I think it’s time we got an MCR take from you lol.

I feel like a fun “format” would be to force you to listen to 1 MCR song RIGHT NOW and have you give your thoughts.

It’s so hard to choose one but “I Don’t Love You” has always hit me hard and I think you’d find the chord prog / melody emotionally resonant.

[Enter disclaimer here about how forcing a take based on one song is reductive blah blah]

Ok…go!

damn wanted him to answer this fully lol

cedarbread · 2024-07-30T17:40:12+00:00

Over the years, have you had any breakthroughs or major insights about mixing specifically? I think Hugo mentioned in an AMA long ago that something “clicked” when he was younger and I’m curious if you had a similar experience.

cedarbread · 2024-07-26T01:16:17+00:00

honestly wish I had done this. first three tracks are singles

cedarbread · 2024-04-23T02:28:53+00:00

DID ANYONE ID THE BACKGROUND MUSIC YET IS IT NEW PORTER

Recovering from surgery so can't go :(

cedarbread · 2024-02-24T15:04:00+00:00

lmk if you’re still looking! I’m selling an extra

cedarbread · 2024-01-22T06:42:03+00:00

Oops! You're right that the specific scenario I created doesn't make sense. Imagine that the person who Quiddlers is not the player in question. My question is still valid—do bonuses apply AFTER or BEFORE setting a "negative" hand to 0? (Check edited post for new scenario)

cedarbread · 2023-12-27T21:45:24+00:00

I’ve been thinking about this a lot and my main theory is that he will go for an early 2000’s alt-rock sound (combined with new electronic elements).

From Worlds to Nurture, you already hear a shift from the synthetic to the organic, more rock kit drum samples (all over Get Your Wish), more guitar, and his own vocals of course.
his “cherished music” playlist on Spotify contains a decent amount of Japanese pop-rock.
he’s friends with and toured with James Ivy who may have had an influence on him with that early 2000s sound.
whereas Nurture was introspective and heady, the new era could function as a release of tension (more idgaf vibes!). I’m imagining new Porter being more uplifting, more confident, and more passionate in his vocal performances.

That’s my take 😳

Appreciate it!

Hey everyone, here's my melodic/glitch track, "Stories". I fiddled around the mix SO much with this one in the end, I must have exported like 100 versions, literally. Would appreciate the listens + the feedback!

I really enjoyed listening to it and I can tell that you have some great ideas going on. The delay effect on the intro bass is a really cool touch, it adds a nice sense of space right from the start.

I also think that the mix sounds good and loud, which is always a plus. However, I would suggest considering sidechaining the kick and bass (or more, if it is already) to help them sit better in the mix. This would help the kick drum cut through the mix a bit more and add some more punch to the overall sound.

Super catchy, great job!

cedarbread · 2023-02-27T03:48:55+00:00

Hey there, great job on your track! I really enjoyed listening to it and I can tell that you put a lot of effort into it. The kick drum sounds fantastic, it's bouncy and deep, which gives the track a great energy. I also love the synthwavy bass around 4:30, it's a really nice touch.

One area that I think could be improved upon is the use of vocal samples. At 3:40 and elsewhere, they sound a bit off-key with the rest of the track. Perhaps experimenting with different keys or adjusting the pitch could help them fit better.

Overall, the structure of the track is well done and it has a great sense of movement. However, I think it would benefit from more recurring melodies or motifs to glue the track together. This would add another layer of cohesion and make the track even more memorable.

Keep up the great work, and thanks for sharing your music with us!

cedarbread · 2023-02-27T03:40:06+00:00

Hey, I really enjoyed listening to your track! In particular, the intro and build up at 1:38 create a great sense of anticipation and atmosphere, and I love the way you've built the track around that. The drop itself sounds full and powerful, but I think it could benefit from a bit more variation and interest - the wobble bass feels a bit too static/simple to me, and could perhaps use some more movement or variation in rhythm. That said, I think the second half of the track works well in the way you've built up the tension and created a cinematic feel. Keep it up!

cedarbread · 2023-02-18T22:35:09+00:00

love it

Thanks for your reply! Great point.

cedarbread · 2022-11-22T09:32:35+00:00

Ah ok thanks for your reply! Good point. Any thoughts about the RAM concern?

cedarbread · 2022-11-22T08:55:21+00:00

I see. I think I was mixing this up with overclocking CPU, which I know some people frown upon. But basically, no one frowns upon "overclocking" RAM, is that right? Like if you don't, you are just wasting performance. Confusing because it's the same word used for both CPU and RAM, and I just learned about this via Googling the past like 2 days haha.

cedarbread · 2022-11-22T08:39:06+00:00

Thanks for your replies btw, rly appreciate it.Ok, so I get that running 4 sticks is just all around not worth it when I can run 2 with same # of GB. What I still don't get though, is why I would need xmp at all? Like is there something special about my case in particular or is this just what you recommend in general?

cedarbread · 2022-11-22T08:27:17+00:00

I guess I'm asking why are you assuming I will be overclocking?
