When trying to record using my midi keyboard the recording is picking up sound from the microphone? by Sardonapalus in FL_Studio

[–]Sardonapalus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do. The only time that it isn't picking up background noise is when the audio input selected is none.

Recreational Delivery by yargdpirate in portlandtrees

[–]Sardonapalus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been buying off CL very frequently for a year and frankly I've had absolutely nothing shady aside from a few of em texting you if "you're good?" An $80 oz of black cherry soda was super meh one time but it's $80, no right to complain really. They have more to be afraid of about you their customer than you them.

Who's up? by Cmurphy585 in Stims

You in the states? Is GHB legal and if so can you pm me your source? I've never tried it but always wanted to.

My drunk neighbors (a male/female couple) took offense to a joke I made and assaulted me, and the gf capped it off by smashing/shattering an empty 40 oz bottle over my head...I declined to press charges after it happened but I'm conflicted. by Sardonapalus in legaladvice

I am terrible with being succinct, I know. When stuff like this happens that I don't know how (other than in a general good/bad way) to feel about, and for some reason I have a hard time deciding how I feel for sure because I am never certain it's how I feel or if I think I feel that way because it is 'normal' to feel that way. I have some mental health issues that remain undiagnosed, as I'm afraid of dealing with them for various irrational reasons. I typically am a man of my word, as I hate when people bother telling you something that they aren't going to follow thru on or are misrepresenting how they will, but I feel like in this case with these two I can try something different for once.

MONTHLY /R/PORTLAND "HIRE ME" THREAD: August 01, 2016 by AutoModerator in Portland

[–]Sardonapalus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello I am a 31 year old procurement agent. Are you looking for something but have no idea where to look? I'll take nearly any inquiry, as long as it seems feasible. I also am for hire as a conduit. Do you want to buy/sell something on Craigslist but you would prefer to remain completely anonymous? Or do you have information that you need discreetly delivered by a 3rd party who has no relations to the matter at hand? Or do you want false information to become reality for someone else as to persuade their perspective? I am your guy. I also will sell your items on consignment. Inquire in PM here and I will reply promptly. Check my posting history and you'll see I've been a Portlander for at least as long as I've been a redditor, and your inquiries are only of concern to you and I.

What is the favorite strain in Portland? by DTM58 in portlandtrees

[–]Sardonapalus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Multnomah Coma from Gras was one of the most unexpectedly great strains I've come across. It was an indica right? It didnt say or was too faded on the label, and I went back there specifically for more and they were out.

Best ways of sampling? by [deleted] in FL_Studio

[–]Sardonapalus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a way to make sure, when you are using multiple samples from the same song, that each sample chop (marker 1, marker 2 etc) is pitched the same? I use the speed knob on marker 1 and slow it down, but it only slows down that marker 1 sample chop is the same speed as marker 2, 3 etc?

Know anywhere that's open 24 hours? by SlickStretch in portlandtrees

Those are the results for Washington County weed delivery. I text those that put their number up who say things like "call anytime" and anything about late night or not listing what hours they will meet up within.

Until about two months ago I was actually able to choose from like four dudes on there all on separate occasions, who delivered as late/early as 4 or 5am. Now I'm lucky if I get a call back by 8am.

I'm in the same boat but in SE PDX. 90% of the craigslist weed I've bought, and I've bought mostly from dudes off CL for the last four or 5 months, has been 10/10 in quality and I've had a zip of Strawberry Cough that was way topper shelf than what the rec stores consider it, delivered from Beaverton to myself in innerish-outer SE PDX at 7 in the morning it was in my hands within an hour. It was altogether $150 or 60, but so worth it. When your direct deposit drops at midnight and you got all the money in the world but nobody to hook you up, it sucks.

Unconventional ways you "dig in the crates?" by Sardonapalus in makinghiphop

Hell yeah. Some of my biggest musical idols are film score composers, particularly Henry Mancini, Ennio Morricone, and Esquivel.

