A problem with the Aurora installer for Intel-based Macs has been fixed! Please download the new installer at #try" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">schematicsound.com/aurora/#try

I'm super excited to launch my first plugin! "Aurora" eliminates the headache of constantly bouncing clips to see what the waveform looks like in your favourite DJ software. Now you can see it in your DAW in real-time! Try it out free for 7 days - schematicsound.com/aurora

@shaneyman @virginmobilecan :( I don't understand why we even still have to wait for the carrier to enable it when supposedly it should be available directly through Google everywhere now, which they did specifically BECAUSE carriers are dragging their feet

@SchematicSound @virginmobilecan So apparently it wasn't really activated for all phones android 5.0+. That was mis information from Virgin. They just added some more samsung devices that were supported 😭 I just want chat features please

@virginmobilecan any word on when devices other then samsung will work with RCS/Advanced messaging? Getting ready to switch to other carriers who support RCS for all phones

@virginmobilecan @shaneyman Just chiming in to say chat features are unavailable for me too, on a brand new Pixel 4a purchased through Virgin activated on December 1st. Clearly opening RCS to non-Samsung devices has not gone according to plan...

@shaneyman Hi again, Shane. Sorry to hear about the difficulties on your end. Can you reach out to us in a DM with your phone number and PIN so we can take a closer look? Thank you. — KB

@knoxhardly Hey shoot me a DM and let's chat about mastering! schematicsound.com

What's a good mastering engineer/company ? Willing to pay for services of course. Professional please. #mastering #musicindustry #MusicEducation #music #record #recordlabel

@thehouseheadz Hey shoot me a DM to chat about mastering! schematicsound.com

Looking for suggestions for mastering service / engineer. I should have said for mastering Disco House / House music. Pref someone experienced with this particualr genre.

@Gerhardschiefe1 Hey shoot me a message to chat about mastering! schematicsound.com

Can't wait to introduce my next Song - All my heartblood is IN there ! For mastering ( cause I'm not a brilliant Sound engineer ) I'm still looking for one ! Any Help ??? I'd love ya and of course I'd pay 4 ! 🙏

@iamDasKapital @tkbby_music Not weird at all, objectivity is exactly why the whole point of mastering is having someone else do it!

@tkbby_music same. struggle to listen to it objectively.

I don’t like mastering my own stuff. It’s weird

@_falsehero @light_shard Depends on the music. Smoother/softer music that isn't going to made super loud in the first place can sound nice (or at least not worse) with it enabled, but loud stuff with super sharp transients almost always suffer to the point where letting it clip is the better option

@akuro_dsp @IKYGUYmusic Sorry yeah you're right, it's logarithmic so it gets halved with each bit lost. At 24/23 bits that's not a big deal (realistically most 24 bit converters are closer to 18 or at most 20 bits in terms of noisefloor anyway) but at 16/15 or less it can start becoming more of an issue

@SchematicSound @IKYGUYmusic To clarify, your export would still be 16/24/32/whatever bits, but you would only use 15/23/31/whatever-1 of those bits. So, you would halve the resolution of your export.

Normalize normalizing your tracks! If you leave 6 dB of headroom in mixes you send to a mastering engineer, you are essentially throwing away one bit of precision (-6 dB —> 1/2 amplitude —> (used waveform values = 2^bitdepth-1)).

@akuro_dsp @IKYGUYmusic You don't halve the digital precision, but you were right in your initial post you do effectively lose a full bit's worth of dynamic range, and increase the noisefloor by 6dB if it ever gets normalized after that point.

@IKYGUYmusic I guess the takeaway is that if you have -6 dB of headroom, you halve the digital precision of your track (however, this may be audibly imperceptible). Just a nerdy observation!

@iJordan340 Shoot me a message! schematicsound.com

I need a mastering engineer.. hate doing it myself for my mixes

@tydeemusic Send me a DM let's chat! schematicsound.com

I’m looking for mixing and mastering engineerssssss

@BeatmundN Potentially 4dB additional limiting required if you don't want it to just be 4dB quieter. In my opion, the 4dB of extra limiting sounds way worse than the bit of distortion from lossy conversion peaks getting clipped off.

@BeatmundN If you want to maintain a certain level, a -1 ceiling means having to squish the dynamic range by 1dB more. That in combination with a potential 3dB more limiting in some places with true-peak enabled vs regular sample-peak and -0.1 (or similar) means...
