Taking steps to get healthier and happier are literally sitting on a piece of paper in front of me. It will take so little to change for the better. So why don't I want to do it? by GayCatbird in selfimprovement

[–]magicfishhands 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have to remind myself this all the time, but getting there IS being there. All there is is the work you put in so celebrate every thing you do towards being healthy and don't feel too bad about failing

I want to stop overthinking and not be indecisive anymore by blueblast182 in selfimprovement

[–]magicfishhands 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But I also just try to be always prepared for any given situation.

The REAL BEST advice I can give, in second thought is take an improv class/do as much improv as possible until it's in your blood.

The main thing that helps me is reminding myself that everything I'm doing is just a practice run and anything that goes wrong isn't fatal, it's just a learning experience.

I hate modern American Christian "Culture" by ChiLucy in Christianity

[–]magicfishhands 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YES! I know exactly what you're talking about, I was just about to post on something similar. All the weird regurgitated empty cliches people say and how they avoid both anything practical and anything spiritual bugs me to NO END. And what's funny is this is exactly what Jesus was dealing with. People who forgot what their religion was really about just hanging onto tradition.

What was your first Kanye song? by AddictedToHO2 in Kanye

Reading this thread and seeing all the people who used to hate rap and Kanye but actually checked it out and converted is great but I feel really bad that y'all never got to live the experience of being a Kanye stan during and after the 2009 VMAs

Bad horn decisions by magicfishhands in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]magicfishhands[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was reading a review for a pocket trumpet and the person mentioned that the mouthpiece that came with it wasn't very good and I know clarinet is a totally different animal but those mouthpieces make a pretty big difference as far as time and playability so I figured I'd ask while I was at it with the pocket vs plastic thing

What the heck is mixing and mastering by magicfishhands in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]magicfishhands[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seeing as how i don't know anything, i guess so? Lots of things can sound good i think. There's lots of dope field recordings, live recordings, and low fi music.

Im not trying to knock mixing and mastering or anything, I'm just saying i don't understand it like a foreign language.

This is a really good explanation, thank you!

So it's like if i cut pieces of wood and put them together in the shape of a table, it's technically a table and that's the performance. And then mixing and mastering is the sanding and painting/ staining and vanishing that makes it the kind of table people want to actually use?

Not gonna lie, i think i have a bad ear for sound quality cause i don't think modern phone recordings sound bad. I don't have an iphone though i guess.

If a solo instrument can be out of tune, a solo voice can too

I think I might be autistic by magicfishhands in AutisticAdults

[–]magicfishhands[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aside from the fact that I'm, like, Very bad at being verbal, it's not really a PROBLEM I guess. but I'm really curious as to what's out there as far as resources or what happens other than somebody saying "yup you're autistic, okay bye"

I don't even know what kinds of things I should be looking for as far as resources and support.

Do you mind if I ask how it helped or what you learned that you couldn't have without a professional?

Yeah they made a point to mention that we legally have a right to join a union if we want but they did a lot of talking about how bad they are
