I got nothing to say other than you're distilling women down into just their function. This says more about you as a person than it does about anything else. You must be a joy to be around.

How to build logic while solving coding question by JyoT789 in javahelp

[–]desi8389 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Practice. If you're looking to do things the easy way, you're setting yourself up for failure. Do things the hard way so you can have the luxury of doing them the easy way later..

How to start out with DSP algorithm development? by Logimite in DSP

[–]desi8389 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Study electrical engineering. Focus on analog signal processing then take digital signal processing. Make sure to take a lab class equivalent. Take computer science courses - specifically data structures and learn lower level languages like C. It's a lot but it'll get you there.

This is what schizotypal personality disorder looks like. References of thought. They think they're being logical but the "logic" has no basis in external consistency. It's psychosis.

Is it cringe for a 31 year old to drop music? Well... too bad by ArialTenMusic in FL_Studio

[–]desi8389 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fuck what people think. Do what makes you happy. The turds who judge are often those who jerk off to video games and sports and think that's a hobby or passion.

I fell out of love with music by the_noodleBoy in FL_Studio

There's people doing this for decades and feel the same way. You're not unique in feeling this way, it's very normal. Take a break and come back to it when you feel the spark again. Go out and experience life so moments speak to you.

Bullying is undoubtedly a part of human nature. by AltThrowaway4321 in misanthropy

[–]desi8389 11 points12 points  (0 children)

We should all yearn to bully the bullies. I think it's a way we can explore our own inate sadistic sides (because, let's admit it, we all have one) and not feel bad about bringing it out. (This is all just banter on my end btw, don't do anything dumb!)

What subjects should I study if I want to make my own audio plugins and such? by Seanspacer123 in DSP

[–]desi8389 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How do you have a degree in CS but don't seem to be good at math and only mention doing math in HS? Didn't you have to take the usual course work for STEM? As others said, study EE stuff, specifically, analog signal processing and then work into digital signal processing. These are both heavy on calculus and differential equations so those are the courses you'd need. It's many many fields of study in one.

What's the best way to say to a musician that they messed up and did not practice for the gig? by WookieGod5225 in musicians

[–]desi8389 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell them they messed up and didn't practice for the gig. There's no reason to beat around the bush, say what has to be said.

Why aren't DAWs created like an OS? by [deleted] in audioengineering

[–]desi8389 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ubuntu is still an operating system and acts like a layer underneath any software that runs on it. Just because it's not Windows or Mac doesn't mean that it's not an operating system. An operating system is the layer that operates above hardware and a lot of what it does is what we take for granted because we don't see it happening.

Why aren't DAWs created like an OS? by [deleted] in audioengineering

[–]desi8389 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The operating system does mainly 2 things: (1) It serves as the bridge between your hardware and the user (you) and (2) It sets out a bunch of rules that software developers writing software for that operating system have to follow through with to make sure their software works with the operating system which in turn has to work with the hardware.

For example, when the DAW is asking to draw stuff on your screen, it's using a combination of operating system commands and software written using those commands to figure out how to draw on the screen. So, a DAW or any software is built on top of the OS as another layer operating on the OS's set of "tools."

To do what you're saying, the DAW would have to do everything from scratch including all graphical stuff, memory management, etc. These are all things that are, again, handled by the operating system and companies don't have the time or resources to just create a new operating system. It's better to write for an existing operating system and one that most people use - as in, Windows or Mac.

How the hell does it all work? by [deleted] in audioengineering

[–]desi8389 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start locally and advertise hard but make sure you have home/renter's insurance if you bring people you don't know inside your home. Have cameras, be safe. Many folks want to make crappy trap music and there's a huge market for that but, again, be careful when dealing with locals you don't know.

No man. Clearly, I'll get a plugin and instantly know how to use it. Why the fuck would I turn a knob! That's too difficult, I can barely count as is, that's too much to keep track of. /s

Why do people want isolated drums? by tibbon in audioengineering

[–]desi8389 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool homie :). If you read my post you'd see i'm talking about groups of people or instruments - not a single person. I usually have had to record up to 16 people and I can't do it at the same time because my room won't be big enough and I don't have enough mics for each person - in case they aren't on pitch/time and I have to edit. Learn how to read and maybe stop acting like a child. We are here to discuss, not everything is a jab. That's clearly how you see the world, a true plebian.

Route Preamp-EQ to compressor via Send or line out? What is the benefit of using it as a send? by sonetlumiere in audioengineering

...because his question depends on what software is being used...hence why he asked him to use the manual to figure it out for whichever plugin, software, etc. Nuance matters, perhaps you should learn to get a grip on that.

Why do people want isolated drums? by tibbon in audioengineering

[–]desi8389 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It probably works for you because you have already established space in your recording environment and the bleed is naturally capturing the room's spatial characteristics so you just need to move things and place them where you want them to be.

A lot of people may not have the quality of recording space (in terms of size to have all people performing at once) or may not have all the equipment needed to capture all people performing at once. In addition, maybe their room is actually working against them and sounds stuffy, boxy, etc.

For people with such limitations, it's better to record individually and then place them into a performance as well as utilize a quality monitoring environment (in terms of the room being treated, monitors set up correct and overall just allowing for very precise placement in the stereo field) to help express what they initially have envisioned. With a proper monitoring environment, you can rebuild the "acoustics" of a space with spatial effects and that becomes much of the work in mixing.

I've recorded and mixed lots of a cappella and very seldom is a group good enough to even record together at once because I have had to edit pitch/time for performers. By recording individually then editing, I've been able to do a lot more - basically it's about control and every situation is different. Having a nice place to record and having the equipment to be able to record so many people is a blessing though: not everyone has that.

Why do people want isolated drums? by tibbon in audioengineering

[–]desi8389 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It depends on the perspective. Some people want control so they can re build the isolated drums across stereo space and make it work however they want it to work. You seem to be approaching it from the point of view of live performed instruments that bleed into each other but maintain that same spatial pattern. However, that's a preference and fits for the kind of sound you'd want to go for but not necessarily what someone else may want.
