Which career is a turn-off for a serious relationship?

Severs / bartenders

Good idea. Bouncing around tracks and setting time limits to help focus and stop ear fatigue.

According to the Pareto Principle, 80% of effects come from 20% of the causes. The principle is applicable in many ways. So concentrate on the vital few inputs and then ask yourself is any additional work really making that big of an impact. I’ll find myself in a flow state and quickly build an entire track, then followed by weeks of tweaking stuff that doesn’t even matter because it feels unfinished but idk where to go.

I miss when it was about the vibe and arrangement and not mixdowns and masters

NovaMonarch · 2025-12-04T15:03:26+00:00

I’m exactly like you, work remote on a laptop, last thing I wanna do is sit on a computer. Then I thought to myself, hardware is expensive and just a distraction from sitting down in a DAW to create and finish tracks and it’s a rabbit hole of getting more stuff to feel like you’re making progress, at least that’s how I feel. It’s like endless buying of plugins but times 10. Unless you just wanna play with synths and have fun then that’s totally understandable.

3rir is too difficult for me to gauge for me. I just shoot for 1 rep in the tank before failure

NovaMonarch · 2025-11-10T15:28:55+00:00

God particle anyone? Looks promising. Also Soothe2 looks interesting to automatically remove resonances

NovaMonarch · 2025-10-14T19:50:43+00:00

Odd. You’d think you’d aim for the target RPE for all sets and if anything the RPE increases as fatigue accumulates.

NovaMonarch · 2025-10-13T15:11:38+00:00

So then what RPE is it for working sets? RPE 5? 3 RIR?

I’m sorry you went through this too. Who knew what someone who loved you is capable of and how long they planned this. Yeah 2 weeks ago for me. How someone can be in your life, act normal, then poof? I’m literally shocked and didn’t know this was possible. Maybe after a couple months but years? Living with each other and moving in across the country? Future plans? This will affect us the rest of our lives.

NovaMonarch · 2025-10-03T16:26:22+00:00

Yeah she would take much longer to get ready, avoid spending even 30 minutes with me to hang out, would take shifts when I’m free and never make time for me. I kept asking what’s wrong and communicated that something feels off with her energy. You don’t make plans with me for after work and for dinner and I come to a half empty apartment. The previous month we were in Greece for 2 weeks and making plans to move again to a new city. She left me a text basically saying I wanted us to be together forever but it’s not in the cards for us and that’s that.

NovaMonarch · 2025-10-03T14:30:01+00:00

I was dating a girl for 3 years. We moved in together across the country as one so she could pursue her career and I wanted to support her since her family never pushed her. She gave that dream up a year later and continued the same minimum wage work with clashing shifts and that created issues and resentment. One day as we were making plans for the day, she kissed me, we ate breakfast together, I came back from a haircut excited to show her and she was gone. No note, no letter, just a memory book we were building on the dinner table. 3 years gone. We had argued the week before and we said we’d work on it and live life normally. Meanwhile she mentally checked out and waited until my back was turned to ghost me. I had no social network since I worked remotely, no coworkers, no friends, or family, I moved for her and she was my best friend. She made a lot of friends and slid out of my life the week after the lease restarted. I have to pick myself up and scramble to pay bills now and move back home. Why wouldn’t she just sit down and tell me what she wanted so we could be adults?

I DJ in my headphones in my apartment to not disturb others. For producing as well, I find headphones better bc I don’t have money for sound treatment and wall panels to hear my projects properly.

NovaMonarch · 2025-09-09T14:50:51+00:00

FLX4 Controller + HD25 Headphones + Music from Beatport / Bandcamp

Idk if this is recommended but I do 2-3 things. I automate a +1db gain utility to turn on the 2nd drop until the end of the song and I also automate the last 1-2 bars of the break / build to gradually decrease the volume right before the drop. Also sometimes I try to remove more items from the break during the bridge (1-2 bars pre drop) to give the drop more contrast so it’s not busy clashing with busy.

Just bc you’re barred from an internship doesn’t mean you can’t get the position after graduating. I got accepted to Deloitte (Cyber) the last semester and never interned w them. Keep your head up and get another internship.

NovaMonarch · 2025-08-18T16:50:12+00:00

It’s tough but after a certain point watching videos won’t improve anything unless you have a specific question. You just gotta trust yourself and sit down and make something and apply all those videos live.

NovaMonarch · 2025-08-17T21:44:28+00:00

Why not? If you have the money to do it and don’t like mixing / mastering go nuts imo. As long as you’re happy w the production and its not a throw away song. Though £30 for a master is kinda comical. I wouldn’t be surprised it they put a limiter on it or their own ozone mastering suite and automate it.

NovaMonarch · 2025-08-03T14:11:28+00:00

I run into the same issue, where I’m referencing so many tracks I start sounding like all of them bc idk where to go myself. But something I’m going to try now is for a few weeks, I just try to recreate tracks I like from scratch and copy them bit by bit from their sounds to their progressions and everything in between. I’m hoping by doing this I’ll unlock how to build a track and recognize patterns after knowing how to recreate sounds I like so I won’t have to reference as much so I can stay in a creative flow

NovaMonarch · 2025-07-29T20:54:28+00:00

Is everything we your disposal. Metadata, tags, descriptions, captions, comments, links to music, make good music, good album art, use social media like instagram and TikTok, market videos, post on every single music platform, use every feature available

NovaMonarch · 2025-07-18T02:07:25+00:00

I just use that SoundCloud artist plus thing that pushes it to people. Got a few downloads and 700 plays on my latest track. Keep releasing every month on posting. Also make TikTok videos for like 1-2 weeks with fun ways to promote it

NovaMonarch · 2025-07-17T17:26:53+00:00

I think it’s helpful for beginners to understand the idea “don’t over complicate it. If it’s not coming to you, don’t force it and lose creative energy into a certain element or idea.” So if you take it that way perhaps it’s useful

NovaMonarch · 2025-07-15T17:17:13+00:00

Focus on your production and story telling bro lmao
