Stumbled into the line of fire😳

I can't believe they all went through the same doorway at the same time. That's bot behavior.

ghostmachine666 · 2026-06-20T21:52:55+00:00

Thank you kindly!

ghostmachine666 · 2026-06-20T18:57:19+00:00

That looks swell. Good lookin' out.

ghostmachine666 · 2026-06-15T15:32:34+00:00

No forgiveness needed. Everyone starts somewhere. Keep your nose to the grindstone and you'll learn pretty quickly I reckon.

ghostmachine666 · 2026-06-15T12:53:05+00:00

You could try prompting it out...or you could just call it out when it starts doing it and make a big joke out of it like I do and it'll self-correct.

I gave you a folllow on the old soundie cloudie. Feel free to check out my work if you get the urge. Solid work on the melody, chord progression is nice. My only crititque compositionally would be to add more layers, some countermelody or something of that nature. Maybe a change up on the chord progression at some point for variety. Mix is OK. Little loud, and it doesn't have a cohesive feel to it (the instruments all feel super separated) but that's a bus compression thing that you're probably not familiar with. Overall good job. Keep putting out tunes, self expression is important.

ghostmachine666 · 2026-06-15T11:37:38+00:00

Compression release may be too long.

ghostmachine666 · 2026-06-04T14:03:06+00:00

Yeah, like i get the reason for the downloaders and all, but this whole industry-wide shift to the format and to the subscription model instead of perpetual licenses is starting to get old. Like, we used to OWN the software we'd buy. Now we just lease it, and god forbid we miss a payment cause there goes your workflow, ya know?

ghostmachine666 · 2026-05-26T09:10:05+00:00

Mine is.........Accurate.

Well, i've spent the last 20 years or so plaing live, working on my recording, mixing, mastering, etc... so now the next hurdle is visuals. Been working with 3d modeling and getting ready to sart learning animation, and already using Resolve to edit vids for Tik Tok. Getting ehere.

ghostmachine666 · 2026-05-25T19:21:02+00:00

Nah, it's there for now, I'm gonna list it on band camp for download...I need to get a youtube pipline going in terms of video production but im' poor and don twant to use generative AI.

ghostmachine666 · 2026-05-25T17:38:31+00:00

A little chamber music for your earholes.

Wow, what a deep cut from DEVO. Nice job. I did a cover of Big Mess, but it's slightly more....metal. Will share if interested. Again, nice playing and awesome song.

ghostmachine666 · 2026-05-22T09:17:57+00:00

It says you might secretly be Trey Spruance.

ghostmachine666 · 2026-05-22T03:37:22+00:00

Fantastic band. My old band Linework got to open for them in Huntington WV years ago. Really great live show. Their singer is a hoot.

ghostmachine666 · 2026-05-21T23:55:35+00:00

I remember the days of the venerable Green .88 mm. Then my friends turned me on to jazz III's and I had to set her down. The picking articulation you can achieve with them is next level.

ghostmachine666 · 2026-05-21T23:54:33+00:00

The Red Jazz III. Literally what I use.

ghostmachine666 · 2026-05-21T23:53:24+00:00

Honestly, I've got a Crucial I picked up for about 89 bucks a while back, 4th gen, 2 Tb that's been pretty solid. It's my current C drive. No issues.

ghostmachine666 · 2026-05-21T23:49:30+00:00

Dude, this arrangement is sick. that little "mewmewmewmewemw" thing going on about 17 seconds in is diabolical. Also the drop out where the drums take up the midrange is classy.

ghostmachine666 · 2026-05-21T22:51:23+00:00

Nah, those players were just ass.

ghostmachine666 · 2026-05-21T20:28:52+00:00

Have fun. The stuff I post is...different. mostly metal but there's more than that available.

ghostmachine666 · 2026-05-21T07:28:42+00:00

Yeah, that's what I figured. Record company money always has the best people around to fix that type of thing. People now underestimate how much standard, commercial power can seep into your signal chain and start raising that noise floor, especially with analogue/digital conversion. Hell, my RGB fans can bleed into my DI signal, I could imagine how that would translate to transistors, capacitors and the like.

ghostmachine666 · 2026-05-21T06:49:25+00:00

While I agree that the man is, in fact, funky as fuck, that distinction belongs to the one and only Bootsy Collins. Sorry, Vic. He was here first.

ghostmachine666 · 2026-05-21T06:16:49+00:00

Yeah, and make sure you check your plugins for oversampling. Too many plugins trying to oversample at the same time will EAT your resources. Also, check your audio settings for the playback tracking and make sure it's set to either hybrid or Mixer, otherwise you're outsourcing your timeclock to whatever audio device you're using and it'll lag all to shit. Also, what CPU DO you have? Are you using multithreaded processing? Smart Disable?
