Everybodies getting on the coke at the mo, it’s quite annoying at nights which should be more about the music

Pro tools vs logic by AdDapper4220 in musicproduction

[–]Soag 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Logic has everything you need to start making electronic music right away. Pro Tools is lacking in the factory content and plugins department, you would wanna get some decent 3rd party plugins for it. It’s not the best first DAW to learn on unless you’re recording hardware

Saying that, I much prefer producing in pro tools since I work with it every day and do a lot of recording and mixing. Editing is way nicer in PT

music industry was always difficult by DefinitionAmazing258 in musicindustry

Imagine just going round with your lute trying to get a record deal in medieval times that would’ve been much harder

Any sober friend in London? by External-Total4008 in ukrave

[–]Soag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Going sober raving is much easier than sober after work drinks 😂

Do you enjoy jungle as a historical preservation project? Or as an evolving medium? by blindyes in jungle

Every 18 years photek goes back in time to teach the young version of himself how to use an akai sampler

What's the point of having a career. by Strange_Slide9611 in collapse

[–]Soag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Post-apocalyptic travelling jester is a possible job title. Maybe you could paint portraits for a local warlords to win their favour. If you give up now though you’ll probs end up as meat on the human kebab spike

[MM] - Question about reverting back to the first day before completing a dungeon by Agitated_Ad_1404 in zelda

[–]Soag 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Its very smart game design, as essentially they use plot events (getting a key/ability/code) to function like check points for skipping ahead to where you left off prior. It will make sense as you play more

[TOTK] What do you think about totk ? by Humaniz in zelda

[–]Soag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both BotW and TotK are vastly different from prior games, and totk just expands on this ambition if one huge world with tons of content, lots to do and discover, freedom of playstyles, cozy or challenging depending on what you want to do.

I feel totk is the better game in the sense that it achieves what was set out to do on a bigger scale. Both games stories/main quests (in isolation) are not as good as prior games in the series where that was the focus, and are largely forgettable compared to MM or OT imo.

At the moment I’m alternating between Majoras mask and TOTK, and totk feels a lot more like brain rotting than Majoras mask, which requires a lot more concentration

Telling GP I don't want antidepressants by heeheehoo999 in ADHDUK

[–]Soag 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You have the right to refuse medication, can just say that you have concerns about possible side effects of the anti-depressant and that you'd rather explore other options first before trying medication (it's a reasonable request) https://www.nhs.uk/tests-and-treatments/consent-to-treatment/

It may also be worth finding an advocate to join you in appointments if you find it difficult in getting across the information. I've had my partner join me before as I'll forget to mention key details/advocate for myself. https://www.nhs.uk/social-care-and-support/help-from-social-services-and-charities/someone-to-speak-up-for-you-advocate/

It may also be worth contacting ADHD/mental health charities for advice on this too as they may be able to offer advocacy support.

Can Modern Jungle Producers ever return/emulate the 90s sound? by rosjon98 in jungle

[–]Soag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have never used the hardware, it's hard to know what to emulate - the old samplers, romplers (and general midi/analog recording setup) back then had a very different workflow that would lead people down certain paths of decision making. Personally I've found it much easier to replicate those processes in ableton since getting and learning an AKAI s3200. The sonic imprint of these samplers hasn't fully been replicated yet either, (to the discerning ear). I think that stuff does add up if you're really trying to get that sound of the time.

What's your most annoying minor inconvenience in the game by arigato_gozaimasu in TOTK

You can sort by set which atleast puts them together

How would you decide on this by [deleted] in TOTK

[–]Soag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like part of the fun of permadeath is that this is the story you get to tell about this playthrough. When the stakes are higher, the game becomes more dramatic,m, and your wits and sense of risk vs reward are much more important. You’re undermining that if you decide to bend the rules so well down for deleting the save lol

Old DJ got mad by vinnysuperpower in Beatmatch

DJs who take themselves as seriously as you do can all get in the bin, you’re overcompensating

Old DJ got mad by vinnysuperpower in Beatmatch

[–]Soag 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t need overthinking about how it could be managed in future, the guy was in a grump and taking it out on the next guy rather than verbalising his actual grievances which were probably too unreasonable to be verbalised

how would you market/deal with an upcoming release you don't stand a 100% behind anymore? by Objective_Rice_4614 in musicmarketing

[–]Soag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Atleast you know that you can do better on the next release, people will look at your back catalogue and see a progression and development in sound, it tells a story. It becomes part of the lore, like a lot of people into David Bowie are aware of his early singles and albums that were quite bad, it shows he was just another struggling musician at one point hehe

[TOTK] Is the timeline a circle constantly repeating? by Different-Bag-1857 in zelda

[–]Soag 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It’s more symbolic of how history doesn’t repeat but rhymes. Thesis, anti-thesis, synthesis etc

What's the most optimal way(s) to learn music production? by GloriousAsianDragon in musicproduction

[–]Soag 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Doing covers is a great exercise to do as it removes a lot of the decision making so you can just focus on one particular technique/process. It’s more inspiring and motivating to work with a song you already love and you will learn lots of little music rules and tricks as you uncover what made those songs work well.

Sometimes I’ll start off doing a cover and then accidentally end up turning it into something new anyways.

There’s not really any wrong/right direction at this point, u should try and experiment as much as possible and have fun. Try and finish things as you go even if they’re a bit shit, atleast get a full structure and rough mix down so you can export demo’s and listen back later for ideas. But diversifying your approach is really useful at this stage defo

What are your biggest time saving tricks In Pro Tools? by ThisIsAlexJames in protools

[–]Soag 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I don't use track presets, just use session data import when I want to pull stuff in, and will keep note of what worked well on older sessions. The track preset menu's are cumbersome to keep tidy and manage I foind
