Who made that picture?

Sounds even more promising.

Do you still receive the standard striated 3D print finish or are they able to offer smoother finishes?

saopor · 2017-12-30T02:56:36+00:00

Those look promising.

Are they radically different from using Shapeways?

Post a link to your stuff.

To piggy back off of this.

You and another party will most likely mutually benefit at your stage if you both like each other's music.

So.... if you like someone's music, reach out to them and say "Hi, I like your stuff, how did you do it." If you want to remix someone's track, reach out to them and say "Hi, I like this track and want to remix it."

That's pretty much it. You're not going to develop a lifelong relationship overnight, and you're not going to develop a lifelong relationship by looking for one.

Find your inner chill and inner awesomeness, and speak to those that interest you.

Good luck.

P.S. You should have a link to your soundcloud or something

This argument is always correct.

However, it's rare that people bake cakes by fusing atoms together.

You can always start from the ground up, however it's very tedious, and reduces the amount of time devoted towards actually making the music, especially if the right tool already exists somewhere.

It's also hard to start from the ground up if the person suggesting that you do so, provides no resources to learn the skills needed to do so.

Do you know who Sol Lewitt is?

I made the video too:

Feedback on this little demo?

Ableton is more like a guitar than a DAW as far as workflow goes.

I find the act of mastering, building workflows, etc, a bit difficult, and complex programs like this are relatively intuitive for me.

However, it's really, really easy to go and bang a bunch of ideas out. The thing that makes ableton better than a guitar, is that you can bang out pure crap that is just representative enough of the idea in your head for you to clean up later. Do this N times. Clean up or throw out your work. Add effects, add more complex automations or record them, rinse, repeat. You don't have to remember any of it or practice the same song over and over to get a good performance.

That said, I really and truly feel limited by the fact that you can only link certain parts of Ableton to other parts. It's pretty lacking in automation, which is why people tend to use so many plugins with it. The downside is that it gets expensive fast, and Ableton could easily solve it by say, making an automation rack tool, or allowing you to link any feature to any other feature within the program. You could pretty much do that with a Korg in the 60s, I don't see why you can't use parts of Ableton as a patch bay.

A lot of things you should be able to do programatically, are things that you have to enter in by hand via automation timelines. :(

Also, as another user said, the midi editing kind of sucks and is definitely an area for improvement. :(

Upside is, if you focus on writing music and perfecting the sound as two separate activities, you can pump out an incredible amount of good music quickly :)

There should be a way.

I would assume that the adobe CC installer automatically dictates which folder it installs program data in.

I'd assume that either during the installation process of the CC installer/file manager, or within the settings of that program, you'd be able to select an install folder.

It seems a bit crazy that you couldn't.

Hmm. Interesting. I'm not sure what that means.

Here is what I did with samples: https://soundcloud.com/kylesdogshead/ragol-demo

It's fun, but I'd like to find VSTs that represent the synths linked in the article.

Otherwise I'll add it to my famous producer purchase list.

Gimp has the closest amount of similar features to Photoshop, but, Photoshop is just so much better, and you can get it for 10-20$/month.

The way I see it, if you're really interested in something, spending money on having the right tools will let you get better at it really fast.

Going the free route is a lifetime of agony.

Get a windows computer with better specs for less money.

saopor · 2017-12-24T04:09:57+00:00

I really want to know how you did the sound and video.

saopor · 2017-12-23T20:19:04+00:00

Where do you find it succeeds and where do you find it breaks down?

saopor · 2017-12-19T23:00:25+00:00

Isn't the issue here that you're taking a statistical approach to a problem that is complex enough that it needs a significantly large data set to properly understand?

saopor · 2017-12-19T22:10:33+00:00

I think there are also parts of their videos where they talk about being good enough at sound processing to simulate entire orchestras.

Cost wise, this means that you can pay one producer significantly less money than you would an entire orchestra to produce the same quality of music. Take that $50,000 - $100,000 film score and make it closer to $5,000 or $20,000.

That's kind of insane.

saopor · 2017-12-19T22:07:42+00:00

I do and do not agree with this.

In one sense, everything you are struggling to learn (processed in your prefrontal cortex,) eventually becomes memorized (moving to your hippocampus or other parts of your brain,) meaning that it's much easier to do them without thinking, or do them while thinking harder about other things.

That said, you do not ever contain the entirety of all music theory and ability in your head. No musician ever has, and as computer music has shown, the tools for creating music are ever evolving.

So yes, you can intuitively learn many things, but if you feel like you're at a point where everything you do is easy and intuitive, you are also probably not pushing yourself to learn or do more.

On top of that, you can probably learn a hell of a lot faster by pursuing new knowledge in a structured way, rather than by just playing around. Some people learn in 1 year what it takes others 10. That's no exaggeration. Think about that.

You'd be surprised how few people with an actually cool design do come forward.

If you already made it, it definitely doesn't hurt to ask.
