Music Making

[solar canopy]

Linux life

Biggest reason I'm not switching to linux is lack of software I need

Good video player is big one, I use potplayer on windows. Sure vlc works and plays the files, but I want some playlist features that potplayer has, and also my favourite, completely customizable hotkeys for almost any action you can do manually

Yeah there are options if you just want something that works

But back to players, if I was starting now I would probably use musicbee, it does so much things out of the box right compared to foobar where you really need to set everything up yourself pretty much. Though I am bit of a tinkerer so who knows if it could satisfy all my needs

Speaking of ugly, I can't update my foobar to a newer version which would be all black because my playlist plugin I've been using all these years is broken on that, so I'm stuck with the old school style white window borders on it

Looks nice

Sounds a bit tedious

One thing musicbee couldn't do is fit into vertical monitor how I would like, there was some sidebar thing that you couldn't get rid of which is bad when horizontal space is limited

Bit blurry because I currently have 4k monitor as main and I use scaling, and foobar doesn't behave well with scaling if it's not on the main monitor. But basically I just want lots of space to see the songs in queue

Looks pretty ugly because on this older version you can't do anything about those white borders, but I need my playlists more than a pretty player

I mostly use them for kpop because albums are not consistent through or even good

But also to weed out some albums or songs I really don't care about from otherwise good discography so I can just press play when I want to

Yeah

But even if all songs are good, they often have very different moods. Like for the day I usually like some blasting, but for night driving something more chill might work better sometimes

[solar canopy]

Good example is a special version of a cd with some bonus live songs, I don't usually want those when I want to listen the album

The archivist in me doesn't allow that

Sometimes there are good bonus songs though that just didn't make it to the standard cd

Yeah, live versions on standard cd doesn't really work as bonus. I guess it could be cool if it's your favourite song or something, but I don't think they even select exceptional performances or anything, just toss some in there and call it special edition

Indeed, same brain

[solar canopy]

Exactly my experience as well when I tried it

[solar canopy]

Yeah. So much is just preference, there is not really one correct way, as much as some people in the interwebs would like to argue about it

[solar canopy]

Yeah it can be a never ending cycle, if it already sounds good I wouldn't touch anything. I posted this before but my eq looks like this, nothing super drastic, biggest change is just 3db because the 200hz-ish range is too pronounced on these imo

I use equalizer apo, which is great because you can load vst plugins in it so I just use reaper's eq. You could use pro-q as well but sometimes it wouldn't load the settings on that on boot I had to manually set it off/on every time. Not sure about your options on linux tho

But to me 770's sound great out of the box anyway so I don't feel the need to tweak them

I actually hate I even feel the need to eq these, I would much prefer if out of the box sound was great

Like with helix I had to make impulse response out of my eq curve to put at the end of the chain on every preset because there is no other way to match it so I can play without delay

[solar canopy]

It is yeah, transferring the eq between devices is the biggest problem with it

[warm girder]

Don't know if this the correct place to ask but I'm looking for a piece of equipment.

An audio inteface that has a compression, noise gate function

but I think the gear I should be looking should be a mixer instead of an audio interface, maybe you guys know something

[solar canopy]

Doesn't have noise gate but yamaha AG03/06 has compressor and eq for the mic input. Something like rode's rodecaster lineup might have gate and compressor, or maybe some other podcast focused thing, interfaces don't usually pack that much features themselves. I'm also assuming you want it on the mic input since you didn't specify

[warm girder]

oh this looks sick, will have to check it out and yes im want the the features to be on the mic

the size is good but goddang the price on that lol

[solar canopy]

I have AG06 myself

[warm girder]

yea never seen one with those features, was hoping there was one

rn im using the usb mode of the samson q2u,

was thinking of upgrade to the setup with an audio interface or a mixer

[solar canopy]

The software for it looks like this, you don't need the software running all the time as it saves the settings on the unit

[warm girder]

oh that's cool, this is kinda perfect for me lol but the price

yea before i keep swapping my headphones every 2 years or so

[solar canopy]

