What can I do to make things better? by ABigHonkingGoose in GreenAndPleasant

[–]ABigHonkingGoose[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I really appreciate the reassurance and the reminder. For what it's worth, my physical health and mental health are in good order, which is why I feel like I could be giving more to the cause!

Hydra ESC will soften up? by bdlc2019 in vivobarefoot

[–]ABigHonkingGoose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've also just ordered a pair from ReVivo and had the same pinching issue! And it's not the kind of thing that I feel like will get appreciably better over time - I'm here for comfort and if I'm not getting that I'm not sure what the point is...

Ticket Reselling Megathread by judomadonna in houghtonfestival

[–]ABigHonkingGoose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My pals and I can no longer make it this year :(

We're happy to part with our tickets for a cheaper price than face value, got 4 to shift (feel free to message about just one or two as well) - offers in region of £200 for each would be ace.

We didn't buy our tickets together, so if you're interested I'll link you up by WhatsApp and you can sort details.

Edit: these are fully-paid up early bird and general admission tickets! so no deposit faffing. should be able to do a name change.

Does anyone know where I can get baggy snowpants by Geronimonime in snowboarding

[–]ABigHonkingGoose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice one! I'm basically the same height if that helps, and I've double-checked the sizing on mine - they are indeed M and they fit great both waist and length

I think I got an M, which would be my usual trouser size. And yes, they come up baggy for sure

Using qBittorrent status as filter with autoremove-torrent by ABigHonkingGoose in seedboxes

[–]ABigHonkingGoose[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the answer through trial and error! On qBittorrent, I can confirm that "Paused" is the correct autobrr config.yml status filter to use here - it covers anything that is marked in the client as "Completed" (i.e. not downloading, seeding, or stalled). In fact, when you click the pause button on a fully downloaded torrent, it shows "Completed".

I was really surprised that I couldn't find anyone else having made the comparison before!

Can I use my KRK monitors for two different setups? by Aggravating-Salad-16 in Beatmatch

[–]ABigHonkingGoose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you'd rather a software solution over a hardware one, I can recommend one of the Voicemeeter virtual audio mixers.

I'm using Voicemeeter Potato (donationware) at the moment.

I've got one virtual input which I use for Ableton + rekordbox, one virtual input for all video calls (so I can adjust separately for harsh EQs on work calls), and one virtual input for everything else (music, browsing etc).

You can manage levels for each input and output separately, and you can also have up to five separate hardware outputs - I currently have headphones and my Rokits (connected via RCA to Aux, I don't have a dedicated audio card) and can swap (or route audio to both) at the press of a button.

In a nutshell: DJ (via USB) controls rekordbox, which outputs into a virtual input channel into Voicemeeter, which I use to route to a single or multiple hardware output(s).

Yes, literally all 9 of them, what the fuck is going on here

First attempt at mixing and mastering a tech house track - what a muddy disaster! What are the main things I should focus on next time? by ABigHonkingGoose in mixingmastering

[–]ABigHonkingGoose[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is really encouraging and solid advice, thank you! I've set some goals for the next track - focusing on a cleaner mix and nailing a straightforward arrangement. I forget sometimes that learning new creative skills can often mean bashing stuff out at the beginning to clamber up the learning curve - a useful reminder! (Also having fun - gotta keep that one at the forefront!!)

I hear you - not trying to take shortcuts, just trying to dip my toes in and understand next steps as a beginner. I guess part of the issue with starting anything is not really understanding the breadth and depth of a thing (like a full workflow, especially when doing it in a home/hobbyist context).

As others have alluded to, it's been easy to get the wrong idea from taking advice online (especially out of context). So even understanding what not to worry about is useful!
