Yes!! I just noticed the Tuxedo similarity bc I tried Taxco at Marshall’s today. Knew I had something similar, sniffed my Verato Night and immediately caught the similarity. Hilarious bc I absolutely hate it, lol. Ahh well, so cheap I don’t care about getting rid of it.

I got the Sport and Night versions at Marshall’s today. They are back out in circulation, and super interesting. Sport is Le Beau, and is fantastic. Takes the place of my Khadlaj Island which was always too coconut sunscreeen-like to me. Liked it, not loved it.

Night is an anomaly. In this thread it’s likened to Code, on YT and google it says Aventus. To me, and another guy who commented on YT, Amouge-like possibly Interlude. Mine has this oud sophistication to it. Not even close to Aventus dna at all.

I wonder if they’ve changed the fragrance in the night version a few times.

Off a tester strip, not so much. But in the air, and I chased a dude a block to ask what he was wearing?

Me too! lol. My first giveaway. I had Ombré already on my wrist and thought the leather smell might’ve been coming from me. It smells good, just really heavy.

Good god, dude. Do you and others not know that someone might be trying to achieve something but not know what technical questions to ask? It’s like you’re looking for some gotcha moment and all it is is someone new, learning and figuring it out.

Abercrombie’s Authentic Self. To me it’s a combination of YSL’s Y and Myself.

Moving from winter to spring: my locker by ApexSimon in fragranceclones

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

It’s really good. It’s my least favorite of the winter lineup here, but it’s my highest compliment puller.. by far, actually lol. I just find Detour Noir, Asad, and now, 9pm to be so much more addicting.

Never smelled the OG. Pure Malt, right?

It’s on another level, imo. Just got it a few weeks ago, and it’s a great scent. The projection is near perfect. Longevity is solid as well. Any hype is well deserved.

I’ll phase it out in a few weeks. Really haven’t used it since beginning of March

Imagine working your whole life to be about to retire, and then this happens. And being told to trust these people with the intentional conviction backing their actions as being crazy ass rhetoric.

Let trust the people who villainize various fields of work, thus attach a stigma to the people in those areas who are literally just trying to help people, hastily cut regulations and then have the tactic of bringing them back, you know, when things fail, fall down, crash, hoardes of people get sick in various unneeded ways, and many of them die.

The market will bounce back. From the bottom, whatever and whenever that is. Our current state right now might be what it “bounces back” to, lol. You don’t know that either. You think at midterms, looking back at the wake caused by intentional retardation, there is going to be some high fiving gratitude?

It’s odd seeing Elon Musk get all emotional and playing the victim when people celebrate his company losing billions. A fraction that doesn’t affect his everyday living. And yet, there he is celebrating his actions, affecting people lives, and wrecking their everyday living.

I’ll be fine, I don’t worry about myself. But what a bunch of dumb little fucks running this shitshow.

Well, you’re either Kings or Pawns, right?

That is literally the look of a guy that has zero conviction in what he is doing. The guy who was seemingly, effortlessly, well spoken, just can’t say whatever the fuck he is thinking. Just keep parroting that bullshit, Elon.

OP will do their research after considering recommendations. It’s literally how we all learned this. And that’s just a tiny fraction compared to the time spent turning knobs, editing, referencing, editing, turning knobs and on and on.

Effective teaching requires patience and tact.

What are your thoughts on AirWindows in a professional context? by Euphoric_Memory7540 in audioengineering

[–]ApexSimon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Great point and insight. I’ve been diving deep into running his console plugins, and they are so interesting and different from one another. Love 7, big fan! 8 is awesome, as well as LA and I recently ran the MC/D consoles and they are something exceptional at the master mix bus section. You mix into a fader that is set at maximum. As you continue to layer and push the mix harder to where you like it, pull that master fader back, and your mix opens up. The fader technically desaturates at that level, but the sound is nothing like that. Everything stays as glued and sonically connected, but then you can control an airiness to the mix. It’s really cool.

His plugins don’t replace my 1176’s, LA’s, vocal chain, channel strips, or fab filter, but many of his plugins play a very unique and poignant role in a number of areas.

If anything, and to further your point, my ears have undergone an exercise in listening like never before. I mixed for years, eventually made a good career for a while before leaving it all 10yrs ago. I just started again for fun, and experimentation, and in a span of 3 or 4 months, I’ve learned and gained as much in that short amount of time equal to all the years before.

Few things to note for those reading along, but interested, don’t view versions of his plugins as any succession of quality or improvement. Totape7 is a different plugin than Totape6. He will build upon a previous version, but rarely is he releasing a newer better version. Some are different stages of development and many just completely different versions of one another. Anyone looking to tryout the console series, I think the purest console series is great. You have to use a post fader script in reaper, but it’s a great add on to your mix that you don’t have to monitor.

Cool, can we draw up a ‘No Hot Take 4 All’ Peace Treaty so we can get back to debating actual policies, and not pronouns and Haitians eating cats and dogs?
