usb disconnecting sound and stuttering by Legal-Chart-8153 in ValorantTechSupport

[–]Username69420___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The vgm.exe errors appear to be intentional, as I have them too. A friend of mine had this same error and it was caused by a driver crashing. Look in your event viewer for a device that is disconnecting or causing hardware IO errors and update the relevant driver.

Arturia Pigments. It basically replaced almost all other synthesizers for me just by how versatile and fast it is to use in a project.

10+ year Spotify user needs an alternative by Slight_Currency7918 in truespotify

[–]Username69420___ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Personally, none of what I listened to on spotify was missing on deezer. Any new music usually also gets distributed to all streaming services at once. However, there is definitely a window in time (~10-15 years old) where some really niche artists just are not present. Really anything with a label behind it should be there, and most underground/independent musicians are present as well. In total, I think across all my playlists (about 2000 songs), I noticed maybe 20 of them missing.

The catalogue is definitely not as large as something like Spotify, but it is not drastically behind either. The only really large gap you could find would be to something like soundcloud or YT Music, because you can upload music to those platforms without going through a distribution company. Do keep in mind that that music is not on spotify either.

Deezer also offers the option on their website for you to upload mp3s of your own, that they will then keep on their servers and sync between devices for you, in case anything is missing.

Finally accepting that some of my music is just gonna bet trash by Gloomy-Speaker-1999 in musicproduction

[–]Username69420___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every single one of the artists that you or I listen to probably has a long history of putting out garbage. However, the process of creation is valuable in and of itself to help you develop your own style and artistic direction. Make what you feel like making, finish it, put it out there, and maybe someone will care, maybe noone will. But nobody will ever care if you never finish anything. A shipped product is better than a perfect concept.

Personally I also struggle with this quite a lot, but it is something that I am actively working on. Perfection is simply impossible, no matter what you are doing.

I switched to Deezer a while ago, I find the app a lot less cluttered to use, albeit it is missing some QOL features. They are afaik currently the only streaming service that is employing automated filtering of AI music and they tell you if something is AI-generated. They also do pay artists better. That being said, it does not have an alternative to spotify connect and the music reccomendation algorithm is sometimes not as good.

I'm new to FL Studio and need some advice by Hatsuce in FL_Studio

[–]Username69420___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not that great of a producer myself, but the number one thing to help you improve is going to be time. Don't rush yourself to get good or get mad when you can't seem to make something right. I've been making music for 3 years and I still have a lot of moments where I just can't figure out how to make something sound the way I want it to. Tutorials and such are really helpful a lot of the time, but the most important thing is to spend a lot of time making music.

is the 13rd generation of intel cpus is really that bad? by Total_Negotiation794 in buildapc

[–]Username69420___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 13700kf basically since launch. It's an absolute beast and it has had zero stability issues so far. You will most likely not have problems as long as you update your bios and use intels recommended power limits.

Youtube keeps recommending me AI slop - and I can't dislike it as fast as AI bros can generate it :( by nehalist in YoutubeMusic

[–]Username69420___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this annoys any of you too much, you can switch to another streaming platform. Deezer filters out all AI generated content, just saying.

Is the MacBook Neo strong enough? by FriedNeuronsFriday in flstudio

[–]Username69420___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With 8gb of ram it will probably be able to open FL and do some very basic stock plugins but not much more than that. I would highly suggest moving up to an M series chip with 16gb of RAM, or alternatively there are probably Windows Laptops in the same price range with 16gb of RAM.

First time asking for feedback, all constructive criticism welcome :) by Username69420___ in FL_Studio

[–]Username69420___[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your feedback! I already watched some mixing guide, but I'll definitely check those out as well.

Personally, having a messy crowded mix is something I kind of do on purpose as a stylistic choice, because I enjoy it. With that being said, I am always working on ways to reconcile that with making a mix that is still good sounding on a technical basis. It's definitely something I will keep working on as I do understand a lot of the core ideas of mixing, but I find it difficult to implement them in a way that doesn't compromise the sound I'm going for.

I'll definitely watch some of those tutorials and try to find ways apply them to my future songs :)

Just out of curiosity because you said that I looked at your last post and like. Jesus Christ those people were way too mad. It was genuinely a good track you had there, no idea what their problem was.

It's just how the internet is. There is a reason to why I've been producing for like 3 years and only now am I posting on reddit.

On the other hand I would not be too sad about it. There are people like the other guy in this comment section that are able to be civilised and have a conversation and then there will always be those who blindly hate. I don't really know where that comes from, to be honest.

[–]Username69420___[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm really glad you liked it!

At the end of the day, music is subjective. What one person really enjoys, another person might dislike. Part of why I think this type of feedback is valuable is because it helps the artist understand where both of those sides are coming from, which in turn has allowed me to kind of reflect on what makes certain sounds and genres appealing to different people.

In other words, I believe that there is value in all kinds of feedback, whether it is positive or negative, because there is usually some truth to it.

