  1. Lol you don't need a giga-powerful computer at all. I don't struggle making tunes and I only have a dual-core 3.1GHz with 4gigs of ram (that's a joke compared to the other computers these days.. it's 6 years old..) 300 gig is plenty for music. It's actually not much at all but you should be able to manage it.. you can even backup online. I do have a good DAW and a great audio interface tho.. that helps. But all you really need is an audio interface and a DAW. You already have that but your audio interface is shit for mics, especially a condenser mic.. you should take a look at the audioboxusb (presonus). edit: yeah don't expect to reproduce a John Williams tune with a big VST orchestra tho)

  2. If you make a "studio tune" and don't intent to perform it live, I don't think there's any rule... There's no limit. If you use some tricks to fulfill the idea you had, no matter what you do the results have a good chance to become interesting.

    If you compose for a live show tho, that's an other story. You must be able to play them integral or you're gonna end up looking like Dragoonfail. Why fake live when you can do less and have a better impact ? It's like Britney Spears when she "sings" live.

  3. Yeah automation you mean effect in the melody like vibrato, cut off ect ?

    By the way about the frequencies problem, what are you looking for ?

    Fizzy sound ? i got to make a substractive EQ around 800 hrz (one Note seemed to be a little more powerfull than the other, it happen a lot on the highest notes)

    Well I was more thinking about a volume automation. For instance, I made some hip-hop beat the other day and while the compression helped for sure, I fine-tuned some bass notes with a volume automation to have them sit perfectly with the whole context.

    About your EQ, well the way I do it is to first set a very narrow Q and sweep it around to find the sweetspot. You do it with a narrow EQ and sweep it around and you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. Then proceed to a cut at that frequency and enlarge the Q to its more logical extent (your ears are the judge).

  4. I uploaded an Audiosurf run of a song once and got a copyright notice over the audio.

    The only thing that happened (that I'm aware of) is that the video was tagged with the artist's name and the song title. Maybe it has ads for them running, too, though I wouldn't know with Adblock enabled.

    Did it replace your whole title or added to it ?

  5. I created a YouTube account and uploaded a few videos and a few covers. 3 songs got a copyright notice (Zelda (guitar cover) and 2 Opeth covers). I didn't compose the music but recorded 100% of it. So what happens if I accept the notice (The "x" theme is managed by X-company"... do you accept or not" ?

    It's a fucking cover, what do they want.
