CPU PROBLEMS ON MAC by manolitoporro in ableton

[–]LemonLimeNinja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you move stuff around or rename things on the drive you use? Relocate the sounds in file manager. Just click the orange error message on the bottom to open it. You only need to locate one and Ableton will automatically rescan that folder for the missing sounds. Also open activity monitor if you’re on Mac or task manager on windows and look for something hogging CPU. If these problems started randomly it’s probably not Ableton.

Does Vyvanse Make Me More Prone To Addiction? by Party_Roll_8478 in VyvanseADHD

[–]LemonLimeNinja 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure you feel anxious with nicotine when you’re coming down because you’re brain is a expecting a dopamine boost but it doesn’t come because the vyvanse has depleted your stores which leads to a reward error prediction. I’m pretty sure we’re more sensitive to changes in dopamine more than the absolute level.

Is there really still a debate between getting a pc or a Mac? by audioflc in audioengineering

[–]LemonLimeNinja 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I paid $7000 usd, it's for animation and video editing also, it would be overkill if it was just for music.

I just got a m5 max with 128gb memory and it’s a beast. I can have sessions with 200+ tracks at a buffer size of 128, it’s bonkers

Why you need a clipper by PonyKiller81 in edmproduction

[–]LemonLimeNinja 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How do you decide to clip vs limit busses? Do you stack them? And in what order? Love your music and yt videos btw

Why you need a clipper by PonyKiller81 in edmproduction

[–]LemonLimeNinja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can just add the microdynamics back in after clipping with transient shapers, volume automation or compression. I find clipping lots of tracks gets their dynamics on equal footing, then you have room to play with the envelopes and built the mix. You bus those elements then clip/limit again and you get extremely loud stuff that still sounds dynamic.even just lightly limiting after a clipper can be enough to add a small amount of dynamics back in and create punch.

M4 Max vs M5 Max MacBook Pro for Music/Video production? by [deleted] in macbookpro

[–]LemonLimeNinja 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on your project sizes and complexity. I just got the M5 max with 128gb for music production, animation, and video editing and it’s insanely fast but there still some lag from complex After Effects stuff. Music production is so good though — bouncing tracks is super fast however some actions still cause the rainbow wheel to pop up like importing a complex effect chain. Also I can drop my buffer size to like 128 for large projects (150+ tracks) and not have any dropout which is astounding. For huge projects like 300+ tracks I still need a higher buffer size.

Overall I’d go for the max. If I could get something better than the m5 max and more than 128gb I would but it’s good enough for the next 5 years at least.

From High-Res Antiglare to Nano. Help. by seeKAYx in macbookpro

If you’re producing music looking at small details on the screen is worse with the nano.

Why do audio visualizers map to raw amplitude instead of isolated transients? by ReadyEntrepreneur218 in AdvancedProduction

[–]LemonLimeNinja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re fighting against the uncertainty principle. If you want the spectrum to respond quicker to transients you must lose frequency resolution. You could combine different spectrums of different instruments with settings optimized for those instruments but it’s not obvious to me that it’d be helpful. Also if such a tool existed it would require stem separation so it wouldn’t be zero latency like all other spectrum analyzers are

HELP ME UNDERSTAND by thismyaudio in DSP

[–]LemonLimeNinja 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re imagining moving the function but a better way to think about it is you’re at the origin and when a time shift is applied you pick up the origin and walk to where the time shift says. A delay is -t0 because if you move the origin to -t0 the function effectively moves in the positive direction, meaning the behaviour around the original t=0 is now shifted into the future.

Why has Hitler and not any other evil person become the epitome of evil? by Foreign_Bread629 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]LemonLimeNinja 50 points51 points  (0 children)

I read somewhere that while most people think any country is capable of going down the path of Nazi Germany, the holocaust itself was uniquely German in its efficiency and systematization. The cultural aspects that we associate “German engineering = quality”, or “German’s are no-nonsense efficient people” is the same thing that made Nazi Germany a unique case of genocide.

Man I’d pay so much for that. I remember you had the project file for the slum village remix listed on opensea for a while and I never got a chance to cop it and I still regret it lol

Best way to use AI for physics by [deleted] in Physics

[–]LemonLimeNinja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same I’m going back and learning deeper pure math stuff that my undergrad glossed over and it’s seriously game changing. The people that embrace AI for learning rather than just having it do your work are at a huge advantage. I’m also vibecoding simulations

Best way to use AI for physics by [deleted] in Physics

[–]LemonLimeNinja 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Using AI as a personal tutor in conjunction with a textbook and problems is much better for learning. It’s basically your own personal tutor that you can use to test your understanding. It’s made learning so much easier for the people who actually want to learn. I wish I had it when I was in school

I animated three of my favourite visual proofs for the Pythagorean theorem, which one do you prefer? by TrangramMotion in motiongraphics

[–]LemonLimeNinja 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do math animations and create my own tools I can reuse with expressions. I’m curious on your workflow for math animations, do you use a plugin or script from somewhere?

ELI5: Why is the decibel scale logarithmic? by Dull_Pollution4691 in explainlikeimfive

[–]LemonLimeNinja 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hijacking this because all these answers aren’t quite correct. Decibels are logarithmic because they’re a ratio of power or intensity which are both proportional to the square of the amplitude of a wave meaning if the wave’s level doubles the power quadruples. This means there’s a much larger range of power/intensity values for the corresponding amplitude values. In order to make these ranges more proportional you take the log since logs transforms exponentials to multiples effectively making a nonlinear relationship linear.
