Production Thoughts

Yeah, it’s a totally usable DAW, but those things especially is just dumb design imho.

Yeah, for me it was DanceEjay in middle school → Cracked Cubase 5 when i was 17 (didn’t understand shit) → Cubase 6 when I started studying at 19 and did my first ever self recorded black/death metal demos → FL Studio → Ableton Live. Also touched on ProTools and Logic when I did my BA.

When I was ready to move to a new DAW / sequencer I had thought about Logic but they had just became Mac only.

Even though I had been running Opcode Vision on an old Mac, I was moving over to a PC.

Demoed Cubase and Ableton Live and Ableton won. It worked for my workflow. I was still running a hardware studio.

I mean….that’s pretty much what sonnox inflater does

this visco plugin is sick

if i were doing trap (one shot drums) i would really check it out

its like you can blob a single hit into another or it treats drum hits like jello - so you can make these insane variations very quickly - and its very untechnical but vybz-y

really cool

bit like synplant but for drums you already decided was cool but then want to spice up (like crazy, like cosmonautically fuck up)

steal it from russian sites

I’m trying to put you in the honey hole.

When you’re the dj or producer (or both) thats been grinding, when you’re the one that has been taking time to better know what you’re doing with the equipment, when you’ve felt pain/ sacrifice/ failure or maybe even just subtle changes as a result of your choosing to becoming a dj/ producer,

and you get an opportunity to showcase your stuff. Expect to succeed. Don’t question “is this mix going hard enough?”, expect your mix to be hard. You’re the one that’s put in the time. You’re the one that’s been grinding. Expect your tracks to be hard af. Because when you’re the one thats been doing all that stuff, your work speaks for itself.

For anyone facing the daunting task of learning keys/piano and want to be able to freestyle a jam and it not sound like a cat walking over the keys: use the chromatic notes (the black ones) to begin with. They will always work together and you can go up and down the board making little ditty’s that are pleasant to the ears.
Way less intimidating than facing all 88 keys not knowing what scale is what except c major (all white)

No.

Just play each note slowly, learn the intervals by ear.

1 BigUp

No.

You assume every has an ear for the correct pitches in the scale.
I’ve tried this, get frustrated and failed.

So, if your a sound savant like para: do that.
Otherwise, get your fingers into playing sweet Melodie’s by starting chromatic and then when you’ve haven’t been turned off by frustration of trying to learn by ear and to play at the same time, then you can go on to learning scales, maybe by ear if you already can hear scales straight off.

I can’t. I get confused and frustrated. So YES to my way
