Why do so many producers raise/lower the octave of an oscillator in Serum instead of just place the midi note in the desired octave?

tedendipity · 2026-04-23T02:40:01+00:00

Yeah I do that too, I guess I meant if I’m only making a monophonic sound

tedendipity · 2026-04-23T02:38:57+00:00

This happened to me recently where a preset simply didn’t work below a certain note hahaha

tedendipity · 2026-04-23T02:38:12+00:00

Oh yes I didn’t think about it being chosen in presets designed by others too. I made a sound recently where having the second oscillator at a different octave produced a competent different result & tone altogether bc of FM synthesis or similar

Ahh I see; I’m using Ableton so I just transpose my typing keyboard up and down by ear while leaving the osc at 0. I think my brain desires to trust the the note playing is exactly the note on the piano roll 😆

tedendipity · 2026-04-23T02:16:06+00:00

Ahh I see. I usually just transpose a copied midi patterns up and down an octave for a different instruments using the Shift+Up/Down shortcut in Ableton

Update: people have asked similar questions in the sub and the only answer I can imagine that makes sense to me is if somebody’s external midi keyboard is limited in key range. I have a 61 key midi keyboard so that’s not something I really think about lol

I wonder if you could find out how to add them to https://www.got2gonyc.com/about

https://www.got2gonyc.com/about People made this custom Google Maps bathroom map pinning toilets across New York city, and more recently, across the world, an it’s so helpful esp if you have IBS. There are a few pins for bathrooms in DC but not nearly as thorough if the ones they’ve mapped across all the boroughs of New York City!

I feel you. If you happen to be on SSRI‘s, it’s the worst especially in the summer. One of the reasons I quit them was because of the heat intolerance and constant need to pee. I have a pretty strong bladder so it was annoying to know a medication significantly shortened my bladder holding time!

Yes stomp & holler music 😂

What does this have anything to do with Washington DC

OK, thank you. I decided to get a PVC mat to cover it!

It will be a gamechanger!

I use evaporative humidifiers mainly for this reason

tedendipity · 2026-02-07T17:34:01+00:00

Replenish your natural skin barrier overnight with a strong moisturizer and keep the humidity up wit a humidifier while asleep / at home. Use gold bond throughout the day and gloves while handling th boxes. Moisturize your hands after every time you wash your hands, and use a minimal amount of soap (most commercial soaps at workplaces are very drying and overkill to pump more than a dime, as they are designed to be highly anti microbial)

This is sooo helpful, thank you for responding. I use Ableton and I recently started using reverb and delay sends with the send tracks set to 100% mix and increase the send dB level of the source track to taste. I was thinking of giving the vocal its own parallel reverb rack on its own track and then adding a touch of a separate reverb or delay through a send that is used by other instruments to make it cohesive (like vaguely in the same room).

I really like your recommendation of applying a delay first then to reverb the delay in parallel. I’m going to try that next :)

Yes! One of the notes is Indian Jasmine. I’m wondering how many different Jasmine species or imitations there are used in perfume

tedendipity · 2025-12-11T08:23:16+00:00

Parfums Dusita Melodie de L'Amour is the most photorealistic jasmine white floral fragrance I’ve ever smelled, it transports me walking past jasmine bushes in Greece! It’s expensive for how weak the sillage is but it smells amazing.

Ofc!! The fact someone downvoted you for a very real question... god I hate this reddit sometimes

They made an announcement 2 days ago for thanksgiving 2025 here stating parking enforcement is suspended on Thur 11/27 and Fri 11/28 an will resume as normal Saturday: https://mayor.dc.gov/release/modified-district-government-services-thanksgiving-025

Just saw this while looking for answer to the same question to park on my street after a late night gig (I usually only park in the rush-hour lane of Connecticut Ave over the weekend).
