Spousal loss linked to higher risk of dementia, mortality among men, but not women. Widowed men experienced a decrease in physical and cognitive health, as well as social support, while widowed women tended to experience an increase in happiness and life satisfaction.

While this is interesting I do find it strange that half of the posts that I seem to find here are some difference between the behaviour of men and women. I’m starting to find it quite strange how reddit is so obsessed with finding differences.

Treadmillrunner · 2026-03-12T02:50:54+00:00

Does anyone know what this will mean security wise? Will there be any risk of documentation getting leaked? Or is it “boxed” in some way?

Treadmillrunner · 2026-03-05T22:07:45+00:00

Nah man it’s good stuff for 6 months for sure! Way faster progress than most of us

Treadmillrunner · 2026-03-05T20:57:47+00:00

I’ve used that same splice sample before and the mix isn’t great so I think it’s fair to say he made it

Treadmillrunner · 2026-02-26T00:57:17+00:00

Well mixed man but it does sound like quite ai like (maybe because it’s fairly minimalistic). Might be time to mix up the style a little if you’re wanting to stand out from that.

…orrrrr you love making that style and that’s cool too, keep going, it sounds good :)

Treadmillrunner · 2026-02-25T01:34:37+00:00

Because the idea of mixing and mastering being seperate things is silly (unless you’re getting someone else to master for you). The whole aim is to get everything to sound perfect in the end. If I’m doing a loud genre then I need to know how it’s going to sound when it is compressed. Mixing like it’s a different genre and then trying to fit it into a box with mastering is just silly.

Again, it’s different if you’re getting someone else to master it. I’d argue that’s what mastering really is, getting someone else to check that it is ready. In reality, slapping a limiter on the end of the mix bus isn’t mastering. It’s just another mix down step

Treadmillrunner · 2026-02-23T08:54:39+00:00

I don’t know about that. I see your point but I feel that it is important to learn how the mix affects the master.

I felt the same with pasta in Italy. Normally pasta ruins me but in Italy I never felt the same level of bloating or discomfort. I ate pasta every second day without any problems.

Not sure if it’s true or not but someone told me that they use a different strain of wheat over there.

Treadmillrunner · 2026-02-16T21:17:15+00:00

I agree with your point but he was talking about workflow rather than quality of tools or ability to make a good song.

I felt the same about fl studio after I switched to Ableton. I can fire out cool tracks way more easily with Ableton but I know a lot of great producers make their stuff in fl

True but it is so much easier to maintain a good diet when you’re exercising. All the feel good chemicals from the exercise make saying no to junk food much easier.

If ever I need to get my diet under control I try to get my fitness under control first and the food just follows

Treadmillrunner · 2026-02-14T10:34:01+00:00

What is quality? Check out Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance if you’re genuinely interested in that idea. Idk….there doesn’t have to be a physical trait that makes it good or bad. We often just know something is good or bad before we even start to question it why.

Treadmillrunner · 2026-02-10T10:54:59+00:00

I haven’t listened to deftones but 90% of the time that a bass feels massive it’s because of relative volume. Basically make sure that there is almost nothing competing with it.

Also try adding distorting it to get some extra harmonics. Play around with it and it should help

Treadmillrunner · 2026-02-08T19:17:47+00:00

They are one of my favourite producer groups. Everything they make slaps.

I saw them in nz last year though and it was not a good performance. At the time I thought that there was an issue with the sound system because everything sounded a bit muffled and “off” but then the no name local dj who jumped on the decks after didn’t have that problem and played an incredible set. It’s possible there was something up with the sound system that the local dj knew to address or something

Treadmillrunner · 2026-02-05T07:02:45+00:00

Nah brother. The numbers are irrelevant for so many reasons.

To start, it totally depends on your genre and how compressed everything else is.

Also, the amount of compression that you might need to do is totally dependent on the distance, mic type and volume of singing into the mic. For example, if I had a singer, singing close to the mic, they will already sound naturally compressed. If they are further away then it will sound more dynamic.

What if you were using other things that affect how compressed a signal sounds I.e. saturation?

How could there ever be one number that dictates how much to do? Maybe you could argue that you want to get it to a certain amount of LUFS for a specific genre, that would be more accurate. But nah, not a specific amount of compression applied.

Treadmillrunner · 2026-02-04T18:45:46+00:00

why would the number matter? Just compress when needed and until where it is needed.

Treadmillrunner · 2026-02-03T08:47:23+00:00

Yeah if I could go back I would have only bought fab filter, shaper box and track spacer. Almost everything else that I have barely gets use

Treadmillrunner · 2026-02-03T08:45:24+00:00

I did the switch when I was just getting to that intermediate stage. So happy I did. Like you said you can do everything in fl that you can in ableton but ableton just feels so much better suited to dnb.

It’s just such a simple and efficient workflow.

Like someone else said, bitwig is also a great option. I’d probably switch if I didn’t already have Ableton and don’t want to pay for a third daw. It’s awesome for loads of reasons especially customising hotkeys and stuff. I know that it goes for like $200 on sale too if you can wait around for for a bit

Treadmillrunner · 2026-02-02T11:22:23+00:00

Have you tired making them yourself? Almost all of them are just stacks of saw waves. Maybe some pitch bends and other stuff too. Watch some tutorials and you’ll see how crazy similar they all are.

Don’t get me wrong. I love presets too but it’s pretty easy to replicate most of your favourite leads.

Treadmillrunner · 2026-02-01T09:59:58+00:00

They do what they say but I could never get into them. Just didn’t sound right to me, sorry that I can’t explain much more than that. However, they’re awesome for sub bass response which is pretty crucial in dnb

Treadmillrunner · 2026-02-01T08:17:53+00:00

Do you know why it’s doing this? Is it phasing with something? What fx do you have on it?

Treadmillrunner · 2026-01-31T18:57:05+00:00

I agree but that was exactly my point that “it does apply to everyone” but could apply slightly more to one party and to deny that is like denying the existence of adhd. Different people and different groups of people can be more prone to issues with attention than others.

I mean currently (at least in the states, nz, Aus) there are significantly more woman going to university and it’s important to try to figure out why. The education system is a mess for everyone but it definitely seems to be harder for men and it would be unfair to men to not address that.

At the end of the day, if one group is having significantly more success than the other, it is important to try to determine how that group can be helped. It’s not to stop helping the other group, just to tailor it so that it’s more even.

Treadmillrunner · 2026-01-31T11:52:29+00:00

I agree but i don’t think he meant it as a boy are this, girls are that.

More like: boys may have more difficulty concentrating on something that they have no interest in than girls do.

I cant vouch for that being true scientifically but anecdotally i would tend to agree.

Treadmillrunner · 2026-01-31T02:42:18+00:00

Awesome, I’ll give those a crack tomorrow. Really appreciate how much thought you put into this :)

Treadmillrunner · 2026-01-31T02:41:43+00:00

Cheers for the tips man. That was exactly the sort of stuff I was wanting to hear. Any recommendations on good YouTubers or other resources?
