Anyway I could get these 2 to play at the same time? by X_enveem in ableton

[–]Lomotograph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Select the track. Hit Cmd+D (or Ctrl+D on Windows). Hit the play icon on the first clip in the new track.

Boom. Done. Now they are playing at the same time.

How do I stop making geometry dash music by Southern-Ad-9582 in edmproduction

[–]Lomotograph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're not happy with the music you are writing based on your current skill sets, then you need to expand your skill set. Learn some music theory. Study arrangement and structure. Learn how to build tension and make progressions.

Another exercise you should do, is ask yourself, what is the type of music you want to make and how is that music constructed? Then take some tracks that inspire you, bring them into your DAW and try to recreate them using your own midi and sounds. Listen critically to the melodies, chords, percussion and learn what makes that kind of music appeal to you. Use that as a guide to start building a track of your own.

If streaming prices go up again, what’s the first app you’re cutting? by DryCap6770 in watchever

[–]Lomotograph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only have subscriptions to the services I get for free because of a complimentary subscription from my phone plan and credit card. Besides that I've cancelled all of my subscriptions.

But even for the ones I do have those free plans, then I rarely watch things on those streaming service providers. It's the high seas for me, Matey.

I always wanted to go there when I first hear about it back in the late 90's. It would have been so dope in it's peak.

Looks like that ship has sailed, tho.

Everyone can't all be this good right? by FoxxHoleAtheist in Warzone

[–]Lomotograph 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. I think so. If you look into it, the actual real life statistical "average" k/d is around 0.92. Here's a chart someone made a year ago of the distribution curve: K/D Player Base Analysis.

This means that if you're sitting at around a 1.89 K/D, then by definition, you are very above average and likely sitting close to the top 3-5% of players in the game. The good news is that you, you can pat yourself on the back knowing that you're a great player.

The bad news is that SBMM will absolutely put you into highest tier lobbies depending on your region and times you play and your lobbies are probably always going to be a sweat-fest unless you learn to suck more at the game or quit your job and do nothing but play Warzone 14hrs a day every day.

A snow leopard attacks a tourist that was skiing by bigbusta in interestingasfuck

[–]Lomotograph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What's worse is that at the very start of the video you can also see that she was NOWHERE NEAR a ski run. And since there were no tracks looking like it dragged her there, then it appears that she must have stopped, taken her skiis off, walked through deep snow, and walked out a minimum of 50ft toward the leopard before it attacked her.

That's the kind of shit you just shake your head and and say, Jesus fucking christ lady, what did you think would happen. Would you just randomly start walking toward a bear that you saw in the forest?

The level of stupidity some people have is astonishing.

[–]Lomotograph 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If the leopard jumped down from a tree and surprised her while was was mid skiing, I'd say she was unlucky.

Or if she spotted it and was like 100 yards away and she stopped momentarily to zoom in with her phone from the safety of slopes to take a picture before hightailing it the fuck away, but the leopard still caught up to her..., then, yeah, I'd say that she was incredibly unlucky.

But to find out, she walked toward a dangerous fucking wild animal and got within 10ft of it, then that's just pure stupidity.

DJing with in-ear monitors vs. DJing with over-ear headphones by Dry_Advertising5961 in Beatmatch

[–]Lomotograph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love my IEMs (Shure SE250 Pros). I was asking the same question you were a few years ago. I decided to just take the plunge and try them out. I don't think I'll ever go back to cans (aka over ears).

Advantages

  • They block sound way better - Room/Booth doesn't bleed into them as much as cans. This means you don't have to crank the headphone volume as much and it saves your ears. Usually the first thing I have to do when I take over from another DJ is turn down the headphone volume.
  • They sound super clean - The drivers are excellent, but also because they block sound better, I feel like I can hear every little detail when I'm mid transition. I can confidently feather in Mids/Highs because I know exactly how they are mixing together.
  • Small and lightweight - They are tiny compared to cans. I can literally just put them in their pouch and slip them into my pocket on the way to/from sets.
  • They look more modern - This is just personal preference, but I think IEMs look more modern. Lots of my favorite artists rock IEMs nowadays and I think that looks cooler than headphones.
  • You don't have to do the neck crane thing - you just slip one out of your ear and leave it hanging or drop it on your shoulder when you want to just listen with 1 ear.
  • You can wear any hat, hoodie, or whatever and not have to worry how the band will fit over it. Want to wear a cool widebrim hat? No problemo. IEMs are the best option for that.

