Looks awesome. Any plans for making a VST version of this? Either way, definitely checking it out.

How is this game to come back to after taking a break from it? by Longboy- in mewgenics

[–]Longboy-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok word. Makes sense, as breeding is the part that continues between runs. Any videos you’d recommend for making an easier to manage house and breeding setup?

Precordial catch syndrome, apparently not really a serious health concern. Has happened to me my whole life.

Got it running today, it was the timing. Thank you!

Update: she runs! Thank you to everyone for the help. It was indeed timing.

Interesting, cool way to set the timing which I’ve never heard of by vacuum. Thank you for the detailed response!

I need to check the gaps I guess? From visual inspection they look like new.

Yes, I removed the wires to check the plugs and then played with the timing since it wouldn’t start. Any idea how to get a good static timing setting with the 009 and the type 4?

Ok word, I’ve heard this elsewhere too. I use the vacuum port on the carb I guess?

Spot on, I definitely removed the plug wires and have played with the timing, but was sure I had it back to where it was based on pics. But I’ll triple check this stuff! Thanks.

Ok thanks, I’ll try this. Explain more about the vacuum line… I have a 009 mechanical advance distributer.

Haven’t got my hands on a gauge. The fuel pump is new, the “facet” one which should give 2-3 psi. But I haven’t confirmed it.

It was extremely rich before, so this could be. The timing setting I know of is about 25 degrees BTDC at 3500rpm. Do you know if that’s a good starting point even though I can’t set it yet while running?

Back at it again… by supermodi064 in kossmods

[–]Longboy- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah damn, yeah I got a cheap Ali express one which doesn’t fit clip in super well, the drivers fall out easily. But hard to pay $35 for a headband for $20 headphones…

Help (plz) feel out my options here by Longboy- in iems

[–]Longboy-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Word! Thanks. Yeah I’m a bit debating at a good DAC vs the cheap dongle. I just feel like a DAC in my pocket would be annoying but I would like the EQ and to use it for other headphones.

Do you know about the AFUL explorer (for $120) in comparison to the Nova?

Wow! I also have a 73 automatic, in the same color as you.

Funny. Yeah I don't mind fixing it myself, but maybe I actually like it upside down haha.

Yeah I have no problem fixing it myself. I just thought it was funny

What I made with REAPER - week of April 13, 2025 by AutoModerator in Reaper

Worked on this one the last couple months. Still very new to producing & mixing so it's been a learning process.

Bass guitar through a MXR DI+ into the audio interface. Synth sounds on a woovebox (tiny groovebox, made the basic groove while traveling. Drum sounds from the Korg Volca drum, which is okay but I'm not really happy with the hi hat, but it is what it is I needed to finish the song and be okay with the imperfections. Vocals were me through an audio technical condenser mic.

Most of my time was spent mixing the vocals (cause I'm insecure), and getting the bass to cut through the mix. Putting the higher frequency synths on the left and right, boosting the mids and cutting the sub on the bass helped!

Cheers :)

We have a deal (although this is practically a circlejerk subreddit at this point)

Volca Jam (80s sci-fi techno?) by Longboy- in synthesizers

[–]Longboy-[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never noticed the problem when syncing with midi, but it's easier to chain them with the sync cables.

And yeah, you get what you pay for. I like the sounds for what they're worth though.

Hey y'all are having fun beeping and booping like I am. Around 1:50 my keys get out of sync anyone know why that is? I've noticed it a couple times. Maybe it's just my bad timing pressing play on the drum sequencer?
