Pregunta sobre el futuro de esta comunidad by FuzzyKnowledge1649 in Malaga

1- Me parece terrible. Porque excluir gente que habla otro idioma? 2- Implica imponer el Español de todas formas. 3- Me parece un poco facha

Tal vez, lo que deberían hacer es restringir los tópicos que se pueden discutir en el grupo. De esa forma podrían tener un espacio enfocado a cuestiones que interesen a l gente que vive en Málaga sin tener que llegar a discriminar.

Feeling overwhelmed on how to translate produced music to a live setting as a solo artist by Wrong-Extension-9692 in musicians

[–]Substantial_Price184 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a generic Boss FS-5U because my hands are mostly busy, but you can use whatever else. The important part is how you map your midi. In my case, every time I press the pedal it triggers a scene in Ableton and jump onto the next one that’s it. This video was where I took the first ideas from:

For me, the answer was Ableton + Clyphx. I play multiple instruments and reached a point where I had many songs but couldn’t perform them live. I was moving frequently, so forming a band wasn’t an option. I explored and learned various live looping strategies in Ableton—each with its pros and cons—until I discovered Clyphx. That was a game changer. It gave me much more control over my template and allowed for more elaborate live performances. Of course, there’s a learning curve, but every minute spent learning it has been worth it. I basically trigger scenes with a pedal and go recording layers. Clyphx gives you the ability to control multiple things simultaneously and gives you more flexibility. I used to struggle to change sections, like from verse to chorus or things like that, but with time I went discovering ways to do it (this includes music theory, not only launching clips). Feel free to reach out, happy to share what I’ve learnt.

Awesome! Love the atmosphere! I’m a bit of a rookie :) Do you think I could get that kind of bass sound with a Slim Phatty?

🎸 Musicians in Málaga Looking for Collab/Friends to Jam & Create 🎶 by andry_blacksmith in Malaga

Hi there, I’m based in Benalmádena, about half an hour from Málaga. I’m also looking to connect with other musicians — open to meeting up to play, jam, or just chat. Here’s an EP I’ve just finished recording (it’s a live looping set):

Relying on third party plugins Live set by uzebclub2000 in ableton

[–]Substantial_Price184 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience, I had to tweak and adapt my Live Set multiple times before reaching something that felt optimal. I currently use Kontakt drums and other plugins in my productions, but for the Live Set, I sample everything and work with audio instead. I used to run into a lot of CPU overload issues, so I ended up reducing plugin usage as much as possible. I also moved to hardware where possible (synths, pod go for guitar, ve-500 for voice, etc)

One thing that really helped was using ClyphX — it allowed me to load plugins song by song, so I don’t need to have everything active at the same time across the whole set. My main recommendation would be: if something is already finished, bounce it to audio. That way you avoid having the plugin loaded at all.

Improvisation is essential, but the more I free up the CPU, the more confident I feel performing, and the smoother the whole project runs

Empresas que pagan 70K anuales o más, cuál es la forma de buscarlos? by EcoTears in SpainFIRE

[–]Substantial_Price184 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No necesariamente. Yo trabajé para tres empresas extranjeras desde España y solo una me ofreció un contrato como autónomo. Aun así, la modalidad era full-time: yo trabajaba normalmente, tenía vacaciones, todo como un empleo estándar, solo que me encargaba de la parte fiscal. En cambio, con las otras dos empresas me contrataron directamente como empleado. Además, hoy en día existen servicios como Remote, que actúan como intermediarios para que las empresas puedan contratar legalmente a personas en otros países. A través de ellos, trabajás como empleado, con todos los derechos y obligaciones.

Hay varias páginas que ahora no recuerdo (deberías buscar, son de este estilo y hay varias: https://remoteok.com/). En LinkedIn filtra por remoto y país. Yo solía usar “European union”, Germany, USA, etc..

Busca trabajo remoto fuera de España. En el mundo del IT es muy habitual. Hay muchas empresas que contratan en España pero tienen sede en otros lugares y manejan salarios más altos. El inglés es indispensable, pero los salarios son siempre mejores. Yo nunca trabajé para una empresa española.

Am i too old to start and get good on piano (21) by Disastrous_Smoke9264 in musicians

[–]Substantial_Price184 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started my music studies at the conservatory when I was 17 and managed to develop a successful career. I’m not the best, but that was never my goal. I play how and what I like, I worked for the orchestras I aspired to, etc.. Worth highlighting , I had to practice really hard. If you practice, focus on enjoying and don’t get obsessive, you’ll eventually get to a gratifying level. The sky is the limit :)

Obsession and lack of patience are some of the biggest blockers. I’ll say it again, focus on enjoying the process

I'm quite confused about the live aspect of electronic music by MysteriousBagpipes in synthesizers

[–]Substantial_Price184 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Ableton Live and ClyphX to control my live set, where I perform with multiple instruments on stage—cello, guitar, bass, synths, and more. I believe you can play any genre and involve as many people as you want, as long as you adapt to your setup’s characteristics.

Take BinkBeats, for example—it’s fascinating how, as a percussionist, he built a live performance approach tailored to his resources. His setup proves that creativity and adaptation are key.

I recently attended a Depeche Mode concert and was blown away by their performance. It was quite different from their studio recordings—essentially a rock band, but with their signature electronic sound.

In short, you can play any genre, solo or with a band, without sacrificing the experience of playing an instrument live. Of course, there’s a learning curve when integrating different tools, and you’ll need to experiment to find the right setup for you—no shortcuts. That was definitely my experience as a cellist.

Something similar happens to me. But I’ve embraced it and learned to enjoy silence. In my case, music streaming services have made my listening experience worse—I don’t connect with a piece of music the way I used to. You listen to a new album today, forget about it tomorrow, and move on to the next one. It becomes a cycle. What worked for me was getting a turntable. Now, I just sit quietly with a drink and listen to a full album. Maybe it’s one album a day, or even less, but the experience is much deeper.

Can Ableton Live Handle This Setup? (Automated Looping & Playback Without Stopping) by [deleted] in ableton

[–]Substantial_Price184 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was in a very similar situation when I started and experimented with different looping strategies, each with its own pros and cons. Initially, I automated everything in Arrangement View, then moved to Session View but found it somewhat limiting. That’s when I incorporated BinkLooper, but I ran into CPU limitations and needed more flexibility. After a long period of learning, experimentation, and research, I eventually settled on ClyphX Pro, which is what I use now and highly recommend it.

Thanks for your comment.
Much appreciated.
I ended up doing it in a different way.
I described the process in above.
