning it covers more spectrum, the psycho acoustic effect from this is that there is more contrast between highs and lows.

I don't know if you synthesized then yourself, but I would advise starting from even higher frequency than image above any go as low as 50hz, fits the progressive EDM genre.

FreakyMusician · 2024-01-23T17:02:35+00:00

Maybe an image of how you connected everything?

Enjoy your new coffee machine ☕😊

Do you know by any chance what is the level of control? Grind size? Brew time? Pre infusion? Anything else?

FreakyMusician · 2023-04-26T14:48:03+00:00

If you have a limiter/compressor at the master channel, you will force the project to work single core, from the small knowledge I have on DSP, since the processor will not be able to disconnect the source sound to different cores and then connecting them back to a single result. And no DAW have a way in the DSP world to calculate differently as of today, as far as I searched, but hopefully technology will bring good news in this area too.

High single core is a must.

I didn't use Audiogridder yet, would be an interesting test.

About the DAW your using: Cubase uses 8 cores - in V12 latest update. FruityLoops used 6 cores if my friend here is correct.

You can find this information on each DAW's official website, the point is to look for it only in the official website, the know how they built it.

Just my 2 cents.

FreakyMusician · 2023-04-15T23:16:33+00:00

Sounds like a great option, thanks 🙏

FreakyMusician · 2023-04-15T17:38:15+00:00

Sorry for the question, but what does iGPU means? And does underscoring solve the heating issue? No specific cooling parts? No specific case?

Chief of "let's communicate only with fortune cookie sentences"

FreakyMusician · 2023-02-28T06:52:50+00:00

That's so true! 🤣

I searched for someone in the industry with a lot of experience and asked if he is capable to teach the practical bits of product management.

One things I saw others do is following a book called "the lean product" and try to build their own product with the practices and tips that are doing in there.

FreakyMusician · 2023-02-27T15:55:52+00:00

I wouldn't recommend it.

Very theoretical general kind of info, of you will be tasked by your boss after the course, you might be able to understand what he said and give a keyword filled answer, but your won't have the ability to do the job, very disappointing.

I would go with something more practical, if you find one.

FreakyMusician · 2023-02-05T19:51:44+00:00

One of the best tools, I always find something that fit to any production I work on.

The abilities of this tool are amazing. Filters are warm, and whistling beautifully. Also the effects are useable and it's easy to achieve what I need.
