#likely a snare drum 🥁

[hangryyeena]

*really loud snare*

i made my own talent swap with Ryoma as the Ultimate Drummer! 🥁

info under the cut!

his legs and arms are already strong (or at least i assume) from playing tennis so i imagine it would help with playing the drums for long periods of time and very quickly which allows him to keep up with genres like speed metal and thrash metal without getting too winded. his drum kit is specially designed for his height, and he's played at concerts alongside whatever famous bands exist in the DR universe and made a name for himself. still chews on candy cigarettes lol

i'm not sure how his backstory or prison time would fit into his talent but something would happen to make him stop playing the drums.

-

inspirations: Lars Ulrich, the drummer from Metallica. his parents were tennis stars and he himself has played tennis before becoming a drummer and forming Metallica.

Ryoma's shirt is based on "Ride the Lightning", Metallica's second album, because the titular song is about prison execution, which i thought would fit Ryoma's death row sentence.

Mitski sings in the tone of a folksy crooner in the style of Indie Folk. All the instruments are Western. (Is this appropriation?)

Sounds a bit like a slowed down version of Kingston by Faye Webster with less snare drum. 🥁 or something by Suki Waterhouse?

Exploring iZotope Plasma: The Smart Exciter Plugin

In the world of music production, finding the right tools can make all the difference in achieving a polished sound. One of the latest entries into this space is iZotope Plasma, a dynamic saturation plugin designed to elevate your mixes. This article will explore its features, functionality, and how it stacks up against other tools in the iZotope lineup.

🎛️ What is iZotope Plasma?

iZotope Plasma is an innovative exciter plugin that enhances audio clarity and excitement in your mixes. Unlike traditional exciters that may introduce unwanted distortion, Plasma intelligently targets specific frequency ranges, allowing you to add vibrancy without compromising the integrity of your sound.

It operates similarly to the exciters found in Ozone, but with a more refined approach. This means that you can achieve a lift in certain areas of your track, such as vocals or instruments, without overwhelming the mix.

🔍 Features Overview

iZotope Plasma comes packed with features designed to enhance your production workflow. Here's a breakdown of its key functionalities:

Different Balance Types: Plasma offers various distortion types that act like tonal balance profiles, allowing you to adjust how the saturation is applied across the frequency spectrum.

Flux Saturate Control: This control determines how much saturation is applied, giving you the ability to dial up or down the excitement in your audio.

Attack and Release Settings: You can set the attack and release times to align with your track, ensuring a natural response that complements your sound.

Overdrive Control: This feature allows you to add subtle or pronounced overdrive to your audio, enhancing its character without muddying the mix.

Frequency Spectrum Metering: Plasma includes metering to visualize the frequency spectrum and understand how much gain is being added at each frequency.

✨ How Does It Work?

The magic of iZotope Plasma lies in its intelligent processing capabilities. When applied to a track, Plasma can analyze the audio and focus on specific frequency ranges, allowing it to enhance clarity and excitement without introducing harshness. This is particularly beneficial for elements like vocals, snares, and synths that need to stand out in a mix.

For instance, if you're working on a vocal track, you can set Plasma to target the mid frequencies where the vocal presence resides. By dialing in the right settings, you can make the vocals pop in the mix, drawing attention without overwhelming other instruments.

🔊 Practical Applications

iZotope Plasma is versatile and can be used across various elements in a mix. Here are some practical applications:

🎤 Vocals

When applied to vocals, Plasma can enhance presence and clarity, making them stand out in a dense mix. By adjusting the attack and release settings, you can ensure the vocal sits well in the overall track.

🥁 Drums

For drums, particularly snares, Plasma can add bite and sustain. You can experiment with overdrive settings to bring out the snare's high-end crack without adding unwanted low-end clutter.

🎹 Synths and Keys

Synths can benefit from Plasma as well, as it can help to elevate their presence in a mix. By focusing on specific frequencies, you can create a more dynamic and engaging sound.

⚖️ Comparing iZotope Plasma to Other Tools

When comparing iZotope Plasma to other plugins in the iZotope suite, such as Ozone and Neutron, it's important to note that Plasma serves a unique purpose. While Ozone is a comprehensive mastering suite and Neutron focuses on mixing assistance, Plasma is specifically designed for adding excitement and clarity.

