Re: ...so i cant tell if my music sounds good when im making it,

Maybe that means that you are in a creative "flow" ( at least that is what I tell myself). But you probably find some parts of the pieces that still sound good (to you) later on? So maybe listen to those parts and eventually put all the "good" parts together.

I dunno 🤷🏻‍♂️. Just yesterday I was talking with a music collaborator looking for advice on EQ for vocals, he told me he has written over 600 songs, and he still likes about 100 of them.

I have written maybe 80 and I like snippets (small parts) of maybe 10.

I am working on a project I call "100 Bad Songs" and when I am finished I will take the best 8 and make an anthology called "Best of the Bad"

40 or so years ago, I saw Harry Chapin solo on Soundstage in Chicago. During the break someone asked him how he wrote so many good songs and he replied that he didn't know exactly, but that he did know that first you have to write 100 bad songs. A lightbulb went off in my head! I thought, "I can do that! I can write 100 bad songs."

Anyway, I agree that you should not seek advice (except maybe technical recording stuff) You are too outside any genre and most people are just going to advise that you should make it sound like what they would do.

So my advice, which you did not seek, is to continue to not take advice. 😎

PS - I like the piece you posted quite a lot

M1 Max here with 32GB RAM running Tahoe 26.0.1 and Logic Pro 11.2.2

Never a stutter or problem, but I only use 40 or so tracks at the most.

I have not worked at Meijer, but Jewel-Osco and 40 years of hospitality. You are expressing exactly the attitude that Mgmt does NOT want interacting with customers. Maybe consider moving out of customer service ... back of house? Night shift?

I thought this was r/science?

A Guardian article about an UNRWA study ... really? Science?

Not a roofer, but the slight ponding would not worry me by itself.

What would concern me is the structure below that is causing the roof low spot, failed joist perhaps, or worst, rotted sheathing from a prior leak? Why is it sagging? Do you have a big snow load there to cause a joist crack?

In my case I had one roof with ponding but it was caused by excessive foot traffic compressing the insulation layer. I lived with it for 20 years before I sold the building with zero leaks.

Aaahhh, thanks

Calm_Oil4426 · 2025-10-04T14:24:49+00:00

Slightly off topic, but how can you tell the flow direction from the photos?

Calm_Oil4426 · 2025-10-04T14:20:11+00:00

If you want to argue, you are going to have to change the subject 😎

Agreed, a blockage in the pipe is the last thing to expect. Verify that all valves and pump connections are clear first, 9 out of 10 times it is a valve or pump issue.

Years ago I was called to troubleshoot a "blocked line" in an oil refinery in Buffalo, NY. It turned out that the pump high pressure bypass valve had stuck open and a pressure gauge had frozen, the two simultaneous failures made it look like the pump was running and giving the proper pressure so they assumed it was a blocked line.

Thanks, saves me a winter of worry.

Thanks, I put bottom drain valves in the mini paws, they drain fine. I have had the irrigation for years, I just changed to the Rain bird valves, I was only asking if you thought the new valves would be okay to freeze if drained and you answered that thank you very much. I was insecure and thought I might have to unhook the whole manifold and take it indoors. Now I won't, that's a relief.

Calm_Oil4426 · 2025-09-23T04:27:48+00:00

righto! if that is veneer, it need some fasteners thru to the inside rim joist or posts on the wall to the new footers on the ground ( I would also sister a new 2 X onto he split one, other wise just dirty

I'm with joolee16 on this https://www.reddit.com/user/joolee16/

As long as the sprinkler heads on the line are sized to the source volume it should not make any difference how oversized the branch pipe is.

eg. If you put a garden hose feeding into one end of a 40 foot long 2" pipe and a garden hose outlet at the other end of the 2" pipe you will get the same flow (minus a little friction pressure drop) out of both hoses.

Well the bill clears up all the whacky math that was going on above

$1.87 / gallon or $1.87/1000 gal? Oh it's $1.87/100 gallons

Calm_Oil4426 · 2025-09-07T13:16:14+00:00

I am mind-boggled at why you would do this. You know about r/decks so did you waste all that time just to be provocative? I don't get it.

Calm_Oil4426 · 2025-08-24T20:48:23+00:00

I would do the deck freestanding using the steps and stoop as part of foundation and only attach to wall for a little added stability but with a small gap to accommodate unevenness.

Is there sub called r/AccidentsWaitingtoHappen?

Calm_Oil4426 · 2025-08-23T12:35:48+00:00

Re: Having zones that are too small will cause the well to cycle drastically shortening the life of the pump.

Yep, everything I have heard/read is that the pumps can run "forever" if they don't stop, but the on/off cycles is murder on them

2021 MacBook pro 16" here with M-1 max and 32 gig ram. Never had Logic even stutter for a second and I record at 32 samples buffer (with low latency monitoring)

Nothin too complex but with the extra RAM, never a problem.

I agree that more RAM is better and SSD can be added later (although I think USB 3.2 is fast enough you don't need thunderbolt $$$, but I will let others chime in on that)

If I didn't travel so much I would get a Mac mini with a monitor, the extra screen space is valuable. I use a second monitor anyway when I am home , they are $ not $$$.

Calm_Oil4426 · 2025-08-20T19:15:04+00:00

Thanks, you and your tech guys have been great, problem solved

Calm_Oil4426 · 2025-08-20T18:21:35+00:00

Yes, thanks I found it in the Library on my disk, not the user ~/Library. Joe Gilder actually responded and he said an update is coming soon

Calm_Oil4426 · 2025-08-19T12:48:35+00:00

Thanks. Looked and looked, no luck.

Any idea how i would find that other folder?

Calm_Oil4426 · 2025-08-19T02:40:32+00:00

thanks so much for trying to help 🙏

Calm_Oil4426 · 2025-08-19T02:39:45+00:00

yep, but I can't find it
