    Website DAW

    Most of these aren't really DAWs, but those that are do it by having a dedicated team of software developers build the software. The thing really is that you need to figure out what you really want out of this feature on your website and then find the plugin that does most of that. But there...

    Website DAW

    You don't. I'm a web developer who has actually tried to implement a simplified mixer (not even a full daw, just a mixer of pre-selected synths edit: tracks), and it is an incredibly difficult task. Javascript just isn't a good language for time-sensitive tasks like syncing audio, especially...

    editing with headphones

    I wouldn't think so. When you're editing in headphones, the priorities would probably be (in descending order) Headphones you are intimately familiar with That won't fatigue your ears That have a flat frequency response across the entire audible range That block out any background noise, etc...

    Speeding up tempo for drums already recorded

    It depends a lot on the algorithm being used. The most simple method (literally speeding up the recording like you would with tape) will change the pitch. All modern software has "tempo" adjust algorithms too tho. The best ones will work well with drums because they are better at removing...

    Drums online?

    I've used fiverr to hire musicians to fill in parts for me (including drums) The major piece of advice I offer for that is to give as detailed of directions as you can (or be ok with them not matching your exact specifications). E.g. when I hired a vocalist, I gave her 3 separate guide tracks...

    Strange behavior?

    I've been bitten by this before too. I think the setting you want is in the preferences menu as "Playback position follows project timebase (time or beats) when changing tempo". If it's toggled on, adjusting the tempo will change the position and playback rates of existing media. I think...

    Flat Earth

    Bass strings are just more expensive these days. Even the cheap Musicians Gear ones had crept from $7 to $10 a pack (before they stopped stocking the ones I use entirely)

    Mix sounds different played back on different computers.

    Different speakers? Different headphones? Does the second laptop have bass boost enabled?

    Anybody know anything about copyright law? Kind of a unique question...

    The conversation should go something like "hey sis, dad wrote me some poems back in the 90s. I'm gonna write some songs based on them. Theoretically, you would own half of his share of the songwriting credit for these things. Do you actually care if I keep track of the fractions of a penny you'd...

    Anybody know anything about copyright law? Kind of a unique question...

    Oh! I misread "father" as "friend". That makes things way simpler (or potentially more complex if anyone wants to fight over it). If you and your sister are the only next of kin, she's the only one to sort it out with. Does she want to claim any of his copyright ownership of them? If not, then...

    Anybody know anything about copyright law? Kind of a unique question...

    In US copyright, songwriting is split 50% between "music" and "lyrics" (with a little bit of wiggle room between music being the melody that is sung and music being the chord progression.) A reasonable split of ownership for the final song (as written) would be 50/50 between the two of you, but...

    Suggestions for a recording please - Sheryl Crow

    Suggestions for a recording please - Sheryl Crow

    So it's a "for fun" session that you're not getting paid for? If that's the case, just pop in a SC greatest hits and pick the song you like the best. Or if after listening to a full album you don't like any of the songs, cancel the session. If it's for your portfolio, I don't know that...

    Headphones vs Monitors for Mastering WTF? Oh Hell no!.......never say never ;)

    The Weeknd played the Superbowl halftime in 2021. 2 Chainz was relevant for a hot minute about a decade ago. Chris Brown is about as famous for his violent crimes as he is for his music. (The "legal issues" section of his wikipedia page is as long as any part of his music career description. (He...

    bandcamp

    It's probably the recordings or the fact that you're just previewing streams Bandcamp allows logged-in users to download music that they've added to their library in a number of formats, including lossless FLAC. Streaming probably downsamples to mp3 or something equivalent, but your fans can get...

    Pedal with multiple od or distortion modes

    Lol, unfortunately "most people think this sounds bad" usually translates to "nobody is making it that way" If you want multiple styles of distortion in series, you're probably gonna have to go for a custom solution. Probably a simple, space-effective, and cheap solution would be to pick up 3...

    Pedal with multiple od or distortion modes

    It is a single in/single out pedal. I don't know if I was throwing you off with that. It just runs the circuits in parallel before merging them at the end. Chaining two distortion pedals together in series usually sounds really bad (and quieter than either pedal alone), so it's going to be hard...

    Pedal with multiple od or distortion modes

    I'm a big fan of my Idiotbox No Moon. It's a double-size pedal, but it has clones of the Rat, Tube Screamer, and Big Muff pedals in it. Plus, it's designed to process the signal in parallel instead of series so that you can turn on multiple circuits without it sounding terrible. You could...

    Heresy: How to make a realistic VSTi drum part

    So my bit of e-drum heresy is: who cares if your "drummer" has 6 limbs? Does it sound good and match the song? Just pretend that your one pretend drummer is 2 or 3 pretend percussionists

    Not ordinary guitar pedals to invent new music styles?

    I can't speak to any specific brands' responsiveness, but having seen various midi pickups in action, you're definitely over-stating the latency. Maybe a ROR guitar with a bunch of built-in midi functionality is exactly what Alexxx needs. Maybe it's overkill. So if each fret (and presumably...
