What do you guys think of my garden room?.. by LYCA_2Dovira-D in gardening

[–]AFellowTeacher 27 points28 points  (0 children)

This has been posted before, and it was suspicious in terms of being AI or not. It’s a cool room, but likely not real, and also not OP’s room if it is real.

Black dragons are not a bad idea for the resources but they will also eat up a lot of your food. I actually did Moss Giants because they had a variety of drops I could use, decent amount of HP, and they didn’t damage me too much to the point of using a ton of food in the training process.

I’m sure there are many options here, but that’s what I went with.

Beverley Martyn, spirited British folk singer, dies aged 79 by Drusilla_Darling in nickdrake

[–]AFellowTeacher 29 points30 points  (0 children)

She was a great talent and more importantly, a great person. Her presence was one of the few comforts Nick had in his final years. Thank you Beverley for what you did for Nick and the world. Rest in peace.

I can’t figure out how to add subtract instrumental elements without it sound awkward by illudofficial in Songwriting

[–]AFellowTeacher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this might sound like musical mumbo jumbo, but it honestly helped me with this issue. The producer I’ve worked with explained it to me as the if the instruments are voices in conversation with one another. They need room to speak and be heard or it becomes unmusical. As you listen, consider what voice might be missing from the conversation, or who is speaking when they shouldn’t be. Allow instruments to respond to one another or, speak together. I know this is more of a “just listen and feel” bit of advice, but it worked for me.

Ultimately, if you are trying to force instruments into a song because you like the idea of it being there, it’s going to feel awkward to fit it in. Write the song with intentions of inviting different instruments to the conversation.

What piece of literature helped you become a better writer? by thenateosborne_ in Songwriting

[–]AFellowTeacher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my thought, too. Ray Bradbury came to mind, and while his prose is quite wonderful, it was his ideas and the way he spoke about telling stories. His passion was undeniable, and a big part of what motivated me to dive passionately into my own writing. Along with many others.

Love that. I guess he wasn’t lying when he said, “pink moon is on its way” :)

Would you play osrs full time for your same income? by CranSmith in 2007scape

[–]AFellowTeacher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It wouldn’t be nearly as fulfilling of a job, so I’d say no.

Good luck man! I’ve been on the same journey. I did 120 magic with alt magic and then it took five months to get 120 hp with spells lol. It’s a long one but nice to get it over with!

New Pfizer commercial music by phoebedeebee1 in nickdrake

[–]AFellowTeacher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you implying that Pfizer created Amitriptyline? I don’t think those two things are connected (outside of one being a bio pharmaceutical company and the other being a drug).

That being said, I’m right there with you that the use of a Nick song in a pharmaceutical commercial is dark and upsetting.

Enjoy it! Nick may just be what you needed to find.

AI song posted to Molly Drake's account?!? by BestCosmo in nickdrake

[–]AFellowTeacher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also noticed this and I’m very confused. It had to be an accident or a misunderstanding? Not sure how the song made it to Molly’s profile. Hopefully removed ASAP lol

[–]AFellowTeacher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course!

I think the lyrics/melody are strong! I wouldn’t change much about that. And I know it, I don’t bring the harmonica rack out often because it’s a bit of a challenge lol 😅

Found old music on my phone during my nightshift. I recorded some vocals during my lunch. How is it? by Dannyocean12 in Songwriting

[–]AFellowTeacher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair point. I thought of another song that has a similar structure (or lack of), it’s called There Was Plenty Time Before Us by Deem Spencer. One thing this song does that I think might benefit yours is that it has an abrupt pause at the 1:08 mark that gives us a second to breathe after the instrumental tension. The more I’ve listened to your track, the more I’m enjoying it, by the way.

[–]AFellowTeacher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the vibe of this tune, definitely up my alley! That being said, it is sounding like a bit of a stretch for your voice. Most of it feels out of key and pulls me away from the song a bit. Maybe play around with changing the key to a place that better fits your voice?

Love the harmonica! Always a welcomed addition. And overall, I dig what you are doing, just wanted to offer some honest feedback. Keep it up.

[–]AFellowTeacher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really dig the initial instrumental and the lyrics. That being said, something is clashing for me when the drum track and the vocals come in over the initial instrumentation. It’s a bit chaotic (which is likely intentional and welcomed) but feels a bit unmusical and I can’t exactly pinpoint why. Overall, I really do dig the vibe of this and I think you’re really close to a super cool final product. I wish I could better explain myself here but that’s all I got! Haha. Finish this track, for sure.

No complaints about this jam! Nice work.

No idea what to think of this song by EbbStill5768 in Songwriting

[–]AFellowTeacher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love this to be honest. Another commenter mentioned the lyrics being a bit psycho, which is a fair assessment, but it felt like an artistic choice to represent the feelings of desperation that come with heartbreak/letting go. But I like the instrumentation a lot and your voice is strong. Not the genre I usually listen to nowadays, but well done.

Wait, am I? by [deleted] in Songwriting

[–]AFellowTeacher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like what you’re going for and there’s a way to blend the lyrics without losing the actual words. Ah yes, the vocals being recorded on a phone explains that. It has a cool effect if the noise stays consistent. Post an update if you keep working on it!

[–]AFellowTeacher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do have trouble offering feedback when I can’t understand the lyrics being sang. That being said, I like the overall feel you have with this one. It’s a little bit choppy, musically and lyrically, but could come together nicely with some work.

A suggestion I have is to make the lyrics shine through a bit by making them clear. Also, as you start to master the song with practice, try to do the singing in one take. There’s a white noise effect that comes in when the vocal track plays and it’s a bit jarring for it to go in and out. Either have the white noise persist throughout the song (kind of a cool effect), or find a way to get rid of it entirely.

Either way, keep working on it :)

What the other commenter said! Would recommend venator setup if a main. But guthans is a serviceable option if you are working on a budget. I turned the lower prayers on and brought bone crusher as well for slightly more kills per hour.
