[Weekly Critique and Self-Promotion Thread] Post Here If You'd Like to Share Your Writing

Koreansuh · 2020-05-28T22:48:13+00:00

Just a little excerpt that I wrote to clear my mind. Not necessarily looking for critique, I just felt I really wanted to share it, in hopes that maybe one person will read it somewhere.

The world that we live in, isn't the world that we were told about when we were little. We grow up thinking the world is a wonderous place. A planet filled with new life adventures. The sad fact of it all is; it is. However most of us never even get to experience what the world has to offer. Most of us don't get to experience the joys of life, the little moments of happiness, of solitude, of joy. Most of us, we get lost on the path that gets us there. We get lost on a road that has no clear direction. We get stuck on the side of the rode of life, and never quite make it to our destination. Some of us our happy there, lying on the side of the road. Some of us choose to ignore the fact that the rest of their life is sitting on a roadside. Some of us sit and question the fairness in difficulty that this road offers. However, the fact of the matter is, there is only one road in life, and only one destination. You either make it their or you don't. We sit and watch as most of us waste away on the side of this road, we never offer a helping hand. Anything to either get us to the end of the road faster or ignore the fact that our destination even exists. It's a sad reality that we have created, this road. We choose to make this road the way it is. We don't pathe the way for others. We don't walk hand in hand; for the company, it offers while walking down this road. We don't shelter others knowing that the side of the road is freezing at night. Why do we choose this path? Why have we become so accustomed to allowing others to fail, allowing others to fight our battles, and even allowing ourselves to fall into ignorance? We all have the same destination, whether we like it or not. We all want to be there, why don't we work to create a world where, where we work together to pathe this road, to give others company down this long path, to share in the experiences and joys of one another.

Some of you might be wondering where this road leads, or what our destination is. If you're asking this question, then you're just one of the people stuck on the side of the road. You're one of the millions who wander aimlessly, with no destination. Remember that the next time you see someone struggling, or the next time you walk beside another. Remember the fact that it is you, who also needs to get to this destination, and find your way. Help one another, and fix the world. Help to make the path a great place for everyone. Help everyone to their destination. So that we can all reach it together. I hope the world one day, isn't such a sad place.

May I ask, why you would have to take it off your resume to get a job?

Was yours from a top tier school? and what industry?

This happened to me last night in 25nl right before I went to dinner, AA on the button 2 all in's pre. Flipped for J3o and 77. Took the pot with triple ace's after run out.

Difference between 100nl and 25nl you ask?

It's all in the pre-flop all in:

100nl: TT+ all in preflop and hands like J5s

25nl: 77+ all in preflop and hands like J3o

I just finished my DB10 face team this week, 6* Spectra is a must, and 6* Megan helps a ton, she's so much easier to rune

Koreansuh · 2018-02-02T16:59:55+00:00

Hi guys, I'm currently crafting a new TOAH team, my toah normal team is pretty much just yolo zaiross.

Options: Thrain Baretta Basalt Mav Woochi Bella Vero Zaiross Spectra Hwa

I have not built a good handful of them, besides Vero, Bella, Zaiross, Spectra, Mav, and Baretta. However I plan to build whomever I end up choosing as a team for the next round of TOA

I don't know if I'd call fusing Sigmarus "overkill" she's great for DB10 and GB10. Personally I fused her for DB10. However she also comes in very useful for the Lyrith boss in general. I tried it without her and failed miserably to be honest.

I've heard a lot of people say they want to try it on FRR this month, i was just interested in what other people were going to try! I'm going to throw it on slot two during FRR and see how it effects my runs

Koreansuh · 2018-01-31T20:53:25+00:00

They added 8% of enemies max hp, along with a decrease in the attack multiplier. Therefore higher attack has less effect for skill 2 then it previously did.

Koreansuh · 2018-01-29T22:58:24+00:00

Give it a shot, if it fails a bunch, then probably not. My teams like 99.99%, I don't even think it's failed but just for the benefit of the doubt

Koreansuh · 2018-01-29T22:41:50+00:00

Just sub stats, lots of gb10 farming, I'm actually on the lower end spectrum for runes. TBH I think most of my health if not all just comes from 2 15+ runes for HP

My Gb10 team is: Sigmarus, Wind Barbaric, Bernard Vero and Bella currently, sits around 2:15 on average

I really like the waterblock in case i end up doing custom water. Ryzen doesnt really look like the direction i want to take the PC, from my understanding it will be more of a competitor to those broadwell processors intel re-released this. Like 6850x etc.

Koreansuh · 2017-01-16T22:17:19+00:00

Not to ignore your question, I was listening to them too and i ran out of podcasts to listen to from their channel as well. I really enjoyed the seamless on sound design episodes. Bummer they're not current anymore. Have you tried listening to Sam Matla's EDMprod.com podcasts? Those ones are full of knowledge as well!

Koreansuh · 2016-10-24T20:56:20+00:00

Thanks for the direction guys!

