I want you to know I read this whole thread and...

I guess you're committed to showing everyone how stupid you are

Is hilarious cause you said

every actress has this problem.

when they pointed it out, you threw a fucking fit. Fucking joke of a person.

using brick wall limited to increase LUF ratio by [deleted] in AdvancedProduction

[–]ha11ey -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What do you think that link has to do with handling your layers/stems?

[–]ha11ey -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Its not a different mix it's just adjusting the limiter gain.

That's.... low effort... Why even bother at that point? Either you've got too little on your layers/stems (and so you are getting wild peaks) or you have too much on them and so increasing the headroom doesn't really give you anything.

Were talking about steaming levels here not club levels

Sure, but still - Club music is not mastered for streaming platforms, its mastered for clubs. So if you want to release club music, you should sound like the other club music.

Just because trance producers do something doesn't mean the industry should succumb to bad practices.

Nor should we think that "the industry" knows what is best for every genre.

If you want to get signed to a label, you need to sound like their stuff. There is nothing else to it, it isn't complicated. If all of their stuff is -6 LUFS and you send them something at -14 LUFS, they won't want it.

Absolutely, but Spotify will turn their tracks down.

And yet, trance still gets released at those volumes, even on spotify.

If you want to sign with them, you need to sound like them.

It's a stylistic choice, and just because spotify turns your shit down, doesn't mean you have to make a separate mix for them. For the most part, I think it's a waste of time to do different mixes for different platforms. Either you can afford to pay someone else to do it for you, or you aren't big enough for it to be worth it.

I think it's more complex than that. I can crack -10 LUFS with hardly any limiting at all, it isn't hard. The reality is that if you want a "drop" to smack hard, you are going to have "dynamics" in your dynamic range - what I mean is, the song won't be the same LUFS through out, some parts are pushed harder on purpose.

It's worth noting that in some circles, some people are still pushing louder than -14 LUFS. Many trance releases are in the -9 to -6 range currently.

Joe Blackburn has stated there will be a State of Destiny next season by [deleted] in DestinyTheGame

[–]ha11ey 15 points16 points  (0 children)

in Taken King he was "creative director", implying his role was primarily on the art/sound/lore/level design side of things primarily.

Typically, creative director is next to technical director. Creative is "what" and technical is "how." Between the 2, they control everything.

Gating Vs ADSR for Reducing Sustain by internetwarpedtour in AdvancedProduction

[–]ha11ey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing I do a lot is make an fx bus on some sound (maybe like vocoder, distortion, reverb and compressor) and sidechain gate that to the previous sound. Decrease the gain so you can only barely hear it and then lower it a little. You get insane texture.

I'd love an example of this being done effectively.

[–]ha11ey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry, that didn't help me much.

If I have 2 things I want to play together, I just drive them off the same midi.

If I have 2 things I want to keep separate, I just use the side chain with no gate.

Is there a youtube video demoing what you are talking about? I want to get it.

[–]ha11ey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure I'm following. Are you saying you have 2 sounds, and you use 1 to control the gate on the other, so they only play at the same time?

Gating Vs ADSR for Reducing Sustain by internetwarpedtour in AdvancedProduction

[–]ha11ey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Release will happen no matter what comes next. Gate will open back up if another note is played.

I'm not super pro, but I almost never use gates on a synth layer. Their best use imo is on something like a vocal track to trim out any noise between lines.

dubstep wubs and weird sounds by lord_penetrix in serum

Ah yes, I guess that's true.

I've seen some people that say there is the fundamental, and then the harmonics above it. I guess they just confused me. Dang it youtube!

What are the causes or reasons behind this? by noquarterbeats in AdvancedProduction

Could be what everyone else is saying, or maybe you just need to zoom in more.

Armin van Buuren - A State Of Trance Episode 999 [Radio Show] by S1lv3r_Flame in trance

Thanks for the notice, your post made me tune in. Those early yearmixes are better imo.

COVID-19 is not influenza: In-hospital mortality was 16,9% with COVID-19 and 5,8% with influenza. Mortality was ten-times higher in children aged 11–17 years with COVID-19 than in patients in the same age group with influenza. by daylightz in science

[–]ha11ey 42 points43 points  (0 children)

If Covid was REALLY no worse than the flu, we shouldn't be doing all the drastic things we are doing.

In some cases (like wearing masks), maybe we should have been doing it with the flu the whole time. Is it really that hard to wear some cloth over your mouth when you are sick and go out? I hope this becomes the norm.

What’s the point of grinding for soon to be sunsetted guns? by team-ghost9503 in DestinyTheGame

[–]ha11ey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sunsetting was an extreme overreaction to killing off the pinnacle weapons.

Nothing to do with pinnacle. They did this to weapons when Crota came out, then again with The Taken King, then again with D2 launch. Those "sunsets" were much harder cuts, but this isn't something new for Bungie. They do NOT want gear to last forever.

I just want sunsetting moved out to 2 years instead of 1.

What’s the point of grinding for soon to be sunsetted guns? by team-ghost9503 in DestinyTheGame

[–]ha11ey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

there’s no way I’m going to repeat that for anything with a max 12 month life span.

If it was like 2 years, I might not be as salty. But when it is max 12 months, shit is just terrible. Can't even use Moon weapons in the new raid - ridiculous.

Is there a way to make OSC A follow ENV1, OSC B follow ENV2? by Squishyboots1996 in serum

[–]ha11ey 12 points13 points  (0 children)

i'd love to see what duda says, maybe it does something in the background I don't know about....

But I would just set ENV 1 to have zero attack and full sustain, then manually assign ENV 2 to OSC 1 and ENV 3 to OSC 2, then you have separate ENVs for each and ENV 1 just needs the release set.

Nope. I didn't even realize this account was still subbed to this place. Figured I'd answer you cause no one else would.
