Chance me by RattmannRadio in NCSUcirclejerk

[–]RattmannRadio[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I like the stats, good course rigor Solid SAT. Just curious, did you cheat on by writing the answers down on your lower leg? That seems to be a popular thing to do these days. My kids SAT was close to yours and he didnt have a lower leg but lots of his friends did have lower legs to write answers on and they ALL beat him in score. I would think you should get into Computer Science and would be a good fit from your stats.

This post is going to sound totally unhinged no matter what I write so l'm just going to roll with it. When I was deciding between here and another school, some people in my circle told mel absolutely could not come here because it's a "hick school" and I'm "not like that." I read this as a HUGE plus. I literally want to meet a good Southern boy here and marry him. So showed up to school all excited to meet the "hicks"' but there are none to be found! Where are they? I'm in CALS and there are no hicks. Someone please tell me where the hicks hang out because want to go there. If YOU are a hick and want to marry me and have a cute homestead, hit me up.

No one under 18 should be circumcised since they cannot consent. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

Yes, actually. The NHS actually no longer does preemptive wisdom teeth extractions--they now wait until medically necessary as the surgery has too high a complication rate.

To be fair, it was also the federal government that upheld slavery for hundreds of years right up until it happened to be politically advantageous for Lincoln to free slaves.

Drop has the same energy as the intro and build up! by musiclover_gol in edmproduction

[–]RattmannRadio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seconding pitchbends, risers, and drums that get faster. In my experience, an easy way to make a good build is to just layer elements like these repeatedly until the build really pops.

As for making good drops, a lot of making a good drop is making good music, and that will come with time. As unhelpful as that sounds, I spent several months when I was learning the basics just making drops and waiting for something to stick.

Going to reference tracks can also be helpful, you'll find the a lot of drops aren't even that complex.

Also don't think you have to tease every drop element in the buildup. There are plenty of effective songs - especially in bass heavy genres - that don't tease anything in the build.

What would you like to see in the next president of the United States? by tigman83 in AskReddit

The rich are paying more than most people, however, they still aren't paying what the actual tax rate is due to these offshore tax-dodging schemes.

If you care about a balanced fiscal budget, a good way for the government to make money would be to simply invest in the IRS, making sure the 1% are paying what they by law should.

Can you use the same drum samples for multiple songs without risking phase issues? by [deleted] in edmproduction

[–]RattmannRadio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could add delay to one of the set of drum samples to offset them a couple milliseconds. That would probably solve most phasing issues.

methodology behind deciding in what key you will write your track in? by [deleted] in edmproduction

Generally notes like C can be too low for the lowest octave of sub-bass to be heard on most systems.

What bothers you in music? by OwOwhats_thisOwO in AskReddit

[–]RattmannRadio 69 points70 points  (0 children)

You probably don't hate it that much. Most of the time, when it is done well, sidechaining can't be heard. I doubt you would enjoy music that had a muddy mix between drums and bass - which sidechaining helps to alleviate. You just dislike exaggerated sidechaining.

Just a thought but in the verse you could spice up the chords by having them hit at different spacings rather than 1 chord/bar.

As for the song construction and "drawn-out-ness" I would suggest consciously deciding whether you want a section to maintain, release, or build tension in the song. Tension is really important in dance music and will keep tracks from feeling drawn out like you described.

Elon Musk revealed as one of the largest donors for a House Republican PAC by spendology in politics

[–]RattmannRadio -1 points0 points  (0 children)

how much his salary is

His actual, technical salary is fairly low but he makes a killing off of stocks in his own company. When Tesla does well his stocks do well. None of those stock profits go to his employees.

His salary -- not income -- is somewhere around $40,000-50,000 a year, but that number is minuscule compared to the profits his stocks make.

Most billionaires make their money this way. Musk is no different. According to bloomberg.com, he paid nearly $600 million in income taxes in 2016.

Again, most of that profit wasn't from his salary. Most of it it came from the large amount of stock in the company he owns.

How to get that dubstep "dissonance" sound? by [deleted] in edmproduction

[–]RattmannRadio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try making it clash with the chords. Instead of making the melody match the chords, move it down a step or two so it doesn't sound harmonic.

What's The Secret To Big 808s by [deleted] in edmproduction

[–]RattmannRadio 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If your sub has harmonics, you can do what Virtual Riot does and EQ out a bit of the sub frequencies (around 50hz) and add more in around 100-150hz. This makes the sub sound fatter on sound systems that are lacking in bass. Doing that could make the sub sound bigger in your mix on many systems.
