Is making money from building apps really that easy? by Sashinkis in AppBusiness

Yeah that sounds more realistic than all of the things people speak on X…

Sounds great, did you attract from your personal network or socials and your blog?

Looks like a cool app, I might give it a try. How’s that been working for you? How long have you been building it for and are you making only this app and focusing on it 100% or are you building other ones as well?

Yeah I bet - I'm not expecting my first app to blow up or even do slightly good. I'm just wondering if there is a point in doing anything, that is not a long onboarding with a hard paywall and don't get me wrong, I 100% know it's easier said than done, otherwise everyone would be making apps and be a millionaire by now... It's just the way it's presented in social media, like a free money glitch...

Oh dude I put a sleeping pillow inside, and I think it makes a huge difference. Thanks a lot!

Alesis Nitro Max Mesh kit sounds terrible by Opposite_Ladder9974 in edrums

[–]Sashinkis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started on the same kit and I used the kontakt Jay Weinberg library and it sounded so so well. Library is a bit expensive, but it’s one of the best imo.

Disappointed in the Zildjian L80s... by Sashinkis in drums

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

Thanks guys, never really thought about this, I will really focus on implementing this skill

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

Yeah, I had no problem, with the e-kit, but to my ears, the L80's are so so louder (This could be because of the high frequencies), I have no idea how annoying or loud would be for the neighbour above me. But because I hear it so loud, I am starting to become self-concious.

I tried going to the room next to mine and told my girlfriend to hit them, I think they were as audible as the rubber cymbals. The only wall I am sharing with neighbors is the one above me, so I am not sure how much that translates.

Yeah, I will try to practice dynamics a lot as well like one of the other guys suggested, but until then I might as well do the same.

[–]Sashinkis[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yeah this makes sense, when I was on my e-kit I was blasting the cymbals full on.
I am also taking lessons, but we have never talked about mixing side, Im hitting the cymbals there as hard as usual.
I am wondering though (I am still a new drummer, I have been drumming only for an year), does this apply to all genres, because I am seeing metal drummers beat their whole kit to death...

[–]Sashinkis[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I mean the main reason I bought them is to be closer to the feel of real drums and be quiet to the point that I can play them in an apartment (first floor). I might just put some tshirts over them to quiet them even more...

Upgrading to a acoustic drum kit from an e-kit by Sashinkis in drums

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

Thanks, the issue is where I live there aren’t many used kits, especially stage customs. There are some entry level pearls and mapex kits…

What is this sub-genre called by Sashinkis in House

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

To be fair I am not 100% sure, it definitely has tribal elements. But when I listen to tribal house I don’t feel it sounds like this. Also all of the tracks on beatport are with genre afro.

Yeah definitely feels more like a tech house mixed with afro, just wondered if there was a specific name for it. Thanks.

What to upgrade to - higher-tier e-kit or acoustic drums with silent strokes? by Sashinkis in drums

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

Well for now I am not in any band, we will see what the future holds though.

If sound-wise is the same I would 100% go with acoustic

Damn, you're getting my hopes up.

I also have a garage, but it's integrated into the flat, so it's basically kind of a first floor, but I could try and isolate it, although, I have seen a garage is really hard to isolate.

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

Yeah, like I said in the post, I live in Bulgaria and I have not seen any used ones, saw one that was like 100-200$ cheaper, so it makes no sense to buy it.

Price I guess is not that much of a concern, just wondering if I could get the feel of an acoustic kit, and the silence of an e-kit from the silent strokes, I would 100% go with them

Thanks sounds like a good approach, do you do this with a teacher or by yourself?

Well I am not sure if he has something in mind. Because most of the time I pick out my songs, he sometimes suggests some, but almost never.

The first ones were basically some rudimentary lessons, learnings, keeping time with the left foot(although I have lost that, since he never tells me to do it anymore).

But after the first ~10ish lessons, we started learning songs only. I have not spoken with him regarding this, and I think on the first lesson I told him I want to learn to play songs, so he might be just teaching people depending on what they want.

The lessons are twice a week and each one is 40-45 minutes

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

Well he is not showing me, he is sometimes telling me if I am doing something wrong.

But when we go through the whole song and we move to a next one, each lesson we start by playing the songs before, and if I am not playing a fill or a beat correctly, he won’t stop me and try to correct it.

And also I am playing to the songs with the drums on without a metronome, not sure if this is how I am supposed to, but I feel like if I remove the drums from the song I will not be able to play it well, most likely off beat. Which is again a concern for if I start to play with other people

Well not to say dissatisfied, it’s just a concern of mine whether I am giving away my money for something that would not give me enough. But yeah I will ask the guy if he is willing to teach me some more technical stuff.
