  • Now that i think about it, pizza is a weird thing. It's delivered in a square box and when you open it, it's a circle and you eat it as a triangle.

    One of the COCOROBO's demo songs.
    Since, i've use Luka V4 so i can take advantage of 2 voicebanks and Voice colors (E.V.E.C).
    Luka v4 have very good response to the parameters which is a plus+
    Finally. It's very cheap at 99$ atm (full price is 199$)
    It's not sound quite ori sq 80 that i have but much easier to use and ofc, being software mean, more possibility like automate, routing, build-in fx and more sound!

    Take some break from works and internet.
    And go for a long walk trip, and i found a rare cat breed.


    Thanks for the cat owner who let me take a picture.

    "Create an illusion"

    The thing called 'transparency' - like all recorded sound - is actually a psychoacoustic illusion. What you really want is the illusion of transparency. If you actually get real transparent recordings, you won't like them.
    A lot of the hate for digital is because it's actually too transparent for our conditioned tastes.

    We've been conditioned on years of excellent music recorded with tubes, tape and transformers that distort audio and reduce the dynamic range.
    This is not strictly speaking transparent, but we love it - and it gives the illusion of being transparent.
    The extra noise and distortion add harmonics that make the music seem more real and 'transparent' than it actually is.

    The girl with the sharp thorn in her flesh
    I meet you at your story
    Behind the hatred there lies a murderous love

    Do you kill your friends, if you can fulfill your wish?
    Can you die for someone?
    They are synonymous words

    Life is a game It's a survival That's right! How do you start?
    Time and Space It' s a crossroad through a gate! Where do you go?

    You seek eternal breath
    Why do you need to live?
    We don't know when this world came into being
    We are the timeleaper

    Nothing's gonna change with you in the world
    Everything will be decided by the rules
    Oh, We are traveling the past and the future through love

    Break out!
    Let's dial back all the pains and we will be born again
    I wanna see the stars with you
    Over the miracle
    It's not a Dead END

    The boy with the loneliness in his side
    I wanna control your soul
    Behind the hatred there lies a plundering love

    The Future has been over
    But we are fixating on that
    The past is still to come
    Yes! They are in the same time

    Death is a frame It's a spiral That's all How do you think?
    God and Evil It's a scapegoat through the heart What do you know?
    "What's at the back of your mind? I can't hold your hand"
    You say "Where are you going to take me? I can't believe"
    We walk the parallel line

    Nothing's gonna change my deep love for you
    Everything will be going right for me
    Oh, we are wandering in light and darkness through eyes

    Break down! Let's revamp all the truth and we will create a fact
    I wanna feel the reality with the agony of doubt

    I love you cuz you are always by my side...

    Dead or Alive Dead or Alive
    Back to you...
    Can't you read? Can't you see?
    My words in your virtual vision
    Save my life! Save your life!
    Why do you come here? I'm such a liar
    Bad choice! Bad sign!
    It is a prologue of collapse
    I don't stop your desire, cuz I can't forget you

    Nothing's gonna change with you in the world
    Everything will be decided by the rules
    Oh, We are traveling the past and the future through love

    Break out!
    Let's dial back all the pains and we will be born again
    I wanna see the stars with you
    Over the miracle
    It's not a Dead END

    This is a song cover, I do collab between me and subscriber.

    "Dominator of Resonances pt1"

    Basic understanding

    Resonance is a phenomenon in which an acoustic system amplifies sound waves whose frequency matches one of its own natural frequencies of vibration

    The term "resonance" is sometimes used to narrow mechanical resonance to the frequency range of human hearing, but since acoustics is defined in general terms concerning vibrational waves in matter, acoustic resonance can occur at frequencies outside the range of human hearing.

    An acoustically resonant object usually has more than one resonance frequency, especially at harmonics of the strongest resonance. It will easily vibrate at those frequencies, and vibrate less strongly at other frequencies. It will "pick out" its resonance frequency from a complex excitation, such as an impulse or a wideband noise excitation. In effect, it is filtering out all frequencies other than its resonance.

    Acoustic resonance is an important consideration for instrument builders, as most acoustic instruments use resonators, such as the strings and body of a violin, the length of tube in a flute

    How do resonances sound?

    The resonances are very important in many instruments.
    Yes, they might sound ugly and painful when listening in solo, maybe remove it completely and it's sound fine. But when listen in full mix, the instrument might lost their timbre and sound very thin or sound just disappear like a magic.

    These resonance eat a lot of headroom, the fun thing is that, annoying as resonances can be once you find them, they are really hard to find from scratch.

    It is important to understand the difference between attenuating the resonances and extinguishing them completely, in many cases these resonances play an important role in the tone or timbre so they only have to be balanced at the level of the rest of the spectrum.

    Sometimes doing a little wide boost in the opposite direction helps increase transparency and reduce the side effects of the cut. As always, the objective is to reduce the outstanding noises which will allow the rest to be heard better, that is, transparency.

    *Translate from my analog notebook.

    This is not a mixing trick, but essential part of understanding.
    No picture atm sorry.

    "Dominator of Resonances pt2"

    Music in context

    Listening in context, Just like a painting picture but you look it as a whole. There are element in that picture you want to have represented across the frame as the music.

    There are instruments that you will want to have represented across the spectrum, like a warm cushion of wonder that stays in the background out of the way and sometimes shows its colors here and there. Those instruments, if recorded well, typically require only a little EQ on the resonances.and the right volume in the mix.

    In isolation it is very possible that we can easily find more than one resonance. But, after the first ones it becomes more difficult to find new ones and a doubt assails us: will they be the correct ones?

    If we pass the filter through the resonances that we already find, we can verify that no other area of the spectrum stands out so much. Are we finished? This is why we do this in context and with the track at the volume where it will end up in the mix.

    When the weight of the voices falls, our instrument will continue there, so cheerful and unpretentious, without having problems with anyone.
    However, in isolation, almost no change is heard. But in context we once again notice how intelligibility increases with the resonance cut-off. It is even possible that after finding the resonances we will not need automatic volume correction.

    Reminder who read this

    Optimizing your listening conditions and environment is a hugely important thing to do, even you are using headphone. Not all headphone are made equally (even the most expensive), know your equipment, know your room how they sound is important.

    Referencing is key and bad referencing is counter-productive.
    Problems can also arise from the acoustics of the room which might overload certain frequencies, creating resonances that aren’t in the material itself, but from the room, which results in people cutting valuable frequencies from their sounds.
    Misconception about loudness that people tend to freakout.
    Some cetain genres of music need to be CRUSH very loud in order to achieve "that sound" they want (or in order to sound right).
    Doesn't matter how low crest factor is, if music needs that sound, it was an intentional process the genre requires and music signal hasn't been damaged.
