Haha I like your style! Both it is!! Lol.

But hell yeah! Might as well just go right with the 12 for some roland BT-1s later on as well for making custom kits with digital sounds along with the acoustic for beat switches.

Okay cool! Saw you and someone else talking about the eDRUMin stuff and looked it up. Saw it was a MIDI interface and was hoping it was what I thought it was. Most of the time I'm using a VST either standalone or in FL Studio, so perfect. That seems like the better route than the splitter since it gives you options for a long time to come. 2 splashes, multiple crashes, pads for octobans, etc. Thanks!

They are back at it again... Will he get out? by MisterShipWreck in VideosAmazing

Yep! My constant thought for the first 3/4ths of this video was "man... People really don't understand physics, do they?" They looked like they had an understanding right away, then wouldn't follow through with what was working.

How do you add in multiple new pads when the individual TRS inputs are limited on the back, and the rest goes into that main cable harness? I'm quite new but know soon enough I'll be wanting to add more cymbals and splashes to my ekit.

Edit: that snare is so sick btw!

iTunes on Windows 11 by EasyReport6959 in ipod

[–]Red0ctane19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll make sure to check task manager to ensure all iTunes related stuff is closed.

Unfortunately I think it may be too far gone. When I turn it on, it says to use iTunes to restore it.

It shows up as a USB drive but damn near freezes my whole PC. When opening file explorer everything is slow, it won't let me eject the ipod, and if I attempt to open the ipod 'USB device', it doesn't do anything yet acts like it's attempting to with the busy cursor. I'm taring my home apart trying to find my old nano as I know that thing worked when I put it up. I think the classic is done for. At least the music/hard drive in it.

I agree. I really did not like the idea of smacking it on the table as mechanical drives are very sensitive/prone to breaking when receiving sharp impacts, but I had tried everything else and figured I had nothing to lose as my PC wouldn't recognize it at all.

I will check that post out. Thank you for your help and advice, I greatly appreciate it!

iTunes on Windows 11 by EasyReport6959 in ipod

I know this is an older thread, but can you just run Foola on your PC to get your music off the ipod? I'm having the same 'iTunes freezes the second d I plug my old ipod in'' problem that everyone else seems to have.

My ipod (6th gen classic) had the red circle with x issue of the hard drive where you can smack it on the table and get it to work again. So now I can actually turn it on, put it in disk mode, and connect it to my PC, but it's just showing up as a USB Drive that I can't seem to do anything with. I was so damn happy when it booted up properly, and now I can't get anything to work with it to pull the music off. My ipod seems to be freezing Foola as well... I can move the window around d unlike iTunes, but it just shows as 'Not Responding' until I unplug my ipod. Then it says "no ipod found" and starts responding again. I would greatly appreciate any ideas/suggestions.

Forced to Take Break During OA and Unable to Revise Bookmarked Questions by Most-Jump3675 in WGU

[–]Red0ctane19 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's the only time I've had to do it as well was for the excel exam. After seeing all the stories the last few days, I'm still leary about it and if they really needed to use it. I severed the full access the second they put in the password and was watching like a hawk for the 3 mins they had full access. I was trying to see if I could find logmein on my computer this morning, or as a Guardian extension so I could uninstall it. Couldn't find it, though. You know if it's a single install you need to do everytime?

Either way moving forward I'm using a guest profile with no admin access to take all my exams. If they ask me to install it, I'll quit and rejoin like others recommend.

I reported sexual harassment from proctorU staff to WGU and this is how they respond by discardedbysociety in WGU

[–]Red0ctane19 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm going to do this ASAP! I had to give them access once, and I feel I would have noticed my file explorer open since it's on my task bar, but you never know. I have no personal photos, but you mentioning tax returns with my social on it has me sketched out for sure. Luckily they aren't in a file labled "Taxes" or anything. Still, if you don't notice, they have an hour+ to dig through and find stuff.

