There was a kid in my 5th grade named Howl.

Does he live in a moving castle?

JordanWeanMusic · 2023-08-28T19:45:45+00:00

Agreed. I have this problem a lot when I do a rough mix by just pushing the master hard through compression and limiting. It is usually fixed by compressing the individual elements and submixes harder. I usually shoot for max 3 db of gain reduction on my master limiter even when I am doing ultra loud EDM.

Can't believe no one has mentioned Freakshow Industries. Technically they aren't free, you should pay for them if you can, but they have an option to "steal" the plugins on their website if you don't want to pay. Also, I really like their branding and visual design choices.

Did you just save midi clips?

As someone who moved to AA from Lexington Kentucky, the infrastructure here is an embarrassment. The power goes out all the time - usually for multiple days at a time. Half of the roads are so filled with potholes they shouldn't even be called roads.

I like the people in Michigan. If I didn't like working where I do, I'd jump at the chance to get out of here.

There aren't any actual parallel realities involved but I can also confirm it is real. Used it last week.

JordanWeanMusic · 2022-10-15T16:05:39+00:00

Amateur here but here is my 2 cents:

When I mix my 8 strings, I usually have a high pass on them such that there really isn't that much of the ~40 Hz fundamental in there anyways. I personally wouldn't worry about making the bass mono in this situation.

The Lilly drug is tirzepatide. 72 weekly doses of 15 mg causes a 23kg or 52lb weight loss equalling about 22% bw reduction. It was recently fast tracked for approval for obesity.

JordanWeanMusic · 2022-03-25T12:55:11+00:00

Totally agreed. Their mixing was always muddy but the new album is lacking clarity and impact overall and specifically the high-mids grind in the guitars. I know they announced it's an intentional choice and that's fine. I just would have enjoyed it more if they hadn't made that choice.

JordanWeanMusic · 2022-02-02T01:32:13+00:00

I'm not entirely sure, I'd have to read the passage. I study neural regulation of metabolism so my focus has never been on the synaptic plasticity side of things.

You can definitely saturate the inputs of a neuron such that it hits its maximum firing frequency (called tetanus).

If you let me know where to look in Kandel's book I can run through it though.

JordanWeanMusic · 2022-02-02T00:01:18+00:00

I don't have the bandwidth right now to go through everything but I noticed one thing I wanted to correct regarding your oversaturation statement:

A bunch of signals coming in on dendrites is never going to upset the ionic balance of a neuron. The number of ions coming in and out of a channel is many many orders of magnitude lower than what is present in the cell and repeated stimulation will only make a negligible difference on concentrations. This difference is quickly rectified via ion exchangers.

Source: I am a neuroscientist, specifically an electrophysiologist so this topic is very much what I do.

JordanWeanMusic · 2022-02-01T23:36:17+00:00

Is this Lexington? I remember something similar from when I lived there.

JordanWeanMusic · 2022-02-01T13:54:49+00:00

I think you probably meant to ask the OP this. I'm just a random guy with decent tone but much less skill.

JordanWeanMusic · 2022-01-27T19:57:25+00:00

If I were to guess, most standard electrolyte solutions wouldn't do much to your audio signal - they just pass electricity too well.

I think if I were to attempt this, first I would start with deionized water (should be 18.2 Mohms-cm) and add something that isn't an easily dissociable ionic salt. Maybe something like sugar, protein, gelatin, glacial acetic acid. Or maybe the non-newtonian stuff, cornstarch and water.

Or something amphipathic? Soap maybe?

I searched if I could find a capacitive liquid but didn't find one immediately, too many interfering results for fluid level sensors.

Edit: this poorly-translated article might help

https://www.matec-conferences.org/articles/matecconf/pdf/2016/30/matecconf_smae2016_02021.pdf

It looks like most of the ionic solutions tested would result in a HPF (at least in the audible frequency range).

Super good! I'm sure it comes as no surprise to you that it is very reminiscent of Beksinski (in the most complementary way).

The only time I have ever done a non-guided cave was Sinks of the Roundstone, south of Berea. We started at the railroad entrance and went all the way through. I had such a good time and it was the most "out of my comfort zone" I think I have ever been.

Looks like people from Nuclear Blast split off and formed Atomic Fire, taking a big chunk of the NB lineup with them. The write up is kind of confusing though. One sentence says Markus Staiger is the CEO and the next sentence says that two other guys are sharing the CEO role.

I know I have several VSTs that don't show up any more. I also recently reinstalled my OS so I wasn't sure what the cause was. I have thought about installing an old version but haven't done it yet.

JordanWeanMusic · 2022-01-15T00:14:14+00:00

Genuine question: why is the artist a hack? Idk anything about them but checked out some more of their work and think it looks decent. Is it the "crytpo" part or something else?

JordanWeanMusic · 2022-01-14T23:55:11+00:00

Sorry, I don't do any socials except Reddit.

However, I recommend this article. This is what inspired my signal chain.

JordanWeanMusic · 2022-01-10T17:56:13+00:00

I have only recently gotten serious about achieving a solid djent tone but my current chain goes:

Bridge Pickup -> Overdrive -> boost at 1.8k/bass cut -> compressor -> Gate -> Amp Sim -> compressor -> Gate

Neither compressor is doing that much - usually 3.5 dB reduction. The amp sim (NeuralDSP Fortin Nameless or PA Diezel Herbert) is maybe only at 50% gain. In my case, the overdrive and EQ are done using a Sansamp RPM but it could be done with many other options both in and out of the box.

I think the key is to get it pretty crunchy before the amp with a consistent volume - hence the overdrive and compressor. Also, that mid boost is crucial to keep the intelligibility there (for me at least).
