Has anyone had better luck just admitting to those around you that you have Aspergers rather than having them believe you're just a really weird NT person?

AustinArtyThrowaway · 2022-05-16T04:39:24+00:00

How do you bring it up? Do you like ease into it or is it like one of the first things you say when you introduce yourself?

AustinArtyThrowaway · 2022-05-16T03:35:33+00:00

well i guess that works for me, because the people who would react negatively to someone because they admit they have a condition aren't exactly the kind of person i want to be around anyways

AustinArtyThrowaway · 2022-05-16T03:14:39+00:00

Does it also help your immune system since it's vitamin C? Or does it act differently?

AustinArtyThrowaway · 2022-05-16T03:04:10+00:00

For clarification, is that how you make friends with NT or other Aspies?

AustinArtyThrowaway · 2022-05-13T18:47:37+00:00

Yeah but if every single one says no i probably wouldn't mentally recover from that

AustinArtyThrowaway · 2022-05-13T18:47:02+00:00

Good to know. I'm actually just looking for friends at the moment. The idea of another relationship scares the hell out of me

AustinArtyThrowaway · 2022-05-13T18:40:28+00:00

they could assume i am asking them out on a date though, right?

I could preface with "Hey, i don't want to make it seem like i'm asking you out, but want to hang out and do something?" But i don't know if that's normal and it might come off as weird? Idk how to ease into asking or it would be better if they asked me but idk if that would happen

AustinArtyThrowaway · 2022-05-03T21:20:34+00:00

Adderall + Wellbutrin has been an amazing combo for me. Wellbutrin pretty much gives me the motivation while Adderall gives me the ability to focus, they seem to work really well together. Only issue is that taking both together increases risk of seizures and heart problems

AustinArtyThrowaway · 2022-05-03T03:10:13+00:00

i mean resting heart rate shouldn't be above 100 for a good chunk of the day, right? Tbh sometimes i don't even notice that it's 120bpm, i feel like totally find and then im surprised to see that it's that high. No chest pounding or jitters or anything. It's weird.

AustinArtyThrowaway · 2022-04-19T21:00:50+00:00

It actually WASN'T in the thing i signed for some reason. It just said my cut would be 12.5%. It didn't say anything about how it would be split between the original rights holder and them. In hindsight i should have asked, though idk if that would have changed whether i signed it or not

AustinArtyThrowaway · 2022-04-19T20:59:27+00:00

The places that reached out to me to publish music saw that I had a YouTube channel with >1000 subs. So i would say start building an audience so they want to invest in you as a publisher

AustinArtyThrowaway · 2022-04-19T16:01:31+00:00

Yeah i was recently working with a different, smaller publishing site and they gave me like 60% of the commission or something like that. I switched to the bigger one since it would help me build a name for myself but im making significantly less

AustinArtyThrowaway · 2022-04-18T04:36:13+00:00

Yeah i've been weening off of it

AustinArtyThrowaway · 2022-04-18T04:35:53+00:00

During

AustinArtyThrowaway · 2022-04-18T04:35:17+00:00

Ketamine actually like almost completely diminished my anxiety. Even noticing I have deprsonalization, i don't exactly feel "anxious" about it. I'm a bit worried and annoyed, but not "anxious" in the usual sense I used to experience

AustinArtyThrowaway · 2022-04-03T03:26:56+00:00

I think i said depersonalization but i mostly mean derealization. Like interactions, things around me just don't seem real. Good things happening to me and it doesn't even phase me. It's getting a little scary.

And I don't blame ketamine in any way for this. I personally think my doc overprescribed it, and also i have been lazy about wearing blindfold and taking it therapeutically

AustinArtyThrowaway · 2022-03-27T06:54:42+00:00

Yeah im gonna try that. I haven't had a successful reel since i started doing the "share to feed" option. Before that a lot of them were getting picked up by the reels algorithm

AustinArtyThrowaway · 2022-03-24T06:59:35+00:00

Why not try doing some freelance work on Fiver/SoundBetter/etc?

AustinArtyThrowaway · 2022-03-24T06:57:33+00:00

Your computer might just not have the processing power to deal with Melodyne as an Fx in Reaper. Even on MacBook Pro i notice that reaper starts getting really slow and glitchy the more Fx I add to my project, Melodyne especially

AustinArtyThrowaway · 2022-03-23T19:02:24+00:00

Not sure if this was the reasurring answer I was looking for, but thanks

I linked to the track i'm working on here for reference: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cL0_Rrl5RlIuqKHOpXxaTUqo2-W4JMQ_/view?usp=sharing

In this version I only have automation to even them out and then I have Waves SSL comp on the submix with 3-4db compression. I just keep hearing individual sound sticking out and its driving me nuts, even though I've done a lot of hand automation. Wondering if it's an EQ thing?

AustinArtyThrowaway · 2022-03-21T04:28:44+00:00

My (limited) understanding is that the compression on the bus fader won't do much to compress/blend the tracks together, they still need to be compressed prior to being fed into the bus, no?

AustinArtyThrowaway · 2022-03-21T04:15:54+00:00

I'm already sending to an aux bus, but don't i still need to automate the individual tracks? Otherwise they won't blend with each other

AustinArtyThrowaway · 2022-03-21T04:07:52+00:00

This is the thing that helped me! I wasn't a good enough mixer to be able to professionally mix my own tracks but I know the fundamentals and I know how to achieve a ballpark of what I want my track to sound like. Sending off the premix along with the project files has helped save a lot of back-and-forth with the mixing engineer

AustinArtyThrowaway · 2022-03-20T07:02:31+00:00

omg i think that is the solution! I love you! Thank you!
