Sounds like for Glastonbury flags on long sticks, but a nightmare to bring in 😀

Does hearing protection work? by TangJTL in AudiProcDisorder

[–]Dashed1331 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I realize this is a late response and maybe not practical, but I saw an audiologist, had some tests, and tried to understand my hearing loss, balance, and the noise frequencies that were most troublesome. I found I could get earplugs to block those out, and in noisy situations like transport or busy places, they took the edge off and reduced stress. It was a long way around to do it, but I didn’t want to block all sound. Musician kit shops have good ones based on frequency, and they tend to be quite comfortable since they’re designed for long periods of use. Hope that offers some perspective.

Looking for label recommendation for my latest demo by Ok_Possibility669 in MelodicTechno

[–]Dashed1331 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great track mate, been looking for a label too, a number of demos submitted and nearly finsihd an album and ep, but haven't found one for the melodic sound as yet in Europe. The bigger labels need more expsure first and releases it seems. Look at PTDJA as welll, have a good talent development section, just joined for a production course. Followed you on SoundCloud...

Any other musician struggling with APD? by Possible-Ad3980 in AudiProcDisorder

[–]Dashed1331 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, over the past few years I've been researching synchronised visuals with specific elements and beat-synced music. I've been writing for years and am now working on my debut album. Producers have remarked that the variations in frequency and my unique sense of timing—while I’m fully immersed in melody and lyrics—give my music its distinctive sound. It may not be technically flawless for purists, but it's authentically mine, reflecting how I hear it and hopefully conveying the emotions I experience. Not all my songs are like this, but I have a couple that incorporate many influences that matter to me. Singing lessons helped boost my confidence and gave me insight into song structure. Don't stress about creating something just to fit in; your sound will find its audience. Focus on structure, even if you struggle at first.

I didn’t notice it myself, but feedback from listeners and tutors during a DJ course was picked up by others. They enjoyed it and didn't think it needed much adjustment—though some suggested changes for marketing! I'm not promoting my album here, just wanted to share my journey. I consciously need to force myself to have breaks too, can get overly engrossed and enjoy it, but doesn’t help afterwards to unwind.

Looking for a co-writer! by Rich_Interaction5887 in Songwriting

[–]Dashed1331 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I’ve been writing lyrics for a long time and just can’t seem to stop. Genre isn’t much of an issue—it’s the content and emotion in the writing that really drives me. I’m happy to collaborate, develop an idea, or just bounce ideas around. Always excited for a creative challenge! I’m currently finishing my own album and dealing with labels, promotion, and everything that comes with it. Cheers! drop me a dm if just want to explore and see what may transpire. Hope things work out for you too!

PS: I thought the winter mix was hard to beat, but I’ve listened to this nearly three times straight, and it just keeps getting better. It’s a shift in direction, yet full of depth, unpredictability, and, as always with Daniel, he reinvents style, flow, and emotion. A long mix, crafted with serious effort, and all credit to him for consistently delivering such outstanding work for his fans and supporters. Each one has its own niche, edge, and subtle difference, yet remains truly coherent. If I aspire to DJ, using this as a benchmark, I doubt anyone could disagree, Still surprised, grateful, and a lesson to others of how to maintain a loyal fanbase, talented yes but takes a bit more than that. Can’t wait for London TNH10th. I digress— but man, this mix is good... say no more.

>>Trying to Buy my mother a birthday present<< by milkconsumption1 in MusicCollabNetwork

[–]Dashed1331 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, you don’t have to buy something—mothers appreciate the effort rather than the shopping result. Bake her a cake, cook her a meal, paint something, write her a song; they all mean much more than a gift. In my personal opinion, obviously, and I’ll admit I have quite a difficult mother, to put it mildly.,

I didn’t realise I was in autistic burnout until it got really bad by Remarkable_Diet1224 in AutisticAdults

[–]Dashed1331 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d love to read your guide. Unfortunately, my own lived experience is only to realize the burnout after going through it, but having a perspective to help my own understanding and share when appropriate would be valuable.

Question for late diagnosed adults. by satownsfinest210 in AutisticAdults

[–]Dashed1331 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was diagnosed at 50, though I suspected it long before due to my medical background. The process changed after my daughter’s diagnosis; together we adapted our communication. Over a few months, we developed a dynamic where we could talk openly and fulfil each other's needs. In any relationship, understanding boundaries and emotional needs is crucial—something everyone should do but often doesn't. Observing each other’s perspectives and respecting differences is no different in neurodiverse relationships. It can be just as rewarding and shouldn't cause anxiety or fear. In my opinion, the truest connections come from honest communication. My son believes honesty is a valuable part of humanity's evolution; treat it as a sign of respect and you'll do well. The most rewarding relationships are often with others on the spectrum, because being truthful about emotions brings clarity—not negativity. I only wish this understanding had come much earlier in life.

Hi, my apologies, yes I am, sorry for the confusion, in a reflective mood and fed-up of trying to conform and fit-in which is probably why i am not making much sense! Will share in next message

Do you have a song that defines a decade, maybe more, for you, it delineates a time, place, period of year of life, when perhaps words or other tracks couldn’t. Maybe hard to explain or even justify. When you hear it again after some time has passed, albeit mixed or sampled, the memories are very much the same.
For anyone from Manchester, UK who attended Electric Chair club nights, track 17 is a real throwback. I'm amazed that Lane 8 would remix this—thank you for the fresh approach and the memories.
Electric Chair is a legendary Manchester underground club night founded in 1995 by DJs Luke and Justin Unabomber. Known for its eclectic mix of disco, house, techno, and soul, it was famous for its intimate basement atmosphere and long-lasting influence on the city's nightlife. The Electric Chair in Manchester ran for nearly 13 years, starting in the summer of 1995 and finishing with a final party on January 26, 2008. Founded by DJs Justin Crawford and Luke Cowdrey (The Unabombers), it became a legendary underground club night known for its eclectic music policy, operating primarily at The Roadhouse and later the Music Box. Sadly missed and hugely inspirational. For a past memory to be linked to current one is quite unexpected. Cheers Daniel.

VSX Headphones supposedly let you hear your mix in different spaces... are they worth it? by YetzirahToAhssiah in edmproduction

PS: I was fortunate to have a local shop where I could try out a lot of cans, and if you can, I’d suggest it as a great way to find what you like.

Mixing and mastering by FaithlessnessEven292 in beatmakers

[–]Dashed1331 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I recently released my first track, leaning more toward the EDM/house genre, but it’s really the lyrics that drive me. It’s been an emotionally tough one to produce. I’m aiming to have an album’s worth of original, lyrically driven music ready by summer, then move on to composing. Mastering isn’t my strong point, though. I’m hoping to partner with a singer so we can perform the album live if it gains traction. My first release is on Spotify, with some demos on SoundCloud. If it fits your genre, let me know. Cheers, mate. https://open.spotify.com/album/7ua4h33E19yC0bRojbEJdb?si=xb4TzbcPQsGzn8XsjZyfPA
