    I think you are the only one I don’t skip because you don’t lie to yourself and to us and also bring the MAIN CONCEPT through your experience and not blabla basic stuff. This is not an overcomplex or unknown concepts but your presentation of them makes me think about them from a completely new angle and it feels like my brain finally understands these concepts much deeper (like explosions in dat meme). I don’t know do you have a talent of explanation and these topics come to your mind by themselves but it’s really interesting how do you leave only pure gold. Really feels like my favourite university teacher’s lectures.

If one day you have time, consider making one of your subsequent 37, I would love to see a course dedicated to the use of subsequent 37 for melódic or peak time.

    I'd add transient 'hardness' to the four aspects of sound mentioned at the start. Distance tends to soften transients whereas close proximity tends to be associated with more defined or sharper transients.

    Great video as usual! On the syncopated percussions to fill the space, I always struggle to find good loops from sample libraries. Do you have any recommendations and tricks on how to create them myself? Maybe a randomizable device? One plugin that helps me a bit on that is DS Tantra, but it just helps mangling existing audio, whereas I’d like to have a different option that really creates perc loops from single samples or synths ;) Thanks

  • @_TheViewer_

    Wonderful Video !
    Let me ask real quick,
    did you send individuals into the dedicated rooms (kick in dark, hihats in bright room, clap in tilted for example) and then that’s it
    or did you then grouped the different reverbs again (like another 4th room or extra group to merge them all) ? ✌️

    • @Alice-Efe
      @Alice-Efe  10 месяцев назад +1

      I send the individual channels to different return channel. At the beginning of each return channel; I actually do a playback of what is coming to that channel. You can hear that what is sent to each return channel 😊

    ONE QUESTION THOUGH: I can imagine that all these return channels will eat up CPU with all the processors. Do you suggest or do you have tips&tricks to overcome that? Maybe record some sounds / turn them into audio with some effects on them and then do a less wieghted processing?
    Or should I just buy a new computer? :))))

    You explain things extremely well. There are very few that can explain in detail with such understanding like yourself. You and Streaky are my go to. I started a year ago. I wouldn't consider myself to be an amateur anymore and not a professional by any means. I am quite heavily invested at this point in terms of time. A lot of my free time goes into making music. Obviously i know that i need to invest some money into some decent headphones and speakers, but do you have any tips on achieving results close to a treated room? I use some gaming/music corsair £60 headset. And also use some £50 speakers/sub that i have. It's not amazing by any means. But other than over listening to reference tracks i am not sure what else to try. I also struggle with stereo and of course the classic mixdown of the bass and kick. If you could spare a moment to listen to some of my tracks, i'd love an opinion and what i should be working on most importantly right now. The grind is long and hard. But isn't made easier by my set up xD

      in Fl Studio making Aux/ Send Channels isn’t so difficult at all , but the Thing with Internal Sidechain triggering it’s a bit more complicated in Terms of Routing . That’s why i like to use other DAWs more like Cubase or Ableton instead of Fl Studio
