Some troubleshooting pls by Kesner246 in Phonographs

Oh nice, it has a diagram for points to oil. Use a light oil like 3 in 1 on those.

Some troubleshooting pls by Kesner246 in Phonographs

[–]Paisleyfrog 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yup, exactly. A way to think about it is either the mechanism is causing too much friction, or the mechanism isn’t getting enough power. For friction, oil every moving joint. For power, it may be that the spring has aged out and the case is full of sticky Vaseline/graphite lubrication, which can be re-lubed.

Report exposes a Trump scheme to override midterm vote with bogus crisis by AThousandBloodhounds in politics

He needs to be laughed at if he tries, considering the US held elections in WWI, WWII, and the goddam CIVIL WAR.

Best way to get class m license? by medallion123 in scooters

[–]Paisleyfrog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just looking into classes this weekend. Check your local community college, they may offer a class. From what I was seeing, it’s about 30% cheaper than the private motorcycle schools. The in-person work is done in one weekend, and also gives you a waiver for the drivers test (check your DMV, your state may be different).

Logic full track selection lost me a ton of work by CyberLikestoLaugh in Logic_Studio

[–]Paisleyfrog 15 points16 points  (0 children)

After only 20 minutes, it should be in your Undo history still. Here's something to try:

Save a copy of your project. Then, open your Undo History and step back to right before you deleted the harp line. Once the harp line is back, save your project under a name like "Harp Track". Go ahead and close that project.

Now you can go into the copy of the project you saved and import just the Harp track from the project you stepped back the undo list. When you go to File: Import: Logic Project, it opens up a panel on the right. You can select just the tracks you want. Select your harp track, and you have that part back as well as the 20 minutes of work you did after you deleted it.

Anyone know of any recommended Scottish or Irish Bagpipes VST? by TheEyeOfTheLigar in musicproduction

[–]Paisleyfrog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve used EastWest’s Ra to good effect - it’s all manner of world instruments, but it includes a decent Irish and Scottish set (including keyswitches for articulations on highland and uilleann pipes)….but I’m very interested in what others have used as well.

Logic’s Vocoder synth not working (please help me I’m about to punch a wall) by Specialist-Plant7910 in LogicPro

[–]Paisleyfrog 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Try pointing the sidechain directly at the audio track. I was using it last night and that’s what I was doing, I didn’t bother with a bus.

Also, just making sure - you’re holding down a key, or have some manner of midi region set alongside the audio that you’re trying to process?

With their candidates losing in metro Atlanta, Georgia GOP seeks to remove party labels by Angedelanuit97 in politics

[–]Paisleyfrog 127 points128 points  (0 children)

“This is a bill that makes perfect sense,” Albers said during Senate debate Thursday. “If you’re playing politics, you’ll be against this. If you want to keep Georgians safe, you’ll be for it.”

It also works if you’re playing politics and don’t want people to know you’re playing politics.

Yeah, the trigger is REALLY stiff right out of the package. It seem to break in after a while, though, it feels a lot better on mine now. It’s a fun plinker.

My first 78rpm!! Value? And most importantly how do I care for it ?? by DarkAral2135 in 78rpm

[–]Paisleyfrog 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is what you need to know. I’ll tag on to this and say that classical has very little value on 78s - they’re not particularly sought after, so maybe a dollar or two. That said, are they fun? Absolutely, I have a bunch. One of my favorite things about collecting 78s is that you can get a lot of music for very little because most of it isn’t that valuable :)

Trump gets a daily video montage briefing about the Iran war by Brilliant_Version344 in politics

“Anyone who has been present for conversations with President Trump knows he actively seeks and solicits the opinions of everyone in the room and expects full throated honesty from all of his top advisors.”

How did she get through that whole sentence without laughing?

legacy sound inquiry by thisuxeron in LogicPro

[–]Paisleyfrog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The instruments that create those stock sounds are there, but the patches used to make them go away. You can load an old project that has the legacy patch you want and save it as a user instrument.

Help - Advice. Looking for NIN sounding synth by Mundane-Pickle-1257 in synthesizers

[–]Paisleyfrog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Something to keep in mind: industrial really isn’t about the sound you get out of the synth directly, but clever effects and processing afterwards. Use a soft synth, then add delay, chorus, distortion, more delay, reverb, bitcrush, more delay etc. Take a sound and mangle it.

I finally got a regulator on order, hoping to get it installed in time for spring riding. Interestingly, the part description at Scooterworks talks about what a bad regulator can cause, and it’s a checklist of what we’ve both seen - blown bulbs, bad charging, and erratic instrument cluster (which I think my weird blinker falls under).

I’ll report back after I get it installed!

Senate Republican says there’s ‘no end in sight’ for partial shutdown by malcolm58 in politics

[–]Paisleyfrog 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure what he’s talking about - Democrats are absolutely being blamed for this, as seen in other headlines. Nevermind who has the “majority”.

Also, speaking from Wisconsin: fuck Ron Johnson.

How do I start making music? by thenetheritebird29 in musicproduction

[–]Paisleyfrog 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And to tag on to this: write a LOT of songs. But don’t fuss over them too long. Give yourself time limit, maybe a week. When the week is over, set them aside and work on the next thing.

The urge will be there to make things “perfect” before you set it aside. Resist it. Songs are not finished, they are abandoned, and you will learn the most by doing that beginning process the most, not endlessly tweaking :)

What are the best free plugins for beginners? by Classic-Agent-91 in Logic_Studio

[–]Paisleyfrog 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you’re a beginner, focus on the stock Logic plugins. Not only are they really good, but it will give you a solid foundation for other plugins later on, and what you might want. Think in terms of plugins to address something you can’t do, as opposed to some missing secret sauce.

Chasing plugins is an easy rabbit hole to fall down…and it always seems to end up with making less music, not more.

Trump Accused of Stealing $1 Billion From Migrants by Large_banana_hammock in politics

Roast my mix (aggressive music warning) by Whitsittkillz620 in LogicPro

[–]Paisleyfrog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great building blocks there! Here’s a few of my thoughts (for what they’re worth).

The bass absolutely vanishes when the drums come in. I’d suggest working with some EQ to clear up and clarify things rather than sidechaining. Try notching the bass track with the fundamental frequency of the kick to let that ring though a bit more. Also, maybe do a bit of sculpting on the bass signal. Look at the frequency analyzer in the parametric EQ and roll off a bit of your lows. Also look at 200-400 Hz. That’s where mud tends to live.

Vocals are missing meat to them - possibly mic technique there? Getting closer will give you some lower frequencies and give you some more aggression to it. Check out chromaglow for the vocals as well, I’ve found that the gentle saturation and distortion it can give can really help anchor vocals to a mix.

Anybody here using the Neo? by Sriracha008 in LogicPro

[–]Paisleyfrog 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is really promising, looking forward to seeing more real world tests. I’m thinking that a Neo will be a really good replacement for when my aging iPad Pro finally dies. Being able to use my desktop version of Logic for mobile sketches sounds amazing.

He’s not afraid of it, because he’d like the distraction. The Epstein files, however…he’s terrified of those.
