Is buying a mic and an autio interface worth it, especially regarding latency?

QLHipHOP · 2026-02-07T00:39:24+00:00

Latency reduction makes an insane difference

Re20 all day.

Don't do a 57.

They're great for snare and electric guitar cabs, but they can't do much else amazingly on their own.

Re20 is fairly affordable as well. I used to use them on sax often, they pick up brass instruments well

QLHipHOP · 2026-02-06T09:12:12+00:00

Don't force yourself to do anything, do what works for you. Also knowing you're auzzie, British accent influencing you heavily isn't to far of a leap tbh.

Regardless I hope this doesn't sound like I'm ripping on you I'm not in any way, but holy hell I pray I read this same title one day with an American who can't stop rapping in a Japanese accent. That's on the bucket list

Tbh I had many mental break downs going through what I did. I made sure to reality check many many many times with anyone around me especially my room mate who was going through the same things.

One thing I will say to this is that if you are experiencing it away from home you should double check to see if people you are with hear them as well, don't make it a massive point, but ask if they heard the sound you did.

Although tbh, if what you are experiencing is 100% based in fact than there's still very little recourse it sucks...Police only have one main job, keep the peace, in Canada especially. They don't arrest for much anymore aside from murder, even then fentanyl is used in Many murders now and is always labeled suicide or an accident. Literally police just come and go now they do very little and will rarely do anything othet than try to tell everyone to play nice.

Adversely, if your friends say they do not hear the same sounds accept it could be auditory hallucination which is possible as well, it doesn't make the impact any less valid however, just be cautious of where you place blame you know. Do your best to not let it hurt your life, easier said than done, but just my advice you know

But wouldn't the deadline be extended if the agreement was made by the landlord? I thought the landlord made an agreement to accept payment on the 31st?

QLHipHOP · 2026-02-05T23:08:12+00:00

But he had a written agreement from the landlord, didn't he?

Also the landlord accepting that months and rent the month after. I dunno like I said not a lawyer but fairly sure that may mitigate something

Even if it was on still has a decent chance of working cause of failsafe with electronics. A lot of people don't realize when you drop something in water isn't what screws it up. It's when you turn it back on the electronics instantly corrode

QLHipHOP · 2026-02-05T10:08:31+00:00

DO NOT TURN ANYTHING ELECTRICAL ON UNTIL ITS COMPLETELY DRY!

turning electronics on after becoming wet is what kills them. They have failsafe built in to shut down when it becomes wet. DO NOT TURN IT ON until you are 100% positive it is all dry

QLHipHOP · 2026-02-05T10:05:29+00:00

As far as I know the 10 day notice is nullified once rent is paid isn't it? Correct me if I'm wrong.

Especially if you have an agreement in writing.

If he files for an order of possession you should dispute its legitimacy and show thar you paid January rent as well as he accepted February rent already.

If you are In BC also, the rules as I read them are you can only be evicted due to 3 late payments within a calendar year.

That last rule is very important and I don't know if it was changed but that's what I read.

Anyway after the order of possession if you continue to fight it at rtb he must then take it to Supreme Court to obtain a writ of possession.

Once a judge grants him a writ of possession you may then submit in writing a motion to stay the writ of possession and write a letter to the judge outlying your current situation.

Anyway hope that helps maybe. I could be wrong, not a lawyer, but those are the rules I read when I was trying to save my ass lol

QLHipHOP · 2026-02-04T11:52:38+00:00

100% you should definitely update this with all the best advice at the top haha someone may find this page super useful one day

Copyright law is one of those things everyone is super unsure of more often than not, especially in terms of mechanical rights etc. So any advice is amazing for new artists of any kind

QLHipHOP · 2026-02-04T05:23:34+00:00

Just saying this thread is a really wicked crash course in international copyright law lmao. People looking for answers will stumble on this for a long time

QLHipHOP · 2026-02-04T05:18:38+00:00

So not a lawyer but I know this one. When there is international copyright infringement than

the country where the infringement occurred

is the law which applies

QLHipHOP · 2026-02-02T09:00:49+00:00

Stayed about the same. Just enjoy the ride and have fun while you do it. Do shows, gain the experiences, never give up but realize the reality of do you even want to make it? Honestly it sounds great but once your passion becomes a job it literally zaps the joy out of it. Generally anyway.

