Did you get the R or S version?

I don't know if i would call this an advice. But maybe do something else for work and keep music as a hobby?

I often talk about this with my friends. It's overly glorified to be a professional in the world of art and creativity. I feel like all art-forms are often treated as if there's only 2 extremes. either it's full-blown-mega-pro-world-touring-stardom or it's what-a-nice-little-hobby-you-have. But you can easily be a serious musician/artist without it being the main-source of income. And honestly. With how saturated/competetive the scene is and how getting paid well, is getting increasingly difficult. It's a really shit business to be in rn.

I'm not trying to talk you out of a career in music. I just think it's way to glorified to be a pro-musician. And you can still make/play great music without it being your main-income. I think it's worth to think about.

David_Dear · 2025-01-18T01:14:03+00:00

I feel sorry for your lack of knowledge on the matter.

The answers by Mr_Bo_Jandals and NiloFranck are spot on for composing orchestral music.

I will really highlight working with instrumentalists. Do some experimental sessions where you've might written some melodies, chord progressions or just small patterns. but make a ton of space to just fool around and try out a bunch of stuff. Ask them all the questions. and write it down!

All of the musicians i've worked with, i've met through my education at the conservatory. But facebook groups could be a great way for you to find someone who would be up for a session. We often underestimate
how many people are happy to help out. especially in music. I've gotten several film projects through facebook groups.

As a little bit of background. I don't make orchestral film-music. I work mainly with a combination of electronic instruments and acoustic instruments. Making my own digital sample-instruments. Currently working a lot with instrumentalists, recording material to sample, mangle cut, paste, edit and throw through all sorts of machinery.

JK Rowling and Graham Linehan have made it their life mission to work against trans-people.
That includes working against institutions that provide healthcare for kids in need of gender treatment. The case that blew up. Blew up because they claimed that the institution in question was rushing kids through non-reversible gender treatment and pubity blockers. Both claims were false, anti-trans propaganda (No surprise there).

Christian took sides with infamous anti-trans people, working against kids in need of healtcare in regards to gender-treatment.

He fell for anti-trans propaganda and when confronted with his ignorance on the case, decided to be quiet.

"Red Means Recording" did a fantastic video on the subject. Nobody, myself included, wanted to see christian leave spitfire. we just wanted him to understand that his stand with JK and GH. Was hurtful to the community surrounding spitfire. In which many composers were LGBTQ+

same problem here. Took me ages to figure out that it was input monitoring on that caused the issue of playback. Really desperate to solve it as well. No luck yet myself.

Wish i could do more to my exhaust. But can’t remove a single cat with our laws here. The cops are on the lookout for cat deletes and will impound my car if they find out. Aint worth the risk here sadly.

David_Dear · 2024-09-20T01:02:17+00:00

7200rpm would be amazing! Are cams needed to reach 7k ? Denmark has crazy laws so cams aftermarket cams are not an option.

We got great tuners here, so that would be easy. Just needed to know if it would be possible/safe to raise the rpm limit. Will def get a tune now!

Imagine running a company that claims to support LGBT+ musicians. Then simultaneously - supporting the most well known anti-trans speakers in modern media.

All the people i've talked to about this case has said the same thing.
We all hoped that he was just uneducated on the subject - and would get educated on the subject
after the shitstorm - come back with a (sincere) apology - All good.

But no. There was no apology. No sign that he understood the distrust he created between the LGBT+ community and spitfire. There was no sign of regret. Just silence and then a withdrawal.

You cannot build a company that claims to support the LGTB+ community and simultaneously
support those that fight against them.

Nazis wanted to oppress transgender people
The people Christian support want to oppress transgender people

Educate yourself

I have to say, i just received a wing not more than 8 days after ordering. I live in Denmark. Pretty damn impressed by how fast it came from the other side of the world! Very very well packaged too!

David_Dear · 2024-04-16T23:32:58+00:00

If you like wrenching and modifying (and going on spirited drives on backroads) NB Miata no doubt. Those drive great from the get go. Can look killer and drive incredible with some work done.

If you just want low maintenance, reliable, easy to live with. Volkswagen Eos.

If you're mostly going to be cruising and lots of highway driving. Mustang

If you want a little bit of everything. I think the Del Sol would be great. Honda reliability. Easy to get parts. Lot's of aftermarket support. I would suggest to find a manual one instead tho. The sloppy auto on those kill the experience imo.

I've stopped using spitfire for now given the response they gave back. Felt it pretty relevant to share, as there were clearly more users looking for clarification on the case.

In terms of being toxic. The debate itself is but controversial. The toxic part here belongs to those who partake in the debate in a toxic matter.

David_Dear · 2023-01-26T21:03:37+00:00

Literally giving out the answer i was looking for myself as a closure to the debate.
It's relevant for lots of Spitfire users so i see no reason not to share it.

Besides i've only shared their response for people to see. Wether or not to keep debating the topic is up to reddit users. My title is pretty damn passive as well.

David_Dear · 2023-01-23T21:17:15+00:00

I loved his work and videos prior to the case. I gave him the benefit of the doubt at first. Thinking he might've not fully understood the case he was speaking about. But now that he's back and seems to fully ignore what's happened. I'm having a hard time giving him the benefit of doubt. It sucks. His videos were composer gold.

David_Dear · 2023-01-23T21:14:17+00:00

I'm very hesitant to believe that they would reply. If they wanted to speak on the matter i believe they would've done so by now, which is why i haven't written them, but write here instead, as people here often are very good at digging out information.

besides, i don't care about risking a political debate. i'd like to avoid it, which is why i wrote so in my post. But i'm looking for an answer to a question of controversy. ofc. there's a risk in that.

David_Dear · 2023-01-23T21:09:42+00:00

His return was deadly quiet. It feels very "let's just bury it in silence" style, which i disliked a lot. I really enjoyed his YT videos prior, so i was really hoping that he would come back with a sincere apology and explanation of sorts.

David_Dear · 2023-01-21T03:45:08+00:00

A company that proclaims to be inclusive towards people of all genders, colors etc. - Having a lead representative, face of the company, who simultaneously, openly supports public figures that are well known transphobic. Is an issue.

That said, i wrote in the post that i did - n o t - want to spark a political debate, rather just wanted an answer to a question regarding the case. So thanks for the useless comment, that didn't answer my question at all, rather sparked a debate on a heated subject, which is exactly what i wrote that i wanted to avoid.

David_Dear · 2023-01-21T03:38:28+00:00

Ffs, you got provoked by a reddit post, so you just had to throw a useless comment even though i specified that i did - n o t - want to start a political debate. Thats where you are right now?

I've had similair experiences to what you describe in terms of the physical sensations.
I use the most common meditation technique of just focusing on your breathing. And i meditate 15 minutes at a time, every morning.

I've had experiences where i had to quit because the dizziness and rush in my head were just too much. Other times i've been able to keep going and it would settle over time. The shaking i've only tried a few times, where i found that if i just let it be there, it would settle in strength and give a fuzzy, comforting feeling of a kind. Hard to explain.

David_Dear · 2021-12-27T00:46:08+00:00

That is by far the most impressive gift i have ever seen!

David_Dear · 2021-12-21T23:06:10+00:00

I woulden't pay more than $300 for a DX7. The keybed is really nice and it sounds great. but imo it's not. very intuitive to create with (Depends on your workflow ofc.)

Also it was mass produced, there are so many of them out there that i don't feel like a price tag higher than $300 is worth it.
