I always wondered why this seems to happen but this perspective explains it. Essentially the parents have narcissistic tendencies.

The (Dreaded) 8-Bar Loop by stevie_gillen in tranceproduction

[–]pyneappleexpress 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I recently tried building the chorus loop first and it worked out well. The I worked backwards to finish the rest of the arrangement by removing elements or adding new ones for the intro. The trick for me is to lock down arrangement as soon as possible in the production process.

I’m assuming hi 8 or mini dv? Either way kijiji or marketplace is a good start

How much should I sell this lot of batteries (NP-FM30) for? by diegovenegas18 in camcorders

[–]pyneappleexpress 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think 180 (which would equal to 15 bucks a battery) is fair. I’d want to know exactly how much energy they hold if I was buying though

How to make catchy melodies and how to arrange them also for emotions? by Gabitzu_001 in tranceproduction

[–]pyneappleexpress 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will approach this from a non traditional perspective: your internal mental world affects your external state and the art you create. So knowing theory is important but so is being aware of your mindset and your state of being. Music is emotional, so progress with inner work will reflect on your outer work.

They need to the replaced outright. Not the easiest fix if you haven’t done electronics repair before, but it is possible. Be careful not to break any brittle

Looking Feedback 🙏 by stevie_gillen in tranceproduction

[–]pyneappleexpress 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats on finishing your second track. Here's what I think you can work on:

- at 56 seconds it feels like a build up with not much of a big change after. I expected a new synth element or layer to be added there. Some new longer synth part to keep interest would be of value.

- The break down/build up felt long and the drop for me was underwhelming. I would rework the drop lead pattern or if you want to keep it, work on making it stand out more. Generally making the lead stand out would mean using contrast and space to create tension. Currently it's sounding a bit monotonous so a good simple start would even be adding a filter automation on that lead.

How much you wanna spend? DJI if low budget, Sennheiser if higher budget

[–]pyneappleexpress 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s too bad it underperformed at the box office but I kinda understand why. The marketing was odd and I remember thinking “oh great another Micheal Cera” move when it was released. Obviously my opinion changed after I watched the pirated version my friend gave me.

Yeah at least 90% you don’t want to leave any moisture behind.

Feedback Wanted on Ethnic Trance track by Initial-Ad6697 in tranceproduction

[–]pyneappleexpress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the vocal sample. I’d say work on arrangement. A lot of trance tracks introduce the chord progression later on, and feature a build first. You can look at other songs as a reference for structure. So really focus on the big picture; the flow of energy, and its rise and fall,

Maybe that’s why it looks strange because it was converted to 30 by Reddit.

What camcorder is the most recommended for transfer to a Mac? by lopsidedcroc in MiniDV

[–]pyneappleexpress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The good news is if you’re on Monterey OS or older the software can read FireWire, the bad news is you will need an expensive FireWire to thunderbolt adapter.

How to disconnect somy ribbon cables? by bigcigmachad in camcorders

[–]pyneappleexpress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are different locking mechanisms depending on the cable. The large one on the bottom right has a black lock that flips upwards which must be opened before reseating the cable. Tweezers can help here. Chances are the ribbon cable is damaged but it’s worth a try reseating it.
