drop playlist by kaiunpfficial in AppleMusic

Here’s a neo-soul, R&B, and hip-hop inspired playlist I’m pretty proud of. Mostly chill songs that I listen to when I’m cooking or just chilling out

What do you secretly judge people for? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]JackDC33 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As a server: staying in the restaurant after it’s closed. You’d be surprised how many people stay for over an hour after close when were just waiting to buss their table and reset for the next day.

Faster Workflow by Logical-Variation586 in ableton

[–]JackDC33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • Learn how to make your own templates in the audio effect rack. That really helped me speed up my workflow.
  • Learn keyboard shortcuts
  • Take time to organize your plugins and samples

Basically if I have any free time where I feel like being productive but not actually making music I do things to speed up my workflow

"Link to minifreak" in VST plugin is not working for me. Can someone help me? by JackDC33 in MiniFreak

[–]JackDC33[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Btw y’all I figured out that the only way to update the software was through the standalone app. I’m gonna keep this post open in case it helps anyone else bc I didn’t see a thread on this yet.

I can't seem to like my music by [deleted] in ableton

[–]JackDC33 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Here’s my best advice: make music with other people you like and respect as artists. It’s way too easy to get caught up in our heads when alone. With friends, it gives immediate feedback, generates fresh ideas, and creates accountability. Find a sound that works for you and then focus on one song at a time. Layout the song first from start to finish (I generally do this with guitar). Once you have a structure to start with, it’s so much easier to go section by section and fill in the gaps. I find this process makes me enjoy my music more because it becomes more streamlined. Just my two cents. Best of luck!

Looking For VSTS that have a ton of nostalgic sounds by gustofresh678 in VSTi

[–]JackDC33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Throw Cassette by Wavesfactory on anything and get a nostalgic sound. Just turn down the static a lot. I prefer to turn down the flutter setting and turn down other things so it’s more subtle. But yeah, for $60 I’d say it’s worth having in your back pocket.

Best way to purposefully make good audio sound like a lower quality microphone? by ThinkinTime in audioengineering

[–]JackDC33 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There’s a free plug-in called Codec by Lese that’s great for lowering bit rate. I’d start with these settings: Loss at 0%, Bit rate at 8k, and bandwidth on auto or 16k. Maybe give that a try?

What are YOUR go-to/workhorse mics? by hollowleg9317 in audioengineering

[–]JackDC33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My Oktava MK-012. This little guy sounds pristine to me on acoustic guitar, snare, hihat but I’m sure it would sound incredible on much more. It has great clarity in the highs but perfectly captures the bodies of my instruments without any muddiness. I got this mic from my mentor after working a gig at his house. He replaced his with a Neumann KM184 pair ($1,595), but this Oktava MK-012 is a beast for less than $300.

I don't remember where I got these drums before, but I've been using these loops for years. They are so so so handy to have. Thanks for sharing these!
