Production Thoughts

Never really paid much attention to the render settings in Reaper.
Anyone explain what resample mode is and which setting I should use?
It defaults to the highlighted one so I just always use that.

At a guess, it’s the quality of recording when resampling- recording a bit of time in your project to use as audio one shots/backing track
Try it out using each setting to see the difference in the setting and how they might apply to different styles/vibes ur going for

I feel like Hans Zimmer would know whether or not that option is worth paying any attention to.

Hans Zimmer would use all of them depending on usage prolly.

But ye, @sleeps there’s a whole lot of science behind sample rates and bit depth, look to the manual (rtfm). Can link some Nyquist frequency tech nerd shit if you want to study it deeper.

Hans Zimmer is probably a real busy person, just like I’m sure Nikol Strobachova is.

that’s just like how you post on here

Playing M̶a̶s̶o̶n̶ devil’s advocate here though, I do agree with two things in Zimmy’s tart retort;

  1. if you’re not actively working in the same medium or have reasonable curatorial bona fides (like Rodigan to reggae or MKS to embers breaks) then you should probably stfu; leading to the next point…

  2. if you’re gonna critique - like for real - then at least try a little bit harder than slating it all as ‘boring’ - goddammit, tell me WHY it’s boring ffs, and I don’t mean you should throw terrible hyperbolic analogies at me…

Sheeeit.

In the end tho you should really be spending time disputing his claim over the Braaam lol. Clearly truhedz©️ kno bout many Braaams before like in DnB days…

the guy saying it’s boring is probably just talking about what he expected out of the film - he feels the score could have been an opportunity to show something else going on than the traditional, I guess

nothing more trad ost than hans zimmer

having said that, i think it was pretty good tbh, i usually hate zimmer but thought it was more than decent vibes

was Eno that did the original innit - hard to follow - aswell as live up to

make it better than Lynch and oh the dad of Ambient

bird song is one of the things that sort of argues this theory

bird sing is percussive and random, they cant produce the same ‘note’ or melody ever again - they basicly fire off a percussive arp that the beak filters and resonates, that is then caught by the wind and then resonates against the environment which prolong the percussive notes so they seem like tonal notes - its just twangs being propelled into a few acoustic frames (body, beak, environment > listeners skull, ear, brain) - like a piano - but its a bird and there’s no strings only bones

and thats just theory - but what is implied is that both drum or percussive instrument, and tonal or melodic instruments could/should be freed up, and/or used in less rigid ways

techno and sub genres of techno that deal with microrhythms and looser instrumentation/more abstract instrument roles is cool, but its 99% of the time genres that still very very heavily rely on kicks and basic pulse rhythms

the rhythm section and the strings, keys, winds , synths, real world sound recordings, foleys could be used way more interchangeably or less rigid or become less identifiably and adventurous - if music dared go in that direction

make music like birds do
listen to birb - become birb

look at octopus visualizing and identifying 4D time as vapor segments - do octopedial synaesthetic beats
