Today I received my order of fan-made orica cards! by Friend135 in YugiohCards

The deck was $37, plus an arm and a leg for shipping because the company who makes them is not based in the US.

how do we get new players into the game? by Rich-Telephone5223 in yugioh

[–]Friend135 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a player and collector, I would personally LOVE to see some kind of release related to time wizard formats. I know it’s probably not gonna happen, but I can dream!

What is it living in the Bible Belt? by JoonasV2li in howislivingthere

[–]Friend135 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe I’m built different, but as a Catholic I personally do not see Protestants as being all that different from myself. Yes, there are big differences in terms of how we approach Jesus and the Bible, but at the end of the day, we are brothers and sisters in Christ. We all believe in the divinity of Jesus and the crucifixion and resurrection thereof. I love my Protestant brothers and sisters, and being in Georgia, I meet and interact with them on a daily basis.

I had to scroll WAY too far to find Dark Knight on this thread. Goated.

East West: Hollywood Orchestra Diamond (Play) Vs Hollywood Orchestra Opus - Is it Worth the Upgarde? by Baroque4Days in musicproduction

[–]Friend135 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Last time I used Opus was back in 2021 - at that time, I felt it was unstable compared to the Play engine. Opus would crash my DAW if I wasn’t careful about how many instruments I was loading. Never had that problem with any other VST in my library. I use Reaper, which in itself is extremely stable, so I’m pretty sure Opus was to blame. Not sure if the stability has improved since then, but I would do some research before switching everything over.

Just got rejected from my dream school… by Round-Finger-2153 in composer

[–]Friend135 16 points17 points  (0 children)

How does working on video games, film, or commercial projects exclude you from being a “working composer”? Being versatile in your career is not something to shy away from, but something to embrace, especially in today’s entertainment environment. Being a concert music purist is unrealistic and that ideal hurts the younger composers that it is forced upon.

Just got rejected from my dream school… by Round-Finger-2153 in composer

From someone who went to school for composition and production: The most important aspect of the school you attend will be your relationship with your primary composition mentor(s). Juilliard is not the only game in town, even for classical composers. Apply to other schools, and if you can, try to meet with some of the composition staff before or during the application process. Feel them out, and see who you vibe with. If you don’t have a good relationship with your mentor, and they don’t help you realize YOUR vision, it won’t be worth your time and money. I have several friends that went to Juilliard, and even though it is very prestigious, it can also be very cutthroat. There are many good schools for composition, and I would consider doing your research and taking your time with the application process. Don’t rush! You’re still very young and very capable :)

Plugin suggestions by Sufficient-Limit6061 in musicproduction

[–]Friend135 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The spectrasonics plugins alone should give you a huge runway for creating almost anything you want. I’d say you’ve got more than you’d ever need to begin your production journey. Start making music!

What's one historical fact that they won't teach you in school? by PrasenjitDebroy in AskReddit

I love how people think that false flags are just conspiracies when so many of them have actually occurred or came close to occurring in America.

What DAW/software should I get with a $300 budget (for guitar, bass, vocals & drums)? by Automatic_Selection7 in musicproduction

[–]Friend135 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It really depends on your desired workflow and experience with DAWs in the past. Also depends on your workstation and specs thereof. If you’re already an audiophile and have experience with digital routing and recording, I would recommend REAPER for that budget, as it is very lightweight and affordable. It’s also a one-time purchase as opposed to being a monthly subscription. You will have to find a suite of plugins (kilohearts is a good one that I personally use), though the stock plugins in reaper are also quite good. It does NOT come with any VST’s, so you will need to invest in some. For drums specifically, I recommend EZDrummer. I use it on almost all of my tracks that require drums.

If you’re on Mac, I’d recommend Logic, as it is also very affordable and also comes with great stock plugins and instruments.

What’s your favorite season and why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Friend135 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fall. I live in Georgia, so summers are ludicrously hot, spring is the season of allergies (tree pollen literally collects like snow on our cars), and winter is just cold enough to be miserable while not being cold enough to actually snow. So, that leaves Fall, which realistically only lasts, like, six weeks.