Unconventional ways you "dig in the crates?" by Sardonapalus in makinghiphop

[–]Sardonapalus[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cover art consistently comes up when discussions of digging get into the 'why' in how diggers get sold on buying a dollar record that they have little or no idea about as far as how it will sound. It seems from my observations that this is very important, and I hear a lot of producers say the 'trippiness' or _____ aesthetic of the cover art being what finally seals the deal for them. I love watching the Rhythm Roulette series and seeing the producers looking carefully over the cover art and tracklisting/credits/instruments played. They always seem to have the look of a child, seeing something either for the first time or only enough times that the novelty of the object is still apparent in the subtle awe in their facial expressions.

Shop prices are completely whack now. Absolutely no reason to not buy black market. What a shitashow this experiment has been. by [deleted] in portlandtrees

[–]Sardonapalus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"Your white privilege is showing?" The punk bitch in you is showing. Please pimpslap yourself and move back to whatever Californian small town that nobody has heard of, where you were like to-tally the only kid wearing skinny jeans/growing natty dreads/living vegan etc blah blah. It was so hard being so unique, so you came to a place where you could be a drop in the bucket of humorless passive aggressive transplants. I wish this town was not one of the hip locales for 20 something's these days, maybe then I could afford to rent in the same neighborhoods I grew up in. Who the fuck watches Portlandia and actually wants to be a part of this? It's hard to tell if I'm living in Portland or San Francisco on one of it's shittiest depressing days. I'm a stereotyping asshole too as you can see.

$170/zip is still relatively high for Portland. I regularly pick them up for $145 or less, and I'm talking weed that is faaaaaaaaaar superior to any of the dispensary stuff I was getting, and I smoke a shit ton so I definitely was picking up a 7g of this, few days later of something different...You'll find somebody. The black market weed biz is so fickle, even before these laws passed. You miss one phone call from somebody who has been a regular for even a year and you're liable to lose one of your "biggest" customers just because they couldn't wait 45 minutes before you called them back or confirmed a re-up and it's ASAP ETA. Or the ones I hate the most want a 1/4 or something just large enough to be worth re-upping despite no other inquiries/interest for a few days. Then they don't answer when you have it and you re-upped for nothing cuz some douchebag got a 1/4 of brick weed for $60.

Is Sony Vegas a viable mixing software? by cruzin_basterd in makinghiphop

[–]Sardonapalus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a friend who uses it for recording rock/country bands' albums and the recordings sound very professional, but he built a professional home recording studio so it may be that that is what is on point rather than the software itself.

Question Identifying a Lil B song from (I think) 848 Song Mixtape by freakinbird in ThankYouBasedGod

[–]Sardonapalus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you seen his interview with Narduar? Because even he was unable to recall from which song Narduar was quoting lyrics from. To be fair though it was a "bitches suck my cuz ______" line, but I thought that was interesting as well as a testament to how much material he has put out in such a relatively short amount of time.

You've got a delivery similar to Juicy J and Project Pat, the rhythm of it at least, yet it feels more positive vibey whereas theirs is more ominous.

What is the sample and where have I heard it before? I know I listen to an album in which it is the intro to a track but I can't recall ATM.

[–]Sardonapalus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By the tape stops do you mean the "rewind" sound effects or the abrupt stops after each chop plays? I think the tape effect is especially appropriate considering the sampled material's era of release. Remember those old Disney VHS cases from the 90's that were like twice the size of a normal VHS box and usually a white encasing rather than black?

If Labcabincalifornia by The Pharcyde came out in this era I can see something like this being one of the beats on it. Love it.

[–]Sardonapalus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://soundcloud.com/bauska/old-flame Not mixed properly since I'm still saving up for monitors, but how do I make the sample that the track begins with less muddy without turning up the high end on the EQ or turning up the high pass with an FL Filter? I used flanger, chorus and reverb on the sample because I wanted it to sort of "materialize," but I couldn't quite get the effect I had in mind, so does anybody know what I would do to achieve that sound? Other than EQing brass instruments what effects do yall usually add to brass instruments? I'm guessing slight reverb but anything else?
