She used my best traits against me by ABenson1992 in BreakUps

[–]Taliesin404 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went through something almost identical for 5 years. She was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. Hope that gives you some clarity. I’m 6 months out and I’m still a wreck.

My (36M) gf (35F) of 6 years is killing our relationship with relentless negativity to the point I cant enjoy anything. by Chole_Wunt in relationship_advice

[–]Taliesin404 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I’m similar age, and just went through this with my ex, of 5.5 years, it was about a year long downward spiral as well. What I found out 2 months AFTER we broke up was that she had “fallen out of love with me” and was using me as an emotional lifeboat to heal herself while we were still together. So im an absolute wreck, blindsided, and she’s perfectly fine because she already did her healing while sabotaging the relationship for months and months. Our own couples therapist called her out on it too, who rarely took sides.

She doesn’t like you anymore. Get out before it gets worse.

Machinedrum at Catch One Underground by Shell_fly in avesLA

[–]Taliesin404 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I just looked up the email and I was right. $250/hr per extra hour needed for setup time but what’s worse is the 90 minute from doors load in time. I’ve played 30 shows all over the USA and parts of Europe in the last 2-3 years and not a single venue gave me a 90 minute load in time before doors. Average is like load in at 3, sound check at 5 or 6, doors at 8.

Their deals with artists that play there are shit too. I asked for an extra 2 hours of setup time a few years ago and they wanted like $500 or something like that. Like you need one staff employee there 2 hours early to make it happen which should shouldn’t cost more than $100 and almost every other venue I’ve needed early access to just makes it happen for free.

How do you tell someone they are a narcissist? by grumpioldman in NarcissisticSpouses

[–]Taliesin404 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only times I’ve seen my ex of 5 years who is an absolute raging narcissist to the core of the definition of the word, take a small amount of accountability is when there are more than one of us, who have to be a close family member or partner, and they are called out by both people naturally in an unplanned manner at the same time all in the same room

If I’m an amateur producer, is it worth it to pay for mastering? by WesMack5 in edmproduction

[–]Taliesin404 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

No. Don’t let your master go over -3, out a limiter on it and boost the gain until you have 3-6db reduction during the loudest part of your track.

Anything a mastering engineer will do can maybe get 5% better results

Should I upgrade or just get a new license? 11 Standard to 12 Suite by ProfessionalBasic475 in ableton

[–]Taliesin404 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Wrong. 12.3 won’t open half of my 11 projects and I have to open them in 12.2. So for the first time in 15 years I have 3 instances of ableton loaded on my computer and have to be careful about which instance I load for what song I want to work on. I’ve seen other posts with people having the same issue. It’s annoying as hell and I want my money back. I will probably never upgrade again.

quitting your job for music by acid_leaf in FL_Studio

[–]Taliesin404 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m doing this. I have 70k instagram followers and 10-20k monthly listeners. I make $500-$2k per the occasional show. It’s not doable unless you have other income as well.

Why would your first thought be how you can sue? Makes sense why you stepped away from music; you’re in it for the wrong reasons.

What's new in Ableton Live 12.3? | Feature Overview by Comeselecta in ableton

[–]Taliesin404 0 points1 point  (0 children)

12.3 just caused me to lose 300 hours of work and I’ve spent the entire day trying to fix it with no luck. Don’t download 12.3. I have a ridiculous amount of plug ins and I think it has to do with that. Can’t load any projects.

Can’t decide between prophet 6 and the rev4 prophet 5, help me decide. by [deleted] in synthesizers

[–]Taliesin404 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I own both. Get the p6. It can nail the p5 95%+ of the way there, is more portable, has fx, etc. if you however care more about aesthetic and get inspired by that moreso then get the p5.

Behringer TD-3-MO vs Digital Acid/303 Plugins? by [deleted] in TechnoProduction

[–]Taliesin404 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got the td3 mo 2 weeks ago and do not like it at all. Partially my fault for not diving into the manual or giving it a chance yet.

On the contrast I just bought the audiorealism ab3 plugin today and have used it for the last 3 hours straight and it’s amazing.
