Music Production

Like, if you're sad and you listen to sad music, what does mood tend towards as a result of the emotional interplay with the music? Does it alter the expression of the current or previous mood to some end or what exzctly do you think is happening?

Does it actually change the mood or create a sort of emotional chord progression that tends towards resolution or creating a new emotional tonic?

Only halfway in and it's already very interesting and too much for me to summarize but I do love the idea of subtly releasing music to poison models.

The demonstration at 15:07 is a good preview but the entire video is worthwhile.

Or 22:25 for a more malicious use of this tech.

Edit: fixed timestamped links.

Some good news for all, especially Reaper users. Inflator, Phoenix, L2 clones and more in this sweet suite.

I want to SEE the music made from thinking rock dreams. Recording is literally turning sound into stone and I wanna see it but I cant and dont know how. I've asked this a couple times but I feel like I was always wanting to see how music is encoded as text/binary whatever and I cant

I love Sia's, to my ear, it almost sounds evocative of that Native American thing where they rapidly oscillate their hand in front of their mouth while vocalilizing, often accelerating. Its intoxicating

Anyone second the Native American doing that hand yodelly sound thing?

I mean like a giant wine glass that has a circular opening that can be covered by a round and disc shaped portable speaker?

Something something resonance?

What is the effect when you direct sound into closed dead-ends/sealed containers? Especially when sort of elevated and not connected to the ground or other surface...

I found this a cool commentary on whether or not sound design matters in electronic music.

I'd love to discover a way to record a continuous performance (no cuts/overdubs) that starts without click and then continues to a click in the middle of the piece.

An external metronome could be triggered by foot pedal, for instance. But could it be done all within the DAW? Has someone devised a Reaper script for such a thing?

Especially for recording vocalists, I've found it much easier to mix dynamic mics. Dynamic mics don't often get the praise they're due.

Condenser mics are more expensive to build, so they are regarded as more expensive-sounding, which hasn't been 1:1 in my experience. I find that a 57 sounds better than most budget condenser mics. I think they're a much better bang for the buck.

What do you think?

• (gaussian) blurring = low-pass filter?

Something something sine waves?

Edit: Walk Like A Man by Four Seasons thanks and credit to groucho for finding it!

~~Not sure if thats in the chorus or somewhere else in the song, i just sort of vividly recal all the oooos and wooos 😅~~

~~Makes me think of Spandau Ballet and also that quartet group Frank puts together in Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia a bit but I just mean the sound~~

Just made an epic music video for the song I submitted to Routenote a month ago. I have never made a music video for a song and when I search to find advice it's not about what I'm curious about. So here are some questions and I would also love any advice from anyone with experience distributing songs with music videos.

• As my song is not yet processed, I can still cancel and switch distributor. Are there any Distributors that are extragood with having music videos for songs? Any to avoid? Why?

• I do not like google and would prefer to not touch youtube. What is the ideal way that does not feed in to google's empire to have the music video available online? Or should I make a youtube account and play their game?

• other tips?

Thank you.

The picture shows how it looks like when I´m planning the structure of a new piece of music. This time it´s Ambient Techno. In the book I explain each step, lay out the “whys and hows”, show alternatives and – first of all - “detect” the characteristics of the musical style, which the pieces are going to be examples of. If everything develops according to my plans, I´ll be able to publish this e-book on the 30th April. I´ll keep you informed, here as well as on my website https://dev.rofilm-media.net. Cheers and peace! Rolf

Is there a way to turn most music into something more "triplety" for example by setting a delay of 0.33 seconds or something like that?

Love me some 6/8 time (or triple time maybe, I like 3 a lot) haha. I suppose I might looking to confirm or adjust my working theory that delay of 0.33 seconds to the point there's kind of a 2x echo after the initial beat would roughly equate to this but its a very rough draft

The only actual recorded example I can think of that illustrates the end result I'm interested and also aware of altho I think its more implied than actually necessarily in the music is Debussy's arrangement of Gymnopedie N. 1 by Erik Satie. I feel like the orchestra is basically generating this effect at least evocatively if not in fact. I

Might not be articulating this fantastically, not sure if I even know what I'm asking for or if it makes any sense 😅 If not, just making conversation i guess

Not looking for a specific special plugin, just trying to reason thru if its possible or how best to create a similar effect to someone holding the piano sustain pedal throughout

Closest I can think of is increasing the reverb decay times for both low and high notes but I'm just going off the parameters I can see that are adjustable, maybe add a low-pass filter for added blurriness/hazy-ness

My understanding is it sort of relates to a simulated acoustical physical space the music is intended to seem as if it is reverberating throughout

Is it correlated with the intimacy or closeness of the music, what else does it evoke? What is its relationship with artificiality and nature respectively?

What is its evolutionary purpose in terms of why we can parse and interpret it?
