<p>Hi, I'm The Digital Realist and I do music...and stuff. So, I thought about making it a thing - a segment I'll want to call "The Warm Up". The Warm Up would be like a blog, vlog, or podcast audio where I'll talk about media and topics in between recording sessions to help warm up my voice to sing! </p>
<p>I recently saw the movie The Invisible Man and wanted to give my review of it while warming up for recording Lonely People. Here's the video...</p>

<p><strong>Lyrics:</strong> <br><br>It wasn't long ago</p>
<p>That we were friends. We used to kick it.</p>
<p>We use to talk about how our lives were gonna change </p>
<p>Blowing smoke. Dreaming bigger. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Gave you a chance. </p>
<p>You let me down.</p>
<p>Now, you're gone. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>It wasn't long ago </p>
<p>That we were friends. We used to kick it. </p>
<p>We use to talk about how our lives were gonna change </p>
<p>Blowing smoke. Dreaming bigger. </p>
<p>And if I knew we would never be the same</p>
<p>I would have played my cards different</p>
<p>I am not to blame.</p>
<p>Am I to blame. </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Chorus</strong>:</p>
<p>Time and time again</p>
<p>I find myself wanting to be your friend</p>
<p>But, when I'm close to you </p>
<p>All I feel is regret. [ All I feel is regret / All I feel is regret ] </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Hook:</strong></p>
<p>You broke my heart [ You broke my heart ] </p>
<p>And I know I'll never be the same. [ I'll never be the same. ] </p>
<p>I know you took advantage of my love. [ Advantage of my love ] </p>
<p>You broke my heart. [ You broke my heart. ] </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Hook:</strong></p>
<p>You broke my heart [ You broke my heart ] </p>
<p>And I know I'll never be the same. [ I'll never be the same. ] </p>
<p>I know you took advantage of my love. [ Advantage of my love ] </p>
<p>You broke my heart. [ You broke my heart. ] </p>
<p> </p>
<p>You were throwing shade.</p>
<p>Or was it my imagination?</p>
<p>The moves you was making was looking kinda lame</p>
<p>Or am I just crazy</p>
<p>I swear if I knew it was gonna be this way</p>
<p>with all the promises you made me, [ With all the promises you made me ] </p>
<p>I'd've never stayed.</p>
<p>I'd've never stayed.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Chorus</strong>: </p>
<p>Time and time again<strong> { Gave you a chance }</strong></p>
<p>I find myself wanting to be your friend </p>

<p>Back in 2015, I created a kickstarter for what I call my continuous album, <em>Digital Realist Story Mode</em>. Most new artists drop a mixtape or do a showcase for a modeling show. Me, I wanted to tell my story of how I became the Digital Realist while at the same time show how cinematic life can be through my eyes. I would be creating a music album and comic to explain it all. I thought maybe I was reaching trying to reinvent the wheel. The first person to give me a chance was Sarah Gardiner who reached out to me through DeviantArt.</p>
<p>Let me be clear, I had NO unique drawing skills and only my talent in music. Only my vision to tell my story because I had nothing else to live for. Sadly, I barely raised any more money other than Sarah's and putting in my own money from my pocket was barely a scratch on the surface. After losing touch with most of my co-creators, I was left alone and worried that my ideas would never lift off the ground. Then Encephalon appeared and after a unique conversation with him, we agreed to do as much on our own as possible. I crunched numbers, I studied how to draw more accurately. I networked. I survived. Little by little, I made progress and every time I posted a fundraiser for <em>Story Mode, </em> Sarah would be right there with the first tithe. With a clearer understanding of budgeting money, I made each dollar and cent count even if it was just to keep in communication. We've been growing up in this. I wish there were a thousand Sarah's but like the song says, I'll never find another girl like you.<br><br>Sarah has been a faithful contributor to my story since day one and has reached a donation milestone this month! So, I arranged this song for her! Also, check out her DeviantArt page link in the video description!</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">Tracey appeared to me in Latin Midi from my first EP and I'd been intrigued how her influence will develop the story ever since. Been at least a year and I like how the artwork came out. - The atmosphere of the nightclub is a prison for her and her Android counterpart; both forced to entertain against their will. I can't go into too much detail as to where it is canon to the story in the comic (unless you've joined my <a contents="Patreon&nbsp;page" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://bitly.com/digipat" target="_blank">Patreon page</a> where we discuss the story daily). </p>

<p>You're making a track and you apply the sampler or the audio clip to the mixer and it suddenly is OFFBEAT to the rest of the track or OFFBEAT to the metronome. </p>
<p>Well, consider this. In the mixer track, there's a drop-down menu that allows you to offset the timing of each mixer track individually. Why? I don't know for sure but if you're having the problem I mentioned in the title, this is where I would look. </p>
<p>But, before I get to that, let's make sure other things aren't the cause. <br> </p>
<ul> <li>Make sure on the playlist that your instruments are aligned precisely where you want them. You can use the marker/ pencil tool or the mouse wheel (ctrl+mouse) to align the patterns up exactly. </li> <li>Make sure that in the piano roll of the pattern that your instrument's input is aligned correctly either in sync with the beat or in synch with the other notes within your song. </li> <li>Lastly, make sure that in the channel settings of your instrument, the 'TIME' setting is at default or positioned to where you want the sample to be accurate for your song (Some people may automate the 'Time' settings to change the pitch or speed of the sample / instrument and that could cause unsyncopated delays)</li>
</ul>
<p>Once all that is checked and accurate then you can be sure that it's the mixer that is causing your OFFBEAT problem.</p>
<p>So, what is the fix? </p>
<p>Simple.</p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/273681/31b9f94b6b7424098d1c49fe899cb8904b90a100/original/fl-studio-latency.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>
<p>In the mixer, select the track or tracks that have the delay. Look to its mixer settings for a drop-down menu that has a clock next to it. Yep. That's it! Just click the little arrow and reset it to 'NONE' and the audio in the track should be back on the beat with the metronome. If you assigned the metronome to a track, this works to solve the same issue. </p>
<p>Sometimes, life's answers are so simple...and sometimes we doze off with the mouse in our hand while working on tracks and click things that we're not supposed to click on. I'm not saying that's what happened ...but that's what happened. </p>
