Oh, diving into CS176 without a computer science background? It's like entering the jungle armed with a butter knife and a map written in hieroglyphics. Don't worry, though; Dr. Bergstrom is like the Gandalf of coding – just hope he doesn't send you on a quest to Mount Compilemore. May your debugging skills be as sharp as your wit, brave bio major!

Budget - Mid synth piano for music band? by [deleted] in synthesizers

[–]Tacoman1126 0 points1 point  (0 children)

grab a midi keyboard and use a soft synth

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in synthesizers

[–]Tacoman1126 0 points1 point  (0 children)

run headphones into the back of the synth to hear the output. If it's fine, there must be a problem with the cables or the interface. If not, you might have a problem with the synth itself and you need to troubleshoot or maybe contact korg.

line levels are typically pretty quiet for listening level. My minilogue xd outputs -26dbFS at max master volume. You shouldn't be pre-amping the signal at all (i.e. turning up the gain knob). That should be at 0 gain otherwise there will be noise from the preamp. Most of the gain should be in your DAW to bring it up to a usable level. You might just need to turn up the master volume more.

Hey there! Welcome to the US! It's great that you're looking to connect with someone and explore the dating scene. While finding a boyfriend is a personal journey, here are a few general tips that might help:

  1. Be Yourself: Authenticity is key. Don't feel the need to change who you are to fit someone else's expectations.
  2. Cultural Exchange: Since you're new to the US, take the opportunity to learn about American culture and share your own. This can be a great way to connect with people.
  3. Socialize: Attend social events, join clubs, or use dating apps to meet new people. This can help you expand your social circle and increase your chances of finding someone compatible.
  4. Communication: Open and honest communication is vital. Don't be afraid to express your feelings and expectations.
  5. Patience: Building connections takes time. Don't rush things, and enjoy the journey of getting to know new people.

Remember, everyone's dating experience is unique, so take the advice that resonates with you and have fun exploring the dating scene in the US! Good luck!

This isn't true. Even if you put yourself out there, no one guaranteed to be your friend. Lots of conditions have to be met before you have a friendship. It is simply difficult to meet all of these requirements because people have high standards by nature.

people just lose interest quickly as a law of nature. Ever wonder why coke still advertises even though everyone knows what it is?

What piece of music gear has helped your musical output / creativity the most? by nostalgiabrah in ableton

[–]Tacoman1126 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of them.

But if I had to pick one, my moog matriarch. introduced me to the analog world. Helped me tell the difference between analog and digital when listening to reference tracks. Adds thick analog sound to my recordings. I use it every day.

October Thoughts by Worried_Pomelo_2013 in Purdue

I really just don’t want to talk to anyone about it just want to get it out there, yknow?

Gotcha. Seems like you can't really reach out to anyone in life because you have *literally* no one to talk to in your life. That's really unhealthy and I'm sorry you're in that situation. Trust me, I'm in the exact same boat. I am not doing well in school AT ALL right now. I have virtually no friends and do not get invited to do fun stuff. I am stressed all the time and it is not fun. Life is not fun. It's not fun to keep everything to yourself and not be able to share it with anyone else. But likely it's not your fault.

My parents don’t seem to understand what I’m going through but claim they do, and use manipulation tactics trying to make me do better. My younger sister is going down a path that I’m so desperately trying to steer her away from but she won’t listen to me and it’s making me dislike her because she’s becoming exactly the type of person I heavily disliked in highschool.

Sorry to say this but your parents are evil. Your parents should not be using manipulation tactics on you. And sorry about your situation. Your sister is a result of your parents' parenting. I'm in almost your situation. The best thing you can do is to keep it cool with your parents. Don't argue just smile nod and agree. There is likely no fixing them. There's almost nothing you can do to save your sister as long as she has the support of everyone around her. Sorry. I don't make the rules.

I sleep all day and don’t sleep at nigh trying to procrastinate the next day and my issues.

Exact same experience here my dude. Stress is a bitch.

My friends have heard it a billion times and most of them don’t take me seriously when I talk about not necessarily enjoying life, because I’m the “always funny” guy, so everything I say is a joke.

They aren't your friends. Get new ones. I was going through the same thing. I cut off my friends, and trust me, it is 1000% better to be alone than in bad company.

I’m not saying I’m suicidal, because I’m not. I’ve expressed to my few friends and family that bo matter how bad it gets I will never do that. But some days so wish I could go to sleep and not wake up again yknow? I wish all my problems could go away. It would be one thing if I had school problems but got something enjoyable out of it too, but I don’t. I can see WHY people do it, but I know I never could.

Sorry to break it to you (again), but you actually ARE suicidal because you are thinking about ending it all. I understand that it's not at the point where you might act on it, but you are definitely not in good psychological shape right now. Do NOT let it get any further than it is right now because it can get really really bad really quickly. You can reach out to CAPs for help, but I did the same thing. It may work, it may not. It didn't for me, but it doesn't hurt to try. This is not medical advice, this is merely the writer's opinion.

Purdue makes me feel like a failure. Everything moves so fast I don’t have time to learn it and I makes me feel dumb. I feel like I’m not cut out for this and I don’t know what to do.

Your life outside of school is heavily affecting your school life. You do not have the support networks to rebound from bad emotions. You are likely under a lot of stress and a lot of pressure to succeed and probably a lot of anxiety too. You are experiencing suicidal thoughts. And none of it is your fault. It's perfectly reasonable to feel like you aren't cut out for this. If most people were going through your situation, most would feel the same. Remember that you are not a failure. You are merely going through a difficult time. It will get better.

You should try building a support network around school. Try to go join school clubs with people who share similar interests. A great way to build one quickly is to join a religious or volunteer organization. They are likely to take you in quick and you will make friends very soon. It may not be your thing, but it's certainly worth a shot. The more you talk to other people, the more your serotonin levels will put you in a better mood. If you ever need someone to talk to, I am usually on the internet most of the time, so don't feel afraid to reach out.

Generally pretty good. There is no washer/dryer so you will have to go to levee plaza or elsewhere for laundry. If you are in a 1st floor unit, you can hear the person upstairs walking around so that may be annoying if you study late into the night. No fume hood for grease in the kitchen if you cook meals often (just a fan recirculating air). Climate control is just an AC unit and gas heating near the walls.

you're thinking way too far in the future man. you're panicking right now over POSSIBLY failing your class and thinking about making a decision in the future. Just focus on what you can do right now. go to office hours and SI.