Oh yeah what's your budget, that's kinda relevant

[warm girder]

then i switched to chi-fi iems and samson q2u like in 2021, never looked back

somewhere around 100usd i guess, i already found an alternative. behringer xenys 502s

it only has eq but its somewhere around that price point

my ear rn is pretty much molded to the iems

first few months was brutal to my ears

[solar canopy]

My right ear in so weirdly shaped everything just falls out of it, even my custom molded plugs don't hold super well

[warm girder]

oh dang, might have to do another mold again i hear those are expensives

[solar canopy]

Aye

[solar canopy]

AG03 is 150€ and has compressor as well if that's not too much. Can't really replace a compressor with eq

Oh damn it seems way more expensive in freedom land

[warm girder]

reviews says it's a trash mixer lol, guess im not buying that one

[solar canopy]

Yeah behringer is a bit hit and miss, some products are great, and many times I've heard from friends that they will never buy behringer again after their experience

[warm girder]

oh im in PH more limited in choices and expensive

[solar canopy]

Ah you said usd so I made assumptions. Does thomann ship/have good pricing in your country?

[warm girder]

i think they do a 50€ flat fee

[solar canopy]

Oh damn

[solar canopy]

@warm girder Not sure if it's any good but from quick look seems like focusrite vocaster one has eq and compressor and it's only 45€ here at least

[warm girder]

hmm sounds too good to be true

i think you missed a single digit

[solar canopy]

Idk why the website says its that expensive

[warm girder]

it does look good tho since its a focusrite

that looks like a steal for you rn lol

buy one and resell?

[solar canopy]

Huh, seems like it's just really cheap in europe for some reason

Hmm, looks like it's just thomann

@warm girder I mean this is pretty decent at this price for you too even if the shipping to you is 50€ from thomann

Assuming it's any good, I haven't watched anything but focusrite is generally been decent on the consumer side too

[warm girder]

i checked the vocaster price in thomann, it's 42$ wtf, with 60$ shipping fee then its kinda good

[solar canopy]

Curious thing since this doesn't seem standard pricing elsewhere than thomann

Even thomann it doesn't read like it's a special deal or anything

[warm girder]

im looking some other brands like maono but idt maono is popular brand

[warm girder]

i think the vocaster comes with a set of mic and headphones, thats why it costed like 169ish but in thomann they only sell the unit itself

[solar canopy]

It's $250 with the mic and headphones set elsewhere

Elsewhere being sweetwater, guitar center almost all listings on reverb

Worse that can happen is they send you email saying the pricing was an error I guess

[fringe laurel]

People claim there's some difference with higher fidelity audio sources if played through discrete gear and I don't know how much of that is true, but there's an obvious price bracket for audio stuff ranging from speakers to headphones so you have to take their word for it that there is an apparent difference

But this is true in most accounts

Try reading about MQA, probably the most snake oil I've ever discovered

That's exactly why

"Most" people

Not "some" people

It doesn't

But gearheads will make it as it is

Yeah I am very happy with my 50 dollar IEM

[fringe laurel]

I mean you kinda chose this path

I made peace with collecting FLACs once I stan 3 groups at the same time

• 16bit 48kHz and 192kHz 24bit sounds the same nowadays

Thank OPUS for that

[solar canopy]

Just because it supports higher frequencies doesn't mean there's any point to it, anything above around 20 khz is usually cut off anyway. And also, how are you supposed to mix something you can't hear

[serene star]

maybe need to confirm something, are the snippets used on the individual teaser videos are songs in the album?

oh nvm, already answered

there's no other way around but that's the secondary option as of now

i guess i can improve a bit, so here's version 2.0 featuring more richer samples!

[solar canopy]

Biggest variable in all of this is when people talk about lossy formats, it never means just one thing, and bitrate is really what makes all the difference. Of course 128 kbps mp3's compared to lossless are very noticeable, where as with 320 kbps mp3's it's getting hard enough to distinguish that you actually need solid setup to even notice the difference. And 320 kbps mp3 is far from the best lossy format.

