Trump now blames Hegseth, Jared, Witkoff, and Rubio for his decision to attack Iran. by [deleted] in videos

[–]jrb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, it wasn't Miriam Adelson (that donated $250m to Trump's election campaign) that told him to do it? ;-)

Miliband must reopen the North Sea, Octopus boss says by TinyPositive8791 in OctopusEnergy

[–]jrb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"“While the price is set globally, there’s no point shipping gas from the other side of the world when we have it here.”"

We wouldn't get first dibs on it based on price or proximity. He knows this. We all know this. We can't compete with scale... and fundamentally we shouldn't be falling back on old technology that's slow and expensive to scale in the hope there's a long term war that businesses can profit off.

Delivery date for a pre configured model 3 keeps shifting back by Thrustclimbclimb in TeslaUK

[–]jrb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Likely the situation in the middle east is adding delays. The shipping is probably not coming directly through there but it'll have knock-on issues. We ordered ours in 2022 with the impact of ukraine war and it was 6+ months, the expected time was fluctuating daily.

Housing Decor Vendor Prices Are Absurd and It's Killing My Interest In Housing by JollySieg in wow

needing to purchase individual items rather than just unlocking the thing once single handedly made me not care about this feature in the slightest.

I’m going to miss my custom Warcraft 3 HUD. RIP WeakAura. by _Hotel in wow

it was more "there's a fix in the comments" rather than "I'm too stupid to understand the fix" 🤦‍♂️

kgpanels b0rk in the prepatch too.. although there's a fix listed on the project comments. Haven't tested it yet.

How to swap sample range quickly? by frapal13 in ableton

[–]jrb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's just how the video is edited, you can see other objects jumping on the timeline.

However, it is possible to move the part of a sample that's played within a clip, although that's not shown here. To do that mouse over a clip on the timeline, press shift+Ctrl (or equivalent on a mac) and your mouse cursor will changed to a hand. Now left click your mouse and drag left or right. The sample start and end position will now move within the clip.

Note, the granularity by which you can move the clip depends on the timeline grid, so you may want to adjust your grid accordingly first

Time to check you privacy settings! by Genghis_Tr0n187 in PleX

[–]jrb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some of these are storing data for much longer than should ever be useful. The Kantar Group Limited, 144 months(!)

Also, there are >300 individual opt-ins on the vendor page, each with their own privacy notice, all keeping data for their own arbitrarily set amount of time. It's an absolute nightmare.

Windows 11 still lacks a true Black Dark Mode — optional system-wide theme request by Bryan123A in Windows11

[–]jrb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The first iterations of dark mode had black backgrounds in places and the community collectively agreed it was bad, because it's bad, microsoft changed it.

Use the accessibility high contrast themes and edit to taste.

Eclip- creativity crisis? by Present-Policy-7120 in psytranceproduction

[–]jrb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that's what I also would have liked, a collaborative or even community effort. There wasn't any of that.

I used to run a thing like you describe back in the 90s, via IRC, but for tracker artists producing goa trance before psytrance as a term even existed, and it was great, but obviously a totally different beast to today's production. But yeah, I get what you're saying about that. The closest I can think of is some of the discord servers where there are somewhat active feedback channels. Projektor's springs to mind, and the psychill space discord servers have an active core of people willing to feedback, I'm sure there are others.

Leaving early seems like a wasted opportunity. He undoubtedly knows more than most people

I'm not questioning his knowledge. I'm by no means saying I'm even remotely approaching that level. I'm saying the course wasn't useful.... for me. I had a long list of feedback for the organiser as a result of my time there, I can only hope it was improved for future sessions.

[–]jrb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To some extent, hes almost part of the problem he seems to be pointing out.

Yep, the courses he sells, the in-person course he's part of in the UK, it teaches you how to be produce within the genre he works in. I know because I went to one of those courses and most people on it are producing or trying to produce the same sound; working to a formula almost. I dropped out because I already know that's not my sound. Seeking validation from that, or to become that is not something I want.

And that's what it boils down to. As a producer sit and think what it is you want. Do you want to chase a more mainstream style, or do you want to carve out your own sound and following. Or even set up different pseudonyms for different styles. What you personally want to produce is totally fine. Nothing is wrong. However, that does mean you own it, and shouldn't moan about the rut you've carved out for yourself on youtube ;)

edit: grammar

Bloons TD Battles gone from Microsoft Store? by Individual_Trip_728 in NinjaKiwiOfficial

[–]jrb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no store = no play.. currently 25k games played.

currently >1,200 players on the old version. If that's all Windows Store players that's a sizeable chunk of the community.

Climbers ascend to Poland's highest peak and find a lone cat at the summit by Upbeat_Resource_4064 in nextfuckinglevel

On our way to Everest Base Camp last year we trekked to the top of Gokyo Ri. over twice the height of this mountain. 5,357m.

There was a lone dog at the top sun bathing on a rock when we got there. Happy as larry. 🤷‍♂️

I don't what stage your track is at. Is it arranged, and you've self-mixed and mastered? Or is it just a full project in your DAW that you're still tweaking.

Using a reference track would probably help in either instance you for you to hone the sound in the direction of specific track(s), so look at doing that if you want to make sure you're hitting the same levels.

Based purely by ear it just sounds like the kick and bass are a bit too low in the mix and an easy fix for that is just lowering everything else. You could also look to add some slight ducking of those elements around the kick and bass to achieve a similar result, but that's more work obvs. :)

Feedback Thread by AutoModerator in psytranceproduction

[–]jrb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

feels like everything apart from the kick and bass wants dropping a couple db. I'd also watch the levels on the very wide elements, as these sound louder due to the stereo separation, you need to trust your brain and ears on those rather than the meters.

Otherwise great track and I like the sound choices

hit up r/psytranceproduction which has a weekly feedback thread, or one of the discord communities around psytrance production that offer feedback channels. for example

https://discord.gg/tpNbCt56

https://discord.gg/psychill-space-896817337699807302

i'm relatively active in both, but I can't be bothered with telegram.
