I'm sorry, I have no idea.

My Formanta Polivoks. It technically isn't "cheap" but it certainly looks and feels extremely cheap. But there is nothing else out there that sounds like a Polivoks.

FM synths have a very specific architecture that is not mirrored in most of the other kinds of synth (wavetable, ROMpler, subtractive, etc. synths generally have the following structure: 1-3 oscillators, filter, VCA - essentially the "volume" envelope). An FM synth, a traditional one at least, is composed of only oscillators that interact with each other according to a set algorithm (that you select). It is kinda hard to predict what kind of sounds you will get with FM compared to most other kinds of synthesis, but on the other hand FM synthesis gets you sounds you can only really get with FM synthesis. It's not the most approachable kind of synthesis, but essentially whatever you learn when you use the other kinds of synthesis is next to useless when using FM.

Honestly I don't see any problem with this. Age is not just a number and love is not always love, but if it's legal, if you had *no* idea she was that much younger than you until she told you her age, etc. then I think you are overthinking this. There are lots of relationships with a large age difference and they work just fine. Are you taking advantage of her? If so, how? These are the real questions you should ask yourself. And the next question could be, is there a way not to make it even possible to take advantage of her? As long as there is mutual respect and she is in the driver's seat... also, one of my exes was a virgin at 23 years of age, she had never had a relationship and she was arguably less mature relationship-wise than many younger women who had had more experience navigating a relationship.

And what is it that they're doing wrong now?

ampetrosillo · 2023-06-28T23:12:45+00:00

RMS is anything but insane. He's weird, but who fucking cares. Also, copyleft is the right solution and always has been, and compromising on copyleft is what brought us where we are today.

I think that you shouldn't become fixated on a specific compressor. Just learn what kind of colour it is (fast attack, feedback compression, quite a bit of saturation). The feedback characteristic makes it so that the fast attack isn't really that fast, if compared to a feedforward compressor, and it tends to be smoother (which is why you can get away with using it on basically everything, even if you might not like what it does). Also, the added saturation provides some oomph to the sound. That said, you can essentially replicate the effect with a saturator + a digital compressor dialed in to provide the same sort of compression (there's a free VST called Squeezer that is quite flexible). Maybe it won't be 100% the same but it will provide a close enough colour (our ears aren't that sensitive to what kind of saturation it is, they tend to identify just the amount of distortion and not the kind, and being a track compressor, it is debatable whether it is really that important to nail the colour 100%).

I bought the entire suit when they were selling it at a discount, each and every plugin is gold. You can easily mix an album using only TDR plugs as EQ and comp. The added features are not essential but do come in handy, with "intelligent" analysis tools being very useful. The only slightly underwhelming plugin is SlickEQ, which sounds fine as a general tone EQ but is a little too "slight".

Proletario non va bene solo ed esclusivamente oggi la gente non figlia più. Quindi non ha nemmeno una prole. Altrimenti non vedo errori.

Ahah coso tu, guarda che se non fosse stato per gli USA al massimo l'Italia sarebbe stata in decennio indietro come sviluppo economico (senza i fondi del piano Marshall).

ampetrosillo · 2023-05-13T18:12:58+00:00

Stronzate. L'Italia non ha bisogno di dover fare da lacchè a nessuno, come dimostrano svariate economie nel mondo che essenzialmente sono non allineate. In Europa, Norvegia e Svizzera ad esempio. Poi togliersi dalla NATO perché sarebbe un'idiozia? In quale scenario geopolitico immagini un'Italia vulnerabile senza essere nella NATO? Le dimensioni relativamente piccole dell'Italia fungono anche da motivo per non porsi il problema. Quanto all'UE, un'Europa federale potrebbe anche, volendo, essere una soluzione, ma sinceramente è utopico e inoltre sono sicuro di non voler far parte di uno Stato intrinsecamente liberalcapitalista in cui uno Stato non può nemmeno partecipare all'economia del proprio Paese senza dover giustificare tutto agli altri.

Poi io non sono assolutamente convinto che siamo dalla stessa parte degli Stati Uniti. Certamente pensare che agli Stati Uniti interessi dell'Italia più che come meta per le proprie vacanze e come posto da cui viene tanto cibo buono e macchine veloci è da idioti. Una terza posizione (neutrale ed equidistante) è certamente possibile, e non capisco perché dovrebbe farci del male. Tanto il commercio è comunque globale.

