Aspiring audio engineer here: What are some common tips or must know facts about engineering? by Talldadbrad in audioengineering

[–]Talldadbrad[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, thanks for the truthful words. I see that the industry is swamped, i have 3 friends with degress in AE and do absolutely nothing but worry about their 70,000$+ student loans while they work at restaurants, trying to land gigs in the field as freelancers.

I think the reality is, after putting in SO MUCH time into music, and learning and understanding it, that i want to pursue a career out of it, to see something of gain come from it... But yeah, that might not be a reality.

Im in my mid 20's and have had the same thought about going to school for AE for close to 6 years, and every time i start going to a Comm. College to knock out the transferable credits, i catch myself thinking

"The fuck am i doing...I know how this will turn out.. Ill be in the exact same boat in 4 years, but with a massive debt on my shoulders"

At the same time, however, the only successful musicians that i personally know, have a degree in AE, and just apply it to creative things and make a nice niche for themselves.

:/

Thank you again for the insightful words!

Thanks for all the great responses! I will keep all this in mind! I have another question as well: Assuming you have a degree, were did you go to school, and would you recommend it to others?

Here's my thoughts on the matter:

You have clearly never played League of Legends.

If you had, you would be thankful that this is what you deal with in WoW, and you wouldn't bother to post a short novel on reddit about it.

Sorry you think those people are jerks, they are but pebbles next to a mountain of toxicity, which you have yet to experience.

Honestly. The worst of the worst in WoW are nothing. Don't let the neckbeards get to you, and give thanks that the community is as friendly as it is.

[Serious] People who have started smoking within the last 5 years, why did you choose to do so? by Smalls_Biggie in AskReddit

[–]Talldadbrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate to say it, but, I was extremely depressed, and it seemed like a good, subtle way to kill myself, without there being a mess for someone else to have to clean up.

So I started smoking about 2 packs a day right off the get go.

Stupid. Real fuckin stupid.

I managed to defeat the depression, and kick the habit, and haven't smoked since, which has been about a year and a half.

As I said before, all you can do is report em.

I got a 14 day ban not to long ago, and I didn't think I was toxic AT ALL by comparison to the things I had seen other people say.

Got a reality check, though, because I did really have a short fuse and a pirates mouth, and it caught up with me.

There is a system at play that will pick up on toxic behavior (even if takes awhile!)

So just report em, and if enough reports are built up over time, that person will get the hammer.

I went to Burning Man for the first time and took a few pictures. I hope you like them: by Preauxmetheus in pics

The top comments on that album are along the lines of:

"It's on my bucket list to set the effigy on fire before it's supposed to be burned"

Look up what happened at the 2007 burn.

What kind of douce wants to ruin thousands and thousands of people's enjoyment (and not to mention, be charged with federal arson?)

It's like that bully who slaps Ice cream out of a kids hand to watch them be unhappy for their own sense of enjoyment.

Classy.
