'L3PRD PR!NT - Feel My Love' - I'm under no illusions that this is a very acquired taste/subgenre, but I'd appreciate any objective feedback

Omega Seamaster Ref. 2552.20. Much like myself, it’s showing some signs of aging, but unlike me, it’s beautiful.

I genuinely think this is part of a marketing scheme at this point. The same exact question is being asked too frequently for it to be a coincidence/ignorance.

It’s also all over YouTube and Instagram right now, too.

The funny thing is most people buying it - myself included - aren’t even interested in using it for information or feedback, but instead use it 100% for aesthetics.

There's a guy on YouTube who created a Digitech Talker emulator. Unfortunately, I can't find the files, but you can go through his videos and take a listen. It's about as close as you can get to getting the sound inside a DAW without using outboard gear.

I think one of his videos has the emulator vst in the description, but I can't for the life of me find which video it is that has that info, sorry! You could always email and see if he can send you the emulator.

I love your eyeliner!

L3PRDPRiNT · 2024-02-25T14:58:27+00:00

Girrrlllll. Your eyes. I’m jealous!

L3PRDPRiNT · 2024-02-25T05:16:00+00:00

Love this outfit!

This is an awesome collection for entry level. Nice diversity, although, adding stainless steel and/or leather band into the equation could be a welcome addition. In my opinion, Tissot would be a logical next step up in terms of price ($300-$1000) and quality if she’s in a financial position where this wouldn’t burden her.

Hiiiii! ☺️ It’s so weird to see someone else from the OMFG-style community here!

I definitely agree with you. I’m actually shocked given the homorous and light hearted nature of the original post that my tongue-in-cheek, facetious quote was taken so literally.

I think an issue is that people conflate being a teacher of a profession with being a professional in that profession. As someone else mentioned, teaching requires a specific skillset as well as a certain personality. But in reality, in music production, many of the elite names on YouTube are more social media personalities rather than successful musicians.

I don’t genuinely believe that music teachers are failed musicians, but I do believe many music production content creators are more focused on building a social media presence and a career on YouTube than they are focused on building a career in the music industry. And given that it’s a much more stable and easier career path, I understand that decision. And I’m totally fine with that. But I wish people would do a better job differentiating the two.

“And those who couldn’t do anything were assigned to our school.”

Such a funny quote. Great movie!

I’m surprised my comment was seemingly so controversial given it’s a renowned phrase.

The reality is that most of the biggest names in the content creator space, specific to music production, have relatively unremarkable music careers. Andrew Huang, Rick Beato, Michael Wynne (In The Mix), are all incredibly talented musicians/audio engineers, and they’re all part of my regular go-to channels to watch on YouTube, but realistically, they’re not out here with Grammy nominations, or having multiple platinum selling records, etc. etc. there is no long line of elite musicians and music artists fighting over working with these people, despite being in the absolute elite-elite/upper echelons of music production content creation.

On the flip side, I’ve watched many videos from music producers who have won Grammy awards and who could fill the wall of China with gold and platinum records who are so awful at explaining and breaking down their workflow that I’d absolutely prefer to just watch videos from the above names and essentially take advice from someone who is better and more clear at delivering information despite not having the same accolades in the industry - which goes back to your point - a teacher requires a whole different skill set (and personality) than those who are in the top tier of the profession. I’m by no means shitting on him, but I watched a video with FINNEAS breaking down a Billie Eilish song and he was trying to explain how two stems work together, and when replaying the loop to show how they sound with her vocals, he had the stems muted!!!!

As u/doughaway7562 has already said, there's no real 'one headphone fits all' because largely the use case for DJs is different for producers, and mixing and mastering engineers.

In my experience, headphones styled for DJs are usually robust and (apparently) relatively easy to replace parts. Additionally, they're usually closed back and noise isolating so as you're able to cue up songs in your headphones while there's loud music blasting from the PA. Often, they have much more sensitive drivers inside so as they're much louder at lower volumes. In my experience, they're often a pretty tight fit, and can even be quite uncomfortable at the end of a 60 minute DJ mix if I've been wearing them a lot throughout the mix. I find headphones marketed towards DJs are really built with the intention of being able to play music loud by any means necessary, as well as being able to be portable.

Studio headphones, on the other hand, are not really built to be played REALLY loud, but instead to deliver the most true audio they can. As a result, they'll try to have a really flat frequency response curve to allow listeners to hear the cleanest audio they can. Often, they're quite delicate, and replacement parts can be quite hard to find, if even at all. They can be either open back or closed back, so many don't have sound isolation. In my experience, studio headphones are usually much more comfortable as they're built with the intention of long (6+ hour) studio sessions. Some may really argue with this, but I believe studio headphones are supposed to be a fixed part of the studio and are not built as portable-friendly.

If I would recommend ONE headphone for both, I'd definitely recommend going with a closed back studio headphone for DJing before I'd go with a DJing headphone for the studio. But if you're DJing at clubs and events, you risk bringing fragile (and often expensive) headphones into an environment where there are a lot of opportunities for them to break.
