whoisp

Im not feeling music in general at the moment

haha i have a pair of Bose Studio, i think they were £399 when first bought them maybe 5yrs ago, the low end is nutz, not good for mixing or tracking but great for playback, they are good for detecting rumble in low end. Iv'e bought a second battery for them as my original was not chartering but it was that charging cable, common problem

Ive always preferred the Sony MDR 750, wasted some serious money on headphones and pretty much tried them all. I can not fault them for price, comfort and sound. Your talking maybe £500 to get something close in my opinion. I never take offense at my work, i like critical feedback because i normally learn something. i know when its just a average track at best what i bang together but i will finished it knowing its weak but use the mix to try things. In a engineering sense i learned much from the track, i did some nice sound design and creating the vocal samples. This track does have clever patches and gate. Patches are good for sidechain and smashing parallel comp. Some of the bass bites i pushed in parts with drums, sort of know what to do but also not what to do... However its a good track when i was riding mountain bike Good tracks just happen and sound great played on dustbin lids lol

Iv'e been updating my templates on last three tracks which have had me distracted, so my mind been concentring on my templates and not the tracks. This was do as a tongue in cheek track for my friend that likes a glass of wine, i can't stand the stuff haha Iv'e not even got any ideas in the pipeline due to home life at moment, so i must sit down and write somethings. I was going to do piano, then Acoustic but today now thinking EDM lol

It is definitely one of the toughest things ive taken on Wookie. I am a vet, ex para and you can forget all this elite British forces nonsense, nothing compares to getting up at 3 in the morning to screams when you mum falls out of bed and breaks her tib and fib, lifting her in bed when she naked, puke everywhere from her pain, her heart monitor machine flashing red and then waiting 13hrs for a f**king ambulance. She got a heart monitor device by her bed what sends signals to the hospital but did not speed up the process due to her triple heart bypass, kidney disease and diabetes. I don’t even know what’s the point of having this state of the heart (pun) £1000 bit of useless kit by her bed, well some government private firm (Tory Donor) on a large mark-up probably. Yeh it can send a signal to hospital faster than I can call the hospital to wait 13hrs, insane illogical system. The medication Dr always get wrong, now we order it online, Dr authorises it, go and pick it up and only half of it is there or its wrong at least 4 times a year, more petrol and parking for a second trip after number 19 in the queue to speak to the Dr that screwed it up haha. I have to laugh. I’ve only been doing this from 2019, ruined my relationship and I am constantly managing stress, thank the universe for music and cakewalk haha. Unfortunately, I live in the south UK down in Plymouth and all our Family is up North in Leeds which means I do everything on my own without much of a break which as you know is distressing at times, an emotional punch bag and you have to make life sacrifices. I lost a big contract in Philippines that would have pretty much helped me for live financially, to now scraping by but was my choice. All the decisions have been the hardest thing I’ve done, its my mum and totally understands you 100% regarding the Family. People don’t understand, not even Family that are not fully involved doing the work, I get the vibe in the song, we put everything we experience into music, that sometime we can’t say or express. I all always appreciate people’s music and can hear where people’s moods and emotions were at the time of writing. Theres two types of songs, (i) the people that just writes a song, traditional verse chorus etc chooses something to write about, maybe a experience they had in the past or they have a idea from a riff etc mush of these can sound manufactured. Then there’s the songs what we just write in the moment, from what’s happening in our life, the feelings and emotions we going through, they are the best songs, the real songs we write with mood which your doing here.

