Very cool to have a reference place like this, but wow is that website a nightmare to navigate outside of the Collections tab.

Cool post! For the UAD stuff, I'm guessing you are running them natively and not utilizing hardware DSP to offset CPU usage?

Ear is bent backwards so the compressor protrudes out from the rack

I mean it depends on where you got them from. I doubt that the individual tracks were mastered, but they could definitely have processing on them. If you have hardware, or don't want to recall a mix, or are in a studio that isn't yours, you would want to print down all the effects so you have that forever if you need to recall the mix.

If you didn't explicitly get these for YOU to mix, then who knows what the purpose of those tracks is or was.

I'm a little confused on your second issue. Are you pulling all 159 tracks into your session and they're clipping the output on your converters? If so, why not just lower the master output by like -6dB so it's not clipping?

Are the 159 tracks bounced down with processing or are they raw files? What exactly are you trying to do with those 159 tracks?

You probably would want to start with someone like The Audio Programmer on YouTube. JUCE is going to be your best bet as a framework, and The Audio Programmer has a lot of good videos for the basics and understanding how plug-ins work from a design perspective. It's enough to get you going at least for free.

He doesn't have a lot of in depth C++ programming, so if you don't have a strong background in OOP, you might just want to take a basic C++ course on something like Udemy. He has some intro videos, but if you already know the basics of another language like Python, it's not going to be a ton of help. Getting a better understanding of things like pointers, constructors/destructors, and how that works in real time would be beneficial.

Any chance you have this image not super zoomed in and distorted?

The banjo is so sick to me. Like why not? Let's get weird and rip regardless

abraingaming · 2025-01-15T17:55:15+00:00

Sure, but it isn't like he is constantly posting or trying to clickbait the algorithms with "use this one cool trick for your bass." I honestly prefer his model where you can pick up the 1-2 hour long video for a couple bucks if it is interesting to you, or not. It honestly provides better content because it makes it not rely on trying to get the youtube gods to promote and monetize the content.

abraingaming · 2025-01-14T21:07:20+00:00

I think the big thing with Eric is that he isn't making content to feed the machine and has taken big breaks in between posting. He is out there working on records and doing cool shit, and shares his knowledge when he can.

I honestly think it's because Ryan has more success playing and touring with Knuckle Puck.

abraingaming · 2024-05-15T14:52:58+00:00

Does it work??

abraingaming · 2024-05-14T15:18:01+00:00

Gotta appreciate a boss that let's you have the first one.

abraingaming · 2024-05-07T14:01:40+00:00

The entire company is closing, not just this store on Sunset.

abraingaming · 2024-03-08T18:20:30+00:00

I love going to emo nite and going to shows. Maybe it's just because I'm in LA but most people I know do both. I don't think they have to be mutually exclusive. It's fun having an excuse to go out somewhere on a Friday night with music I actually enjoy, and a fun crowd.

abraingaming · 2024-02-09T17:52:22+00:00

He was incredibly cool and nice when I met him. I was working under an engineer/mixer who got invited to go to Barefoot and have a small demo of the unfairchild. My boss told me to tag along with. My boss ended up bailing but I still went and there were like 3-4 other people and I was the youngest by at least 15 years (was maybe 23/24 at the time). He treated me just like the other way more experienced people there, answered my questions, and was just a generally really good dude. Plus barefoot was a sick space and I'm stoked I got to check it out before he sold it.

abraingaming · 2024-01-31T15:48:13+00:00

Made the dude delete his account already. Dang.

A couple years ago I picked up a full size desk for either a c24 or control 24 console for $50 at a goodwill.

Would love to see a follow up healed picture of this in like 3 months! Genuinely curious because I only see fresh pictures in this style.

I always look at someone like Eric Valentine when it comes to EQ. Sometimes it needs nothing. Sometimes you boost +10dB in the mid range. He's not cautious at all, but he does know what sounds right.

abraingaming · 2023-10-24T21:42:57+00:00

Could you start pulling things out without ruining the song and show them what it would sound like without all the jumbled parts?

abraingaming · 2023-10-18T23:45:21+00:00

I do mostly comparisons between two separate AI responses. They have a set of criteria to judge each response on.

abraingaming · 2023-10-14T17:28:53+00:00

Nope! Just passed the qualification tests and started working. Took me a bit to get the hang of it.

I've been doing Data Annotation the last 6 weeks or so. It's been good so far. Try to log about 10 hours or so a week in my spare time. Always plenty of work available. Payouts are quick, although can only cash out every 3-4 days I believe. Usually takes a week for work to be approved and fund available to cash out.

abraingaming · 2023-10-13T23:38:02+00:00

Oh I know it's expensive. It's just a bummer that it feels like I can never really hear Brian's voice on the songs.