[undone swallow]

MP3 320k CBR has been the bar for a while because it's transparent, and because everything supports MP3; and not because it's particularly the best option available in any other front

game developers for instance struggle with mp3 because there's a small amount of silence placed at the beginning of all audio tracks for some reason, so they have to use Vorbis or Opus instead

AAC is really popular but you cannot really convert to good quality AAC yourself unless you have iTunes do it

It's not the best codec

[solar canopy]

This is the real problem. I just bought yet another 4tb ssd for my music alone

Well I actually bought the ssd for my reaper projects but as a consequence the other 4tb ssd got dedicated to music

I gotta built the nas soon, it's getting pretty messy with so many drives

Also I don't like the drive letter/drive order, but I can't bother to change it because everything is dependent on the drive letters

Yeah games and movies eat the most. Music as well of course, along with reaper projects and related plugins

[sage cave]

i shouldve known this was here the whole time

this is like the optimal place to share my stem remixes lmao

i started doing this a while ago lol and its rly fun, i realized i could just seperate instrumentals by the stem lines and chop them up to reproduce the tracks lol

[fringe laurel]

192kbps AAC supremacy

I take transparent lossy format any day

[fringe laurel]

@undone swallow 2 of these will do the trick

Place it semiperpendicular to your speakers behind

[undone swallow]

This thing has like four angles

Perpendicular to the diagonal between the walls?

or perpendicular to one wall?

[fringe laurel]

Diagonal to your speakers

Well, yes the corners of the walls

But the y-height is what matters here

[undone swallow]

same height to the speakers?

[fringe laurel]

Yep

[undone swallow]

And the corners behind

[fringe laurel]

Well this is the more utilitarian method

[undone swallow]

Yeah I've seen online that you have to do all corners and to the ceiling

floor to ceiling i mean

[fringe laurel]

The more "mathy" method is to just use the 2x4 thick ass acoustic panels and actually calculate your speaker reflections points relative to your listening position

Now THAT'S gonna help your speakers give out the flat response without messing so much in SoundID/REW

But that requires at least 4 of those acoustic panels

[fringe laurel]

Not always

There's a specific calculations on how much panels you actully need based on Sabine and Harman

[undone swallow]

I started hanging those woolly-like blankets in my walls but never finished

[fringe laurel]

kek

You're gonna kill your highs if you overdo it

[undone swallow]

do you think if i hang one on the corner diagonally it'll absorb the bass?

[fringe laurel]

One? No

Acoustics apparently very appreciate symmetry

[undone swallow]

So I do both corners then

[fringe laurel]

Yep

[undone swallow]

I have a closet on the other side. I'll save up for the diagonal panels instead

Does it matter which glue i use?

[fringe laurel]

nope

Weld it to the wall for all I care

[undone swallow]

I don't think the foam will survive that. Point taken tho

[fringe laurel]

The wall might not survive too

[undone swallow]

At that point i'm not 100% sure my room will survive

[fringe laurel]

US?

[undone swallow]

Or the house

[fringe laurel]

yeah don't

Kek

Wood is a good fuel

[undone swallow]

It's adobe

ik everyone hates Adobe but it is cheap

[fringe laurel]

Point is sound hits hard stuff, reflects

Sound hit soft stuff, absorbs

What sets high, mids and low absorbers apart is the make of the panels

[undone swallow]

adobe needs to be like 1m thick to stop sound from going through. i don't have that privilege

[fringe laurel]

Thicker panels absorbs low

[undone swallow]

Bass I assume are most affected by room corners

[fringe laurel]

Now that's another sound topic that's unfortunately mutually exclusive with room acoustics

Acoustics =/= noise blocking

[undone swallow]

i know

lol

i just wish i could feel privacy in this room. bleh

[fringe laurel]

Yeah A LOT people confuses soundproofing with "reducing reverb"

Like

a lot

Much more that I am in the industry

[undone swallow]

I know you can buy vinyl curtains to block noise leaking but I don't know where you can do that over here

Whatever

[fringe laurel]

Oh that's just standard double blackout curtains

Not complicated at all

[undone swallow]

To be clear, the bass traps are meant to be on the corners behind the speakers, right?

