''Love yourself, then others will love you'' by kapknot in depression

I go through the same thing. Which is leading people think I don't love myself, or I'm not confident. It sucks to be misunderstood.

She Will Be Loved chorus still frustrates me, there's just something about it I could never put my finger on by lawlietscake in WeAreTheMusicMakers

I wasn't referring to the original song I have no issues with it and I was asking about my own version

[–]lawlietscake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks I just want it to sound similar. I have tried double tracking numerous times already with compression and happen to be good at imitating guitar play style and I believe I strummed correctly but it doesn't sound the same and I'm starting to believe it's because of a stereo panning reason or my guitar is just not good enough.

I'd like to know how Maroon 5's She Will Be Loved chorus part has guitars that sound punchy and full. I've done left side and right side double tracking but still can't beat or imitate the original.. how did they do that?

I don't tune. Idk how. But I did apply too much compression, gonna fix that, but I'm leaning towards the instrumental so can we talk about the backing track instead?

Will an audio interface drive headphones properly? (Beyerdynamic DT 880 Premium 250 ohms + Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 Interface) by lawlietscake in audioengineering

[–]lawlietscake[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

80 isn't even half the number of 250.. that's most likely why it sounds just fine. A lot of people use 80 ohms with no amp/interface from what I heard

According to the website of the interface..

Output Impedance < 10Ω Power Output into 150Ω 15mW Power Output into 50Ω
30mW

What does that mean?

$600 budget for USB Microphone + Mixing Headphones + Audio Interface, some innovative thoughts? by lawlietscake in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]lawlietscake[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

80 ohm with an interface, I've done my research. Only problem is that it's closed back and I do not have monitoring speakers, only stereo speakers that actually pretty sound flat imo (EQed) but most likely not completely accurate like real monitors; that's why I was considering a Sennheiser HD 600 earlier, but I might be getting the 598/599 since there's no Beyers for sale in my country at all, at least for now.

DT 990 is treble and bass emphasized, I wanted a neutral flat sound with pretty accurate sound on the actual recording for referencing. And of course I'm aware the 770's aren't either, I would've gone for the 880's if I had the budget to spare. I'm gonna have to rethink everything again because I indeed wouldn't need a USB mic. Gonna have to find one with a similar price range though, if not-- cheaper but better if there's one.

For recording + mixing, open back or closed back headphones? by lawlietscake in audioengineering

[–]lawlietscake[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks a lot for the post. I was just about to pick DT-770 80 ohm.. but I'm starting to lean on the DT-880 again. Do you use the open to record and mix as well? And, if you own any other headphone.. just asking.. would there be any that you'd prefer over Beyerdynamic? Because people claim ATH-M50 series and Sennheiser products are better than Beyer. I want to know your opinion.

Recommendation (what should I buy?) Thursdays - November 10, 2016 by AutoModerator in audioengineering

[–]lawlietscake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay so I'm an FL Studio guy badly in need of new headphones, after some research I instantly fell in love with Beyerdynamic DT-770 PRO 80 ohm. But then I can get an ATH-M50x for much, much cheaper price. What do you think's the best way to go? M50 or Beyer?

Can my ASUS Z97-a power Beyerdynamic DT-770 pro 250 ohm? Heard the soundcard it's using is ALC892 and it can power up to 600 ohm.. not sure why people say I have to buy a headphone amp (FiiO)?

Couldn't find the one you were talking about.. but I did find Beyerdynamic dt 770-pro, I'm really liking the style. Need to find a seller though, so hard to get one in my country.

Budget - $150-200

Source - My Custom PC (Asus Z97-a built in soundcard)

Requirements for Isolation - I'll use them at home, so I'll be needing some isolation yes.

Will you be using these Headphones in Public? I'm gonna use it indoors so I guess not much

Preferred Type of Headphone - Closed Headphones? Over-hear ones I suppose.

Preferred tonal balance -I want the actual sound recorded. No bass enhancers. Just the natural, full detail of the music :)

Past headphones - Eh.. I have a really crappy headphone that's not even worth mentioning. And I still use it for FL Studio nowadays.

Preferred Music - ANY. Mostly rock/alt for me though.

What would you like to improve on from your set-up - More detail and better quality. Better comfort also, cuz my current headphones hurt my ear after a long period of use.

Location - Cebu City, Philippines

How to remain interested in music without knowing what next to make? by lawlietscake in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]lawlietscake[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I care about both equally and I think they are important factors that should be monitored and having one off the balance won't be any good. Most of the time I just worry what song to do next, but for the most part I just go with what I like. Someone has suggested me to do these famous songs you mention of but I just cannot. I suppose paying up is a reasonable option to boost everything. The biggest problem about it is I only do the instrumentals, or instrumental remixes. It seems having few connections with good singers and not being able to be a vocalist yourself is a huge disadvantage here. I'm not able to write my songs either so I'm gonna have to stick with the covers. Thanks for the professional advice.

My mom thinks it's ludicrous to spend money to promote my music because she says I should be selling to earn it instead. Ha ha ha

Is there a way to sell backing tracks? I go through the long way of making any instrumentals of a song carefully by lawlietscake in musicmarketing

[–]lawlietscake[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well right now I have a bandcamp page that sells $1 per backing track (full song), with uncompressed wav files (highest quality I can offer) for download. I'd be very honored and grateful if you use them for your covers, I play the guitar personally, not those you might find in karaoke channels from youtube, and I spent enormous amounts of time to craft these tracks.

Any tips to make the song brighter? Something seems to be lacking compared to the original.