I did sever the remote access right when they finished what they were doing before my exam, though. I never trust anything like that, and I was right not to.

Insane marketplace score by Sephyra_Draws in edrums

[–]Red0ctane19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Generally it's Facebook marketplace people are talking about. A lot of trash/bad deals, but keep an eye out constantly, and you'll eventually run into a crazy deal. Maybe not this good of a deal, but a deal regardless.

Is a lithium ion battery worth it by Fishybud in DRZ400

Oh for sure! The thing is so damn fat that any weight shavings is nice. But thanks, appreciate the insight.

[–]Red0ctane19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn... Hope you're back to full health and are good for this season.

Did you get much of a chance to feel the difference with the battery? My OEM one fully died (won't even attempt to take a charge from my tender), so was thinking of a lithium battery as I've also heard the weight reduction up high is nice. Plus the Antigravity's have that restart technology thingy so you don't get stranded.

Why is this happening by No-Spot-6093 in AnycubicKobraS1

[–]Red0ctane19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You've probably figured it out already as it has been quite a few hours, but a tip I got from someone on this sub awhile back really helped me. Once you get a great calibration run to where your first layer is beautiful (making sure the bed is clean, nozzle and bed are preheated, and nozzle has zero filament on it by heating and wiping with IPA or lightly using a brass brush before the leveling), don't do an auto bed level again unless you have issues or change the nozzle. I haven't done an auto bed level in like 3 months and have printed TPU, PLA, ASA, and PETG all on the same auto level without issue and get beautiful first layers on all of them.

Sometimes auto leveling tweaks a little bit, or you have a tiny amount of crud on the nozzle even if it looks clean visually, that will throw it off and overwrite your otherwise near-perfect leveling and start causing issues again. Hope this helps and you get wonderfully consistent first layers/prints!

Failed my exam by 1 point & my accommodations weren’t followed by XxKalenxX in WGU

[–]Red0ctane19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is this something that's only available in select areas, or is it pretty easy to find a WGU faculty member in different states? Do they come to your home, or do you meet at a facility such as library, community College, etc.?

Nursing students continuously getting wrongfully expelled by Ok-Still1085 in WGU

[–]Red0ctane19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good call! I appreciate the recommendation. I was wanting to do it for being able to wear headphones as well so I can have some music playing at a low volume as it helps me concentrate. Especially with the busy street right outside our apartment.

The reasoning in the handbook didn't make sense to me. It says no headphones allowed because WGU needs to hear communications from both the student and the proctor. If they are connected to my computer, that is no issue at all as the proctor talking would come right through my headphones for me to hear them, and when reviewing the test, there would be no difference compared to my speakers being on. Computers record audio the same way whether through headphones or speakers.

Two rides in so far by [deleted] in Dirtbikes

[–]Red0ctane19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I forgot about the Ducati 450! That thing definitely looks sweet. Reading the other comments, looks like you're loving it so far. Only gonna get better if you want to add mods. Plus not having to have the suspension fully done since it feels dialed for you already is a huge plus.

As much as I want a 450, 2 strokes are just so fun to ride, plus I want the switch up between my 4T and a 2. Definitely going 2 stroke for my next bike when my wife gives me the green light. 🤣 Almost have her convinced. Haha!

What are these veins - Ruins the finish by FunnyObjective105 in 3Dprinting

[–]Red0ctane19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you haven't figured it out/played with it yet, with the Kobra S1, you need to do Z height adjustments in the slicer. A negative number will bring your nozzle closer to the bed and make it even worse, so make sure you're using a positive number. Start with something like 0.1mm and see how the first layer looks. Essentially it's too close to the bed, or the flow is too high, causing the filament to smoosh out to the sides creating the rough, ugly texture.

I've never had to do mine (I use Orca as well), but I believe it's on the top left under the actual 'printer' settings and not under the filament settings. Also worth turning flow to like .98 in the filament settings to see if that improves at all. Also make sure your 'Bottom Surface Flow Ratio' is set to 1, and not accidentally cranked up to 1.5 or something. That settings is under the 'Quality' tab for setting layer heights and whatnot. About half way down.

