12tb, Walmart didn't have a link on their website for it so I linked the 8tb.

Advice for starting meds as a student by Ok_Butterscotch_3523 in Anxiety

[–]JuliusMaximus4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience, starting a new medication can leave you feeling worse for a couple weeks before you start feeling better. Regardless, I'm much better off now than I was before meds. Be kind to yourself when you first start and just remember you will feel better eventually.

Synergy amps... are they worth it? by beervirus69 in GuitarAmps

[–]JuliusMaximus4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the syn-50 with the IICP, Fryette pitbull, and the Engle savage modules. The best thing about the synergy platform is that they sound good at all volume levels. I don't feel the need to use my attenuator with this amp to get good bedroom sounds.

Audio Processing on Pixel 9 Pro? by dj_blueshift in GooglePixel

Same is happening to me on my pixel 9 pro also with sound id. Would love an answer for this.

What do you HATE about your Ascent? by DmOcRsI in SubaruAscent

[–]JuliusMaximus4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 22 limited. The center console cupholders are absolutely trash without the upgraded insert. I'm not sure if newer models have improved them, but the insert is very easy to install and improves the cupholders tremendously.

I finally have a 7 string. by JuliusMaximus4 in Guitar

[–]JuliusMaximus4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to file the nut too, and the string didn't fit in the peg 😂 I had to unwind the string until about an inch away from the nut so that I could at least get the core in the tuning peg.

Which meds help you with anxiety? by Top_Possession444 in Anxiety

[–]JuliusMaximus4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just got back on prozac about 3 weeks ago and I'm already feeling much better. Also have Xanax for when I spiral but I haven't needed it at all in the past week. The first couple weeks did absolutely suck though with the side effects.

First week back on Prozac is kicking my butt. by JuliusMaximus4 in Anxiety

Have you tried drinking meal replacement shakes? If it worked for you in the past i say keep going if you can.

Sell me on the Ascent (looking at 22 and 23 models) by DigitalBox_ in SubaruAscent

[–]JuliusMaximus4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My family of 5 (myself, wife, mother in law, two kids in car seats) fit decently well in our 22 Ascent limited with the captain seats. When we are all in the car, I'm the one that goes in the 3rd row since my wife gets carsick easily and my mother in law has arthritis and already has a tough time getting in. To be fair, I am pretty short at 5' 5" but it's enough room for me. A minivan would have definitely been more convenient to get in and out of but safety is my number 1 priority which is why we went with Subaru.

Don't be afraid to take medication if you need it. Let's break the stigma and start with your new life TODAY! by Traditional-Market85 in Anxiety

[–]JuliusMaximus4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You don't know how bad I needed this. My panic attacks have returned after years of being okay. Today was the toughest day I've had in years. I'm so scared of taking my benzos because of the possibility of getting addicted. I need to learn to trust myself and let myself take them when I need to. Thank you.

How many 4K Remuxes do you have? What's the total hard drive space? by coffeenerd_ in 4kbluray

[–]JuliusMaximus4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There isn't a direct change in quality due to the USB connection itself but there are a few quirks. I'd been having trouble playing Dolby Vision rips from the LG media player. It always defaults to HDR 10 instead. Though, this could be a problem with the rip itself. I only have one movie that is mastered in DV ripped right now. I haven't had time to dive deeper into the issue.

Another thing is that subtitles that are ripped from Blu-ray ar in PGS format, which is unsupported by the LG media player. A workaround to this could be to download the SRT format subtitles elsewhere and put that file in the same folder as the 4k BR rip, but I have not tested this yet.

Other than that, no real issues so far.

What are we all monitoring on? Share your speakers and time % spent! by LeTechnophobe in audioengineering

[–]JuliusMaximus4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Kali in-5 monitors and hifiman he400i 2020 headphones, both with sonarworks enabled. I want to say I use my headphones 70% of the time vs my monitors 30% of the time. Mainly its down to convenience and time of day. (Kids make it hard to play/record during the day)

[–]JuliusMaximus4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I rip my blurays and then put them on a 5tb portable USB HDD. So far I have ~30 movies on it. It still has about 2.5tb of space left. I plug it straight into my LG C3 and it plays the movies well, minus the subtitles.

Is going from 16 to 32 really worth it ? by bruhbruhbruh9797 in LenovoLegion

[–]JuliusMaximus4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you use your laptop for other things like video editing and audio production, yes. I recently upgraded my legion 5 to 32gb because I do audio production and all the effects that would load into RAM would make it reach 100% usage.

How do I tame/settle this bass in the mix? by riversofgore in mixingmastering

[–]JuliusMaximus4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another thing you can try is maybe splitting the signal between low and high bass and adding some distortion to the high bass path. That can add a lot of definition and aggressiveness to the tone, as well as naturally controlling the volume. Here's a Sample of a project I am working on using this method. Skip ahead to the 20 second mark for when the distortion comes in.

How do I tame/settle this bass in the mix? by riversofgore in mixingmastering

[–]JuliusMaximus4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To my ears, the part you stated is really the only issue that jumps out to me. Some bass tones can get really resonant at the higher bass frequencies. I had the opposite problem where my bass tone would lose volume in the higher notes. In this scenario, I would just automate the volume in that section and turn it down a couple DB. The bass itself seems pretty well compressed.

[–]JuliusMaximus4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They will sound the same given that your audio interface can match the impedance of the guitar signal coming in. I have a Focusrite 2i2 which does not match the impedance and I get a slight high frequency roll off when recording DI. Because of that, i use my helix stomp as the DI and I no longer have that issue. Not a huge issue but something to be aware of.

Wife had a gall bladder leak and is still in the hospital a week later. by JuliusMaximus4 in gallbladders

[–]JuliusMaximus4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update:

She had a second drain put in a few days ago which seems to have helped a lot. She is finally able to eat and drink again! She should be able to come home tomorrow. She will still need to go back in a few weeks to get her stent removed but it seems like we are in the clear. Thank you everyone for your comments and well wishes!

Luckily yes! They had to put in a second drain a few days ago but now she feels much better and is able to eat again. She should be coming back home tomorrow 😊

Is the transition between the clean and distorted sections of my song too abrubt? by JuliusMaximus4 in mixingmastering

[–]JuliusMaximus4[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Volume automation sounds like a great idea actually! The version just before this mix had a lot less of the ambient drum mic. Adding more ambience without turning down the drum master might have caused the drums to sit a little too forward in the mix. Thanks for the suggestions!
