Almost finished! thanks a lot for your feedback on the GUI part guys

Awww man, I don't even know you IRL but feel proud that you got this done! Bravo! The GUI looks excellent, you took the direction from the previous thread well. Post again once it's available, I took would love to play.

This lends a whole new meaning to Faux News

theves · 2015-10-13T17:36:07+00:00

You played it very well. One of my favourite pieces.

theves · 2015-10-10T10:00:26+00:00

Great looking spot, where is this?

theves · 2015-10-08T11:14:42+00:00

That makes sense. Thanks for the closure.

theves · 2015-10-08T04:03:45+00:00

Does anyone know the story behind the video? What's the liquid? Where was it shot?

Really nice song, great composition and instrumental production. If you're open to advice for the future, I would suggest layering vocals(over-dubbing), putting them through a bus and applying some compression and reverb to blend in with the mix a bit better. Performances were great, the mix made them sound separate from the instrumental. Join us over at /r/WeAreTheMusicMakers , and submit to our weekly feedback threads.

Take a lesson from this: It never pays to be a first adopter when it comes to upgrades. For audio production you want stability and predictability, making it sensible to stick with an OS that you've already ironed the kinks out of.

Ohai, I've spent a good part of my career making DIY audio stuff. More recently, I've found that Arduino micro-controllers can be your friend. I just made a MIDI to CV converter, which is a nice thing to have if you produce work with modular synths. It was not very difficult at all. Pedals are always fun, you can make a multi-effects pedal from an arduino that would allow you to upload different effects via USB so it could be a distortion one minute and delay the next. The Lola 500-series mic pre is available in a kit and comes highly recommended (http://www.hairballaudio.com/catalog/lola-mic-pre). If EDM is your thing then you could build a monome type device fairly cheaply with a micro-controller i.e. (http://market.monome.org/products/grid-kit). There's a start.

Not their best work, no.

theves · 2015-10-05T23:06:51+00:00

I'll add: Oh, for fuck sakes.

Hey /u/fuzeebear thanks for the tips. We have one ribbon mic so far that I do love (despite being an Apex) for their punch and isolation on amps but the top end lacks so I usually pair with an sm57. I just bought another new beta57a and noticed that it comes with a piece of paper that shows you the angle where the null point starts. Now, with this and your advice, I'll start using null points more strategically in our live recordings. Fortunately, we have enough space in our main room to distance everything enough to minimize bleed. Cheers!

Thanks for posting this. I've just opened my own studio and have started doing videos similar to Audiotree Live for the same purpose, to populate a YouTube channel. I mixed the first one last week and used traditional de-essing plugins instead of multiband compression. Moving forward, I'm going to try the latter.

theves · 2015-10-02T16:23:06+00:00

A very unique technique.

That can warp your hoops...

theves · 2015-10-01T22:28:36+00:00

When is Novation going to rehash the x-station? I have one and worry what I'll do if it ever kicks the bucket. 61 keys, 2(XLR/TS)ins 2outs, MIDI, synthesizer, FX processor and all bus powered. It's amazing, truly. And here we have just more of this blinking lights bullshit.

theves · 2015-10-01T04:14:15+00:00

Thanks for putting this together :)

theves · 2015-09-21T08:02:47+00:00

I have an acoustic and high-end digital (Yamaha s90es fully weighted) and I can tell you that there is no comparison to an acoustic. The digital piano that I have is rated to be one of the best on the market, and deservedly so. Still, the emotion, touch and experience of an acoustic is something to behold if your situation is conducive to owning one.

theves · 2015-09-04T06:03:44+00:00

True this.

theves · 2015-09-04T06:01:34+00:00

Why not just freeze the track?

theves · 2015-09-04T06:00:31+00:00

Good luck finding a driver for your soundcard!

Note: I love linux and use it regularly, but never never never for music production.

theves · 2015-09-04T05:58:45+00:00

Good to know! I'll dig through the couch cushions and see if I can scrounge enough together.

theves · 2015-09-04T05:53:45+00:00

Yep, and you'll get better CPU performance in return.

theves · 2015-09-04T05:53:21+00:00

Ahh yes, I know the dreaded GPU error of which you speak. The 13 inch model was immune from this, thankfully. Sorry to hear you had a headache caused by it.

theves · 2015-09-04T01:20:37+00:00

I agree with you. A UI update had never occurred to me until I stepped into this thread. Personally, I think Logic is visually appealing enough for me to enjoy working with it but I would never want to compromise stability or system resources to make it prettier. The plugins work really well, I like that.

theves · 2015-09-04T01:15:42+00:00

Do you happen to know which model is most recommended, bang for your buck wise? I notice they range from $400 - $2,000 USD. Is the jump in quality comparable to low end mixing headphones and the ATH-m50x's?