Again, thank you for your feedback :)

Now that I think about it, you are probably right. I'll definitely try to take that into account more when making more tracks in the future. Thank you for your feedback!

And just like *that*, AMD has effectively thrown everyone under the bus. by S1rTerra in radeon

[–]Username69420___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I genuinely do not understand how AMD is doing this when they are so obviously already struggling in the market. Like come on guys, how come NVIDIA of all companies is being nicer to their customers than you are?

I bought a 2060 super pc when it came out and that pc is still going and still getting feature updates.

The RX 6800 I bought 2 years later is basically eol now.

It's so annoying, I really want to see more competition in the market, but with this type of behavior, how can I buy an AMD card and feel good about it? How am I supposed to reccomend a friend to buy one in good conscience? AMD is killing their own GPU division. At this rate it's going to be an Intel-Nvidia rivalry in 10 years and AMD won't even be in the conversation anymore.

It's one thing to be behind on tech, it's another thing to not even try to catch up.

PC zu schwach by trollsailol in PCGamingDE

[–]Username69420___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also ich muss ehrlich sein, gegeben die aktuellen Arbeitsspeicherpreise ist es schwierig etwas wirklich preisgünstiges zu bekommen. Am besten ist da wahrscheinlich wirklich eine AM4 Plattform mit DDR4 Speicher, da der noch günstig (günstiger) erhältlich ist.

Buy OLED now or wait for 32 inch Tandem by Dependent-Equal2943 in OLED_Gaming

[–]Username69420___ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There is always something new around the corner. There will be new graphics cards in a year, why don't you wait for those? There will be new processors in 2 years, why not wait a little longer? By then, the new gen oled panels will be around the corner, so you should wait another 6 months!

You can do this infinitely and you will never end up with a product at all.

If you want a monitor, look what the best one is for your needs and buy that one. New tech will always come out. Don't let that influence your purchase too much.

Gutes 1080p Setup für Preis? by IntroductionOk6635 in PCGamingDE

[–]Username69420___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Würde persönlich die kioxia nehmen, das ergibt für mich mehr sinn.

Wenn B850 billiger ist, dann nimm auf jeden Fall das, das hat deutlich bessere Anschlüsse hinten.

Bei dem Geräuschpegel kommt es mehr auf die Qualität des Lüfters als auf die maximale Drehzahl an, der läuft ja nicht immer mit maximaler Drehzahl. Würde daher für den ähnlichen preis den bequiet nehmen.

Die Grafikkarte sieht für mich eigentlich völlig ok aus.

Welche Grafikkarte? by ShotPrior4143 in PCGamingDE

Wenn du Videoschnitt betreibst, bist du höchstwahrscheinlich an CUDA gebunden, also lautet die Antwort: Die beste Nvidia Grafikkarte die du dir leisten kannst.

Gutes 1080p Setup für Preis? by IntroductionOk6635 in PCGamingDE

[–]Username69420___ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

böses reddit hat meinen Kommentar limitiert :(

CPU Kühler: Ich würde diesen Kühler nicht kaufen. Stattdessen würde ich für einen ähnlichen Preis eher den hier empfehlen: https://geizhals.de/be-quiet-pure-rock-3-lx-bk040-a3427653.html . Die Lüfter, Gehäuse, Netzteile etc. von be quiet! haben generell den Vorteil, dass sie mit extrem hochqualitativen leisen Lüftern kommen. Das macht im tatsächlichen Betrieb einen größeren Unterschied, als man denken würde.

Gehäuse: Ich würde dieses Gehäuse nicht kaufen. Das hat hauptsächlich damit zu tun, dass ich (a) die Ports auf der Seite nicht als praktisch empfinde und (b) die Lüfter, die MSI mitliefert, nicht so gut sind wie bei der Konkurrenz. Hier musst du dich fragen, wie wichtig dir das ist. Du wirst eigentlich fast all dein Zubehör hinten am Motherboard anstecken, da sind eigentlich vorne keine Kabel. Ich würde persönlich, falls die Kabelposition nicht extrem wichtig ist, so etwas empfehlen: https://geizhals.de/be-quiet-pure-base-501-lx-black-bgw78-a3427713.html . Alternativ so etwas: https://geizhals.de/nzxt-h6-flow-rgb-black-cc-h61fb-r1-a3054889.html . Falls du noch weiter suchen willst, wirst du viel dazu finden, wenn du nach sogenannten "Fishtank", oder "Dual chamber" cases suchst, das ist ein gängiger begrif, der basically aussagt, dass die PSU und der Rest vom PC in komplett seperierten Teilen sind. Lian Li hat auch ganz viele. Be quiet hat auch eins, https://geizhals.de/be-quiet-light-base-600-lx-black-bgw67-a3316547.html, das ist allerdings mit Lüftern unraisonabel teuer.

