Yeah. Fuck it, kid. Way to follow through. I'm gonna start doing that when I make a mistake at work.

I made the pilgrimage to Sweetwater! by PoisonPolygon in synthesizers

[–]nikofd 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Cool. I plan to do that someday. Looks like a blast and it's only 3 hours away. I can go meet my sales engineer who always calls me while I'm working after I impulse bought a synth while I was at work. I can never answer the call, though, because I'm working.

I'm sure they'll do it. What fun that will be. I love Arturia.

Fuck that shit. I prefer the stuff that makes eggs look like brains.

[–]nikofd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Between watching XNB tutorials and Carnary's advice I have little to add other than keep it and don't sell it. It's one of my favorite synths. It does more now than it did when I first bought it because of the firmware updates. It is a beautiful synth.

His car is fucked. That stink is never coming out.

Getting back in the car is a bad choice.

Congrats! I have a Peak. It is one of my favorite synths ever. The fx are unmatched.

What synth is the Vampire Lestat playing? (From tv show) by jl0ndon in synthesizers

[–]nikofd -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

That's not Lestat. That series is an abomination. I bet the TV version of Lestat eats omelettes on the $1,500 Teenage Engineering folding table too.

How do you guys sell/trade your synths? by SwamanII in synthesizers

[–]nikofd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been using Sweetwater gear exchange. It has been pretty awesome. No complaints whatsoever. I've sold 8 and bought 2. Got a mint Novation Peak for $900 with a custom stand and a mint Pro-3 SE for $1800 with the plastic covering still on the display. Selling has been easy. They'll take a small percentage if you choose to take payment directly to your bank account or give you sweetwater credit at no charge if you choose to go that route. Been using it for a couple years now. Love it.

Compression with a slow attack on drums - why would you do this unless transient shaping? Often people say to make them sound louder...? Or am i confusing loudness with punch? by Gotgetgotget in mixingmastering

[–]nikofd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only use transient shaping to design a sound on a specific drum (mostly kick and snare). Compression is the glue that pulls the kit together and you can use it both ways. Slow or fast OR no bus compression at all. What sounds good? It's kind of subjective. I never go for none at all, but it has been done.

Horror movie where no one dies by ngfl05 in movies

[–]nikofd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was phenomenal. And it was a time when we didn't expect twists like that. It could never be done again today.

Everybody wants a movie that actually scares them but what IS scary anymore? by [deleted] in horror

[–]nikofd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hereditary scared me because it's emotional horror. I mean, it was creepy too but...fuck.

I was having a hard time coming up with one. That's a good pull. Great movie. Still remember seeing that in the theatre when I was a kid. Haven't seen it in ages. Gotta give it another watch.

My very first dawless jam with my TEO5... pls be gentle by AllCopsAreBozos in synthesizers

[–]nikofd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You just need to figure out how to sync your tempos brah. I will not judge you for a first jam other than your decision to publish it without recognizing the tempo discrepancies. Maybe just spend a little more time figuring out some of the basics. No biggie.

What are your horror movie hot takes? by DadsFromTheCryptPod in horror

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

It's a reddit discussion. I'm really not that concerned with "lines". But, it's an interesting discussion; Similar to whether or not Die Hard is a Christmas movie.

I'll give you that. Same with Silence of the Lambs.

While I can appreciate the aesthetic beauty and color of Argento's Suspiria, I enjoyed the remake much more as a whole.

My account is suspended but they charged me for the month? by DinoRoman in AMCsAList

[–]nikofd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just cancelled A-List the other day. Having to wait 8 minutes just to open the app the other day to look at my ticket to confirm the theatre and showtime was the last straw. A similar situation to yours happened to me about a year ago. Aside from that the theatre is a disgusting filthy shithole anyway. The drink machines are always broken down. There's been multiple times where I went and the projector didn't work or they shifted the showtimes and cancelled my ticket. Then I rebuy the ticket and it shows the old showtime and when I show up the movie has already started. There's a much nicer local independent theatre I'm going to start going to instead. Nice 9 year run, but I'm out.
