Response to: How much time do u use on a track? Posted March 8th, 2014 in Audio

It really depends. "Whopper" only took a couple of weeks to make, while "Histortion" and "Blood, Steam, and Punk" have been in the works for years at a time. Super jealous of all these high-speed geniuses here who can put something amazing together and publish it within a few days!

Just keep close to your classmates and network with them if you need help. Honors classes are usually a lot smaller, so learn to cooperate as a team and you should be good to go.

Yes! Sorry for not clarifying. I feel like I've tried everything under the sun to get something like it.

Not sure how Texas is doing in terms of employment, but can you not get a job at a restuarant or something? It's what I did when I was broke. Get on the cook's good side and he'll serve you something up during slow hours, too.

Response to: The Worst Feeling for a Musician Posted March 1st, 2014 in Audio

^ These are the two big ones for me. Weeks of no material can be almost depressing, and the inability to make something out of a good idea can drive me crazy. I also used to have a feeling of anxiety being around musicians that are loads better than me. Silly, right?

Response to: Mastering Posted February 27th, 2014 in Audio

In all honesty, if your track is clipping and you're having to throw some EQs and a limiter on the master channel then what is initially being said is, "I can't prevent my track from clipping in the mix down"

Don't attempt to 'master' your own tracks if you haven't got the equipment and the knowledge to do so. Don't put anything on the master channel. Instead, put everything on a send and add effects to that. - for starters Compression, distortion, reverb as a few essential things. Learn how to use all of these effects properly, understand what they're doing and then consider learning what other effects to such as a side-chain, hook the kick drum to the bass so you don't have them both fighting to the same frequencies and you don't get phase issues or boosting/clipping from the low end of the spectrum.

Make a habit of keeping all of your channels below -12db and then once your track is finished work on turning up the volumes suitable for where you want your sound to be e.g: drums at the front (turn it up), pads behind (turn it down), bass centered and in your face (mono: turn it up), leads sat in the middle and not pushing too much through the everything else. (remember higher frequencies sound louder).

I don't know if you were talking to me or not, but I'm actually very familiar with a bunch of the stuff you just laid out. It's just that I do all of that during production. I try to keep my tracks around -6db instead of -12db before mastering. Too high or what?

Good to know I'm doing it somewhat right!

Response to: Mastering Posted February 26th, 2014 in Audio

I would like to hear some input into this as well, because I tend to only use a limiter, some EQ, and a little exciter to wrap things up. No post-production techniques or anything. I'm usually satisfied at that, but I always feel like I'm missing out on something.

Response to: Palm Mute with Sampled Guitar Posted February 24th, 2014 in Audio

There are some nice vsts that do indeed feature palm muting, like Evolution Electric Guitar, which is actually velocity triggered, so it's pretty cool on a midi. However, I think everyone will agree that you can't really beat the real thing. Ask around for someone who can play.

If you have like girls you are a boy, and you like boys you are a girl.
If you dress like a girl you are a girl and if you dress like a boy you are a boy.

Isn't that what gender really is?

I've always defined it to be a bit more physiological than that.
