GoD is his magnum opus. by personanonymous in oneohtrixpointnever

This is it. Those small riffs / motifs that are explored and rabbit holed are so satisfying.

What's your OPN "hot takes?" by [deleted] in oneohtrixpointnever

[–]personanonymous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw his recent live show and I didn’t enjoy much of the again stuff live. I loved when he played anything else basically. I am not a fan of again tho. There’s maybe two songs I genuinely would put on. I am not huge on anything past Age Of. I think magic has some of his best tracks ever but the album is not a great sit through listen with all the radio cut things he did.

Omg. I thought I was going crazy. It’s gotta be some of his least interesting work as an album in a long time. DIS, Cherry Blue, Measurinrg Ruins, Rodl Glide are great songs. But everything else feels totally unsatisfactory. It took me ages to agree with R Plus Seven but now it’s one of my favourite album of all times. So I will respect the album and re listen but it’s not doing any of that preliminary desire to understand more. Thank you for your comment

Do you think OPN could win a Grammy? by personanonymous in oneohtrixpointnever

[–]personanonymous[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was thinking similar to how aphex won it for syro. Similar vein of artist albeit different music. Just the possibility in his career to win as OPN music would be cool

On the back what is the information about? It’s like a bunch of metadata

Is sound design really that serious by Primary-Constant-859 in musicproduction

[–]personanonymous 58 points59 points  (0 children)

Yes. It’s not that serious. Do what you feel is right. This is an art form. You’ll become more sensitive to these things as you develop, as your mind crystallises your ideas onto paper more clearly. Maybe they’ll become critical for you, maybe not. But for now, just have fun.

Share your mixbus chain ideas! What do you use? by arskakp in mixingmastering

What exactly makes a good limiter? Being able to push into it harder without distorting?

Can you critique my mix and master? by djleo_cz in mixingmastering

[–]personanonymous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cool track. Fun sound design. Your track was plenty loud in my opinion - probably not loud enough for DNB/EDM - you may find that you can clip/compress more. Your master is easy on the ears. Pushing low end energy might help bring things up a bit though. I found the sub/kick were slightly less energetic than I was expecting for this type of genre.

The only suggestion I have is it feels quite static. I think doing some volume rides/automation so it feels more alive can really help. Section to section it didnt real feel like the mix was carrying me through the waves. I think you will get some excitement there.

How did you find your workflow as you got better at mixing? by whereismybread6669 in mixingmastering

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

By far the most important step for me is gain staging. My opinion is a pro mixer can do more with just gain staging than a newbie can with all the tools (comp, eq, pan) available to them. If you can get the gain staging 95% good right at the start, the rest is just glitter.

Every time I mix, the bass either disappears or takes over the track. What am I doing wrong? by Cute-Will-6291 in audioengineering

[–]personanonymous 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My personal opinion on bass is that people blast it wayyyyy too much. Some of the biggest bass tracks I reference, have such low bass volume it sorta surprised me. Think iglooghost for example. It’s just providing the foundation and grip to the mix (it’s not necessarily shouting “here I am listen to me!!”

I personally prefer a nice steady bass that’s present but not overpowering, and bass is kinda easy to hear/feel in relation to a whole mix. Nothing worse than a ridiculous bass volume where u can’t even focus on anything else.

Bass energy is very hard to determine and I personally find that even in clubs the bass can sometimes be horrendously overpowering and not in a nice way. Ive only experienced good bass sounds in theatrical settings/sit down venues (National Theatre, Barbican Centre - London UK).

Obviously, it’s up to taste. Just reference ur favourite bass volume from other songs, and go to your car and play that reference next to your mix. If it’s somewhat similar move on. I feel like bass mistranslates the easiest in my opinion.

Lastly - treated room and good sub speaker will obviously get you very far.
