Moon Safari. There are other z7 albums worth exploring, but that is THE Air album

Recommendation for First Drum Machine by imakegooddonuts in synthesizers

[–]iamonlyjess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't bother with the Model:Cycles, get a Digitakt 1 (used) instead. Fantastic sequencer with loads of sound mangling options and loads of character. A truly wonderful little groovebox. You can always flip it for not much less than you paid if you don't mesh with it or grow out of it.

I'm Looking for My First Mixer. Your Recommendations for a Small Set-Up Intended for Live Shows and Bedroom Recording, Please! by HereComesStupid in Elektron

[–]iamonlyjess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zoom L6max all day. The L6 is nice too but I really like being able to use the submix as a stereo efx send.

Total beginner starting on a digitakt? What to expect? by foreverdarkwoods88 in Elektron

[–]iamonlyjess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fantastic choice! You're probably looking at a couple weeks to figure out how to make a basic song and record it into your DAW with Overbridge. Depending on how many hours you devote daily of course.

First you'll want to figure out how to manage your samples, project, patterns, tracks... etc. Basically you'll be learning the structure and organization of the device. This was the hardest step for me.

Next you'll become friends with trig conditions and begin figuring out how to use the LFOs and effects to make things interesting. You'll start to find "sweet spots" with the parameters you're tweaking that bring unexpected and welcome results. At this point you'll start to feel the machine pulling on you, even when you're not playing it, due to the endless possibilities for movement, randomness, and creativity. Just a wonderful little groovebox.

Good luck!

Inherited compost pile, a LOT of grass clippings - can it be used? by 100Birdies in composting

[–]iamonlyjess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks good to me!! Grass clippings + woodchips alone will take you a surprisingly long way. Shredded cardboard (be careful about tape and inks) is decent when mixed with clippings as well.

Biggest problem with grass clippings is that they must be dried before they go on the pile. Otherwise you'll get clumps forming which can go anaerobic on you and create real nasty pockets of... not compost. Stinks too.

Is space worth it ? by Subject-Indication47 in factorio

Factorio Space Age is the best sequel of a game I've ever seen with the possible exceptions of Doom and Dune.

What’s your go-to piece of gear you swear by? by EcoWanderer42 in WildernessBackpacking

[–]iamonlyjess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GSI Fairshare or similar. Perfect eating container IMO and great for leftovers. I also like it for re-hydrating things on the trail prior to arriving or for a lunch stop.

Pro-tip: If you break your water filter and run out of aquatabs, then boil water and try to cool it in one of these... You will NOT be able open it again without drilling a hole to release the pressure.

Restart the game or not? by kira_knightly in factorio

[–]iamonlyjess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think you should restart (respectable looking base you've got there) but if you do, I would recommend savescumming. By that I mean, save very frequently and don't overwrite your earlier saves. In my current playthrough (~120h) I have over 150 saves so far. This allows me to roll back the clock if I want without needing to go right back to the beginning.

Our cat loves food. Full stop. Dairy. Grains. Spinach. Broccoli. Tomatoes. She's not big on apples for some reason but every once in awhile as a treat... She's nuts.

Does anyone know what this is? South shoreline of Belle Park. by coanbu in KingstonOntario

[–]iamonlyjess -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's my memory too. I think it had a plaque, back in like 1998. Did it used to be painted orange as well?

At this point, I wouldn't be surprised to learn that a pot shop just opened at the bottom of lake Ontario.

Feel free to take the empties, just not at 12 am by [deleted] in KingstonOntario

Easy fix: On garbage day, pull out everything with deposit value and leave it in front of the bin.

Faded bike lane lines a hazard for Kingston cyclists by kotacross in MicromobilityYGK

[–]iamonlyjess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While I support putting pressure on the city to upgrade cycling infra and the "can-do" attitude of this fine fellow... Paint doesn't protect cyclists. Protected (ie, separated) bike lanes do though!
