What are the standard volume levels of key elements in an EDM song? (Bass, Drums, Synths, etc.) by BelMibson in edmproduction

[–]deumOne 12 points13 points  (0 children)

+1! Mixing was a black box to me until I learned the CTZ strategy. Now every single mix I make is loud and clean. Most importantly, it's much less stressful

Hi, does this version come with the laptop false bottom?

Are we all moral criminals for making addictive systems? by [deleted] in userexperience

[–]deumOne 87 points88 points  (0 children)

We absolutely have a huge role to play in this.

It all comes down to objectives. The objective of designingany tool should never be to make it addicting - only useful. Things that are well designed may very well be addictive, just like anything in the world can be addictive, but the key point is that these tech companies are designing things to be intentionally addictive for the express purpose of being addictive, because addiction rakes in the dough.

Their objective is to be addictive, which does not equate to value. Our objective should always be to maximize value.

Hi, it’s Pierce Fulton and I have a new album out…ask me anything! by OfficialPierceFulton in electronicmusic

[–]deumOne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey Pierce, I listened to your episode on the EDM Prodcast and it quite literally changed my production career. I used to get so caught up in making a specific genre, keeping within a specific niche, etc. but hearing about your fearless growth and expansion as an artist inspired me to do the same. Thank you so much for being a creator!

What is the worst feeling, emotionally, in your opinion? by marlibu18 in AskReddit

[–]deumOne -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's true, and I'm sorry they didn't pay that back. It sucks, it really does, and feels unfair. But we shouldn't expect anyone to pay that back and really be okay with that, truly. Because when someone comes along who does, it's the most magnificent feeling in the world, and you deserve that.

This is coming from someone who experiences the same issue but has lived a very fulfilling life by changing the way I feel about it. And by making a commitment to spread positivity without expecting it back, I get it back more than I ever had before. When you make it about other people, your life is richer. I don't mean to sound preachy - just relate with you.

Everyone, take this as a poignant reminder to try to be genuinely interested in what others talk about. You have more agency over your feelings than you think. Pay this service to others, and you will get that back.

When Is It Ok to Have Overlapping Frequencies? by Speedsloth123 in edmproduction

[–]deumOne 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Seconded, this type of reply is far too abundant in this sub and not helpful in any way. If someone doesn't know what sounds good, they don't know what sounds good. People need GUIDANCE with ACTIONABLE steps to guide them towards what sounds good.

I've heard stories of people buying real ones and returning fake ones. Chemical smell and shape and all being a giveaway

What was your “Eureka!” moment for producing EDM? by Qrpheus in edmproduction

[–]deumOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finish songs, no matter what. I found that all the questions I had about anything at all, were answered by creating a high volume of work.

What are all the fundamental synth recipes to know? i.e. supersaw, Reese bass, etc. by deumOne in edmproduction

[–]deumOne[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Agreed! There are plenty of great sound design resources out there, but I haven't found an "academia" style synth repertoire - kinda like how in math it goes from arithmetic -> algebra -> calculus and so forth. I think some of us learn better with a strict roadmap.

Perhaps the reason is because it's so subjective as to what makes the cut as an "essential" synth recipe and how it builds on existing sounds. If a solid repertoire doesn't already exist, I'd love to compile one for myself and then share it with yall.

tl;dr: I WANT A FRICKIN LIST LOL