[fringe laurel]

Yep

But again, the utilitarian way

[undone swallow]

What's the non-utilitarian way?

[fringe laurel]

The "real" way is to calculate the literal position of the panels

Relative to speaker and listening position

and that takes AT LEAST 4 panels

[undone swallow]

What if i just do the whole corner?

[fringe laurel]

It'll alleviate the obvious low frequency waves

So you have more headroom for your room EQ

[undone swallow]

Are those bass traps for three wall corners any good?

[fringe laurel]

Don't know

[undone swallow]

two walls and ceiling/floor i mean

[fringe laurel]

I haven't encountered three corner walls

Oh

Can't really say, I haven't quoted to client those kind of products

[undone swallow]

Hm

So what do you put in the ceiling corners?

[fringe laurel]

But my way of covering floors and ceiling is to use carpets

[undone swallow]

Hm. I have no idea how much is a carpet

[fringe laurel]

Most of the time I ignore it

Because the absorption I already got from panels behind my speakers is already great, helps that I treat the room FIRST then I care about speakers second

Meaning I get the room's RT60 value already in the range that I want

And then I proceed with speaker placements

[fringe laurel]

Any carpet that you are able to sleep on works

[undone swallow]

I see

[fringe laurel]

Thick enough carpets helps with diffusion and mid-high absorption

So literally go to IKEA

Lie down onto the carpets until you found one you can doze on

That's a perfect one

[solar canopy]

Best strategy is having a cottage in the forest with really thin wood walls so the bass frequencies just fuck off into the woods

[fringe laurel]

LMAO

You might attract bears

[solar canopy]

Those big floofy bois would be great bass traps as well, if a bit dangerous

[valid garden]

going cheapo all the way since ‘24

i mostly mix either with speakers or on headphones lol

[gloomy hound]

what do you do for noise cancellation from like yr computer? do you do it post recording or is it not an issue?

[valid garden]

i do it mostly post

[gloomy hound]

ah okay thank you o7

[valid garden]

and it's only on vocals depending on what microphone i use

when i record vocals if i wanted a cleaner sound i would figure out the perfect distance so it wouldn't clip. i had a project i finished where i meticulously had to get 2 vocalists to stand at a certain distance from the mic on certain parts of the song

[fringe laurel]

LMAO egg carton diffusers

also that's a fake Yamaha desk if I ever saw one

Try getting into Behringer

[valid garden]

i mean if it works it works...

[fringe laurel]

Oh yeah

[valid garden]

i had a smaller one i swapped like 2 months ago i can't remember the brand and it's probably a bootleg rockford mixer i used for backing tracks and click

[fringe laurel]

Just that I wouldn't have faith on products that I put out from that

Not that I am implying it's horrible

[valid garden]

i wouldn't mind a roast

[fringe laurel]

Before that I want to know why a desk/mixer instead of audio interface

That looks like it's eating up desk real estate

[valid garden]

actually the mixer goes straight to this cheapo V8 "interface" which is plugged into my pc, the mixer is there so i can control the gain higher than what the V8 can handle. sounds dumb and cheap, but i gotta make do lol

[fringe laurel]

I wouldn't call that "V8 Souncard" an interface in any stretch

eventho it technically operate as one

Abysmal quality for anything beyond 80Hz and 15kHz

Plus.... no proper preamps

Just a "here's some volts, now go loud"

Completely disregarding any gain or limiter system

[valid garden]

the one i have has this weird buzzing noise mostly when plugged in too, which sucks

