Who's Down for a Sub bass tutorial??!?! (Using the Sidechain compressor)

I love music man, thank you for understanding. I just get too offended cause its a real human connection, regardless of whatever intent the person had in writing what they did, sometimes, not all the time I feel like giving it my all so everyone sees my heart and what im all about! :P

The whole point of my main page on my site is to be a flowing, artful raptor... lololol i really dont care im gonna obviously move on. I just felt like releasing my heart... its been kinda been a bit picky on what I say here in this forum. No offense to anyone but Alot of stuff I write its not just read and understood, and if there is a mistake in it, fix it, stop asking me if i really know! ahhahaha one love all!


I always love to help out and am always here to help out! Love you all, gonna get this uploaded reallll soon! Im still looking for my cable to upload from my vid camera.

I gotta stop getting affected from every post.. ol
 
Graphic design professionals say you should only use jpg or gif for webpages as uncompressed images take a long time to load, especially of you have like a billion of them. I know, I'm a graphic designer. It was constructive criticism in what I posted. If I were a customer, I'd stay the hell away from your website. It actually took 8 minutes to load. You really should start a bandcamp page. At least the page would function with a reasonable amount of time. I'm not trying to be an asshole. I've been giving you real-world criticism.

I have a friend who has a digital label website that actually functions (I have a few tracks on there). As it stands there is nothing you label can do for me. I have another friend who has a decently popular free net label, who would at least get my music out there. Not to mention that I really wasn't feeling your music's style.

That's it. I'm done talking about it.

I totally understand bro, it literally takes me, and many other people exact less then a second to load all pages. You honestly are only just giving criticism from your own perspective which I appreciate and respect, but is rather innacurate. Internet speed doesnt matter, Processing speed is where it matters and most if not EVERY single modern computer can and does handle my website in less then a second at most. If thats not loading on your comp, its processing issues, It is a more powerful page. And yes I know to use jpg. but im a rebel and choose to use png for its quality. Its usable. Slower, but usable. I understand bro. Well cant wait til your tunes are released then! <3

Btw my stuff does get out there. Have faith. :bone:

I have a quad core 2.6 ghz processor, 8 gb of ram, and graphics card capable of playing ultra-high end games. It's not processing power that's the problem. And what's with that sound that started playing on your site? It's like a constant grating noise. The page loaded faster this time, but that was because they must have been cached. Still, first impression is everything.

I'd lose the rainbow text, and make the background less busy. The logo is fine. In design as far as color goes, less is more.

Dude, its art, if you wish create your own label so you can do with what you want and do the art your own way how you want! Im not going to change everything to appease to one persons taste... Its just art man learn to appreciate the art for what it is not matter how hard or easy it is and just enjoy it. To me art is art, less is more applies to some things but for my project its my idea, it works. thats all man... The sounds are art, the website is art, truly bro im done bickering here about whats right and wrong and art and not and easy or hard... its art like I say again, if you dont, then its not your flavour, idk. Art can be whatever it wants there are NEVER any set rules. And im not being angry nor having an attitude, just understand a bit bro. idc if i know more then you or you know more then I, I still appreciate the art, Im contributing to it, thats it. Thats all there is to it. Its my art furthermore and my style. Less is more doesnt apply to everything. Im done on this thread until I get the video uploaded... <3 you all!

Also if I took everything out id lose all that detail I worked so hard for, the art and work is in the details, not if it annoys your eyesight and brain dude...

I appreciate your criticism brother, but now you are just telling me how you want things on my art. Makes no sense really...And im not being stubborn.. Im just being honest! this is just pointless, thats why I never ever Tell a single soul on this forum nor anywhere What they should do with their tune like ("Id change that sound or Id add this pattern, or take out that sound") . Cause its not my idea, its not up to me.

I put background noises on all the pages to interconnect and really flow and it sounds really good. I can trance out to it for hours, days, years... haha! <3

Are you saying, put a compressor on your sub and chain it to your mid bass, so when the mid bass kicks in, your sub ducks out???? Isnt that common knowledge, or am I totally missing the explanation?
 
I was letting you know. I like art. I've done many paintings and drawings in college. However, web design is something where functionality takes more importance. I thought it'd help to make your site look more professional. When you design a website to sell stuff, you design it for the customer not for yourself. If you want to ignore my advice, so be it.

@cohma, you'll see! Its not that simple haha otherwise it will be common knowledge and i wouldnt have posted it!

@likesithardware Please dont think I CANT take constructive criticism. The thing is is that if you want to criticize, A) dont call it unicorn vomit, although unicorn vomit is quite beautiful, and B ) people will NEVER always choose to go with a certain criticism, its their idea, whoever likes it likes it, whoever doesnt, well, thats ok too, its just not their style of artwork they like and prefer.

Dude whats with the "I know everything attitude so there fore you should do it the 'RIGHT' way " and btw I DID design for the customer. Dude I really dont have to follow one persons idea of what art "should" or "shouldnt" look by, no offense, and no harm intended bro but Im not even ignoring your advice, you basically just want to change my website and make it simpler... In which case you are missing the whole point of my art. Pablo Picasso was never told by people "you should change some of that part of your art, I dont like it, its too busy" nah he just did whatever the fuck he wanted. Its art. Whoever likes it likes it, if you dont, its all good bro! ALOT of people I can already tell you like my design. And takes them half a second to load the pages.


