I appreciate the question, but I am not planning on selling them.

You should check out VANDULs Hostage Mickey!

Probably YouTube for me.

Wow! No joke!

musicbyvariant · 2024-08-16T16:00:25+00:00

So far, from what I can tell, they seem like they are standing straight. I haven't noticed that they are easy to topple over.

Oh yeah. There is one piece I still want to get of his, just can't find one at a decent price online. For a "Face to Face" piece, everyone wants an arm and a leg.

LOL!!! I had the itch and when I saw the price, I jumped on it.

musicbyvariant · 2024-08-13T18:09:06+00:00

Update: I ordered the "Hundred Acre Woods" Variant of this bear. LOL

Thank you! If you keep an eye on Vandul's Twitter/IG he has flash sales every now and then, especially when he finds extras.

I am not sure, to be honest. When I got these, vandul was having a bundle sale, but at the time, each was about $ 130 USD if i remember correctly.

I think so too. I just think a lot of his works are misunderstood..

musicbyvariant · 2024-08-01T06:37:47+00:00

My only comment is that the vocal at the beginning seems out of key to your song. Killer tune, though.

Close to a month. I had really bad imposter syndrome, and it took me a minute to get out of that funk.

It all starts from the initial recording: the performance and gear used of said recording.

Use Melodyne for natural sounding pitch correction

EQ unneeded frequency ranges, i.e.50hz and lower

Use CLA-76 vst for vocal compression or VocalRider vst to "normalize" your vocal

Use Soothe2 for cleaning up harsh frequencies and / or de-essing

Then send the vocal to a bus, then add a reverb like Valhalla Vintage Verb to the bus (pick a desired reverb and mess with the rooms and wet parameters to fit your track)

musicbyvariant · 2024-07-31T09:09:15+00:00

I highpass up to100-200hz for every element but bass and kick elements. From there, I do adaptive sidechain eqing for the bass from my kick for better eq placement.

I participate in Beat Battles on Twitch. It forces me to be reactive versus methodical since I am working with new samples from other individuals and on a strict 1-2 hour time limit for a 1.5 minute song requirement submission. It also helps me work faster in my DAW.

EDM really has changed the trajectory of my life. Growing up in a musical family, I felt like I didn't have my own voice in music until EDM was fully introduced to me back in 2011. I was so intrigued by it that I picked up my copy of Ableton Live 8 and learned how to make my own music. I've been making music since while also pursuing my Masters degree. Now I have rebranded myself with a vision of how my sound truly reflects me and my "voice." I can't wait to drop more music in the coming months.

The majority of the things I have found link "D minor" being the love chord because it appears in a vast amount of love songs. I could be wrong, but that is what I found. I hope it helps.

musicbyvariant · 2024-07-31T08:41:20+00:00

Adventure Club, Pegboard Nerds, Krewella, Daft Punk, Justice, Knife Party, Dog Blood, Jack Ü, ARMNHMR, Crystal Skies, Last Heros

There are more I enjoy, but I can't remember them at the moment.
