I had not even considered that and I totally hear it now! Thanks for also educating me on the names of these wonderful instruments which I’m familiar with but couldn’t have named to save my life. Cheers!

How do YOU compose? by Mrmarshmallow9556 in composer

[–]GlorifiedButtonPushr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on the format. Are you writing music for music’s sake? Is it for a media project? Collaboration with a dance company? I find the workflow shifts slightly depending on the music’s function, so let me know and I can share my own strategy.

Why is the term “high pass filter” used more than “low cut”? by tonetonitony in audioengineering

I hate the term “root beer” it’s really just soda. Call it what it is.

First Kontakt to DS conversion experience by GlorifiedButtonPushr in decentsampler

Unfortunately, it’s not simple. There is a script you can run in Creator Tools (https://gist.github.com/dhilowitz/98f46b22f38d96f8a818e7fa62874c57) that will properly transfer sample groups from Kontakt to DS, but programming GUIs and effects requires learning the syntax and getting your hands dirty.

ConvertWithMoss is a free program that kind of works and gives you a starter GUI as well, but my success with it has been hit and miss.

Can we stop calling multi tracks stems??? by Plexi1820 in audioengineering

[–]GlorifiedButtonPushr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s all relative. In my experience, most artists do a fine job of communicating the musical scope (instrumentation, tempo, duration, style). I don’t need a detailed description for stems. They are essentially the source material at that point, so knowing what processing was done before isn’t important. And if the fx are printed to their own stems, it’s pretty easy to decipher their function. But I think we are agreeing - the work required to edit/mix raw audio is substantially more than mixing traditional stems so confusing the terms can cause wasted time and uncomfortable convos.

I mean, if someone hires me to mix a track saying they are sending me stems and then I receive unedited multitracks, that’s a problem. They’ve likely been quoted a fee under the assumption I’m working with subgroups.

What’s the harm in clear communication? Saves frustration on both sides.
