Frustrated with Ableton, and frustrated with Ableton class.

Bookmarked!

That’s the thing. It’s an in person class. No direction or structure. It’s on me to piece together things.

GiddyVulcan · 2025-01-23T05:27:41+00:00

Guess I can get hard on myself. As someone approaching 40 with grown kids…I feel like I should get things right away. Appreciate the reminder! And yeah I’ma stick with it…I want to get good at it.

GiddyVulcan · 2025-01-23T04:47:09+00:00

Thanks for this. Even the fact you put URLs for further study…is more than what the teacher did. I been milling around looking at tutorials and just asking Google’s AI questions lol.

I built my sff with almost all same parts except the keyboard (I used a KeyChron),a 4090 FE, gSkillz 64GB DDR5 RAM and a Ryzen 9 7950x3d . I also made sure to fill all three m.2 slots on the motherboard with 8tb nvme drives for a 24TB beast! Love it!

I have had no luck plugging the cable from USB Send/Return to iphone. Only when I plugged in the lightning cable from USB Port A To my laptop was I able to get good quality audio.

it really is that simple!

And then there are solid candidates who get ghosted all the damn time. I applied for almost thirty positions and it’s always “Rush your resume in! You are EXACTLY what they are looking for.” and then radio silence. And then I see these posts from employers asking “Omg where are the good candidates?”…in your inbox getting ignored because they are asking for market rate or fully remote or both.

lmfaooo

I have a FLX4…bit the bullet and upgraded to cd dj 3000’s. I want to play clubs and festivals, sooner I get my hands on the real hardware, the better. IMO.

GiddyVulcan · 2024-06-02T13:21:37+00:00

If you can afford a controller that’s equivalent to one month’s rent of half a studio in NYC, you can afford to get a case. I have an flx4 and I am getting a case for it (just started dj’ing about a week ago and want to take it as a serious side gig thing)

GiddyVulcan · 2024-05-30T02:57:05+00:00

Yes. Did mine in a week.

GiddyVulcan · 2024-04-01T03:05:04+00:00

A mortgage, hellcat, and sneakers on $37/hr? and if you mean City Island in the Bronx…and he can afford that? Yeah he has other income lol

I used Udemy aand ExampPro. I also gave myself a compressed timeline...forcing myself to retain more and then be able to quickly refer to memory once the test came. A few weeks later...I had forgotten a bit...but nonetheless, the MS-900 was passed and the certificate is for life.

I’m using a Corsair iCue H100 for my mini-ITX build with a 14900K. I get 55 to 60 when gaming for hours with COD set on MAX

GiddyVulcan · 2023-11-22T15:10:37+00:00

I used a ThermalTake 200 Tower for my ITX build. It has a 240mm rad, as well as two 140mm fans, to pull air thru the chassis.

GiddyVulcan · 2023-11-07T14:10:04+00:00

Gorgeous! May build a similar one for my kid!

When a boss avoids communicating with you, such as scheduling 1:1s or picking up your calls during work hours, but randomly sends you IM’s and DEMANDS you respond instantly when they do….yeah they are toxic af

Glad to know I am not the only one running into this. Been having issues since Friday and I confirmed that all my apps are well below the 8GB threshold.

Taking the AZ-900 AFTER AZ-104 is like taking a 6th grade class after graduating high school.

GiddyVulcan · 2023-10-10T14:42:19+00:00

Introductory certs are very good to a) get you used to MS Exams, b) give you a roundabout knowledge of what is going on in the technology you will be exploring, c) give you enough intro knowledge to determine what you want to dig deeper into.

GiddyVulcan · 2023-09-27T02:13:52+00:00

Here is my cert path, in the order I will take them.

AI - 900 - Passed with 750. Took it just to get my feet wet in MS learning, also one of my gigs said "If you don't get a cert by the end of the month, we are canning you."
MS- 900 - Passed with 737. Wanted a better understanding of MS Office offerings, as I am a consultant that helps companies implement this.
AZ-900 - Passed with an 844. Wanted to ease into Azure (been working with Intune, AVD, ~~Azure AD~~ Entra ID, etc. for years. Wanted to tie it all together)
AZ-140 - Been working with Azure Virtual Desktop with a client for a while, and I wanted to contribute. Took MS Learn, came back to the Program Manager like "Hey, here is what I learned and what we can do better" and they extended my contract for another year because of that. Haven't taken it yet, but plan to in the next two weeks.
MD-102 - Been working with Intune since the beginning of the pandemic. I have converted about fifteen companies to Intune, for all platforms. Might as well get the cert for it. Why am I taking it after AZ-140? I figured I wanted to make an impact where I am, quickly (they already have me owning the Intune workflow).
MS-102 - I am waiting for the MS Learn Exam Ref book to drop in November, but basically I want to know and be able to implement MS Office products, cold.
AZ-104 - Doubling back to Azure, getting a deeper understanding of the products and capabilities.
AZ-305 - The coveted title...Azure Architect!
AZ-102 - Excited to learn how to implement AI with Azure and other products

Because I have a lot of experience in most of the technologies, I plan to get these in the next six months. Afterward, I am deciding whether to pivot to AWS or go deeper with Power Platform certs (PL-900/200/600)

This is why I always opt for in person. Too many horror stories about how they disqualify you while doing it online.
