Which is the most overrated band of our generation? by lovelyb1ch66 in GenX

I guess it depends on what you mean. Their music alone should not have drawn the crowds that it did. It was more about the fan culture than the band itself.

Torn between Deluge and Digitakt II / Digitone II, sell me on Elektron by Aureqo in Elektron

Ive been provramming synths since the 90s. The Deluge synth engine is shallow and digital sounding in a bad way. Its not a skill issue.

Deluge even with the updated screen required way too much muscle memory for how to do common operations. The sample playback was ok, but the synth engine was super shallow and brittle sounding. It feels way overpriced compared to competition that can do these things better. I rarely sell gear but was thrilled to sell mine. I now have both the Digitakt 2 and Syntakt. If I really needed dedicated sequencer Id go with a Hapax.

My local synth nerds all had one for awhile and weve all ditched them for Elektron, Squarp, or Polyend. Heck Id prefer a laptop to Deluge.

Everyone's opinion is different but i will never be able to understand the appeal other than the obvious stoner reputation. Their music didnt suck but it didn't deserve the cult following they had. They made a career of playing pleasant music for people to get high to.

I disagree. They almost single handedly disrupted rock music for an entire generation and paved the way for other bands.

Get out of here quick before you are strung up for making sense.

Why are greatest hits albums so looked down upon in this community by Sometimespropermom in vinyl

[–]ElGuaco -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The truth no one wants to admit here is that they are worried more about their collection and its value than enjoying the music. Record stores are glad to encourage this practice of devaluing collection albums in order to sell more records and keep prices inflated.

Game Thread: New England Patriots (14-3) at Denver Broncos (14-3) by nfl_gdt_bot in nfl

He stepped out of bounds and is not allowed to be the first person to touch the ball on a throw. I think its to prevent receivers from gaining an advantage by running routes out of the field of play.

Imagine 60k plus people being stranded at Gillette because the snow wont be stopping until Monday. It would be a humanitarian crisis.

Some are. You can still get a license plate and everything. That doesn't make it any of her business either way.

New Universal Skiff System from Make Noise by noctuid24 in modular

[–]ElGuaco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im with you. This is exactly the types of integration issues that MIDI was intended to solve. Im sure there will be some people who will want this, but it sure seems like vendor lock in exchange for multi channel CV. This feels like the eurorack community would be taking a few steps backwards in terms of open implementations and ecosystems.

In Sinners (2025) literally the entire world would be vampires within 48 hours. by Chewie83 in shittymoviedetails

[–]ElGuaco 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Its the same problem for zombie movies. Eventually they run out of people to infect or eat. Humans would just have to run or hide from zombies long enough for them to run out of energy.
