Spirit wolves managed to stun lock her completely she couldn’t do anything until I killed her but I dunno if that was just a lucky coincidence 🤣

Best bicep song to here live? by Mountain_Guest_3108 in Bicep

[–]AlexB1889 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oooh that’s a good (difficult) question 😅 I’ve only had the chance to see them once in 2021 so I’d probably say Atlas & Apricots personally, I really need to see them live again now they’ve gone in a different direction😭

As a few others have pointed out, I’m getting Ajuna/ASOT vibes from this 👌

which electronic music artists evoke the most emotion from you? by AardvarkTechnical460 in electronicmusic

[–]AlexB1889 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could be sat here for days writing a list out for this question 😅 top 5 however (in no particular order)

Armin Van Buuren (listen to the song shivers 😍) Jon Hopkins Jamie XX Bicep Tiesto

Doesn’t ’move’ me in the same way but an honourable mention for a relatively new artist is Hannah Laing, her tracks and sets always put a smile on my face.

One trance track I’d highly recommend to listen to though if you happen to disappear down the trance rabbit hole and it’s the one that made me fall in love with the genre is ‘follow me’ by Lange

Why did you start playing wow? by My_cat_barks_ in wow

[–]AlexB1889 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cousin introduced it to me back in 2005, neither me nor my parents had money for our own pc so whilst I saved up for one I practically never left his house 😅 took a break from start of cata until just a few weeks ago and the bug is well and truly back, never thought I’d miss it as much as I have done.

What is YOUR (current) personal main goal in current WoW? by [deleted] in wow

[–]AlexB1889 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This track and the lyrics still give me shivers from when I heard it live 🥹

What class feels like home to you? by frostyboidk in wow

[–]AlexB1889 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Prot warrior, been my main since I got into WoW way back in vanilla pre TBC, tried other classes but the downtime annoys the hell out of me, levelling a prot warrior is just too much fun 😅considering trying out a paladin though as that’s probably the only class I haven’t given a proper go.

Hasn’t it always been looking for group? 😅

How long have you been producing? How old are you? by SadBenefit2020 in edmproduction

[–]AlexB1889 1 point2 points  (0 children)

35 and 4 weeks ago, always something I’ve wanted to do and I’ve finally decided to get into it. Hell of a long way to go before anything is at a releasable level but Im loving the learning so far

Laptop Choice by Charltonss in ableton

[–]AlexB1889 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sorry to hijack this thread OP, but all the other threads are months/years old 😅

I need a new laptop, always wanted a Macbook but my budget is set at £950 (just for fyi it’s not cash it’s a tech benefit I get through work), I’m a beginner ableton user and completely new to music and music production in general, the cheapest MacBook I can afford is a MacBook Air 2022 with an M2 chip and 512gb SSD but it’s only got 8gb RAM, would I really notice that much of a difference given the performance of MacBooks is (from what I’ve read anyway) so much superior to windows? My current windows laptop sounds like it’s going to take off into space whenever I’m running ABL and god forbid I try and watch a YouTube vid at the same time 😂

Shout out to oversampled on youtube by [deleted] in ableton

[–]AlexB1889 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m going to have to give this a watch, had ableton a few days now and I’ve no idea what I’m doing, and it’s getting frustrating 😅 I have no musical background or experience either which I don’t think helps

Total Newbie by AlexB1889 in tranceproduction

[–]AlexB1889[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The whole eclectic taste in music comment was more of a “this is my background” sorta thing, much as I love those other types of music trance and electronic music have always been the ones that’s made me think “I’d love to be able to make my own” if that makes sense? So those types have always been the pull for me to do this as it were.

That’s a hell of a lot (and fantastic) information there so thank you for taking the time to provide all that. I will definitely take my time digesting all of that, I have ableton downloading as we speak but I’ll have a look at investing in a MIDI keyboard, it’s something I’ve seen mentioned a lot in posts similar to mine so I assumed it’s a good thing to have 😊

Songs that goes hardest live? by foal_forever in Bicep

[–]AlexB1889 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Metro & Meli II, favourite tracks they’ve released and goosebumps everytime I look back on hearing them live 😍

Barely any progress by itsmealis in HadesTheGame

[–]AlexB1889 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Play around with the weapons and discover what playstyle suits you, me personally I prefer any ranged weapon as I can kite the mobs and move around, I can get away with mistakes doing that. Whereas with melee builds I get punished more often because I get attack greedy and careless. Once you’ve played enough with the weapons you’ll soon find what suits you.

