I’m a beatmaker. What can I do to improve my MIDI programming skills?
If you’re looking to improve your skills in programming MIDI, there are several areas you might consider focusing on. Here are some tips:
(more…)I’m a beatmaker. Do you cut the super low frequency range during mastering?
Whether or not to cut the ultra-low frequency range during mastering depends on various factors, such as the purpose of the project, the genre of the music, and the medium of distribution (e.g., CD, streaming, vinyl).
(more…)I’m a beatmaker. Please tell me the difference between MP3 and WAV.
As a beatmaker, understanding the difference between MP3 and WAV audio file formats can be quite useful. Here’s a breakdown of the key differences:
(more…)Tell me about hip-hop that doesn’t use sampling.
Sampling is a technique where portions of other songs or sound recordings are cut and integrated into a new musical composition. This technique is commonly used in hip-hop music. However, not all hip-hop relies on sampling.
(more…)I’m a beatmaker. Please tell me the difference between a filter and an equalizer.
As a beatmaker, understanding the difference between filters and equalizers is crucial. Both are audio processing tools used to adjust specific frequency components of sound, but they serve different purposes and functions.
(more…)I’m a beatmaker. Please tell me how to make the sound lo-fi.
Lo-fi (Low Fidelity) music is known for its “imperfect” quality, often featuring raw, analog-type sounds. Below are some methods you can use to achieve a lo-fi sound:
(more…)I’m a beatmaker. Teach me how to use a limiter and a maximizer.
As a beatmaker, limiters and maximizers are valuable tools at your disposal. These are used for controlling the dynamics (fluctuations in volume) of your audio.
(more…)I’m a beatmaker. Teach me how to use pitch shift.
Pitch shifting is a commonly used technique in music production that allows you to alter the pitch (musical tone) of a sample or recorded audio clip. Here are some general ways you might use pitch shifting:
(more…)I’m a beatmaker. Teach me how to use a flanger.
A flanger is a type of audio effect commonly used in music production and mixing. This effect is achieved by mixing an original audio signal with a slightly delayed copy of itself. The result often sounds “jet-like” or “spacey,” and while similar to a chorus effect, flangers usually have a more dramatic sonic character.
(more…)I’m a beatmaker. Teach me how to use a multiband compressor.
Multiband compressors are incredibly useful tools in sound engineering and music production. Unlike a standard compressor, a multiband compressor allows you to divide the audio spectrum into several different frequency bands (or “bands”) and apply independent compression to each.