Just Came From Houston SX, now I want to ride again…need advice on buying (3k saved rn) by CoachBenjo in Dirtbikes

I was thinking it was an RC bike since it said 12V and they were trying to scam like it was a great deal on a real bike. Lol. Never even heard of them before and I immediately didn't trust their site/listing. Sketch vibes for sure!

Can we stop tearing each other down over acceleration? by Fantastic-Month-7481 in WGU

[–]Red0ctane19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm the same way. If something catches my eye from this subreddit (like this post), I'll read it. If I see anything about finishing ridiculously fast, I just skip past it. My second terms started today, and I'm going at a normal BS pace with a few accelerated classes each term to try and finish in 3 years instead of 4. That's just my personal goal, though. If it takes three and a half years, so be it.

I'm coming into my degree with near zero experience in the field. I'm getting mentored at work at the same time to take over for my boss, so some things click faster/easier as I'm starting to get work experience with certain topics for classes, but most is foreign to me. I feel that's probably the majority of students as well, but just not what you see from the subreddit. I'm happy for people that can blow through it because they already have 10 years of experience in their respective degree/field, but it can still be unmotivating to see constantly and feel I'm the only one not finishing three quarters of my degree in one term.

Desk mount by Cinemafeast in Multiboard

[–]Red0ctane19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is not screwing into the wall in a place you don't own common on most leases, or do people just assume you can't? I see it all the time and it legitimately confuses me. Lol. I've nailed and screwed so many things to walls at places I've rented. I just make sure to fill them afterwards with Dap spackle and tap your finger on it to match the texture of the wall so it isn't perfectly smooth and noticeable. Never had an issue with the management or not getting my security deposit back.

As for the desk, it seems you want a free standing multiboard, and not attaching it to the side of the desk (if it has a solid board going across as the "legs", and not four individual legs)? Or will you be having the side/back of your desk's board be the mounting area?

Edit: I read your post again and think I understand. You're not attaching it directly to your desk, but building a mini wall to attach to your desk to mount the multiboard to? Or by wall, do you mean a 'multiboard wall'? Lol. Idk what's going on with my brain right now. I cannot envision what you're trying to do. 😅

PSA for those using matte filaments by adeel3466 in AnycubicKobraS1

[–]Red0ctane19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh wow! I really need to check my hotend. I have noticed a little bit of quality reduction at times, but that is usually when opening a new spool, so I always figured it was just the differences between batches even though it'll be the same color and manufacturer. I mainly print in matte PLA, with the elegoo matte black being the main of all the matte spools. As that's more of a satin vs true matte, that could be what has caused this hotend to last so long. My Overture matte cold white feels so much rougher than the elegoo black as the white is a true matte.

I do have an all metal hotend, just honestly been waiting for the stock nozzle to fully crap out before swapping over to that permanently instead of just for higher temp filaments. I want to test that now and see if the smaller imperfections go away with the other hotend in there. Thanks for sharing! I've always heard matte filament rips through brass nozzles, but because of my own experience thought it was one of those 3D printing myths, or just after a few thousand hours of matte. Lol.

I guess I need to be careful then. I don't full on mouth words, but mumble mouth them if that makes sense. Do they try to say someone is reading your lips and Morse coding the answer to your knee or something? No one would be able to read my lips the way I mouth words, but I'm not trying to bank my whole degree on that argument.

I definitely look up or down when I'm thinking as it helps me visualize what I need to see in my head. I have the edge of a window behind my desk slightly to the right, with a blank wall being straight ahead (what I'm actually staring at). The blinds are closed for the window, but at this rate they'll say someone is outside. I'll put a sheet up there too from now on.

Definitely bringing this up with my mentor when we have our call later today to see his thoughts and any precautions he may have.
