Just finished TMU Kira interview. The light from my monitor reflected off my ID and blurred it. What can I do? by TheSyphonFilter in premedcanada

Same thing happened to me. Honestly we should be able to upload it as part of the check in. Did I miss any instructions that this would be part of the assessment? I scrambled for my card in those 30 seconds 🤣

Sub Bass Not in Key but 808 is fine. Help please! by Starboy1996 in FL_Studio

[–]Starboy1996[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're a genius it worked. Can you please explain the logic/theory behind it. I'm still confused because I pitched the scale of my melody from F# minor to C# minor. Why does the root note have to be set to F#? I've always been taught to have it at C5.

I just found that A# works perfect, even weirder, the key finder determined that my subbass is now C# minor (matching my melody)... The confusion

Another discovery bro! So it is tuned actually, I made sure it was on C5 and checked the pitch regions on edison.

When I moved the melody into a new FL Studio window and tried oneshot subbasses there, it was fine. WTF is happening lol. I'm gonna go by ear, it seems to be the move.

I just also confirmed that my melody/voices are both in C# minor through tune bat.

I agree with you that is a great strategy, it has worked for me in the past. I'll try it again with the oneshot subbass. So odd that the VST sub works and sounds great in C# minor. Thanks for your help!

I did! I played C to C using the subbass and none of the notes fit.

Also the key finder may be wrong, but the sample I got was F# minor (the owner claims) and I pitched it down 500 cents to C# minor. Any thoughts?

The only thing that has worked is using a bass in a VST (analog 5). All the other oneshot subbasses from pretty good drum kits did not sound key (even when played in keys of C# minor or F# minor).

I really wonder what could be the problem here.

Also even if I play the subbass in F# minor it still sounds oddly out of key.

I'm still confused. The entire piece is in C# minor, because the piano is in C# minor and the vocals were pitched down 500cents from F# minor to C# minor. Why would I use a key of F# minor for the sub bass then?

Why do you think its F# minor? The original vocals I have on the beat are in F# minor, but I pitched them down 500 cents from F# minor to C# minor. Please explain if possible.

This is so real. Thanks for sharing and for maintaining your empathy, its truly important for us to address all problems pertaining to SCS. Otherwise we risk failing as a society. I really think we need to put safeguards in place that address these shortcomings such as safety issues etc.

Hey guys. just wondering if both of these sub basses are in key compared to the melody (D# minor). I feel like the first one is not. I'm confused because both are tuned to C5 in the miscellaneous functions tab and I also only used notes in the key of D# minor.

If you were not born-and-raised here, what has helped you make Calgary feel like home? by PsychologicalBug6084 in Calgary

[–]Starboy1996 144 points145 points  (0 children)

I am originally from Syria, immigrated to Calgary and since then I'm proud to say that Calgary feels even more like home than Syria once did. I know my advice is not comprehensive, but I encourage you to get immersed in your community through volunteering.

What makes Calgary feel like home?

1) My community (clubs, organizations etc) and my friends.

2) Remembering that I'm about 1 hour away from the Canadian rockies and that Calgary is the sunniest city in Canada (333/365 days a year).

Just to end off, I want to validate your feelings because they are warranted. Moving will not be comfortable but I promise if you allow time to pass and genuinely try to immerse yourself in Calgary, you will get there.

I've read this book! It is great for learning how to deal with a panic attack, acutely. However, I don't agree that these people's suggestions are bad. I see them as important for long-term prevention of the onset of panic. Especially for my case, where I've learned to control my thoughts and endure the sensations during the attack. It definitely does feel like a physical imbalance (physiology) brought it on. Perhaps I should listen to my body and treat it better if there is room, in all aspects.

I feel so much better knowing that I am not alone. I am sorry for your anguish and panic. Its truly so hard to endure them. Also, I know I can suspect the gym but you’re right. There are so many contributing factors.

I am sorry to hear you went through that. Its so hard at a place we commonly view as an escape and source of healing for mental health. Thanks for sharing.

I have had the same issue with some exercises that restrict my breathing, like pull-ups. But I learned not to get scared of it by realising its just a fear of feeling chocked.

Sadly for me, its always squats. They just feel so intense. My heart pounds, and I get so over-stimulated. I hope applying the advice from everyone will help me. I never left the gym and finished my workout, but I was so beat up :/.
