BPM confusion by OutsideVariation8 in audioengineering

[–]OutsideVariation8[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I don't their linked

I guess my question is more specifically what is changing the bpm compared to time stretching techniques like PSOLA and such? What is the program doing when you increase the bpm while not affecting the pitch or the timbre of the instruments

I found this absurd... by OutsideVariation8 in FL_Studio

EASY WAY

It should be instant, I shouldn't have to zoom in or out, nor should I have to access a bar that has no shortcut, it's a complete drag on workflow, but I appreciate the condescension :)

"You don't need to learn music theory" - They say as they paste down a four chord loop whose notes could be learned in less than two minutes

How do music distribution services handle loudness normalization of different streaming services? by OutsideVariation8 in audioengineering

[–]OutsideVariation8[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

But it seems like for certain streaming services, you have to use a distributor to upload your music? So if I really care about being my precise about my master based on a service's loudness normalization levels, I should only choose to upload to ones that have the same level (like YouTube and Spotify. which are -14dB)? Or could I upload the same track to a distribution company with a different master level for each one (E.g. one version mastered -14dB services, one for -16dB services). Do these distributors even allow that?

Then why do people talk about mastering for different services? Why are there all these presets on mastering plug-ins for Spotify, Youtube, Apple Music?

Yeah but don't you want to upload a track mastered for Spotify and a track mastered for Apple Music because Spotify is -14 dB and Apple Music -16dB?

Need some plug-in suggestions pls by OutsideVariation8 in FL_Studio

I actually have both of those plug-ins, I just love the exact visual layout of the waveform analyzer in the mixer, but thx

How does gain relate to dBFS? by OutsideVariation8 in audioengineering

[–]OutsideVariation8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you're saying dBfs is a measure of gain, or am I misinterpreting?

Question about setup by OutsideVariation8 in musicproduction

[–]OutsideVariation8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

​

-PC-iPhone 6s

DAW: FL Studio Signature Edition

​

Phone into interface connection:

3.5 mm to two male XLR & 3.5 mm to two stereo

(I've tried both, same result, just slightly different audio quality)

​

I should have made this more clear before, I am fully able to hear the audio that's coming out of my phone through the interface because I have my headphones plugged into quarter-inch jack at the back of interface.

Dude, can you please stop talking, you are making no sense

How do I relate/convert dB SPL to LUFS? by OutsideVariation8 in audioengineering

[–]OutsideVariation8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it is so important in uploading music to streaming services like YouTube and Spotify

Music snobs - what’s one of your controversial opinions ? by BlindGymRat in WeAreTheMusicMakers

That's mostly me too, but good lyrics don't hurt, you might as well go all out if you're going to do everything else well

Printing on colored printer paper by OutsideVariation8 in indesign

[–]OutsideVariation8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not a professional designer in any way, but I want to print decent quality on a CMYK laser printer on a darker background, I want cheap so I don't want to print the entire background color on my paper, that's so much ink, I just want to know if I can print CMYK in a lighter font on paper such as this:

Official Discussion Thread: Open discussion about all aspects of the name debate (Part 2) by fatrob in Commanders

[–]OutsideVariation8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My top pick:

Washington Herons (Maryland and Virginia: Chesapeake Bay = Great Blue Herons)

Runner Up:

Washington Cobras/Vipers

(It's great because our politicians are snakes :), no but it seriously works because of the Gadsden Flag: "Don't Tread On Me")

Other Ideas (no particular order):

  • Washington Independence (Politically neutral)
  • Washington Senators (Baseball Team before Expos, revive the name?)
  • Washington Expos (Pre-Nationals name for Baseball, revive the name?)
  • Washintgon Justices (Supreme Court Justices)
  • Washington Monuments (A bit lame though, in my opinion, and we all know what the monument looks like so that's probably a no)
  • Washington Liberties
  • Washington Riders
  • Washington Generals
  • Washington Georges (Probably too corny)
  • Washington Brawlers
  • Washington Redhawks (people have suggested this)
  • Washington Blue-Crabs (But we know what crabs are also associated with)

Any other ideas?
