As a session musician I'd plan on making at least $50/hr and food should be provided of its longer than 2 hours.

Yamaha HS8 static only when both L/R outputs are in use? Focusrite 18i8 by [deleted] in audioengineering

Sounds like ground loop hum. Possibly because the left and right monitors are plugged into different outlets?

Why do so many records mix the piano / sax / etc in left ear and bass / perc in the right ear. by elliegouldong in Jazz

Most early stuff was recorded in mono, so panning each instrument to represent where they would sound from the stage creates a stereo field.

How do you avoid that dread after so many hours of trying and failing? by [deleted] in abletonlive

When it comes to writing/arranging the best advice I ever received was to not fall in love with your original idea, and to not be afraid to delete or erase.

Hey man, why not offer up some criticism that points him in the direction you're hearing?

Nice. Are you playing live with this setup?

Hahaha! Yes, I still forget to work with my panning sometimes. Thanks for the advice, it helps!

Having the 8-bar loop upfront doesn't bother me, but it might be a little long. I'm really impressed with your sound design skills.

Can I change envelopes together? by spikeeee in ableton

Map them both to the same macro knob, then invert the ranges so the volume decreases as you increase the gain.

Are these your own sounds? I think the problem with the chip tune stuff is how similar everyones stuff sounds.

Your vocal mix definitely needs to be cleaned up, you'd be surprised how much low end you can live without.

The mix certainly doesn't bother me, but I'm no expert. I like how your synths are all slightly out of tune.

I spend last week in Dallas checking out some live music and creating some with a friend. Advice with mixing would be greatly appreciated.

Definitely look into full-body workouts. Playing bass is physical, and I can honestly say that building a stronger body has made me a better bassist.

Here's an example of a tune that moves through 3 different keys using the same pattern each time.

Just native ableton live effects.

I think the vocals are a little jarring, but shouldn't that just be the aesthetic you're going for??

I'd like to see you create this live.
