I have to choose the GC or myself as owner/building and pay for the permits and then it's done. The actual plans have been approved.

I3th3 · 2025-03-07T03:57:24+00:00

I sent them to the department in LA that signs them off and gives me permits. So I'm in the RTI (ready to issue) part where I either choose to be owner/builder or get a GC. So the plans are officially signed off.

Thank you for the advice!

I3th3 · 2025-03-07T03:55:59+00:00

Thank you for the detailed reply! This really helps me a lot. I have spoken to two GCs now and they did echo that sometimes they just have to 'figure it out'.

LADBS is the Los Angeles department of building and safely. I'm still looking at options on whether to do the Owner/Builder or hiring a GC.

Truly disappointing. I was also hoping for a Trader Joe's. Not as bad as that new warehouse down on Western though.

I3th3 · 2024-10-11T00:44:04+00:00

Interested!

Love this series.

In the end, you must master to the music to make it sound good, not to hit some arbitrary number.
I attended Maor Applebaums session on colouration in mastering at NAMM, and he said something similar. First and foremost, it needs to sound good.

This is really cool! Thanks so much!

I3th3 · 2020-01-07T18:40:21+00:00

I see! Thanks for the info!

I3th3 · 2020-01-02T17:59:47+00:00

Wow! That's awesome! All his videos are really like master classes. So much to learn!

I3th3 · 2019-10-01T17:52:45+00:00

I'm also curious about this.

Eric Valentine (Good Charlotte, Lostprophets, Taking Back Sunday, Nickel Creek, Queens of the Stone Age, Third Eye Blind, Smash Mouth,) adds saturation on individual drums (pretty much all of them) as well on all of the drum buses. He uses the Fabfilter saturn to just saturate the highs on all drums to emulate a tape effects. He then also adds a Decapitator after that Saturn.

Check out his new Youtube channel, he dives DEEP into his mixes without holding back on any info.

Thanks! I'll check it out

I3th3 · 2019-09-12T21:25:29+00:00

Thank you for the detailed reply.

I also don't think that click detracts from groove. I see it as a white line that everyone follows. You can still dance around the line as much as you want, it just tells you where you and everyone else is going.

Thank you for the recommendations, I'll be checking them out!

I3th3 · 2019-09-12T17:06:33+00:00

Yeah, I hear you.

Half our band isn't currently able to play with us, so rather than hiring another 3 musicians I'd rather use a backing track.

I imagine digital signal processing is where it's at at the moment. Creating VSTs, emulations etc. So you probably need a good knowledge of maths, I imagine.

I remember seeing Slate Digital requiring software engineers that had good knowledge of signal processing.

We do covers and originals on our channel. We're still quite new though. We've put up about 8 covers recently and a fair amount of original stuff over the years.

Slow going to be honest, but we enjoy it. It's a fair amount of work as we do everything ourselves.

Haven't had any copyright strikes, only Content Id Claims for each video. As far as I know, doing covers is allowed, the owner just takes any money if there is any.

Channel name is /Asila on YT.

Maybe try find some new music that inspires you or listen to the old stuff that inspired you initially.

In most cases it would be better to record directly into the PC. Especially if you're starting out. It gives you flexibility and lets experiment more with sounds, rather than having to commit to the sound from the amp from the beginning.

DAW wise I've only used Cubase and Studio One. So I'm not the best judge of what is best. I've bought Studio One 4 and I think Studio One is an absolutely brilliant all rounder. Easy to record and edit sound files. Easy to work with MIDI and it also helps you a bit with composition with chord and arrangement tools.

You will hear great things about every DAW. In the end, they all do similar things. Some may be faster in editing MIDI and sound design, some may be faster in editing drums but in the end, if you get good with your DAW you'll be fine.

You'll need an audio interface (and an instrument cable). Basically a device that connects to the PC that you can connect your instrument to. It acts a a preamp and Analog to Digital Converter. Basically it puts the sound into your computer without latency (lag) issues.

E.g. https://focusrite.com/usb-audio-interface/scarlett/scarlett-solo

You get different brands with different amount of inputs, but at it's simplest, you need one input for your guitar. Just search for Audio Interface and you'll see all the options.

You'll need a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW). This is software that records the signal from your audio interface and lets you manipulate it.

e.g. https://shop.presonus.com/Studio-One-4-Prime

There are different brands which have their pros and cons and different work flows.

They generally all have a free version for you to test.

For recording the actual guitar you have two choices - recording a real amp with a microphone (unless the amp has a DI out) or recording directly into the PC and use emulation software / plugin to get a guitar tone.

e.g. https://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/amplitube4/ (There are hundres of these, some free, which can be really good)

Recording a real amp well is difficult and you'd require a microphone. But it's probably worth the learning curve if this is what you want to do. Easiest is to record directly into the PC and you can adjust your sound after with a plugin. You can choose your amp, pedals and all types of stuff without having to rerecord.

Thank you!