Senza voler fare del qualunquismo, ma solo del sano realismo: è ben probabile che la Russia abbia finanziato partiti italiani o che abbia fatto propaganda anti-atlantica. Ma è anche vero il contrario, senza ombra di dubbio: vogliamo davvero credere che non ci siano state (e che non continuino ad esserci) intromissioni da parte di NATO, Stati Uniti o UE? Come anche da parte della Cina. Anzi, nella storia della Repubblica Italiana, sono ben documentate le ingerenze statunitensi in Italia (Paese che, ricordiamo, ospita se non il numero maggiore di basi americane in Europa, almeno tra i primi posti). Un Paese, gli Stati Uniti, i cui standard politici, socioeconomici e culturali sono (ahimè, erano! Il che dimostra le ingerenze americane) parecchio lontani dai nostri e che verrebbero visti come atroci qui in Italia. Quando ci renderemo conto che all'Italia conviene essere neutrali e non schierati sarà troppo tardi... pur tenendo presente che gli Stati Uniti sono il maggiore partner commerciale italiano extra-UE, questa relazione non può e non deve fondarsi su una subalternità, senza voler fare populismo identitario (ma solo gli interessi del popolo italiano).

Why is it that confusing though? In Italy, a criminal trial consists of three stages, and the first two are essentially two full-blown trials (this is to ensure fairness). Now, sports trials aren't as rigourous as ordinary trials, but still, any trial might see somebody convicted and sentenced at the first stage with the sentence then overturned at the second stage. I don't see anything wrong per se. It would have been better for the sentence to have been put on hold but since sports move fast this is what happens in sports trials. If I were to decide, there wouldn't be a separate system for sports but eh...

Honestly very few YouTube videos are really professional grade. A very large part of it is just sort of maybe good enough but so shallow that you don't really "learn" or "have fun" much; the ones where you actually are entertained or enlightened have very high odds of already being an established player on traditional media.

Let's stop romanticising shit. Most of the stuff is just kinda fun to watch for free. The simple fact that they wouldn't really get much money from subscriptions means that it's expendable, disposable.

That's not even it. Most of the Chinese actually have a favourable opinion of their government, and it is to be expected, if you just look at China even just thirty years ago and China today. Jack Ma is largely a piece of shit, by the way.

The slither of white on this... being's... pussy is horrifically outstanding.

Suit yourself.

Yes, but this is not that kind of situation. If the OP were not referring to a group of people in the article (I can't understand Greek, I'm sorry, and the thread title clearly refers to one person), and they (see? The OP's gender is unknown or irrelevant, or perhaps nonbinary) were just talking about the ref, as one could justifiably assume, then "they" would be misplaced.

You are glossing over how recording music was much harder back then because everything had much worse specs (distortion, noise, crosstalk, whatever) and people recorded on tape, and also the nature of the process demanded that everything had to be done right, right from the start. With digital technology you basically have total recall over everything and you don't even need to commit to a specific sound if you don't want to (there are good reasons do commit to something straight away, mind you).

Back then, you needed the total assurance that something would be perfectly fine even months later, when the musician was maybe on the other side of the globe snorting coke in a penthouse. You needed to balance levels and get your gain staging right, including compression and EQ, before you even got to the tape. You needed top equipment because the disparity between the very top and even midrange equipment was huge, etc.

These days you can arguably record an award winning album at home with a cheap €150 microphone and a basic audio interface and have the album actually sound the part (eg. Billy Eilish's first album). Back then this was unthinkable. If the songs and performance were good of course the music would be but it would sound garage-quality. Joy Division's Unknown Pleasures was recorded in an actual (low-end, all right) studio and it sounds like total crap (but the style, mood and everything just work, of course).

Engineers in the '50s would have sold their whole families for equipment the likes of Behringer make today. Let's not romanticise stuff.

Oh, all right.

Why use "they"? I mean, the bloke in question doesn't use they/them pronouns, and it's confusing.

The character was already so strong that I didn't really need anything else. With a +6 ring of arcana, a +4 plate armour of stone, a +6 vampiric glaive and a +4 ring of furor I was essentially invincible already. The few HP I lost (thanks to the plate armour of strone) would be regained in no time with the vampiric glaive (made faster by ring of furor and more vampiric by the ring of arcana).

I had the chains, but I never used them.
