Soundbrenner does all of that. It's a companion-app for their wearables but the built in metronome works on its own.

Are there any particularly good headphones with a detachable cable that work well for recording music? Comfortable enough to wear for hours, balanced output, no noise cancelling or anything else that might alter what I hear when I'm playing tracks back. My Sennheiser HD 205s are on the way out. The cable developed faults months ago, but I pulled them apart and soldered an output jack into them. My crappy soldering job has given up the ghost now, so I reckon I'm best off cutting my losses and buying a new pair. Power_13 fucked around with this message at 15:33 on Oct 3, 2021 |

Is there a thread about mixing, production, EQ, instrumentation, etc.? I’m at the point where I can put notes on a page and make a nice little tune, but i don’t know best practices for how it should sound or what instruments I should use/how to make them play nice. I’d like to learn more about that, cause AFAICT it’s really important to get that right.

i just listened to the studio version and i think the instruments are like 40 cents flat so maybe that's it. i can kinda hear what you're talking about now that you pointed it out, but i hear it in the chorus too. i don't think it's ever bothered me because it seems like just part of his slightly strained/gravely vocal style

Anyway it's like nails on a chalkboard to me, and I appreciate getting some validation that my hatred for this song, while maybe not entirely rational, is at least grounded in a peer-confirmed observation!

Dunno where to post this, so I figure I'll try here. I use Renoise as my DAW, and while tracking out some random garbage I found this really weird effect. I suspect it has something to do with how MIDI, using the same instrument on multiple tracks, and Renoise's FX column play together. But what's happening seems too familiar to me to just be an annoying bug. Does anyone know what exactly is happening in this clip... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gTFSfoIkqXE ...and how I can replicate it without relying on undefined behavior? Because it is absolutely sick.

I suspect that what's happening is related to using the same instrument on all the tracks. The third track from the left has a delay effect on it, and it seems to be applying to the second and first tracks too. It's a sampled instrument, so my guess is that there's some sort of max (for whatever reason) on how many samples in the instrument can play at a time. Might be due to its keyzones or how its chopped up. Utterly fascinating and now I want to figure out how to replicate it. timp posted:I can't help you but IMO just record that for 25 minutes and call it Piano Phase 2: Phase Harder yooooooooooooooooooooooooo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57TuvksMR70 this is dope (edit: also the piano is a placeholder for other instruments, prolly a bass and some guitar too, so  )

Like, what you thought this would sound like, and what it sounds like instead? To this oldster, it looks like you're using what we used to call a "tracker", and that there's some sort of "zero everything" command being issued at the start of every other frame. But I see these "note off" commands, so they should already be released... so maybe you have some sort of reverb effect that you're resetting every other frame? e: or sustain pedal? cruft fucked around with this message at 17:52 on Oct 21, 2021 |

What I'm hearing is that the note is being silenced shortly after it starts, so you just get the attack from the note and then nothing else (except for some reverb, not sure where that's coming from). Then there's a bit of popping at the end of the note, which I tend to associate with a discontinuous waveform. Just adding/subtracting/multiplying/etc. waveforms together shouldn't be able to produce discontinuities like that, but cutting off the note before it can fade to zero volume would. I don't know enough about the software to speculate as to causes, but if you can get access to the instrument samples, you should be able to manually tweak them to recreate the effect.

cruft posted:Max Voices was a thing, like, 25 years ago. I wouldn't expect it to show up now. I would expect notes on Backup Harmony to play as normal after the OFF signal has been received for Lead Melody or Counterpoint Melody. Instead, you get a short pop for that note - which is probably the attack TMA's talking about - and you're left with just the delay from the previous Backup Harmony note. Except for the final F, which simply cuts its entire track. Why, I don't know. Speaking of, I would also expect the delay effect to only apply to Lead Melody, since it's applied. Instead, I also hear the delay effect on Backup Harmony when FX is turned off for its group. Delay is not present in Backup Harmony when FX is on for its group. It's possible that it uses the other group's FX for some reason. (Reverb and delay are different, right?) Don't get me wrong, none of this is bad. It's a really cool effect! I'm just curious about why and how it's happening. Pollyanna fucked around with this message at 19:22 on Oct 21, 2021 |

Except for the final F, which simply cuts its entire track. Why, I don't know. Reverb and Delay are very closely related (you can make reverb with multiple delays), but are typically shown as different effects. So you're referring to the thing where suddenly all sound stops, then. My money's on some sort of "reset everything" happening at the beginning of the third frame, which I presume is repeated every other frame. MIDI has a command you can send that's like "EVERYBODY STOP EVERYTHING RIGHT NOW" in case a key up event doesn't get delivered: it happens sometimes. You may have something similar in your DAW at the beginning of that first frame. And I predict you're going to transition from "sounds cool" to "OMG just freaking stop" the longer you try to hunt this down

The good news is that it’s pretty easy to avoid, I only found it cause I muted the wrong column. Plus, it inspired the first verse of the song!

