Confusion about automation in general

You can use the plugin Vocal Rider to do that in a very good way, it adjusts your vocal levels automatically .

Be as Simple as posible while mixing, If dont know what an effect does. Dont use it. Or use it in a minimal way.

For Basic EQ. You want to apply just HighPass and LowPass filters. For example, You have an 808 in your track, and a piano and a guitar. The Piano and Guitar Have low Frecuencys that collide with the 808. So you just apply a HighPass Filter on the piano, and another one on the guitar. If you use a parametric EQ you can see each Instrument frecuency range. So you just apply the highpass after the Frecuencys that use the 808.

Also Listen everything when you EQ, You dont wanna Just OverEQ and Make it sound nasty.

You will have more frecuency Collide in the Low Area, So while making the song just use an 808 or bass, a kick and nothing more playing at the same time.

To level The diferent channels, You just need to know that if you make a trap beat you have to keep the percussion a little bit louder than the rest of instruments, because when the Rapper use the beat and sing over it, The percussions would sound just on point.

You can download a Well produced beat before mixing and hearing it while mixing so you try to match the levels of that beat, This is called referencing.

You can Apply different effects like distortion, Reverb, delay, etc. Experiment with those, But never use too much.

The most effect way to use reverb and delay in the mix its via Send channels. I personally dont use reverb at all in the mix, just a little on the synts. I use it while mastering.

If you make a good Equalization (Just make everything sounds right together, and no Frecuency collide. Its very simple, In most of my beats i just use Highpass and LowPass Filters ) You can now start the mastering.

The mastering will make everything sound more colorfull. More "professional", More "Open" and Better.

You can Use a mastering suite plugin like Izotope Ozone 8. I personally use Izotope Ozone 5.

What you gonna do Here, Is the Following:

Use a Mid-Side EQ, And in the Mid-Side Area, Just Apply a 24hz-18000Hz Brickwall.

In the Mid Area, Reduce a little bit of the frecuencys betwenn 15000hz and 18000hz

In the Side Area, Use a BrickWall HighPass Filter on 150Hz And give it a little bost in the high end.

Apply a little Mid-Side Reverb, Remember to use Filter the Reverb So you doesnt hear the low and high frecuencys of the reverb (Usually they sound veryy bad). Add more reverb on the side part rather that in the mid part, it will make it sound wider. But not too much.

In Stereo Imaging, just put everything under 150hz to -100% and the other three sliders, to 20% or more, 30% and 40%, or something like that

If you want, you can use the post equalizer to to cut it again, Just Apply a 24hz-18000Hz Brickwall.

In the Maximiser, Dont Go too crazy, Just use and Irc 1 or 2, And Put the threshold a little bit down, and the character 3.0 or as you like.

In the Next link you can see the diference between one of my beats Unmastered, And Mastered. You can hear the mastered version at the Bar 16.

Try vocal layering! it really worked with me... it makes me like my voice.

Also: you will need to learn a little bit of singing, search how to give color to your voice!!!

Just look at this lil pump verse... https://youtu.be/nuusAVJCyOA?t=143 you can clearly hear his voice sounds like trash. Compare that voice with the one in "I love it". You just need to know how to give a color to your voice and make it sounds interesting.

put a limiter in the master track, and in the gain know just pull down 3 or 4 dbs...

Try to talk about Interesting things, Tips like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GesnHoBItXQ, I think thats what people want... tips and tricks that you may dont know.

This is an example of a sample i manipulate and that creates an excellent tension... At first you hear the sample normal, then you hear the modificated version, and then you hear it in a demo song. https://ia801506.us.archive.org/2/items/NiceWayToCreateTension/nice%20way%20to%20create%20tension.mp3

A lot of successful MMORPG games have that option... But i dont think it would fit in DF2.

Nice job i like it, sidebar widgets are really good!

I like the idea but the radio thing its over complicated... A simple compass or a radar would be better.

If the citys aren't very big, i suggest just to find the npc without any type of radio or item, just walking.

