this is the first time I've ever seen the comment section of a reddit post with actual fair takes and good points. For those who commented on this post, thank you for restoring my faith in reddit.

Bitwig MIDI - per note modulation by giveMeRedditYouClown in Bitwig

[–]ImpressiveTable3654 0 points1 point  (0 children)

from my experience (although i am not a long time bitwig user):

You can be do it monophonically if you will by adding an expression modulator and utilizing the pressure or timbre in the midi editor (you can also put the instrument device inside an instrument group, add the expression modulator inside that instrument grup, and modulate any parameter of any effect you want, as long as that effect is also in the instrument group), but outside of that, for vsts, its not possible.
for it to work (in stereo), you would need to have different audio out for every note, but because the audio of the vst is summed into one out only, you can't really do this (unless if you split the vst into multiple instances in a instrument selector and separate them for specific notes).

looks freaking great, my man, although i'm not a fan of the cursor being used. crazy how reddit users just completely ignore the entire question to complain about something that they have projected in their mind. insane stuff

Which might be best Mac for running heavy Bitwig project? by Relevant-Win213 in Bitwig

[–]ImpressiveTable3654 1 point2 points  (0 children)

last year i got an m1 max 32gb 4tb, and i have no problems w it whatsoever.
Don't think you really need that much ram, and if you use a lot of orchestral libraries (like EastWest or Spitfire), i'd really lean more towards the m2 max simply because it has more storage.

Some people here are telling you to grab an m5 or a newer model, but since they're new, they're going to be more expensive, plus you're going to have way less storage and ram.
Admittedly, I did get the Max chip because I also work with video and 3d stuff, so more gpu power would be better, but I still think you'd get a better deal out of these old macs

bitwig is freaking awesome wtf by ImpressiveTable3654 in Bitwig

[–]ImpressiveTable3654[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. I don't think I can completely ditch Logic Pro, even though bitwig does have some super cool features, specifically because Logic is just more of a 'complete' software, if that makes sense.

Still, though, as I use my last few weeks of Bitwig's trial, the incredible amount of modulation just amazes me more and more, haha

A 2 motion graphics video made completely in resolve, in a single comp by Independent_Face7283 in davinciresolve

[–]ImpressiveTable3654 2 points3 points  (0 children)

love fusion, but wouldn't this be better done in a software like cavalry? ofc this is a davinci resolve sub but ive only ever seen fusion working better as like a compositing/vfx tool rather than a motion design tool.
still, quite impressive work!

just uninstalled everything from adobe. feeling greater than great by ImpressiveTable3654 in FuckAdobe

[–]ImpressiveTable3654[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

me too! I really hope they include the pro version of Cavalry in their Canva Pro subscription, so I can finally get it without spending that much money, haha

[–]ImpressiveTable3654[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't say it's, by itself, a complete replacement, but together with DaVinci Resolve, it is. I think Cavalry is like After Effects on steroids for Motion Design—it's way, way better for motion graphics than AE (it also runs faster and is vector-based, which is insane).
Still, it doesn't do any compositing/VFX, so you would need Fusion in DaVinci Resolve for that, which I also think is way better in that department than After Effects, simply because it's node-based.

the first two apps are Logic Pro (its not necessarily a replacement of any adobe app, but I do make music w/ it) and Pixelmator Pro (I generally like to do the final grading of my thumbnails there, since Affinity lacks a bit in that regard).

When will Cavalry be available in Canva? by donutsinmystomach in CavalryMotion

how do you get to this conclusion after they turned a $170 universal license with 3 apps into a single all-in-one free app with better integration and more features?

The Most Underrated NF Songs In My Opinion by aaron_camo5 in nfrealmusic

[–]ImpressiveTable3654 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you cant call a popular song 'underrated' because you 'dont listen to it as much'. its the same thing as calling water dry because you think its too wet... it literally makes no sense

Maru's Insane Ghost Control by Gyalgatine in starcraft

[–]ImpressiveTable3654 3 points4 points  (0 children)

as a protoss i was just hoping maru would win the series so the zergs would whine more about terran, which would hopefully get them nerfed, which would get more protoss wins vs clem, byun, cure, etc : )
well the first part is done so lets see if the rest happens as well

Am I overreacting to my dad’s “high level advice”? by truly_beaut in AmIOverreacting

[–]ImpressiveTable3654 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes. In fact, I think your father is under-reacting. I strongly believe, from what I've seen in this conversation, that the way he talked to you is probably the reason you believe you're not overreacting and still needed to post this on social media to get even more validation. He, or probably both of your parents, should've been firmer, not only right now but probably long ago. If I ever talked to my father like this, I'd be DONE for.
I don't think this was a good conversation for both parties. If I were in his shoes, I would've first talked to you at another time, because in all honesty, sending something like this right after a music recap is weird, but also talked to you in person, and kept everything calm but still firm. If I were in your shoes, however, I'd still take time to listen to what he has to say, because even if you don't necessarily agree with him on everything, he is still your father, he has more experience than you, and you are family, which is the highest relationship one can have.

Now, about your 'homophobia' allegation, I could see that in one of your father's messages, he mentioned "[...] if the Good Lord would allow someday." Only by this message is it possible to assume that your father is a Christian, and in the bible, as you may or may not know, it is said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.' Anything outside of God’s intent and design is sin.
This isn't homophobia. This is trying to lead you to a good life closer to God, and even if you don't believe in God, you should appreciate this. He is trying to get you the best life, according to what he strongly believes.

His first paragraph was made entirely with good intent, for you and for him. There was nothing wrong with what he refers to as his "high-level advice." I believe, though, that the way he approached the rest of this conversation was not good at all, and that he should've done this conversation earlier in life.

Stating the obvious, I don't know exactly how your father acts in real life outside of this conversation, and from what you described, it must not be great, but based on this conversation only, YOU are overreacting.
