Struggling composition
Hi, I’m so frustrated cause I would like to autoproduce my songs but I I’m struggling a lot on finding arrangements for them, I don’t know where to start and I’m losing myself in trying to find right instrument or sounds, but then I’m passing 1 hour to do nothing at the end. I feel I miss a right method for creating and I’m loosing the creativity. Does somebody have some advice?

references work for production as well as mastering. try loading in a song that has a flow similar to what you'd like, and then "follow along" building out your song to match its sections and whatnot. can't help you with the passage of time, but do let me know if you come up with anything;) not finding sounds is a different problem though, for that, try a sample browser. I recommend resonic pro or waves cosmos; they can help a lot.

Starting My New Journey: 2 Plugins Per Week | 8 Plugins Per Month | 96 Plugins Per Year
I finally did an inventory of all the plugins I own… and the number is around 300 🤯 But they are useless if I don’t truly know them. So I’m starting a long-term journey of studying and testing each plugin, beginning with the most important ones. My plan: - 2 plugins per week - 3 days study per plugin - at least 1 hour each day - Sunday review of both plugins That means 8 plugins per month and so 96 plugins per year. I’m committing to some understanding how each plugins shapes tone, dynamics, color, and workflow. It’s going to take time and patience. But honestly… there’s no other way. Is there? Gotta do it!

@Luiza Milenova i vote for bx_digital v3 or HG-Q if you have one of those available. otherwise the same plugin, hg-q is brainworx digital v3 with blackbox saturation. they are precision EQs that have an "auto listen" feature you'll like. tomo labs lisa has an autolisten option in it, but its not on by default. I can't think of any others that have it rn.

@Mailin Herbst the updates will work. promise. uninstall will be less problematic than you think, too. even if you were to leave a dead link, no daw would recognize it.

like open compressor tries to teach you a bit about compression, and flow tries to teach you a bit about signal chains, syntorial tries to teach you about synthesis. anyone tried it? its on a mediocre sale rn https://www.pluginboutique.com/product/66-Music-Courses/78-Video-Interactive-Courses/10674-Syntorial-2

🔥Free DAW PLUGIN MANAGER
Hey guys 👋 I just found an amazing DAW plugin manager that I've been dreaming of. What it can do: - Scan all your AU, VST, VST3, and AAX plugins - Offload unused plugins to free up system resources - Restore offloaded plugins instantly when you need them - Detect and manage UAD plugin licenses 🔥(now unusable plugins can be removed in one click) https://midifex.com/plugoff -------------------------------------------- If you need to completely delete bunch of plugins from your computer I can recommend “Audio Plugin Uninstaller” by Wide Blue Sound ($9). https://www.widebluesound.com/audio-plugin-uninstaller/ Or you can just delete files that Plugoff offloaded in a special folder.

@Alexey Gripas minus at least two stars for making me sign in with an email. minus two more for not recognizing a demo vs a licensed thing like it said it would. this graph is neat i guess.

@Alexey Gripas oh, i see, im a dummy. i suppose i shouldnt have expected magic. unfortunately, my interface is "in the shop", and the system profile wont export without a device connected, even though the licenses live on my machine. oh well, i'll try it soon. it can have those two stars back, lol

Identifying EQ problems vs Fixing problems
Working my way through Production 101, I'm on the mixing lesson to do with frequencies. Am I right in betting there's a few lessons, either coming up on this course, or in one of the other courses about not just how to fix the problem (with EQ cuts and boosts etc.) but how to identify problems in the first place? That's the area which I imagine is harder to get good at since once you can find problems, sorting them out should be simpler no?

there's the inversion trick that you'd see most of the mentors do. crank the gain on a band and play with freq and q width until you nail down an unnatural, unpleasant resonance. then flip the gain to as close to -inf as you need to cancel it out. bx v3 digital and a few others do this for you automatically when adjusting freq.
