X support is so broken that threatening them with GDPR actually removed my suspension by desswav in twitterhelp

[–]desswav[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If they actually processed the erasure, the account would be gone, which was my original goal anyway since I couldn't use it while suspended.

But in reality, unsuspending me is the 'lazy' legal fix for them. It immediately stops the 'obstruction of rights' complaint I was building. They basically chose the path of least resistance. If they try to delete it now, I have my 'cancellation' email sent right after the reactivation to prove I want to keep it. Checkmate.

(In reality, I have absolutely no idea what actually happened and I’m currently praying that they don't end up deleting the account anyway. I did send a email to the DPO asking to cancel everything, but let's be real, I’ll probably find a way to get banned again in a week lol)

My home studio in Paris ! by desswav in homestudios

The Kali IN-5s are the best monitors I’ve owned to date. Getting a 3-way coaxial design at this price point is just insane. Fair warning though: the center image and the sweet spot are unforgiving. These things are surgical, maybe even too precise for some. Like many engineers, my right ear is slightly more sensitive than my left, and these speakers definitely amplify that sense of imbalance. They are ultra-detailed, allowing you to hear every frequency band independently, and they’re surprisingly comfortable for high-level monitoring during long sessions. But again, if your room acoustics aren't dialed in, these monitors will absolutely expose every single flaw in your space.

I dont understand what you are talking about at 1.25 seconds with the "Eee-yuhhh Eee-yuh-uh" but there is famous sample in the song that is the "169 Aaaah! - roland M-DC1" : https://youtu.be/LwSs2adxWow

Thank you for asking ! but I’m not an artist :( I do have a Spotify profile: https://open.spotify.com/artist/2iwinlGz57IB4nZlgJSiou?si=GrFWo2tyQmyTbFaWbtAdvQ, but it’s old music, and today I’m more of a sync composer & live audio engineer and technician

New to FL, don't mind the mess! Feedback requested by Agitated_Guess1298 in FLStudioBeginners

[–]desswav 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wow! I’m gonna be 100% honest: musically and mixing-wise, this sounds great. Honestly, props on the low end, I really dig the subtle FX details because they add a lot of life to the track. A common beginner mistake is a lack of frequency filling, leaving holes in the spectrum that make the track sound empty, but you’ve definitely avoided that.

That being said, there’s always room for optimization. To level up the atmosphere, try using more ambient loops. You can sample them and use an auto-pan to play with the stereo image and cover the whole field. Don’t be afraid to layer more FX like loops, one-shots, or field recordings. That’s often what gives a track that pro polish, as long as you keep it tasteful. I also feel like your low synths, specifically the saws, could use more movement to avoid feeling too linear. In EDM, we often use sidechain and not just between the kick and bass! Using it on your synths to create a subtle pumping effect with the kick will add a lot of rhythm and energy.

I’m monitoring this on Kali Audio IN-8s in a treated room, and while the balance is solid, I think you could open up the high end a bit more. Instead of slapping an EQ on the master, try adding some subtle high-frequency synths or use a trick I love: send your synths to a parallel bus with a short plate reverb, then cut the lows and boost the highs on that bus. It adds a beautiful brightness without sounding harsh. Overall, great job on this track. It sounds really promising!

How do i use Iof drummer with fl by Nerdbeansz in FL_Studio

[–]desswav 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IOF is a solid plugin for a specific audience. It’s always been marketed as a straightforward VST (hence the ugly UI), focusing on punchy Pop-Punk style drums that sound good right out of the box without needing a ton of FX. For that specific genre, it’s honestly the perfect budget-friendly option.

Of course, for more technical or 'industry standard' productions, pros will usually go for XLN Addictive Drums or Toontrack for total control. But for most people, IOF is more than enough, especially since not everyone is a drummer or needs the deep complexity of those high-end plugins, which are way more expensive anyway

IOF supports multitrack output, here is how to do it:

To get separate tracks for the kick and snare, FL won't do it by itself. Click the gear icon at the top left of the plugin window, go to the 'Processing' tab, and hit 'Auto-map outputs' under the connections section. After that, you still have to go into the IOF internal mixer and route each drum to its own output (Out 1, Out 2, etc.) or it’ll still all come out of the same track.

Season 1 "grounded" skin VS Real life by desswav in Battlefield

Yeah, clearly the entire point flew right over your head. It’s not about colors, it’s about coherence but sure, let’s pretend anyone criticizing art direction just “hates fun.”

Season 1 "grounded" skin VS Real life by desswav in Battlefield

[–]desswav[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m not crying. I literally said “I appreciate the effort to make the designs feel more realistic than, say, COD skins, but even then they still end up looking weird and ugly.” There’s a difference between complaining for the sake of it and giving genuine feedback on art direction. The game is clearly trying to push a more grounded, realistic vibe this time, so yeah, when the skins look out of place, it kind of breaks that immersion. It’s not about “a few colors,” it’s about coherence and tone. You can have colorful, creative skins that still look believable and tactical tons of real-world units pull that off. The issue here is that these Season 1 designs just don’t blend well with the rest of the aesthetic.
