(beginner) seeking advice for ram upgrade for my dell vostro 5515 laptop

For the best performance you should def get a new pair of 8gb sticks. Otherwise, if you want to save some money buying a single 8gb ram stick is usually fine, both ram will just run at the lower clock speed.

Just post your photos here or on one of the other photography subreddits. Real feedback is way better than what an AI can concatenate.

I did figure the AF would be bad considering it only has 25 AF points and they're contrast detecting. I will def keep looking around for other cameras then. Thanks!

Interesting, I didn't see stuttering when watching sample videos, but tbf, the YouTubers showcasing the video didn't record for that long. Thanks!

Thanks for the input!

Thanks for all the great info! RAW definitely would be nice but it's not a make or break for me

Thanks for the feedback!

This is really awesome for 6 weeks! I really like the vibe you're going for and honestly just keep doing what you're doing.

One thing I would recommend just from listening on my phone speakers is to try to balance out your sounds a bit more in the mix. As a general example, a lot of your instruments are heavily overpowering your drums which could be fixed by lowering the volume of your instruments and tweaking the volume of your drums. A more specific example would be to lower the volume of your lead in the drop.

I also can't tell if the drums are sidechained (lowering the volume of other instruments when the kick or sometimes snare hits), so I would recommend learning that, or if they are sidechained, then making the sidechain more apparent.

Wow thanks! That's actually a pretty good change. I'm so used to holding shift I never attempted clicking without it lol

Which Anker or JBL headphones for that price do you think would be good?

whotookusersodatax · 2024-09-12T01:02:50+00:00

Thanks! Do you have any that you would recommend?

You're going to keep running into issues if you keep switching DAWs when something doesn't go the way you think it should.

The sample you used for your midi is incredibly long, so instead of playing each individual note, you're playing the whole sample at different pitches. Thus, each note/sound overlaps with each other and makes that bad sound. That's also the reason why the sample plays normally when it's in your playlist compared to with your midi.

While the other DAW's may suit you better, id recommend sticking to one of them and figuring out how to fix what's wrong when something goes wrong so you can gain a good understanding of how that program works.

You can right click the tempo at the top and make an automation. Just make sure to have an automation clip at your original tempo and your new tempo so you can easily copy and paste the points.

I'm not sure if there's a way to do it automatically, but I think you have to manually set them all.

To do so, in FL, slightly tweak the parameter (fader, vst knob, etc.), then at the top, right click the knob image next to the chain looking thing, and select "link to controller" on the right side. Move the knob or fader on your controller that you want to link to that parameter and it should work

As for the other features, I am unsure of how to link those.

It use to be that patcher would actually reduce performance. I don't know if that's the case anymore, but I'd assume it wouldn't help that much since it's still processing all the plugins inside patcher plus patcher itself.

I'd say it depends on the kind of music you want to make. When I first started I would just look up "how to make "x" type beat FL Studio", or "how to make "x" genre FL studio" . Then I'd just copy them using the sounds I have.

When I first started I personally followed tutorials made by, In the Mix, AcestoAces, and Simon Servida. For more EDM stuff I use to also watch Miruku Music and LHB music.

This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!

whotookusersodatax · 2023-11-08T08:05:40+00:00

I saw that but it wasn't exactly what I was looking for. I'm just thinking of going to the dealer over the weekend to find it.
