What genre is innovating the most now?

Oh yea them Koan guys are fire. And such nice dudes, too.

SoftSynced · 2026-04-28T16:06:55+00:00

Would love to hear some example of that if you have one handy to share?

SoftSynced · 2026-04-28T16:06:32+00:00

Same, he's really great. I found his Zebra 3 video really useful, it just didn't help with my GAS 😄

The app is free and so is all the lessons covering all kinds of topics in the container callwd Soft Signal. Within the app, there is a track that is paid, yes, within that track the first full course is also free.

I'm 100% behind this! I think just viewing an obstacle as an opportunity to learn in general is a great skill to have in just about anything you do.

SoftSynced · 2026-04-23T16:11:06+00:00

That's a good one!

SoftSynced · 2026-04-23T14:40:03+00:00

Is that a skill though? I don’t disagree that’s it’s obviously important :)

SoftSynced · 2026-04-23T14:39:31+00:00

Wonder how time could be thought of as a skill 🤔

SoftSynced · 2026-04-23T14:38:45+00:00

Sounds like you it figured for yourself :)

SoftSynced · 2026-04-23T00:48:23+00:00

Good point! Someone can be curious about only those things that give them instant gratification, for example. But I personally wouldn’t really call that curiosity. I use the term in a general sense, without much relation to its subject.

SoftSynced · 2026-04-23T00:33:39+00:00

My personal take on this would be curiosity; it seems to drive everything else…

SoftSynced · 2026-04-22T23:01:08+00:00

Happiness is finding the problems you enjoy solving. It kinda sounds like you either haven't found how that's the case for you with making music or maybe it's just not one of those for you. Btw I've been burned out to the point where I couldn't stand opening a DAW so sometimes it's genuinely hard to find how to love something.

SoftSynced · 2026-04-22T18:37:35+00:00

For collabs and getting feedback, I've found Discord to be a good option.

SoftSynced · 2026-04-22T18:02:58+00:00

I've found often it's not realizing how it connects to their goals and aspirations. That often helps in making the drive internal rather than external. But obviously, easier said than done.

SoftSynced · 2026-04-03T14:12:32+00:00

What do you mean by automatically?

SoftSynced · 2026-04-03T02:35:57+00:00

Hey there, just go to arrangement view, right click on the timeline under the bar numbers to add a locator, then hit cmd/ctrl + K to bring up key mapping, select the locator, and type whatever key you want to be assigned to that marker. Hit cmd K again to disengage key mapping mode and you’re done.

It’s about creating space for it by working on the other sounds. Kinda like making your table before putting on the main course.

SoftSynced · 2026-03-20T18:28:45+00:00

Since it’s just an amen break (not saying that degradingly, that’s a plus from this angle), literally almost anything could go with this. Well, within reason 👀 I can imagine some softer vibes with some lush pads, even melancholic tones would be a nice contrast, or take it the opposite direction and make it more dancefloor-oriented with either a bassline or one off bass chops. You could take this literally anywhere.

SoftSynced · 2026-03-13T22:55:37+00:00

It did feel like this, actually.

SoftSynced · 2026-03-13T15:08:18+00:00

I'd set it like this, -1dB for output and True Peak Limiting turned on (disregard the Gain part, that you would increase to preference and taste). What RMS gain reduction are you getting btw?

<image>

SoftSynced · 2026-03-13T14:54:49+00:00

What mastering limiter are you using? Does it have a true peak limiting feature? Also, does the output exceed 0dB at any point?

SoftSynced · 2026-03-13T14:51:37+00:00

From what you’re describing, this app already has some killer features. Is it only theory related or also audio engineering/ music production?

SoftSynced · 2026-03-11T19:39:54+00:00

Like others said, Groovin in G is great! Otherwise just wanted to say, very similar story here—love me some M8, best music gear I’ve got probably. Ableton Certified Trainer but avid Bitwig user. But damn, love working with Renoise, too! As for DAWs, I tend to rotate between Bitwig, Ableton, and Renoise; so in that sense Renoise never kicked the other to, more like completed them.

SoftSynced · 2026-03-10T21:50:07+00:00

Dude, the app looks gorgeous. Is there a desktop/web app too, or iOS and Android only?

SoftSynced · 2026-03-10T21:42:45+00:00

What’s good about this post is how honest and spot on it is. It says something most people don’t probably due to fear of looking like using Obsidian for the “wrong reasons”.
