Re: Eating well

Check out intermediate fasting. Before all the hollywood types got word of it it was a respected way to stay leaner which still is highly practiced in the fitness community. It's not so much what you eat but how much and for how long in the day you actually consume calories. It also helps if you do ...

Re: Dolby Atmos

Surround sound is great for movie theaters, but for music it's a doomed attempt really. Most people listen to music with either cheap headphones or some small, portable mono speaker. Very few (normal people, not music producers) have even a proper stereo speaker setup anymore. I really don't see a ...

OK scrap that. I'm not getting an LXR or Perkons. I've come to the realisation I just don't like synthetic drums all that much, which was causing my constant indecision over a drum machine.

Re: Plug-in alternatives/workarounds (Mac ballache)

Every daw must have a stock EQ with mid side functionality I imagine. Just low cut the side. Ableton has 'Utility' with a bass mono button. Seems a waste for something so simple to have to have some specific 3rd party plugin to do it.

Re: Boomers yellling at clouds ie what's the number one thing you hate the most about modern techno?

My number one pet peeve is more or less the super annoying "the main musical motif only appearing during the breakdown"-arrangement, which is very common nowadays. Many modern techno things can be seen as purely subjective and taste-based, but imo that one simply always and quite objectively makes ...

A random guy online (ie. a very reliable source) once told me has likes to put four all pass filters on the kick drum at around 120Hz At first I'm like an all pass filter at 120Hz...how does one set the frequency of an all pass filter or is there a resonance bump at 120Hz?

Recently added to my outbound gear including 2 x RND 542 tape emulators and 1 dual channel TubeDrve by singular audio (think Culture Vulture in a 500 series affordable package) placed into a RND R6 Lunchbox. I have 2 open slots so if anyone has any suggestions, let me know.

There's Discord and Telegram groups, too. Good call actually, kinda forgot about Discord despite using it daily for non-music related stuff. Are there any particularly good Discord channels for electronic music production talk or alternatively, DJ talk that somehow hasn't turned into a giant spamfe...

Re: Lost in 2023

Sounds like you're working your way into paralysis. Just as you do with tracks do with your aliases. Prune and be critical to which ones demand your full attention. If you have fans they will wait.

Re: Mix bus EQ/processing best practices

Pultec is a channel eq. It is mono! To find two vintage pultec eqs which would match adequately for master bus processing would be nigh on impossible. Or have I missed your point? https://www.manley.com/pro/speq My point is there are lots of hardware eqs used to change the tone of (or even color) a...

Re: Mix bus EQ/processing best practices

I mean, sure, fine, EQ your master bus. But to me, if you do so, you are just admitting failure. Then what's a Pultec for? IMO, EQ wherever you want. I prefer EQ'ing on individual tracks first (in the context of the entire mix), then busses, then on the 2buss but the moves become much smaller. And ...

Re: ER-M Multiclock ableton setup question

That looks right to me in the Ableton setup. I have an RME interface so not sure how your card software works but in Total mix I can see the channel audio the plugin is sending out the channel. Maybe thats your issue? BTW...when I hit play in Ableton the light on the right side flashes red. Good luc...