Many users have noted that Plasma would be an excellent addition to Ozone as a module, enhancing its capabilities further. The flexibility and smart processing of Plasma make it a valuable asset for any producer looking to refine their sound.

👍 Pros and Cons

As with any plugin, iZotope Plasma has its strengths and weaknesses. Here’s a quick overview:

Pros:

Intelligent frequency targeting for enhanced clarity.

User-friendly interface with intuitive controls.

Versatile applications for various audio elements.

Can be used on individual tracks or the master bus.

Cons:

Still in beta, may have bugs or missing features.

Lacks detailed documentation at this stage.

💰 Pricing and Availability

As of now, iZotope Plasma is in pre-release phase, and pricing details have yet to be disclosed . It is now in the Store at $49, it is expected to be competitively priced within the iZotope product range. For those interested in exploring dynamic saturation, it may be worth keeping an eye on its official release.

🏁 Conclusion

iZotope Plasma presents an exciting new tool for music producers looking to enhance their mixes with intelligent saturation. Its ability to target specific frequency ranges and improve clarity makes it a valuable addition to any production toolkit. Whether you’re working on vocals, drums, or synths, Plasma has the potential to elevate your sound to new heights.

As it stands, the plugin is still in development, but its promising features suggest it will be a must-have for many producers once fully released. Keep an eye out for updates and consider incorporating Plasma into your next project for a fresh take on audio excitement.

"Born with something that indicates your fate AU" but instead of it being your soulmate's name or the way you die, you come with a leitmotif.

People with 4/4 leitmotifs are so boring. "We're versatile" like hell you are, you're danceless.

I had a 4/4 boss once and those people are a nightmare, that plodding along turned into a military march with bugles and snare drums when he was stressed, he'd get power-hungry and we all had to suffer for it.

Robert Sheehan Is A Secret Supermusician

Seeing this shot again from a post by @philodenmonstera reminded me that Rob is a musician. Like, an actual one. He may not consider himself a particularly good one, but, like Roland, he is a multi-instrumentalist. And each of his instruments requires a completely different set of skills and modes of thought.

No seriously, think about it. He plays at least one example of every major category of musical instrument there is, except the keys category. He plays stringed instruments, wind instruments, AND rhythm instruments. And let’s face it, he can prolly pick out a tune on a piano, too. (We are intentionally not mentioning the theremin for reasons.)

Wind instruments: Tin whistle, recorder, possibly the flute cuz he knows the fingering and the lip position, and of course, his own wind instrument for whistling.

Have a look at a tin whistle and how it’s played. Fuuuuuuuuuuck that’s fast.

Stringed instruments: Banjo, guitar, and ukulele. All three of which have completely different tunings, the strings are in different orders, and therefore the fingerings on the fret boards are completely different, and you have to learn all new shapes to make for chords. And in the case of playing banjo, the picking hand uses completely different motions. No pick at all on a ukulele. A thumb’ll do. So he had to relearn both hands for each new toy he got. Playing one is NOT the same as playing another. (Though, since he plays a six string guitar confidently, that means he could also play a bass and a twelve string if he felt like it.)

Rhythm instruments: The bodhrán drum, spoons, and he knows how to handle himself with drumsticks well enough to play rolls. (No bad notes on a drum!) Again, all three rhythm instruments he’s chosen are completely different to each other. Drumsticks are traditional, we know what they look like when banging away, but rolls are among the most difficult things to learn, yada yada marching band. Spoons ain’t a bit like that. They’re spoons. Frequently played on a thigh, no less. And the bodhrán is unlike anything I’ve seen except some Native Americans’ hand-held drums. And bodhrán is equally as tribal — just the indigenous Celtic version. You run your left arm through the back, rest it on your knee if you want, and then flip flop your right hand in intricate patterns with a double ended stick you hold in your fist. (I suck at it.) Check it out... You’re welcome.

You can also hear a more modern usage of the bodhrán in the soundtrack of Lowland Fell during the controversial sexytimes scene. And that movie is all about feeling your tribal roots in your blood. (X)

“I play a few other things.”

