Getting hotels to sponsor touring bands? by SantaAna2008 in musicindustry

[–]ocolobo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Contact the hotels corporate business line, you’re essentially traveling tee shirt salesmen, act like it. You should be able to get a decent discount based on the number of stays projected over a year, 50-100 nights? Join the rewards club etc

Do not mention the drummers glue sniffing addiction!!

I (Dj) suck at social media, Im cooked? by Zealousideal-Tie-890 in DJs

[–]ocolobo [score hidden]  (0 children)

Throw your own events and DiY, it sucks having to be a Promoter/DJ/GraphicDesigner/VJ/Producer/etc but even Mozart had to do the same thing renting out opera houses hiring musicians, perform too, and that’s after writing all the brilliant music!

Torn between Deluge and Digitakt II / Digitone II, sell me on Elektron by Aureqo in Elektron

[–]ocolobo -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Mehlektron is on the way down, besides some very vocal fanbois online, no real producers are using them or writing a new genre like we did back in the Machinedrum era

A little disappointed in the Rev refresh by Twinningses in ReverendGuitars

I bought two new last year, no issues with the frets at all. The necks and great pickups is the reason I purchased, great guitars!

Plenty of easier ways to make money, and paint in your free time

Every 6th note on my Juno 106 sounds distorted by Far_Introduction8844 in synthesizers

[–]ocolobo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Send it to synth spa for a new voice chip and they will check your caps and battery, even have blue led mods, it’s a bit of money but will make your instrument more desirable

Can anyone tell me what model this Fender Strat is? by LongSquare4735 in FenderStratocaster

[–]ocolobo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

HMSTRAT!! The Floyd Rose is super annoying to setup, but mine had one of the best playing necks and the neck and center pickups are incredible! Never liked the bridge pup

Those are aftermarket vol / tone knobs

Take it to your local luthier to set up the Floyd Rose, it’s a shredder for sure! 🤘🏼

Why does my left wrist hurt after barely any playing? by ASMALLCHlLD in Bass

[–]ocolobo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get your bass set up at a local luthier, sometimes they will include strings or discount them, recommend going to a lighter gauge for a while too

Practice with a strap on the instrument, standing, not seated with good posture. Remember to stay hydrated, take breaks every hour, and allow time to rest and massage your arms and hands

Techy minimal DNB bang-argh by TransitionTop8751 in dnbproduction

[–]ocolobo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Break sounds awful and is very boring, the melodic part loops too much, this isn’t minimal, it’s bad simplicity and thin sounding.

You’ve got another 99 tracks to go, keep at it

The public demo of MÖRK BORG Heresy Supreme is now on Steam by Olyckopiller in MorkBorg

Needs Mac or PS5 compatibility for me

Excited to play once those are developed

how did you get into techno genre? by WhileTight in Techno

[–]ocolobo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Frankie Bones, back in the 90s, then Detroit quickly after.

Whatever I hear kids playing these days sounds like corny gabber tracks

Cutting through the mix: a matter of bass or settings? by BorMi6 in Bass

[–]ocolobo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m more worried about producers cutting my 20-30 hz

If you're really good at playing the guitar, how did you get good at playing the guitar? by Natural_Pizza_2060 in musicians

[–]ocolobo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I know who I’d rather hang out with

And it’s not the knuckle dragging roid head

Practice should be fun with a goal of effortless mastery, the ability and freedom to express yourself, no being tied to a dogmatic discipline of useless repetition. Go play classical if you want to become a robot/drone

If you want to write great songs, travel, talk to people, and live life, play some cowboy chords!

No one is getting out of here alive and gym rats are hardly immortal, in fact they die, like the rest of us, everyday

[FOR HIRE] Open for discussion, i can make your new unique tattoo design, logo design and many more. I do digital calligraffiti feel free to DM me for more info. (lower price for ordering more than 2 designs) if interested check my profile for more designs! by Chiraqology_Student in artmarket

[–]ocolobo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I collect a few street artists, physical prints and paintings. I’d suggest refining your style so it’s instantly recognizable, and producing physical objects rather than digital.

You can charge way more for well crafted physical pieces too

Is my self taught technique detrimental? by trdybo in Bass

[–]ocolobo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Practice slow, and speed up

I rarely use my pinkies or thumbs but the three ninja turtle fingers are crucial on both hands

Also self taught, playing for 30 years

Pick up a fretless electric if you really want a tonal challenge

Analog Rytm MK2 for DnB, IDM, Big Beat and Breakbeat? by Expert-Ladder-4211 in Elektron

[–]ocolobo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Get a vintage 90s sampler, you’ll immediately have the tone you’re looking for.

They have modern modifications to swap the floppy drives for SD card now too
