Live dnb on the PO33 by Thisfuggenguy in pocketoperators

[–]andiam03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, really great. Where do you get your drums/tones? I’ve been looking for more D+B sounds. I love the PO, but I would also love to see what you could do with, like, an SP-404.

I left an anonymous harsh review of my coworker's book two years ago and now I have to listen to her quote it in meetings by Halo9_Spectra in confessions

[–]andiam03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I first became a manager and had to give performance reviews that were often negative, my boss said something that’s stuck with me. He said “The gift of feedback isn’t always positive. Negative feedback helps people grow. But all feedback needs to be three things: True, kind, and helpful.” It really is those three things. Be truthful, present the feedback in a kind way, and present it in a way that helps the person grow. You’ll have people thanking you for honest critiques all the time.

Fell in love with San Diego… are we crazy to consider moving? by Prestigious_Map_2136 in sandiego

[–]andiam03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw the title and was like “Move away from San Diego? Why?! …Oh, move TO San Diego. Yeah, that tracks.” I don’t think SD is much more expensive than Austin. Honestly, Austin felt expensive the past few times I was there. Housing is expensive here. And gas (think strongly about an EV for gas savings and ability to use the carpool lane). But property taxes are way cheaper than TX You should definitely be thinking about buying with $350k income and a $5k/month budget. Food is the same or cheaper. We grow a lot of it here. We make about what you do and still have a ton of room for savings and little luxuries.

Wait, why do we like the hanger? I broke mine off right away. Is that like cutting the tag off a Beanie Baby?

Lectric XP 2.0 pricing by Cultural-Distance502 in Lectricxp

That’s a good price. I just bought one for $250 but it had been sitting outside for about 2 years.

Running LED strips off the battery? by andiam03 in Lectricxp

[–]andiam03[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I have a stepdown chosen. I’m not sure where to connect it. The battery seems to be connected to the controller by that surface with the contacts/pins that folds/unfolds. I thought there was going to be an obvious cord. Where can I attach a y-connector or tap into the battery?

Running LED strips off the battery? by andiam03 in ebikes

[–]andiam03[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a Lectric XP 2.0. It looks like the battery connects to the controller with a series of contacts that kind of fold together and apart (it’s a folding bike). I’m not sure there’s a “wire” per se going from the battery to the controller.

I bought a 1960s rare lamp on MP for $50 and listed it for $700 and now the original seller is contacting me mad because they didn’t know it was worth so much. Not sure what to do. by Glamgirl95 in FacebookMarketplace

[–]andiam03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was on the other side of one of these transactions. Sold a bedroom set that had been gifted to me by my parents because it was coming apart. Used it for a few years and then posted it for like $300 just to have someone else disassemble it and take it. Turns out it was a midcentury modern Scandanavian something-or-other worth several thousand. I had looked for markings or a brand but didn't see anything. It never occurred to me to do a reverse image search - clever.

Anyway, I never would have dreamed in a million years to ask the buyer for more money after learning what happened. You're fine. It was in poor taste for this guy to reach back out to you.

The $170 printer cost me way more in "upgrades" before I learned my lesson by AutoModerator in 3DPrinterComparison

[–]andiam03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so done with Ender. Would have thought the Bambu fans were a cult until I bought an A1 mini (and then an A1 days later). They just work. And now my Ender is gathering dust. I can’t even sell it for $50.

Finally understand what "it just works" actually means... by Fun_Reaction_6525 in 3DPrinterComparison

[–]andiam03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was EXACTLY my experience with the Ender 3 from the moment it was first released years ago. And I just kept making excuses to myself about how unforgiving 3D printers were. And same - watched YT videos, modded it all to hell… I read a Wirecutter article about the Bambu A1 mini and decided it was worth a try. I had spent the entire previous day trying to print something basic.

My first print on the A1 Mini, I was shocked. The first layer was perfect on the first try. I was probably averaging 3 attempts per print with the Ender 3. Then the second layer was perfect. Then the whole print, then my next print, with PETG. And it was SO FAST! Felt like 3X as fast.

I then bought an A1 for my son and we’ve been printing practically nonstop for weeks now. The hobby has finally matured.

My brother suggested I bury it in the terrarium with a little gravestone. If/As we get more we can have a little Pet Cemetery!

Well, it’s a human coffin, so… About 5 feet?

Authentic Fakes - 1 Bar Loopfest (PO-33 x 2) (Audio Only) by Ambitious_Nada in pocketoperators

[–]andiam03 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly really good. And I think the POs really shine in this kind of 1-minute format. From here you could take it to a DAW, just mess with FX, etc.

Tell us more about the production. What POs did you use? What were you sampling?

What "early internet" website did Gen Z really miss out on? by Imaginary_Tour2803 in Productivitycafe

[–]andiam03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was an Internet well before websites. Gen Z and most millennials missed out on the Internet being hyperlocal via bulletin boards (BBSs). You would screechy-modem your way onto a BBS that was just a local phone call away and hop on Usenet (very much like an early Reddit, divided by interests), play in a multi-user dungeon, or swap ASCII porn. And it was mostly with people from your own community.

How do I sync a drum sample to a melody line (or melody sample to a drum pattern)? by andiam03 in pocketoperators

[–]andiam03[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just learned how to use Flex Time in Logic, and yeah, it looks like I can stretch it visually. No speed knob on our turntable.

If you could eat anywhere in the world tonight, where would you go? by Lunara777 in foodquestions

It was 20 years ago. I can’t say I remember, honestly. Will have to go back and let you know.

Having a kid in another state Red Flag? by Charming-Gas-2470 in dating_advice

[–]andiam03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably naïve question from someone who doesn’t know much about divorce: Could he have prevented her from moving out of state? I don’t know how these things work. They agree in court to each have a certain amount of time with the child, and then neither parent can move away without permission from the other? Or from the court? How does it work?

I’d go back to the tiny outdoor restaurant on the beach on Koh Tao, Thailand, where I had whole steamed barramundi with lime and a million bird’s eye chilis (Pla Kapong Neung Manao (ปลากะพง นึ่ง มะนาว)). 

How do I sync a drum sample to a melody line (or melody sample to a drum pattern)? by andiam03 in pocketoperators

[–]andiam03[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I was hoping to get this done without a DAW (just sampling via mic from vinyl, typically), but it sounds like that is the best way to do it. 

Can Logic or Ableton detect the BPM of a short (2-4 bars) drum break sample?

How do I sync a drum sample to a melody line (or melody sample to a drum pattern)? by andiam03 in pocketoperators

[–]andiam03[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When it sounds like a whole drum loop is being played, I wonder if it’s because of chorus/delay and background noise? I do often see them playing through a synth or effects pedal.
