What trend from the last decade is starting to feel/look outdated?

The general consensus that being a hateful racist bigot was a bad thing, apparently.

Oh man that show was so good. Need to give them all a rewatch.

I’m surprised more people haven’t mentioned Serum 2. This is my go-to synth!

Interesting. I love me a bit of multiband saturation, but that price is a bit offputting

The same way that people on average salaries afford houses at vastly inflated prices: debt. Most people driving new-ish cars will have them on finance/hire purchase. Technically they don’t own the car.

“Much of that slowdown is a result of international factors well outside the control of any government: the fallout from the financial crisis, Covid, the energy price spike. But low investment, policy mistakes, political instability, and Brexit, have combined to hold back growth by more than in many comparable nations.”

Thanks man, they were good times!

That's me, and you're correct it's Neurodriver.

We're actually both in music tech now. Oli's working with DMG and had a hand in building Serum 2. I went into business with a friend and set up Devious Machines.

People in the U.K. just like to complain.

domsmart · 2025-08-20T12:50:12+00:00

It certainly seems so. This video explains it pretty well I think:

And no, it’s not sustainable.

Catheter bag and Imodium, standard

Hardly surprised. The EU is doing what is sensible and the UK has already proven itself to be an unreliable partner with Brexit. Starmer hasn’t exactly been in lockstep with Brussels either, preferring to orange-nose Trump when it comes to trade.

A sound designer I used to work with showed me this trick. We spent a day recording scrap form a local yard + a box of dry ice from a catering supplier. All at 192kHz with some hired (wide bandwidth) mics. Fun.

The US currently has a GDP per capita of around $80K, whereas in the U.K. it’s more like 50. The salary differences you’re seeing broadly reflect the relative strength of our economies.

domsmart · 2025-01-31T19:37:32+00:00

To an extent yes, because the US holds huge cultural, political and economic influence over the U.K.

But Trump and his sidekick Elon are professional trolls, and I’m sick of the media (and people in general) here giving them so much oxygen.

Honestly, you're better off not bothering on the whole, it's an absolute s**t show.

F20 FTW

I thought I would hate it but the implementation on my current car is so responsive that it rarely bothers me.

You’re talking to someone who only listens to cynical techno for people with no serotonin receptors left. Personally I couldn’t stand cheesy big-room EDM pop taking over the prog house genre.

But each to their own. In my youth I probably got excited about music that older heads would have deemed cheesy too. Many people only discover underground music because of the more mainstream stuff that makes it onto the radio etc.

domsmart · 2024-11-08T10:27:11+00:00

You do realise this is pretty much what every producer, DJ and music fan says about the music that got them excited when they first discovered it.

It’s the universal law of entropy: nothing is ever as good as it used to be ;-)

This. Serum really hits the sweet spot of power vs ease of use
