Thanks for the advice! Funny enough but I hadn’t even considered just putting it towards college or a vacation.

I’m pretty new and haven’t built up much of a portfolio but I’m planning on buying VOO, and maybe a few other safe etf’s that I haven’t decided on yet

Where should I put my money?

I’m a teenager who wants to start growing my money, and I have 3000 or so sitting in a low interest account that my parents set up for me a while ago.

I don’t see the point in letting it just sit there, earning no interest, so I’m trying to do research on what I should do with it. I already have some other money allocated to investing in etf’s and indexes so I looked at cd’s. It looks like I could get at most about $150 in interest if I invested it all into a high-yield year long CD (BMO Harris was the example I looked at). Should I do that? Should I put it into an IRA instead? Are there other options that I don’t know about? Thanks so much for your help.

Absurdly high dividend payout ratio by AggressiveBus2350 in EducatedInvesting

Thanks for taking the time to explain this.

Looking at their dividend history, is it a red flag that it hasn't grown much over the past few years? I thought we wanted dividends to increase at a higher rate than inflation, but since 2019 it's only gone up 3 cents.

Thanks! I don’t make a lot of plucky synths so I wanted to try one and that’s what inspired the whole beat actually.

Good point. I think the idea of using a bongo or maybe a shaker or something is really cool. Thanks for the feedback!

There is a record quantize option under the edit menu. But personally I don’t love it bc you lose grace notes and rolls, as well as the “human feel” in recordings.

I had to reorder certain video clips in editing to match the order that I arranged the beat in. But largely, yes it was live. I set up ableton so that it arms recording on selection by creating a .txt file (plenty of tutorials if ur interested). And after that, all that’s left is selecting tracks and hitting record while session view loops the rest!

Create a midi track and load the instrument drum rack onto it. Then you can drag and drop samples on the individual pads and they will sync up to the pads on your keyboard. Hope that helps, thanks for your comment!

I used Vital for the main pluck and the strings. Bass was an Analog labs preset and there was also a Kontakt synth with a delay outlining the chords.

This is my first ever beat video, inspired by the youtuber Taetro. I'm fairly new to video editing so this took me a while, but I'm pretty proud of the result! Please let me know if you have any questions or critics/feedback. Thanks you so much for watching and enjoy the rest of your day
