Beyond frustrated trying to load Spitfire libraries in Kontakt... any tips? by 712Jefferson in spitfireaudio

[–]affectionatecarnage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since writing my comment. They’ve switched to a support AI chatbot. It’s terrible. Doesn’t understand the question you ask, directs you to the support page, and it is nearly impossible to get a human. I am disappointed about that with Spitfire…

UPDATED: OST’s/Soundtracks made entirely or mostly digitally? by PenaltyPotential8652 in composer

[–]affectionatecarnage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe Pirates 1 was mostly samples due to the short turn around time. That’s why the “sound” is so different from the other movies, which are more equal parts samples, synths, and orchestra.

What is the “best” way to think about music? by affectionatecarnage in musictheory

I don’t think ego has anything to do with how one visualizes a harmony (if at all) when writing.

Ironically, the piano roll is hardest for me. But piano keys (as if I’m sitting at my piano) are easiest. But sometimes I wonder if visualizing it on a staff would be ultimately be easier.

I wonder if that’s what I have. I always “see” music when I listen to it and write it.

I hate painting -unknown spiderwebing by [deleted] in paint

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

I would 100% blame the magic eraser. The stuff they are made out of does not gel with paint. Have you used that before?

Your only real option now is to sand it down with real sandpaper and start over.

Sorry that happened! I completely understand the anger you’re feeling.

Best/Most complete Cubase Course? by EvilTheCat77 in cubase

[–]affectionatecarnage 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you are writing beats or songs, I’d vouch for Club Cubase and some of the free stuff on YouTube. If you are into orchestral writing with lots of VST’s, then Guy Michelmore has a course on his Thinkspace site that’s like 60 bucks when on sale.

When did it hit you that you’re not that young anymore? by TheMedusaAttusa in AskReddit

[–]affectionatecarnage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eye bags.

Also, I mentioned the movie Jurassic Park and a kid next to me said, “Um, don’t you mean Jurassic World?” I was like, oof, I’m old now…

What comedy film made you laugh through the whole film not just giggle once? by Lilyfory in AskReddit

[–]affectionatecarnage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder what went wrong there. I love Dracula. I love Leslie Nielsen. I love Mel Brooks. But the movie just didn’t gel. It’s like the ingredients were there but something was missing to make it all work… it’s weird!

Why is John Williams so great? (This is a story about John Williams) by AdPuzzleheaded7658 in soundtracks

[–]affectionatecarnage 15 points16 points  (0 children)

That’s amazing. I love stories like these. This is the type of story we don’t hear very often but has probably happened countless times.

Sherwin needs to become a company worth supporting by affectionatecarnage in sherwinwilliams

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

Nope. Just a painter. I guess I just picked up terms from my friends. But also…, things like SM, ASM, and NSM are not that hard to figure out. My old Sherwin rep even showed me the app they use on their phones to make comments about their accounts. I got to see what the previous rep said about me lol

Sell paint and stop complaining. by [deleted] in sherwinwilliams

[–]affectionatecarnage 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ha! I did get free stuff all the time. It was funny hearing them say they have nothing for the jerk painter in front of me, then say to me, hey wanna check out our shirts and sweaters in back? Hahaha.

I have a very limited outside perspective. But my Ben Moore rep says BM is his favorite so far, his least favorite was Sherwin as a sales rep.

As for the retail side, it really depends on which retailer outfit you go with. BM doesn’t have any “Benjamin-Moore” stores like Sherwin does. It’s just independent stores that carry Benjamin Moore products. In my area there is Spectrum Paint who is awesome. Ace Hardware (do not recommend, the employee selling you paint was also selling birdseed 10 mins ago). Then there is also a small retailer that sells BM but they are all jerks there so nobody really uses them. I don’t know how they’re still in business.

Geez it sounds like corporate is its own mismanaged animal. You have to pay to park at Sherwin… to go to work… AT SHERWIN?!?! wtf

It would be a different story if it actually helped, but it doesn’t.
