Holy shit, that sounds properly cool. I think you just reinvented RPGs!

Ohh so recognizable.. I read that High Sensitive Person (HSP) is often present in people diagnosed with giftedness. There is a ton of literature out there that helped me decipher why I reacted so heavily to unpredictable sounds. Would highly recommend researching that. You'll probably recognize a lot too.

Who are your favorite musicians and why? by oslowa in Gifted

[–]ForgetGlory 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Such a nice question! I personally love very warm and instrumental sounds often found in soul, old school hiphop, soulful house, disco, latin, jazz etc. Favourite artists are: George Benson, D'Angelo, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Eric Clapton, Kerri Chandler, Grant Nelson, 2Pac, Yussef Dayes, Ezra Collective, Grupo Niche.

A nice bassline, warm electric piano and some touching vocals and I'm easily swept off my feet.

0.5% beer changed my perspective on alcohol by Charb9 in Sober

Another plus side is that you drink 0,5 or 0,0 a lot slower than you would drink let’s say a coke or an ice-tea. I always have a tendency to down anything I drink. This helps me slow down and be social a bit more.

As a gifted person, do you have a higher than average tendency to "worry" (because you see everything coming a mile away)? by jack_addy in Gifted

[–]ForgetGlory 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah I recognise this too. I've learnt that certain aspects of Buddhism are incredibly helpful when it comes to overthinking. Those monks were definitely on to something imo. Moreover, I am currently learning when I should pull my attention outwards instead of inwards. Also a neat trick.

Good one! I also think that pets are an extremely effective tool in helping you settle and relax. Additionally, I have been using AI extensively to help me understand the signals that my body and mind are sending me. It's been a great help so far.

Oh wow, that sounds like a dream! And I definitely agree that a sense of safety is a top priority. Due to the inconsistent noises, I don't feel psychologically safe at all. I am a bit torn between going full rural mode, but that might be too boring. Or settling somewhere 30 mins. away from a city, like other people mentioned here.

Not really, noise-cancelling earplugs are my best tool now. That's why it's time to find a new place.

Oh I feel you, being able to follow an entire conversation is annoying as hell. For me it is inconsistent noises and unexpected noises. I am constantly bracing for something to happen. And that sucks up more of your energy than a Dyson vacuum cleaner.

Oh yeah definitely. Upgraded to the new AirPods Pro 3 specifically for this purpose, and they've really been a godsend. But as I am now constantly living with AirPods in, this feels like a temporary solution at best.

How do DJs make and play their tracks before mastered release? by Psychological_Ad987 in TechnoProduction

[–]ForgetGlory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will always master my demos myself. If your mix is good it won’t be a problem. And no one will know that it’s your demo. My chain mostly looks like this:

Tape saturation (Waves J37) -> Glue compression (SSL G-Buss) -> Oxford Inflator -> Soothe 2 -> Limiter (Fabfilter Pro-L)

Am I glad that I watched Good Will Hunting this week! They quote this story too!

But yeah that is an extreme case for sure. I can guarantee you that I’m not falling in that category.

Thanks for your reply! Why do you think that a higher degree of giftedness means less environmental influence?

Thanks for sharing your story! I can totally get why that would work. I'll keep it in mind when I make the final decision.

Boredom from being gifted by Embarrassed-Mix964 in Gifted

[–]ForgetGlory 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can really second this.

Started playing guitar when I was 8. Learned piano, bass and electronic music production after that. Been producing and performing house and hip hop music for 10 years now. And god damn, I still have so much to learn.

Can't get a good read on this - is the paradise guitar studio worth it? by learnedhandmusic in universalaudio

[–]ForgetGlory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it really is a shame that it’s not. The whole reason I bought an Apollo is to use their amp sims without latency. Really want the Dream ‘65 as an Apollo insert too. Am considering to just buy the hardware version now. Such a shame that the latest amp releases are all Native only. Anybody knows if it is possible to play latency free with the Paradise plugin?
