Re: What was that? (Disembodied Voice reviews)
That’s why practice outside of the context of songs is important. Those of us who started our musical journeys in school or with lessons have spent a ton of time playing or singing exercises out of method books, which helps to develop technique and an ear for pitch. I disagree with this. Exercises ...

Re: What was that? (Disembodied Voice reviews)
While you guys were busy arguing about a particularly low-effort and non-constructive review post, I listened to the songs. I tried commenting on different aspects of each song, to the extent I could think of something. Reviews do not cover the lyrics, I added a few token comments about them for the...

Re: Deals On Gear and Software
Until 2 Dec, UVI is discounting Falcon 2 and most other things by 30% (Falcon 2: $/€349 -> $/€244). Falcon 2 is one of the most flexible modular synths that I'm aware of, including a pretty powerful sampler. If you want to get into sound design and you like maximum flexibility at the cost of a steep...

Rebalancing/splitting fully mixed songs
Can't believe anyone posted this yet... in these modern days, there are tools to split/remove e.g. vocals from a finished mix that don't sound completely terrible. You get 4-5 separate tracks out of them (think bass/drums/vocals/misc), and/or a set of faders to re-balance these parts of the audio. O...

Re: Hold your breath for (The Smoke Is Rolling In reviews)
I don't know how Jast's template works. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ It saves a local copy of the markup from songfight.org at the time the fight is downloaded. If the markup was wrong at that point in time, then the links my template contains are wrong, too. If it was correct, the links will be correct, too. (I did ...

Re: Niv and the Exploration
no idea what the heck the Max the Cat entry is. Unfortunately, whatever the Max the Cat one was, I can't find any tools that can make heads or tails of it. Looking at a hex dump it looks like a project file for some DAW (Apple, presumably, so maybe Garageband?) with ID3 tags tacked on... there are ...

Re: Gear Acquisition Syndrome
Does software count? I dropped some money on yet another pack of virtual instruments I'll never use because I never have time, but they're insanely cool. It's a bunch of virtual brass instruments from Samplemodeling. The unique thing about them is that there are no pre-recorded articulations - you c...

Re: mixing tips
For floating point engines it only matters if the DAW clips the signal coming out of a plugin, or the plugin does it (floating point can go above 0 dB). In any other case it doesn't matter. That said, if you want to make extra sure not to do it, just trim everything by 10 dB before you set up any pl...

Re: Circle of Titles - The Return
Looks like I'll be busy with work stuff for the entire weekend, in preparation for next week's vacation. This is the only time I had available for writing and recording a song.
I think I'll be very late.

Re: Collecting royalties
You guys are so lucky. In Germany the only option is GEMA and if you sign up with them, it's an exclusive deal (they automatically get to do the collecting for everything you've ever made). I recall an event where GEMA charged an artist for putting up his own songs on his own website...

Re: Sample rate and bit depth survey
24/44.1 for the last 10 years or so. To explain the terms a bit more: sample rate determines up to which frequency you can capture sounds - and nothing else. The theoretical limit is half the sampling rate, but for technical reasons (to prevent aliasing) a low-pass filter needs to be applied interna...
