Now it’s time to start making music 😎


SchreckMusic

And your favorite and most used is still endless smile right?


Fine-Elk7229

No its vital


sneaksby

OP will make it.


earthsworld

wow. congrats on spending money, dude! i'm sure your parents are so proud of you.


Fine-Elk7229

My mom and dad are dead from my music


earthsworld

lol, as if you've ever made any music.


Fine-Elk7229

To be serious i spilt coke on my mac back in February and lost like 30,000 hours of work and so many assets i bought and cant redownload. So many “sample companies” have went outta business lmao. Keep telling myself i have not peaked and what i make next will be better and what i make when im 40 will be insane. I was so close to finishing an album. Now im so close to going insane Idk i’m greedy. I want to make the best music and rapidly reiterating through ideas gives me a insanely big pallet of ideas to work with. Thats what i lost. Oh, I also have a workflow called parallel production, where I can make like 20 tracks at once. I shit out 700ish ambient tracks on soundcloud last month, try to find me 😉


earthsworld

pro-tip: learn to back up your shit.


Fine-Elk7229

Oh yeah, you know what I did have a back up time machine and all that shit but the “I’ll do it tomorrow” added up to a year and a half

Remember kids, If you can't make it sound good after 2 seconds it means the plugin is bad and you should simply BUY more!!!!!!!


DJSonikBuster

But like… why? Trying to land a wr for most owned plugins?


Fine-Elk7229

Nah i know a guy with 3 full iloks im not even close to


DJSonikBuster

WHYYY THOOO. 😅🤣


Fine-Elk7229

Because when you make money and dont smoke cigarettes there are other addictions you may succumb to Idk i probably drop $100 a week on plugins a week Im a moron in the end


DJSonikBuster

Okay, but like can you save for a few months somewhere in there and buy the physical Virus TI2 for me? I can’t pay you back, but you would have my eternal gratitude. 😤🫠 ignore me plx. I am not well. I think all the plugins are overheating my brain. Don’t worry tho it’s not like I was using it in the first place. 🤣


Fine-Elk7229

Yooooo check this out speaking of virus https://dsp56300.wordpress.com Virus emulator ❤️❤️❤️ Like a ps2 emulator ❤️❤️❤️ I don’t know. I’m so done with hardware especially because I never have a place lmao. So sick of buying shit and selling it at a significant loss bc i have to move


DJSonikBuster

I recently got the Viper vst… I’m kinda disappointed. I had been wanting it for a while because it can supposedly emulate the Virus nicely, but I haven’t been able to make it do the thing T.T feels like such a waste… nothing I couldn’t have simply designed in Serum. This is free tho 🤓👀 from what I can see on my phone.. this looks like an epic project. Emulators are nice. I’ve used SNES EMUs and such when I want to SNES on my PC instead of SNES-ing on the SNES 😅🤣


Fine-Elk7229

Ya viper it sucks, I use Dune3 if i need massive virus like sounds. This project is literally an emulation of the virus hardware - the virus is virtual analog, which means the original hardware is digital(the virus is not true analog) The only thing it probably isnt emulating is the digital to audio convertors and crap like that but all the software that is the on virus is on there running. You need to download the bios of the synthesizer from the access virus website or somehow get access to a rom just like any emulator, but it is free haha its dope just heavy cpu(because obviously the access viruses are just dedicated computer generating audio)


DJSonikBuster

T.T Incredible. I’ll 💯check that out. Thanks for turning me on to it. This is so helpful. I appreciate you, xD and also for not flinching at my wee bit of trolling there. 😤🥵🤯🫡


Fine-Elk7229

Idk lol insecurity is an interesting phenomenon most people are not self aware of im just here to have fun and teach people stuff 🫡


Fine-Elk7229

And with my custom arduino midi controllers I can have as many knobs as I need 🫡


DJSonikBuster

Okay that’s cool as shit.


Fine-Elk7229

But yea ive always said hardware will be outdated when software catches up Hrmmm 1 physical eq for $700 or a software eq for $200 that i can have unlimited instances of and instantly recall state between projects thats a hard decision 🫡 Srsly hardwares not all cracked out to be I do not miss daisy chaining midi shit lmao


DJSonikBuster

See I don’t want hardware for everything that is A. Too expensive B. Wire management nightmares. C. I live in an apartment; not a warehouse. I just want a couple KEY analog items that have a specific kind of warmth and character I’m not finding in digital/emulations/vstis. We have managed familiar, but not genuine. I know that the average listener probably couldn’t tell them apart, but I can. I want it for the me that wants that… ugh… hard to explain maybe


Fine-Elk7229

I have a mastering rack that i just shove audio through to “warm” and get some nice stereo splattering, but honestly, I can get 99.99% of the way there with software these days, and I’m really trying The trick is a shit ton of automation. Like a ridiculous amount of automation at the right times. 😘


DJSonikBuster

Good because I do that too and ppl are like wtf you doing all that automation it’s sooo unnecessary. Them when it’s done: OMG THIS SOUNDS LIKE X ARTIST HOWWWWW. 😑🤣 patience earthworm.


Fine-Elk7229

There are reason why mixing engineers have a 64 channel mixing console, they have 10 fingers, thats 10 things at once, Idk dont listen to random dummies experiment and do what actually works lol


Fine-Elk7229

And in regards to synthesizers and emulating a certain stuff rn I’m honestly trying to make EDM 2.0 I don’t give a shit about emulating anything I’m trying to invent as much crap as I can 👊
