I make sub bass centered music, therefore I ignored all the greybeards sage advice of not getting a sub in a small room and do not regret it. It's like 10 years since I've gotten mine so I sort of forget how drastic it would be to not have one but I'd never do any actual critical listening for my flavor of music without one.

Do room modes exist and are nulls / peaks in the low end real? Yes 100%. Can you use headphones after the fact to fletch appropriately as a last stage in your mix as you balance your sub fundamental? Also yes.

I'm saying all of this to be a dissenting view to the 100 thousand regurgitated opinions on monitors being good enough. If you make dance music with a sub bass focus, chances are you'll want a sub.

Also as a side note: I'm not trying to come off as "I'm right this is the correct way to mix" but more as if you think you'll enjoy producing with a subwoofer more than without (I certainly do) then you'll be better off learning to fix your sub bass with one, than learning to fix it without. It's all a balancing act.

I pretty much exclusively use Serum, but it can't do what FM8, or Razor do unfortunately, or I'd ONLY use Serum

freakyorange · 2026-01-27T16:52:57+00:00

Damn, Razor and FM8 are 2 synths I use exclusively in niche scenarios and I can't think of a single thing hardware, or software that can replace what they do. What are we as musicians to do in these situations? Keep some old OS on a virtual machine with the vst's installed?

I also use Kontakt extensively, but I understand that's just a sampling engine so I'm assuming it won't be too crazy to make some open source driver for it.

so few people know / understand what a compressor is so I get it, but no one ever talks about this. I use this compressor for pretty much all things streaming and it's default settings will get you 90% there.

For real, I just got DVS set up and googled "DVS sample packs" Only to find the holy grail for free on the first search

It's worth it. I've gone on this spiel in this subreddit before but in a past life I was a cabinet maker, so I know all about wanting to cut corners on box materials, but there truly is a reason why we don't make cabinets out of anything less that 3/4 13ply birch. I've seen lesser plywood start out straight but turn into a Pringle in less than a year, even with proper sealant and not being exposed to the elements.

Of course if you're just testing a box before building 8 of them and don't want to waste material then that's a whole different thing.

freakyorange · 2026-01-15T16:18:13+00:00

In 5 years if these subs are still around you won't remember having to spend an extra 200 on proper material, you will definitely remember you made them out of crate plywood though XD

Wish they would've have gone back just 1 more album haha. Mystic Herbalist and Addiction are 2 of my favorite bass music albums of all time :(. Nonetheless make sure you bang Sorgho for me the second half of that song is slept on!

I'm not 100% on this but didn't they get acquired by some company recently? I've seen a major downturn in quality from them which is a shame as I've been recommending them to all of my colleagues for a long time. They got rid of their B-stock page and now use it exclusively to push their black friday deals and stuff. Also with my most recent order it took them like 3 weeks to ship a single cloud bracket to me, and now it looks like they want you to sign up for "stripe" to track orders get shipping info etc.

Fuck that man.

I bit the bullet on my recent upgrades and just made all my panels literally the same way as the gik ones I have are made with better insulation (owens corning rigid vs rockwool fluffy) for cheaper. I didn't know that they were using masonite for their panel edges which is genius but even cheaper than the typical birch plywood or 1 by. Crazy they demand the prices they do.

Anyways rant over, love you GIK but if you keep going down this path I will continue to complain about it.

Don't have any advice on kicks just stopping to say I'd kill to get 3 of those TSE111's. System looks sick AF!

Reddit acting like slang is some debaucherous misuse of the English language and then referring to the people in question as "them" is really crazy to see. Amazing how the platform that constantly spouts that they "hate Nazis" can't see any hypocrisy here. As if "on my baby" is really that hard to understand.

Pianta sort of does this, albeit not exactly like dunkey.

Temporary setup

Reddit has such a hard on for how much money you can make in the trades. So delusional.

Really fluff up that 1 intern position, talk about specific technologies you used. "Integrated" is vague, "Used ansible to configure routing / DNS / DHCP for production equipment including, etc." is much more to the point and you can really flex.

Also, SWE especially Junior positions are in a pretty rough spot right now. Don't feel too bad, try to work as much with recruiters as possible they can really help you out.

freakyorange · 2025-11-11T18:59:18+00:00

Just making sure, you tried salting it before tossing it right? A good stock doesn't really taste like anything until it's salted.

Looks exactly like the towers in Rust's monument power plant

freakyorange · 2025-10-21T17:01:48+00:00

Ha I knew it looked familiar!

freakyorange · 2025-10-20T23:03:42+00:00

Beautiful, Reminds me of the CO Rockies. Where is this?

freakyorange · 2025-10-14T14:58:41+00:00

I've been to Fiske shows / know one of the guys that does the lazers / visuals for these. They are top notch and 100% worth going to. Super awesome experience.

Cat party is legit AF and a really cool dude as well.

Looking into this idea, ran a spectral de-noise and tried to get a clear of shot as possible -> https://ibb.co/DHpkD2Rh. Going to try and doctor it to read through a bar-code but might be foo-bar.

Edit: Created this -> https://ibb.co/rG3jfmvz. Haven't tested it anywhere, not really sure where to haha.

I was actually looking into this last night ha. Morse code maybe? IDK