And just like Roland and his secret multi instrumentarianism, Rob never talks about any of it ever. If he’s asked, he downplays it. All of his Bios talk about him learning to play a bunch of cute little instruments as a kid for fleadh / ceilidh festivals. People ask him to play the spoons in interviews, because they think it’s adorable and completely irrelevant as an “instrument” someone “plays.” (Tell that to the Bluegrass genre.)

Lest we forget, he sings, too. So add that to the wind instrument category.

Ok, rant complete. Thank you for being the only person who read this far.

🥁 Stratovarius - 4th Reich Cover (Warning, I dislike a lot all the Polit...

🥁SUSCRIBITE! : http://goo.gl/IhqNaq Well, as you may know, here is the production of the cover of Stratovarius – 4th Reich, available for “Backing Tracks service” and karaoke, but with poor quality, what happened to me during this production? Well the next... First of all I want to express my displeasure with all politics in general, I don't care what political banner it is, for me they are all garbage, but the ones I dislike the most are the socialists, now under the false flag of human rights, gender equality and equality between social classes, which if you do not use the power of observation, they lie to you and you take it, but if you look closely, they are all millionaires, the people are poor and they are not what they say they are . Let us remember that Nazism was a socialist regime… 1. To start with problems, the score was in a uniform time of 80 rpm and the song was stuck in a huge salad of different times, so I had to put my ass in the chair and see how to record everything trying to get a time very similar to the original, that's where the magic of Pro Tools comes in so yes, my dear friends, it seems that Mr. Timo Tolkki was lazy to record with a metronome and recorded this song just as he thought. 2. I had to add Tracks and transcribe instruments that were not included in the score, all a nice work of brain ruin, especially if it is a Stratovarius 3. The electric bass was recorded only once and duplicated twice with different effects, as stated by Matías Kupiainen himself in the chat where we met, this is how he and Lauri Porra configure the bass live and on some records. 4. The keyboards, well on the keyboards, the score was divided into 2 parts, something that when recording it is out of reality, within one of the parts, it had 3 different sound banks and as you know, I am not characterized by having very fast fingers like Jens Johansson, far from it, so I had to re-edit the score and divide the keyboard into 4 parts, that is, 4 keyboard tracks. 5. Also the sheet music is wrong as far as the guitars, the harmonic guitars, the acoustic guitar and the rhythm guitar 2 are written as all one guitar, so I had to separate everything and record everything separately. They would be, 1 acoustic guitar track, 2 harmonic guitars, rhythm guitar, and solo guitar. What I am going to have to reconstitute the same rhythm guitar 2 times in order to make them twins and use them in stereo within the mix. 6. The voices are more my style, I no longer worry about imitating Timo Tolkki, for two reasons, the first is copyright, and the second is that even though it sounds similar, I'm not Tolkki. 7. In the mix, the snare drum was split into 3 parts to give it a very similar effect to the original 🥁Subscribe to my youtube channel and click the bell for more notifications!! 🥁Flavio Ontivero Mastering and Mixing Service Contact: flavio.ontivero@rocketmail.com 🥁https://www.youtube.com/user/flavioon... 🥁Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/flavio.ontivero https://www.facebook.com/FlavioOntive... 🥁Twitter: https://twitter.com/FlavioOntivero 🥁My Patreon for Custom karaokes, or got high resolution (.Wave) ones that I made! according the level of service that you choice! 🥁https://www.patreon.com/flavioontivero 🥁SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/flavio-ontivero 🥁ReverbNation: https://www.reverbnation.com/flavioon... #avidprotools  #stratovarius  #Servicio #producerlife #mixing #mastering #metal #metalmusic #metalheads #metalband #music #musica #musicvideo #musician #musically #4th #reichweite

EDM DRUMMING covers Track Waking up Champagne Drip Remix By STARSET . Champagne Drip Cover gonna take a while...stupid quick on hats and its hard to keep the speed consistent on hats and keeping the slower snare and kick pattern underneath. One of those...fuck just 1 note and its difficult to get back in. Have to lock and drive it. Prey you stray. 32nd note single stroke...unforgiving Next one.
