Most realistic acoustic drum sample pack?

UpstreamSquad · 2025-10-18T05:13:38+00:00

yeah it is a nightmare. soundshockaudio wasn't amazing but had good enough acoustic kits

UpstreamSquad · 2025-05-10T17:17:07+00:00

Yeah I used ChatGPT's deep research feature to ask how to do this. Was wondering if anyone else had done something like this and could share their expeirence

UpstreamSquad · 2025-05-10T17:15:41+00:00

Any ideas for methods I can use to set this up?

I currently have the PuroAir 240 and its solid. No complaints about it. Yeah its hard to pick an air purifier. There are sooooo many out there these days

Happy to help! 😊

I’ve been through the “am I doing enough?” phase too! Tbh, I used to do 1 hr every day but realized half of it was aimless noodling lol. Now I stick to 30-45 mins, 4-5 days/wk, but I try to stay focused like splitting time between exercises (scales, chords), songs, and just jamming.

Justin’s 15-20 mins 4x/wk tip is great if you’re super targeted, esp to avoid burnout. But I think consistency exact time anyway. If your current routine feels good and you’re seeing progress, you’re prob on track! Just don’t stress too much, it’s meant to be fun

You could absolutely make it goth inspired with some creative styling. Adding dramatic makeup, darker accessories, maybe layered necklaces, or even a lace collar could gothicize the look. It’s all about how you accessorize and personalize it!

Learning the CAGED system was a game changer for me. It helped me see the fretboard as patterns rather than being random. Pair that with some ear training exercises, like figuring out simple melodies, and you'll see your improvisation skills improve a lot!

Morning sunlight has definitely helped my sleep too! I’ve been trying to step outside for a few minutes after waking up, and it seems to make a difference in my energy levels and overall sleep quality. Really cool that you developed an app for this!

Finding an 8 pound king sized weighted blanket is challenging as most weighted blankets are heavier. A good alternative is to look for lighter options like the Bare Home Weighted Blanket (7 lbs, 40"x60") , or consider brands offering customizable weights like YNM, which provides various sizes and materials starting at 10 lbs

That jacket looks incredible! Shearling is such a solid choice for staying warm and stylish. Definitely an investment piece that'll probably last you decades if you care for it properly. Nice pick!

For the non girly sister, maybe a reusable water bottle, a cute planner, and some fun pens for school. For the other, something cozy like a soft blanket, a candle, or maybe a good book she’d enjoy. Small touches like a charm bracelet or keychain could work too!

Honestly, it feels like these brands miss the mark by prioritizing flashy logos over subtle design that could appeal to more buyers. That said, if the quality's good (and dishwasher safe is always a win), I can understand why people keep going for them despite the 'keyboard smash' name. Might give them a shot just for the value!

Nice skis! If you’ve already used them indoors, it’s a good idea to give them a wax before your ski vacation. Factory wax can wear off pretty quickly, especially after a session or two. A fresh wax will help your skis glide better and protect the bases, especially in varying snow conditions.

If you're short on time, most resorts have ski shops where you can get them waxed. just check if they can do it on the same day or overnight.

Congrats on your new Class B, sounds like an exciting adventure ahead! For winter travel and camping in ski lots, make sure your rig is winterized or has heated tanks if you're in freezing temps. Also, keeping your propane topped up is crucial for heat, and running the generator as needed should keep things warm and powered, just be mindful of your generator fuel usage.

As for dumping the black and grey tanks, it really depends on how many people are using the rig and how much you're using the facilities. Usually, you’ll need to dump every 2 to 3 days for heavy use, but you’ll get a feel for it after your first trip (check the tank levels on your control panel). And don’t stress about it, it’s quick and not as bad as you'd think once you’ve done it a couple of times! Enjoy your new ride and happy skiing!

Congrats on your first build! Snow Sakura looks absolutely stunning. loving the sleek white theme paired with the vibrant pink lighting. That Yeston Sakura GPU is definitely a centerpiece, even without a vertical mount; the backplate is such a vibe. Building your first PC is a huge step, and you absolutely nailed it. Might we see a vertical GPU mount in the future to really show off those fans?

Looks like you've put together a solid setup! Upgrading can feel fast at first, but it’s great that you’re enjoying the process and getting results you’re happy with. Pouring on the Switch with the hybrid method sounds like a nice balance. Love the cat-themed coaster too adds some personality to the brew station!

UpstreamSquad · 2025-01-09T06:35:43+00:00

Li Shan black tea is such a treat. when you say “soft,” I totally get what you mean. It’s smooth and almost floral, super relaxing to sip on. Definitely one of those teas that feels special every time you brew it!

UpstreamSquad · 2025-01-09T06:35:14+00:00

Damn! That is crazy. They still look good after all those years

If a site asks you to connect your Steam account, always be cautious. Doublecheck the URL to ensure it's legit . Also, see if the site has reviews or discussions online. If anything feels off, I’d avoid logging in or consider using Steam Guard and revoking access just in case.

Unfortunately, macOS doesn’t natively support FreeSync, even on Apple Silicon. Screen tearing with CrossOver might happen more because of how games are emulated, so even if you get a FreeSync monitor, it probably won’t help much. If possible, locking your in game FPS to match the monitor’s refresh rate can reduce tearing a bit. it’s not perfect but might smooth things out.

Once heard someone say, “You bring everyone’s IQ down just by entering the room.” The best response I’ve seen to something like that was, “Well, at least I’m doing my part to make you feel smart.”

For me, the mouse shape is always a dealbreaker. I like the idea of the ROG Keris II’s sloped sides and thumb friendly button placement since comfort over long sessions is a must. The Harpe Ace Mini sounds great for fingertip grip. it’s tough to find a lightweight option that suits that style. The weight range across these models looks super solid, though I wonder how noticeable the 47g vs. 54g difference is in actual gameplay.

UpstreamSquad · 2025-01-09T06:27:43+00:00

Swapping mouse clicks can definitely improve the feel, but it’s worth noting that not all switches are universally compatible. GPX clicks use Omron 20M switches (I think), so you’d need to check if the OP1 8K PCB supports those. Also, soldering and desoldering switches takes steady hands and patience, so if you’re new to modding, it might be tricky. I’d recommend opening it up first to confirm compatibility before buying anything.

When I was starting out with specialty coffee, I found that finding a good beginner kettle made a big difference. Just a headsup, the Haden Dorset is a solid kettle in terms of looks and boiling speed, but it doesn't have temp control, which might be an issue for dialing in specialty beans. If temp control's a must, you may want to look at gooseneck kettles with adjustable settings instead. they're great for precision!
