• don't mix using earbuds
• get better speakers/monitors
• fuck her right in the pussy

well, yeah... I guess is the only way. Well, I'll use my earbuds (which sound good) for on the go and get some of those famous yellow monitors lel for home.

 

But really I'm amazed... Dude, wtf. A bass that sounds and feels "good" in my earbuds sound like fucking ass in my speakers (which are like 8 years old and obviously not for musix making) :(

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure the "XB" in the name of your earbuds implies that they are seriously far from neutral monitors and are emphasizing a shit ton of bass/mid bass, and you really should not use them for mixing purposes if you want your music to sound decent on anything without a fucked up emphatic EQ curve.

Not really satisfied with my creative output because i keep comparing it to my favorite artists. Wish i could just make music that I'm proud of without knowing that theres always going to be something better

"Better artists" should be felt as inspiration, not competition. You are only competing with yourself, to most sincerely manifest your heart into the world. When you get to a point that is even close to "being real and you" with your artwork (drawing, music, whatever), nobody else's output will be intimidating. When you think of others as competition, it stifles your own creativity and expression of self, because such mental context makes it easy to forget that "sincerity" is the highest form of output.

Plus, being "the best" never exists. And if it does, it's akin to being in a room full of mentally handicapped children. It's a crass example, but that's what it'd be like.

With music, I think a turning point for everyone is that time when one can play their tracks for others, without having to have 20 disclaimers before or during the playing of music. That, is confidence.

NEVER EVER EVER mix with earbuds, unless that is all you have. Laptop speakers are better. Unless you can mix with your eyes- reading freq waveforms- earbuds are gonna result in some bass crazy treble crazy no-mid crazy garbage. Or just any garbage. To hear how your earbuds are lacking, though, you can run a sine wave through and range up/down the freq to see where the tone goes out. Or, just goto manufacturer website, and they might have a chart posted.

But, "fuck her right in the pussy", is correct.

Yeah, what Peace said x 10

I lied about my earlier moan: I'm still making music lol. And, for the most part, I'm liking it better now that I'm not trying to make tracks from conceptual ideas (how pompous) and instead just going with something simple that sounds good to me. Best not to think about it too much. Let Aphex Twin or Plaid do what they do and just make tunes, man!

And yeah, mixing on headphones is craziness. Listen on headphones to check the mix you've done, sure but never do it all on them. My headphones are fairly neutral tho (Sony DJ700 or whatever the code it) so I know it's not being affected too much, but still....DON'T DO IT.

On a similar note: those Dr Dre headphones are garbage.

pissed, in a karaoke bar, watching two lesbians make out. what the fwp is, not sure.

oh yeah, its the fact that I gotta be at work tomorrow writing industry reports and shitnpnb.

aFUUUUUUUUCK

don't do it.

listening to joe diorio play autumn leaves on youtube and it makes me want to practise but my brother is asleep. -sie- If we were rich we could have nice sound proof rooms or at least an upstairs and downstairs, ar welL.

that was really not a good idea last night. kicking myself right now.

More serious FWP than the previous one I posted - my lower back aches like a bitch, especially above my right arsecheek. Could very well attribute to the combination of frequent heavy lifting @ my job and prolonged sitting in the now-decrepit "comfort" chair in my bedroom. I'm too young to be walking like an octogenarian.

I tried this shiatsu massage seat thingy, but it doesn't seem to be helping. I hope it doesn't require me to go to the hospital, but if it does, maybe I could get muscle relaxers, like cyclobenzaprine. For now, just gonna avoid the problem chair and take Advil until I get a new one.

I kno the feeling bru

I too spent all of yesterday evening drinking heavily and now have a 7am start.

Already 20mins late and not caught the cunting train yet.

Even though I'm probs just a character in your dream I want you to know that I belieber in you spiral and you will be O.K. I also believe in life after love.

Brrrrr. Still drunk at 9am.

I faintly remember my dad trying to teach me some line dancing whilst having a surprisingly animated conversation about chicken. The dancing didn't go too well, he was more interested in showing off his "moves" than teaching. I knew it was time for bed when I decided to shed light on the irony of said father - who is very right wing - merrily leaping about the kitchen to Irish songs about oppression from us English snakes.
