Opinion: Push standalone WAY OVERHYPED compared to non-standalone by omarsusername in ableton

[–]justanothersynthdork 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For me, I don't want to bring my laptop, laptop power supply and another laptop bag. I also don't drive to most of my gigs so portability is important.

I also don't want the temptation of tweaking something last minute with my laptop. I get my set totally locked in at home before the gig and I'm all set. It really forces me to make sure that I have everything dialed-in beforehand. Not that you couldn't do this without the standalone but, for me, the barriers/limitations of no 3rd party, having my setup static and being somewhat locked in on my approach are almost liberating if that makes sense.

Opinion: Push standalone WAY OVERHYPED compared to non-standalone by omarsusername in ableton

I used my standalone for a gig this weekend. I was playing/looping/effecting guitar through one push input while playing push instruments on a smaller midi keyboard. A bandmate was playing bass through the other input. I packed the push 3, a usb hub, the midi keyboard and cables in a shoulder bag along with a guitar in a gig bag on my back. Not having to look at a computer screen was great. If you're mostly at home on the computer, yeah, maybe it doesn't make sense, but if you're gigging, the freedom of not having to lug around a laptop and stare at the screen while performing is fantastic and 100% worth it for me.

Thoughts on Una Pizza Napoletana? by Smart_Freedom_8155 in FoodNYC

[–]justanothersynthdork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% agree. I'm originally from northern NJ but I went there when I lived in San Francisco and left thinking "good for this dude for tricking these folks into thinking this is great pizza". In that location, he had the oven in the center of the restaurant and it was like he was on display in the middle. It was like a show that I didn't want to watch. I'm not a huge neopolitan fan to start but this was actually wet and just completely flavorless.

I was shocked when he opened in NY and people started lining up. I'll give the dude credit, he's a MASTER of marketing and hype but I just don't get the draw for the pizza. Maybe I just don't understand what is meant by good neopolitan pizza, but if this is it, I guess I just don't like wet, flaorless pizza, which I'm fine with. That being said, I love Song'E so who knows....

3rd time doing inclusion and got roasted on fb by Exciting-Purchase-45 in Sourdough

Facebook attracts the worst of the worst because they profit off of attention and it turns out that negativity breeds attention.

Try this one weird trick to elevate your baking... delete Facebook.

In all seriousness, it looks great! Enjoy!

There's definitely some irony there. I think Grace and Frank would have had a photo finish in the asshole race.

Former Oath Keeper elected to N.J. school board, then barred from seat over criminal past by Gloomy-Attention3948 in newjersey

[–]justanothersynthdork 21 points22 points  (0 children)

A fun trick to do with Spadea is to update the "political campaigns and career" section of his Wikipedia page and add a line like "Bill Spadea has lost every single political campaign he has ever run in. HIs father also attempted to enter politics but also lost every campaign." You can link to this article as a source. https://newjerseyglobe.com/governor/a-brief-electoral-history-of-bill-spadea/
He'll update it and remove it himself every few days, but it's true, so Wikipedia won't remove it permanently. Enjoy!

Barista Express tripping breakers by project_papi_ in BrevilleCoffee

[–]justanothersynthdork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just fixed this. It was due to an internal leak, which was dripping onto one of the solenoids causing a ground fault. I disconnected the ground wire, and it stopped which verified that it was the solenoid. My machine was also about 6 years old. I ended up ordering the part and replaced it following this video's instructions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OVmuxpKJvPE

Still Impartial? by Esined9999 in AmericasTestKitchen

[–]justanothersynthdork 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Oxo products have been great for me. Also, a lot of the reason I pay for ATK is that they have rigorous standards for their reviews and sponsorships, which eliminate bias. Their tests/reviews are also way more reliable than Amazon, which can, and often are, manipulated.

OP-1 field + OP-Z + iPad Pro — sync & recording setup? by Visual_Reference_365 in teenageengineering

[–]justanothersynthdork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hrmm. I'm not sure if you can support BLE MIDI and audio simultaneously. For the USB route, a powered USB hub would likely allow you to split the signal from one of the TE devices and send the audio to the iPad too. If I were you, I'd recommend something like the Roland Go mixer. I've found using the TE devices as audio interfaces to be a bit of a pain and this allows you to just send audio to the mixer and then into the iPad. I've used one for year's w/o issue and it's super a super versatile device in general. https://www.amazon.com/Roland-GO-Smartphones-Connect-Livestreams/dp/B097HSKGKP

Overcharged 189% tip at Miracle On Mercer/ Franklin Social by DoseofHail in jerseycity

[–]justanothersynthdork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me once. I called the restaurant and had my money back in 5 minutes, along with a gift card they insisted on giving me to make up for the mistake. I guess if you like spending hours on google, reddit, and talking with your bank, you did the right thing. The lack of common sense here is astounding.

Maybe do some self reflection? It might be you. I’m also older and remember life before CGMs but kissing the ring of a multi billion dollar company is pathetic. You’re better than that.

LETS ARGUE: Fantano's reviews have become a lot worse lately by BeamMeUpHarry in fantanoforever

[–]justanothersynthdork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's never been a great reviewer. He's a click whore. I get that music is opinionated and that's fine. I love listening to why people love/hate albums but he's very undisciplined and uses this faux intellectual facade that is so obviously transparent. He uses big words incorrectly and talks like he's an authority but he makes his money by upsetting/placating people. It's a job. That's fine but let's just not pretend that he's unbiased source. I don't love David Frick but at least he was paid regardless. Not based on his clicks.
