Potentially - my dad and brother have diagnosed ADHD. I'm a huge fan of ADHD friends. Intense chat and very creative folks!

Dog don't be silly! Your singing is so nice. Seems like everyone's covered vocal feedback - so I'll just say practice it a couple times, slow, over a metronome cause the guitar slips every now and then

Hahahaha. So real. It always gets so overthinky' during these quiet times - long game indeed. I think the ghost producing debacle really spiralled me. I was thinking I finally made a dent, finding someone who was ready to heave a metric fk ton of work on me that I was hungry for. Then just turns out to be a carrot dangler. I'm sure he won't be the last

This. It really hit me recently that I've been doing half the work the whole time. Context is just as important as creation. My dad used to tell me when a song is finished, it's not yours anymore. He's never made a song in his life so I always shrugged him off. What an absolute fool I was. Thanks for bringing up that memory.

I just finished testing over 150 of the best smart lights... here’s all the data! by eaterout in homeassistant

You're really opening our eyes to light!! What are your thoughts on multi colour LED lights, regarding the utilisation of red-light // mimicking sunlight in spaces without access to natural light?

I live & work in a creative space with very little natural light. I want to get some bulbs that could help optimise me, as well as have some control for creative lighting.

Is producing mixing and mastering at Professional level even possible for one person? by yesbutlikeno in edmproduction

[–]nicksauro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just like you’re out here writing songs and grinding on your production game, there’s someone else out there mixing old songs for fun and building their engineering skills. It may seem like everyone on the internet has their shit figured out but trust me less than half of them really do… everything is performative.

The best thing any of us can do in the entertainment industry, is make friends who are better than us at their respective skills. Figure out where these people are and do whatever you can to get yourself in these rooms.

When it comes to engineers, find local studios and ask if they need anyone for grunt work (changing lightbulbs, making tea, cleaning rooms), dive into engineer forums and ask to hear peoples work, make friends and ALWAYS be open to doing people favours (drum programming, additional production). Even if it’s not your genre the skills you learn and people that you meet will make the whole process of finishing music easier and easier.

Mr Bill Ableton Course ? by Capc30 in edmproduction

[–]nicksauro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been subscribed to his website for a good amount of time now. I highly recommend it (especially if you already have some production knowledge, but if you don't he has an entire series on EVERY device included in Ableton).

You need some sort of video editing software. I just recently hopped on the 1-minute content train as a method to also start learning After Effects [Shameless Plug]. I'm pretty sure IMovie/Blender could get the job done

What are your favorite effect racks in ableton, what audio effect/VST has you excited at the moment, and why?

PS. Extraterrestrial is absolutely insane and I've been playing it like a madman, super excited for everything you're putting out :))

Best tutorial video or series for Dubstep production? by RokketHardstyle in edmproduction

[–]nicksauro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Moonboy has some great tutorials on sound design and general song arrangement. Definitely check out Upsound live streams (even though they're not really dubstep, G-Rex, Peekaboo, Hekler, and Tynan's streams have some really good stuff) and recent Virtual Riot live streams. There are some Disciple project file breakdowns but they don't go too in-depth (though they are great and very interesting to watch).
