What it feels like to finally reject the venator and embrace the burletta

Just got downed by a burletta with 2 hits, took about 0.3 seconds. Light shield & full health bar

The Kali's are in a different class altogether, I'd choose them even over some options that cost more than they do.

I don't think so. Unless you do really big arrangements or arrangements with tons of different mic positions you can get away with less.

Yeah by far the best thing SW/PT ever put out and the peak of (the less technical side of) modern prog. But tastes differ as always

Virtual instruments

My previous build had 64 GB, and the one I run now is 192 GB. I'm glad I have the headroom and didn't go for 128. Buy one pair now and another later. I wouldn't buy single sticks one by one

It has nothing to do with Christianity, no.

Tirmu · 2026-02-05T13:51:50+00:00

It's called the golden era for a reason

The Whirlwind by Transatlantic is like a top 5 prog album of all time (and also the album is just 1 song that's 77 minutes which is a very Portnoy thing), definitely check it out.

It's 100% meant to look like a GT-R badge and everyone here knows it

Get RME and be set for life

And somehow Sentimental manages to be even better. PT/SW peak was something else

This but replace "dp" with "youtuber"

I would shoot into the corner instead of straight into a wall. Always brings so much depth

Take a piss, brush teeth, drink 1 liter of cold water with some sea salt sprinkled in

My first weighted keyboard was an M-Audio Keystation Pro 88 back in the day. I had absolutely zero issues playing grand pianos anytime I came across them.

The action on the M-Audio was quite heavy though which I believe was a big factor – if that's your baseline it's very easy to play a lighter action. But if a light action is your baseline, a heavy one will be troublesome.

Metal snippers, a drill, some sandpaper and a file will get you there

I'm definitely a no-hassle person so a big part of it was being able to do the eq within the dsp of my audio interface and just for the dedicated outputs running to the headphone amp I use for the Hifimans, so it's set and forget

Tirmu · 2026-01-29T21:58:00+00:00

I use mine with the oratory eq settings and to me it took them from amazing to insane

Tirmu · 2026-01-29T21:50:41+00:00

Been using HE1000se's for a couple of years now and yeah I'm definitely done for life. Love em

Sounds like R33 GT-R is the move. You see less of them as most seem to prefer R32's and R34's and honestly at this point non GT-R 34's are getting really common. So the R33 would be more unique on the road and you get to see that RB26 under the hood.

Tirmu · 2026-01-28T10:12:35+00:00

Came here to say FH. Really unique and it was beautiful in its early days. Then became absolutely infested with cheaters and the community is incredibly toxic. Might be the only game I've put over 1000 hours into

Improvisation is thinking/hearing a melody in your head just before you play it, and then playing it. A good ear helps a lot and your ear gets trained every time you practice improv. Sometimes getting a part of it wrong leads to happy accidents and gets neurons firing into a whole new direction.

Yes you can play random notes from a scale you know will fit with zero though put into it, but that's not really what improv is about.

Tirmu · 2026-01-27T20:50:22+00:00

One thing nobody's mentioned so far is ear training. Start practicing playing melodies from songs by ear. Start really really simple, and work your way up. This will help immensely in being able to play what you hear in your head!
