>this is /g/ not /mu/ gtfo
We do not talk about the music as it is but how it's created and what we use and how to help
others get better
1 simple rule I hope you can guys do, please don't be assholes to those who
have a different perspective on another DAW, no matter what it is or how shitty
it is. I know there are some very laughable ones out there but ya know...
So please just be as helpful as you can.

>>Do you see yourself doing this way later on even if you get no where?
yep
Not sure what the point is here, questions seem a bit misguided, don't think this should be a general either
on that note I just got a new mixer the other day, now I can record drums and guitar at the same time which is pretty cool. I have to mix everything on the mixer though, then send through my m-box to reaper, so I cant control everything independently in reaper like I would like, but its better than what I had before!

>Not sure what the point is here, questions seem a bit misguided, don't think this should be a general either
Always looking to improve it and it started getting noticed sometime ago and people asked me to keep making them cause they are always looking for real time answers. I said sure and here we are. But if you have any ideas of what to fix for the general, I can look into it.
>>53359025
I like the idea of a general the problem is I dont know if there is enough of a community on /g/ to have a proper general. Not to mention there is an issue on /g/ right now with people freaking out saying we have too many generals.
And my beef with the questions is that it seems a bit too broad, I'd like to see something like
>daw
>why that daw
>things you like
>things you dont
>what you're working on
something more like that. that's more related to the actual program and by pointing out things you like or are having issues with it would help to develop more discussion, I think.
also, we should try to put together a strawpoll to see what most guys are using, and then maybe look at getting some kind of guide together on what daws are good for what, prices, etc. and go from there. Maybe include some short get off the ground guides. There's a lot ther and we would need a pastebin but if you want to do a general you should do it right, and like I said I'm all for it. I'd be happy to help
on that note I'm getting tired of my sound quality being shit in my recordings, pretty sure its my cable going bad though
>>53359102
>broad
cause if I make it any more complicated than that people aren't going to want to answer them and make it even more difficult.
>too many generals
It's a good board to post. Maybe we need more pages for /g/ to work with
thats why I'm using here, /mu/ and my discord to talk as much as we can on the subjects at hand. We are trying to build a good community up of the type of people who are laid back, understand it and don't take this overly serious. Magic TCG table flipping serious
>>53359131
>cause if I make it any more complicated than that people aren't going to want to answer them and make it even more difficult.
this is a more technical board. people want to talk about their equipment and technology involved in recording.
If you'r eusing a daw and cant answer basic questions about your equipment or setup, as well as simple questions like why you're using the software you are and beyond that things you like and dislike then you really dont have business recording
I'm not saying add more, I'm saying focus the questions on daw, porjects, and equipment. the type of music and all that will be talked about just naturally after that
>>53359161
I'll think about it and see what I come up with as a 2.0 version
>>53358149
Because on tape machines there's an erase head that clears the tape before it is written on. You need to find a multitrack machine that has a triple head (read, erase, record), and those tend to cost a bit more than your standard 2 tracks.
what's a good book for music theory once you're pass the stage of knowing what are those musical symbols, scales and shit.
I can't find a book that isn't between you don't know what is a scale and full blown college level beethoven studies.

yeah, that's my problem.
Everytime I ask, how do I write a novel, I already know the fucking letters.
And everytime someone send me that shitty link where they only explain the alphabet.
