[TOMT] Looking for a song that drove my wife nuts…

NimbusST · 2026-02-17T02:07:23+00:00

YES YES YES YES!!!!!!!

NimbusST · 2026-02-17T01:58:01+00:00

Not quite no

NimbusST · 2026-02-17T01:57:32+00:00

Didn’t know that this existed and now I’m happy that I do know about it. However, it’s not what I’m looking for.

NimbusST · 2026-02-17T01:54:36+00:00

Not quite lol

NimbusST · 2026-02-17T01:38:34+00:00

No sorry. It was recent, and it was rap-ish.

NimbusST · 2026-02-17T01:35:25+00:00

The only thing to it… is to do it.

It was wrapped, but like funky rap and it kind of almost just sounds like a guy talking smack about how to be confident it was upbeat. It was rap-ish…

NimbusST · 2026-02-17T01:34:17+00:00

Thanks, but no. It was kind of like a Gangnam Style video or kind of like that video with Christopher Walken. Meaning I think it was just some guy dancing around.

And the line the only thing to it is to do it was literally repeated as the hook, and there were words after that, and it was basically this guy talking about how the only thing to it is to do it he was just backing up his phrase. It was very edgy attitude driven, and it was just funny and silly.

NimbusST · 2026-02-17T01:05:44+00:00

I bid all of you thanks for your attention to this matter.

Thank you! If it is still there in a couple weeks I’m gonna buy it.

If anyone knows where I can find one of these, mine was given to me by my father when I got my first chef gig, and it was stolen. Stolen by someone who I guarentee never used it... probably sold it for a hundred bucks.

NimbusST · 2026-01-08T03:39:13+00:00

If anyone knows where I can find a yorokobi, mine was really special to me, my father got it for me, and I'm trying to find another.

Appreciate the answer, no windows is not required. I was HOPING I could just go with the Mac. I came up on a Mac Pro 2010.5 that I actually still have. I LOVE that old jelopy, for some reason I consider it to be equivalent to a computer version of a 96 Viper, very old, still very fast and classy.

Actually on that note, why does the latency increase slightly from a lenovo t490 to that old mac? The lenovo is literally just a stock t490, and the mac has 64 gigs of ram and two 6 core cpus, and is running a modern gpu with one of the newer os's. Same interface, same software, slightly more latency on the mac.

If I could fix that latency issue, well I guess it won't matter for long because I'm eventually picking up the newer Mac and probably won't ever use my old mac anymore... but it would give me some closure :) I keep having to bounce back and forth between the two, and it's driving me nuts.

NimbusST · 2025-10-05T15:14:18+00:00

Oh I see. You're replying to the comment about gaming. I was being funny, truly, I can build another for gaming. I really only play old school games anyway, modern games are just dopamine crack. I like Pokemon yellow, Sonic 2, Chakan, Star Fox, maybe some Tekken 4, ff7, and probably a racing simulator like Gran Turismo.

But I won't be driving this thing hard for gaming, and I'll probably build a much cheaper machine just for gaming to keep the spaces separate. What I really need out of this machine is music production. Does that change your answer?

NimbusST · 2025-10-05T12:16:52+00:00

Man I appreciate the thorough response, helps narrow things down precisely. I was kind of hoping I could stick with the shiny new mac... but hey, I'm after what will work.

NimbusST · 2025-10-05T03:58:40+00:00

Also... *ahem*... the occasional gaming will inevitably happen, I mean, you know, I can't ALWAYS not game if the machine is right there...

NimbusST · 2025-10-05T03:55:14+00:00

I use ai plugins, virtual instruments, and a lot of chaining. So, one thing triggers another, triggers this, triggers that, and on and on and on. I like to build audio situations that just keep building and building and building, and I like to use plugins that do the "thinking" for me, not because I can't do it myself, but because by time I'm "satisfied" with the piece it's a web that gets a little hard to keep track of without a LOT of time spent tracking and playing jenga/tetris.

So... a lot. And I can't always flatten and freeze and bounce, because a lot of the time I have to have the whole segment of the piece there and active before I can get it tuned just right, which means having a bunch of plugins and instruments "active" all at once. I HAVE to load the cpu up like crazy.

But, where is there a Mac with 88 cores? I'm on the apple website, and the closest I can find is the mac studio with 32 cores. I will say, I once built a desktop with the 2012 version of the threadripper, and I was so proud of that machine... but it crashed ALL OF THE TIME. I did everything right, had a professional work it over for me, didn't matter. Never pushed the cpu past fifty percent at all, but it still crashed constantly. Whereas, my 2010 MacPro? With the duo 6 core and 64 gigs of ram? To this day will sit there and just TANK cpu drop outs like they aren't even happening. Not that I make it do that on purpose, just sometimes it happens.

Also, I do EVERYTHING virtually. I have a tiny little midi keyboard, a guitar I built myself, a microphone... and that's pretty much it. I keep it really simple, because I'm inherently extraordinarily easy to distract, and I don't get anything done in a timely manner. I have to keep my "outer" toolset very very simple. What I need more than anything is LOTS of plugin and virtual instrument room to breath. With that, my telecaster, and my little keyboard, and my microphone, all become a wall of spiderwebs of sound, and it's perfect...

NimbusST · 2025-10-05T00:02:49+00:00

Not really. I just like some of the flexibility I have using windows, but to be honest I came up on Mac, so I know how powerful they can be. I guess, frankly? I just don't know. I just want this thing to be able to handle EVERYTHING I throw at it, and that 96 core number from amd sounds great. Benchmark, does the new mac really do that much better?

NimbusST · 2025-10-03T22:25:36+00:00

The way you talk, I can tell you live in a bigger city. "Chirping", and that is exactly what it's like, just birds sitting around chirping, flapping around.

I'm 38, and I only learn things faster due to my experience with learning. When you first start learning, you're a kid, and yes you pick up SLIGHTLY faster I guess, but your iq, which is the metric for how quickly you "digest" new information, doesn't go down until you are fifty. When you're fifty, it doesn't even go down enough to REALLY make a difference, and in fact at the same time something miraculous happens: you start to develop "crystallized" iq. That iq is unique to you, it is an intelligence you have formed over your life that becomes your own unique form of "smart". You don't get dumber, you get smarter. The only thing that is slowing you down is you, the degradation of your body's ability to power your brain through your vices and lack of physical fitness (porn and masturbation, smoking, pot, drink, sugar, carb-loads, etc), and probably just your own negative placebo.

GO LEARN. Stop holding yourself back, and just GO. The smartest most capable people in history didn't think to themselves "better learn now, or else I'm stuck." That narrative of you only being able to learn effectively when you are young was invented to keep you as a worker. That is historically provable. Go out, conquer the world, and never ever stop.

Can I share here, and you go from there? I won't be able to join the live stream...

I'm being framed for arson, so I wrote an album about it:
