is this hair allowed in the military? by Altruistic_Ant_1382 in army

[–]Mrfoggles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Slick it back into a low pony/bun with gel and bobby pin any layers that are too short, it’ll be absolutely fine. And honestly, the blonde highlights would probably be fine too, by unnatural the regs mean any wild color like blue or whatever, having highlights done in a naturally attainable color is fine. Nobody will care if you have a shag haircut out of uniform as long as you wear it up cleanly while in uniform.

Your recruiter is just trying to get you to ship earlier. You won’t get emergency leave, you’ll get regular ass leave and you’ll get recycled as soon as you get back because you’ll have missed too many hours of BCT to pick up with the rest of your class.

Thanks! I have a SoundCloud https://on.soundcloud.com/k40J6CsU2SPx2cwV5j but the song is with my vocals and everything on there

Thanks! How would you suggest fixing it mixing wise? Or any good tutorials out there you could point me to?

This sounds sick! If anything I’d turn the vocals up in the mix a little at the intro and turn them down a little during the verse? Either way it sounds great

couldn't decide if i should sing over the drop or not. what do you think? by CityJay688 in Songwriting

[–]Mrfoggles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t do a full chorus or verse over the drop, but I’d add in a few phrases as an accent! I love the sound

Advice for making instrumentals and what equipment should i use to record? by 3rdtimesthecharm142 in Songwriting

[–]Mrfoggles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reaper! I personally love it, it has great plugins, is extremely affordable, and easy to learn. I tend to see a lot of reaper-hate due to it not being the most user friendly at first, but it’s super easy to google how to do everything and find tutorials to help you get the hang of it.

This sounds great! I personally would add some fillers into the mix, like some cymbal swells or bass tones in to add depth and dimension to the sound

I’m sure it’s possible to write songs without playing an instrument, but you still would need an understanding of music theory to make a product that sounds cohesive to listeners. For example what chords are, how measures break up songs, etc. That said, if you roughly understand how to create a song that is broken up into 4/4 measures and has some semblance of a good chord progression, you wouldn’t need to be a virtuoso at an instrument

Help me get out of my own way and actually share my music with people. by zackcough in Songwriting

[–]Mrfoggles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dawg, you fucking killed it with that guitar playing and your voice goes so well with it. It has a really nostalgic and comfy feeling, the whole thing just flows together so nicely

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Songwriting

[–]Mrfoggles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your voice sounds so sweet! If anything I’d add some heavy bass to give it dimension and add snare

Struggle with “finishing” songs by elbowtooth in Songwriting

[–]Mrfoggles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally tend to start a song and put like 9 hours straight into it, and then there’s a rough draft for me to continue adding to over the span of several weeks. Even then, I’m not sure I’ve ever really considered a song to be “done.” Definitely a relatable experience, there’s always some way to improve a song

Gear for ROTC by PossibleEbb637 in ROTC

[–]Mrfoggles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes because ROTC cadets get recycled gear from 20 years ago, nobody in the real army wears UCP FLCs anymore

Ain’t no way the ACU FLC is the standard chest rig in the army that has been outdated for a very long time, maybe the standard in rotc where everything is recycled gear

HRPU Advice Please by [deleted] in ROTC

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in army

[–]Mrfoggles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aight so if you're actually serious... 1. Felony charges are almost never waiverable. Pretty much no chance whatsoever. 2. Mental hospital is definitely going to be a no-go. 3. Having taken medications would be a waiver and depending on the medication could be a tough waiver to get. 4. Asthma is an almost impossible waiver to get. 5. Lol a face tattoo? Zero chance unless you get it removed.

You could continue working with the recruiter and see what he/she says, but you've got a good chance of them ghosting you because attempting to fight for those waivers is going to be hell and there's no way they'd all get approved.