[fringe laurel]

lmao grounding

I'd advocate this to literally everyone

Yes, you can compensate

But only up to a point

I almost certain you can save up for a Behringer UMC22

[valid garden]

i wouldn't record my DI tracks on a V8, so i agree

[fringe laurel]

and throw out that mixer and V8

Also, comforter hanging onto wall >> egg cartons

[valid garden]

i also don't like the unnecessary noise gate on the V8. it only happens once i plug in a 1/4" jack

[fringe laurel]

Kek

More reasons to just dunk it into the trash

[valid garden]

do you guys prefer recording with a DI box or go direct?

bc i remember seeing a connor sweeney (ex-loathe) vid that he records with it iirc

[fringe laurel]

In some venues it's not "prefer"

It's a "you gotta have it"

and in the theoretical sense I get why

At all times, you would want balanced signal coming through your PA/interface

Less issues to deal with, when issues pop up

Just that functional (not decent) DI boxes are stupid cheap

Like this is 50 dollars and session PA vendors use this

If it works for them (PA vendors, usually small to medium venues) it 100% works for you

Since they're more picky on what they can plug in

Dealing with SPLs greater than 100dB they need to get the good stuff so when they want to stage the sound it's saving them time taken for whatever mixing and tuning they need to do on the main desk

25 dollars, also seen used in fields too

[coral iron]

Guys is 21 too old

for making music

[fringe laurel]

I am probably in a bubble

But kinda baffling me right now that 80% of the amateur musicians I come across in my gigs/studio have never heard of "balanced audio"

Amateur here means quite a big scope;

Musical students, solo buskers, part time instrumentalist

Like they see this and say "yo I've seen that but what's that for"

[undone swallow]

i have heard about balanced audio but that's because i have a DAC and a pair of monitor speakers with balanced out and in

otherwise, i've never even used it

[fringe laurel]

Yeah you know that because you rock a discrete audio player

[undone swallow]

just my pc

[fringe laurel]

DAC is a discrete audio playback device

[undone swallow]

ah, i see

it also has dsd, it's an iFi Zen DAC first gen

[fringe laurel]

I am talking about just the general keyboard player

or that acoustic guitar busker just across two streets

[undone swallow]

yeahhhh hardly a reason to use balanced in those cases tbh

[fringe laurel]

Well unless you're on stage

[undone swallow]

yeah exactly

[fringe laurel]

But u right

[undone swallow]

however i also find it less likely that the musician on stage actually knows what balanced is for. if anything they'd dumb it down to "it sounds better on stage" for themselves

unless they actually manage the gear they have no reason to learn

[undone swallow]

i do match my releases to musicbrainz specifically because

• it's more accurate (even if i have to do it myself)
• my music player can then tell apart different releases inside a release group like: different editions of an album, different editions/volumes of a single, singles that are the title track (as in, they have the same name as the album, rather than kpop "title tracks")
• i can scrobble to listenbrainz. i hate last.fm and this way i can rename albums and tracks and it doesn't screw up scrobbling

that said, i do feel guilty when i'm too lazy to tag an album and end up playing the files on a different, more basic music player. that's the one side effect. but that might be just me being too obsessive. maybe.

also, album count according to myMPD: 2,858 albums (playtime: 88 days 22 hours)

it seems it annoys every kpop/japanese music user because those releases tend to be left behind and often i arrive having to add the tags

maybe navidrome has a function to group albums by folder?

yeahhhhh but blacklisting artists is a struggle to bring from player to player

you can use myMPD for a web browser accessible client. the web playback is actually optional and so are the musicbrainz tags

If you use MusicBrainz Picard it can find all your releases on MusicBrainz!!!!!! anyways if you keep your files in your left pane you can work on your files locally, and one cool feature (for either panel) is the script taggers

You could make a script that finds and replaces your tags, so you could translate them. It could also make them multivalue tags if you wish

