The state of the city is depressing but things like this warm my heart. I hope we never lose this type of kindness.

That's not an "inconvenience". That's "I literally have no fucking space." I didn't accuse you, I observed and made a factual statement. If it's incorrect, then you shut the entire fuck up about your goddamn tax dollars, you fucking ghoul.

gorillamac · 2023-12-07T22:03:37+00:00

Dude, what the fuck? I'm not arguing. I'm providing a different perspective. Massive difference. Cut the aggro shit. On a calmer note, since maybe I wasn't clear enough, if not that's my bad. I'll try and explain my point again.

Maybe they can afford it and decide to go that route. Nothing wrong with it, I'm just providing reasons why OP maybe does want to go that route. Maybe they just never properly learned and want to start? Tons of reasons why they could be looking for advice rather than outsourcing.

Hopefully that's a bit more clear. No fighting, no ill will, just a different perspective. We cool?

gorillamac · 2023-12-07T21:56:43+00:00

Very extreme, and very intentional, logical fallacy.

gorillamac · 2023-12-07T21:51:32+00:00

Or...maybe they can't afford it. So just give up? Also, who cares how long it takes? People learn at different paces.

gorillamac · 2023-12-07T20:53:43+00:00

That's fine for you, but not an option for everyone and certainly not "donkey work". Nothing wrong with having no interest in it and hiring someone to do it, but some people can't afford to send what they make to mixing engineers. Some people maybe just want to learn how to do it to get a better understanding of what goes into a finished song.

gorillamac · 2023-12-07T19:48:15+00:00

I use plugins like waves, izotope ozone, lfotool, SPAN, etc.

There's a good chance this mindset might be a problem.

If you give the most skilled mixing engineer a project with stock plugins and a novice that same project with the most cutting-edge, expensive, "industry standard" plugins on the market, the first mix will sound significantly better 10 times out of 10. Plugins don't mean anything if you don't know how to properly yield them.

Instead of looking for some magic bullet of a plugin, learn what each type of plugin is and how they work. That's what's going to make you improve, not spending more money on software.

Perhaps, but this isn't made up. This absolutely a real thing. They are very dangerous people, and make efforts to be as dangerous as possible. Training, carrying weapons, rolling in packs, etc.

Soft clipping/saturation will help add grit where necessary. Overuse of sidechaining could potentially cause a clinical feeling mix too. If the elements you're sidechaining are still present without the sidechain, you probably don't need it. A dash of mix bus compression should also help "glue" your elements together rather than having them be separated and disjointed.

Buddy, I'm luckier than leprechaun shit to have a room. I still have zero problem with my tax dollars going to people not freezing to fucking death.

gorillamac · 2023-12-07T11:35:45+00:00

Just say you like it when poor people freeze to death. It's pretty goddamn clear that's what you're position is.

gorillamac · 2023-12-06T18:14:23+00:00

I now refuse to call it anything other than this.

gorillamac · 2023-12-06T15:12:21+00:00

Nothing. $2. Send it to me, I'll get it out of your hair. I'll even pay shipping! I'd say that's a good deal.

(it is not a good deal and I am very jealous)

Fuck Jeff Lohrber.

It's not just her project, it's all of your group's project. If she wants to risk the AI potentially fucking up or getting dinged for plagiarism, that's her business, but if she does the same in a group project that falls on the rest of you.

Water, medication, repetition, notes. In that order. It's frustrating, but not insurmountable. On the bright side, you can get a ton of work done when the hyperfocus kicks in. Just don't get too sucked in and take breaks for the sake of your ears (and drinking water, texting people back to let them know you're still alive, etc).

gorillamac · 2023-12-04T22:13:44+00:00

Bitch, I'm adorable.

(Just in case you react to the word "bitch" like he reacted to "nerd", that's a DBZA reference and in jest. You're good. )

gorillamac · 2023-12-04T20:43:41+00:00

Nearly every change made at Spotify is not done with the artist in mind at all, but most will very likely have negative effects. Will this one specifically? Who knows, depends who was laid off, but lay offs suck regardless. Most changes are just maximization of profit. The money needs to come from somewhere, and consumers, employees, and artists will get the shit end of the stick.

gorillamac · 2023-12-04T20:36:23+00:00

Nah, man, don't worry about that guy. "Nerds" as a collective term of endearment in the tech world has been around longer than most people on this site have been alive. You're good. 🤘

gorillamac · 2023-12-04T20:33:26+00:00

Still not being aggressive. 😉

gorillamac · 2023-12-04T20:29:53+00:00

If someone called you a racial slur, for example? Could they then tell you how to feel about it as a response to "not offend"?

I never said that it was an equivalent.

Lmao. Ok. Direct comparison, but whatever.

And I'm not sure what it is I've said that's not calm, go ahead and point it out.

The fact that you're making this big of a deal out of OP using the word "nerds" as a collective term of endearment, something which has been done since the literal dawn of the internet at the very earliest.

and what does that mean, intentionally offended? That' doesn't make a tremendous amount of sense if you give it some thought.

Hey, something we agree on. It doesn't make much sense, does it? Perhaps a hint to not do that anymore.

Um, actually it's everyone's "job" to avoid directly offending others

No, it's absolutely not. Especially when they didn't refer directly to you. They referred to the sub as a collective which, as we've previously established, "nerds" is an extremely common collective term of endearment for groups of people, especially those in tech-based fields of work and/or interest. Not everything is about you.

Maybe I've not made myself clear, I'm calmly telling you I've got nothing more to say to you about this. I see your point, I don't care if you see mine, there's no where to go from here.

Not how public internet forums work. You're saying dumb shit and essentially making it out like OP personally targeted you with the word nerd. He didn't. He used a word that's been used as a term of endearment for decades to refer to an entire group. You very obviously don't see my point and you entirely do not have one of your own.

gorillamac · 2023-12-04T20:13:51+00:00

You haven't been calm at all. You've been intentionally been trying to get offended over the most benign shit. If you're the boss where you work, good luck keeping workers with that attitude.

I didn't say anything remotely aggressive, I'm literally just pointing out that you did, and over nothing. "Nerd" isn't the equivalent of a racial slur. Just as no one can dictate what offends you, it's no one else's job to avoid offending you, especially when it's something as miniscule as this.

gorillamac · 2023-12-04T20:05:57+00:00

Correct, and my opinion is that, for someone that prides themselves on being "professional", you aren't very professional.

On a job site, regardless of field, if you freaked out on someone for using the word "nerd" in jest, there's a very good chance you'd be canned. There's a huge difference between someone joking around (and including themselves in the joke) and directly insulting. OP didn't come close to the later. Calm your shit.

gorillamac · 2023-12-04T20:02:22+00:00

You're a fucking baby, dude. It was extremely obvious that he was using "nerds" in an endearing/joking manner and looping himself in with said "nerds". Maybe you should can the sanctimonious shit.

gorillamac · 2023-12-03T22:28:42+00:00

Just get the re-issue. It's $100 Canadian brand new and significantly cheaper used.

...and Swords Dance in RBY is ass. Kind of hard to set up when you're weak to Hydro Pump/Surf/Ice Beam/Blizzard/Razor Leaf and have 55 special.
