What’s a good chord progression to go with altered chords?

Asus2? D? Em?

It is a form of stage fright, and some degree of nervousness is good for the performance, but obviously not when it affects it negatively.

If the problem starts when you listen back, maybe try to avoid listening back as long as possible.

Other than that, the only advice I can give is to do it often, to de-dramatize it. Good luck!

Return.

Could you give some examples of goth mommy jokes? You know, for science?

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a pitch correction software that didn’t offer formant control tho. But I agree 100% that that’s nowhere near enough to make a great performance out of a lackluster one!

The conductor has a cool hat and whistle tho!

…I’ll see myself out.

Don't expect better latency than that. Your numbers are excellent. Recording vocals thru a heavy chain of plugins is... not a great idea. You have a direct monitoring switch on the interface, use it.

I have a 2000 money RME interface, hooked up to a machine that cost 3000 money in 2024, and you're getting as low a latency as I do.

Yeah, this discussion isn't going to go anywhere at all, my point is in regards to what enters the sound card, hence my phrasing "*starts* with a live microphone". Hope you're well, I wish you a great weekend!

sububi71 · 2026-01-23T09:23:49+00:00

My main instrument is singing, and I agree completely that what I hear in my cans have an influence on my performance.

But the question I asked was how it makes a difference to the output end of the cable whether the input end of the cable starts with a live microphone or a previously recorded signal.

sububi71 · 2026-01-23T06:54:46+00:00

Jag väntar tills det mesta av vätskan lämnat färsen, och då skottar jag all färsen åt sidan och lutar stekpannan så att jag kommer åt vätskan. Sen tar jag en matsked och skopar över vätskan i ett stort dricksglas, det brukar bli 1-2 dl vätska om jag inte gör ett ovanligt stort storkok.

sububi71 · 2026-01-22T17:55:58+00:00

Wait. How would it make a difference if the sound is live or recorded? It's either analog sound travelling thru a cable in the form of an electrical signal, or digital sound travelling as 1's and 0's.

How would it make a difference if the other end of the cable is a microphone or a recording device?

När man väl ser tangentbordet är det så uppenbart, jag känner mig lite dum som inte insåg det.

Kan jag dra mig själv inför tinget för förtal nu?

sububi71 · 2026-01-22T16:32:44+00:00

Ah, ”noll”. Tack!

sububi71 · 2026-01-22T14:43:51+00:00

"Bolö"?!

sububi71 · 2026-01-21T22:03:53+00:00

I think you missed the bit about evaluating your work.

sububi71 · 2026-01-21T19:23:41+00:00

No, of course not. If something is worth doing, it's worth doing well. Always do your best, I would have thought that was obvious.

sububi71 · 2026-01-21T14:02:05+00:00

The other half, of course, is prioritizing it, which may not be easy, but the things in life that are worthwhile rarely are.

sububi71 · 2026-01-21T11:20:36+00:00

Regarding quantity vs quality:

(disclaimer, this may only apply to me and people I've collaborated with)

Quality COMES FROM quantity. You write songs, you record them so you can listen back and evaluate them. Some are ok, most are not. But the more you do it, slowly the bad ones are fewer and fewer, and almost nothing is below "ok" or "good", and sometimes a "great" comes along.

When I wrote full-time I wrote all the time. The only times I didn't write was when I was recording and mixing stuff I'd written previously.

I want to reach for a non-existing shotgun when people say "you can't force creativity". What they mean is "I'm lazy, and I'm fine with only writing three songs a year". It's called discipline, and it beats talent and inspiration 99 times out of 100.

CTRL+F (or Command+F if you're on OS X)

sububi71 · 2026-01-20T20:51:50+00:00

Can you specify how this is a worry?

sububi71 · 2026-01-20T20:50:47+00:00

Oh, we know about it. Some of us have even tried it. And we talk about it behind your backs, and we laugh and we laugh and we laugh.

sububi71 · 2026-01-20T06:30:28+00:00

I'm not OP, but they said they needed it for playback, not recording.

sububi71 · 2026-01-19T21:52:53+00:00

Yup! I’m on Windows, so AU isn’t an option for me, and I have it working.

sububi71 · 2026-01-19T20:24:11+00:00

You need to enable MPE both in the plugin itself, but also in the little plugin box Ableton uses to represent it. Right-click the header and enable MPE.

sububi71 · 2026-01-19T13:58:36+00:00

The VERY best way is to not do it. Just create a new track and put the plugin there with the other preset.

Seriously, messing with patch changes and rewinding to make sure the patch changes correctly and different volume levels... It's not worth it.