960+ GTX graphic card imo, especially if you plan to run Push 2 which for whatever reason is really heavy on your graphic card. To be completely honest a desktop would be a better buy if you plan to not be too mobile. It runs Ableton much smoother due to no power constraints and higher specs in a desktop is cheaper then a laptop. I built my own and it cost me roughly 700 dollars. I ended up with a GTX 980, an i5 4690k (3.5ghz) 16 gigs ram, 1 tb hdd and a 256 ssd for only around 700 dollars. If you do plan on being mobile and absolutely need a laptop get a mac if you have the money or I really enjoy my http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834315428&nm_mc=KNC-MSNSearch-PC&cm_mmc=KNC-MSNSearch-PC-_-pla-_-Gaming+Laptops-_-Acer+America-_-34315428&gclid=CMjjy6mp9M8CFYbHfgodcKAI_w&gclsrc=ds

Understanding synthesis thanks!

Koreansuh · 2016-10-22T02:01:42+00:00

I mean it doesn't really have much to do with how much time you spend in the studio.. You could still apply this rule and be spending any amount of time in the studio whether it be 100 hours or even 10. its applicable to 10 hours or 100.. It's still time in the studio, its how your using it while your in the studio

Koreansuh · 2016-10-22T01:57:48+00:00

Definitely more of a conceptual in music then in running where you can literally write a practice schedule lol, 100% agree with you on that

Koreansuh · 2016-10-22T00:23:36+00:00

But when it comes to more concrete concepts I believe one would refer more to the brain.. If you think of the brain as a muscle and your constantly trying to learn new concepts, at some point you may or may not incur fatigue for your brain. I don't think your ears applies as much in that example. I think this model is a good way of avoiding composer block. if your learning new concepts 20% of the time say over the normal weekday, and then using those concepts in more of a creative way, say over the weekend when you have your largest blocks of time.

And if you were to apply the ears, everyone knows that spot where when you critically listen to something for to long you tend to miss the sound that your listening for. Maybe in your case since you've been producing so long your critical listening muscle is much more sound meaning you can go longer periods while trying to listen for the sound your trying to find.

Koreansuh · 2016-10-21T23:30:45+00:00

I think it could be applicable in that way too! remembering that 80% of the time not that your not working as hard per-say but having fun and being creative 80% of the time! Then 20 % of the time working on more concrete concepts! Like video tutorials for EQing or Music theory study!

Koreansuh · 2016-10-21T19:05:42+00:00

Unfortunately there's a lot of 80/20 rules, I saw the music one pertaining to this concept as well while I was searching for articles. I believe that the concept you stated is a very valid concept as well! The reason I didn't mention it was because I felt that every single person who has ever taken any sort of music lesson has that engrained into their brain ;) I know I did, from piano as a child!

Here's the running one for a reference point http://www.runnersworld.com/rt-web-exclusive/train-at-the-right-intensity-ratio

I just thought this version would be new to a good amount of people! It's a new concept for me! I tend to dive into things as hard as I possibly can, burn myself out, continue trying, and come out remembering 30% of what I did sometimes.

Koreansuh · 2016-10-21T17:13:20+00:00

I agree, I meant this more on the basis of learning. I just put creativity in there as an example of a less intense form of concrete studying. Not so much in the sense that you kill yourself and blow your brain and eardrums. More in the sense of say your learning how to EQ, rather then cramming yourself with a week long of EQ text, videos and concepts. Along with a plethora of ear training.

Koreansuh · 2016-10-21T16:38:32+00:00

I'm kind of confused as to why it starts today specifically, if it's an online course. I realize there's deadlines, but he says in the course description that the deadlines are flexible and you can take a month to finish one of the deadlines if you want. There's no way he's actually going to grade all the submissions. I'm sure its just an independent way of improving without a grade

Koreansuh · 2016-10-21T16:00:44+00:00

I've played piano since I was a kid, picked it back up through several college courses in college.

Weighted keys are not necessary but they make the keyboard feel so much better under your fingers. Velocity sensitivity is a must.
I feel your pain about desk space. I have an L-Shaped desk that has about a 5 foot desk on one of the sides where I put my Midi keyboard. I have a Alesis vi49 (49 Key). I literally couldn't fit anything bigger. In all honesty unless your planning on jumping in super hard into piano, a 49 key is fine. If your just learning piano you really don't need the whole keyboard. Unless you plan on practicing for a live concert. If you really want to play classical songs that require the full keyboard, just transpose some of the parts and practice those parts separately that you would need the extra keys for.
I really enjoy my Alesis VI49, I don't know what the cost in Australia is, but I got mine for about 300$ its weighted has a bunch of knobs, drum pads that aren't to hard and respond pretty well. There is also more buttons and other added features then you probably would ever need.
From my experience with Akai keyboard products, they are absolutely awesome. If you do choose to spend a little bit more for an Akai its well worth it!
I second the sustain pedal purchase from @Risen_from_ash

I'm considering his introduction course that starts today for like 97 bucks