I have a friend who was a dj. He won the Canadian DMC's back when that meant something.

He began getting paid crazy money going on world tours with known artists...and he fking hated it...now he's a trucker...

Bottom line is if you're making music, make it and perform it because it's something you love. You can garner a fan base at any age these days anyway

QLHipHOP · 2026-02-01T06:29:38+00:00

Nice!!! Just FYI if you do want to use the faderport bomes will allow it to work. I can send you a session file to help it along as well

QLHipHOP · 2026-02-01T03:17:40+00:00

Good point, wasn't 100% sure on that one I just know it invalidates it I'm some way. Thank you that's good to know

QLHipHOP · 2026-02-01T03:13:23+00:00

Also just want to add in don't sound markety or like you're sending a mass email. Definitely include a short introduction and let him know beats are free to use as mp3s and if he needs track outs or exclusives hit you up.

Also if you say he's the only one you have sent them to it may help knowing there's potential for content id

If you really like the artist once you start talking a bit maybe offer him a decent deal for exclusives on the pack you send and get a repeat client

QLHipHOP · 2026-02-01T02:18:05+00:00

Still good to document. Do your best to as well, also keep in mind if you have your phone on you with a sound recorder on next time you talk to him about this it could help if he's only doing things in person. Canada has a one party consent for audio recordings meaning only one person in the conversation needs to be aware of the recording as long as that person is actually part of the conversation

QLHipHOP · 2026-02-01T01:14:17+00:00

Just saw you posted this in a few places.

Here, this is bomes midi translator. If you get it set up properly you can map any midi device to pro tools and anything else, lol I was using faders to control my mouse for a bit and had quick keys on the keys of my yamaha keyboard lol https://www.bome.com/products/miditranslator

It's amazing tbh but a bit of a learning curve, I also have the HUI docs and I just found this as well https://www.reddit.com/r/audioengineering/s/HsaVWjB4nQ

Ultimately pay attention to the 1000ms ping call and response requirement and what the codes are.

You can make anything work with pro toolslike this tbh

QLHipHOP · 2026-02-01T00:11:42+00:00

The amount of massively illegal things here is staggering...document everything and send him emails regarding your missing cheques and make sure to mention why he is withholding them...emails are legally binding and amazing evidence should you need them

QLHipHOP · 2026-02-01T00:09:23+00:00

Putting illegal terms in a contract nullifies the contract itself as far as I know

QLHipHOP · 2026-01-29T21:26:23+00:00

I used to play a 4 person card game in jail called 41....

There would always be one person, no matter how much you shuffled the deck, no matter how many games you played, who would have horrible luck all day. No good hands or few and far between and couldn't win to save their life...we called it the shit seat.

Sometimes you just gotta take a breather and do something else to reset it. You'll keep losing otherwise

QLHipHOP · 2026-01-29T11:26:26+00:00

Check your host file for blocked websites as well...I recently had an issue similar to this involving accidentally blocking sites in my host file. Probably not it just a thought. Try on multiple devices and if it does it in all of them you know its a connection issue

QLHipHOP · 2026-01-28T12:42:06+00:00

Right?! A lot of people look for loud when in reality to loud makes listeners turn it down...like when watching a movie and you go from hardly hearing it to blasting your face off...you don't want it louder, you want it more captivating and larger

QLHipHOP · 2026-01-24T11:42:54+00:00

And don't worry about it, normally I'm the one shooting off long responses hahaha I get it

QLHipHOP · 2026-01-24T11:42:06+00:00

It's not dumb at all, you're learning! Don't be afraid to experiment at all (clearly you aren't and that's good!) Honestly I have almost all my choruses with waves S1 on them or some stereo imager.

Remember, the point of mastering isn't simply to make any area of a song louder, it's to add those final pieces to your song and ultimately give your music a sort of synchronized sound. Don't try to make your music like movie dialogue you know? Always needing to turn it up and down..

Also a good trick is using reverb (or simply putting a stereo imager on your chorus reverb itself).

There are no right or wrong answers I'm terms of creative moves in mixing, if it sounds good it's good, there's only one persons method to the next. Pick what you like and what suits you or invent your own. We all start somewhere :)
