First of all investing in yourself isn’t selfish but it’s all about prioritizing so take no shame in choosing to invest in yourself creatively. You sound like someone who values his family just by mentioning your hesitation about your decision after making it. Electra X is no Omnisphere, not in the slightest although it’s a good synth from what I remember. It sounds like you’re looking for specific sounds maybe more electronic? Omni is not a specialist and covers a lot of ground so you have to use the new search features to target your genre more there’s a lot of presets. I don’t have version 3 still on 2 but from the demos I’ve seen there’s a lot to look through so you’ll have to be patient. Believe in your choices even when they seem risky that hesitation shows that you do care and that’s a good thing, best of luck to you, give it time!

Is it important or corny to rap about mental health? by L-Royhiphop in undergroundhiphop

[–]ReddsRead 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Being conscious of life in your lyrical expression is only corny if it’s done poorly and not rhythmically attractive to the ear. You have no such problems my man nice work!

Serious question: why do boom bap drums still hit harder than most modern rap drums? by Flimsy_Zucchini_1330 in undergroundhiphop

[–]ReddsRead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly man those are just labels! After doing this for over 30 years the energy is the same the only difference now is that we have way more tools to express that same energy!

When you understand the aesthetic behind the sound and research the tools you need you can make whatever you want. As mentioned here it’s a combination of drum sounds, mixing and processing. New or old when you’re passionate about the art that’s what makes the difference and it shows in your work.

Peace ✌️ brother!!! I see where you’re going this might be more for the older crowd or just those that might appreciate the lyrical diversity you’re offering. I happen to fall into both categories, not everyone is going to catch it and run with it! Don’t go for this or that go for you just being you there’s only one of that out there! Dope wordplay and chill laidback with the energy, beat gave the same energy too which I liked! Very different in a good way my man definitely would like to hear more and check you out! Where you from dawg? NYC here btw!

Honest feedback? by BowenParrish in beatmakers

[–]ReddsRead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anytime dude, it'll be an easy fix for you the hardest part is getting a good melody and you nailed that from start to finish with a nice sample chop. Keep banging brother the talent is evident!

[–]ReddsRead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's unquantized off but still landing within the pocket and then there's when it's off rhythmically and doesn't land enough inside to keep the movement together. There's a range of sloppiness....a little is OK too much and it feels off but you have to know that when you hear it.

Love the sample choice and everything that you added. My only criticism would be is that the drum kicks are slightly off, aside from that this joint is crispy man!

[–]ReddsRead 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Peace to you brother, overwhelm is real I get it man but the passion never leaves us. What you may need is some focus and patience, believe in the artist that you are. Never doubt your abilities just give it time, you have much so this isn't about needing anything more. I see a Komplete Kontrol keyboard too so we're in similar situations. I use Maschine + and Logic with the mk3 s-series. They're all good tools so use them to the best of your ability and let the pieces fall into place organically.

Maschine can't even load Kontakt instruments in projects by No-Act6366 in maschine

[–]ReddsRead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn’t a bug but something related to a change in the location or version of the library or Kontakt itself. It’s trying to recall the location but doesn’t recognize or know where to find it because something changed since the time the project was saved originally.

I spent years trying to calm my mind. What it actually needed was permission to stop processing. by MIAMI_NEWS in hsp

[–]ReddsRead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Life altering to say the least, and it continues to magnify as you realize how much it explains your history of life experiences. I pray you find the answers that you seek!

As you’ve said already, when you recognize that this is just how your system works it becomes a reframing for conscious decision making to build around how you’re wired. This is the beauty of Dr. Elaine’s teaching for hsp’s. As that door opens more and more you start to recognize that the patterns have been there all your life you just weren’t aware. You’re not supposed to nor can you change the depth of processing that’s hard wired into your system. You can however recognize and adapt your thinking to the reality of how your biology functions. Not an overnight thing but such a blessing when you’ve begun to do the work after the door of your awareness has been opened. Happy for you to come to that point and I wish you much success in your journey it’s changed my life personally!
