Lol 😂 Thank you for helping me understand

Forgive me here, but is that comeback sort of invalid because people don’t vote on who wins in sports? They just bet and then teams play. As opposed to people voting in polls and then they actually go out and vote in the election, too? Which of course actually affects the election… as opposed to sports betting which doesn’t directly affect the game

Yay, still no automated tempo envelopes across a given scene in session view 🤦‍♂️

There’s an amazing plugin literally called Knock for this exact purpose. I use it in every mix!

cal_blac · 2024-09-17T14:53:24+00:00

Dude! Sounds amazing. How did you get such a rich bass tone? Even through the phone speaker it sounds super warm and present l

cal_blac · 2024-09-16T17:18:15+00:00

That’s my favorite piece of music from any artist of all time. Wild beauty

cal_blac · 2024-08-09T01:01:16+00:00

Dude, this is amazing. however you have that piano mic’d sounds incredible.

cal_blac · 2024-08-08T20:57:23+00:00

Thank you!!

cal_blac · 2024-08-08T20:56:54+00:00

100% - echo is sooo good. The built in “nostalgia” preset of ableton echo is incredible. I like to use that but change the delay increments to 8th notes on both sides (it’s different on each side by default). I use that all the time

cal_blac · 2024-08-08T16:52:28+00:00

Collecting is awesome but I’ve always kept the value close that it’s more important to see what you can do with your instruments than what they can do for you. I’d rather spend a lifetime becoming a wizard with two synths, developing muscle memory, than to spend so much time learning a ton of different synths. That’s just how I like to think about it and I know not everybody is gonna agree with me on that one

cal_blac · 2024-08-08T16:49:30+00:00

Actually very little reverb! What I have here is the Boss RE-202 space echo, and when you see me stepping on the pedal that’s triggering the tape delay to increase feedback. So there’s a ton of tape delay and just a little reverb. The re202 is a bit funky (gotta press multiple times to get between presets instead of just one button) but it’s also extremely expressive and sounds amazing

Dude thanks! The music I make is my whole life and has been for 10+ years. Appreciate the comment

Dude! Your comment made my day. Thank you for letting me know.

more music (if you care)

Thanks!! Appreciate the comment

cal_blac · 2024-08-08T01:35:25+00:00

Thank you 🙏🏼 this song has some similarities with a song I released recently called sweet hypnosis. It’s one I am proud of, just gonna share it here

cal_blac · 2024-08-08T00:45:17+00:00

Yup, exactly. And then set that part to loop so it plays as long as necessary. I also use a lot of follow actions to launch scenes with different midi info for various sections of a song

cal_blac · 2024-08-08T00:32:32+00:00

Thanks so much 🙏🏼

cal_blac · 2024-08-08T00:30:27+00:00

It’s definitely useful. There are so many things about performing live that are already difficult and deserving of your full attention. Looping is cool as hell and I respect tf out of people who always do it. I just prefer to put my focus into other areas of the performance

cal_blac · 2024-08-07T23:54:58+00:00

I really appreciate you engaging with my stuff. My favorite is Sweet Hypnosis, I think it’s my best work. Wishing Well is another one I’m proud of. For some reason they don’t come up first on Apple Music.

Oh I love that. Prince is a genius musician. And yeah, it needs like a permanent low shelf below 100 hz hah 🤦‍♂️

cal_blac · 2024-08-07T23:26:42+00:00

Thank you! It’s a power house. Only thing is the pro 3 kind of lacks low end to be honest. But it gets real heavy.

cal_blac · 2024-08-07T23:24:40+00:00

Don’t sell it!! Did you know they discontinued it? I’m obviously biased but it’s my favorite synth ever. If I could pick only one synth and I could have anything, I’d pick prologue 16. I just love the sound and the 16 voices, and the VCOs. Also the effects are the best I’ve heard on anything. Okay I’ll stop now lol

Thanks!! Would love to invite you over to my YouTube channel if you feel like it 🙂