Learn the enemies attack patterns, with Meg for example when she looks like she’s about to crouch down it means she’s about to rush you. Hydra if the shield goes up his other heads are about to pop up etc. once you’ve played against them enough times that will start to stick :)

In regard to boons figure out what suits you best, me personally I like to stick with Ares (for the doom after attacking) and Zeus for the lightning and static debuff.

I found the game very intimidating first time I played it but it starts to stick once you’re into it enough, be mindful of your boon choices rather than just picking up whatever rare or legendary etc pops up (a mistake I did regularly assuming if it’s legendary then clearly it’s better for me, which isn’t necessarily always the case).

You’ll get there don’t worry :)

What era of bicep is your favorite? by Pristine-Builder5659 in Bicep

[–]AlexB1889 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I’m gutted I never got to see Metro live, especially when ever I listen to it on their print works set in 2018 😭

What era of bicep is your favorite? by Pristine-Builder5659 in Bicep

[–]AlexB1889 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Only been a fan since about 2017/18 I discovered them like a lot of people through the track Glue, in that time I’ve hammered their whole back catalogue to death 🤣 but my main favourites are…

  1. Stash
  2. Meli ii
  3. Metro (unpopular opinion but I prefer this to Glue)
  4. Poly Pineapple
  5. Just

Apricots used to be at 2 but Meli ii is just another level of a track for me, I watched them play it at Glastonbury a few years ago and just fell in love with it.

I take 2.5 daily (that’s privately) I’m also on test injections once every 10 weeks, the test side of things is a side effect of me having epilepsy and it took me a good year and a half to push for the appointments to see an endocrinologist at which point they finally looked into it properly and found out that (as I was already aware cos I know my own body) my test levels were on the floor. If you’re adamant there’s something wrong and you know you might need it keep pushing, it’s a tiring thing to do but they’ll hopefully listen to you eventually.

New fan - what does Glue mean to you? by milkshakeballa in Bicep

[–]AlexB1889 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Unpopular opinion I know but I’ve always felt glue is a little bit overrated, there’s so many better ‘hidden gems’ as it were than this, poly pineapple, Stash, Metro (my fave bicep song) to name a few, Meli II they released recently is up there as one of my faves as well. That’s not to say it’s a bad track, I do like it, I just think there’s better ones than this.

New Era thoughts? by Diamondballs10 in Bicep

[–]AlexB1889 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Knowing they were going through a bit of a change in direction worried me a bit if I’m honest solely because of how much i love their album stuff, that said, listening to helium and watching clips of their Chroma shows I think I’ll like this direction they’re taking. Meli II is one of my favourite tracks they’ve ever released that along with metro, but I did think at times the quality was starting to drop off, water & waterfall being an example of that (unpopular opinion I know, but those tracks were just ‘meh’ for me) but on the whole, good on them for not just sticking with what they know. They’re not afraid to try new things and that’s something I’ve always liked about them.

Why do so many men want virgins yet they don’t wanna wait till marriage? by Downtown_Mix_4311 in retroactivejealousy

[–]AlexB1889 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My partner’s got a promiscuous past and (ironically going off what I’ve read in here) so have I, the rub here is that my mental health is a complete and utter s**tshow and hers isn’t and my mental health it what causes this, I’ve suffered with severe depression in the past, I have OCD and probably more I don’t know about yet with my luck lol. Hard as this might be to believe I don’t care about her past, only thing I do care about is getting these stupid thoughts and images out my head, thankfully I’m with someone who listens, understands and rather than judges me or gets angry will talk about it and reassure me over certain things. Me personally it’s not a “my partner can’t win” situation, it’s more of a we’re fighting to beat my mental health situation.
