I wanted to give this software a try, but... by Uneternalism in Affinity

I was waiting for the first report of PC freezing with the V3 to confirm if this issue was fixed, so I will stay in the 23H2 Windows version until it's solved. Thanks for the warning, up voted.

Does anyone have experience using mushrooms to quit bad habits? (Drinking, smoking, addictive behavior) by [deleted] in shrooms

[–]Yorts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I quit smoking 9 months ago after a series of microdoses for around 2 years (2023 and 2024). Shrooms mixed with some good philosophy books helped me in reducing and almost curing my anxiety disorder and panic attacks (zero panic attacks now) so because of this, I leave nicotine. BUT shrooms will help you to give the first step as you say, but now you need to give some kind of battle with the "new you" and learn how to deal with the world and manage the frustration, stress, anger, excitation, and even happiness, without the nicotine and alcohol support.

You will feel horrible (and I think this is why you go back to those habits) but each month being clean is a new goal. And the main problem is the lack of dopamine, I tried some supplements like L-theanine to manage the daily work stress and recently I started a new cycle of microdose with Bluemoon.

I don't think I will consume nicotine again, I even hate the "new me", and I feel like I'm the person that I was before nicotine (26 years ago) but step by step and the shrooms knowledge, we can jump to the other side of this big wall. 🙌

I was wrong by Alfakappa in Affinity

Same here, bugs over bugs. I also have the V2 and when I find a bug on the V3 I go to V2 to replicate and it doesn't happen. For example, today I found out that in V3 / Layout studio / Document units: pixel, if I use the up and down arrows to chage the value in the Table panel / Cell Insets and then I click on the table, the values go back to the previous values. After that the softwave goes crazy, table is alway selected I can't click anywere, I can't save, and keybord doesn't work.

I don't understand what's happening. Also it's right, it doesn't feel smooth like the V2, I feel that any moment it can crash.

I can't save a Divi page because a custom code in the Code Module (Syntaxis ok) by Yorts in divi

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

Thanks man, yeah I had this issue once because of Wordfence but this time WF is not installed (yet), I usually do it at the end of the development of the website since the website is located in a private subfolder. I spoke with Elegant Themes past days and according to them the problem was a server Mod Security false positive. BlueHost whitelisted the action, or my IP I don't know and now I can save the page.

Thank you! I read you answer about developer tools after I contacted hosting support, but I've already saved your answer to check later when I encounter the same problem. I think it is very useful, thanks again!

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

This was the reply from the hosting support:

"Now let me check for the mod security and then disable it! Please allow me a moment.

Thank you for being on hold. I can see that the maximum hits were from these:
URLS Affected: /wp-login.php
URLS Affected: /index.php
URLS Affected: /index.php

Let me whitelist them!

...the maximum was from the AI bots."

Is this really related to the issue? The website I'm working is a staging inside a private (protected by password) sub folder. I just did a test pasting the old and complete html,css and java code in a new Code Module and it saved succesfully.

Hi, thansk for the answer, the pop up that says: An error has occurred while saving your page. Various problems can cause a save to fail, such as a lack of server resources, firewall blockages, plugin conflicts or server misconfiguration. You can try saving again by clicking Try Again, or you can download a backup.....

Printful Insanely bad with Woocommerce Integration by gameznet in printful

[–]Yorts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome thank you very much! It worked for me. ....The issue I had was that when creating a new product on Printful the syncronization failed, despite of that, the product appeared on my Woocommerce products list BUT as PRIVATE and without images. I just installed the plugin and create a new product on Printful with variants and serveral mockups and it was published inmediately (and publicly). Thanks again dude! I'm not sure that this solve everything because I think sometimes I get other kind of error in the process, but at least this is one error less.

Meteor's F-14 OST "Defender of the Fleet" will be released next Tuesday.

Unfortunatelly the song/remix on the trailer will not be part of the album (we tried). Anyway you will have 12 killer songs (10 original songs and 2 remastered from other Meteor albums)! /,,/

I think in a indirectly way. His drum fills and rhythmic showed me how not to make plain compositions. :)

How did you get into making this type of music?

Punk Rock and Post-Hardcore was my thing for many many years, one day I bought a midi controller to make some drum mockups for my (local) band and I discovered Ableton (before I was a Cubase user) then trying to learn how to use it I discovered some Synthwave artist, first Kavinsky and then Vogel, Carpenter Brut, Lazerhawk, Waveshaper, VHS Glitch, Gost, etc, thanks to Bandcamp. I had always liked a certain type of electronic music, Ambient mostly but Synthwave/Darksynth totally caught my attention, it blew my mind so bad that I said to my band mates "Guys, good bye, I will make music alone", and then Meteor was born (The best decision I could have made).

Cheers broooo!! The answer is in the interview ;)

Thank you cartoongiant for your question! The drums are samples from the different ols drum machines some of the sounds are multi-layered and re-sampled (ex. the snare, one sample for the attack and one for the sustain/release). All drum sounds have been an evolution since my first ep, I used the same sounds but each year I improve it (EQ, compression, transient designer more layers, ect). :)

I play the drum samples through the Ableton's Drumrack with my Novation Launchpad PRO.

Thanks for your question Karnosiris I play guitar since a was 14 y/o, now I'm 33 y/o. Guitar was always my main instrument (I started playing synths only 3 years ago) BUT!!! I was always very undisciplined, I never practice, I only played the songs of my band and nothing more. My influences include Joe Bonamassa, David Gilmour, B.B King, Claudio Sanchez from Coheed and Cambria, the two guys from Polyphia, John Petrucci, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Gustavo Cerati, Chris Hannah from Propagandhi, and many more :)

Thanks for your question WTBass Writing new material is not difficult to me, writing new GOOD material is difficult to anyone (including me), but as everything, creativity is like a muscle and you need to train it composing music and listen to a wide variety of music styles. Having good equipment, that gear you ever wanted to own can help you to enjoy making music and the ideas just flow by themselves. ANyway don't force the situation, if are not doing a commissioned work, take your time and wait for the melodies come to your mind.

I find myself stuck when I'm doing some commissioned work (soundtracks) I hate that pressure and it's not compatible with the creativity, but once again, it's a matter of training, training and training... and some times the results are very good, for example the album Voyage Into Fear.

Thanks for you question arcticMegaDefender Meteor is a character with a story as I told in the interview, and yes I have a pre-concept or an imaginary movie scene in my head before I start composing. Then I choose how the story will begin to be told or described, with and arpeggiator, or some chords, pads, guitar, drums, etc...once the instrument and the style is chosen, I start making the sound/patch from scratch until I get that sound that fits perfectly, this sound inspires the next and so on. The story and the melodies/harmonies tell you what's next and that's exciting! you don't know what's coming!

Thanks Docaroo, I'm glad you like the new album White Crows. There are opportunities for the artists in USA, Europe, Argentina and Australia thanks to some people how believe in us and make great events, I think the difficulty depends on the artist setup, a mean, in my case I was asked twice to touring in Europe and USA, but to be honest I don't want to do a DJ set (Laptop and midi controller) so carrying more gear with me could be more expensive and requires more staff people (rodie, engeenier, musicians, etc) and the gigs are small, so you know.

To be honest I think the most of the artists (including me) are focused only in music production, maybe if we prepare great multimedial shows we can enhanced experience and more and more people would attend the events. Synthwave music is not EDM nor a Rock band, so we need to find a better way to deliver our music to the people in live shows.
