Mine would be "Bo En - Miss You".
I've been craving this kind of music, though.
Also, I should mention this guy Vexento because I think his pieces of music are all creative.
Honestly, I had the FL Demo downloaded on my computer but had never really messed with it. My internet was out one day and I was bored so I decided to open it, and then made probably one of the worst songs ever created. BUT it did spark a little light in me that was like "hey, this stuff is kind of cool" and here I am 2 years later.
I used to have issues with motivation/focus, but eventually I reached a point where it was rewarding enough for me to hardly want to ever stop producing. I stopped producing for 2 weeks and it felt like I was missing something and it felt like the longest wait in my life.
3xosc is a just a little click for sidechaining and flicker is my ref track, i'm basic yo.
Miles is right--the most ideal mixing environment is a treated room and multiple pairs of good monitors. Headphones don't give you enough stereo information either.
Also, people like to check their mixes in cars, and I think it's overrated and kind of pointless. If you hear something off in a car but not in a studio, the problem is probably the ears.
I don't think its poor engineering. Sometimes you want nothing but one element playing at a time like the kick and snare. Some people even go in and paste the transients into the track after they bounced it just to make sure nothing else is in the mix during the transients
Do you know of any videos/articles that explain what transients are? Can't seem to get a grasp on it...
i agree this is a good technique but i think it's important to mention that completely removing that frequency isn't always the perfect solution - sometimes that really harsh frequency still holds important harmonic content. if you completely remove that frequency sometimes you end up going down the path of repeatedly finding resonances across the spectrum and you can end up with so many notches that the sound is completely ruined in the end - sometimes it's better to find that pesky frequency and simply lower it a few db
edit: also to be noted that sometimes the resonance can come from your playback medium / room - always a good idea to quickly reference on another pair of speakers or headphones before cutting the frequency out just in case you're addressing the wrong issue lol
maybe ur lucky and mat signs up to this forum ^lol I'm pretty sure Mat made this forum dude
