    I Made Another Album! (Instrumental/Electronic/Ambient/Post-Rock)

    I haven't been around these parts much lately, but I still lurk from time to time. Over the last 6 months or so, I've put most of my free time into an EP that I just released this past week. I got surprisingly positive feedback on my last album, and thought you all might be interested to hear...

    How to choose the right mixing/mastering engineer

    Yeah, there are tons of people out there, willing to do it for relatively cheap. Other than looking through the past works of potential engineers, maybe try to find out who engineered other bands that you like the sound of - or reach out to local bands to see who they work with.

    What is the best way to record your bass tacks into your computer?

    If price is a serious concern, look into a cheap Behringer interface - should do the trick. Beyond that, a DAW (I'd recommend Reaper for function and price). Find yourself some free VSTs, and you've got a completely serviceable setup for recording.

    Thundercat and John Mayer jam

    Great camera view :eyebrow: Seriously, though ... love Thundercat.

    NCAA Football 2018 Week 7

    Huge win, and glad it didn't come down to the wire. It was still frustrating to watch for too much of it, but I would call it a decisive victory that we needed.

    NCAA Football 2018 Week 7

    All signs point to yes ... but I'm still very nervous to watch the game.

    Do you snooze?

    Shoot, I named one of my songs Snooze. Now that I co-habitate, I try to keep it to a minimum, but it usually takes me 2/3 alarms to feel confident that I won't oversleep. I'll set 3-4 alarms if I'm travelling and absolutely need to be out of bed.

    I Made an Album! [instrumental/chill/whatever]

    I checked out your YouTube channel - I definitely don't have a problem if you want to use some of my music, I agree that it would be a really good fit. Definitely let me know if you do so I can check it out - I'm jealous of your travels!

    I Made an Album! [instrumental/chill/whatever]

    Thank you! Yes - you can download them for free through the bandcamp link (Behind the Scenes, by Lwke) - just put 0$ as the amount you wish to pay :) As far as using them in videos - most likely yes, but depends on what the video content is :) Just don't want it used for anything I'd find...

    I Made an Album! [instrumental/chill/whatever]

    Thanks for listening - I'll have to give General Fuzz a spin, I'm not familiar with his work. Thank you :) I didn't grow up listening to Peter Gabriel, so I can't say he's a direct influence. I won't complain at the mention, though! My process is fairly un-structured - I record as I write...

    I Made an Album! [instrumental/chill/whatever]

    Ahoy! It's been a few years since I've been in a band (or really even consistently played with others), and have been focusing my creativity in the home studio/recording. I finally got enough tracks together that I think are good enough to release into the world. It may not be a style that...

    Easy way to chop off peaks at same level across entire wav file?

    I use the Waves L2 and L3 limiters. I would definitely recommend them, but only if you can wait until they are on sale (fairly regularly) - I got them for under 30 each. There are plenty of free ones that I'm sure would suit your needs, but I don't know the names of any off the top of my head.

    Smartphones, what kind do you have and how much do you like it?

    I just upgraded from the Samsung Note 5 to the Galaxy S9 a couple days ago. The note still worked fine (and I'll keep as a backup), but the battery turned to garbage. I wish they still had replaceable batteries :/ Oh well, got like 2 and a half years out of the thing. I only have like 2 days...

    Audio Interfaces

    Agreed. You can definitely find something under a couple hundred bucks that will give you great sound quality.

    Forum View Changed ?

    Agreed - I wouldn't mind the newer (default) theme if it was a bit wider.
