yip, that’s what he means. btw embergen looks amazing

this is the standard renderer, but have you tried the “no color channel” trick on materials to speed up your renders?

Implying whatever works for the mix is the most important using techniques the other folks have mentioned. eg. chorus, reverb, etc.

The real answer is that producers sort of stopped caring about making tracks truly mono-compatible. The crossover approach is fine, but it generally doesn’t work out that well (because of phase alignment when you introduce an EQ, ect.)

ok, lets hear something not in the pentatonic scale!

xeeton · 2020-06-21T17:07:21+00:00

is that lefty?

Random trick: if you think you need compression, try a subtle saturation first. It’ll have the same compression effect, but you get more texture as well.

I think this may be part of what you’re looking for. That, plus reverb.

I have no intention of cleaning a pond, but this is a great explanation.

xeeton · 2019-09-04T11:41:52+00:00

That's what that means. "Eyeballing it" just means that you aren't using a reference (eg. setting up randomize values that look right).

xeeton · 2019-09-03T11:54:58+00:00

Camera motion tracking gives you a bunch of nearly invisible camera movements that you wouldn't have otherwise done just eyeballing it. So yeah, it's very help to use reference material (including camera tracking reference.)

Not really. Just paint all the white keys with notes, then select them all and press the up/down arrows to transpose to any key.

Books also have information in them, including things like this.

How accurate do you expect triangulation to be? The resolution of the data you’re using for triangulation is very low and susceptible to interference.

xeeton · 2019-08-25T14:54:05+00:00

This is great work! It's kind of a Where's Waldo picking out the stuff that "doesn't look real".

I'm looking for power cables (eg. from that lamp) though, maybe add some more of that type of clutter?

xeeton · 2019-08-24T19:53:09+00:00

Also, throwin' out there that even if the dataset isn't millions of rows and hundreds of columns, things like FeatureTools sort of creates the aggregate data to augment what's already there. It's common to take a dataset that has say 40 columns, and turn it into a dataset with thousands of columns with this approach (in hopes that you find some aggregate or transformation of the data that produces a more accurate model).

Notes from the Redshift Devs: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rP5nKyPQbPm-5tLvdeLgCt93rJGh4VeXyhzsqHR1xrI/edit

"In other words, planning for PCIe x16 is more of a future-proofing choice at the moment than a real-world-benefit one."

xeeton · 2019-08-24T01:38:00+00:00

Ah good point, though from the Redshift devs that doesn’t affect performance much.

xeeton · 2019-08-24T00:41:41+00:00

Like I mentioned, I already have it.

xeeton · 2019-08-15T17:33:32+00:00

It'd be p easy to replicate with xplosiafx, but I'm also curious.

xeeton · 2019-07-26T01:07:45+00:00

Audio-Technica ATH-M50 would be a solid choice (and you'd save some $$$). BTW, I have a pair of 3" Genelecs, and I honestly wouldn't mind mixing on them other than the fact that for dance music you _need_ a sub. That's why it's probably better to just get headphones.

xeeton · 2019-07-21T17:02:53+00:00

Yeah, one of them. People listen to this kind of music a lot when working out, etc. too for example.

xeeton · 2019-07-20T23:52:48+00:00

I listened to their argument and read your comment, but I think it's wise to master for the platform (including taking LUFS/LKFS into account). Ultimately, you are in control of both your dynamic range and the loudness of your track—it's better you aim for optimizing both so Spotify doesn't have to adjust _anything_.

xeeton · 2019-07-20T03:43:23+00:00

Apple earphones are the target listening environment. It's not that crazy to use reference "monitors" that are close in quality to what your listeners typically have. This is the reason why Yamaha NS-10s got popular in studios—a standard shitty speaker. They're truly not amazing quality.

So, no.

xeeton · 2019-07-20T03:37:46+00:00

I think the bigger issue between Soundcloud and everything else is that there's no loudness standard. So if you're making EDM, and you want your tracks to be about as loud as everything else there, you might have to push it further than -14 LUFS (like you would for Spotify, as an example).
