I hope everyone had a great Christmas!

I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving!

I'm gonna be remaking the tracks from my first album. The Fable is the first "album" I ever released. when I put this album out, I knew NOTHING about how to make music other then some basic music theory. now that I have been working with audio going on 3 years now, I have decided to re do the album. I have found a style in making music, and I want my album to represent that. so stay tuned over the next few months as I start working on this project! you can find the original album on spotfy or YouTube or apple etc. it's on all of them. the artists name is Wook Knite (which i also don't affiliate with anymore).

How is a business going to say "we desperately need employees, looking to hire at least 10 people by the end of the year." Then not schedule their employees to work? Nothing in this world is free, and people need more then 10 hours a week of work. Wouldn't it make more sense to have 5 employees at 30 to 40 hours per week then to have 20 employees working 5 to 10 hours? Maybe I'm wrong? I am so ready to break free from the matrix..

Any music artists out there interested in either flipping a track or creating a drop/ section on a premade track as a collaboration? I have a few songs that I am willing to send out to other artists as a "cross promotional" opportunity! I fall into the EDM category. I like to make future bass style music as well as downtempo bass style music. Check out my wavlake for a better idea! I would love to have a feature on a track, or to even just collaborate on a track! Message me with ideas or let me know if you want a track to flip/ extend!

Hey everyone! I wanted to take a moment to share some tips and insights about mixing music. Whether you’re an artist or a producer, understanding the process can really help your tracks sound better! Here are a few key points to consider: 1. Balance is Key: Always make sure each element in your mix has its own space. Adjust the levels to create a balanced sound that feels cohesive. 2. Use EQ Wisely: Cutting frequencies can often make a track clearer than boosting. A little cut here and there can prevent muddiness and help instruments shine. 3. Dynamics: Compression can help keep your mix dynamic, but be careful not to overdo it. The goal is to enhance the song, not squash the life out of it! 4. Take Breaks: Your ears can get fatigued after a while, which can affect your decisions. Stepping away for a bit can help you come back with fresh ears! If you have any questions on mixing, or need some one to mix your track for you, message me! #MusicProduction #MixingTips #HomeStudio #ProducerCommunity

Compression on Vocals in Logic Pro - Vocals are one of the most important elements of any song, and compression is key to ensuring they sit perfectly in the mix. Logic Pro provides multiple powerful compressor plugins, each with its own flavor! Logic offers seven different compressor models, each simulating iconic hardware compressors. Here’s how to use them and what they bring to your vocal track: Platinum Digital Compressor Clean and transparent Best For - Pop, acoustic, singer-songwriter, or anytime you want the vocals to sound natural without too much coloration. This is a great go-to if you want a compressor that does its job without adding noticeable color. It maintains clarity, giving vocals a polished, professional feel without altering the tonal characteristics. Studio VCA Compressor Tight and controlled Best For - Punchy vocals in rock, pop, or electronic music where you need precision and control. Known for its ability to clamp down on dynamics while still allowing vocals to punch through the mix, the VCA is excellent for controlling aggressive vocal performances. Studio FET Compressor Bright and aggressive Best For - Rock, rap, or any genre where you want the vocals to have attitude and grit. Modeled after the famous 1176 compressor, the FET adds energy and excitement to vocals. It works great for taming dynamic vocals while also giving them some bite. Vintage VCA Compressor Smooth and warm Best For - Pop, soul, or R&B vocals where you want smoothness and a bit of color. This model is based on the famous SSL bus compressor and is known for adding a touch of warmth and glue to your vocals. Vintage FET Compressor Fat and punchy Best For - Vocals that need to stand out in busy, dense mixes like rock or electronic music. This vintage model delivers a punchier tone compared to the modern FET, while still controlling the dynamics effectively. It adds weight and thickness to the vocals. Vintage Opto Compressor Smooth and slow Best For - Ballads, jazz, or genres where you want a more laid-back, natural vocal sound. This model mimics the LA-2A, which is famous for its slow, gentle compression. It’s ideal for controlling vocal dynamics subtly while adding warmth. Classic VCA Compressor Punchy with color Best For - Any genre where you want the vocals to have a vintage, analog feel. The classic VCA is a more colorful and punchy version of the Studio VCA, often used in rock or vintage-sounding pop. It gives vocals a thick, punchy quality. General Compression Tips for Vocals Lower the threshold until you see about 3-5 dB of gain reduction during the loudest parts. For vocals, a ratio between 2:1 and 4:1 is typical, depending on how dynamic the performance is. Faster attack times (1-10ms) work well for catching peaks quickly, while slower attacks (10-30ms) can let more of the initial transient through, which is good for a more natural sound. Start with a medium release and adjust based on the vocal’s natural rhythm. A fast release will bring back the quiet parts sooner, adding energy, while a slower release will smooth things out. Make sure you LISTEN to the audio and adjust your settings accordingly. ONE VOCAL WILL USE THE EXACT SAME SETTINGS AS ANOTHER!!! If you need help with mixing your track or would like a professional ear on your vocal chain, feel free to check out my online portfolio, and reach out! first song is mixed for free, always!

Someone help me out! Im still getting used to nostr and all of the "apps" it has. I mainly use primal and I wanted to know if it would be beneficial to use any other apps as well? Or will the things I post about on primal be seen on other apps as I have posted them on primal? Asking for a friend. It's me. Im the friend. Thanks!

Hey everyone! I’ve been diving deep into the world of podcasting lately, and I’m loving every minute of it! There’s something truly special about helping creators bring their stories and ideas to life. One thing I’ve learned is that editing can really make a difference in the overall quality and flow of a podcast. It’s fascinating how a little bit of polishing can enhance the listener experience—whether it’s trimming the fluff, adding some sweet intro music, or balancing sound levels to keep everything clear. I’ve been experimenting with different editing techniques and mastering processes, and I’d love to hear how you all approach your podcasts! What do you think makes a podcast sound great? Any tips or experiences you’d like to share? Let’s chat! #Podcasting #AudioEditing #PodcastProduction #CreatorCommunity
