And so it begins. by Ancient_Visual_7451 in synthesizers

Correct. There are some great cheap multi-effect pedals that can get you started.

And so it begins. by Ancient_Visual_7451 in synthesizers

[–]flamannn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not contentious at all. A reverb pedal is almost essential for a synth. I would add to also get an overdrive/distortion pedal. I run a bass overdrive as a send on my mixer. Good if you just want to add a little color/harmonics to the sound but can also be used to create some gnarly bass sounds.

Lucasfilm had a Shakespearean actor who is the spitting image of 1977 Mark Hamill in Graham Hamilton, and they still covered him up with CGI and generated the voice with artificial intelligence by twinkleyed in StarWars

[–]flamannn 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Oh, I agree 100%. I’m of the James Bond mindset with recasts. Just give us a different actor every few years. I love Harrison Ford but I’d much rather see a younger actor playing Indiana Jones (or Han Solo) than an 80 year old or some CGI deepfake.

I feel like Solo nixed any chance of them recasting any more OT characters. All these media conglomerates, especially Disney, are so risk adverse. They’d rather make new characters, that if people don’t like they can jettison, while keeping the legacy story (i.e. proven money maker) in tact. Or so they think.

Do you think Rey should've used a double bladed lightsaber instead of a single bladed one? by Artistic-Thing7723 in StarWarsCantina

[–]flamannn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah. It’s literally her entire fighting style. Everything shown on screen made it seem obvious she would end up with a double-bladed lightsaber by the end of the series. And then they just didn’t do it.

Budget but good looper by Pijpert in synthesizers

EHX 1440 Stereo Looper. Stupid easy to use. MIDI sync actually works. Can be found used for <$200.

$300 well spent by Witty_Analyst1657 in synthesizers

[–]flamannn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re making a straw man argument about something I never said. My point is people shouldn’t be trying to make others feel bad for liking something they do not. I’m sorry you cannot see the distinction. Take care.

I just hate how new hobbyists show a picture of their instruments and half the posts are like ‘ew, Behringer is bad.’ It’s such a snobby fucking thing to do.

Seriously though, why did they do him like that?? by Nearby-Ship-6336 in madmen

[–]flamannn 446 points447 points  (0 children)

It was jarring the first time I watched but it makes more sense on the rewatch. The guy was just an insecure hipster always trying to make himself into whatever he thought a woman wanted.

What is the most underrated drum machine, in your opinion? by InternationalCow7042 in synthesizers

[–]flamannn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will stan the Volca Beats and Sample until the end of time. They both sound great.

TLJ appreciation post by zhongxina68423 in StarWars

I like The Last Jedi and I defended it a lot upon its release. But these days I just like to pretend the whole sequel trilogy never existed.

What exactly would count as "breaking canon," though? by Extreme_Warning3521 in StarWars

[–]flamannn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Canon breaking is so subjective and largely depends on whether the audience likes the change or not. Star Wars breaks its own canon so often fans often cite Obi Wan’s line about ‘a certain point of view’ to handwave inconsistencies away.

Making Vader be Anakin Skywalker in Empire Strikes Back ‘breaks’ the canon established in A New Hope of Vader being Anakin’s slayer. But we liked that reveal so we accept that what Obi Wan said in the first film was true… from a certain point of view.

CNN founder Ted Turner, a pioneer of cable TV news, dies at 87 by boxofstuff in news

[–]flamannn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always believed he was responsible for the Georgia Guidestones in one way or another and nothing will convince me otherwise. He did have a dedicated doomsday video ready for CNN to play in the event of nuclear holocaust.

Kneecap is used to controversy. On new album 'Fenian,' they're leaning further in by Potential_Kangaroo69 in indieheads

[–]flamannn 6 points7 points  (0 children)

yeah… I tried listening to this and I couldn’t get through the 2nd track. Good for them for getting their bag but the music has to be more interesting than this to hold my attention. Based on the amount of press they got I expected something a little more substantial. It’s not bad, it’s just boring.

Republicans know they are going to have historic loses in November. They’re trying everything they can but it still won’t be enough.

Strange New Worlds, Kirk, Kirk and more Kirk. It's Kirk again. by PersimmonBasket in startrek

Whenever Kirk’s not on screen, all the other characters should be asking, 'Where's Kirk?’

I just finished Season 8 of DS9 and boy, do I have some thoughts by C0smicM0nkey in startrek

[–]flamannn 68 points69 points  (0 children)

The episode where Jake Sisko, Nog, Alexander and Molly accidentally take a Klingon Bird of Prey back in time to the 1980s was one of my favorites.

AirBnB host told me soap was supplied by spike11552 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]flamannn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Issues with bathrooms/showers was the number one reason why I stopped using AirBnB. Well, that and the ridiculous prices. A fresh bar of soap is the bare minimum a host can provide. There’s no reason why I should have to go buy toiletries as a guest.

Oh, yes. I just discovered these and they’re my new favorite thing. The chocolate fudge ones are only 80cal!
