Re: Are you in control of your own thoughts, actions and decisions?

Nope. I have to eat so I'm forced to work. I have to work so I have to look, talk and think like a good candidate for the position and get the job. Self-moderation and adjusting to circumstances can be perceived as being in control. :) I'm not entirely sure I understand of what exactly would we be ...

[Moombahton] Consent

Hi guys, So here's my latest track. I made all of these sounds except the video game synth which is a preset. Been working on my music making process. I make a separate project file for sound design/ drumkit creation, composition/arrangement, mixing and mastering. I tried to make the drums punchier....

Re: (nu-disco, bootleg) Ring my bell feat. Anita Ward

EDM is shifting toward deeper, more soulful house, so you're in the right track. I would work the mix a bit more so the vocal stands out.

[Melbourne Bounce]Banda R 15 - Si Tu Boquita Fuera (Paco Robles Bootleg)

This is the track I talk about at https://forum.reasontalk.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=7502518 tl;dr I had trouble having the original song keep the tempo. I make ALL of my sounds - Layer drums, synths. I make Combis for creating drums, sub bass. I give stereo width to my sounds using the Malstrom's spr...

How to get live music to keep a computer tempo.

So I did a bootleg of an old Mexican track. [Will add the URL at the right sub-forum] I was wondering if you guys have done anything similar. Mostly I'm concerned to getting live music to keep a computer-clock tempo. Getting the samples to sit right with the electronic bits took a lot of manual edit...

Re: How to get that Lo-Fi Sound

I've found the vocoder has a bitcrusher function. Set to EQ, set bands to 4-8. Scream has a surprisingly useful digital distorsion mode as well. You can also separate 3 different bands using Spiders and the EQ faders in it for multiband processing.

Yes SC updated on the matter. To me, their words are worthless. However, someone else tweeted about supporting SC: Chance the rapper. I believe him.

Re: What stock device is best for simple gain adjustment?

I use each device's volume knob and the one in the mix channel. Except I usually need to turn them down. You mentioned the mixer channel gain knob changed dynamics. Maybe that is the glue compressor that is set to on.

Re: (Eclectic) International Keys

This is very interesting. There is some unexpected twists in this track. I can tell you placed more emphasis on composition and arrangement than sound design. They could use a little more development. Some more mixing work is needed so the twists are more palatable. Right now the track sounds rather...

Maybe consider compressing the master a bit less next time. the track sounds a little harsh. It's a good one though.

Re: ElfenFuck - Realism

I see you went for dynamic range rather than loudness. This is some good shit. That organ around 3:30 may take a little too much headroom in the mix at least in my speakers. But that is me nitpicking. Very well done.

Re: (Future Bass) 9th Song

Oh wow, that tempo change at the beginning is a nice touch. I think the synths have a little too much edge that could have belonged to the drums. Nice work though.

Re: (Techno-ish) Prepostpseudocorestepwave

Great job. I would make the beat a little more in your face. Also perhaps make the different riffs flow a little more with transitions that are less abrupt.

Re: Be honest, do you use presets often?

I do, BUT they almost never fit what I want without even a slight change - so I substitute the preset with my modified version for future uses.
