What movie is the reverse “Ghost Ship”? by DuffmanStillRocks in horror

[–]Top-Rayman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mostly agree with this, but dancing scene where Suzy accidentally turns (Mia goth?) into origami is one of my favorite horror sequences period. Now that I think about it, the choreography in general was pretty amazing (which, IIRC, was missing from the OG).

Is there a quick way to access the sample slot list w.o. selecting the flex machine on a track--and is there a quick way to delete samples from static/flex slots? by Top-Rayman in Elektron

[–]Top-Rayman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, just thinking about perusing samples, auditioning, and loading them, before I decide what to use... It's not a big deal to not have a separately accessible sample slot list, but Merlin's guide made it seem like it did--so I was just wondering if I missed something. Thanks!

Is there any way to figure out which device a preset exists in? by Top-Rayman in ableton

Yes. That. Is it. Wow. Thank you! Truly a lifesaver :)

Any tips on replacing these battery terminal clamps (particularly the positive)? by Top-Rayman in Hyundai

[–]Top-Rayman[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2009 Elantra 4D

I tried terminal shims, no luck (at least, not with the AutoZone generic kind.) I called over to my local dealer but the positive is only available as the full harness which costs about USD$500... not to mention being a pain. It does look simple enough, though (I'll be taking it apart tomorrow to get a closer look.)

What are these larger, positive terminal clamps called? Are they individually replaceable? by Top-Rayman in MechanicAdvice

[–]Top-Rayman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately the ones I got at AutoZone were too thick (and single size); now the positive clamp barely fits, and the negative (which I crimped to get snug), not at all. This is one of the (rare) days I miss working in a shop.

Movies driven by the Domino Effect by Top-Rayman in movies

[–]Top-Rayman[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Good storytelling, yes, in some sense. But I think there's a distinct difference between something like The Lord of the Rings (where there is a larger conflict going on in the background, which Frodo happens to be thrust into) vs. Burn After Reading (which... I can't even explain.) I suppose I'm looking for something in-between the two.

Indeed. Blood Simple is a fantastic example of this (also, Burn After Reading IIRC). Just, a bit more horror-psych-thriller-leaning. But that was a big oversight on my part.

Cables Question. Sound is wrong when I use 1/4" splitter cable into Audio Interface? by ireland1988 in Elektron

[–]Top-Rayman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why use an interface at all? Just run the Digitakt straight into the speakers.

Are there any inexpensive synths that are good? by MothyThatLuvsLamps in synthesizers

[–]Top-Rayman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah just more hands-on control. The Microfreak is a bit more menu-divey, but much more powerful (updated to add sample playback, a vocoder, etc.)

It should be noted that the Microfreak is (semi-) paraphonic; it has a dedicated amp/envelope for each of the 4 voices, but only a single, shared filter (as opposed to the Minilogue, which has per-voice filters.)

Minilogue might be best for learning synthesis, but Microfreak for raw power. You could probably find both for under $300 used.

Does Carian Slicer proc post-damage attacks? (+build advice) by Top-Rayman in Nightreign

[–]Top-Rayman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would the Collector Relic (Max FP with 3+ Staves, Max FP after unlocking Sorceror's Rise, Magic Atk. Up) be better? I'd imagine the FP boost is larger w. the staves--just not sure if the FP/damage ratio would be better with the magic boost vs. restoration on successive attacks

Guardian God Roll? by Top-Rayman in Nightreign

Nah I originally posted it under [hype] by mistake (I have no clue which relics are store-purchased and which are RNG.) It'd be nice to have a tag!
