That’s the fun part! It’s also why my motto is “nothing’s ever easy”

Am self-employed electrician, I see the same thing. Everyone’s so covered up that they don’t want/need the little old lady jobs - they don’t pay well, typically. I can waste a whole afternoon for them fixing ceiling fans for a couple hundred bucks, maybe, or I can do a job that’ll make 4x that in the same amount of time.

I still take those gigs, I got into this to help people, and old folks and first-time homeowners need all the help they can get. But I’m not gonna lie to you, those gigs are the first ones to get rescheduled. I’d call em beer money jobs but I don’t drink lol.

I’m trying to keep an eye out for any other stuff I can help with, too. I’m not above working outside my trade a little if it means someone’s life improves.

Happy to help! :)

Sidechain that’s the word I was trying to remember lol. It’s been a long time since I used a DAW.

Put a volume gate on the music and take the output from the Morse Code to its sidechain input. Then mute the Morse in your track. That should give you music only playing when there’s signal coming from the Morse.

Edit: this basic technique can be used to do ALL KINDS of fun stuff. You know the dubstep wobble? Send an LFO (low-frequency oscillator, it basically just defines whatever wave you want) to the low-pass envelope filter’s sidechain on your synth. What you’re doing is:

• taking the synth you want to modulate

• making a sine wave on the LFO and playing with the frequency - quarter notes, triplets, whatever. You can automate this knob in your track in most DAWs.

• telling the LFO to control a low-pass filter on the synth - everything below the filter’s set frequency gets sent through to master, everything above it gets cut off. A high-pass filter does the opposite - it allows high frequencies through.

Now you play with LFO frequency to make fun wubwubs

What software are you using?
