They can both be useful, but I find that I need intrinsic motivation to *really* get going.

That was pretty cool. I need to start making more videos, but besides splicing clips together and adding effects, this is a total black art for me. I bought a program called Visual Synthesizer on a sale recently, and was messing with the presets using a song I put together when I was supposed to be cleaning the basement, so I'd do some cleaning, some song, some cleaning, some weed, some song, some song, some cleaning, etc. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WiPB92CZ2PQ

going to put out some music under this name for a bit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufu0dVpRlis The other tracks are mostly dubstep (2011 forever) but i haven't uploaded them. I'll probably do another 4 or so tracks in this style/name and then change it again idk.

I recently had the courage to try out an effects pedal (Proco Rat... yeah, I hadn't bought one yet) in a guitar store, and one guy actually thought I sounded good! I really need to start taking guitar more seriously.. this new pedal + reverb sounds really cool.

pedal land is fun but it can be serious moneytrap Most of the time I use Neural DSP sims but i have a good time just plugging in to a real amp through my M13  it lets you pick any four pedals at a time, total 12 selectable, and you get like 12 'scenes' of that. i think its got like 125 different pedal models in there ''''''' old tech ''''' (like early 2010s) so they go supercheap used. $200 for mine

Pedals have that same tactility thing synths do Yeah my Arturia vsts sound ace, especially once through some native instruments effects or whatever But It's not the same as playing my Microfreak through a couple of cheap behringer pedals into my guitar amp on the clean channel

i got a bonus at work and i haven't actually used one of those for a nice toy for myself in literal years at this point. so i bought a new mic and an antenna for radio stuff and i still have some money left that im gonna spend on music stuff but i haven't decided what yet im thinkin either a guitar pedal or some kinda synth. im leaning synth since i can do so much with Guitar Rig and im pretty bad at guitar. maybe a cool controller or similar that could drive VSTs. not gonna spend more than $400. i have a td3 and a launchkey mini. my default is a $40 behrenger fuzz pedal clone or something like that. or destroy the budget and get a hydra synth. but i thought id see if any of y'all have recs for sick synths or keyboards/midi controllers in that price range. im obviously not gonna just buy something without researching it so feel free to use as much or as little detail as you want thanks!

Jonny 290 posted:pedal land is fun but it can be serious moneytrap Yes.. I know!! I once bought a pedal that was about $350 (Electro Harmonix Ravish Sitar) in 2014 if I remember the price correctly. I usually stick to the cheaper ones. I don't buy them that often, but over the years since I've been attempting guitar, I've accumulated several of them. My most prized possession is a BOSS HM-2 that I bought for $50 from a guitar teacher in 1996. I've only ever used my own guitar playing on a track once, and it's https://spacehoers.bandcamp.com/track/doomscrolling-like-a-bastard. I messed it up, too. I still have a lot of trouble playing in time, although I've been practicing guitar and bass with a drum machine more lately. im_sorry fucked around with this message at 20:54 on Aug 5, 2022 |

Kazinsal posted:c bad music idea s: post-post-grunge Fun friday experiment: let's define this. so grunge was a reaction to hair metal and top40 pop that involved loud, bass-heavy cheap guitar lines, but often with a lot of spector pop melody, some solos but not required, and really stream of consciousness lyrics. it was also heavily influenced by the heroin explosion that happened after the collapse of the ussr and subsequent balkans-joining-western-trade economies. In Utero was bankrolled by Afghani farmers. so before we nail down post-post-grunge, let's identify what post-grunge is

after spending time getting back with my synth, and in contrast to using midi controllers with a VST, I can suggest that if no one has done it, I think they should. everyone is different of course and different people get different things out of music, but packing away the DAW and just sitting with a single instrument is.. it's good. I just play more, fiddle knobs yes, but just play. maybe, MAYBE, if I really like what I've played I open up ableton and record it into the DAW, but before then it's just running into a speaker. earlier in the year when I sold the synth, and just used a midi keyboard, it was good, but I found myself lost in the minutiae of the daw, and the novelty of having infinite sounds ran it's course. I am far happier with this new synth, even if the keyboard is smaller than is ideal for me (three octaves vs 4 for the full sized one I sold) although, it's meant finding new ways to play chords to stay in the 3 octaves anyway that's my experience. I am sure others are different, but if you've got the time and the money and the inclination, I can seriously recommend it

I am sure others are different, but if you've got the time and the money and the inclination, I can seriously recommend it you are running sidelong into some of the very effective highlights of Brian Eno’s oblique strategies and I’m pleased to hear that it works for you. I managed to obliterate my latest creative block by making little bumpers for KNOH HonksFM, goose-flavored space radio. 10-12 seconds and must include goose noises is a really wonderful format for DAW exercises, and commercial radio bumpers are already parodies of themselves, so emulating them is a license to make a big mess in a very tiny box.

Just gone through the horrors of having to reinstall my OS and the bleakest part is downloading/attempting to sign into all the various launchers and authentication apps for music. Cubase wasn't too bad (didn't reinstall any of the included content yet but I barely use anything that isn't the DAW and the effects) but NI, Izotope and anything with Ilok is a loving nightmare. Even though I had all the NI stuff in a separate drive they've updated Native Access and now it won't see any of it so I have to reinstall. At least this is making me think about what I use and how important to me various things are l, but sunk cost fallacy is chewing my consciousness Rapidedit: especially as NI and Izotope are the same group now, let me have all of it in one place!

i got ableton set up again finally after wiping my computer and had some great jams. at one point i had my keys going into ableton attached to a drum machine, but also midi going into my td3, so the notes were triggering both drums and synth. turn on arp mode and holy poo poo is that fun to play with

Finally, after having the unlabeled cassettes of "The Air Conditioner Graveyard" for like two years, and getting the labels and covers done early this year, I've come up with the motivation to start putting them together for shipping and sent out some. I have to cut the middles out of the tape labels with scissors, since the printing place couldn't do it, so they look a little handmade, but I think it adds to the charm. I've only been sending them to people I know personally so far, but I'm thinking of putting them up for sale on my Bandcamp page at some point for $4.20 + shipping. I had around 40 cassettes made, and the total price for everything was around $275 Cdn. I'm probably losing money in the end, but I would have wasted that money on something else that was completely stupid, so I don't really care. There's also a Sunrise Records in the mall here, and they sell stuff by local artists, mostly CDs - I wonder if they'd stock a couple copies of my tape.... im_sorry fucked around with this message at 04:10 on Aug 8, 2022 |
