Howdy!
I've got a question that isn't explicitly music production oriented, but it seemed the most relevant. All my music is completely vocals-lacking so I've always shunned a mic, but now I'm working on a series of tutorial videos. Given the target audience is musicians, I want to get the audio right, and that includes my talking.
I was dabbling in mics and I've landed on the Rode Procaster as overall it seems to offer the best sound for my purposes and seemed to play the best with my room acoustics so far. My problem now though is that I do still get a little (tiny, maybe imperceptibly to everyone but me) echo in my recordings, and I know that is easier to clean up before it gets into the recording.
The room I'm in is an apartment bedroom (well technically it's set up as an office, but I digress) about 10'x10' in dimensions. I have desks and a bookshelf in there, but otherwise the walls are fairly bare. Given it's an apartment I can't really glue stuff to the walls.
What would be some suggestions for addressing this? Right now I'm considering either putting some foam up using some thumb tacks, or just cleaning it up in post using RX9 since I have that available too. Thoughts?
If it would help, I can cough up some recordings for reference.
Thanks in advance!
Hey there!
So I’ve had a migraine that has been going for a couple days now. Nothing entirely new, but it’s frustrating. Dark room, low noise, tried sleeping it off, taken multiple medications for it including my Ubrelvy which normally knocks it. It took the edge off, but now I’m going on day 3 with the migraine with no perceivable end in sight.
Anyone got any tips that normally helps them to knock their migraine that’s worth considering? Normally I don’t care too much as I’ve put up with them for years, but this one has me all nauseous which makes it that much more miserable.
Thanks in advance!
Edit: Sorry for not seeing the responses on this sooner. I went back to bed afterward and mostly stayed in bed and holy crap the responses blew up. I also called my neurologist and told them about it much like some of the advise that others have mentioned, and they started me on a round of prednisone to help. Fingers crossed it gets rid of it. Seems to be helping, but only time will tell. If it doesn't, I'll see about giving some of these a try. Thank you so much!

So I am an absolute sucker for that synthy stringy goodness, and a Streichfett is really sounding like it will scratch that itch for me. Before I pull the trigger on one though, is there anything else that I should consider too? I'm hoping to keep with a smaller footprint but I'm happy to consider all options.

I'm a fan of grooveboxes and other do-it-all gear. It gets me away from the computer and lets me focus on just making music, and typically there's some kind of limitation to force creativity.
Here's what I've got.
Bonus points if you've got tracks you want to share! Like I made this track on a Maschine+ and then mixed in post in Logic. https://soundcloud.com/ndguardian/dreams-of-loss
Well, guess it's time to introduce myself. I'm ndguardian, a tech guy by day, (very amateur) music producer by night and gamer the rest of the time. Based out of the midwest US. On that note, technically wouldn't I be more mideast? Definitely more on the eastern half of the US, but whatever.
I don't really have a formal music background...I was in show choir in high school, then as of a few years ago decided to get into synthesizers and grooveboxes. I don't release a ton of stuff, though technically I do have two tracks on Soundcloud. I'll link that at the end in case you care to check it out.
I like to think I have a fairly mixed taste in music, with my preferences ranging from Ozzy Osbourne to Hans Zimmer. As for my music production preferences though, I tend to steer more toward ambient and soundtrack-esque music.
Anyway, feel free to hit me up if you have questions or just want to chat.
