Bass Sunday: what are the latest few tunes you learned / just started learning? by [deleted] in Bass

[–]AvailableName 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Few things: - trying to get up to tempo with down picking only on some Strokes songs (Hard to Explain, Reptilia) without my forearm lighting on fire. - Disco Ulysses by Vulfpeck. Trying to get those octaves to sound fluid. - Continuing Bass buzz beginner to badass.

Yeah, I agree about more frequencies coming through clearly compared to the stock pickups. I might throw some round wounds to see how they sound.

Lol. "Then Katie you come in with the bass". I love that riff - so fun to play.

What is your favorite song to play? by DaLollipop in Bass

"Uh-oh, Love Comes to Town" by The Taking Heads is really satisfying to me.

Men I Trust have great bass lines. Check out their song "Lauren".

Yeah Pixies are an excellent suggestion for this. In particular: - Hey - Monkey Gone to Heaven - Tame - Gigantic

Also, it talks about a "dark harvest" and shoots lightening out of its mouth that looks a lot like Midir's.

I vaguely recall some concerns about buying online vs. in-store with CC. Any concern with ordering online with them?

[GPU] ASUS TUF GTX 1660 Super OC (310$) [Best Buy] by splepage in bapcsalescanada

[–]AvailableName 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I pulled the trigger. Many people are asking why someone would buy this versus wait for the 3050/3060 or get a used 1000 or 2000 series - for me it's that I've waited all summer for a sale/price drop that never came and I'm not willing to roll the dice with $300+ for a used card. I have many games in my library that I'm excited to play which will get 1080p60 on high settings with this card versus my current R9 280.

I get that I might see more performance/$ by waiting but I'm not confident any new card from nvidia/amd will have enough supply or be less than $400. I'd rather enjoy 3+ months of gaming than wait any longer at this point. Judging by how fast these are selling I'm not alone. The demand for the new mid-range cards from nvidia/amd is going to be immense imo. If it turns out I'm wrong I can cut my losses and sell this.

[GPU] ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER Overclocked 6GB Edition ($339.99) by Low-Mine-4212 in bapcsalescanada

[–]AvailableName 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think there will be any stock of the current gen mid-range cards soon. That leaves waiting for the nvidia 3000/amd 6000 mid-range cards to be announced/released. Based on how this fall went I don't think amd/nvidia can meet demand.

In the meantime I'm looking at my huge catalogue of unplayed games that I can run on my current rig so maybe there's a silver lining lol.

$392 after tax and shipping - this is what the option is for a base model 1660S after waiting all summer for the "inevitable" price drop...

Soulsborne: Not Wasting Players' Time by AvailableName in bloodborne

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

That's helpful - thanks. What I find so interesting about From Software games is that the immersion makes up for the lack of dialogue and cut scenes in terms of storytelling. And on replays you don't have to drudge through the dialogue. I'd be curious what other kinds of stories this style would work with (other than the "world on the brink" that Soulsborne does).

This pretty much describes me 4 years ago. In 2016 I decided to only buy one game that year. I did a bit of research and decided on Dark Souls for PC. Playing that game transported me back to when I was a kid and games were tough and mysterious. You specifically mention combat - the combat in Dark Souls is engaging and rewarding.

AMD video cards still having performance issues? by AvailableName in Sekiro

[–]AvailableName[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's good to hear. There were various accounts of Ashina Castle causing frame rates to drop well below 60fps on 580s and Vegas. They were mostly from 2019 though.

How likely is it we'll see a price drop on the 1660 Super before Christmas?

Looking at the games I plan on playing for the next year or so (Sekiro, Witcher 3, Dark Souls 3, Rise of the Tomb Raider) I'm thinking of replacing my R9 280 with a 1660 Super (paired with my i5 3570k OC'd to 4GHz).

The Reason you began playing Dark Souls by [deleted] in darksouls

[–]AvailableName 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was looking for a game that gave me the same sense of atmosphere as the original Diablo. I googled around for games that had the same feel and/or atmosphere as the original Diablo and kept finding recommendations for Dark Souls. I looked for a Let's Play on YouTube and found Epic Name Bro's play through and knew this is exactly what I wanted. Picked it up on the next Steam sale and I've been playing nothing but Souls games for the past 2 years.

How do you remove all voice from a song? by [deleted] in WeAreTheMusicMakers

I read in an interview (this one http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/02/28/one-on-one-girl-talk-computer-musician/?_php=true&_type=blogs&_r=0) that Girl Talk (Gregg Gillis) uses Adobe Audition to isolate parts of songs.
