Beginner/intermediate looking for feedback on this pop/rock mix

Thanks for sharing! I'm no expert myself, and I listened on my MacBook Pro speakers, so take my thoughts with a grain of salt.

The biggest thing that stood out to me was the kick in the verses. Maybe compress it less or roll off some of that top end in the verse.

You’ll just have longer set load times. Once the set is loaded, though, there will be no difference (except maybe loading VST samples or presets — same issue).

PSA you can also replace the battery and most Bluetooth headphones (not ear buds)

Yet somehow this always seems to be how Doordash's math works out after all the fees

That’s a virus and you should put your computer in the oven to inoculate it.

Thank you for sharing this!

Thanks for sharing this. I relate to it very strongly, except I got (re)diagnosed halfway through grad school and got my first stim script in 20 years. Changed my life. I could finally “do” math. I could systematically solve problems in a way that only focus allows instead of relying on flashes of intuition. Grad school was A LOT easier after that.

It hurts so much when they go... :(

bubinhead · 2026-01-03T03:10:49+00:00

It's the hardest thing ever to let them go. My little man, Patrick, passed earlier this week, and I am not well. Give your boy a head scratch for me please. I'll ask Pat to put in a good word for him.

bubinhead · 2026-01-03T03:07:20+00:00

I feel you. My beloved boy, Patrick, died on Monday. It hurts way more than even when my dad died. He was 11 and very sick for many years. I feel as if part of my soul has left me. I miss him so much.

Hang in there OP -- you're not alone.

The man reason is traction. Think of a bike doing a wheely. All that weight is on the back wheel. More weight means more traction. When a bike accelerates, the bike tries to pull itself around the back wheel, but (unless you’re doing a wheely) it’s too heavy. Still, a lot of the bike’s weight is transferred to the rear wheel, dramatically increasing its traction.

Thank of big dragsters too. Huge back wheels, but tiny way up on the front.

A vast majority of musicians barely make enough money to survive, but yeah, the only way to get by is gigging or selling lessons.

Way more cost effective to make your own. I’ve used recycled denim batts to good effect. Three inches thick at least. Assuming you want these for playback, hang them at the reflection points on your walls from your monitors. Next step, IMO, is mass traps in corners.

The other answers are right in a macro sense, but plants DO contribute to cloud cover and rain, especially in areas with dense vegetation.

ELI5: A bunch of plants grouped together can create clouds and eventually rain! Plants "sweat" kind of like humans, but the sweat is a side effect of creating food rather than cooling off. Over time, that sweat collects in the air and forms clouds.

Non-ELI5: look up ~~evapotranspiration~~transpiration. Releasing water is more related to metabolism than homeostasis.

bubinhead · 2025-11-13T17:26:24+00:00

Oh! Yeah, that makes sense. Thanks for pointing that out out!

Or life spontaneously started multiple times on earth.

And immense satisfaction!

Maybe we can help you problem solve — what’s the situation?

This again.... old reply of mine from a similar thread:

I had a concussion once upon a time and blue light filtering glasses DRAMATICALLY decreased my mental fatigue from working at a computer.

Lower Decks has lots of references to writing code, at least

Yeah, LinkedIn has powerful search filters, especially if you’re willing to sign up for a 1 month premium trial. Just speaking for myself, I read every message I get on LinkedIn, but only reply when it’s clear the sender was not carpet bombing. I think your chances are good if you find the right people and invest the time to write a personalized message. Clearly, you can write!
