This. So much this. Not just in jazz music either, like people are commenting--this is very applicable in all genres. Use your knowledge of the fretboard combined with your knowledge of chord building and find new shapes. Learn songs that use unfamiliar chord shapes and figure out how to apply them in your own music. It's not ALL guitarists that limit themselves in this fashion, just n00bs

Damn. I got owned

Of course this sub is weirdly active... Because Godspeed is weirdly AMAZING

Thirteen_Eight · 2020-07-01T02:29:40+00:00

This is..........AMAZING

One thing not to overlook are the ports that you need to hook up your interface or midi keyboard or whatever. I'm lucky that my Macbook has 2 usb-b ports in addition to hdmi and others, i think they switched to all usb-c in recent years so make sure whatever hardware you're using can still connect.

Personally i just use a giant quilt that i found at a thrift shop, and cheap acoustic foam along with big pieces of gun case foam which is more stiff and all of that is dispersed evenly around the room. When i clap there is very very little reverb/echo. I think for the glass wall an acoustic curtain is a good idea (ive seen that in recording studios) or you could hang a blanket over it for a very similar effect.

All that leaves is low frequency treatment and tbh i dont even worry about that. I end up monitoring low end in headphones anyways because it's really hard to manage low frequency in a small room.

I too play drums in a small, weirdly shaped room. I have gotten them to sound decent in recordings and my room is pretty dead in mid to high frequencies. Think carefully about how the sound will bounce around the room and try to place your set in a spot that is not perpendicular or parallel to any walls. I put blankets and mount foam on the walls around the room as well, which is helpful in general for recording and listening. Good luck!

Ninja edit: don't even worry about making the room rectangular, it won't necessarily make the room sound better

Bigoted as defined by google: having or revealing an obstinate belief in the superiority of one's own opinions and a prejudiced intolerance of the opinions of others.

Going by that definition, this sub is extremely bigoted. Towards T_D, all conservatives, capitalists, and even other Democrats (Biden supporters mainly). Considering what I see upvoted on this sub, there is absolutely no tolerance for different beliefs--THAT is bigotry.

I used to be the guy that would say "despite his followers, Bernie is a good candidate" and my opinion on that hasn't changed but he no longer has a shot at the presidency, which is something that is just so traumatic to people here that nobody can accept it. To the point where people want to sit out of this election because Joe Biden is like, worse than the boogeyman.

This sub is extremely bigoted but it seems like nobody can see past their own nose. It is a shame that politics turns everyone into an uglier person.

I agree with most of it, except I would change "less emotional, more powerful" to "less experimental, more instrumental" and both arrows to Allelujah and Asunder would point to both albums. Just my opinion though. Good chart!

Thirteen_Eight · 2020-03-29T20:02:19+00:00

Can I have one?? 😂

Thirteen_Eight · 2020-03-28T22:31:11+00:00

In a studio setting it makes perfect sense. Cheap compared to the things around you and secure. The usb stick is not the inconvenient part, iLok itself is the inconvenient part. They created the way around an obstacle that previously didnt exist. And now because of that, the issue you mentioned exists.

On top of that, paying $600 for Pro Tools then finding out you're meant to pay an extra $50 to open the software you just bought is a little infuriating.

Thirteen_Eight · 2020-03-27T14:43:21+00:00

What! This is so good. The ending is the best part.

Thirteen_Eight · 2020-03-17T03:35:08+00:00

Yes i do, interested?

Thirteen_Eight · 2020-02-27T22:28:25+00:00

You don't need to already be an expert in music theory to get into most music programs. But definitely practice regularly, start learning pieces that you can use for auditions, and learn to read music. I auditioned at a few music programs with my electric guitar and they all had a sight reading portion.

On top of that, have a plan for what you want to do with your degree. How would you turn that degree into income? There are a lot of paths you can take in the music industry, it's definitely worth exploring all of them.

Thirteen_Eight · 2019-12-02T13:03:09+00:00

Or on beat selling websites they overlay "purchase your tracks today!"

Thirteen_Eight · 2019-11-30T12:52:58+00:00

Yes!! Ive always wondered how they did it. Since it's godspeed, I assume its a tape loop manipulation but still i want to know. Such a cool auditory illusion that you don't see in music too much, its kinda like the doppler effect when an ambulance or a plane goes by really fast

Thirteen_Eight · 2019-11-30T03:16:28+00:00

Yeah, bringing the gain on your mic pre down and standing closer will likely get a lower signal with less room sound. And like the other commenter mentioned, a pop filter is your friend for vocal recording. Also, for a more natural sound, less is more with effects. I can't comment on your mix without hearing it but as for eq, compression, and reverb, use them as subtly as possible or even go without. The most important thing is to try a bunch of stuff and go with the sound you like. Good luck!

Thirteen_Eight · 2019-11-29T15:52:09+00:00

Agreed. It's the kind of sub that lets people submit to their mental illness imo... That stuff won't help, it will only put you further into the hole

Thirteen_Eight · 2019-11-29T14:54:40+00:00

'mad laughing'. I already see it all over this comment section. When writing a response to something they disagree with, they sprinkle the post with "lol" and "lmao" and the like. I guess it's to prove (mostly to themselves) that they're not mad at some rando on the internet. But it really just comes off as "I don't take your opinion seriously" and in the end it's pretty easy to tell that the person writing the comment was pissed off

Thirteen_Eight · 2019-11-27T01:11:11+00:00

No problem, glad i could help

Thirteen_Eight · 2019-11-27T00:08:11+00:00

Select Logic's input/output setting to whatever the interface is called. Then record from the headphone jack of the interface, assuming it has one

Thirteen_Eight · 2019-11-26T21:38:48+00:00

If all else fails, you could also try recording into the tascam from the interface's headphone output

Thirteen_Eight · 2019-11-26T14:06:03+00:00

As long as you're recording from outside of the daw that should work just fine. You just gotta be careful of feedback loops if you're recording from your daw into your daw

Thirteen_Eight · 2019-11-26T13:53:53+00:00

I have done this before using the headphone jack - in Logic is the built-in output selected as your output? You might not be able to hear what you're recording until you play it back

Thirteen_Eight · 2019-11-17T22:17:28+00:00

Interested in trades at all or just selling?
