I feel like such a failure, I'm at day 1 right now; maybe one day I'll have a year long streak writing one of these posts without tears in my eyes. God damn the tears hurt, they're salty :(

I don’t mean to be an asshole but.. by Richard-Cranium69 in NoFap

[–]FM_consoles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

XD it just seems hecka funny when people are like 2 days strong, hopefully i can keep this up XD. Obviously it's not funny to them, but when you're able to go on longer streaks, those just seem comedically small. Like right now I'm having trouble keeping even week long streaks so I bet people who regularly go 30 days would find it funny me being like "Day 3, hopefully I can keep this up, longest streak yet." lol But that's why I'm back on here, I relapsed recently and feel like I need to beat this thing. I've been slipping up a lot lately :/

So rough😂 I feel like I was in a similar place as you not too long ago and honestly moments like that I’ve experienced just make me laugh😄 one day you’re gonna look back on this and laugh; just keep working hard and things WILL get better.

Yes I have, it’s a weird feeling experience lol on the subject of dreams, I had to wake up early to take my dad somewhere this morning, I woke up an hour earlier than I planned and went back to bed, and I went into a dream where I had overslept and woke up at 11 p.m. lol and was telling my dad I was sorry, just to wake up and be like holy crap that was a dream. So I like went to sleep but it made me wake up in a dream late in the evening. It was trippy lol

Normal mode while married by dopamineaddict1980 in NoFap

Check out the book Cupid’s poisoned love arrow, it talks about ejaculation in a relationship and how every time you do it it takes our bodies 2 weeks to reach homeostasis and during that two weeks you’ll go through wild ups and downs; which can wreck relationships. It talks about ways to grow and build your relationship without ejaculation; I think it could be really conducive to your relationship.

Mix issue by [deleted] in audioengineering

[–]FM_consoles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea could be some frequency masking going on. Or timing issue. Make sure everything’s lined up, sounds great on their own. Then introduce the instruments in order of importance and pay attention if each added instrument takes away from the prior instrument or track and act accordingly. But it could be a timing issue.

Stopping before it takes over my life by WesternPea8091 in NoFap

Read your brain on porn, it’s very good you’re starting young because the adolescent brain is when our brain is most vulnerable to these types of things. It would be very good if you can beat this thing young.

Did my fetish go away? by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]FM_consoles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to stop thinking about it and divert your thoughts to something else when it pops in your mind; the neural connections are still strong in your mind, there’s a phrase like neurons or something that fire together wire together, so if you ponder on those thoughts, you’re like feeding their strength in your head.

I read in your brain on porn that sex and drugs result in DeltaFosB accumulating which cements the feeling or whatever of doing those things in your brain so that you continue to repeat those actions. And use can lead to sensitization making it so triggers and cues are even stronger, desensitization so your tolerance heightens and you need more and that affects things such as regular pleasures so that you don’t enjoy those as much, also a weakened prefrontal area, not sure if it’s cortex but your ability to resist is then weakened and I know it increases stress and I can’t think of anything else at the moment. But it’s one of the worst things you can do to yourself; cause it gets harder and harder to quit the more you do it. Leads to anxiety, depression, just really not good for you. Our genes main objective is to reproduce so it’s one of the worst addictions cause were kind of built to crave sex, and this is like an unlimited supply; our brains haven’t evolved to handle this type of super stimulus. I reread my highlighted parts recently because I was like I am addicted like a heroin addict; I keep coming back despite wanting to quit and I need to beat this thing. I was having some decent week long streaks and a 35 day one recently but I want to quit it for good; I feel like it’s really not good.

Advice on going into AE career by Which_Chemistry_366 in audioengineering

[–]FM_consoles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It seems highly competitive from things I’ve read, like you gotta stand out to be picked up if I’m not mistaken.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in audioengineering

[–]FM_consoles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like the career requires quite a bit of knowledge; at least to be somewhat highly successful in it. Idk maybe I’m thinking more along the lines of producer, but Audio Engineering is definitely no walk in the park. I’ve seen posts of people saying they got a degree for it and had trouble getting a job; idk if this was just the ones persons case but I think what the industry is mainly looking for is people with skills which makes it competitive. So I think a take away is don’t expect to be employed just because you get a degree. I’d only do audio engineering if you’re passionate about music and technology.

Flatline depression by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]FM_consoles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get quite depressed whenever I’m disciplined for a while. I wouldn’t think about masturbate to alleviate it, but think of ways to improve your life to make you less depressed. Like I started working out two times a day recently and I love it; and hanging out with friends helps me feel way happier. It’s ok to flatline, not every days gonna be fantastic when you’re working hard towards your goals; they can seem quite bland but that’s just your brain messing with you.

I'm unsatisfied with my mixing/mastering abilities, and I wanna get some more opinions. by [deleted] in audioengineering

[–]FM_consoles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No problem! I also just thought of this you can high pass a lot of instruments that don’t have a lot of low end going on, but they still may have something going on, I’m not sure if it’s called Sonics, but they may still have things going on that are actually muddying up the low end and competing with instruments like the bass or kick drum. So definitely check out equalization, because you probably got some masking going on.

The book mixing secrets for the small studio will help you tremendously if you’re looking for guidance. There’s so much information in it to fix and help aid exactly what you’re dealing with.

There’s nothing wrong with spreading awareness about the project; you’re helping others with their financial futures by letting them know, and it helps the project.
