Been in bed most the day with a truly magnificent headache.

It seems to have let up a little but still pretty bad.

Fuck Michael Jackson.

@mxtthxw I hope you find some relief soon.

Don’t know what I’m doing today. It’s a day of mystery.

However, my glasses have broken so there is that to contend with. This may hinder progress.

@mxtthxw I'm now at a stage in life that I won't travel without packing a spare pair of glasses.

Hmm today feels like one of those days where I could just sit in a deep hole in the ground and repeatedly punch myself in the face. Which is nice...

@mxtthxw Or you could go for a walk (works for me).

@charlienorth My first laptop had 1MB RAM (and a 5MB hard drive). I thought it was amazing.

I put together a track for 2024... but I misunderstood the deadline 😅

However a finished track is never a bad thing - so go check it out while we wait for the contest to start!

Unfortunately, due to forseen and completely expected circumstances, I have horribly overbooked myself this week.

In order to make the Fedivision song contest deadline, I will be writing, recording, and submitting my entry tonight - in the next 3-4 hours, depending on when my infant wakes up.

I apologize in advance. May god have mercy on our souls.

@frigginglorious I wish you every success. May your music flow smoothly.

    @flockofnazguls @baymud I also had major audio and MIDI issues due to a cheap three metre USB extension cable. Nothing of importance was plugged into the powered bus on the end of the cable, but it affected everything else connected to the Mac Mini. Replacing that extension cable with one of the right quality resolved all my issues.

    Studio Update: A few weeks ago I was soliciting opinions about whether or not to get a Mac Mini to replace my ailing, nearly decade-old PC.

    Opinions differed, leaning toward "yes but get more RAM than base model" and I had just about decided not to do it when I stumbled on a good video from a music tech vlogger I really like (video here: https://youtu.be/obkCMxaIIFM) who did exactly what I was thinking and had great results.

    @etherdiver Good call. We're still running the last i7 Mac Mini witth 64GB, but I'm very tempted to upgrade to a new Mini on Mac Silicon.

    @GuitarSith@fosstodon.org avatar

    Well, I’m now beyond frustrated with Apple. Was working with Apple Loops in Logic this morning, went to use the search feature, picked a filter and now all the loops are totally gone. I reindexed them, nothing; reinstalled & reindexed them, nothing. Deleted the preference file, rebooted, nothing. Lost all my settings when I deleted the preferences too. So looking like I need to delete anything Logic related for preferences & logs the reinstall Logic. 🤬

    @GuitarSith Bummer.

    @elsemusic@musician.social avatar

    @GuitarSith I suspect that's going to be a picky and unrewarding process. Still, it would be good to know.

    elsemusic,
    @elsemusic@musician.social avatar

    @GuitarSith @ambergrey I had a similarly idiosyncratic issue yesterday in Reaper.

    I have a utility mastering project for demos and work in progress; it has some standard plugins, and I can drag a mix into it to quickly deliver a rough output to share and review. Yesterday it started replaying any track I tried mastering as if it was being run through a saturator and pitch shifter.

    I couldn't fix it. I had to re-create the project by replicating the structure and plugins from the original.

    OneBlindMouse, to random
    @OneBlindMouse@mastodon.scot avatar

    I use a pair of these, passive mixcubes to master my tracks... they have what's referred to as a 'useful musical range' (basically 90 Hz to 16 KHz and generally pretty flat), A/B stereo/mono and let me know what my music will sound like on a shit listening system.

    They're also good for tracking any bass being pull;ed into that range in a mix.

    I thoroughly recommend them, or similar.

    elsemusic,
    @elsemusic@musician.social avatar

    @OneBlindMouse We have a single Mixcube for the same purpose. Plus, being mono, it tells us how the track will sound on devices that have only a single speaker.

    If I can hear everything important on the Mixcube, then I know the mix is about right, except that I'll likely have to push the vocal up a couple of db.

    Quick update for anyone who's been following my job hunt: had an interview Thursday for a social media/writing job at a pet adoption place. Thought it went okay but found out yesterday I didn't get it. Ah, well. Kind of a bummer because it seemed like a cool place to work and it was as close as I've been to being hired so far, but them's the breaks. Back to it!

    @etherdiver It'll happen. Every rejection is one step closer to nailing a gig.