My headphones (audio-technica ATH-M30) are only playing in mono. I tested on my PC headphone jack, speaker hp jack, and directly into sound card, I tested on my phone too. I can hear actual L/R differences with earbuds. I've been troubleshooting over the last few days. Is there a fix? Like resoldering the connector? I've had these about 8-9 years. They've held up pretty well considering I've dragged my rolling chair over the long rear end 11 foot cable 5000 times. Could it be worth cutting off 8' of cable and resoldering the connector? Either way, I think my next pair might be the new Audio-Technica ATH-M50xBT2

My old M50 had the channels switched and resoldering the connector helped there. I guess if the tip and ring started touching it would make the cable sum channels on both sides

The setup: MPC Live II and record player I want to sample into the MPC but I need to ground the record player because I am getting a lot of ringing noise. Do I have to ground the record player to the MPC? Having to screw a ground wire in and out kind of kills the portability. Can I ground the record player to something that will never move? Like a monitor (speaker, not computer screen)? Also, does the ringing depend on where the record player is? I have used it without a ground wire before and the ringing wasn’t bad enough to care about, but I recently moved and my setup is different.

Ringing like feedback? Do you have speakers sharing a surface with the turntable, or maybe just very close together? or is it a ground hum like this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVZ2P0KsLic

I think I better start by asking about this here before I go to my orchestra friends on Facebook for more specific intel on the matter. Where do I go, and what kind of person do I talk to, to get an old violin appraised? My dad used to be a violin player and still has his old fiddle, but he doesn't remember very much about it other than that it belonged to his mother who had it since before he was born, which puts its origin sometime during or before the 1940s. He thinks it might have been made by a guy called David "Jusik" or "Guzik" or some poo poo like that out of Budapest, but there don't look to be any visible markings on it to indicate who made it or where, apart from a small teal-ish diamond mark near where the strings hook on the bottom, outlined in white or gold or some other light color, but that could be nothing. The bridge may have been replaced at one point or another, although my dad doesn't remember for certain; the bridge that's there now doesn't match the rest of the instrument at all and has a very-faint-but-practically-illegible mark on it that might indicate something about it. Apart from needing new strings and maybe a light cleaning, the whole thing looks to be in pretty nice shape. I'd like to find out a bit more about its history like when and where it was made and whatnot, and maybe find out if it's worth anything, but where would I go to do that?

A good picture of the label is all you really need at first. It should be visible through the F hole on the left side of the instrument. Local violin shops probably aren't knowledgeable enough to help you appraise the instrument unless you live in a major metro area. I would start with a local luthier, which may or may not be hard to find. They can tell you if the instrument is a piece of junk, or actually something worth appraising, and point you to someone who can do that. Finding a luthier can be tricky, the independent ones usually don't have an online presence and do most of their work on word-of-mouth and not folks coming in off the street. Ask your orchestra friends, they will know. Don't be surprised if the luthier or shop brushes you off or has a weird attitude. Probably 90 percent of the instruments they see this way are pure crap. The guy I go to works out of his garage, and routinely handles instruments worth high 6 figures. If you really just want the instrument appraised, that is a whole can of worms. Most appraisals are for insurance purposes and not what you could actually sell it for. The market fluctuates wildly and can take years to actually sell something. The value in your instrument is more sentimental than anything.

I'm using FL studio for the first time and following a tutorial and my audio is like super crackly for some reason I have tried upping the buffer to the max and it doesn't fix the problem. Also I have an i7 with 3.7 GHz so I feel like that should be plenty to run this without too much issue? Information that may help: My output is through a bluetooth headset (sony wh-1000mx4) which behave fine the rest of the time with no crackling. I'm not accidentally using the phone bluetooth mode that sounds awful either. The crackles are the exact same every time, they aren't random. If I play a kick or something it will crackle the exact same way every time. Some plugins/instruments crackle more than others but they all do to some degree Any advice? It's a clean install and even before I installed other plugins it was crackly, I just thought maybe the default 808 sounds crackled for some reason, haha. edit: nm I have no idea what happened but it works now, I didn't even do anything else but restart it again which I had already done Stefan Prodan fucked around with this message at 00:10 on Jan 12, 2022 |

I've used Multiplay in the past. I think it's more involved than your looking for and it's probably complete overkill but I think it would do the job you want. There is undoubtedly something better out there for your use case though.

I just need something real simple with some pads to trigger a few sound effects and loops for a show. I built a thing that lets you set up a playlist, and instead of auto playing the next item, cues it up for an external trigger to start. I made it for a dance show but it'd work well for the theater too. https://github.com/nealey/playlist is the project. You have to edit HTML to set the playlist, currently, but if literally anyone else on earth used it, I'd probably add code so you could set the playlist from the running app.

Pokey Araya posted:what do you wanna know about speakers? Opinions on speaker combinations in extension cabs, specifically what pairs well sound wise with 2x12" Celestion v30's (I have the Harley Benton G212v). I play a baritone in A1 standard to give an idea about the range I dabble in. I can and do go lower and do sometimes, and I don't play with a bassist so I'm not worried about stepping on any toes. I'm looking to increase my cabinets total wattage by adding an additional 8ohm extension cab to bring me up to a minimum of 200watts (I'm currently @ 120 watts with the x2 v30's @ 8ohms). The reason for this is my amps maximum output is 200 watts, so I want to make sure I won't blow things out when maxing everything. I'm open to any speaker size btw. I just want opinions on which speakers other players think sound great in tandem with what I have listed above. Ideally I'd like to keep the dB sensitivity within +/-2 of 100db, as that is what the v30's are listed at.