I did a few vocals in my friends studio and used his headphones for tracking, he spent £500 on them and they were awful, my £70 Sony MDR 750 are miles better, all i could hear was low end and that was with him cutting. Sent me the stems and they were weak as hell haha People prefer different set ups for sure

I tested it through sub and its sort of on the limit in places, headphones is always tricky given every bodies system and now the modern headphones with pre amp bass boast

My mums out of Hospital for the 3rd time since I moved her into my place in 2019. I give a good level of care and totally understand how hard it is with anyone close. Well it can ruin relationships or you can find out who someone really is. Its stressful, lonely and can create that sad vibe for sure. I try to stay away from sad songs but i do appreciate listening to other peoples real expression. Nice work Wookie

Still not sure if i should have had the low end a bit more punchy

Nice one Tom , sounds like a strat on the second to bottom switch, you was flowing getting in the groove. I'm totally uninspired myself, over stressed with a few things. maybe i will start something next week, still in middle of doing my templates but taking a break, keep rocking

Thank you Freddy, i don't know why i don't like it, i was ment for a lady singer and i was let down, so it sort of put me off because i planned my work flow and was at the start of updated. My 3 songs tracks ive been updating my templates for my tracks, patches and buses to mastering. So iv'e been doing edm type of style with guitar, vocals, creating my own samples with a sample project template to help speed up things so i got more time for creating at the end of my updates which i am about 70% through, Time consuming but better in long run... Maybe i will got back to it, but i also have another lady singer, who is better for my work, so things have actually working out better lol

Cheers Larry just dropped another song what could have gone anywhere but i left it how it was. I was going to do more vocals and make it longer but for whatever reason i left it how it was

I had fun with this one, so if you want to listen to some music whilst watching a women get drunk in a bath, then your probably a red blooded person

David Bowie speaking to Jeremy Paxman in 1999 about the "unimaginable" effects on society it was going to have. The Irony at the moment https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=984177948738986

Typical, everyone wants to hear more hahaha maybe go back to it after i finished the latest craziness

Yes i was gong to give it another 6 months, didn't want to be messing about at the moment

Yes i think my new version updated the stock version and the UI is bigger so crashes. At least its a crash and i no the problem

Which one is running more stable, less dropouts etc or does it make no difference ?

I am not sure if all cakewalk stock are? I have TSAR R1 Reverb plugin from softube, i think it was stock once that comes up on my pro channel chain when i go to add a module, if i add it, its crashes every time, so i have to add it to track or bus chain. There is always a issue somewhere

I will take the compliment, i do sit down sometimes and try to right a proper song but im normally trying to create hooks, beats and samples to get a better understanding of Cakewalk production etc so thanx

Long as its over 24bit its not a massive issue. The biggest issue with plugins is the CPU load

Is this Talent Plugin the one Milli Vanilli used for his Grammy Award for Best New Artist that didn't sing or play a instrument

Stick it on a bus and not every track, more stable on bus? I normally have a long verb and short Verb bus. HOWEVER, If i want more control on a track, i use the REMATRIX which is on the pro channel and great for subtle Verb long or shot and wet and dry (easy to use also). Never had a issue with it and great for automation but also great on a a bus . i tend to use the Breverb for something fancy or the free AMBIENCE, but i only use the Sonitus on a bus AMBIENCE (more downloads than anything else so you know its ok) The Tal is also https://www.pluginboutique.com/product/2-Effects/17-Reverb/426-Ambience

Yes Andrew Scheps is big on parallel compression bus for drums and bass, or a light bright air one for vocals. i tend to use a patches which are amazing to use, you can send all tracks to your patches, have a side chain patch or parallel compression and then send to any bus or double vocals etc saving loads of CPU. I use Andrew Scheps trade secrete 6DB Gain rule on mix bus, Steaky and few pros uses it to on the mix bus so i tried it even though it sort of makes no sense to turn you gain back to Zero before mixdown because you would think you would need to adjust everything again from putting 6dB of gain at start of chain then dropping to 0db, obviously you still don't clip your mete when on 6dbr! My average is about -3 when im sticking 6db in So when you take the 6 off there is about -5 or -6db headroom for mastering and only a little tweak is needed due to the Equal-loudness contour, just a nice bit of colour on mix bus because people always over do it, i tried it and works so well and better than just turning down the master to bounce. I matched my old mix to new mix and the colour was so much better this way. I'm not sure why, but apparently when you push the mastering back up, your bring that colour back hmmm

Soon as i say i had enough of it, typical lol
