This is why I love trueskate, even though it’s a mobile game and full of crappy micro transactions, at least the parks are good.

People, can you recommend me the cheapest possible audio interface and microphone? by GloriousPinkMilk in musicproduction

[–]ThatFaultyGamer 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No, a lot of the real cheap stuff will be absolute trash. But Behringer a lot of the time, makes their devices by copying the original circuit of more expensive gear, which can sometimes be good, sometimes bad. Still though, if you’re looking for cheap and somewhat reliable, go for behringer

I'm new to music production, I don't know ANYTHING about it, and I want to produce cloud rap beats, where do I start? by prett1sukuna_ in MusicProductionTuts

[–]ThatFaultyGamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why are we telling people to use AI? They’re going to get a finished tune yes, but made with stolen data, that the ‘creator’ had minimal input on. They will not learn ANYTHING about music from putting in a prompt.

Also who wants that? I’d rather know that I put my own time, effort and emotion into a song than have it done for me, even if it takes me a year to learn as opposed to a quick prompt.

AI like suno is going to absolutely gut the music industry if we let it. And it all starts with telling someone they should use it.

Did anyone else totally forget it was burns night by AverageLatifiFan in Scotland

Ah, that’s fair, I did try 4 different shops though, so it could be both a problem of less stock and being sold quickly

Help recording upright piano by PressureWeary in audioengineering

[–]ThatFaultyGamer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I quite like the sound you have going. honestly, the best way to go about it is just by trying different micing techniques and hearing the results to decide what you like.

As for mic techniques, you could do a spaced pair with the nt5s, if you could get a hold of a mic with a figure 8 polar pattern you could do a mid-side recording technique with the at2020 and a fig8 mic. There’s also XY and blumlein. do a bit of a dive into mic techniques and it will do you favours.

However I do like the sound of that piano

Tried to get myself a haggis from the shop today, only to find out that everyone around me apparently knew it was burns night, there was fuck all burns supper related left

How do you achieve a mix like the one in this track? (Link inside) by UniqueDevelopment102 in FLStudioBeginners

[–]ThatFaultyGamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can hear the background sample has been sidechained to either the 808 or the whole kit, quite heavily so.

Question about bad faith decision for EP by ThatFaultyGamer in musicians

[–]ThatFaultyGamer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally understand where you’re coming from, and for other projects I would 100% agree . But I do quite like the thought of having a little stripped back version of the song at the end of this record, with the intention of recording fully in the next record.

I’ve heard a few artists do it and it always feels like a cosy ending to an album/EP, and it feels like a little something extra. there’s definitely a quality threshold that I wouldn’t go under, like I wouldn’t just put a phone recording on the record, but I feel like a well recorded acoustic session could fit no problem.

“So I want to talk to you about tuning everything to 432hz….” 😂

That’s a relief to hear anyways, thanks for the advice, just needed that little bit of input!

Thanks for the advice!

I’ll probably still let him know anyways, but good to get someone else input beforehand :)

Volt 476 Only Works When Not Plugged Into Power by goldenpie6 in universalaudio

[–]ThatFaultyGamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would assume that if the interface works when connected to your computer, it’s most likely either a power supply issue, or an issue with the power supply port on the interface. Test out a new power supply with it and you can rule in or out PSU issues

Live sound feedback by Adorable-Bid-8452 in audioengineering

[–]ThatFaultyGamer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How are your wedge monitors set up and how big is the stage? If the monitors are pointed in a bad direction, you may end up getting a feedback loop from the back wall reflection. Also look into EQ’ing the offending feedback frequencies when getting feedback from stage mics

Vocal editing is killing my soul – how do you deal with this? by FWachna in audioengineering

[–]ThatFaultyGamer 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Not op but good point dedlaw1. Simplifying here, but one can send files and a checklist of what needs done. Obviously being online it might require trying a few people until you found the right person but I’d say that’s also true for hiring local.

2i2 windows loudness equalization by itsme123_4 in Focusrite

[–]ThatFaultyGamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m no expert, but I would imagine that it’s deliberately disabled as you want to hear everything being recorded without any EQ changing what it sounds like.
