We all start out as beginners. Experts are the people that never gave up.

This is similar to Reaper. Release versions are made available on the main website, and development versions are made available on a separate, bare bones, utilitarian website. Not quite the same method, but the intent and result are identical. (And just in case anyone's curious, the...

Reminds me of The Ultramind, the greatest evil genius in the history of evil geniuses. (If for some strange reason the timestamp doesn't work, skip ahead to 7:25 to see The Ultramind in action.)

Sorry, no crashes here.

It's not about slower update cycles. For example Reaper updates very frequently, but it's not haphazard. Most updates are fixes and tweaks, something that SynthV desperately needs. On the other hand, new Reaper features appear in public beta versions very early on in their development, but won't...

Alright. So the update came just as I was finishing up the video for a new Solaria release. Perfect timing! 1.7.0 still has random clicks and pops, but now with rare wacky moments that aren't clicks and pops, but are kind of muddled sounding. Solaria still has harsh plosives, but maybe that's a...

The above was the result of me discovering that someone had uploaded individual tracks of Donna Summer's "Hot Stuff" to YouTube. There's obviously some Summer/Bellotte influence, but some Moroder snuck in because I was listening to Summer/Moroder songs at the time, which is how I discovered the...

The above video features the first ever Minecraft song that I began writing, with efforts commencing sometime around January 2020. Progress went through a lot of stops and starts until I finally finished the music in 2021. The video was completed some months ago, but I delayed releasing it...

Yeah, that's an excellent point. My parent's 1980s linear-tracking turntable needs an external pre-amp. And because their new(-ish) amplifier doesn't have a phono input, they use some dongle-like preamp that dangles behind their shelf. For those unfamiliar with why this is necessary, Wikipedia...

If you're up for an adventure, try checking out some thrift stores and get something from the 1980s. Of course, you'll want to replace the drive belt because those turn to mush over time; and you'll want to buy a new needle. Both will cost some extra money and time, but if you strike lucky with...

The above song was completed back in October of 2021 in anticipation of Eleanor Forte AI. However, upon Eleanor Forte AI's release it was immediately apparent that her voice was unsuitable. So instead I waited for Solaria, and here is the final product. To be honest, I don't like the music—the...

Bonus tip: F11 toggles fullscreen mode on/off. (Reaper, not Piapro Studio...)

Reading the text in your Piapro Studio screenshot, could it be as simple as clicking the plugin checkbox in Reaper? It's checked in your first image, but when you open up Piapro Studio maybe it's getting unchecked? Also, what lIlI said: try placing it on a regular track, not the master track...

Saturation can both tame harshness and add colour to dull sounds. It's not a guaranteed fix, but it's worth a shot.

Unfortunately, I don't believe there many Reaper users on this board. And speaking for myself, I have never used Reaper with Piapro Studio so I probably won't be of any help. However, because you mention a trial voicebank, perhaps this is your first time with Vocaloid software? If so, please...

If you're after what I think you're after, Reaper comes with a JS plugin called MIDI CC LFO Generator. It should be pretty straight forward to figure out. Of course, that's only helpful if you're using Reaper...

One thing to remember is that width/stereo perception changes with frequnecy range. At low frequency, we can't really tell direction. In the mid frequencies we rely more upon left and right phase differences. But at higher frequencies we rely more upon left and right loudness differences. And at...

The reasons for leaving bass frequencies in mono are more nuanced that fatness and/or loudness. Humans can’t determine the stereo location of low-frequency information, so there’s no need to have stereo information below ~80 Hz. The frequency information in music tends to slope down toward the...

"Fattening" usually refers to saturation, which is subtle distortion. The difference between "saturation" distortion and "distortion" distortion is purely subjective, but generally once the saturation becomes obvious, it has moved into the world of distortion. Dan Worrall talks about saturation...

Sounds good! I can't wait to get my grubby little paws on Solaria!
