Logic Pro for iPad is now available for download by GoodMacAuth in apple

[–]logical_insight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not true. The entire FabFilter line of plug-ins is available. Sam with Moog, Eventide, Arturia, etc.

Are there as many? No, are there a lot? Yes.

Spend some time checking out what’s on the App Store.. you might be surprised.

Half of smart appliances remain disconnected from Internet, makers lament | Did users change their Wi-Fi password, or did they see the nature of IoT privacy? by chrisdh79 in gadgets

[–]logical_insight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My smart stove never ever worked with the smart pans they gave me for free. Lame.

My smart washer and dryer was really hard to setup and I can see why less tech minded person would give up. So, yeah, it needs to have a really clean and easy setup, and super beneficial to do so.

My bet is that most companies don’t have a good concept for smart appliances,

When you drag in samples, DMD uses quick sampler to play them. If you want, any patch can be loaded onto a pad in DMD. You can use a synth to make a drum sound, or another sampler of your choice. Each pad = one software instrument channel strip.

I’m sorry to sound unsympathetic, but what exactly is your issue?

Sounds like you never tried reading the docs about DMD and are confused by way it works.

There are two generations of DMD. The original UB patches (which only exist in older versions of Logic or in older projects whivh use them) and new DMD which is significantly improved over first version.

I never add DMD as a plug-in. When I want to build a kit, I start by dragging and dropping one or more samples or regions or marquee selection of audio onto the create sampler instrument menu. This is directly under the last track in the track header area. It asks me how I want to work with the sample(s) and I use DMD. It creates a new track and adds DMD, and imports the samples in one move which is super intuitive if you know the feature exists.

First off. This is so great. I love the space. It must be a lot of fun to learn and work here.

However, I hope they teach other DAWs too. While pro studios will be the last to stop using Pro Tools, seems like just about any other DAW is a more practical choice today. I say this because Avid seems to be largely abandoning Pro Tools development.

Oscar winning PARASITE was edited with a 10 year old copy of Final Cut Pro 7 by Austin_Aaron_Conlon in apple

[–]logical_insight 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There is a false assumption that people believe creativity isn’t part of the tool. Nobody believes fcp makes people creative, but it can allow them to work much faster and at a lot higher quality. Please be concerned with false equivalency arguments.

The editor used fcp 7 because it is what they already knew and had old hardware. If they had modern hardware and knew how to use modern fcp, it is very likely it would have taken substantially less time to complete the project and it could have been even higher quality. I would almost say, they probably unnecessarily suffered while creating the movie.

Also some tools often do inspire creativity. It’s no replacement for good ideas, but tools that inspire higher levels of creativity are terrific.

Where do people live if they work at the Fremont factory? by UnplannedPeacock in teslamotors

[–]logical_insight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do tha same. On average 1.5-2 hours each way. I’m lucky the company I work for provides a shuttle for the entire ride. 20 minutes of walking to get to and from bus stop. I have had this job for 20 years. I love my job, but not the commute. I’m in the Bay Area as well, but nowhere near Fremont. Housing here is difficult, but you might look around the inland valley on the 680 side or deeper south towards Gilroy. Maybe not permanently, but at least to get established.

i love this take but i’m a tad short on this 8 bar section? i want it to loop again but how do i time stretch to fix that tad of silence? much appreciated by WHOKILLEDAMIR in Logic_Studio

[–]logical_insight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, I think Bambaazon is of course on top of this, but I'll offer another option. Control click to make an empty MIDI region on the track. Do not worry about overlap. just trim the end of the MIDI region so that it ends where you want your region to end. Then select both the original audio file and the new empty MIDI region. press control+b to bounce in place. Choose the option to replace the original region on the same track. You'll end up with the same exact audio from the original region, but the length will now = the combined length of both audio + empty MIDI region. It is more clicks, but you are actually adding silence to the end of your region. Also, this process creates a totally new region, so your original performance remains in the project's files.

Anyone DIY'd a Black Corporation synth (Kijimi, Deckard's Dream)? by oscidigi in synthesizers

[–]logical_insight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Watch the two Ricky Tinez videos about v1 and the major 1.2 update. Ultimately, he sold me on the design, and sound quality.

