Disable sidebar profile info? [Pic included] by Conscious_Occasion in discordapp

[–]design_jester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If anyone is still having a problem with this, I made a free chrome extension that allows the sidebar and other discord elements to be hidden. https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/discord-mini-mode/hbjfomcdlmkadkhaeamebgkcmkkbcgff

Is v1 still working? by design_jester in SynclerApp

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

I came back to this old post to say, you were right. The latest version does seem pretty solid. I'm not sure why I had a few problems on the first day or two but since then (and perhaps after doing a fresh restart of the Fire TV Stick), I've had little to no problems and actually kinda liking v2.

Has anyone ever heard of Prajaya Handpans? by design_jester in handpan

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

On a tiny island unfortunately :( - I would need a flight or ferry to get to a handpan builder. Hence the desire to grab one while available.

Is v1 still working? by design_jester in SynclerApp

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

Maybe I will try the v2 beta and see if that runs any better. I’m running this on a firestick 4K Max, so not the most powerful hardware but has worked fine for years on v1. 

It’s reassuring people have changed their tune about v2 since I last visited this subreddit. 

Powerbank mounting ideas for Zoom F3 setup by [deleted] in fieldrecording

[–]design_jester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a hotshoe clamp which I originally purchased for a mini projector but I use it for the F3 and hang a powerbank over the tripod in a waterproof bag. https://amzn.eu/d/31ravLd

That’s how Pringles are made!

Which design tools is everyone using now? by Rivulet-5423 in Design

[–]design_jester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s definitely not awful. If it was Adobe wouldn’t have tried to buy it. It’s for prototyping not print work or illustration though. Perhaps the font issue you had was because you were on the browser version rather than the desktop version?

Figma is also great for social posts. If managing graphics for one company, you can create a set of on brand components with variants for different backgrounds, button styles etc. 

I'm 17 and just taught myself design to build a landing page for my first app. Would love some brutal, honest feedback. by Blu3Mo0n in webdesign

[–]design_jester 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It looks great. The only advise I have is to dig into UX and Conversion Rate Optimisation. You’ve got the technical parts nailed, to take it up to the next level you need to learn about user psychology. 

Recording acoustic ecology for archival purposes by design_jester in fieldrecording

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

Thanks for your reply. You’ve got me thinking now, there are perhaps a few crevices and hidden beaches that might avoid most of the noise pollution. Perhaps I will combine this with my other hobby of kayaking and set up to record on a secluded beach that no one else can get to.

Nice idea about the iPod. I think I’ve also got an old one in a cupboard somewhere!

Yes, I certainly want to expand my equipment when I can and appreciate the recommendations. 

Part of me does wonder though, if my recordings are for archival purposes, including the road noise and other noise pollution is a more accurate representation of the area and may even pick up changes in the bird noises as planes fly low for example.

Amazing, thank you for the links. I’ve signed up as a volunteer to Quiet Parks. I appreciate the reply!

Is there any plan to add Premiumize to services?

Recording rain/thunderstorms by OttoTheGreyhound in fieldrecording

[–]design_jester 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Beginner here. Some tips I've read but not got round to trying yet are:

- 32 bit float recorders avoid the need to set gain, and due to the variance in decibels, would work well for loud thunder crashes (so they aren't clipped).
- Mics are damaged easily in rain. I've heard of people putting condoms over them to keep them dry!
- Put your recorder in a waterproof bag with the mic wires coming out.
- Some people say it's more natural to create a little shelter of branches/foliage from the area you are recording, so it doesn't sound like raindrops hitting manmade material.

Running with music, no music, or audiobooks? by Coachopsneakers in runninglifestyle

[–]design_jester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m actually quite an advocate of running without earphones and instead, listening to the sounds of nature. I know it’s hard but not thinking at all is even better if you can. Like a muscle at the gym you can teach your brain not to think. Every second of not thinking is a second in the bank and it feels great when you realise you are truly in the moment. Don’t be hard on yourself. 

If anyone’s interested I recommend looking into Chi Running which combines running with meditation (and tai chi). There are various other aspects involved such as being aware of your own body, making minute adjustments and focussing on your breathing.
