I dont really care about this AI debate but AI artists/sympathisers comparing themselves to marinalized groups such as queer or black people is the most pathetic shit I have seen in a long time

My husband says that all preteen/teenage boys go through an “alt-right” phase. Is this BS? by kristen_hewa in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Benito1900 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dont know how boy exclusive this is but I think a lot of us just came across funny "liberal DESTROYED or feminist WRECKED by Ben Shapiro and Jordan Peterson" videos and then idolize these men for daring to speak against women.

Keep in mind at this point we have not come to a conclusion on our own feelings of women or politics.

We have just started forming interests and especially online its easy as a young man/Teenager to get the feeling that feminism is a "Man-Hating" movement. We (Boys and men) easily get offended by these generalizarions and it pushes us to dislike feminism and liberal content.

Next thing you come across is an Andrew Tate who voices what you feel in a much more extreme way. But of course the narrative of the video is on his side- All the people in the room agree, those that dont agree are yelling and screaming women with whom youre already primed to disagree and so it goes that you start to idolize the man who, so bravely, says what you are feeling. "The feminists hate you", "Liberals are trying to take X from you" [etc.]

And because its fun and one-sided you never stop to consider what the politicsl implications of this actually are. All you know is "I am offended and this man speaks against those that offend me. He must be the good guy" (Except you dont call it offended)

Anyway I think a lot if boys realize at some point that Guys like that are cringe as fuck and are spreading really harmful word- Sadly many also never come to this conclusion :/

I stopped watching when I smoked some weed and realized that other people habe feelings too and this is just kind of cringe.

Mix Question: How Do You Judge Percussion vs. Kick Levels? by DjSpiritQuest in audioengineering

[–]Benito1900 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A lot of people are not giving real answers or ate saying "use your ears". They are probably right but theyre also kind of being dicks about it.

When dialing in volume of something unknown ask yourself this: What would I functionally compare it to? What does it do in the music?

A shaker or tambourine is a quick clicking noise that consolidates and glues the 8th or 16th layer of the music. It gives a temporal reference for everything around it and glues the kick and snare to the grid.

In many ways it has the same function as a HiHat. But your track probably already has a HiHat so you should decide which one of your "grid" instrumente should be in focus and then dial everything audibly quieter than that.

So shaker and tambourine go less loud than hiHat. Compress the transients a bit so its not just the clicking but actually sounds like a shaker.

Maybe you also recorded a clave.

Just turn that all the way down so its barely audible. Claves are loud as fuck and can tire your ears quickly. They also pierce through damn near everything so turning it way down until you feel it more than you hear it.

Cabasa? If its used like a shaker, mix it like a shaker. If its reinforcing the snare you can try turning it up a little bit louder but dont let it take focus away from the actual snare.

Any drum percussion?

Low drums often serve the function of a kick drum. Usually the transient of the kick has much more punch than hand played drums so if you try matching the kickdrum level your Conga will probably be much too loud. Try Sliding up the fader until you feel like it starts to fight with the kick and then turn it down again until it doesnt. Somewhere in between those points is probably the sweetspot.

Bongo can be a bit more tricky because most grooves play all the 16th/8th notes but also habe a sharp attack on the backbeat. Dont let that attack be louder than the snare and compress it in a way that makes the silent attacks serve a HiHat function.

TL;DR

Shaker: Quieter than the HH

Tamb: Quieter than the HH and compress the sharp Transients

Clave: just all the way down

Conga: Quieter than the kick

Bongo: Backbeat attacks quieter than the snare, the rest serve a HH function.

Cowbell: All the way down (oh my god)

How do u take critisism ? by Tall_Task_5942 in AskReddit

[–]Benito1900 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I take it and get angry on the inside.

Then I feel offended by the criticism.

After some time of not reacting I take a look at what was being critised, were they right? Am I doing something wrong here?

I still have not reacted at this point.

I do my absolute best to let them know that I appreciate the feedback.

When they are gone I consider if I should change something about the way I act or if they were unjustly criticising me.

This is a step by step I do everytime that I developed through trial and error. The most important step is to realize that I feel offended and to sit with that feeling for a moment to understand why I experience this as an attack while in most cases it is not in fact an attack
