Like with guitar, the secret is copious reverb and delay. For reals though, Piano is definitely one of those instruments that when it doesn't sound good there's nowhere to hide and it seems like the learner plateau happens a lot faster than guitar. I am not good at piano NonzeroCircle fucked around with this message at 17:54 on Jul 22, 2022 |

piano is fun but yeah it's a lot of work, and good that you're taking lessons i've been working on this track some https://soundcloud.com/poltzart/emo-symph-wip1/s-t46fcjxOTss trying to get better at building, balancing instruments as a whole, and some dynamics stuff as well pretty happy with the build after the intro beginning and the swell at the end

Jonny 290 posted:ok constructive criticism thanks, this was super helpful i ended up splitting the big drum and sticks in to separate tracks, cutting the freq on the sticks in the low range, and adding deep reverb for the drum and bright for the other and it's much better now i think took the spiccato strings and got rid of the ensemble of strings i was using before and split it to violin 2 and cello and added reverb as well also added more to the end and filled out the middle part a lot more https://soundcloud.com/poltzart/emo-symph-wip2/s-ffAMf4TbcKK also that drum loop def isn't too complicated

i feel like i'm getting better at this, though i still have a lot to learn re getting things balanced and mastered and 'clean'. in this i think the bass gets muddy and the synth kick that supplements the sample makes it sound like it's clipping https://soundcloud.com/atomd/going-up quite happy with the last minute and a half though been on a kick of using prerecorded voices that are used for notifications/alerts or whatever https://soundcloud.com/atomd/lights-are-on if anyone knows of something like that that could be neat for a song let me know

Couple weeks back I was talking with a professional bass player who’d just finished some coding bootcamp and was fielding offers right out of the gate that doubled his income from gigging fulltime. Good for him getting paid, but I’d much rather hear this guy play tunes than make more javascript.

ughhh maybe I should simply content myself with admiring these works from afar without trying to understand and dissect them. the only reasons to do so are to either grow a deeper appreciation for them, or try and learn and grow from them. actually when you put it that way it’s kind of always worth it. gently caress trying to be great
