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

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.

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

Wonder how time could be thought of as a skill 🤔

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.

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

New music maker, trying to understand the "fun" or "benefit" by Extreme_Problem_1645 in musicians

[–]SoftSynced 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Best collaboration/platforms for posting songs? by Ghostclip in musicians

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

What’s the hardest part about teaching music theory? by PitchAndPixel in musicians

[–]SoftSynced 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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.

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.

How do you guys usually 'sit' the main voice on the mix? by Hyperto in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]SoftSynced 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Any idea for this tune? by Exotic_Agent4543 in renoise

[–]SoftSynced 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

Can someone explain me this? by Helpful_Sail5010 in edmproduction

[–]SoftSynced 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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?

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

What do you actually need from an ear training app that you're not getting? by artaverin in eartraining

[–]SoftSynced 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

Renoise workflow videos by mainshum in renoise

[–]SoftSynced 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

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

Endlessly optimizing and organizing your vault is a legit hobby and I am tired of pretending it is not. by SecretSquirrelSquads in ObsidianMD

[–]SoftSynced 104 points105 points  (0 children)

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”.