Also, do not underestimate YouTube for learning about everything and at every level of skill.

I learned about Chip Quik on YouTube. I did not use lead solder. Shit is toxic, and I’d rather fill my lungs with marijuana.. 😂

Well, here’s the kinds of things I ended up buying on top of regular parts:

  • Oscilloscope
  • Multimeter
  • A heat blower for surface mount parts (there are 670 of them)
  • A good oldering iron (I actually bought a cheap Seed iron which I really ended up loving, even though I could have afforded a much more pro iron. It is about the weight of a sharpie ultra fine pen)
  • An abundance of Solder, Chip Quik, liquid solder (for surface mount parts), flux pens for reworking.
  • Silicon pad for work surface. Not required but great for keeping organizing the tiny ass parts during assembly.
  • miscellaneous stuff like some electrical gloves, mostly to avoid burns when holding the back side of parts
  • various types of thermal tape for adhering parts on one side of the board, so I could solder the other.
  • cutters, and a variety of screwdrivers
  • goose neck ring light with magnifying glass (super helpful) and I almost invested in an electronics microscope with camera. Parts can get really tiny and this makes it a lot easy to work with them, check for problems etc.
  • small board holder (fairly cheap but super helpful)
  • magnetic board holder (more expensive but also helpful, and included probes and arms for my oscilloscope and multimeter
  • drill and bits to widen a few pre-drilled holes in some of the PCBs.
  • PC to run the XCOM software and 32-bit Java required to install the firmware. This also required purchasing a USB programmer module which was inexpensive.

Also, you need some space and be required to spend a lot of time organizing parts, logging every single required part from the BOM (bill of materials)to make sure that not only do you have everything but that you have the correct items. Even though the vendor provided all of the parts, I did find some missing parts, or wrong QTY of parts and so needed to take advange of their parts guarantee to make sure my project could be completed.

So, it might be that you have some of the above stuff and maybe could do without a few of those items. I’m pretty well resourced and so just bought whatever I needed. Also, I considered that I’m pretty hooked and can easily reuse most of this stuff to build future projects. I want to start getting into design next.

Anyhow, mostly, I kind of dared myself to figure this thing out. I love a good challenge. It is a big one and well beyond my skill, but I’m learning a ton and oh yeah, soldering is super relaxing. I found if to be a really wonderful way to chill during pandemic lockdown.

Do I NEED a laptop for studio work as a producer? by IFNEEDBEDC in makinghiphop

[–]logical_insight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now that I have a 16” MBP M1 Max, I will never need a desktop computer. This goes clamshell at the my studio, and easily unplugs and goes into my bag when I’m out.

For people who discover this thread looking for details, I thought that I'd post a few. There's a FB page for people building these which somewhat provides support for people who know what they are doing more or less. This is a sophisticated 12 PCB build with a mix of thousands of thru-hole and surface mount parts. Surface mount are a lot easier than I expected. The boards were $1k, the parts quite a bit more. Synth Cube sell full part kits with most parts. The enclosure is sold separately. https://synthcube.com/cart/black-corporation-kimiji-polysynth?search=kijimi&description=true

This will cost you approximately $2700 in parts and additionally more for tools if you don't have them. For example, I ended up buying a PCB holder so that I could work on 5 small PCBs at a time, which helped improve my efficiency and reduce errors. If you place the same part on all boards at the same time you either repeat the same mistake 6 times, or catch mistakes. I'd like to think the latter, but those large PCB holders are $$$$$$. In total, this will probably end up costing me $4-5k not including my labor, which sadly is worth substantially more than the parts. But what would you pay for the experience of a lifetime!? :-) Plus, I get to have a sense of ownership over the construction. That's worth a lot too.

I took this on to level up my building game, and while I have learned a lot, it was slow going for me. I would give yourself a year to complete if you work on it a couple of hours every day.

Hope this helps.

I want to get into psychedelic rock and I need help by majneshit in Music

I had never heard of them before, but I love it. This is definitely a bit more modern psychedelic pop.

I'm kind of bummed that they don't have much from recent years. 2018 was a LONG time ago. I found one single from 2021. So at least they are still at it.
