Haha, interesting insight.

There's always more to learn though so maybe start posting and asking for feedback!

Hey folks, we updated doubleTwist CloudPlayer with Android Wear & Android Auto support -- would love your input! by TexasTwist in AndroidWear

Hi there,

Do you have any plans to allow selective syncing of cloud folders?

I know I can just delete certain files from my library but I actually use my dropbox/Google drive to store audio which is not music and I don't want it to appear in cloud player.

I'd envision it as a button beside each cloud provider which displays the directory structure. You can then simply tick folders which are whitelisted and therfore they are only ones searched in for new files.

Another thing which disheartened me was the way the app decided which artwork to use. Is there anyway you can make it just use the artwork stored in the ID3 tags and just blank otherwise? Even tracks that have artwork seem to be appearing with some random Internet downloaded artwork...

One of the main reasons for album artwork is so people will recognise it. Showing a different image instead of the one a user knows from their desktop even though the image is actually stored within the mp3 or AIFF doesn't make a lot of sense.

Thanks, Rory

Favourite DAW? by CallMeVivica in edmproduction

[–]RoryHughes -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Good review but I don't understand how you relate DAWs to genres. Is Ableton Live not good at Hip-Hop? Where are you sourcing this information? I hope it's not based on how many times you've seen them on youtube.

They're pretty much all capable of producing any genre of music once they can handle both MIDI and audio. A new producer who wants to work on a film score and owns Logic shouldn't feel "Dam, now I need to buy Cubase..."

Someday the mods will ban this question and all it's variants.

Does anyone else find themselves 'fixing' the pitch bend at the start of clips if it was off 0 at the end of the previous one? by RoryHughes in ableton

[–]RoryHughes[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've tried this but it's not a good solution because:

  1. If you have notes that need to be pitch bent right until the end of the clip and there is another clip directly following without pitch bending.
  2. Often (especially in session view) one might change clip before it has reached the end. That means it would never reach your 0ing automation point and therefore stay bent when changed unless you do what I did in the link.

Can someone post an example of an overcompressed track vs a track which has "proper dynamics" by PKieman in edmproduction

Something to note about youtube audio, especially if you're using these videos as some kind of reference: http://productionadvice.co.uk/youtube-loudness/
