Follow this category by RSSMusic has been part of my life since my first experiments with Fruity Loops. Alongside making my own tracks, I'm still interested in what happens between an idea and a finished audio file.
This section covers DAWs, plugins, levels, LUFS, true peak and exporting to different formats. You will find technical explanations and calculators for things such as tempo and delay times. Use them to explore your options; the musical decisions are yours.
EDM hardware selection: connections and latency explained, bass specifications compared, and headphones, room and speakers assessed together. Three historical price examples illustrate the budget allocation and additional equipment costs.
DJ technology changed how music is carried, prepared and played. Selected milestones explain turntables, CD players, control vinyl, USB and cloud access. Practical examples show why beatgrids, connections and the equipment list still need checking.
A practical guide to synthesizers, effects and vocal tools for seven genres. Functions, free options and compatibility explained without a compulsory shopping list.
Synthetic signals reveal how atempo and rubberband change timing, attacks, tone levels and stereo similarity. The article explains corrected hit measurements, distinguishes tempo from duration and shows where the archived tests cannot support a general sound-quality claim.
FFmpeg measurements show how filter delay and target points affect attenuation and pre-ringing. An additional check corrects the measured kick lead times. The results distinguish difference energy, sample peaks and possible audibility.
Gapless playback needs correct file lengths and a player that starts the next track without pausing. Measurements show how MP3 metadata and AAC trimming affect sample counts. Extra duration, low-level audio and an audible pause are different results.
A synthetic comparison shows why equal peaks do not imply equal loudness. The article explains whole-piece and section matching, an unprocessed reference path and the limits of LRA and mono-sum spectral measurements.
An accessible vocal effect chain for FL Studio, with FFmpeg measurement examples. A high-pass before the compressor reduces the level dips caused by low pulses in this test. Compression brings sibilant and vowel levels closer together. Operation, optional steps and measurement limits are explained separately.
A resampler calculates new samples when converting 48 kHz to 44.1 kHz. The comparison explains high-frequency loss, alias tones and peaks above 0 dBFS using five FFmpeg settings. All 70 tone measurements were reproduced. The results describe the tested signals; the finished audio file still needs a peak check.
A synthetic reverb model shows how decay time, reverb energy, pre-delay and filtering distribute energy over time. The measurements were fully reproduced. The article explains why C50 alone does not prove audible clarity and why the measurement filter can add faint ringing.
