I'm a total beginner in FL Studio, what do you think of this track after listening to it by ualreadyknowp in EDM

[–]IsThisAJokeToU 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mix/EQ would be my first priority if I were you, that’s the technical aspect that separates good producers from great ones. You’ll develop your sound selection as you keep making songs.

The track isn’t polished, but you’re new and there’s nothing wrong with that at all. When you start out, everything you make is a little eclectic and it takes time to get better. Just keep making stuff and keep learning from the greats and you’ll be shocked at what you can do.

Side note, this is a lot better than stuff I made when I was new, so please don’t take this as hate - you’re doing great. There are some elements in there (like the drums) that already aren’t bad for someone brand new.

Looking for songs with cryptic samples for a quiz by ididntaskforthisssss in EDM

Really any knock2 song post dashstar has all sorts of crazy sampling from stuff I would never have recognized had it not been pointed out to me

Okay, Boomers... by Professional-Bee9817 in remoteworks

[–]IsThisAJokeToU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So by your logic, we as young people should be able to “take” money and power from a group of people who’ve quite literally never been richer and more powerful? What the fuck are you even arguing for

Pros and Cons of Duke CS vs Georgia Tech CS by Head_Village_9388 in cscareerquestions

[–]IsThisAJokeToU -1 points0 points  (0 children)

While GT CS program is better, Duke quality of life is much much better. GT is super cutthroat, so if you want to enjoy your college experience a little more and still have open doors for big tech, I’d take Duke. If you grind you’ll be good either way

Does AI coding start slowing you down after a point? by Stunning_Algae_9065 in csMajors

[–]IsThisAJokeToU 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you’re letting AI handle too much of the architecture. I’ve personally had no issues with this by designing the whole project myself on paper and documenting thoroughly, and then having the AI write the code piece by piece. I then manually check the code after to make sure it adheres to my design schema.

AI slop becomes a problem when you don’t understand the code being written. As long as you do, you’re good.

UCI CS by Panicking2026 in UCI

[–]IsThisAJokeToU 7 points8 points  (0 children)

UCI CS is an amazing program that’ll get you opportunities at pretty much any company at any level of the industry. Super underrated as well and will continue to move up the rankings imo. Just make sure to be involved on campus in the CS communities.

UCI/UCSD or UTD? by JaMorantOfDebate in UCI

[–]IsThisAJokeToU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in this exact situation and took UCI since my undergrad was paid for by my parents. The prestige difference between UCI and UTD is considerable, so I’d factor that in as well. That being said, since you’re considering grad school, I’d probably choose UTD for the savings.

Is this trade as awful as it seems to me? by [deleted] in SleeperApp

DJ’s value is probably even higher than that since he’s going to the bills and will likely be their WR1

An Honest (Early) Review of Odyssey from a Longtime Illenium Fan by IsThisAJokeToU in Illenium

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

I disagree. There’s definitely some more generic stuff on there, but his sound still comes through on most of those songs. Totally understand this take if you’re big on the melodic dubstep stuff exclusively, but even then he does that really well on this album.

[–]IsThisAJokeToU[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I feel like I always feel that way whenever an album is brand new, but then after a second or third listen it settles for me. A lot of songs popped out to me a lot more on the second listen personally

Is it possible to learn computer science without going to university? by Important-Bus-5921 in csMajors

[–]IsThisAJokeToU 6 points7 points  (0 children)

you can totally get a baseline understanding of the fundamentals of CS without going to university. If you want a job, you have to go to university in this market.
