Just did the survey.
re you considered/would you consider yourself an expert, professional, enthusiast or other (please specify) with record to audio recording?
Beginner (enthusiast)
What is your personal experience with home recording?
I have a meager set-up I use to make music. For the...
Does Cubase have a vocoder?
There's a couple of different Modulation tools but no vocoders that I can find. If not are there any free one on the net (for Mac) someone could recommend.
@ Lisa,
Glad you asked.
- If you want something a little tranquil maybe Chris Hecker, C Hatakeyama.
- A little more "poppy" - Boards of Canada, Bonobo, Daedalus.
- More intense - The Gasman (Specifically "Remedial"), Venetian Snare (Specifically the "Hungarian" Album).
- If you want to...
@ Lisa
I agree that the tried and true forms of music (rock, R&B, etc.) are getting a little stale, I was referring to the more abstract and Avant-Garde styles and sounds.
I'm not a big fan of the traditional "song" style of music so for me things have only gotten better, but if you're...
Generic?
Personally I think the last decade has produced much more interesting music, and much more opportunity for those of us that want to hear something unique.
Just like the post above me mentioned, you can't rely on the radio.
Walshinator, you haven't posted here in 5 days so you may no longer care but if you do I thought I might try to give some ideas to a fellow Canuck.
- You can't sing but how's your voice? You could talk it out like Willie Shatner or John McCrae (of Cake). It can come off "shmarmy" but I've some...
Thank you all for help, I clearly need it.
@Grimtraveller - I did try EQ ing but when I did it just got quiet. This may be because I'm poking blindly.
@ Mixsit - I'm not familiar with the term "Transient" but as far as your second post I tried it on several speakers and the effects were always...
I have a sample that I love but it's so bass-y it rattles speakers even at low volume.
I tried putting it through a high pass filter but it seems to make it too quiet, I add gain and I'm in the same pickle I was to begin with.
The tone itself isn't that low (C#2) if that helps any.
I'm very...
You probably already thought of this but you could do a search with the name of one of your audio files.
I may be wrong but I think they would be .wmv files or something similar to that.
Sorry I can't be more helpful, I don't use that software.
Hey Dinty,
If you tune by ear do you use a tempered key or "true" key? Just curious.
btw, For anyone who's interested in this I'd recommend "Paul Hindemith, The Craft of Musical Composition"
It's good because the first three chapters are about the science of sound which most composition...
Thanks, I haven't touched the EQ settings in itunes for so long I forgot they had them.
One thing though, you said that " didn't notice was there", do you think should I go back and start tweaking?
It seems impossible to get a mix that sounds right everywhere, or is that just my inexperience...
Howdy,
Ok, on one of my tracks I seem to be getting some crackling sounds when I listened to it on itunes. It sounds fine in my DAW, and when I listen to it through RealPlayer, it just cracks on itunes.
Is this something that should concern me, or should I just forget about it.
Little off topic but I just gave some of your tracks a listen and I loved Diffused Light (has kind of a Amon Tobin sound), but why did you break off from that beautiful sample (?) at the beginning?
Oh, and Apple Buds are the worst of the worst, but if you listen to anything comparable to your...
I've been struggling with volume (quality versus quantity) especially since my genre is a little unique, and for some reason it never really occurred to me to try this.
Good advice, thanks.
I guess you should ask yourself, why did you bother to do and what would be your ideal outcome?
That being said the better question to ask yourself is why not? If it happens you can always say no.
Oh, and I can't see any harm in doing a remake if you think adds to the original.
I did have MS Word but I never play PC games, and I'm no "internet whore".
I'm not saying many people haven't had a great experience using PC's, I'm just not one of them.
Things seemed to randomly change (my personal favourite being actually eliminating notes in Finale and replacing them with...
