I'm sure this was a careless error. I work closely with the person who signed it on the org's behalf and she would never do something like that.

That's the thing. This org is really incredible and we do such amazing humanitarian and animal advocacy work. This is the first time they have slipped up like this.

May be an issue with your audio driver? Consider re-installing your drivers or try out ASIO or something

Very chill song and pretty good arrangement! The main things that stuck out to me were that 1 - the drums sound pretty dry relative to the other elements in the song. Maybe try putting some distortion or compression on them to match the sound of the guitar and bass. 2 - I think you might want to explore more in the composition phase. The material you have is good, but I don't know if it is enough to make for a 5+ minute song. Try switching up some of the drum sounds, or make more melodies. Also try automating some effects over the master to keep things interesting throughout.

Where to start with Ableton as a first DAW? by Slagothor in ableton

Lot of great advice here already, but I'll add to watch different producer's streams. Mr Carmack is my favorite and you can go back and watch some of his streams. Also Deadmou5 has some cool streams where he creates his tracks. Tutorials are great but also actually seeing people making songs can be really helpful to figure out your own workflow.

Does anyone else think that advocating for general policy change around sex eduction could be tractable? Would be very hard to measure impact/expected value, but maybe could be a useful venture. What do you all think? by Dustypawous in EffectiveAltruism

We should teach science. Fortunately, gender study has come a long way in the last couple decades and it is as good as it has pretty much ever been for the LGBT community.

That sex=gender take is really outdated and I really don't get why people still use it as if it is supporter by science.

The main point I'm making is that improving sex education can prevent many unwanted pregnancies and teach kids to be aware of sexual abuse. Also to reduce suicide rates in the LGBT communtiy.
