You want to be looking for IEMs (In Ear Monitors) in your searches to yield the best results at that price range.

At $360 they’re pretty far out of your budget but the Moondrop Dusk just got released and they come with a good USB-C DAC cable. I mention them because they also sell the cable separately and will work with most 2pin (non-recessed) IEMs.

I received mine a couple of weeks ago and I’m thoroughly impressed with them and would even consider them good enough to mix with. They hold up well against Senn HD650s which I normally use to mix when I’m not using my monitors.

But if you need to stick to that price range, the Moondrop Aria are also very good for the money (I own them too) and you could get the separate USB-C headphone cable all close to your budget.

I know I seem like a shill for Moondrop but they are pretty much the best price to performance IEM manufacturer at the moment.

I feel your pain. There doesn’t seem to be much choice for quality earbuds, even when you are willing to pay more for it. I recently returned a pair of Sony earbuds that sounded so dogshit it was insulting.

Based on some audiophile conversations I have read, it might be worth looking into IEMs (in-ear monitors). From the bit of research I’ve done, it seems you can get better quality from these compared to regular consumer earbuds. It looks like you may need to get a cable that has a mic built in, but that might give you more options.

The first thing I would check is if you have noise removal enabled on your conference call software and maybe install RTX voice if you have an Nvidia GPU.

My preference is to use a ModMic so I can use whatever headphones I want. Open back headphones were a game changer for my conference calls.

yardratianSoma, (edited ) in What is the best AI stem separator?

demucs is pretty good. It can be run locally, for free. I haven’t tested it with 5.1 channel audio, but by default it splits the stems into bass, drums, vocals and other.

tjsauce,

Ended up using this one, it works very well

yardratianSoma,

nice, have fun!

Electric_Druid, in Osmosis Jones: Lost Soundtrack

This is awesome, thanks for the hard work

Yerbouti, in Focusrite scarlet 4i4 and Ableton audio routing

4 in / 4 out. This means that the headphones out will output the same stereo feed as one of the main. So basically you get 2 separate stereo outputs that can be routed how you want in Live.

WbrJr,

Ok, makes sense. Thanks!

Dead link :(

Jiggle_Physics, in I'd rather pay the artist than Epidemic Sound

This is probably super obvious, and you already tried, but I have to ask, Is there any way to contact them outside of ES? Does Wanderer’s Trove have a site, social media, etc.? If so, do they post any contact information like e-mail? If you get ahold of them directly they will be able to direct you to where you can buy their stuff without a third party if there is one.

rootsandcalluses,

I have not been able to find contact information for them. But I also don’t care if it is their songs or something in the same style, so other artists would be totally fine.

There’s a bunch of similar artists at the bottom if that helps.

rootsandcalluses,

Thanks, I’ll see if any of them are actually similar (to my ears) and have contact information available.

Jiggle_Physics,

Yeah I have looked myself. With how little they have out there I wouldn’t be surprised is their ES contract does not allow them to have any independent audience interaction. I mean there doesn’t even seem to be a source saying the names of the musicians.

rootsandcalluses,

Yeah, I assume you are right about that. Which really just makes me want to find a way around Epidemic Sound even more.

Are you referring to unmaking audio? I use Steinberg’s SpectrraLayers Pro as I am a Cubase user and whatever the last installation of it becomes resident as an extension but it does run standalone. I use it for things like audio repair and manipulation.

I think the other ‘big name’ in the field would be the RX10

None of them are perfect and it can be quite tricky to isolate to a forensic depth but I also know that SpectraLayers has better tool customisation and thresholds and also better layer management.

I suppose, like most audio things, people will tell you that the one they use os best so I wouldn’t;t just take my word for it.

xx3r, in Panning with only a few instruments?

The convention with rock music is have two takes of guitar and pan them hard left and right. Even if they are playing the same parts, human imperfections are enough to prevent a phantom center effect

Your idea about spliting by frequency range is often done on piano. You can try it but I think it works best if the guitar is strumming through all the strings. There are no hard rules in mixing, anyway.

tjsauce, in Should I put my samples on a separate physical drive?

I put my Reaper projects and samples on a large capacity flash card made for HD cameras. That way, I can transfer my files, maintain performance, and not have a USB stick I could hit or damage.

e0qdk, in How many unfinished tracks do you have
e0qdk avatar

Not sure, but I just checked and I have upwards of 3700 unfinished MIDI files I've authored over the past 20+ years -- more than 8MB of data. A lot of that is multiple drafts of the same songs (e.g. one song might have 3~5 variants from a single session where I was experimenting and kept all of the drafts as separate files, and sometimes I came back to an idea and experimented with it again and again like that over a period of years). I also tend to keep a lot of my musical doodles.

There's a couple dozen pieces in there that I think might be worth the effort of going back to and finishing someday, maybe; everything else is just my musical research notes, basically.

toothpicks,

Awesome stuff! That’s a lot haha

kozy138, in How many unfinished tracks do you have

Pretty much all of them 😂😭

toothpicks,

😂😂 Yeah I mean now that you mention it it probably comes out at 90 something percent unfinished for me too 😂😭 oof
