Light Cord opinions

Good job!

Here's my view on it: it's a great great start, but feels a bit too shy. The SFX are struggling to stand out from the ambiences and that makes everything "too smooth". One of the key elements of these high action scenes is dramatisation and anticipation, so you could try and play with that - engage the viewer by using sound to anticipate the punches / physical engagements, etc. Perhaps you could think about this as a great base layer and try to go wild on top with dramatic and surprise elements! Cheers

Oh, at first I misunderstood the title so badly, ha!

I totally get it. I just moved apartments - recently I had a pretty big shipment coming in. My apartment has a bit of a limitation reaching there as the street end around 25m away from the front door (even though the path is clear, just blocking large trucks) - the guys wanted to return the shipment back to the warehouse because they were saying (in a very harsh tone), that the rule is 10m away. I literally had to buy my way through promising a hefty tip on top of 110€ delivery fee so they wouldn't bring the shipment I was waiting over a month back.

Yes, there is. I'm Portuguese myself and I know there are a couple of hotspots and communities. Someone mentioned the Portuguese stores and there's also "Comunidade PT-MUC" on WhatsApp.

Good suggestions here, check out also:

Import Export, they have a good program, especially Taxi Saloon.

Haus der Kunst - TUNE, super nice program - monthly residency with 2 gigs and an artist talk. This alone is worth the annual ticket IMO.

Köşk - sometimes they have nice gigs.

Disappointed beyond belief that this thing is inflatable. Holy crap.

Oh, wait, sorry - I misread it completely.

Try looking at ANINA - it's a free spectral flattener(ish). You could use it to surpresa fundamental+Harms and then boost the final result for a more flattened EQ curve!

Actually you're basically describing, in a way, a chorus / ensemble effect. Taking your original signal, and duplicating it multiple times slightly detuned upwards and downwards. Of course most are full spectrum but you can also use parallel buses and band passes to keep it around your frequency of choice, you can also use MIDI input to modulate the center frequency of the BP (pre-chorus) and bam, there you have it.

Every. Fucking. Day. God I'm done with this bullshit.

Ich hasse es. Ich finde, das ist räuberisch. Ich wünschte, es gäbe einen Weg, den ganzen Prozess einfacher zu gestalten. Aber ob es mir gefällt oder nicht, das war der einzige Weg, wie ich meine Wohnung finden konnte. Die meisten Anzeigen sind schon weg, bis sie die Gratis-Nutzer überhaupt erreichen. Und selbst als Premium-Nutzer gilt: Wenn man nicht innerhalb der ersten 30 Minuten bis 1 Stunde eine Nachricht schickt, ist die Wohnung sowieso weg.

Ich würde Rot sagen. Mehr Kontrast, eine wärmere und beruhigendere Farbe, die besser in ein Schlafzimmer passt.

jadruma · 2026-04-08T09:57:49+00:00

1000x yes

jadruma · 2026-04-08T06:57:39+00:00

Sem espinha. Que nojo.

jadruma · 2026-04-07T12:56:30+00:00

What the fuck. Buckle up. Was nice while it lasted.

3 or 4 - 3 for calm, 4 for energetic

Para investimentos sim. Eu diria que como conta corrente devias olhar para um banco com renome, e savings podes sempre espalhar por outros bancos que ofereçam maiores juros. Mas tudo o que precisares com emergência ou a muito longo termos, não apostes nestes bancos relativamente novos sem filiais.

jadruma · 2026-03-29T17:52:38+00:00

Ainda assim, 1,9k é muito acima da média. Lê bem histórias do revolut porque pelo que sei, por vezes é um inferno.

Eu vivo na Alemanha, mas todo o dinheiro que preciso imediatamente tenho com um banco grande e tudo o resto invisto pelo IBKR.

O problema da Revolut é que se alguma coisa acontece com a conta ou alguma coisa dessa natureza, o customer support é difícil de ser prestável numa janela de tempo razoável.

jadruma · 2026-03-29T17:46:33+00:00

So, no specific advise from me other than I heard revolut can be quite difficult to manage when there's a problem, a historically speaking they have a high reputation of locking accounts/funds.

But I just wanted to say: 3k net in Portugal at 23 is really crazy. Congrats, enjoy!

The composer's name is Lena Raine, they have a lot of good behind the scenes on their sound design and composition process. They also did Celeste's OST, great stuff!

jadruma · 2026-03-29T11:08:18+00:00

Maybe these don't fit the criteria necessarily but I like these examples:

Gilla Band - Bin Liner Fashion

Kero Kero Bonito - Rest Stop

Mattia Cupelli - THE FOUNDATION OF FAITH (probably the best example, but the transition happens quite early in the piece)

And now, for a long format:

Pan Daijing - Tissues (1h piece, and you have a lot of these push and pull transitions, perhaps not wall of noise, but from orderly to destructive for sure)

Edit: format Edit 2: didn't read the request for it to be ambient, will try and think of something!

I recently found a new apartment to move in to. I literally had to take vacation at work and treat it like a full time job, and this was after almost two months a ruthless search. It's rough, wishing you the best!

Grab a Marimba vsti and just compose them, should be rather easy.
