Dynamics or dynamic range is just the difference in amplitude between the lowest and highest peaks. i.e. a squashed mix will have it's lowest peaks way higher than a non squashed mix, thus having less dynamic range. Amplitude, in this case measured by dBFS does not equal loudness. It's only a relat...

I think it's how you percieve it. If you look at a waveform and it has those sharp spikes and ridges which I would consider DYNAMICS. Just because a wave form has a big spike doesn't mean it's necessarily going to be equally as loud. Sometimes the dynamics act as amplitude. Something like a snare s...

To be fair, I think it represents both amplitude and dynamics. More so dynamics, though. Unless it's been compressed/squashed so much to look like a sausage. In which case, there really are no dynamics to be represented. I'm new to this, but from what I've read about it this is kinda what I gathered...

Anyone think that creating a song using mostly samples is a shameful act? What about if you chop them, re-arrange them, pitch them and fill it all in with a little of your own stuff as necessary for the piece? And of course, EQ, Compress and mix the track to ensure it all fits. Forget about it "...

I make loads of intro tracks as do many other people, they're cool for using in mixes too. I usually make intro's out of ideas that won'tfill out a full song, like recently I made this pretty "emotional" chord and arp sequence using strings/piano/filtered synths and then I layered in a sp...

So, I've been woring on a track that has "freak vocal" effects on audio which i created a song from. I wrote the words, which are spoken, and placed them accordingly into a track I made as I saw fit. It starts out with a melody that sounds dark and eery and bells are used for the synth whi...

Just curious.. Are you saying if a label sings you and offers to do your artwork for you, don't do it? Or don't do your own artwork if you're signed? Different labels have different budgets, but if you are signed to a label, you shouldn't have to pay out of your own pocket for the artwork... ..that...

Won't let me PM you for some reason? Says user does not exist?

You sir, are a champ!

This has to be the best site ever known to mankind. Anybody interested in assisting me with my production PLEASE PM ME! Maybe we can skype or something! Or send me to someone who is!

You'll be able to use your computer keyboard as a 'music' keyboard in FL Studio, a MIDI controller is by no means essential. Not essential, I am using keyboard right now. But it's SO nice having an actual keyboard rather than having to deal with not knowing which keys are a "note". Having...

@BrainSick...you totally confused, bewildered and crushed by all the info in this thread? ;p More like totally stoked af, trying to soak it all in and just glad I'm getting good feedback from people who know this stuff. Like I said, better than watching someone do something and not getting answers ...

Basically the effect makes the pitch of the voice adjustable. I lowered the pitch about 3 db (I think) I suspect you mean 3 semitones or octaves. Not coming down on you for it or anything. Just saying that you need to gain a good understanding of the terminology you're using so that you can underst...

I've been producing like 6 months and I understand what you mean. You listen to shit like KDrew, Adventure Club, Helicopter SHowdown etc., and the shit is all over the place? Well, one thing I suggest is to find a mentor. Someone who uses the same DAW and can show you the ins and outs. Secondly, res...

Hey, I know sound design is pretty universal as far as the waveforms, frequency, cutoff blah blah.... Any good tutorials out there for Massive, specifically? I know there's tons of videos on youtube to make different patches like "How to make a skrillex growl" :u: but I'm talking more abou...

Yeah, I just started getting into mixing recently and it's quite a complicated and in depth process. Probably consumes more time than anything else IMO. And sound design is a major work in progress... Always. I would like to have enough knowledge that I don't have to use a preset or alter one if I d...

Depends, but if you're releasing your EP on a label, and they're telling you to get your own artwork etc. sorted, then don't do it. Trust me. Generally I do my stuff myself these days, using photos that I, or a friend, take and just edit them on my phone or computer. It largely depends on the aesth...
