wantted to reply in depth but i forgot
tmrw or before friday
point is you can copy media items with automation
sry i forgor
.
@cyclopian or @Ryan ?
Some sort of cyc-para hybrid
Ryan isnt real
You could only know that if you’re Ryan 
p sure enabling this should do the trick, even with copying, the button should be there by default, but if it’s not you can create one from action list
Ill give it a whirl later. Pretty sure I have tried it before though and it didnt work for me
I’m sure the modules you bought have documentation
Is pushing sounds into the red the same as adding distortion?
No although it does add distortion, but not the good kind.
Essentially this
While overloading a signal results in natural compression and musical distortion in the analog domain, the digital domain is cut and dry. When you overload a signal in the digital domain, it clips hard– meaning the waveform is literally chopped off at the top, resulting in an ugly, jarring distortion that nobody wants to hear. There is no natural compression. There is no musical distortion. There is just a grating BUZZ.
to be fair, there is something to be said for digital hard clipping - but it’s best as a controlled process used precisely and carefully, not applied with abandon unless you genuinely like the sound for a given sound design purpose (I disagree with the idea that digital clipping is “just bad” where analog distortion/saturation is “good” , theyre just different to me)
now if you’re talking about running physical hardware into the red, that can be different, especially if its analog, you can get all sorts of distortion types depending on what type of component is being overdriven. experimenting can often lead to interesting results but don’t ever do something because you’re “supposed to”, do it because in that instance it actually sounds better than before
and definitely don’t run your tracks or master in a daw in the red in general (unless for a very specific purpose, but in general a no no)
This is what I assumed Ryan was asking in relation to.
I figured if someone didnt know the difference between redlining and adding distortion via a VST then the red = bad approach would probably be a good starting point.
yeah only reason I referenced both is I know hes gotten into modular recently so there might be times where it could applied creatively there
get in the habit of not peaking any tracks over -3 or so in the daw as a rule of course, standard advice but good
Good point, had forgotten that.
Wow interesting. All my music is produced in my room and I still live with my parents, so levels are drastically different to someone who lives near say, an earth-tribe in South Africa. My perception of what sounds good is affected by this natural limiter. Therefore what is hype and what is good music is relative to the natural limits.
In other words my parents frequently tell me to turn down the music. Bitter sweet but I’m finding a silver-lining.
can you find out if the earth-tribesmen in south africa clip their master while you’re there
