The Cave was fast moving, had so many posts it was nearly chat speed at times, lots of energy and input, it got emo at times and crap I posted being gone is not what I'll miss, but those times and folks aren't returning, it was a moment in time and led to Jamfests where we actually met some of...
The registration for AES NYC for the free Exhibits+ admission is today. I'm hoping to get there at least on one of the 2 days for the free entry. Javits Center 34th on the West Side, right across from the entrance to the High Line, which I might walk on if I have time and the if the weather is...
back when this thread was started, why didn't anyone tell me to buy bitcoin?...
I heard that Robin got Howard a renovated RCA ribbon mic, you know the one...
It ain't easy, I've heard really bad stuff about every one of the indy distributors. I think I'll just pick the one that's been around the longest and seems to have a lot of options, and is affordable, not a fan of the name, but I think I'm going with this one. I'm not going major, that's...
I was looking up mastering options and found that CDBaby requires mastering using their service prerequisite to uploading a track for them to distribute. So I guess I'll be starting there. $75 fee.
Did you ask Ari Herstand about this? He claims that tiktok is one of the best ways to promote and many have had their stream counts rise from it. That's not supposed to be a bad thing, it's actually supposed to be one of the best sources of use of your music. Can you send screenshots of the...
I never thought I'd use a mac, then I inherited a non-functional macbook and I upgraded it, back when you still could, and then re-installed the os up to the point where it couldn't do any more updates. Then I used Garageband and it was pretty good, impressed with the included samples I went in...
I slept on this, and I decided that since I have no budget and my song and subsequent releases are indy, meaning no promotion budget either, that they aren't going anywhere anyway. And so, in the unlikely event that they get any popularity at all, and that would mean a little bit of budget would...
I'm worried that I won't be able to hear the difference. I once listened to a Neve preamp at that convention at the Javits Center and I couldn't hear the difference. I don't know what to expect but I also know that I've never tried to master something diy, so I'm in an unknown area. I did put...
has this OP been updated lately? I guess I'm looking for info on the latest word on achieving home master recording rather than what I've been doing up until now, which has been home demo recording. Need to know if I can actually record a master that's good enough for release, on the technical...
I have a Roland Octacapture from a few years ago, and a macbook Air saved from the dumpster running Mojave and Logic Pro X 10.5, not sure if the quality is anywhere near what I need. So I guess it's time to start studying this stuff again, unless anyone has an opinion on this mix of gear.
What tracks would folks here find to be mastered poorly, or maybe even requiring mastering, or have been ruined by mastering, or other mastering things we might learn from by listening to them? I remember someone saying they didn't like how American Idiot sounded, maybe too compressed? Do...
I haven't released any tracks for mass consumption yet. I played around with a mix down to another DAW, it was another stand-alone DAW from my recording DAW, also stand alone, and I cranked up the levels. It has been a while since I attempted any kind of post mix messing around. There are...
Hi Megan, do you know of any open source software for organizing b-roll video clips, maybe a FOSS database? Hopefully also available on Linux/Ubuntu 8-)
I haven't done it recently, but here's some info:
3.3 COPY FUNCTIONS
The following Copy functions assume that you are copying a Main Pattern to a Main Pattern
(remember, copying a Main Pattern to another Main Pattern copies the Fill along with it).
Other combinations take the following rules...
I'm happy to see some orange on tele's and it hurts to see it on the strat since I want it so badly, but I have too many guitars, and can't afford it anyway, I'm hoping they continue that color so someday I can get both the orange strat and the non-squire orange tele with maple neck. The Squire...
