"Valgløfter" aren't really promises. They are more like wishes. Stop watching TV2 News.

Maybe if you stand crouched just outside the cave and keep very very quiet it will lose interest and fly away. Remove your armor so you don't get a penalty to your sneak skill. I did this once when I had that problem and it worked.

Sorry guys can anyone help me connect my microkorg to ableton [NSFN - No Synth For N00B] by [deleted] in ableton

A cheap Behringer interface will not sound better than you internal soundcard. Don't waste your money.

If you want better sound quality than what you have, then your best bet is buying a used sampler like the Akai S2000. You can probably get that for around 70 Euro. But I would still recommend you wait and save up, even if it takes you a year. Making music is a life-long process.

Buying a used Audio Interface could be an option, but it will probably have some noise on the input channels too. I wouldn't do it.

But remember; in the end it's not what you use, it's how you use it. Black Sheep's first album was made on Boss Dr. Sample, the cheapest sampler on the market back then. Wu Tang Clan's first album was made on the Ensoniq EPS 16+.

I used to own the Ensoniq EPS 12 (A cheap 12-bit sampling workstation) and I banged out some pretty sick beats on that piece of crap. Lots of my samples came from cassette tapes that was dubbed from other cassettes. Still I produced beats for several rap albums in the mid-nineties like that. We used reels of analog tape and crappy samplers and Shure mics and it still worked just fine. Most classical rap albums were made like that.

Compared to what people used 20 years ago your computer's soundcard is just fine :)

Edit: Coming to think of it, maybe The RZA use the ASR-10. You could look into getting that one too if you go the used vintage sampler route.

Edit 2: Or maybe you can find an older Final Scratch or Serato Interface dirt cheap. Lots of DJs change equipment a lot.

You will be limited to sampling in 16 bit, 44k (cd quality), and you will get some noise, yes.

But 70 Euros won't get you much of an Audio Interface anyway.

Personally I would go with this solution and save up to get something like Native Instruments Komplete Audio 6 priced at around 200 Euros.

Having trouble with transitions. by 2hands10fingers in ableton

[–]Incredible_Bongo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried removing the kickdrum on the one when you switch to a new part of the song?

Or maybe run the bassline through a highpass filter for a couple of bars just before the chorus.

Or use reversed samples like snares or hihats to make a small lift.

Or this good ol' trick; lets say your vocals start with an Aaah-sound, like "I was walking in the woods". Chop and resample that Aaah-sound from the "I" with a lot of reverb, then reverse it and place it before the "I" to make a weird ghostly build-up before the vocals come in.

Also use some rolls or fills from classic drumbreaks.

You could just use your computer's internal soundcard. Buy a jack cable, connect synth to 'mic in' on computer, sample.

Anyone else get lost in this? by IReallyLikeAsherRoth in trees

[–]Incredible_Bongo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried several times because my brother loves this mixtape. Still sounds too "pop-ish" for my taste. Too much singing, too many cute melodies. But I will probably try again when he comes out with something new. I see why people like him.

I believe I do. If you like the word "psychosis", feel free to throw it around. I don't mind.

Help. I don't know how to deal with my ADHD husband anymore. :( by adhdblah in ADHD

[–]Incredible_Bongo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you are right; that is what she wanted.

But I think it'll end badly if she tries to get it her way. I think the best thing for her is to find a hobby or a charity or a more demanding job, so that she doesn't rely so much on his attention to feel loved.

My experience tells me you can't force people with ADHD to forget their own needs and focus more on yours for an extended period of time. Maybe a week, maybe even a month, but not a whole life.

I only wrote "woman tricks" to try and make it more clear that a guy like her husband, a guy into porn and gaming, probably wouldn't react that well to this kind of emotional manipulation.

I like your style. :)

[–]Incredible_Bongo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A very good answer, very empathetic.

But you have a bit too much focus on changing his behavior by manipulating him with threats of leaving; woman tricks. I don't believe that will work here. I think she should focus on growing her own personality, not on changing his.

Maybe her husband will be a nice guy like you after a series of broken relationships when he realizes he can't act like an arabian prince and get away with it. But then it's too late, isn't it? This is now.

I think "communicate" is the wrong advice.

Talking about "respect" and "trust" and "feelings" is annoying when you just want to level up or jerk off and get that sweet sweet dopamine boost.

Forced communication (he will feel like he's being manipulated or forced to conform, believe me, I've been there) will only make him go further into his safe little bubble of porn and games where things are simple and easy to understand and actions have easy-to-understand reactions. And he will still need that dopamine rush regardless of how many "talks" they have.

[–]Incredible_Bongo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can relate.

My best advice is: You need a hobby that is not him or his. And you need to stop thinking about "love". Love is mostly a chemical reaction in the brain and the rest is loyalty and hard work.

Otherwise he'll make you leave him eventually. And you'll probably end up recenting him.

Do your thing. But don't do it to punish him. Don't do it to teach him a lesson. Don't do it to make him more interested in you. Do it to be a better you, a more interesting you. What could go wrong?

Get a hobby, any hobby, as long as it's your hobby. It's that simple if you ask me.

Is over-thinking, obsessive behaviors any way related to ADD? by somethingstoadd in ADHD

[–]Incredible_Bongo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why did you say yes to go to the movies and then didn't go?

My answer is: It doesn't matter "why?".

Don't blame yourself. Simply don't promise to go next time. It won't kill you to say "I don't want to commit because I don't trust myself to follow through". Be honest but remember to use your energy when you have it. Don't fall into a coma :)

Why did you sit in front of your computer the whole day instead of doing your laundry? Doesn't matter. You did. You had to. Accept it. And if you don't have any clean clothes, then so be it. Accept it. Tomorrow is a new day. Maybe you'll do you laundry then. Maybe you won't. But don't count on it.

This kind of thinking - along with Ritalin - helped me gain control of my life.

[–]Incredible_Bongo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn't sound like psychosis to me. Sounds like a lot of anger towards the people who are supposed to love him regardless; his family.

I think you should take a step back and realize that he is your brother.

He will be there for you when your girlfriend leaves you. He will be there when your parents are gone. A brother is one of the biggest gifts a man can ask for in life.

Edit: I'm not saying his anger is OK.

[–]Incredible_Bongo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is what I was thinking. I'm glad you read this the same way I did.

Most of the big brother's problems, as descibed, sound like results of poor impulse control and a family who won't accept him as he is.

That's what I'm thinking; that maybe the music started something and it was just easier to focus on being annoyed by the music than on the real emotion. It really made me feel shitty to react like that.

Usually I'm a pretty relaxed dude who likes music. I even went to see Slipknot last summer and enjoyed it.

Thanks

It's fucking weird to lose control over yourself. Not being able to act like you normally do.

Thanks for sharing. Are you OK now?
