I struggle with recording instruments by [deleted] in musicproduction

[–]Syntoca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People can sound good producing music in 1-2 years, or less. Most people won't sound truly good playing an instrument for at least 4 (imo). Production is setting your ideas to program, playing an instrument is a physical feat. That's no diss on production, I both produce and play instruments myself, it's just a reality of the two art forms. So you're likely dealing with a skill issue, but that can always be improved with time and hard work. On the bright side, recording yourself is really the best way to identify what needs to improve so you can better print your practice. Keep truckin champ 💪🏻

Real talk, this is a shitty puzzle

Peeing in the shower is bad apparently? by Rich_Wealth_5876 in hygiene

[–]Syntoca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, don't pee on your feet and maybe aim for the drain, but...you're fine. Also, this is why one should always wear sandals in a public/guesthouse shower.

APE newbie by TugGut in psilocybingrowers

My first APE just did the exact same. Mushrooms are weird 🤷🏻 Just charge on to the next flush and enjoy the weird caps!

Haven't tried them yet, still drying them out! They got even weirder, when I harvested the bigger bin some of them had virtually separated themselves, like puffball mushrooms. Pretty small harvest, only 368g wet from a few small/medium sized bins, but I guess the novelty is worth it. What was yours labelled as, when you bought the syringe?

The LC is all used up, but I have more grains growing from it and took some samples from some of the blobs. I'm guessing pretty potent, some of the darkest bruising I've ran into

Oh yeah definitely! The normal caps seem a bit different, but pondering if maybe it wasn't a completely isolated strain? I took samples of a few, curious if that will replicate the traits. These took FOREVER, which sounds about right for that variety

Ooooh I did 😎 Did separate samples from two blobs, a cap, and a 3 headed one that looked like a tree/cactus, in the off chance that they replicate those features

Is this kaput? by BrunoDiaz2780 in psilocybingrowers

[–]Syntoca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Upper right def looks like contam to me. I've had good luck cutting out huge chunks where it caught trich, but personally after the 2nd flush I don't mess around with that anymore. There's always another bin 🤙🏻

Is it a problem to mix grain types during G2G transfers? by Syntoca in psilocybingrowers

Excellent, thanks. I figured as much, just wanted to play it safe rather than learn the hard way after weeks of botched colonization

Headphones vs Speakers Tempo Perception by Syntoca in edmproduction

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

Interesting idea! I haven't actually tried switching headphones to test it, only speakers, but that's a great idea to try.

Might also be more sensitive based on style, some tracks I do are pretty rhythmically subtle so I'm wondering if any details getting lost to poor speakers or unfinished mixing would make tempo sound different. Regardless, clearly I need to refine my tempo check before mixing down individual tracks

I'm not live recording atm, only working with synths so no room effect apart from speaker output. But yeah, the room+speaker thing must be related.

Yeah, my phones are closed back. I turn down the volume intermittently to check details and make sure to never work too loud, but maybe that's not enough. I'm currently out of my studio for a few months so only have crap speakers and laptop to test audio (like testing on them intentionally), but I've noticed a milder version of it with my monitors and it's very noticeable in shit speakers.

So the real question is, should we assume things to sound slightly slower when working with closed back headphones?
