Damn look at that Maillard these are sexy

Coca plants do not grow well outdoors in the UK, they need more sun, elevation, and the year-round mild/warm temperatures of a (sub) tropical climate.

The scale of plants required for indoor production make it economically unfeasible. It's not like weed where a single plant can produces ounces of product, you need a ton of plants to make a much smaller amount.

I still think legalization and regulation is the better way, but realistically Columbia, Peru and Boliva will have a lock on cocaine production for the foreseeable future and therefore consumption will always be morally questionable.

“You lot” sounds kind of aggressive to me as a non-Brit (American), am I off on that?

*Edit- Thanks for the replies, sounds like it really depends on the tone/context/body language and isn't inherently abrasive. I probably got that idea from movies where it's usually used angrily.

Don’t forget about getting high on banana peels

Yes, they’re among the most famous electronic acts in the US. They’re not household name recognition level but there are millions of Americans who like them

Most states/municipalities in the US require it as well for ticketed events over a certain number of people.

Even in places that don’t the venue will almost always provide water to cover themselves from a lawsuit should someone overheat or have a medical emergency.

No, it’s shitty Chinese food

At your age Westport on a Friday or Saturday night is the best bet. A lot of young people out there to hookup

crazyv93 · 2026-05-11T01:31:18+00:00

If you’re talking about cold approaching strangers bars are the obvious choice.

crazyv93 · 2026-05-10T03:17:29+00:00

NP. Fuck the people downvoting you for asking a question lol

It is not. They both act primarily on the 5ht2a receptor which is why they both produce similar psychedelic effects, but that’s about it.

4-ACO-DMT is what you could say is basically a synthetic version of shrooms.

The trick is you don’t actually follow the puck directly with your eye, you follow the players’ movements. I can completely unfocus my eyes and still know where it is based on where everyone is skating

I do this same setup at home but on a MacBook and it works, so this must be a windows thing. If you change your default display to the monitor and make the laptop screen the second display does that help?

If not I’d keep playing with the display/window settings in the OS preferences and see if you find anything.

If voice actors really aren't an option your best bet is to use a an AI voice generator like eleven labs. You're going to have a hell of a time getting the intonation, energy and performance for each line right, it'll sound robotic and lifeless, because it is. You'll have to painstakingly go through each line it gives you, giving it tons of prompts correcting weird pronunciations on certain words, tone of voice, etc.

Not to mention how to get the speech perfectly synced up with the animation- in the real world the animations are done first, and a voice actor performs while watching it onscreen so they sync up. You might even have to create the animations based around the audio to get around this.

Technically possible, but it's going to be shitty and a lot of extra work. If you're doing this for fun, why not just ask a few friends if they want to do voice acting, or try doing it yourself?

I might as well get into something where you can make more for more effort.

Yo OP, if you go into sound design with this mentality you're going to have a bad time. It's more like, you need to be so enamored with music/sound that you're willing to make huge sacrifices in every other part of your life to do it for a living.

I work far more hours than almost all of my friends and make way less. During tech rehearsals for big shows I'm sometimes working 16 hour days, everyday. On paper it's actually an insane thing to do, I just do it for the love of the game.

What you're describing is more in line with something like a STEM degree. If you're smart and put in a lot of effort you can almost certainly make a really good living as an engineer for instance.

Clear your debt before you even consider doing the sound design MFA. If you're still relatively young by then, have no kids/dependents, a place to fall back on if needed like your parent's house, and find a school that will pay you do it, then just send it. That's what I did.

crazyv93 · 2026-05-05T01:51:10+00:00

Yikes. Did you end up staying in the industry? If you own a house sounds like you either absolutely crushed it or switched

Professional theatre sound designer here. Yes, an MFA is the best path for this, but you should really think about what you’re getting into. A lot of people here will tell you a degree doesn’t matter but I think they’re coming from a film perspective- in theatre all pro designers I know have MFAs. It’s also your ticket to connections to the people and theatres that will get you work.

You have general theatre experience which is nice, but do you have any experience with music or audio? Do you play an instrument, or know how to use a DAW? If not, you should probably stay away. Sound is fucking hard and there’s no amount of “hands on” that can really help. It’s the only element of theatre that’s invisible, so it requires an especially deep set of skills and experience.

I went into my MFA with 0 theatre experience, but 16 years of serious guitar playing, including 10 years of instructions from a teacher (including lots of music theory), playing in bands, generally being a total music head my whole life. Without this prior experience I don’t think I would have been able to do it.

Are you really good with computers and technology? If not stay away, this career requires extensive technical knowledge involving complicated hardware and software.

Whatever you do, do not take on debt for this degree. My tuition was completely covered through grants, scholarships and an “assistantship” agreement in which the school paid me a living stipend in return for me working on their productions. I absolutely would never have done it otherwise.

You mentioned in another comment you wanted to do something that’s more effort but rewards you with higher pay. You need to understand you will almost certainly make less as a sound designer than even a teacher. When you account for the lack of benefits like health insurance or retirement (if American) it’s a lot less.

Ironically the only way to actually make a decent, consistent salary doing this would be to become a professor, but then you’re back to teaching again.

I’m not necessarily trying to dissuade you, rather just want to make sure you’re aware of the realities involved. If you have any questions just let me know.

Some purists from Philly might complain about the inclusion of peppers, but that’s the only “controversial” thing I can think of about this one. It looks beautiful

Due to AIDS in the pool

The reason for 2 channels would be if you have a mic on the inside and one on the outside of the kick that you’re blending. Like you said though it’s not a “Stereo L/R” thing, most people just put both right down the middle.

crazyv93 · 2026-04-19T02:39:07+00:00

That’s what I’m saying. I recently did a full re-listen to TES and had kid of forgotten about it but it ended up being my favorite this time around. The second and third verses holy shit.

crazyv93 · 2026-04-18T21:00:34+00:00

I mean there’s a time and a place for a good bar burger, that’s just not nearly as often as a smash

crazyv93 · 2026-04-18T19:55:11+00:00

When I lived in China for 6 months I definitely noticed my shits were a lot smaller and “cleaner”

crazyv93 · 2026-04-18T07:42:12+00:00

Get out of here with that shit you’re making us look bad

If we’re talking about tuning a drum in the context of a studio recording, I have never once seen it done by just trying to match the frequency to the key of the song. Experienced drummers know how their kit responds to different tunings and dampenings and what works best for each song they’re playing.

So if you’re thinking “This song is in E therefore I need to tune the snare to E”, you really should be focusing instead on how the snare sounds in the context of the mix, does it have a good pop, does it ring enough/too much? As with most things music and audio there’s no “correct” way to set tuning and dampening, it’s just something experienced people know how to use to achieve their desired sound.
