Really digging this "Efdemin Artist Tips" feature...

https://www.xlr8r.com/gear/artist-tips-efdemin What struck me especially, was how he talks about limiting oneself to 4 - 8 channels. I think that's one of the reasons why he creates such timeless and memorable music... if you just focus on a few elements (amd get them right) instead of getting lost ...

how to do a facebook live with your ableton video and audio?

hi guys, does anybody have some experience on this? i want to share my video (easy, fb offers that option), and computer audio (somewhat tricky, as i can only access my computer microphone). i tried a combination of a virtual sound card "apowersoft audio device" and "audio hijack" to create a virtua...

Rave Generator 2 is out!

hey guys, it's been out since a few months already, but i only discovered it now, guess many of you won't know it yet at all... rave generator 2 is an amazing "rompler" where they sampled tons of 90ies rave stabs as well as a few vocals. i loved version one already, but it had many limitations (no e...

UAD Oto Biscuit emulation for 125 € - is it worth it?

Hi guys, in UAD's current sale this plug can be had for 149 €, and they give a further 25 € discount voucher. I demo'ed it a while ago and really liked it but have no longterm experience. Does anybody have it since a while? Do you feel it's really worth the 125 € for somebody who already has a few m...

Does your Macbook get too hot/loud? Here's the solution

Just replied to another Macbook thread here which reminded me of a problem i had (and solved) when i got my new Macbook 15 inch Retina. Secondhand that is, from 2013. Following years on a super quiet 13 inch MBP, i got the 15 inch one, and initially it became extremely loud, the fans sounded like a ...

Re: Macbook Advice...

My 2 cents: they are expensive as fuck as new machines, but when you work all in the box, you really do appreciate the power of a 4 core 15 inch MBP. I worked on a 2,7 GHZ 13 inch MBP for a year of intense production and had it maxed out all the time, forcing me to raise the buffer size etc. Then on...

I have an SH-01A since a month or so. Not quite sure what to think of it.

Re: Andre Crom - Mind Control

Listened to your postings here. I'd say mixwise you're on the way. There seem to be no major problems. My criticism goes out to your sounddesign. This may be a matter of taste, but all in all it sounds like you've learned the basics of techno and focus too much on 'how it should be done'. The resul...

Re: Andre Crom - Mind Control

No complaints with the mix really, that bassline could be more center panned. The vocal get's a bit grating after a while, needs more FX IMO. By the way, this is your 4th post in less than two weeks, yet I only see one feedback post from you in that timeframe. If you're going to post that much, you...

Re: Perfectionism turns into self-doubt

for me, imperfection is just part of the process. if you listen to a lot of early works of (today) big producers, they were technically imperfect, especially the stuff from the 90ies. but also quite some of today's works have mixdown's that could be argued with. maybe not the more mainstream things ...

Sounds pretty finished to me, would love to get more input to how to potentially make it better though.

Thx!

does anybody have the reaktor ensemble "daDigital50"?

as said above... it's supposed to be based on the original roland d50 samples which is why it was pulled from the ni reaktor community library. anybody got it? if you have any other tasty and rare 80ies 90ies synth / reaktor recreations, i'd be all ears as well. let me start with this emulation of t...

Re: Andre Crom - Dione

Sounds good. Those sweeps around 1:30 sound a bit out of tune to my ears. I'm curious, how loud is the mix in terms of RMS? Is there limiting on the master? yea it's kind of a recycle of an older project, well possible i need to repitch the sweeps. i always use the following chain on my master when...

Re: Izotope Trash 2 - industrial sounds out of the box.

as mentioned above, analogue heat is a great box. however, as i like to be able to edit any sound at any stage of the production process, i find myself to not use it much anymore, and instead keep things in the box. trash2 can do many things which the analogue heat can't do as it offers a combinatio...

if you have further recommendations for similar plug's im all ears... but to me so far, trash2 is miles ahead of its competitors.

sting and rozzer are amazing step sequencers.

and i second the lfo tool recommendation, great to give life to static sounds.