Believe me bro you did help, I do undersstand where you are coming from, but its not for this website, and im not being stubborn. For the last time, its art. It can be whatever the hell I want it to be. Its for the fan in the end. The person who loves my work, I dont treat them as a customer, because my label is not my business, its my life!

"If you want to ignore my advice, so be it."

Seriously really!? What am I supposed to do, change my artwork and my personal ideas because only ONE person maybe THREE people total would like better functionality? You make it sound as if by ignoring your advice my proffesionality just went down. That my website is NOT proffesional enough for your standards.. In art there are no standards. Cause art aint standard, its art. There is no limit.

No attitude intended from my end either bro, but understand where im coming from, its kinda lame to bicker about this all day, and you trying to force me to accept your advice in which case really is just your opinion and what you would change and what idea you would do. Which I thank you for the input but im sorry this is my artwork and I can whatever in the hell I want on it. Please dont be offended from reading this and think im angry towards you either. I dislike when people read emotion wrong from words on a screen. Yeah they have emotion but im not being rude, im just being honest with you bro.

And plus I personally want to change my main page. There is no functionality for it, I tried editing the photoshop file but I cant find it. So i created a new one where I can update it and you guys can actually make some use out of. This main original one is my artwork, I put it up because its my idea. Thats sooo much just underappreciating my artwork and all of the hard works and efforts I put into them. I have put close to 20,000+ hours into all of my work so far into this label. Thats almost every night being up 247 working on a certain
aspect.

And constructive criticism isnt callng someones work unicorn vomit. Wanna place yourself in my shoes see just how much hard work it took to make that entire site? Tunes? Sounds? Fans? Art? Mastering? its all really hard work. This is seriously my last message to you bro. Im done and no longer gonna talk about this with you. I have important things to do man. How would you like it if I came into your house and said your entire way of living sucks. Its unorganized and crappy and looks like a unicorn shit everywhere. WTF makes no sense does it? exactly, it doesnt. And it would hurt you if that was your original intended design.

Just because you dont like my sounds, art, proffesionalism and whatever else you may not like bro, doesn mean that your way is the ONLY ONE WAY OF ART. I do my art a different way, Of course I had in mind some people not liking it in my head when making it all. But idgaf I brought my entire idea out anyways regardless, i put that beautiful mind to use! :P <3 Much <3 bro

I know what it's like to have made something only to have someone say it wasn't up to par. At first I ignored them, but the I started listening. Many of them had valid points. My work ended up being so much stronger as a result. Look at pretty much any label website. What do you see? You see a clean layout with a simple but strong color scheme. Just let me say, if you care about gaining more fans, is to think of them first when designing a website.

I wasn't forcing my opinions on you. I truly wanted to help.

Well im not trying to be like everything else bro. I really do appreciate your input, respect your opinions, etc, but cmon man, In that case I should go back to the da vinci when hes making the mona lisa and tell him to add more color, that shits bland... See the difference? Of just appreciating it for what it is, Rather then wanting to change it. Yes every label site I have seen are a simple layout, beautiful artwork. But simple, easy to use, etc. Im not trying to make the easiest to use website, it really shouldnt be offputting to you as a person, you just really got to have a stronger appreciation for the art if it REALLY offputs you that much. You might as well go and tell everyone who made happy hardcore to stop making it soo happy... And you did help, and I did and always do think of my fans bro, My main fans love our website, and everything, And have no loading problem times. So I really dont see how one person who hates my layout would ever affect those who do like it. Btw dude art isnt supposed to be "Up to par" or "under par" Its art. Im done here. I really need to get to actual work. Im not ignoring you either bro. So please understand where I am coming from as well rather then continue thinking im just being stubborn and not wanting to make anythin functional or I really dont know "proffesionalism" or "art" or whatever bro. Like I said I dont come into your house saying its shit and you should change it to accomodate people more.

Alright enough of this. Im off to record these tutorials, thats soo much more helpful then bantering with one person why I do my art and continue and strive to keep my art the way it is today, and like 4 times I repeated that bro. Much Love brother!

Sorry if you got any negativity from my posts. As That is not my intention im just very very highly honest. You have to learn as an advice giver that, your Proffesional Opinion A) not everyone is going to take in as being the "right" way. and B) you have to be open to more and newer possibilities in the world of "Proffesionalism" You can be proffesional in millions of differnt ways. How come my spirits are 100% high about everything I do? Its because I actually put the effort to appreciate an artwork, no matter how hard it is to read and what not.

Bro I respect your opinion but now its like this:

You: Nah this is how to be proffesional
Me: Bro its life, you can be proffesional how you want. The regular streamlined idea of proffesionalism is the same ol thing that its been forever and its one definition one idea. I could go on all day. Our definitions of proffesionalisms may be different but one thing we have in common is the love for the soul and sound, so please lets just move on, im not gonna change my artwork, nor compress them. If I wanted to go exact by a "Proffesional" "Standard" i would have just done it right away. I wanted my website to feel like you just traveled through a fucking wormhole... LOL!! Much <3 bro!
 
