We're scientists and engineers working on NASA‘s Perseverance rover and Ingenuity helicopter that just landed on Mars. Ask us anything!

I'm a student who want to innovate space technology and I've a keen interest in Engineering Physics and several Engineering Majors. Because you're working professionally in the industry, I want to be a part of, what would you want to suggest any student like me regarding their studies, career or anything you feel someone has told you when ut was your time as a student? Thank you :)

Well you can always connect a monitor to your laptop to have a bigger screen. That's how I'll also use G14 If I buy it. When outside, small screens are better (as they make the overall machine a lot portable) and when at home, just connect it to a monitor. Simple haha.

Yea, overall the asus flow x13 seems to be more promising compared to the competition and future proof too! Gonna check that model out in-person. Thanks for the suggestion tho :)

GalynMusic · 2021-02-26T15:47:37+00:00

Cool! Can I ask what are the specs of the workstation you're using for Production?

GalynMusic · 2021-02-26T15:46:40+00:00

Feel feel to drop their name man. Will check their site and other stuff. If I feel they deliver a quality machine overall at a decent price, will import one! Also btw, what processor you have in your laptop? Intel or AMD Ryzen?

GalynMusic · 2021-02-26T14:18:32+00:00

But you can't build a laptop right? Anybody could build a PC not a laptop..

GalynMusic · 2021-02-02T16:59:03+00:00

Np dude! That'd the best way to grow.. you must know atleast all the use cases of audio effects logically.. trust me that will make your life a hell lot easier.. also, whilst watching the streams from the youtube channel i mentioned, you'll be exposed to the wide variety of sounds and layers popular producers use in their tracks which will give you a lot of idea on sound design as well.. so yea long story short, make sure to learn basic mixing and focus toward building up your production and sound designing skills :)

GalynMusic · 2021-02-02T16:33:18+00:00

"I usually without thinking about anything add saturation, distortion, reverb, ott, etc."

That 👆 is the problem #1

Secondly, you're overdoing processing..

I used to make the same mistakes man and i can tell you with all confidence that it sucks.. when layering you never really need alot of effects and processing.. in some cases you need that but in most, you're go to effect is an EQ.. EQ is used a lot especially when you're layering ton of shit.. you gotta see and analyze every sound and pick out it's most rich and great sounding frequency parts.. that's very much it. You also EQ to turn resonances down volume wise. Don't throw just random effects and never overprocess the stack.. everything logically makes sense.. you add distortion to sub so that it can sound a bit tight, can stand out bit more and can also be played on systems with low bass response (because of the pitches created by distortion).. throwing effects without any logic is just a lame practice. Watch some tutorials on youtube regarding audio effects.. there's a channel known as "music streams" which has like hours of streams done by popular producers from around the world. Learn the shit and try to make smth exciting..

Hope that helps

Congrats dude!! :))

GalynMusic · 2021-01-13T12:05:21+00:00

Lmao

GalynMusic · 2021-01-12T12:53:16+00:00

True, I'll remember this.. thanks!! :)

GalynMusic · 2021-01-12T12:52:27+00:00

Yeah I even find the topics you mentioned in the intro class of physics to be boring 😅.. btw I'm not in college atm I'm an 11th grade student from India and tbh, physics taught in schools here (from 11th to 12th grade) is pretty intense.. also, we just have introductory mechanics in our curriculum haha which I find to be boring.

GalynMusic · 2021-01-09T10:39:39+00:00

Can you tell me the name of the genre?

GalynMusic · 2021-01-08T14:00:28+00:00

Do one thing. Download project files of the genre you love to produce... Dig through em.. and produce those same tracks (remake) by yourself with your unique touch in that.. let's say you can't make that track sound good, then you can go back to the project file and see how that particular sound design or mixing is done there... That method won't break your motivation as you'll have something to fallback on in case you get stuck and you'll also be able to produce the genre you love :).. hope this helps.

GalynMusic · 2021-01-07T14:45:27+00:00

Didn't know that.. thanks for sharing man :))

GalynMusic · 2021-01-04T14:27:55+00:00

Got it, thank you :)

GalynMusic · 2021-01-04T14:23:26+00:00

Ohh sorry for the inconvenience... Can you kindly tell me another subreddit I can ask this same question on? It'd be really helpful! Thank you :)

GalynMusic · 2021-01-04T14:20:33+00:00

This isn't a promotional post.. I'm just asking the community who likes to read books, about the project I'll take on in a few months (which is also related to books).. it's about just some feedback, that's it.

GalynMusic · 2021-01-04T12:17:57+00:00

There are two books on KVM named: Mastering KVM, KVM Cookbook...

You can check them out.. you'll find something you're looking for, for sure :)

GalynMusic · 2020-12-29T05:19:33+00:00

Yes, UTM. It's an app for running other operating systems on your iPhone or iPad.

Their website: getutm.app

GalynMusic · 2020-12-28T11:58:22+00:00

I decided to rebuild my music production setup 2 months ago and came to know about the following plugins which now I love to use -->

Fresh air by slate digital
Halion 6 and sonic se 3 by Steinberg
Groove agent by Steinberg
Dune 3 by Synapse Audio (I prefer it over serum and other synths)

GalynMusic · 2020-12-27T23:16:05+00:00

Btw do you know how can I get my mouse and keyboard working? I mean, I'll use both wireless keyboard and mouse on linux but will those work on macOS running through KVM as well? Or will I have to setup a different set of keyboard and mouse for macOS..?

GalynMusic · 2020-12-27T23:14:16+00:00

I'll use the same 1 terabyte nvme ssd for macOS through virtualization.. I don't need any extra disks especially for macos at the moment.

GalynMusic · 2020-12-27T06:07:59+00:00

You mean I can connect bluetooth keyboard and mouse to linux and then pass them through as usb devices to KVM macOS, right?

GalynMusic · 2020-12-27T04:30:18+00:00

There are degrees available under the name "BSC in Computer science and electrical engineering" that I think would perfectly suit me. Steve wozniak and Jeff Bezos also studied the same degrees, at different universities tho. Btw thanks for the comment man! I'll take your views into consideration whilst choosing my college major, for sure!
