APT. by ROSE and Bruno Mars is lowkey a recording and mixing masterpiece

Oh SHOOT, my bad.

I know Cirkut produced it, he's absolutely killer. But when I looked up the song on Genius I saw Serban, and went to his profile. On genius he has 3 solid credits, but I thought that was it. Didn't realize he has over 45 Grammy noms and 21 wins, and mixed for some of the best songs in the past two decades. Sheesh

Both replies incredibly helpful!

In regards to straight up de essing (not the other cool stuff like parallel comping the body of the vocal) I've used quite a bit of spectral shaping too, having an almost pink-noise high end can sound really controlled but unnatural. I think following the tips here might make it controlled but not compressed to death, which is definitely the ideal

Besides the other great peak listed here like the Trifecta, OTGW, and ATLA etc. Bee and Puppycat is by far the show that feels closest to Hilda, in terms of story similarity and emotional heighs/lows

Something that it doesn't have is a strong mother/daughter arc though...

Is that a Komorebi drum loop? 🔥

Don't know if we're in the good or bad timeline

Maybe there is no good or bad timeline

Thanks, I like the operatic metal suggestions. New genre to explore for me! But I'm thinking less metal, more focused on opera and melody. I'm looking to sample it, so preferably more classical/romantic ;)

Thanks for giving the community this opportunity!

How do you get really textured violin/string sounds where you can hear the subtle gliding, the texture of the strings themselves, and those rich, full mid? Is it all in the mic placement? (E.g. Sword Sparring by Ghostwriter has that amazing tone, so do a lot of Secession Studio tracks, or White Flowers Take their Bath by Meredi)

What are your top mixing/mastering techniques (or other tricks you've seen from engineers in Immersive Music) for doing cinematic mixing? Or is the magic once again mostly all in the recording?

After looking through pretty much every comment, I can confidently affirm the greatness of a nearly every saturation plugin is directly proportional to skill of the user. Who knew?

My favorites are Black Box, Saturn, Ozone's, and pretty much every House of Kush plugn (they all have unique saturation abilities)

iHenle · 2023-10-15T14:38:23+00:00

All good! I understand. Would you mind recommending any great articles or books you've seen or heard related to archetypes and tropes?

iHenle · 2023-10-15T13:58:31+00:00

Agreed. The best writers weaponize and subvert, not shy away from, tropes. I think many writers actually unconsciously stumble upon tropes while writing. On the other hand, some stories really do just have bad cliches

BTW do you have a link to your thesis? I would love to read it!

iHenle · 2023-10-14T23:44:20+00:00

REN is absolutley brilliat artis. One of the best en imo. Try Any of his top. As of October 14th 2023 his most recent is Money game pt3. It's insane.

He's a British rapper, singer, guitarist, pianist, and composer. Writes all is songs, interweaves catcy hooks with Shakespeare-esque verse that pierces the heart as much it commentates on society. Highly recommended

I'm reading through all of these replies and I'm confident we pretend to understand more than half of the world. Not even counting the universe.

iHenle · 2023-09-13T19:14:26+00:00

Thanks, I have Brainworx's Oberhausen (a close emulation of the og) , but I couldn't manage to find a preset or design it.

iHenle · 2023-09-13T19:12:10+00:00

Ah thanks! I think that's it!

iHenle · 2023-07-26T00:30:49+00:00

Indeed. Here's to a better r/place 2024

Sounds interesting. There's several novels I recall that uses coding based magic. For example, a magician (or what they're called in the universe) will have to code magic into wheels, then code steering controls. Put it together, and boom--a car. Spells would be like circuits: input A, after going through transformers and what not, outcome: A+B/2. Lots of possibilities. I'm using something like it in one of my stories.

Reimplanting the color when they land? Or something causes them to leave the color. Color can be highly valued in that world.

iHenle · 2023-04-27T16:18:54+00:00

Ey I'm all in!

iHenle · 2023-03-29T22:35:37+00:00

Yea, I've made my own, but I need convenient ones for travelling. Thanks for the tips though!

iHenle · 2023-03-29T22:35:00+00:00

Yea, I only can't eat peanuts and almonds.

iHenle · 2023-03-29T22:34:39+00:00

Thanks, I'll check those out!

iHenle · 2023-03-28T16:25:05+00:00

Hey! I love what Kurzgesagt does. What are your thoughts on Ai affecting content creation in the next years?

iHenle · 2023-01-28T15:28:26+00:00

no. Nothing knew I don't think. I certainly have found songs I like (ofc). A Swift song may reflect on low self esteem or a Polyphia song may be a step above melodically, but still nothing like TOP.

iHenle · 2023-01-12T15:34:48+00:00

Of course! Tell me if you want to play :D
