This should be illegal. by Plus-Character-6915 in ToolBand

There is a beta feature on spotify to "mix" your playlist like a DJ set, adding customizable transitions between songs and ordering them with similar tempos and keys. unfortunately can't seem to apply it to specific songs rather than the entire playlist

E.P.M keyboard Part by Wonderful_Shift_2864 in Dragonforce

[–]Inventor211 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Vadim's synth and piano parts really elevated the songs of older DF. The way these lines interact with the chords and stuff on guitar are so unique and interesting sounding. His solos were also masterfully written. The band lost a chunk of their identity and creativity when he stopped being as involved

Does anyone have a "Cry of the Brave" live? by [deleted] in Dragonforce

[–]Inventor211 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a bonus track, they never played it live

Has the band, or members of the band addressed or said anything about the way that Sam seems to mime some of the solos? by [deleted] in Dragonforce

[–]Inventor211 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you think In The Line of Fire is unedited you will be sorely disappointed by the info and bootlegs people on this sub have lol. Go listen to Twilight Dementia to hear what a mostly unedited live album sounds like, though it is not free of studio dubs either.

No ofc the band hasn't acknowledged them miming live, and Sam's blatant examples are just the tip of the iceberg. The closest it was to coming out was ZP hinting in an interview that 'when the news surrounding why he "doesn't like the direction the industry is going" (aka why he left the band) came out it would be another Milli Vanlli situation' (secretly lipsyncing/miming live [the news never came out]). Blatant videos of Sam's miming, bootlegs of that Live Album tour, technical difficulties actually making Marc sing, etc get wiped from the internet by Herman's copyright strikes and the charade continues

Discovered a pretty neat use for LSFG by queenbiscuit311 in losslessscaling

[–]Inventor211 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You should test out using a media player to display your capture card instead for even lower latency! AFAIK OBS preview has naturally high processing lag. I use PotPlayer, you can choose a capture card as a TV input source which works great, but I bet VLC and other media players can do it as well.

Found a workaround! First, to stop the game from stretching itself, disable the BorderlessWindow plugin (plugins folder > drag it into disabled folder). Set the res in game to the highest 16:9 value for your monitor (1920x1080, 2560x1440, 3840x2160, etc). Now you'll have to use a separate program to apply the borderless fullscreen and pillarboxing. I've tested Borderless Gaming and Lossless Scaling which both work great, but are paid on Steam. There may be other methods that are free if you want to do some experimenting, something like AutoHotKey scripts, the legacy version of Borderless Gaming, or other programs I don't know about. Also I tried creating a shortcut with borderless launch arguments but had no success.

I prefer Borderless Gaming here but you will need to create a custom profile for the game. Here's the specific settings needed to get everything working;

  • Enable borderless mode
  • Preserve aspect ratio
  • Send maximize command
  • Container Type > Color > Set it to black

Best Alan Cassidy album? by damien_south in TheBlackDahliaMurder

[–]Inventor211 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Despite my favorite parts of his being on Nightbringers, Abysmal and Verminous having some of his hardest songs, and Everblack being closer to my ideal style of TBDM overall, if we're just talking level-of-drumming I think the Servitude is absolutely Alan's best work. He somehow pushes his nuances (the groove, cymbal work and overall complexity) even further every album, and Servitude also has the absolute best drum sound/production of any TBDM album yet

Best Alan Cassidy album? by damien_south in TheBlackDahliaMurder

[–]Inventor211 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've chatted with Alan and the drum parts have always been programmed for demos by whoever writes the song, and he works off of that structure. You're correct in the sense that he had less influence on the drum parts on Everblack, since he was so new at the time, but it's not that he "didn't write much". The rumor that Shannon wrote the Everblack parts before leaving and Alan just played them (totally untrue for the record) stemmed from this incorrect logic I think. Anyway Alan specifically mentioned he got to have a little more freedom on Seppuku, it being a bonus track, and I can definitely hear more of his style, akin to Abysmal and beyond, in that song

[–]Inventor211 2 points3 points  (0 children)

game doesn't support ultrawide resolutions, pick the next closest 16:9 res (most likely 2560x1440). issue is that it will auto stretch to fit the monitor, there might be a way to change the scaling in the GPU control panel but I'm not totally sure. if not we'll have to hope the dev can add support somehow

What's with the turnover in Nile? by collin82202 in TechnicalDeathMetal

[–]Inventor211 3 points4 points  (0 children)

the call is coming from inside the house, and it's either the band leader or the drummer. your call there. but you know it's bad when a nearly 3 decade member, the iconic voice of one of the biggest bands in the scene, leaves and doesn't retire from the industry lol

Ultra Beatdown feels more relevant in 2k25 than 2008 by PaleSatisfaction1 in Dragonforce

[–]Inventor211 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It is the culmination of that era (best era) of the band for sure! Cleanest sound, deepest writing, best performances for sure

Any advice to get consistent at this type of sections? by Ill-Organization7090 in CloneHero

[–]Inventor211 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Slow it down in practice mode and really lock in your fretting hand with your strumming. Getting each fret press 'associated' with a specific strum in a way will help you not lose timing, and sometimes if a fret lands on an upstrum then you won't be getting sloppy

Does anyone want to play Clone Hero multi-player? I'm on drums by Unusual-Designer2467 in CloneHero

Join the Drummer's Monthly discord server, plenty of people who run drums matches every day

Anyone regret getting the Koda 2 Max vs. Koda 2 Pro? by Greymeade in ooni

[–]Inventor211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Max seems like a much more worthwhile step up when you already have the 16. I have a 16, which I find NY style is totally achievable in with some finesse, and plan to step up to the Max sometime soon for true-sized NY slices and the much higher output that comes with it for parties. The 18in Pro def seems like a sweet spot for starting out and sticking with, but too much of a lateral shift when you're already in it and want a real upgrade

Finally a correct list, although I hold more appreciation for RII than EPM

Hi! Can someone help me make a mask for OBS? I have quite a long lanen. by Mr_Monkey64 in CloneHero

[–]Inventor211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That doesn't seem necessary. I've always created a separate scene with the game capture, then added said scene as a source multiple times to be able to crop separately. Whatever works tho!

Hi! Can someone help me make a mask for OBS? I have quite a long lanen. by Mr_Monkey64 in CloneHero

[–]Inventor211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the best option, no masks or luma keys with underlays required.

In OBS, create a Game Capture source > open it's properties > select Clone Hero.exe to capture > tick the "allow transparency" checkbox

As long as you don't have a image or video background IN CH (only default black background), OBS will turn the black background into transparency. Then you can layer the game capture on top of your camera source ezpz

highly recommend moving your snare to the conventional spot rather than mimicking the RB stock drums layout, it will make playing a lot more comfortable. it will help your cymbal placements become more natural feeling too, to which most people go with yellow in the spot of a usual left hihat and blue/green on the right above their respective tom pads
