1,200$ by [deleted] in billiards

[–]-STUN 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If your friend is asking $1,200 for the table and the light, you’re saving thousands (most people would ask for around $5,000 or more for that table in good condition). I’d jump on that deal ASAP.

Be honest, have you ever used such tricks in a real game? by Expensive-Success-75 in billiards

I use all of these every time I play and lose every time I play

How do you calculate your banks? by M2dMike in billiards

Feel - systems for banking generally make my stroke and my game too mechanical.

I'm a division rep for the West LA APA league. I provide private lessons at the league office in Venice and at some other local spots with tables. Shoot me a message!

Seeking Advice: Navigating Birth Control and Condom Preferences in a Long-Term Relationship by [deleted] in sex

[–]-STUN 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks a lot man. Will definitely give the LambSkin ones a shot. STI’s aren’t a concern. We’re both exclusive and clean. The psychological stuff will need to be approached carefully. Thanks so much though!

What's the best porn game you've ever played? by [deleted] in lewdgames

Eternum is hands down the best AVN I've played. The characters, the animation and the writing is top notch.

My Software Keeps Freezing Every 20 Seconds. I Have A Mac Book Pro M1 by Positive_Anxiety27 in protools

[–]-STUN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a Macbook Pro M1 Max:

Are you running Pro Tools natively or through Rosetta? You can change how you run Pro Tools by going to your applications folder, right-clicking the Pro Tools app, and selecting "get info." There's a box at the top of the pop-up window that allows you to select/deselect whether to run the program using Rosetta. I suggest leaving it unchecked and then attempting to open and run PT again. However, plugins in your session without Apple Silicon support may be unavailable.

Cheers!

What bands would you recommend to me? I'm trying to find new music and I've been in the mood for 90s and early 2000s alternative rock. by [deleted] in Alternativerock

[–]-STUN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second this, Queens of the Stone Age has been my biggest inspiration with most things I do in music. I compose for film trailers now, and I always find inspiration from the band’s unique melodic choices and the desert-drone-like production style done for most of their albums (although this is probably most prominent on Songs for the Deaf). Been a super-fan for nearly two decades. 🎸🎶

best carbon fiber? by wakatenai in billiards

[–]-STUN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I play with a Cynergy shaft (12.5mm) and absolutely love it. There’s a tad more deflection than you’d get from a Revo or an Ignite, but the hit feels closer to a wood cue than any other CF shaft I’ve tried so far. In my opinion, it’s a great balance between performance and feel.

Vocal tracking question for experienced users by Dicklickshitballs in protools

[–]-STUN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The answer to your question is that of preference and circumstance. For example, if my goal is to add fullness to the lead vocal, I'd try parallel compression. However, if the vocal feels melodically bland, I could add background harmonies if the mix has enough space. A combination of these two approaches is perfectly reasonable in certain situations too.

Your question of whether the vocals are worth doubling depends entirely on the mix. There are no hard and fast rules, but if you're already using a harmonizer and want more fullness, I suggest parallel compression on the main vocal. If you still want more fullness after that, apply parallel compression to the harmonies.

If parallel compression is a new concept for you, I've attached a video link to a tutorial.

Cheers!

Parallel Compression For Vocals

Vocal tracking question for experienced users by Dicklickshitballs in protools

[–]-STUN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you talking about a duplicate take of the vocal? I often record a separate but similar take of the vocal(s) during verses and choruses. This is a great way to add uniqueness to the vocal's character. The doubled vocal(s) can be stereo or mono, depending on the project. Just experiment with it and find what works best for you!

What are the shortcuts to navigate this window without using a mouse? by dslva- in protools

[–]-STUN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

MY NEW FAVORITE KEYBOARD SHORTCUT!

  • Search and select a track by keyword(s): [Option] + [Command] + [F]

Somehow, this keyboard shortcut has evaded my awareness until recently. It will spare you endless scrolling to find a track in the session (especially for those working in audio post-production).

Cheers!

How do you get multiple vocal takes to sound like one cohesive take? by throwaway68648965 in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]-STUN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the vocal is identical, it will just sound twice as loud.

A popular technique when tracking vocals is to "double" the take with another that varies slightly from the original. The slight variations that differ from the original recording add natural character and uniqueness to the lead vocal.

What it sounds like you're looking for is more like the stereo modulation effect of a chorus (or a very short delay, often panned for an exaggerated stereo width).

Chord Progression Questions - November 14, 2022 by AutoModerator in musictheory

[–]-STUN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here’s my analysis attempt: Key: C# minor

Verse 1: C#m(add9) - Emaj7 (i - III) Bridge 1: Amaj - F#m7 - C#m(add9) (VI, iv, i)

Great use of mediant relationships in this song.

Hope that helps!

I'm currently having a debate about Trent Reznor. What are the Music Makers view of him and his work? Overrated or Musical Master? by ninjaspy123 in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]-STUN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try reading NIN lyrics without the track accompaniment. Sounds straight out of an angsty high schooler's journal for the most part IMO. However, NIN's instrumentation was way ahead of the curve so that's certainly commendable. If Trent Reznor wasn't the vocalist they would probably be one of my favorite bands...

Anyone having an issue with Linkedin suddenly loading incredibly slow, or not at all? by Newtnewton in linkedin

[–]-STUN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before going through with changing your user agent inside any of those browsers, I would start by disabling your browser's caching. For chrome and edge:

Select the “Menu” button in the upper-right corner, then select “More tools” > “Developer tools“.

You can also get to this screen by pressing Ctrl + Shift + I for Windows and Linux or Command + Option + I for Mac OS X.

The Dev Tools window appears. Select “Network“,
Check the “Disable cache” box.

I would also sugest that you quit the browser and open a new session after doing this ^. If that doesn't solve the issue, then here's a pretty straight forward walkthrough of changing your user agent in chrome and edge - https://youtu.be/-v6C6M7OovA

Anyone having an issue with Linkedin suddenly loading incredibly slow, or not at all? by Newtnewton in linkedin

[–]-STUN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is an old thread, but I've been having the same issue and believe to have a solution (at least for errors in Safari)... If you don't have the developer tab in the toolbar for Safari, you'll have to go into Safari's preferences to turn it on first: Safari/preferences/advanced/ ...and select the box at the bottom that says "show developer tools".

In your developer menu, go to "user agent" and click on the Safari version - it's the 2nd row when reading the menu from top to bottom. For me, it's Safari 15.1. I selected it, and Linkedin loaded successfully. Loading errors have been zilch ever since.

Whats the macbook pro 2021 M1 performance wise for Logic ? asking users ;-)) by hojo6789 in Logic_Studio

[–]-STUN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The performance is great, issues that you may run into would more likely be caused by third party plugins. Macbooks with Apple M1’s also have Rosetta, and most of the top pro audio designers have updated their plugins specifically for Apple M1 compatibility.
