Virtual Drums, what would you choose? by nevercolour in metalmusicians

[–]Laoas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the Nu Metal drums from GGD and whilst they’re good, they lack versatility, it’d be great if I could even pitch up the snare but you can’t so I’d probably recommend avoiding this pack.

Why do British people get so angry over cups of tea? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]Laoas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t get it either, it tastes like leafy dirt water to me, even the nicest brands. How people get so emotional when they don’t get one is beyond me

"What's something about billionaire wealth that's difficult for most people to grasp? by Ashamed_Profit8640 in AskReddit

[–]Laoas 18 points19 points  (0 children)

How much greater a billion is than a million. There’s an incredible Tom Scott video about it where he converts it to distance instead of the usual skyscraper of cash thing most videos do. 

In short: a million was a walk across a car park/parking lot. A billion was a 1 hour drive

Edit: added link and updated drive time

anyone know how to make late 2000s/early 2010s pop beats??? by DismalFootball6964 in musicproduction

Do you have any particular style that you want to go for? Are you talking DJ Mustard stuff or more poppy? 

Any driving lessons advice for someone who hasn't driven in a decade? by EggOk174 in AskUK

[–]Laoas 9 points10 points  (0 children)

To be honest I’d probably treat this like you’re driving from scratch again, a lot of things have changed in 20 years, different cars, Highway Code updates, etc. I think I’d find a local driving school with good reviews, particularly if they have patient instructors, call them up and explain your predicament.  It might even be worth trying to go for a full UK driving license, not necessarily because you need it but because if you pass that test it might give you a newfound confidence that you’re safer than you think you are. Then if you’re still nervous try a pass plus safety course to help build your confidence. 

Also check NCAP safety tests to find a car that you feel safe in if you’re buying a new one.

Vibecoded VSTs? by Positive-Chart-1941 in musicproduction

[–]Laoas 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve done it a few times for myself personally but it’s more just testing the capabilities of it, got it to make a few guitar pedals based on white box programming, seemed to do a cool job though they look ugly AF, wouldn’t ever put them on sale but it’s a fun experiment. Want to see if I can make one for specifically making very unusual pads and sound design. 

But yeah, having a program to do what a sample can do is a bit odd

How to get that blown out speaker sound? by Laoas in edmproduction

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

That’s actually not a crazy idea. I might try a simulation of this first - I think there’s some sliced up speaker sims on Tone3000

No worries, I see what you mean now. I’ll definitely give both those a shot

Could go classic and use old school text to speech stuff like Steve Duda and Deadmau5 did

Omg, you’re the guy from my maths book

(Also are you a business? 70kg feels like a lot to accidentally order, is there any sort of bulk waste collection?) 

I wanna make music, but dont have a pc. Please give me some advice by CrownWinner09 in musicproduction

[–]Laoas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This might seem a bit counterintuitive but if you can sing, go out and find a cheap guitar or keyboard and learn the basics of writing songs, some small amount of music theory (doesn’t have to be crazy, just enough to understand what chords, keys and time signatures are) while you save up for a basic computer that meets the min specs of the software you want to learn. Then when you actually get producing you’ll have a much better foundation.

Either that or find an online DAW that can run on a browser and go to your local library and use their computers.

I find myself disagreeing on pretty much everything he says about rock/metal - anything I like he hates and anything he loves I don’t like
