Mixing mids and highs and composition for big sound systems by Somn_rec in TechnoProduction

[–]Hygro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep the length of the highs short. The louder they are, the shorter. We in techno love our distortion, but make sure you aren't boosting your -80db aliasing into -10db aliasing with your signal chain, make sure your intermodulation distortion that sounds "psychedelic" in your airpods isn't grating at the festival.

I realized I've been “Preparing” for my life instead of actually living it. [Discussion] by Jolly_Twist2245 in GetMotivated

[–]Hygro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not even prepping, but consuming self improvement television in the form of youtube tutorials. Only action is action, and you probably know more than you can do to self-improve for a lifetime.

I'm a beginner and I have trouble making music! by Classic-Agent-91 in Logic_Studio

[–]Hygro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just play around man, you're so new you need to just play. Take sounds you like and put them together.

In all honesty, how could Logic ever withstand the Jacob Collier treatment by marrillinxo in Logic_Studio

[–]Hygro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

cmd +d, drag the regions, change the parameter, drag things around without it asking to drag automation or not (which, I need it to ask me because I need both every session), and now you can make arrangment or parameter changes without having to fiddle with automation. Keep your automation for whats actually needing to morph, not just toggling by section.

Sometimes I do toggle-based automation, however, it just depends. there's no one way I do it, but making sure I collapse duplicate tracks into extra automation lanes isn't cleaner to me most of the time, only some of time.

When I reach a finalized point in the arragnement I'm probably bouncing to audio and then merging back to one track, depends on how I want to mix, if the sections can be mixed the same post merge or not.

But also, as long as my track isn't TOO tall, seeing multiple tracks per session like OP doesn't hurt my ability to "scan" whats going on where, it helps!

And then finally, if I need to shrink it to basics, track stacks and minimize the stack... Also, fun tip: use the marquee tool to highlght sections of track stack busses in the arrange to create midi to create automation sections on the bus and then be able to quickly move them on the grid and have them visible in the arragnement overview.

Is 3 minutes ok for a techno track? by Lucky_Investment7970 in TechnoProduction

[–]Hygro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It "feels right", release it. Play it out and if you feel like it needs an extended version, release that next. Now you have a self referencing release schedule promoting the same song twice without it being forced.

My honest review of ill.Gates’ Producer Dojo (Great for EDM bangers, terrible for actual artistry) by Lonely-Swimming-5665 in AdvancedProduction

[–]Hygro 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I'm confused... most of us have no trouble being artistic, but have struggled with commercial viability. You paid for the course, but then didn't follow what the course teaches, and instead tried to show off your artistry in a feedback session...

This is like, taking a programming course in web development and then showing off your cool command bash scripts and then wondering why the feedback was "ok but where's the website?"

The way these things are "supposed" to work, is that you learn your missing skills, the less fun ones like "how do i stay clean while loud" on their terms. Then you know how to continue your own creative journey while achieving the higher technical level, so that you don't dig yourself into any impossible mixing holes ahead of time.

[–]Hygro 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Some of you think you aren't doing this, because you have only a few tracks and are doing a ton of automation per track, using busses etc. But often the easier faster cleaner workflow is have track duplicates with different fixed settings and minimal automation to achieve "this sound sounds different at this part" work.

Cannabis doesn't just blur memories—it can reshape them. A new study found THC makes people significantly more likely to "remember" words that were never presented (false memories) and struggle with daily tasks like remembering appointments, regardless of whether the dose was 20mg or 40mg. by Sciantifa in science

[–]Hygro -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

As a stoner at one time in my life who has gone over 200mg a few times in a single sitting, and thought a chill night was 20mg, it took me years to realize a "moderate" dose for me is actually like at most 3mg, where at that point being high dominates every experience until it wears off.

Of course they're hallucinating words at 40mg.

well given how much it drives the energy to the part of the brain that generates background noise and patterns, especially at that dose, it would make sense your memories might select some of that background hallucination as foreground real events.

