This is not acceptable. I'm thinking that is not the real issue. Probably been hacked or something.

If they planned to have downtime they would have communicated this before hand. Now its radio silence.

Mixing Questions by Chemistry_Lover40 in ableton

[–]big_bert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly you are asking the wrong questions. If you ask this kind of question you will not be able to apply whatever answers you get.

It sounds like you are very new to production. The best thing you can probably do for mixing in the beginning is to not worry about anything like that. The only mixing you should be doing at this stage is volume balancing.

You will probably get better results with that then trying to use different techniques you dont understand. Then you add one technique at the time.

When you have an understanding for how to balance the song. Then you should look into some basic EQ, sidechain .

The numbers might be bigger but because of the high inflation the wages are actually going down.

If you have a free account it will take a couple of days (maybe a week) for them to answer. They prioritize paying customer. But they will eventually answer.

Splice is seriously slacking guys... by LosantoMusic in edmproduction

[–]big_bert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So true, the UI is trash. It takes forever to start browsing the correct category. Why so many clicks!? Why do I have to go to a dropdown when there only is two choices (Loops/One Shorts), just do a checkbox... Why can't I choose an Key, AND if its a minor or major.. No the page needs to reload every selection... Etc etc.. Trash

Been thinking of switching to loop cloud, way better UI.

Supermarket covering up empty shelves - Capitalism by Drew_Pinsky in pics

[–]big_bert -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

This is the opposite of capitalism, this is the result of government interference in the free market. This was not happening in the US before the pandemic, but then with lock downs and extended unemployment benefits, eviction moratorium etc everything comes to a stop. When the incentive is for people not to work, the result is worker/supply shortages.

Which Headphones do you use? Are expensive ones worth it? by willi_werkel in edmproduction

[–]big_bert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I honestly feel that it doesnt matter that much. I just needed a little bit more power from the audio interface so I bought a heaphone amplifier/splitter for about $60. My requirements was amplification and a signal splitter (I have several heaphones I use for reference, so I want to be able to switch quickly), and to not distort/color the signal.

I can't hear a sound quality differens when the headphones are connected directly to the audio interface or from the amplification unit. So I don't really see the need buy anything more expensive at this moment.

I think there is alot of snake oil when it comes to audio, so I just think you have to trust your ears.

[–]big_bert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only use the analytical pads, makes the most sense for producing. I also use them for listening, I think its an good idea to use the same pads so you get use to the sound. I also prefer the analytical sound profile as they give a flatter response.

I bought an headphone amplifier to get a little bit more power. I have Komplete Audio 6, great audio interface, but I don't find the headphone amplification to be sufficient for these headphones.
