YouTube is terrible for trashing videos and the audio you got to use twice the video res. Facebook is a bit better but both can trash audio, ive notice they prefer 192 kbps audio rate, if you us 320 its converts it to its death Nice emotional track,

Beautifully written, this is a song for woman with a big range. Adele did this it be number one

Im going to start mixing through my crap headphones lol I was so entrenched with creating samples with the bass and drums on my monitors with sub it appears i neglected the vocals. Maybe because i sing along in my head and know the words it affected my judgement on the vocal level. This is so funny because i don't like pushing my vocals to much but my friend said the same at BBQ, that's 3 of you so im doing Instrumental next in protest lol

i noticed at a friends BBQ on his Bluetooth speakers how it pushers mid to top end so i did a few tests with my own Bluetooth and PC speakers, phones and phone with headphone's to get a average. Iv'e notice my crappy test headphones are the best mix judgment with vocal's (best average). Seems most people these days listen to music through phone headphones or Bluetooth and PC speakers which really does effect bass, mid and top end, bit of a minefield really finding a average when you do something a bit Dancy which i finding out.

Nice, sounds a bit like a Spanish guitar which i always love. Iv'e actually got a Fender Spanish that i never play and today will play it lol

Ive just notice "Fundamental Bass" gone on sale for £4 that's it lol, when i first bought this it was over £100 i think. Iv'e always used it for my all in one Bass chain balancing mostly on its own due to the built in simple Multiband Compressor, hi/low filter, tube pre amp Saturation and Split-stereo Imaging for less than 5 quid its a no brainer. I use it on any bass guitar and some of the sound engineering when creating samples or synth bottom end. I would say the main concept is in the way it splits audio into high and low modules for independent processing. https://www.waproduction.com/plugins/view/fundamental-bass

I like the vocal, gets me thinking of war of the worlds for some reason...

Interesting combo Mark with style's. Iv'e always liked guitars and vocals but iv'e strayed away and maybe should go back haha

Nice and slick, love it and had a second listen

Soundtracks are my favourite maybe because of my TV background in production. This is very well done and hits the spot for certain sound scores on a variety of programs to add that emotional vibe, which i call proper music lol You could haev just filmed yourself walking across a field with different headshot pontificating and it would haev worked to this lol well done Ross

I didn't know what to do for a video, so i always wanted to learn the free OBS software so had a play

Its the words which related to the ladybugs, in house joke haha

Finished the 30 second demo at the request from many on here, i extended it. So i decided to take the track on a cakewalk stock journey and a few other plugins thrown in for good measure with my own created vocal, drum, bass and guitar samples which are time consuming. So I had some fun with the little animated heart showing cakewalk some love with the little fella dancing in the daw. Hope you enjoy, what you think?

Yes i have extended it. Will have it finished tonight and bang a quick video together. Had a few family issues which been slowing me up

Yes i have this problem with OBS it will record my mic in OBS and video or MP3 etc i play from desktop but will not record Cakewalk output thats going to my desktop audio interface. My interface as SPIDF and 12 outputs but no loop back lol

We live and learn, audio interfaces are a minefield when you consider that you need ASIO, MIDI, phantom 48V (MIC) and working at 48Khz on 24bit as standard really, maybe with 2 headphone monitoring if you collaborate or record anyone. I needed mix monitoring for tracking with 2 headphone monitoring and SPDIF the min. I really want 8 in/out which really did limit my options when you talking about price given at the time the cheapest 8 port i think was Scarllet at £700 UK pounds compared to the Behringer i got for £250 in sale with a 30 day return and its been solid for yrs

There is lots of misinformation about Behringer with specific models Please note: The Only Behringer devices that work with Behringer own dedicated ASIO for win 10 and 11 is UMC202 204 404 and 1820 and the HD Models. You have to download the UMC interface software panel ASIO 5.51.0 update. These are the latest drivers with no issues , no other driver is not supported. I have a friend that uses the 204 which i know works and i use the 1820. It is setup in 3 parts, the ASIO Driver the WDM (WASAOPI) driver and the MIDI driver. However the MIDI driver does not work on the UMC 202 or the UMC 202 HD This is the only dedicated driver from Behringer that works with cakewalk stable that i am aware of.

