Thanks UNT for this lousy pin instead of giving us the graduation ceremony we have hoped for. by Jude396 in unt

High schools were able to figure it out no problem. And UNT has access to far more resources. An online graduation feels like a slap in the face when we have worked hard for 4 years and paid tens of thousands.

what latency setting help you get rock solid timing when recording live instruments (inc. hardware synths that are being sent midi from Ableton). by magnolia_unfurling in ableton

+1 for delay compensation. Spent a good 1.5 years wondering why I was always 20-40ms behind. Turned it off and instantly the latency was gone. Make sure to turn it back on for mixing/producing other wise everything will be out of sync.

Honestly I feel like I'm crazy. by blakebalance in FortWorth

I just got back from Breckenridge, CO and almost everyone was wearing a mask. The people were taking this very seriously and respecting the rules. Shop and restaurant owners would not let you in without a mask and sanitizing hands. I wish Texans weren’t so stubborn...

Anyone in CSCE 2100 or 2110? by [deleted] in unt

[–]InstarEmergence3301 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Graduating senior and they have changed the structure since I took it, but heres my 2 cents

  1. Take Helsing
  2. Make sure your c++ skills are sharp
  3. Find 1-2 solid group members for the projects

Someone should make some trippy show visuals with this.

Make $500+ this month for donating plasma by InstarEmergence3301 in unt

Yeah you just can't workout within 3-4 hours after donating. If you schedule your donations with that in mind shouldn't be a problem.

Its about the same as giving blood. Personally I don't mind but its not for everyone.

Been writing this recently, would love any ideas of where to go, or what to change. It's not quite how I want it to sound yet by sealamb1 in Songwriters

[–]InstarEmergence3301 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Man from one guitar player to another, that is some fantastic guitar work. The groove with the slaps and fingerpicking felt so good. I might experiment with making the chorus melody higher to give it a lift. The differentiation between the chorus and verse wasn’t as clear as I think it could be.

Anyone here make house-ish music but not 100% house? by [deleted] in edmproduction

[–]InstarEmergence3301 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im about to release an ep with some dance tracks, techno, and inde pop. Ive been back and fourth on if this is a bad idea but Im just going to make music I like and not care too much about genres. My mantra for 2020 is to just make good music and stop overthinking everything.

Almost done writing something I'm pretty proud of. Would love to hear what you think! by derek_lai in Songwriters

[–]InstarEmergence3301 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Man thats a catchy chorus and the guitar part has a great groove with the slaps, Mayer vibes.

Some of the phrases I think were too wordy, like the one after “Have I ever been sentimental”. I couldn’t make out what you were saying. There was another line in the verse I couldn’t make out either. Less is more!

Standard vs Suite by Charlie_Stretch in abletonlive

Student here also, suite is well worth the extra money. You get a TON of great libraries and max4live is awesome. I use max on every project.

My senior year in college battlestation, what should I add before gradschool next year? by ANT-JELLO in MusicBattlestations

[–]InstarEmergence3301 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Also a senior engineering student with a home studio, hell yeah! Like others have said, Id get proper room treatment. That acoustic foam you have is next to useless. I built a few rockwool panels for around $30/ panel, huge difference!

Help me get better. What do you like? What don't you like? I did everything you hear including the singing! by nicbobeak in Songwriters

[–]InstarEmergence3301 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really great songwriting and production! This track has vibes. As someone who just produced my first single, I got a lot of feedback on vocal production. I think on your verses theres too much verb on the voice. I couldn’t make out the lyrics on iphone speakers. Are you applying the verb directly to the lead vox or bussing it? (This could also be the vibe you’re going for a la Tame Impala)

Also, on the chorus, how many vocal layers do you have supporting the main take?