You can keep track of all the genre translations in the script itself too

It's similar to the scripting foobar2000 uses

titleformat

So it's easy enough to learn

i mean more you should disable autotagging completely. instead go to the website and drag links into the right pane, or paste them into the top search bar to load that release

it's worth it to make scripts depending on how far you push your customizations to your library tags

but you can also... do it manually. you don't actually need the website

[undone swallow]

for kpop stuff i choose a release that is set as country south korea or worldwide and that is set as digital download

assuming it's a qobuz download

for cd releases i try to figure out whether either barcode or catno. are included

in fact for cd releases on slsk i usually download releases that have barcode or catno. on the folder name or included rips

otherwise i tag with another release and then in the panel below i remove the release id and track id tags, and any tags that identify which specific release it is

you're not always gonna match to the exact release but you don't have to use all tags

for those cases you can even fill it with garbage data so you know you don't know the release later on

i missed my subway stop. fuck. going back.

[undone swallow]

well, you don't actually need picard to fill in the tags

to tell you the truth, sometimes it removes the tags

for most use cases you only really "need" picard to standardise artist, album and track names

so if you tag manually, then the only use case you would really have is... use of scripts

[languid hamlet]

@fringe laurel @serene star music theory time, do u think angel 48's vocals and instrumentals are in a diff key?

[fringe laurel]

Nugu?

[languid hamlet]

aespa

but i think it even blends well

it's just that it kinda bothers me lol

[fringe laurel]

Will check later

What's the song

[languid hamlet]

aespa - angel 48

[fringe laurel]

Hearing it now

No weird stuff yet

Woah

4 Walls?

hey that's interesting

It is a different key but the same scale

It works

They are singing at the 5th of root

[languid hamlet]

Yeah it does

But it still feels weird for some reason to be idk

This is.... quite a game changer

Wireless low latency studio monitor headphones

But at a price that's not breaking the bank (relatively)

[solar canopy]

This was pretty fun. What do you play in the band?

[valid garden]

i write basically 95% of the songs. live i play bass/guitar. refused to play drums since late 2024 because i wanted to do guitar and backing vox

[solar canopy]

Cool, quite like your writing, very heavy. Also great to see another fellow guitarist here, I've been playing for 19 years myself. I don't play in a band though, just doing my own stuff.

[fringe laurel]

Confusing way to say "seasoned sessionist"

[fringe laurel]

1:07

[serene star]

[fringe laurel]

The entire (vocal only) chorus for this felt like it could be sampled, be in be background while FOCUS's verse comes in

[serene star]

oh yea i can kinda see where it's going

nice

it kinda have the same rhythm

[fringe laurel]

Same rhythm??

LMAO it's more than that

Like first listen to FOCUS my brain went

"wait hold the FUCK on"

"I've heard this vocal run before"

yep they've interpolated NeYo

or some form of it

[serene star]

honestly focus is perhaps my favourite song of the year

Hi im super drunk but from the beginning alone i believ ethis is 2 step

[jaunty saffron]

love that, ty

oo i hear it

[jaunty saffron]

and then i never got my feedback again.

[fringe laurel]

Owo

It's that 2-step groove but I am not a 2-step guy

[jaunty saffron]

any other genre?

[fringe laurel]

This can be just Pop

[jaunty saffron]

oki doki

[fringe laurel]

Lotta synths tho

[jaunty saffron]

[jovial wave]

Dance pop yeah

Especially the best switch to Jersey

Keep cooking

[fringe laurel]

Got theory people here?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-AkAUS4Ca98

Would you note this II v I iv?

At least that's how I hear it

I don't think it's #II for the first one cause I am considering the root E

And F is bII of E

watch I be completely wrong

[fringe laurel]

C#?

[fringe laurel]

Oh whoa you think the A is the I

We hear differently I guess

eh?

Isn't it A for the last chord?

Just chorus

Because I hear F# B E A

Fair

I most definitely think it's the roots because the bass notes are those ones

But that is purely because those are the most dominant ones that I hear

LMAO

Interesting

I know that the bass notes in a song isn't always the root

Just hummed it

Nope

You're probably hearing the vocals

Which does makes sense

[eternal star]
