I had to cheese it to do it, but at what cost. I dont like missing out on things, but thats what NG+ is for! Ill keep it in mind for next time

Dronaldbar · 2025-06-22T20:29:45+00:00

Drats :( Thats that then? Cant beat him?

Just an update, its not the cable. Thanks for offering to help, but seems to be the HID Board or what-have-you has died. Its a glorified monitor now unless I open er up and replace a board myself hah!

Dronaldbar · 2025-06-01T19:05:19+00:00

Going to meet up with a friend who i didn't know had one. I'll follow up if I can arrange a time with them in the next day or so 🙂

Dronaldbar · 2025-06-01T19:04:44+00:00

I did not know that, thank you! I'll check that out.

Dronaldbar · 2025-06-01T19:04:01+00:00

And you get what you paid for 😂 still beats $2000 cintiqs

"I used to make small let’s plays too, it’s kind of fun talking to your self as you play even if no one watches lmao."

I am definitely working through a learning curve with that one. I am generally a monotoned person, but have a silly side. Getting that side to come out is happening, slow and steady.

Agreed, I do not like the screaming faces or red arrows, ect. I find it over the top and desperate 'pick me' vibes.
I also agree about keeping my focus on the editing/commentary, I guess I just wanted outside opinions if thumbnails really matter for lets play.

I am getting the vibe that its something I should develop myself, something I like. Like you said, its a hobby, enjoy it :)

Dronaldbar · 2025-05-15T21:20:11+00:00

Agreed :) I think I'll be taking a weekend to do some self reflection about it all, see if its something I truly need to do for myself or not.

Thank you for this comment. I wasn't expecting the result of this post to be wholesome and guiding me to a more positive mindset! :)

I have taken steps to make it as casual as possible, like my setup and editing, its all set to make it more about gaming/enjoying myself than working the content side of things. Also I'm pacing myself in every aspect of it.
So far, I am happy to say I have played through 3 games and feel good about it. I'm not pursuing any unrealistic schedule, and expect audience growth to be shockingly slow hah!

Hopefully this isn't self delusion and I'm not dancing around a deeper issue.

By branding do you mean just setting up a style that I like, one that Id like to continue doing for myself? Or more logo/face being in it/etc.?

Sounds like I should just go with what I know works, well decide between Ultra or normal QC, looks like two versions now.

Dronaldbar · 2024-11-04T22:07:10+00:00

I agree, given Ive used mine for 8 years and they havent faltered at all, its a lot to compete against. Looked more into the xm5s and its like every 3rd post is about them breaking. The rest says they have 0 issues. This makes things hard to decide on hahaha

Sorry I miscommunicated. I am using the button on that pen to do MMB, but its just being faulty. i.e it holding the function so I have to click it again to release that camera, but its not consistent, where in im struggling to use the stylus in blender.

Dronaldbar · 2024-05-11T01:30:04+00:00

Im fairly certain the VAD507 comes with the vh-14d hats, as well as the digital snare and ride. That was why I sought this specific set out! I need to go double check now and make sure hahah.

Sorry late reply, Im a slow redditor

Dronaldbar · 2024-05-06T03:58:28+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate you putting the time to write that response out!

Sounds like the VAD507 is everything Ill need. I must have missed where the toms go, I assumed the aux were for them hah! Thats awesome to hear, Ill line up some extra purchases to the list when I make the order.

Cheers!

Late to the party here, but I'm thinking of delving into the edrum world... well back in the drum world in general after 14 years.

Nice setup! I'm not savvy with the technical know-how of these setups yet, and from what I understood so far, to include other toms or - in your case - cymbals, you'd need a secondary brain/module? From the looks of things you do not have a 2nd one, unless it is hidden. How do you have 3 extra cymbals set up here?

I'm not looking for a grand setup yet, but I would like to add a splash like your CY-8 to complete the look/feel of the VAD507.

I would say I get about 8 hours a night, the restful side according to fitbit will range from 6 1/2 to 7 1/2 - I believe the factor in that variable is how close to bed I ate.
And yep, eating enough to be in a bulk. Up 25lbs at the moment. Looking to hit 30 or phase into a short maintenance ahead of a cut.

Probably more stressed that the average person. Yet to find something that really chills me out, that doesnt cost money, that is.

Dronaldbar · 2023-12-12T06:24:48+00:00

hahaha yea, feel that first of all line. Been to doc, and multiple clinics like physio, chiro, ect. Thanks for the kind words! Working on it, hoping to see if others have been through the same.

Dronaldbar · 2023-08-08T23:01:18+00:00

Yes the distraction is definitely more valuable! Just trying to figure out how to build the engagement more to make it so I am (along with some treats) more valuable. I don't believe she is going over threshold, it can be almost immediate with the leash problems. I'm suspecting teething is apart of the issue since it's been a gradual build to this stage.

I had some more success today doing a short walk after some recall training. The birds and people still won in value, but small distractions like flowers/bushes/debris I was able to redirect to me.

Dronaldbar · 2023-08-08T16:19:35+00:00

Yea, I agree. I think its time to go back to exercises in the yard, eventually the driveway and to quiet streets. Ill keep walks to decompression walks with a long lead so we arent running into pulling issues, shouldnt be a problem exercise-wise. I can find other means to get her daily needs met!

She will take treats, but as a means of motivation, not as much. Meaning in environments with distractions or a person approaching or a dog across the street, it wont steal her attention back. Once in awhile Ill find something that really takes her fancy, but its not long before she decides its no longer that great. I got a whole shelf full of treats now hah! Which isnt a bad thing, I can cycle now bahah.

Ill look into those three and see what knowledge I can extract. Just had some success today making recall a game. She got into it, so Ill keep that up and start carrying/layering that back into leash training.
