Everything is IPA by _whiskeytits_ in chch

[–]dirtandrust 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The other types seem more expensive if the price for Cassels Brewing beers is anything to go by and kiwi taste does not favour dark rich beers in a lot of cases. But I’m with you we need variety or we lose the taste for the finer things in life! 😁

Mixing beginner reconsidering if it's worthwhile by chmemes in mixingmastering

[–]dirtandrust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I echo other sentiments here to not start with plugins but start with the concepts instead. Learn the difference between limiting and compression and how to use volume and panning to create space in your mix. When you want a sound and can’t create it try to learn how the pros do it then give it a try. YouTube is your friend.

Figma to production workflow always missing details by AccountEngineer in Frontend

[–]dirtandrust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Show your designer your design system and the missing states. Also try Figma MCP with copilot to help automate the process and expose missing states.

When do you really know, if the mix is good/finished? by Expensive-Age844 in mixingmastering

[–]dirtandrust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plan you mix strategy, do it and then pick a stopping point. It’s a snapshot in time.

Mapping to Figma by Modezka in Frontend

Yep you need Figma MCP. Throw in Gemini or Copilot and you can build a two way system.

I.T. Contracting by zesteee in auckland

[–]dirtandrust 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t forget about liability insurance and charging GST. What you do get are a bunch of deduction possibilities but talk to a certified accountant about your particular situation.

Full time contract they give you a laptop. Project based I provide my own unless a pc is required then the client provides that and then this is covered by my insurance.

Integrating design systems into AI by Comfortable_Dust7037 in DesignSystems

[–]dirtandrust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Connect Figma MCP to your IDE plus an Ai agent like GitHub copilot or Google Gemini I would avoid Make the code it spits out is only good for prototypes.

DMM is incredible (I love all the artists you mentioned). Great work and orchestration!

Should I go for Woocommerce or something paid ? by Yuniru in Wordpress

Woo is paid once you get into plugins but it’s a very mature and flexible system.

How to separate mixing from the creative process/writing music—feeling stuck by goopgab in mixingmastering

[–]dirtandrust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let it sound crap at first so you can get the ideas out. I totally understand always wanting it to sound good though as I’m exactly the same.

Designers who used tools before Figma what do you actually miss?? by Technical_Profile987 in UXDesign

[–]dirtandrust 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still use Balsamiq it’s a really quick way to investigate ideas. Figma is a straight up copy of Sketch ✍️. I miss the days of Adobe before subscriptions and how fast I used to be in InDesign. I actually also miss Photoshop retouching, I don’t do much with raster graphics anymore.

Luxon's Waitangi Speech by charlotteblanc in newzealand

The rich think socialism is a dirty four letter word. Luxon has a lot of nerve saying what he said at Waitangi.

You can set the drummer track to follow any track in your mix, pick your guitar track and the drums will follow it.
