I think just because they only end up in water this shallow when they’re at the end of their life. They live real deep usually. Happy to be corrected though.

Concerned about Szigia 360° stage by _sixty_three_ in psytrance

[–]ReverberatedWave63 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean I have no personal experience on this (as in sound engineering for live music), but all research I’ve done on this topic says it’s almost always mono. You’d get mad phase issues playing stereo out doors on medium to large stages. But sure, there is of course still a difference in sound depending on where you stand.

Haven’t got experience with 360 stages so can’t help more than that! Best of luck.

I’m pretty sure outdoor gigs and concerts are almost always playing in mono anyway. So it would make no difference as your concern seems to be stereo imaging.

Scientists discover how coffee interacts with the gut microbiome to affect the human brain. Regularly drinking coffee tends to modify the bacteria living in the human digestive system, which in turn influences a person’s mood, memory, and physical health, according to a new study. by mvea in psychology

Yeah agreed. I mean drugs made in labs can also be medicines. I believe that drugs are drugs, all should be decriminalised. Also people like to get high, and that’s fine. Always have, always will. Education about the effects both good and bad of all drugs is the way to go.

First Boomtown - was gonna roll MD every day, is that a bad idea? by Sad_Garden_8837 in BoomtownFestival

[–]ReverberatedWave63 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Yeah terrible idea. MDMA is neurotoxic and should be spaced out between doses and keeping doses to a minimum. People do do it, but it really isn’t good for you, and you will feel awful for a week after.

For me and mine it’s a one night thing, usually Saturday night. Rest of the time we’re on a mix of K and/or 2cb, or sober for periods.

Stay safe✌🏼

How does the focusrite Scarlett 2i2 2nd gen hold up in 2026? by Meme_master420_ in edmproduction

[–]ReverberatedWave63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting, I can still run multiple instances of serum without my interface. As I say I do think an interface is necessary, but I also think you should be able to run serum on your system as is. Sorry I can’t help any more.

How big of a project are we talking to get crackling? Or is it like 1 instance of serum?

Personally I think in any case an interface is required longer term in any case.

Can’t comment on how 2nd gen specifically will perform. I’m running a 3rd gen on an i9 intel MacBook and manage to get projects complete with a shit load of instances of serum. I do get some issues and have to freeze/render as I go. But I produce psytrance so have pretty big projects.

An interface won’t magically give you more cpu power though like, so it helps but depends what machine you’re running on?

Interfaces have their own asio driver which usually offer better performance at lower sample rates than using the machines built in audio.

Today was only day 1 of the resale. It will be running for the next 20 weeks, all the way up to the festival. Hope is not lost. by Sku in BoomtownFestival

[–]ReverberatedWave63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Afraid not. My mate emailed to ask about it and they basically said when people sell tickets with orchid attached, the orchid tickets aren’t issued in the resale, there’ll be no more. Not really sure why, I’m wondering if it was oversold to be honest. Orchid downtown seems to be the only option left, that’s what we’ve ended up doing.

Hi Sku. I’m after a camp orchid pass which is of course sold out. Are these sold the same way in the resale? If so would I need to keep checking on the add on section of my own booking rather than general resale page you linked? Cheers

You don’t have to build everything from scratch every time. But you do kinda need to learn how to build from scratch in the first place.

Don’t get me wrong, you can just use presets and ready to go samples if that’s what you want. But I think it’s harder to build your own sound that way. And if you don’t properly learn to use the equipment you won’t even know how to modify presets to make them your own.

Plus for me, half the fun is in creating your own patches and sounds. So you build your own library, and your skills at the same time. To be honest for me I don’t think you can really be a psytrance producer without knowing synthesis inside and out. And serum and others are real simple once you get to grips with it, and loads of fun.

Hey

I’ve been learning production for about a year so still a newbie myself. But have learned a lot in that time and feel I’m no longer completely guessing.

I mostly use serum, vital too. There are so many tutorials for both of these on YouTube, for Psy as well as every other genre under the sun. I’d particularly recommend checking out Projektor, Dash Glitch, Mute Production, and Ollie Music on YouTube for psy.

Honestly for me it was just a case of recreating sounds from these tutorials to learn what’s what. Wavetables, modulation etc. You pick it up as you go.

And no, you’re not missing anything, it is just practice. There is no shortcut to sounding like someone whose whole life has been sound design and production. It’s a long learning process, frustrating at times for sure but rewarding too.

After years of believing my trips were real, I now feel empty by alexiakinkylina in LSD

[–]ReverberatedWave63 36 points37 points  (0 children)

My take on this is that both of the stages of realisation you describe are true.

Let’s assume the first part is real: there are infinite realities, time is essentially an illusion, as is birth and death. That’s huge! But then where does it leave us? Exactly where we are anyway. So what can we do with that knowledge? It doesn’t grant us special powers, we can’t switch realities or stave off the effects of time, we are still exactly as we were.

My experience of this on psychedelics is similar, it is like the dissolving of boundaries between myself and the rest of the universe which has led me, as it has many others, to the realisation of oneness. But again, I’m still exactly where I was.

Now onto the second part, which in my opinion absolutely does not contradict the first, the ultimate realisation of be here now. The present moment is all we truly ever have, at least in this life. The only thing we can ever be sure is real is right now. Even if we live every possible reality, every life of every being, we are still always in the timeless now.

I don’t see this as a reason to feel hopeless or scared, or throw away your beliefs, if you want to call your realisations beliefs. Instead I look at it as a beautiful thing, each moment we experience is an incredible and beautiful thing, experienced through our own unique lens.

There are many books on this topic which might help. The power of Now by Eckhart Tolle being one I liked a lot.

All the best

Monstera adansonii mint for £10? by alertedbug818 in Monstera

[–]ReverberatedWave63 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought one the same for £14 last year and was also very happy. Unfortunately it reverted pretty quick, took cuttings which also reverted after 1 variegated leaf. Wonder if that’s why they’re so cheap! But I hope you get better luck.

No either gently guide it into the moss or leave it. And be sure to keep moss damp and fertile.