70% there

The "first" Midi Daw ever that everyone copied is the reality. Steinburg pretty much ripped Cakewalk and called it Cubase. Makes me laugh when people using other DAWs "believe" Cakewalk is for beginner's when they are using DAWs that called a bus a group, they be calling it mix group instead of mix bus next lol Cakewalk is one of the best things in my life, is the reality https://whoisp.co.uk/product/cakewalk/Black

yes ive made it into about a 4min track

It is eye P lol ive been trying some thing with my voice to a funky dance track im trying to do. Taking time as i am creating lots of samples, I animated one of my t Shirt designs just to see what i could do. Probably finished it next weekend maybe

30sec Demo, Like on YouTube if you can, helps the algorithm's - This is something i am working on. i was singing down an octave, then i speeded it up with some, then a tad pitch shift and loads of tape saturation with smidge of vocoder...

Stock lol

Not sure how engineers did things without reference tracks, oh they used their ears and meters. People tend to make things way to difficult. Mastering - Reference track Bounce your mix "mixdown" aka your pre master 24bit 48khz wav is commonly use. This should have no errors to fix in mastering, realistically is should sound how you want it from putting it through a mix bus. Mastering is just polish and loudness. Open your mastering session, and import your pre master "mixdown". Add another track for your Reference track which should be of the same(ish) style "professionally mastered" so your in the rough ball park for 'Loudness Units Full Scale' (lufs) for Film score or CD or Digital distribution etc. I personally would test any Reference track as it could be two loud or two quite!!!!!! Therefore, a target loudness of -12 to -9 LUFS would bring you up to traditional CD levels but Spotify is -14 and YouTube say aim for -13 to -15 LUFS . Me personally i never "peak" over -10 so the average maybe -12 to -14 depending on dynamics and style. You will never go wrong with that information. Stereo & Mono Low end Sub and bass is better on mono for majority of tracks, HOWEVER some tracks need a certain creative edge with space down the middle so you might have bass stereo to create the space, aka Massive Attack - Angel rings some bells and plenty more. WHENEVER you RECORD something with natural spatial qualities that you want to reproduce in your mix it should be stereo, stereo recording works well on acoustic guitar, Orchestic, and even drums. Well in fact, freeze your midi and see what happens STEREO. Pros, tend to RECORD bass guitar, guitars and vocals on mono but "samples" with vocals will be on stereo due to added spatial qualities. However pros may duplicate the MONO guitar track and stick one 100% left and one 100% right for width and eq them slightly different for that spatial dynamic AKA there are no rules its about what sounds good and the same with panning. If your mix sounds good to your ears in headphones and speakers they you panning is OK but you might play with panning to create space the same as eq. You will hear many wives tails and the pretentious muso talk, its best to keep it simple about forming a UNDERSTANDING so you KNOW what your doing so yuou can evolve and not go round in circles P

I think of all my instruments and plugins as tools. To be fair many midi plugins instruments you can layer. I layer with SynthMaster 2 and it as a massive library you can expand or create your own. I will create sounds on my Fender strat or bass guitar to sample them SM2, you can have up to four layers of samples if you want to or mix and match samples with any other type of synthesis you want so it makes it super powerful and i would imagine EZ the same. When you can create the sounds you want it cheaper but can be time consuming to learn sound design and know what mods and filter really can do. i will use Addictive keys because the piano is second to none. But like you say, i will dabble with like Spitefire Labs, Symphony Orchrstra, Vital, Izotope, Union, Kontakt and Surge XT etc for inspiration from sounds, its just ive note used EZ when ive not ever used much i already have but get what you mean