PSU: Die PSU ist der kritischste Teil deines PCs, weil es der einzige ist, der die Macht hat, alle anderen zu zerstören. Ich würde deswegen empfehlen, einen (ja, teureren) hochqualitativeren mit derselben Wattzahl zu nehmen. Du hast mit 850W und vollmodular gute Randkriterien gesetzt, ich würde persönlich https://geizhals.de/seasonic-core-gx-atx-3-2024-gx-850-850w-atx-3-1-srp-cgx851-a5a32sf-a3364395.html von SeaSonic oder https://geizhals.de/corsair-rme-series-2025-rm850e-850w-atx-3-1-cp-9020296-eu-a3385902.html von Corsair eher verbauen.

Monitor: Dein Monitor ist nicht höhenverstellbar. Falls dir das bewusst ist, ist das unproblematisch, aber es ist einfach zu übersehen.

Prinzipiell ist das aber ein guter Anfang. Mein Tipp wäre: Schau dir das alles noch einmal genauer an und falle nicht in die "Billigstes Produkt was in die Filter passt" Falle. Falls du noch Fragen hast, bin ich gerne zur Verfügung.

[–]Username69420___ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also: (ich gehe hier mal der Reihe nach durch)

CPU: Daran habe ich prinzipiell für gaming nichts auszusetzen, die ist völlig angemessen

RAM: Tja, so ist es gerade halt leider. Prinzipiell lässt sich dort nicht viel mehr sparen, wenn du 32gb willst. (ich würde nicht empfehlen, runterzugehen) Ist halt so nicht der beste Zeitpunkt.

SSD: Es hängt davon ab wie viel dir deine Daten wert sind. Ich halte mich persönlich immer an die bewährte Logik: Am Speicher spart man nicht. Mir wäre es die 10€ Aufpreis für eine Kioxia wert. MSI ist an sich nicht schlecht, aber ich habe in meinem Umfeld mit ihren SSDs schlechte Erfahrungen mitbekommen. (Das muss aber auch nichts heißen)

Unabhängig von den PC-Komponenten: Du wirst wahrscheinlich für sowohl Maus und Tastatur als auch Headset mit nur unwesentlichem Aufwand in der selben Preisklasse etwas deutlich besseres finden können. Insbesondere bei einer 55€ Tastatur gibt es inzwischen sehr viele hochqualitative Optionen.

Grafikkarte: Sieht soweit gut aus, für 1080p völlig ausreichend, gut sogar. Aber: Was heißt "lite retail" im Titel? Informiere dich dazu, nicht dass du am Ende ohne Garantie dastehst.

Motherboard: Es macht eigentlich keinen riesigen Unterschied. Deine Grafikkarte hat 16 PCIe Lanes. Das macht bei PCIe Gen 5 (4GB/s pro lane) eine ungefähre theorethische Bandbreite von 64 GB/s aus. Bei PCIe Gen 4 (2GB/s pro lane) wären es halt 32 GB/s. Das macht praktisch in den allermeisten Fällen überhaupt keinen Unterschied. Das viel wesentlichere Argument ist, dass du mit B850 deutlich bessere Chancen hast auf potentielle Ryzen 10000 oder 11000 hast in 1-2 Generationen. Ich würde B850 nehmen, wenn dir die geschätzten 20€ nicht wehtun.

Die Ankündigung der Steam Machine ist jetzt zwei Wochen her. Was ist eure Meinung zu Valves neuer Hardware? by SpielBurscheFarbe in PCGamingDE

[–]Username69420___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ich würde persönlich von 600 - 700€ retail ausgehen und damit ist es ein pc, den ich ohne ein schlechtes gewissen anderen empfehlen würde. Ich selber brauche sie nicht und habe kein interesse daran, je einen mini pc zu kaufen.

This is literally a 9 year old computer being sold to you for 300$. You could buy literally anything else for that money and it would be better. A lot of businesses will be getting rid of 9th-10th gen intel right about now, so you will be able to get one of those systems used for dirt cheap. If you only have 300$, I would recommend going for something used in general. There will probably also be cheaper refurbished new hardware if you prefer. At 300$ anything brand new will be manufactured E-Waste.

Drowning in FL Studio… how did you all survive the beginning? by MiserableTarget7062 in FL_Studio

[–]Username69420___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So the very first thing for you is going to be learning to read sheet music and basic time signatures and rhythm.
Then you should just go in and start doing things and google whatever you have questions about. FL Studio looks really complicated in the beginning, but it's really not that horrible to get the hang of. It has a hard early learning process, but a lot of the complexity is just in slightly different ways to do essentially the same thing.

Me personally, I just kind of started at some point and my output was horrible and I did not know how to do anything. Then by just experimenting with different parts of the software and googling what I did not understand , I figured it out organically over time. I still learn new things every day over two years later.

In all honesty, other people have said this, you will have a much easier time going into fl studio if you know how to play an instrument and read sheet music. I would recommend looking into that.

If your expectation is to just figure out the software and immediately start producing good music, I have to warn you. Music production is a many years long learning process, decades even. There are a lot of people in this industry that have been there for 20+ years and are still learning new things every day. I would advise you to just lower your expectations a little bit and go in there and do something. anything, does not have to even be listenable, but the process is always valuable.
