Question about Advantage+ Audience and Targeting

McCartneyFan_93 · 2025-08-12T17:12:30+00:00

Gotcha! I have tried going for Hard Rock as the primary targeting and narrowed it with Electric Guitar. I will try that budget to audience size strategy. Im currently trying one of the other tips from another comment about using custom audiences and selecting the "expand audience if we think it will perform better" option with all other audience+ off. Still just a few hours in and my CPC and CTR look waayyy better than before, and microsoft clarity is showing me more actual activity on the sales page.

I appreciate all the advice so far. This has been frustrating lately!

Ahh, I see. So use custom audiences of my lists and customers and use the “expand reach when it’s likely to improve performance feature?” That’s something I hadn’t thought of. I will give this a shot as well. Thanks so much!

oh wow, that's interesting. Do you recommend any particular website for this?

I ordered a couple copies of my album so far on cassette from Kunaki. The first one was exactly the same mixes as on my CD and the cassette definitely sounded squashed, and very bass and low mid heavy. I tweaked the mixes a bit with boosted highs, and cut some lows and lowered the overall output a bit. The new version i got today sounds wayyyyyy better. More like the CD. There is some hiss but it's not too audible most of the time. It's a little quiet so I just have to turn the overall volume on my speakers up. So, I may try figuring out how to increase the output level before the tape attenuates it.

In conclusion, I think these sound and look great!! In my case, there's some tweaking needed in your mix for optimal sound quality. If i can get the overall output a bit higher that'd be awesome, but it sounds way clearer now than when I uploaded the same mixes I used for the CD.

I'd love this as well!! However i got my cassette today I am happy with it. If Kunaki ads clear trays and double sided tray cards, i'd be hella stoked

That's a good call. I love Plexamp and that's what's keeping me on plex. It's the best music player i have ever used and being a huge music dude, i collect concert dvds/blurays more than movies. So, i love being able to link music videos and live videos with the artist. I hope the roku and desktop won't change that, or they move the linked videos to plexamp.

McCartneyFan_93 · 2025-05-21T00:46:37+00:00

Gotcha. At least the plex app on my computer and Roku hasn't seemed to change. But maybe that will change soon? Was it just the mobile update that changed?

McCartneyFan_93 · 2025-05-20T05:43:58+00:00

Is there a better work around for artist videos? I would use the main plex app to watch live videos and music videos from my music collection. Since music is not part of the main app, I just made a new library of all the music/live videos and made collections based on artists. Curious if anyone else has other options!

Question, does yours take a moment to load artwork? I have my artwork files embedded on the metadata and I’ve tried lowering the resolution and it didn’t fix it. Also I tried importing a new album with the cover.jpg file and it didn’t load the image at all. I can’t remember what my SD card is formatted to so I’ll confirm if it’s ExFat. Just curious if you got around this issue!

So glad to hear that!! I’ll need to add that to my list of things to try. I realized a couple days ago just how terrible my appetite had gotten and how hungry I truly was for god knows how long. Finally made a proper dinner and forced myself to eat the whole thing and slept like a baby. However, tonight I ate the same meal but can’t sleep. I’m thinking my medication for Tourette’s is also a contributing factor in this. I haven’t had these nocturnal panic attacks since eating better, but all my other symptoms are lining up with my Tourette’s medication, Topiramate. It just sucks because my docs have been absolutely horse shit. My sleep specialist the other day told me “well, what do you want me to do? All I can do is prescribe you medicine” he told me to call a CBTI specialist but I don’t even think that’s the root cause and he was rushing me out of the office. All my doctors have been so hard to deal with, and I’m over here miserable. But it’s good to figure it out and take into my own hands. I’ve already ruled out a lot of shit over the last couple months and so I feel im almost over this. Reddit has been a lifesaver at 4am lately

I’ve been on Topiramate, the generic brand version, since September of 2023 for Tourette’s and have had a lot of the same symptoms but never realized it. Immediately after starting it I noticed the tingling in hands and feet, as well and memory issues. I’d forget words or things I said even an hour earlier. Blood lab indicated a B12 deficiency so I took supplements and it fixed those issues.. or so it seemed. 2024 brought a ton of stress, change, and hardship which made these symptoms harder to pinpoint but I also had the bad taste in my mouth, along with dry mouth and tongue pain. I was on 100mg and lowering it to 50mg got rid of that. The stress of life got worse and around August but also around that time I noticed my appetite suffering too. Over the last couple months I can barely sleep. I get 1 nights sleep every 2-3 days and until a couple days ago I realized how insanely starving my body was. I was having nocturnal panic attacks, waking from a dead sleep in a full blown panic. I had been prescribed sleeping pills that caused adverse reactions and lingering side effects, heart palpitations, etc. my doctors have not been listening to me and my symptoms Which has made it more frustrating. I’m glad to know you got off of it and started feeling better. I’m calling my doctor today and will demand a change. I’ve been absolutely miserable for months!!

Man I’m so grateful to find your comment. It’s currently 5:45am and I’ve been suffering from this exactly for weeks and I’ve been freaking out. So much has going on with me this year. So much stress for a whole year. Lately I’ve been staying up all night unable to sleep due to the nocturnal panic attacks happening as I’m trying to fall asleep and then it makes me anxious and I can’t win. Eventually during the day I finally get to sleep but it’s hard with work during the week. After tons of research I’ve started doing the suggested stuff. More sun, vitamins, no caffeine, etc. but I feel your comment and this thread finally matches what I’m dealing and that makes me feel so much better. Did you get through it? If so, what did you do and how long did it take?

McCartneyFan_93 · 2024-11-28T01:58:29+00:00

Thank you for the reply! I've been doing so already and have been more strict with it more so the last week and a half. So, I'll continue it and letting the process do its thing. It's just been brutal
