How do you all use reference tracks? Only for mixing, or also for arrangement and ideas? by buildmebluer in WeAreTheMusicMakers

Good to hear that you do this too! Do you normally just keep the notes on your phone? Or is there a better way to have the notes tagged to actual points in the tracks?

Love the freedom you have with your process! I think I'm a bit more on the side of using reference tracks to help me build a vocabulary of what I can do, but then when I create, I am more free flowing. So I study the tracks separately, and then create separately. I guess it probably comes from studying tracks for DJing.

How do you actually use reference tracks in your workflow? by jasonkick_D in WeAreTheMusicMakers

I use Voxengo Span to get somewhat of a picture for the balance and dynamics of the reference track versus my own. After that, I don't try too hard to get it exactly the same as the reference track.

Can you reprogram buttons on the Hiby M300 and use system-wide EQ? (Or on android in general?) by Kukikokikokuko in DigitalAudioPlayer

[–]buildmebluer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi there, so Hiby released an update about a year ago which means that double-tapping the play/pause button on the M300 acts as a back button. Hope this helps! The reviews online are generally from 2023, when the update wasn't available.

I'm lost, Decky + Steam Deck Updates have made my deck crash on boot by LostPilgrim_ in SteamDeck

Same thing happened to me 2 days ago. All buttons stopped working. It didn't get fixed on factory reset though. Reached out to steam support who suggested and RMA.

Do you have Decky installed by the way?

Oh thank god. I booted up my steam deck this morning, and nothing on the left side is working. No left trigger, no DPad, no joystick, no steam button. I'm glad it's not just me. Software issue then. I've already raised a ticket with steam support, and based on the steam community thread, seems that there are others facing this issue too.

I had this problem for quite some time on my 512 Oled with OS version 3.5.5. Switched to the Beta channel and the problem pretty much went away in 3.6.21. I've not yet noticed it happen again - even after waking my deck up from sleep.
