While listening to Deep Purple - Child in Time, I ones again noticed how much my hearing has improved over the last years.
This track used to be a wall of sound to me, but I am starting to pick out more and details.
Did you guys know, this track has a bass-line ?
I swear this was about he first time I noticed / heard it.
Even to the extent, I almost can see the pattern in LMMS.
I often think of somebody who is not with us anymore, he said on this boards, Welcome to your never ending journey in music.
Because I did not fully understood back then what he exactly mend, I still remember this.
He was so right, it is an never ending journey.
It all started with me being totally confused, about my track being out of tune.
I remember thinking, It's made on a pc, how can it be out of tune?
Slowly, I am starting to develop a relative pitch, all though there is a lot of room for improvement there still.
For over two years now hunting the answer, to a big question for me.
Why do my tracks not sound as good as the music in the charts?
To keep it short, stereo width and 50 types of echo (reverb and such), saturation, sub base lines, and panning.
Thank god for being stubborn.
Many times people told me to use a better DAW then LMMS.
Me using Cubase instead of LMMS would not make my tracks sound better.
Maybe one day, and then Cubase is because of sentimental value, a candidate, I might need a better daw.
But I am an optimist, by then LMMS will have groove quantization, and humanization, so I wont need Cubase anymore.
Until then I will be manipulating notes in the piano roll. Especially with some percussion, putting them slightly off time.
The question is how much, but after seeing a load of videos, 1/32 seems a good place to start at.
Swing feature on a 808 does something like moving notes in the piano roll, I have figured out that much.
