ALT You know the sound! Travis Scott, Lil Baby, Gunna, Migos, they all have that gorgeous reverb that splashes the track every time they say an adlib. It's actually a pretty easy sound to achieve too! Just set a long decay time & set your pre-delay to be a 16th note. We recommend syncing these two parameters to the BPM of your beat too! If your reverb doesn't have tempo locking features built-in, it's just a simple math equation away! Take 7,500 & divide it by the BPM of your song; this will give you a 32nd note. For your pre-delay - time that number by 2 to get the 16th note. For your decay time - time that number by 4 to get the 8th note. You'll notice your adlibs instantly have that awesome splash that trap adlibs have become popular for! We have lots of free tutorial videos about reverb on our YouTube channel too! Just go to SoundOracle's YouTube page & search for reverb in the "search" bar of our channel. You'll find tons of videos!

ALT When it comes to producing, engineering, or recording music the two bare necessities are a computer & an audio interface. With so many interfaces on the market, it’s hard to figure out which ones are good & which ones should be avoided. You’ll need an audio interface in order to record audio into your computer, use studio monitors with your computer, & control the overall volume of your system. Things to consider when choosing the right interface for you - Will you be recording at all with it or will you just be mixing or making beats? - How many inputs & outputs do you need? - What type of connections does your computer have? USB, USB-C, Thunderbolt, Firewire? - Do you make your music with a Mac, PC, tablet, or smartphone? - What is your budget? - Are DSP plugins important to you? - Will you need a portable rig?

ALT Learn about the classic trick that has been saving mixes for decades. In this blog we’ll talk about all the benefits of mixing in mono & why it is effective for achieving high quality mixes. Mixing in mono is a classic technique that lot’s of professional engineers swear by. Though this technique has been used countless times since the beginning of music recording and hasn’t disappeared from the mixing scene, mixing in mono has become a big discussion again in recent years due to Kendrick Lamar’s Engineer - Mixed By Ali - publicly talking about his mixing techniques in mono. Mixing in mono can be a challenge at times; however, the struggle is well worth it. This technique can really help improve your mix quality, and it may even be the missing step you need to bring your mixes to the next level. This blog talks about all the reasons why it’s so important for attaining high quality mixes.

ALT In this blog, we discuss some incredibly useful things you should know when getting involved with sync licensing. Sync licensing is when your music is purchased by a third party to be used with a visual piece. You can make pretty good money licensing your music out for sync deals! It also can help your music reach new audiences or give new life to an older piece of music.

ALT The new year is finally here & we put a lot of thought throughout 2021 into what we feel was the best software, gear, & sound banks that were available in 2021.

We broke down everything from our top computers, top headphones, & top interface, & so many more. Just click on the images below to see each list broken down!

ALT So what is a write-off & how does it work? Is it money I get back like a 9-5 job does??⁠ ⁠ Write-offs are things like services, bills, & really any legit items you need to pay for in order to properly run your business.⁠ At the end of each quarter & year, you will have to figure out how much you made for your business & how much you had to spend to run your business.⁠ Usually, you will subtract how much you spent from how much you made & you will owe a percentage of tax of the remaining amount.⁠ What the percentage is totalled is based on your state guidelines & the tax bracket you fall in. For a lot of people thought it's 15.3%.⁠

ALT A compression is a great tool, but there are a few things to consider or watch out for. 1. Attack time is too fast on bus sum. For channels like drum sums & the master, fast attack times destroy transients. 2. The gain of the input signal is too low or too loud. Adjust the gain on your original track to get better results. 3. Too much gain reduction. If you compress your track too aggressively you will squash the life out of it. 4. Your makeup gain is too loud. Too much makeup gain can cause distortion. Adjust your channel volume too. 5. The track doesn’t call for any compression. Sometimes certain tracks are better off left alone! Another compression gem is knowing when to compress versus when to automate the volume instead. Sometimes riding the channel fader is the best form of compression to use.
