Back on sale for €49 at https://vstbuzz.com/deals/82-off-freiraum-by-sonible/

That's a really good deal. I paid more just for Smart Eq.

Yes, I am a TOUGH COOKIE. ........... Next! And a tough cookie you shall be. Good thing you have your own thread now. ;) Music appreciation is a complicated subject in itself and I'm certainly not out to convince people of anything. I like referencing things for my own enjoyment and I spent some ti...

Boring!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Next?

He is basically referring to "beat makers", not producers in the actual sense. Everyone wants to be a "producer" nowadays - creates confusion. Take "real" producers of RnB/HipHop, Teddy Riley, Scott Storch, Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, Babyface, and the list goes on. They can play, but many of these bi...

He is basically referring to "beat makers", not producers in the actual sense. Yeah they seem to be interchangeable with a lot of folks just like how people call their bedroom with a controller and monitors a studio. When I think of music production, I think of a situation like Brian Eno working wi...

What's up folks! I've been taking notes and I wonder how people are doing with this?

As far as the comments about this being about beats, no, it isn't. It's about a dude making a hyperbole type statement and what follows is pretty lame. (I think is was reasonuser88 that said that) Producers hate me for exposing the secret of minimalism! :lol: Follow me on Instatwitterbook and buy m...

He was asking how many people have a kettle rather than a saucepan for boiling water with.

I prefer to cook my ramen noodles in a sauce pan rather than pouring water from a kettle. I think people who cook ramen noodles in a microwave need to reevaluate their lives.

I understand. But the viddy posted showed guys that at least LOOK the same (I mean, BB jerseys, wow, you are REALLY hip :lol: ) so I'm taking the high road. I made it through 57 seconds and couldn't take any more. I wouldn't mind so much if it wasn't all so self-aggrandising. But these "artists" ju...

I quit drinkin' again so I'm not watching that tonight :lol: Well good luck man. :thumbs_up: To be fair, the producer Pharrell is one of the best in the game, and it probably isn't fair for me to post a list of songs produced by some of the best in the game. :twisted: It is a good reference though ...

All sounds like a corporate horror show to me Producers hate me for point out that their beatz are copy and paste from the last 50 beatz that 20,000 other produca's make. :D They just use the same loopz. You made me do it. :clap: 20 Best (Unique) Minimal Rap Songs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tj...

Cancelled Audible and YouTube to cover the cost of joining an entrepreneurship club and also started EastWest Composer Cloud. :twisted: I cancelled my trial of Output Arcade. I haven't chimed in on the R11 mania but I will not be updating so no worries there. Update: Music Entrepreneur Club: $24.99 ...

I'm actually looking forward to some new instruments. Thanks!

This is such a display of the dumbing down of music. Fitting vocals into a mix is about judicious use of compression, limiting and EQ. You can fit vocals into a busy mix of rhythm parts and instrumentation if you actually know how to write music and rhythm parts which complement the vocal lines rat...

I hope you guys know you're supposed to dilute the apple cider vinegar before drinking it.

The important factors in this kind of music are rhythm and leaving space for vocals. Many producers have a hard time with doing too much believe it or not.

The manipulation of dopamine.

But these youtubers......good god. They really are convinced that they are so special when in fact they just sound like everyone else. I recently saw a video of a FL Studio user titled "How To Make Melodies Like A God" and he was basically just chopping up a loop. There are a lot of them who think ...

At least he admitted it's "so simple" :lol: He seems like a cool dude, but it's all too remedial for me. Don't get me wrong, I'm not some musical genius, I just think this is why everything sounds the same, It's like suburban houses, you can put different paint on them but in the end they are one b...

The problem with all of this is that it's a bunch of talk w/o any examples. In other words, he's trying to sell you on HIM and not on anything that is actually will make you better. And again, I'll bet 10 bucks he sounds just like the other guy we're talking about. At least he's not annoying to lis...

(sorry reasonuser88, that's just how it comes across to me) It ain't no offense to me. :lol: I subscribed to his website for twenty bucks and already have some valuable insight after just a few days. Edit: I probably won't remain a subscriber though to be completely honest. His club is very interac...

Well he is obviously trying to attract inexperienced users. Extracting chord progressions from songs with Melodyne was another point I wasn't aware of but his other points were kind of weak. It's like yeah no shit the "pro's" are using expensive microphones. Some kids on Reddit criticized him for ha...

Haven't watched.... But: You don't already soft clip your drums? You should, if you want to mix for loudness. If you use the mclass maximiser, make sure the signal is hot enough though. I think it should be at least about -9db or above on the maximiser meter for it to start soft clipping. Thanks. I...

I saw this recently and he has some good content. I was torn between joining his site vs Curtiss King from the previous thread. I went with Curtiss King and saw they collaborated on some content. Needless to say I'll be experimenting with soft-clipping the drums in my next project. I think that was ...

What an annoying man. I'm only an hour into his book The Prosperous Hip Hop Producer and I'm glad he did the narration for the Audible audio book. I should be able to squeeze in the rest of the five hours at work this weekend. https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51whHa%2BMUKL._AC_SY400...

I also can listen to something 50 times as much if it's somwhat nicely mixed. I can relate and I think it's inspiring to have a better idea of the end result especially in a genre like techno which relies heavily on mixing. I'm finding a lot of people in the beatmaking field offer track outs as a p...