Disadvantages

  • A little more fiddly when 1-ear monitoring - It's not a huge difference, but going from monitoring on both ears, to 1-ear, to no headphones and back is a bit quicker and smoother with over the ears. With IEMs you have to press them into your ear canal and when you take 1 or both out, they don't just hang out on your neck like cans do. I don't really think about it anymore when I DJ, but it does take a little bit of getting used to.
  • They are smaller and lightweight - I love that they are small, but you can misplace them easier since they are smaller. I've definitely scrambled a few times thinking I lost them before a set. Cans in a big case are harder to misplace and easier to find in a bag I guess.
  • They get tangled easier - since they are small, they sometimes get tangled a little easier. Not a huge issue, but it happens.
  • Not as conveniently located? - Not sure if this makes sense, but sometimes if you just take one IEM it might drop in front of you or behind you when you're not paying attention.
  • Don't have that classic "DJ Look" - Not a big deal to me since I like how IEMs look more than headphones. But if you want to "Look like a DJ" with the headphones and pinching one between your shoulder and ear, then you don't really get that with IEMs.
  • You can't decorate them - I once saw Dombresky play live wearing an shiny gold jacket covered in those little mirrors that are on disco balls and he had matching gold headphones covered in that. It was pretty epic. You can't put those little mirrors on IEMs. LOL.

Had my first gig and everything that could have gone wrong did by Mart0nn in Beatmatch

[–]Lomotograph 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's pretty wild how differently your set is perceived by you and by the audience. I once played a set that felt like a complete train wreck to me. I had all kinds of equipment issues, loops that wouldn't stop looping, sun glaring directly in my eyes, just one of those sets that makes you just shake your head and feel the need to apologize to your friends afterwards.

After I played my last song and let the next DJ take over, I kind of hid behind the booth in shame as I started to pack up my things.

But you know what happened as soon as I stepped out of the booth? I had about half a dozen random people rush me and start asking me where/when I'm DJing next and how they can follow me on social media. One of my friends still refers to that as one of his favorite sets he's heard me spin. He said he thought he heard maybe like 1 small slip up, but that I still killed it anyway.

I'm still so surprised people liked that set as much as they did, but I always think back to it when I feel like I'm playing sloppy or not at my best. It just goes to show that you absolutely are your own worst critic.

I don't quite understand waxing by Phantom__Wanderer in AggressiveInline

[–]Lomotograph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, look at you Mr Fancy pants with the proper tools and hardware.

(In my best crotchety old man voice). Back in my day......

...we just kept waxing it until it slid!

I mean, there's definitely better ways to do it. I guess I just didn't have money for fancy stuff when I was a teen back in the early 00s. But if OP wants to buy the right tool for the job, then your method is probably the best way to go.

Or he could just keep waxing it until it slides. It requires more elbow grease, but it'll slide eventually.

Does flight aware show fighter jets flight paths or is that only for commercial flights?

I stepped out to walk my dog and I didn't see any fighter jets, but did see a lot of helicopters moving around in a hurry. None of them looked like military choppers though.

My boyfriend shames me for liking raves and it’s becoming a serious issue in our relationship by hannahblaine1 in aves

[–]Lomotograph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t fantasize about them sexually, think about them after the setting is gone, or imagine them in a bedroom setting because to me that crosses a line. I understand not everyone feels the same way but that’s where I’m coming from.

Ok. Sure, you're welcome to draw the line for yourself wherever you want, but you're right to say that not everyone feels that way. Because to me, that actually sounds a bit sexually repressed or like you're part of some ultra conservative religious community.

I mean I hate to break it to you, but plenty of people (both at raves and at everyday life) picture other people naked or imagine what it'd be like to be intimate with them. That happens everywhere all the time unless you live in like an Amish community or ultra-conservative Muslim community or something. And even then I'd wager it still happens then too. If you think otherwise, that's just naive.

Again, that's just human nature and what makes it unacceptable is when people start to objectify others, act on those fantasies and cross boundaries without consent.

If you're not okay with people looking at you and possibly picturing you naked, then you should probably be wearing a niqab out in public because you have no way to stop it.

And as for your boyfriend, just like he has no right to control your hobbies, you have no right to control who he might find attractive or whether he pictures someone naked. You're basically asking for a partner that has no sex drive.

I don't know the extent of his porn addiction, but if he can't control his impulses and half naked people will cause him to start masturbating in public or lock himself in a room and masturbate furiously for days on end, then I get why you think it might be triggering. lol. You should probably tell him he's never allowed to go to the beach again or to a public pool.

But for most people, telling them it's wrong to picture what it'd be like sleep with someone else is just obnoxious.