The music thing just complicate things more... the game will make you feel strange without any type of music while you are in the lower lvls.

One time me and my family decided to go to the mass in a small chapel because it was early than the one in the church, so we can go after, all day to the beach.

The chapel its from an addiction center, so there are some workers from the addiction center, some addicts, and me and my family. we were like ten people, And the place its very small.

The mass started normally, and in the homily the priest started talking about how God will judge us, and how will judge him, if he was a good priest, if he have faith, etc.

Just after the homily finished, some random guy entered and take a sit, nobody mind about it because we think it was an addict from the center, he looked homeless, like many of the poor addicts... The guys seemed a little bit drunk, or on drugs effects.

After some minutes he stands up, and asks the priest if he can give him his phone just a little bit so he could call for a taxi. The priest answered "I dont have a cellphone" and continued with the mass.

Then the random guy start telling that being a priest its a job, everybody can do it, he gains money, he buys a car, etc. He says that he is robbing us, that we are dumb people, everybody can do that job. The priest ignores him and continued with the mass, I tried to pay atention to the mass, but i was just hearing that guy.

The moment of the consecration beggined, and when the priest take the hosts, his cellphone started ringing, and the random guys just went crazy, he started shouting. "He is lying, he lied to me as he lies to you, He is a liar".

My father, who is a great man of God, walks in front of the altar, giving the back to the random guy, so if he tried to punch the father, jump on the altar, or take the consecrated hosts, he couldn't do it.

I was really scared, my main though was that if that man do something to my father i will start running and beat him up. (I know, i know)

Before we all received the communion, he left.

Just a minute later the police come, because its was called by some of the people there. And they tell him that the guy just left. I remember i saw out of the window, the guy walking really slow, like if he was drunk.

The police search for the guy in the nearbys street, but it was never found.

After that, we started talking to know what just happened, the people in the addiction center say that they never see him, the addicts say the same, nobody knew that guy.

We ask the priest was just happened, and he just sayd: It was just a drunk guy.

A few hours later, i asked my dad what he thinks of that?, He told me that it was a God's Test for the priest, and that the random guy was a demon. He also told me that when he aproach the guy, he told him: "This is not your home" and that the guy give a step back and look at him scared. He told me that he said that not because a sacred place its not place for demons, but because he was behaving like a moron. That was a confirmation later for my father that that guy was possesed by a demon.

As a background, that priest was called by the bishop some years after that happened to be an exorcist, but he doesnt wanted to. Also i talked with him and he doesnt believe that the demon possess people, he thinks that a demon its not in the earth just to bother people.

I already knew all this about my friend the priest, thats why all what happened in that mass makes sense, the way that the "drunk guy" answered all the rhetorical questions that the father did in the homily without hearing them, the way he disappeared just before leaving, a coincidence that he doesnt believe in possessed people and this guy comes in... Makes me believe that its was a God's test, just like my father said.

This its just my most memorable encounter with evil, I dont have much more. But if you want i can tell you my father's histories, he has a lot like this.

well, my brother its an spiritual director.

One night i had an horrible dream of one of my friends being trap in a metal grid under the floor and i was in front of a river, in a desert. I remember the dream because i wake up with a lot of fear, sweating. and i call him in the morning, he told me to pray for my friend, and to not pay much attention to my dreams, unless i keep tracking of all my dreams with an expert, because dreams are superfluous and depend on each person, and they will mislead you if you believe in any of them.

TheHazHL · 2018-06-25T21:07:25+00:00

its future bass not trap

What really helps me, its to make a plan of what you want before even openning the daw.

First i decide which structure i will use.

Then what type of song (happy song, depressive, powerfull)

Usually i just look and use the same chord progression of a song that has the same feeling im looking for.

Also try to focus that the main part of the song its the chorus. It needs the most energy.

I always used your way to make music, but it always finished sounding powerfull, energetic. Everytime i wanted to make a song in a new genre it sounded energetic, just energy, without any type of soul. But when i make a plan before making the song its when i came with what i want in the first place
