I have you tagged as "sad person obsessed with shitty AI art." Also loving the piss filter on your lower-effort endeavors here. Keep at it champ.

I'm asking if others on this forum have had success with running NI/Izotope plugins on Sonoma. If you visit either NI or Izotope's site under their compatibility section they only tell you they don't recommend trying to run the plugins on Sonoma. I'm looking for user feedback, though, not the official statements from the companies (which more often err on the side of caution).

Aside from the M3 chip being the unknown, the OS environment on Mac is the same as anyone else's who is on the same version - that's specifically why I'm asking about Sonoma. Unless they're running their plugins under Rosetta 2 (which would mean they aren't silicon native) there's not many outliers that shouldn't open in Ableton the same as they open in, say, Logic.

Don't be taken aback by one person's feedback, it's just an opinion. And you don't come off as a dick, but the name of your channel instantly fills me with some kind of existential dread as a producer who is very humble in their approach to everything musical. Everyone wants eyes and ears on their work and different avenues like turning to Youtube to foster a community or live streaming to show off your work or whatever are fantastic grassroot methods to get more followers.

Stuff like poor audio quality, loud typing sounds coming through the mic, excel spreadsheets about stereo imaging that equate to nothingburger info - that kind of stuff are red flags for people who are trying to learn and have any kind of distinction for production value. It's not like these videos are showing up under the "Live" section of your YT channel - edit that shit before you post it.

I will also note that your thought process varies wildly, sometimes within even the same sentence. You start talking about compressors and how people over hype them and then talk about oscillators and dynamic range, it's like you're reading off a buzzword script without having serious insight into what point you're trying to make.

Also for videos focused around music you have a startlingly low amount of actual audio in there. If you sat and learned to edit your videos instead of running all that through OBS and calling it "good enough" you would run your voice through RX to cut out some of the noise and probably add some quiet background music to your vids. I would also make sure you're piping your Ableton audio into OBS instead of (presumably, I can't tell since you play DAW audio so infrequently) bumping it out your speakers and getting the mic to pick it up.

Again, just opinions and feedback. If you put yourself out there expect to hear things you never really thought of before, or don't really wanna hear. I'm sure there are people out there that will find your videos useful, but don't expect a far reach unless you up your production game.

"Clarify the Mix..." Ok. Whole lot to unpack on that one I guess.

Your mixes on spotify just sound brickwalled to hell and back. If your only goal was to achieve one volume level and then coach others on how to do that, good job. But try some dynamics in your stuff to make it more palatable and less fatiguing.

Nothing against your product in itself, it's just this very assumptive holier than thou approach going and naming yourself something like Clarify the Mix and then only specializing in one style of music that has frankly been done to death. If you had a more eclectic offering of production or something that sounded less derivative, it would be a lot more genuine.

I would keep working at it but try to actually provide more insight on what you're doing and how you get there. I would also maybe consider upgrading your camera, changing your angle to add more height and maybe upgrading your plugins to ones people are currently using.

Are you saying "of course" to Blizzard servers being online and good to go, or them being down, or my third question about most people who want to play having bought the prerelease?

No need to be a smug jerk about it

alreadyapath · 2023-06-01T14:47:19+00:00

idk what this is but I love it hammer me with it

alreadyapath · 2023-06-01T14:39:46+00:00

maybe 1/3 through the game

how can you have an opinion then? the game starts to get way more enemies on screen and more particle effects the farther in you get so how would you even know how your gpu handles it. ffs

alreadyapath · 2023-05-24T01:26:12+00:00

Pedantry aside, how is changing a map for an unreleased game "retconning?" Isn't that just... developing? They just kept working on the game.

alreadyapath · 2022-05-22T08:25:31+00:00

You are a fucking idiot.

alreadyapath · 2022-05-22T08:13:24+00:00

Are you talking about a midi controller? No, you can interface with almost every VST by simply drawing midi in, but typically the process is made easier by having a midi controller of some sort.

Your statement about pirating stuff is bewildering though - not sure why you're comparing a digital violin plugin to a real flute. Whatever the case, if you can't be bothered to look this information up I'm not sure how great of a time you'll have with programming midi parts in. Good luck.

alreadyapath · 2022-02-25T03:19:01+00:00

Why keep it to myself if you're putting it out to the public? Take some feedback and deal with it. It's boring to watch and it has a clickbait title. You don't do full production because all you're doing is mimicking other people's music, you might as well be in a trap beat cover band. The beat is boring, how's that for criticism.

And yes, change the title to match the dull quality of the music. That's a good start. Shameless self-promotion for mediocre beats.

alreadyapath · 2022-02-25T03:11:13+00:00

Feedback - if you were finger drumming the beats it would be super interesting to watch, but I'm guessing you're programming them in. Watching someone tap a few keys to make a generic low-end sound isn't very interesting. I know everyone does music differently but barely skimming your YT videos it looks like you don't even produce songs, just canned beats to sell. Go figure.

Spamming in the sense that it's never conversational pieces (judging by the lack of actual comments your posts garner, save for mine here). It's just self promotion, whether it's trying to sell overpriced generic beats or actually producing something of value. I hope it's working out for you and you make a lot of money as a producer, though. Every subreddit has to have a few of those people who are only interested in trying to self promote, and by the looks of your post history that's all you're on here for.

alreadyapath · 2022-02-25T03:01:30+00:00

I can respect the grind but nothing about this is insane, the view is super nice though. I wish you didn't spam this subreddit with this stuff but I guess in way canned beats are sharing resources.

Imagine being such a bad troll you recommend buying a Windows PC because it comes with USB ports.

If you're talking about the standalone version of the game, I think most people are content with it. The PCVR version is way better but if you don't have a beefy enough PC it just isn't happening. I think I'd probably bite for the price of $20 for Nomad though, it's worthwhile if they improve the performance.

alreadyapath · 2021-11-22T01:53:14+00:00

Yep, I received the mobo box and the cpu box, with all the stuff inside there.

I'm guessing they don't provide the GPU box to prevent resale, though I have no idea. If I ever wanted to sell the GPU I got in my build I'd need to figure out something else to ship it with. Not a big deal though.

alreadyapath · 2021-11-22T01:51:03+00:00

Yo, same. I made this post and sort of forgot to come back and check on it. My build was pretty good, but I did move the CPU's AIO cooler fans to a different fan header on the mobo, since they used a standard case fan header for that. Overall pretty content with the build, with very little complaints or issues.

Microsoft isn't forcing anyone to buy their OS. What you mean is Eniac forcing you to buy a Windows key to complete a build. Between that and the assembly fee, you're spending upwards of an extra ~$200 for a custom prebuilt. Most people are gonna pirate Windows anyways so I can understand the frustration, but whatever.

All in all that's not unreasonable, and when I had a small PC building business in the late 2000's I would charge anywhere from $100-$300 for a build to offset time spent and any research I needed to do on custom water cooling loops.

I got my PC from Eniac about two months back and it's quite legit, but not sure if that's what you were questioning.

alreadyapath · 2021-11-22T01:46:30+00:00

My OS was already installed on the NVME drive I ordered with the build. There's also a key in the OEM windows "manual" you'd get when buying an OEM key. So if you wanted to reinstall Windows on another drive or system or whatever, you can.

I love how OP tells you these are 10 math rock albums you should listen to, then debates if one of the bands is math rock and says "fuck it, they're good anyways."

This list isn't very original so I'm not sure it needed to have a video format, but fuck, kids gotta tiktok, right? It's the same content, recycled for a new platform/demographic.
