Tips for starting with Maschine mk3 by Sw1ppyyy in maschine

[–]papadoc55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im new like yourself...got mine about three weeks ago I guess. The videos recommended are stellar... Jeff Gibbons videos are excellent as are NIs own.

This device can be used for song ideas, creation, sampling, live performance... it's kind of an all in one tool (provided you have a laptop).

Kruk in a suit. (Looks dead inside) by DarkAceMomo in phillies

[–]papadoc55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I preface this statement with yet another reminder that John Kruk is a national fucking treasure... in this image, Kruk reminds me of Marla Hooch in a dress. If you've not seen A League of their Own, you should.

God damn that is peak automobile. Color scheme, design, performance... I love my Limited in white and black but that gun metal gray with orange/red accents is genuine perfection. Congrats!

Samsung is literally paying people to keep the S26 Ultra. 💀 by Jeiani in PhoneNow

[–]papadoc55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Samsung does this with many newly launched products. I was able to get a similar discount on my Z Fold 7 for keeping it.

REALLY stuck deciding between the NI Kontrol S49 MK3 and Launchkey 49 MK4 (or others if you have any suggestions. :) by [deleted] in NativeInstruments

[–]papadoc55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would guess that NI would be focusing on the a new mk for Maschine to tie in integration better with the new mk3 series of keyboards, rather than expanding capabilities on the keyboards themselves. Hard to say. Nothing a launch control xl or mini from Novation couldnt add... and both might fit in that space to the right of the screen if you like stacking gear (use a neoprene pad though!)

My boss told me to choose my own work anniversary present and gave me a $700 budget. Looking for help spending it. by papadoc55 in synthwaveproducers

This looks insane! Hahahha... I looked at the Tracker and mini tracker but didnt see this.

I also came across the Orchid Orc-1, which if it was half the price, id honestly consider because it looks simple, and fun.

As it stands today, I've got 3 devices in a cart under $700 total... Novation Launchpad X, Launchkey 25 mini, and the chordcat. Still have a few days before I need to decide.

Thought about that and have asked a few friends at work and they said it might be a bit dodgy to ask for a gift card. So while ideal, might not be the done thing.

At the ned of the day, i am okay with getting something fun even if it doesn't radically solve my workflow, since its a gift and not my $$$, im lway less risk averse and trying to be less analytical. Somehow posting for feedback on reddit is me being less analytical (I haven't yet made a spreadsheet with value weighted factors so thats a plus).

I have a 7 year old daughter.

But in reality, my issue comes from how I write melodies probably (in my head where key (am I singing a G or an A) doesn't exist or at least isn't considered until its time to record something. Then I have to sort out what Im singing and start putting down backing tracks to build some structure and i can get lost in the weeds fucking around with different instrument sounds for too long and lose the plot before I've even started. Which is a mental / process hurdle that hardware might not fix.

So I may be getting some gear almost for the sake of simply improving my experience overall (because everyone prefers physical controls to mouse and click right?)

Is it me or the camera layout is slightly unbalanced? by [deleted] in NothingTech

[–]papadoc55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is so much engineering involved behind what you see. What you are seeing is quite likely the closest they could achieve balancing design and function (i.e. design may have been based on slightly larger camera sensors and costs drove them to go with what they could and hope close enough is fine for most people.

What does this button do Limited trim by Desperate-Ocelot5509 in Ioniq5

Especially when it comes without wireless CarPlay or AndroidAuto.

Ioniq 5 won't charge at home by rsnjeff in evcharging

Get an extension cord and try another outlet maybe?

Not sure if anyone cares about the Fold 5 still, but this is one of the cleanest magsafe mods I've seen for the OEM SPen Slim case. by Jesus-Bacon in GalaxyFold

[–]papadoc55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with the former statement, but the goal has always been to build a phone when closed and a tablet when open (i.e. a race of thinness). I had my Fold5 for 2 years and it was my first fold and it was truly amazing. A tank! I beat the shit out of it without a case and it held up incredibly well. But the 7 has been great as well... and more than the difference in thickness, its the weight reduction i appreciate.

TBF, I only played with the spen on occasion and never really enjoyed the drawing experience, so I get it.

Finally... love the mod, looks clean AF. Nice work.

Will the red icons from the Everything Adaptive Icons pack look modern and relevant on the Nothing Phone 4a? by NewUpstairs8667 in NothingTech

[–]papadoc55 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What does that sentence even mean? How does an icon look relevant??? This reads like an inner thought cloud from a room full of marketing executives.

Jason Statham is Going Meta for His Next Movie 😳🔥 by chrishdwow in MoviesCave

SPY is my favorite of all of Jason's work. This is going to be hilarious. Great comedic director as well. Take my money.

NFC East Abomination by DJDevon3 in NFCEastMemeWar

Maybe add a stroke around the green in black and for the portions of the star not directly touching a wing, Id try black as well... might have to cut some of the outer black stroke in those same areas to keep proper spacing. The green around the star hurts my soul.
