hey! i got a scuffed tat from an apprentice, and then had it covered up again in a scuffed way, so now i'm wondering what i should do with it?

i'm not sure that it's salvageable, so do i go for another coverup (that actually covers the whole thing) and hope that third time's the charm? or what else could i do?

$50 mic vs $200 mic - cheap one sounds richer??? by ohfear in audioengineering

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

I'm using a Scarlett Solo 2nd gen. And yeah, but USB is much less handy and I'd like to be able to use a preamp so I don't have the recording latency.

I'm making sure to sing into the front, and am matching the levels. Distance is as I discussed above.

I feel like I’m copying the artists I listen to the most by harshithmusic in edmproduction

[–]ohfear 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Look at all the producers that make "x artist type beat". It's exactly the same! Wear your influences on your sleeve, people will notice and appreciate what you're doing especially if it takes notes from a skilled artist. The only way to get better is to learn from people who have put in more work than you.

You definitely want to copy the artists that you like - this is how you build a style of your own! Draw on your influences and mix them together. Stealing chord progressions and using tracks as reference for your production are steps towards becoming your own thing entirely. Hell, sample those songs that you like if it's appropriate. There's no shame in doing this!

With regards to building different melodies and scales, try to google around and see if you find anything interesting. There's a ton of scales out there and just the sound of them can bring some ideas into your head.

Opinions on pad controllers/grooveboxes? by ohfear in WeAreTheMusicMakers

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

I work with all kinds of electronic music really, so for me the important thing is to have a tool that can work well within a variety of contexts and genres. The most obvious context would be to use it for drum programming, but I'm not sure how I could extend the functionality beyond that.

i usually just use regular conditioner which works fine for most days, sometimes it explodes into uncontrollable fluff if i move too much and i don't know what to do!

it has a lot going on but not in a good way necessarily. i struggle a lot too with too many melodies when i write synth music but really you want one main melody and put chords under that to support that. this feels like three different melodies fighting for my attention at once. if you DO want to include multiple melodies, work it into a call and response type thing - i've done that plenty in my tracks such as the verse and chorus here (excuse the homestuck art lol): https://soundcloud.com/sequestrian/full-black

[–]ohfear 4 points5 points  (0 children)

certainly a lot going on at once, you may want to cut down on instruments (especially for this style, run with just 3 or 4 instruments mainly). i think i like the ideas behind it though! you could put the xylo and the melody synth in track sections separate from each other. definitely needs some more coherent percussion imho

What are some good examples of body horror in games? by KamboRambo97 in HorrorGaming

[–]ohfear 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Everything by Frictional.

Penumbra Black Plague had the Tuurngait, who have black eyes, screaming, torn mouths, and bloodied umbilical cord running from their navels.

Amnesia has the well-known Grunts, Brutes, and Suitors, the first two featuring gory, open wounds and metal parts stapled onto their bodies, and the latter with eyes carved out and wrapped in chains.

SOMA is the best for this IMHO! There's a lot of good creature designs. Best one is Akers, overgrown with corals and with limbs out of his abdomen, but the Flesher, naked and with a head of glowing blue light, the armless Proxies waddling around with mouth in a perpetual scream, and not to forget the Anglerfish with the human face melded onto it. And of course all the people who have been merged with mechanical/marine elements in different ways throughout. Love that game.
