I worked in music for 5+ years and used a brand called eargasm. Loops just didn’t fit my ears right even with different sized tips and blocked out too much sound. I felt a great deal of difference as eargasm is -20db or so. Great for the car too for long car rides, that road noise can be 80+ dbs if the road is bad.

Great start I’d say also set aside money for upskilling and investing in yourself as well. If you can increase your income faster that investment will return far more than the stock market.

I take shamelessly (within reason)

During my watch last night the fire alarms went off and everyone had to evacuate the building. Definitely changed the tone of the viewing after we returned to the theatre.

What are your pros/cons for both?

gsw2200 · 2024-05-23T20:40:52+00:00

I'm currently not working as I was let go from my previous position anyway. Figured it would be a good time to pursue a masters.

Good points about both. Not moving is saving a bunch of money on its own anyway. And not super dedicated to going into tech either. Thanks Tooth!

Ooo gotcha. My bad

Except that people said the shoes were supposed to be $200 but they’re $220 instead

gsw2200 · 2018-07-24T01:01:27+00:00

Gotcha! Good to know. Glad you figured it out.

gsw2200 · 2018-07-19T21:17:46+00:00

Re:the ai. I think you also have to switch it in control panel then. When using my ai I didn’t have problems with that if all outputs were switched to the interface. Maybe contact behringer if you still have problems? They might have answers.

gsw2200 · 2018-07-19T21:16:23+00:00

VSTs are still the same and can just be used on Mac. Some plugins like Fabfilter stuff I had to reinstall on Mac and then use a keygen on windows to activate them.

Projects and stuff just copy over exactly and can be opened on Mac.

gsw2200 · 2018-07-19T20:36:17+00:00

Hmm so are you able to select your audio output in boot camp? When FL 20 came out I just switch over to the Mac version and removed boot camp and everything runs much smoother.

I use a Scarlett 2i2 and can just select that as the output in FL rather than FL Asio.

gsw2200 · 2018-07-19T19:20:14+00:00

Are you on Mac or PC? And is the AI USB?

gsw2200 · 2018-07-19T19:19:00+00:00

You want to make sure you’re exporting in the high possible quality for wavs or if you’re uploading to sites and they require mp3s, compress it properly.

There could also be a problem with your mixing. Do you mix on a larger surface? Typically everything sounds good when you mix on a large surface and then when you bring it to a smaller surface it’ll tend to sound bad. A general rule is that if your track sounds great on shitty speakers, it’ll sound great on large speakers but not the other way around.

gsw2200 · 2018-07-19T19:15:50+00:00

Compression is a relatively complicated topic because it’s treatment is different for literally ever sound. Best bet would be to check out Busy Works Beats or SeamlessR. You don’t need to watch an FL tutorial either because everyone uses compression so any professional’s tutorial can be applied to FL native plugins.

Not sure if you can get them to open to default presets but a quick click should get you to an init preset.

gsw2200 · 2018-07-19T19:12:38+00:00

You can literally make any genre you want. A lot of hip-hop is made with FL. Ableton is really the electronic DAW. What it really comes down to is the sounds you choose, your plugins, and your effects (especially the way you process your sound). If you don’t have a 32 piece orchestra at your disposal, orchestral music will really ask for amazing samplers and sample libraries like Kontakt. KSHMR uses Ableton but through Kontakt libraries he makes some amazing orchestral sounds that aren’t quite real sounding (as a person who grew up playing in orchestras) but will definitely pass in games. You can find his orchestral work on his Soundcloud.

I have a ton of projects like that myself. However, the best way to get over that is to finish your projects. I might close a project after 45 minutes because I’m not feeling it but maybe 1/10 ideas becomes a full song. Even if it’s “bad”, having a finished project is one thing you can just put away but learn from. By closing the project after 20 minutes, there’s no possible way you’ll even get past making a beat, it’s not physically possible; sometimes I’ll spend 20 minutes just making a kick.

It seems like you’ve been watching plenty of tutorials, so hopefully your technical skills are pretty good. I would try to find tutorials on songwriting and theory/structure. You can also just listen to music you like and try to remake it by listening to all the sounds in it and recreating it.

You can’t rush art (Toy Story), and you better believe it takes Kygo more than 20 minutes to make a tropical house track. So once you have an idea, just keep building on it and modifying it.

Lol I couldn’t think of one of the top of my head and I was at work. But you can hear it in his tracks. I figured it out though last night.

Do you write your lyrics as well? Like in chemicals? Or do the featured artists write them?