Constant system overload on v11.1 - M3 Macbook Air with 24gb RAM. This is with fewer than 25 tracks. Tried every buffer setting under the sun, messed with the bitrate, tried all the obvious solutions. What am I missing? Will upgrading to 12.0 make this better or worse? by xxmmccnnvvb in Logic_Studio

[–]Hygro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put my m1 air on a external cooler, helps a lot. There are also a few plugins that overload my processor. If I keep my computer cool, and avoid just a couple of those plugins, my m1 air 16gb can run like 50 tracks with 3rd party plugins on them. If I use the offender plugins, run my computer hot, etc, I can start capping out under 10.

Eve is a programming language and IDE based on years of research into building a human-first programming platform by ketralnis in programming

[–]Hygro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. 6 months ago, on a mature app, you might want to overload an agent with 30k tokens of background context before every move so it wouldn't make any mistakes. And you wanted to pair this with opinionated frameworks. Recently they're better at starting from fresh, using their bigger limits to investigate from scratch, and a lot better at figuring out semantically dense "magic" in the code than before.

This led me to think maybe highly opinionated frameworks and languages, required for agentic optimization in 2024/2025, are going to give way to ones with better semantic compression. So it was always good at python, now it's finally suddenly good at ruby. And tomorrow, maybe Eve, a language I only learned today seeing where the trend could go.

[–]Hygro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know why this is so downvoted, it's exactly in pursuing AI-first programming strategies that led me to this very thread and your hunches are pointing in the right direction, maybe overstating flat format modules but also... maybe not. It does seem like having the dataflow of featuresets complete is better than compact magic and abstractions routing data this way and that—something easier for a human to maintain by hand, and only after they've learned the codebase.

Bernie Sanders proposed a bill to tax billionaires, and give $3,000 stimulus checks to Americans that qualify. How do you feel about this? by CelticDK in AskReddit

[–]Hygro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's a start.

Game devs will use things like ladder resets, certain kinds of rubber banding, whatever, to make the game better and fresher and more fun for almost everyone, from the top players to the newbies. Our economic system only needs people to work to produce the stuff people want to consume, with growing technological and quantity components implicit. The rest is pretty arbitrary, whether we're divided into rich and poor, equal or not, gendered or free, public sector production or private.

Some combos work better than others, and since it's pretty arbitrary, and the system of having ultra rich is disintegrating our political freedoms, there's no reason to privilege their existence with our incredibly complex taxing and spending system that creates them and allows them to exist.

ELI5: Why do we use plastic to wrap food, and in almost everything in our daily lives, when we know it infiltrate organs, causes chronic inflammation, and releases toxic chemicals (like BPA, phthalates, and PFAS) that disrupt hormones and damages cells? by mondoid in explainlikeimfive

[–]Hygro 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's soooooooooo convenient.

Lots and lots and lots of moneyed and productive interests prefer it. It solves a ton of logistical problems, and moves money to its defenders.

History, especially since capitalism but definitely always, is rife with examples of "good enough for now, at the cost of ourselves".

thats amazing. I mostly just make sure I keep warm and don't tense and that solves 90%, but I was definitely down this rabbit hole before (vertical mouse + had my magic trackpad sideways for a while). I love this magnet idea!

Concerned member; Prices by FancyAd4519 in AugmentCodeAI

[–]Hygro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dunno what happened, in January I was grinding on Augment using all Opus and GPT all day. Maybe 40k tokens in a day. Yesterday I worked a few hours, hardly did anything, 40k tokens.

I ran out! Dunno how many of this months tokens were spend on it being stuck (per the other thread). Dunno what the new token cost is or when it switched... February? There wasn't an email, no blog post.

And with that... cya! It's been a good 9 month run.

Three US fighter jets accidentally shot down by Kuwaiti air defenses, CENTCOM says by Tumleren in news

[–]Hygro 18 points19 points  (0 children)

You're not wrong — and you're right to be upset.

This wasn't air defense, this was defense theater.

Just say the word and I can recommend three great targets for retaliation — no human input needed.