@ Raptors den...how are you such an expert at the grand old age of 21? some of the things you've claimed in previous posts are things that well experienced engineers wouldn't claim.

start taking peoples constructive criticism a bit better.

stop writing essays.

take your head out of your arse.

much love bro <3
 
LOL goddd.... im over explaining this... like I said i aint no god. Im getting on with life now. And I did take his criticism. By better you mean accept what everything everyone says for their own personal good? I dont get how people assume random stuff about me. Im not a sound god, I do know what I know though. Well I learned in my own way. My heads out of my ass.

Man, im just gonna get the tutorial up. To a good number of people I look "Stubborn, Expert, Immature, Unknowledgable, Amatuer" When in reality im just a human being running a label, my artwork. None of what I responded was not being able to take his criticism any better nor worse. Im just trying to explain what art really is... Its just those 3 words. No rules, no laws.. Why would anyone place any restriction on art... ?!

Im seriously done talking about this. Im not stubborn, im no expert, im not a god, I just know what I know and I am strong about it. If there are mistakes, correct me. I do make mistakes but I try my best on these forums. Im not just a beginner to life nor music NOR labels as many take me out to be. I really care for the stuff I do an know what I am doing to my best of extents and knowledge. If you want something that fits your guys's comfort more listen to Noisia, by your ways of understanding, they are FAR more proffesional, they KNOW EVERYTHING and are basically sound gods... Thats no fair, cause even in the end, Noisia themselves have made mistakes, and are even still to this day probably learning. Im learning too... <3 I really dont see how hard it is to read a couple paragraphs chock full of information. I aint trying too hard, I aint not trying hard enough, im not being unproffesional, my art is my art. Like in the end what am I just making art for everyone else?! what ever happened to making art that you yourself are satisfied then spreading and sharing it with the world even if the entire world doesnt like it. Even if one person loved it, my art had effect at least! It was used for its intended purpous! To appreciate and enjoy/ Thats all. Im seriously done with this. I could have just ignored, idk why im wasting my time typing all day. My hand is broken and im over this "I dont take constructive criticism very well" really. Again no harm intended, just understand where im coming from. Ya'll think Im just being unproffesional and stubborn? Well thats just your judgement over a computer screen that you dont EVEN KNOW the other person on the other end. What meaning they are talking with why they say they are saying it etc.

I know i wrote too much in this thread, I could have just said. "Its art" and ignored.

The rest of what I write in other threads im more then happy to write a novel on in fact... Idc how much I write when Im giving out information about sound. Here was way too much on my part. Its my art and soul, simple. Like I said I dont go back and slap da vinci and say "COLOUR IT MORE BITCH its too bland. " Im positive he could colour it neon if he wanted and mixed the right colours, he was a very smart man. hahaahaha! You all get what i mean.

When an art is underappreciated, im not even sorry for saying this but its the end user who is underappreciating it. When it doesnt "look proffesional" in your own personal way doesnt mean its actually not "proffesional" in any other sense. Im soo sick and tired of the regular norm of "This is how you be proffesional" I know my ways, I do it for a reason, and I will never EVER change for another person. No anger intended. When I create proffesionalism every day in my own ways, I dont follow any standards of what a "proffesional" is supposed to do and be like.. Im a smart man just like you or the other person, so on so on. So lets please get past my art form and keep this thread on topic its a sub bass tutorial thread, not a "Lets all throw rotten tomatoes at Raptors Den for being soo terrible with Such TINY little mistakes on his sound, Art that doesnt appeal to you personally."
And plus you guys dont know me in person, you are really just judging and underappreciating a person who has a different purpouse then you think. Its not all about being set to the normal "standard"... in art there is NEVER a standard. Its not even that hard to go through. Its in fact really friendly and intuitive. Dont judge.

On to topic.


I will post no more about my art and what you all dont like or like and want to change personally. That is up to me! If everyone said "RAM records change your logo to this one we made for you" then wtf.. whats the poiint of a record label if they cant even do what they want to do!? We know what we are doing. Which is why we do certain things..


And plus This is a Custom Sub Bass tutorial so lets please keep it on topic.

Anyways, once I find my proper i.link chord I can hook up my camera to my computer.
 
Not once did I say, 'here use the logo I made for you'.

Enough of that.

Im sure, in fact postive that in person we would understand each other but the computer screen really screws up that fact to make that human physical connection. Internets not the best for this.

Thats just an example dont read too literally into some of the examples I say. Its for the meaning, not what you said or anything. No one said anything that compelled me to assume anyone said a certain thing lol.

Please get back to topic, I dont want this thread locked because of off topicgoing back and forth on whats both our ideas of art. If you dont like it, simple, you dont like it! I always welcome criticism...

But not directly telling my 24 hours of HARD work every single day is unicorn vomit... Too much... Too little, Too slow.. Thats your computer that loads it slow not my webpage.

Please keep this on topic. Thank you for our input, now we'll move on...! <3
