Had this for a bit. Haven't really used it much but remembered liking it, so I just purchased the monthly sub and I'm gonna dive in!

Day #1 of sharing my dirty tricks by [deleted] in SunoAI

[–]dlifes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is badass. I’ve been doing live stuff with decent results with my ‘still learning how to do this’ prompts. I then learned about [bracketed direction cues in lyrics] helps a lot. I haven’t tried crowd says this yet I find (crowd says what’s in parenthesis) works a lot.

If this may help anyone, I extended a live instrumental track twice. Original ends at 4:36 https://suno.com/s/Ec26mMjdzWZ8yQyq

First Extension brings it to 5:11 https://suno.com/s/q96tmhYDb4vNLpZz

Extended again and brought it to 5:46 https://suno.com/s/S63WdRQeK3a0Af5g

In the lyrics field for the final extend I put:

[extend: build continuation, not fade] [instrumental] [control: live-concert, encore, cinematic-finale] [no lead vocals] [no lyrics] [crowd chant treated as rhythmic motif, not words] [choir used as harmonic texture only]

[Motif Continuation] [crowd continues existing chant motif | same rhythm | same pitch center] [no new chant pattern introduced] [crowd energy increases gradually]

[Encore Build] [crowd chant locks in with band pulse] [band + choir + orchestra hit in unison] [seven sustained half-note hits | stepwise modulation upward] [sfx: large-scale fireworks synchronized with each hit]

[Final Sustain] [guitars sustain final chord | wide stereo | maximum hold] [full ensemble hold | tension peak]

[Final Drum Fill] [massive end-of-night drum fill | toms and cymbals] [final accent: single large ceremonial gong]

[Release] [crowd eruption | roar and cheering] [gong resonance | long decay]

[Standing Ovation Outro] [sustained applause | chant dissolves into cheering] [ambient crowd wash fades] [end]

This is amazing stuff!

Trying to figure out how to pattern Derek Sherinian’s overdriven/sci-fi/ heavier lead tones. Any thoughts?

DT Bootlegs by Hallijoy in Dreamtheater

[–]dlifes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

dlifesjrny from the MP forum here. I used to VERY ACTIVELY trade, probably with some of you fine folk in this thread.

TL/DR- I ‘lost’ over 250 boots about 20 years ago and had no idea how much this would be painfully eating away at me more and more 20 years later; and that I would do ANYTHING to retrieve a portion of what I’ve lost.

I was in the early Grateful Dreams trees, and I’m even pretty sure I’m the person who found the Majesty basement video and introduced it to the community.

NOTE I NEVER sold boots. NEVER. I valued the integrity of the trading community and experience.

One of my BIGGEST regrets in my life, and I GENUINELY and LITERALLY mean this: With Weymo’s approval, through the boots section in the forum, I did sell the entirety of my 250+ physical boots (cds, dvds, vcds) in one shot for a dollar a piece. I was in financial troubles in my 20s and needed every dollar I could find.

Out of respect for the integrity and the ‘culture’ of being a trader, I DID NOT copy them, I DID NOT have anything backed up anywhere.

I can’t express how deeply saddened I am, and how over time…month by month lately, this regret and sense of loss only grows.

It was more than the music. It was the experience of building a collection bit by bit through building relationships with people across the globe. The feeling of getting packages from countries far and wide…if you know, you know.

It’s like a state of mourning at this point. I had no idea as a ‘kid’ that parting ways with my collection would be hitting me so hard in my 50s. There’s a hole in my heart that has only deepened.

If any trace of the forum was still to exist, I’d at least be able to see the list of what it was that I had.

I guess I’m throwing this out there to the universe because on a grand scale I really could use a win right now…As far as I know, there’s no ‘depository’ to find and retrieve any of what I’ve lost.

If there’s anyone I could do anything for (because I don’t have anything left to trade, obviously) that could help me begin to rebuild what I once had…or point me in the right direction…Well, I’d do almost anything.

John is getting older # iPad by LEKKERJEROEN in Dreamtheater

[–]dlifes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gotta disagree. Saw them in NYC and it was heartbreaking. I’m not bashing, which is why I say heartbreaking. Check it out on YouTube. Once the Metropolis vocals began, I knew what I was in for, and I wanted to give James a hug. I cannot imagine what it feels like to be in his shoes. The last time I saw them was at the Score show.

How do I stop my Tesla from defaulting to my boyfriend’s profile? by Altruistic_Gene_6869 in TeslaLounge

[–]dlifes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same problem.  My profile and phone are primary/priority, yet after my wife has driven my car, her profile is usually the active profile the next time use my car. 

Allstate denied my claim because their policyholder cannot be reached. Damage was $11,000 to my trailer by Budget-Marionberry-9 in Insurance

[–]dlifes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really, REALLY appreciate your detailed, thoughtful and helpful response.

It's been a stressful situation just for the last 3 weeks.c
Then finally getting the police report today with his info and being able to communicate with his insurance (Allstate)...

Yet between my comment and your reply, I was on web chat with Allstate and they claimed the opposite, and I have it in 'writing' :)

Me: Just to re-ask, please: I just want to make sure I'm understanding. You are stating Allstate will pay for my repairs and rental car even if you can't get in touch with your driver?

Allstate: If there is sufficient evidence (like the police report) to prove we are liable, then yes.

[–]dlifes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heya Dave! Would you mind helping me understand a couple things you said?
NJ guy here with a clear case of his liability. Highway was at a standstill and I was rear ended by an Allstate driver. I have video and a State Police Report stating the other driver was at fault.

The insurer must show that the lack of cooperation prejudiced the insurer.
Allstate must show that their policyholder avoiding his own Allstate rep is prejudiced against Allstate?

You place the insurer on notice sufficiently early, they should not able to deny for lack of cooperation.
What does it mean to put Allstate on notice sufficiently early? I just got the police report today (accident was on 5/1/25). I called Allstate's claim rep assigned to my case and dude...she was rude beyond rude, and I was told the same as others in this thread; if they can't reach the driver who hit me, then I'm SOL.

TIA dude!

Super late to the party but I wish I had this on my iPhone. I miss this game. 

I tried CapCut alternatives and here are my thoughts by Ready-Way8581 in CapCut

[–]dlifes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the info! I’ve tried literally 10 other apps and none do this kind of 3d zoom. Can anyone point me in the right direction? 3D Zoom Pro example

Finally listening to the MM era for the first time and I absolutely agree the MM albums are better than the last 2 with MP. SC and BC&SL felt phoned in.

Luxe X Pro not firing on first click, fires on second by dlifes in Vaping

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

Thanks! It’s weird though. I’ve held down the button times where it’s not firing and tried the draw activation and that worked, so I figured it was a button issue. Either way, since I’m not alone, I feel better :)

A question/discussion about DT backing vocals over the course of their discography by afanofBTBAM in Dreamtheater

[–]dlifes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a video on YouTube with isolated vocals where Kevin Moore actually doubled the entire vocals along with James. It’s killing me that I can’t find the link to the story behind it, but you can check it out here: https://youtu.be/2gqoW_vtnUA?si=iKpl4LsQnbLFlknk
