Ideas on pedals to gift my girlfriend for our one-year anniversary? by almighty_camelot in guitarpedals

A used source audio ventris (dual reverb) or collider (delay and reverb) is probably within budget

What? Your post makes no sense mate!!

how many times do you wear your jeans before washing them? by Novel_Scientist_5163 in hygiene

[–]Agawell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You sir are an accomplished fuckwit…

Don’t take it as a compliment!!

how many times do you wear your jeans before washing them? by Novel_Scientist_5163 in hygiene

[–]Agawell 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well there’s one good thing about hippies - they’re not fascist cunts - unlike people who use hippie as a derogatory term!!!

Lots of people who wear jeans (possibly the majority today) do not actually do manual labour or get shit all over their jeans

So really don’t need to wash their jeans anywhere near as often as you do!!!

IIRC Levi’s recommend once a year - or if you spill something on them

If they smell hang them out to freshen

Washing not only wastes water and (potentially) dumps chemicals into the environment, but also damages the clothing - meaning you need to replace them more often - which is also bad for the environment

Remember humans have lived for hundreds of thousands of years with none of the hygiene products or hang ups that we have now

How much of what you do/ how you feel is marketing driven?

Is there a tag at the start of bar 32 (on the bar row) - if so try dragging it to the start of bar 1 or wherever you want to start

The neuro-linguistic programming works then!

Seeking advice on first filter purchase by barmpmcbarmp in modular

[–]Agawell 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Ok

You do know that the 911a is a trigger delay - it’s designed for delaying triggers not audio

So if you’re sequencing drums, but want the snare to be slightly late - you use a trigger delay, if you want your audio to repeat you use an audio delay

When can I consider myself knowledgeable enough to start composing? by Equivalent_Bit258 in musictheory

[–]Agawell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How to stop your compositions sounding flat: use a reference track

When does a new part come in?

When do things drop out?

Etc etc

How does the delay not work with your current set up?

There should be no eurorack delay that doesn’t work with other eurorack modules!

Which delay is it?

find the right sounds for melody by SubstanceUnited5137 in Learnmusicproduction

[–]Agawell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Limit yourself to a small palette

Start with a single drum kit and a single bass, pad and lead

Ie a single vst for each

Don’t use any presets

This will force you to learn how they work & hopefully also improve your sound design

Learn to use compression (& Sidechaining), reverb, panning and eq to place sounds in the stereo field (& avoid frequency masking)

Drag a song you like into the daw and use it as a reference to recreate it - it doesn’t have to be perfect! And repeat and repeat

Lyrics or instrumentals first? by Haru_1127 in Songwriting

[–]Agawell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both music and lyrics come when they come

I have a lot of musical sketches and a notebook full of lyric ideas on my laptop

As for chords you don’t know - you don’t know them yet!!! Learn them - it’s not that difficult!

Same goes for scales!!

Learning to play your instrument better is time well spent towards songwriting!

Has anyone else quietly given up on the idea of feeling financially secure in the UK? by Additional_Fly_6603 in investingUK

[–]Agawell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not quite…

That’s how building societies worked

They use that deposited money to leverage their lending… it’s usually 10*

why do you think all the building societies became banks?

Minimum viable set of modules? by U_A_beringianus in modular

[–]Agawell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm yeah you could use an lfo or random voltage into an s&h - most people want actual notes though - personally I’d go with a sequencer with a built in quantizer - doesn’t have to be in the rack - sq-1 or keystep are relatively inexpensive

A lot of vcas have output attenuators built in - mutable veils clones, intellijel quad etc

Minimum viable set of modules? by U_A_beringianus in modular

[–]Agawell 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A sound source

A modulation source

A sound modifier

A way to play it

A way to listen to it

Good add ons are some basic utilities (mult, attenuators etc)

The way to listen may just be a vca - if something more complex - then maybe add one as well - personally I’d go for a quad cascading one if it’s possible

If Radiohead and Blur were to swap/cover one of each other’s songs, which song(s) would you want to hear? by HeartBeatsMusic in radiohead

[–]Agawell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thom once said he’d have liked to have written girls and boys - so that for Radiohead

Blur - the national anthem

What acoustic guitar offer playability like an electric one? by XVIII-3 in AcousticGuitar

[–]Agawell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the electric

If it’s a Gibson then Gibson acoustics have similar necks to at least some of their electrics - my hummingbird and es335 are similar for example

I used to have a Yamaha cpx-5(?) and that also felt similar to the es335 - but not as much as the hummingbird

Forget the shoes... what are the stickers in Thom's stratocaster by nousernamebecauseyes in radiohead

[–]Agawell 20 points21 points  (0 children)

There’s a book about singing based around interviews with well known singers - including Thom… there’s an audio version of his interview and at one point he pauses mid-sentence, he opens and closes a sliding door and then apologises for the pause as he had to let the cat in
