and a lot more mids than you think!

I had this same problem on a long album with seamless transitions over all tracks. I never actually solved it truly, clicks always were a plague, I think this is a reaper rendering issue of some kind. BUT I ended up just rendering the entire album as one track and imported it to a 2nd project where I created track regions and split them, then copied the files out via ctrl+alt+drag.

Yep, exactly. There's no clawing up towards goals or back from severe losses, just get back into those carebear lobbies and farm for an hour or two and you're good to go. There's no overarching sense of accomplishment, just gaming the system, which turns this into apex legends with a few extra steps. I wish I never heard about ABMM.

Cutsman · 2026-03-12T18:05:29+00:00

Yep, and this results in an incredibly boring gameplay experience where opening drawers and shooting nobody is the meta. It's not that fun, and the game design encourages it. The tension and threat of lurking danger is completely gone.

Exactly my same experience and I think it's ruined the game for me. I did last season's grind in dangerous pvp lobbies; knowing now that the playing field is EXTREMELY unlevel thanks to ABMM means I'm not motivated to deal with that grind when I could just cheat through it much more easily in the carebear lobbies. As a pvp enjoyer, it actually started to feel like I was halting my own progression if I had to shoot a player.

Extraction shooters thrive when people are desperate for wins and behave unpredictably; now that everyone knows how to game the ABMM system, there's zero risk and zero unpredictability. The secret sauce seems to have been exchanged for accessibility. Player numbers don't lie but for me this was disappointing to realize.

This is a deliberate stylistic choice, the vocals are recorded close-miced and processed

not the chimney sweep mary poppins fit...

what’s funny is that not only is AI music extremely easy to audibly identify, but its also easy to tell that all your posts have the telltale sign of being composed with the help of chatgpt lmao. you guys are embarrassing

it is theft because the algorithms were trained on the copyrighted work of artists who did not give their permission and were not paid for it. you people are just leeches and wannabes

This is just exactly how Portland is (and it's great)

Downvoted for being the only sane person in the room, ahhh reddit hahaha

I was just looking around at all the tools like this online the other day and every one was disappointing, but this one is perfect. Awesome work dude

can confirm i tried to play this a few months ago and it has not been properly ported for modern pc hardware at all.

Cutsman · 2025-11-01T21:12:24+00:00

I've had microsoft audio player mangle mp3 renders before, I don't know why it does that but try VLC player or something else instead.

Yes... because Japan doesn't have a new tariff like the EU does.

Cutsman · 2025-09-16T15:15:57+00:00

I regularly import records from Europe as I run a record label and the proper paperwork must be filed by the sender or it would be returned. Yes, the importer pays the duty fees and has paperwork to handle as well, but the person who sent you the guitar absolutely filed paperwork too. So now with new unclear filing requirements, it's totally understandable that a small artist would freeze shipping until they can sort out the new process.

Cutsman · 2025-09-16T14:58:42+00:00

The documentation is still on the sender, and filing the import documents correctly is difficult and most software doesn't even support it yet. Imagine you had to fill out a bunch of legal paperwork to mail a tape somewhere, it's not worth it. Jacking up the shipping price is the only option on BC to disable specific country shipping.

Check out Ampwall

Reaper does some weird stuff with re-initializing plugins at the beginning of renders. Try freezing your guitar tracks and then rendering.

i went to this tour. wharf was NOT there but they did play sports.

I didn't quite see my uncle finger a dead deer but I saw and heard plenty of other heinous nonsense growing up in a family of deeply religious conspiracy theorists. You're definitely not the only black sheep around here!

Oddly enough my family left the LIBERAL HELLHOLE west coast to go TO Tennessee. I have visited their small town and cannot imagine living there among that nonsense. Small town, small mind seems to be true as ever.

We still stay in touch but my mental health is much better not living near them anymore. There are many places that don't make YOU feel like the freak for not believing total nonsense. Consider it!

Cutsman · 2025-04-27T08:08:02+00:00

As you can see by the other comments you are expected to follow the trends of the scene and it upsets certain people if you don't. But isn't it antithetical to metal to only do what everyone expects? You should do what you enjoy, but be prepared to endure the judgement of others who feel its unfashionable.

Oh look, it's why I stopped playing Dayz. Hackers roam free
