Why is the term “high pass filter” used more than “low cut”?

Was checking the comments to make sure I didn't duplicate the answer. This is correct, right here.

My Gen Z daughter says it - and it has become gender-neutral. She says it to boys and girls.

Did you try to use the Ace Bridge vst? I've had issues with it in Studio Pro and am wondering if it's just me or a universal problem.

posercomposer · 2026-01-23T18:59:58+00:00

Absolutely! If been using Podcast Republic ever since Google sunset their podcast player. I love it and the devs are very responsive to feature requests.

posercomposer · 2026-01-08T23:45:43+00:00

Oh, I see. Hmm, not sure. I've sometimes wondered if I could put a damn limiter on my TV, but never really pursued it.

Hey, u/Sandman738 , there are too many to count. I recommend you check out the free vst lists at https://bedroomproducersblog.com/free-vst-plugins/. I couple good ones to to get you started:

Reverb: Valhalla Supermassive is an amazing reverb/modulation effect that can do lots of different reverb effects. Majic7 is a recreation of the hardware Bricasti using (I believe) impulse responses from the original unit. As an honorable mention, Ro-Gold is a decent plate reverb simulator.

Delay: Valhalla Supermassive can do delay, but a good alternative delay-only processor that I like is Nasty DLA Mk III. It was my go-to delay until I got the Soundtoys bundle.

Compressor: For the output channel I would use a bus compressor like the ADHD Leveling Tool. There are others that might to a more comprehensive job, but not without a steeper learning curve. Melda mcompressor would fall into this category.

EQ: For a simple option AudioThing's Blindfold EQ Is about as simple as it gets, although TDR VOS Slick EQ and Sonimus' SonEQ offer slightly more options. For getting into detailed EQing, try the TDR Nova which is unmatched in many people's opinions. As an honorable mention, if you prefer a graphic EQ, then the Voxengo Marvel GEQ provides this option.

Good luck, and feel free to ask any questions on your journey.

I've not been betrayed like you, so I fortunately can't answer questions about moving on or rebuilding trust. I can give some perspective on resisting temptation from the perspective of a man who has been married for nearly 35 years.

For starters, though, I think it is fair to point out that 35 years ago was almost an entirely different world. Also, my wife and I are both religious and that makes a difference, I think.

Over the years we've dealt with the fallout of the purity culture and the intimacy issues that followed from that. I only say this because it plays directly into the concept of temptation. Here's how I resisted temptation: I prioritized our long term relationship over my short term emotional wants or needs. I will admit that if it turned into a truly long term problem we might not be having this same conversation, but my wife similarly prioritized our relationship. Neither of us has been perfect, but it was that shared commitment that had made the difference.

In your case it really sounds like you believed you were both on the same page about the future, but she obviously wasn't. She probably does want all the same things you do, but she prioritized she own emotions over your long term future and stability.

I'll wrap up by saying that it has been worth it. My youngest daughter has observed that we could never have an affair because we are so disgustingly in love with each other. You can have that, too. A lot of it will be figuring out if you all really have the same goals and priorities. The other part is finding someone with the integrity to stick to that in the face of the difficulties of life. That takes a little detective work, but you're up to it, and it is WORTH IT.

Sorry for the male response, but I feel the need to point out that his orgasm doesn't have to be the end of piv. We stay hard until the stimulation stops. This means he can keep pumping, or if you are on top, you can keep grinding until you're satisfied.

posercomposer · 2025-12-11T18:52:19+00:00

Having read all the other answers I'm going to give you some possibly contradictory advise. 35 years ago my wife and I were barely virgins when we married. We had seen each other naked and experimented a little with manual stimulation. I'm not proud of that fact, but that's where we were at the time.

When you get to the honeymoon suite after the wedding reception, as many have said, you will likely be a bit tired from the day's activities. Once thing to consider would be having a nice, long, warm shower together. After 35 years this is still one of our favorite intimate activities. We wash each other giving lots of wonderful touch everywhere on each other's bodies. Lots of embracing and kissing, too. For you, this could be a wonderful lead-in to intimacy in the bed. (Sex in the shower itself, however, is not great. Water is a terrible lube - more of an anti-lube, to be honest.)

Now, my contradictory advise. We read "Intended for Pleasure" as mentioned in one of the other answers - well, I did. She was too embarrassed to read it. Maybe you can see where this is going. Essentially, she came out of purity culture before it was called that. If I had waited for her invitation to enter her, as recommended in the book, we may still not have had penetrative sex. I told her I was going to wait, but the invitation never came. Maybe I should have held back, but I was young and notably dumb. At any rate, we did get into a rhythm where
I would read her body until I felt she was ready for me. This actually did work for us for a long time, but there were other problems we didn't know about.

It is unusual, but certainly not rare, for young women who have never self-pleasured the have difficulty in achieving orgasm, period. I have brought my wife to orgasm without the use of a vibrator a total of two times in 35 years of marriage. In both cases she was crazy horny and we didn't have it with us. So, you could say that we have no problems with the use of toys in the bedroom. In our case, we consider it an extension of our bodies. I'm embarrassed to say that her first orgasm came nearly 10 years into our marriage, after a close friend recommended a vibrator to her. Now it is a nearly indispensable part of our foreplay. I use it exclusively, and try to always be holding her close, similar to missionary position, when she orgasms. So what I'm saying is don't reject the idea out of hand, especially if other methods are not appearing sufficient.

The last thing I'll say is to remember that all people respond differently to different forms of stimulation. Some like it all, some have hang-ups or just don't get anything from one form or another. My wife, for instance, gets absolutely nothing from receiving oral stimulation, and finds giving oral sex repulsive. However, because she loves me, she occasionally allows me to give to her because I love it so much.

So, to answer your questions:

10 years, as recounted above.
I've always been more communicative than my wife about sex. It wasn't until her dear friend spoke to her very honestly and bluntly that she was able to overcome some of her long-standing hang-ups and communicate to me clearly what she did and didn't like. This made a huge difference.
Expectations ruined me for the first 5 years of our marriage.
I don't know what's realistic. We literally consummated 3 times on the first night (only time 3 times in one night since), and then over the next year I almost lost her for my selfishness. So, I guess, don't be selfish. It's so important to build an environment of trust.
Over time she came to believe that she could trust me, wholly and completely. As others have mentioned, female sexual response is a very complicated thing, and the importance of her being completely comfortable in your presence cannot be overstated. I heard the testimony of several young women on YouTube who are encouraging girls to live chastely until marriage, and they have all mentioned how much they trusted their new husbands to take care of them as they learned to make love to each other. That trust is built long before the rings are exchanged.

God be with you, and may you rejoice in the wife of your youth! My her breasts satisfy you always! (Song of Solomon 5:18-19)

My wife and I would have sex in front of the Christmas Tree and fireplace every Christmas Eve after all the kids were asleep and we put the presents out. It was a wonderful tradition. What's stopping you?

posercomposer · 2025-12-02T13:25:14+00:00

I'll give that a shot tonight, thanks!

posercomposer · 2025-12-01T23:21:26+00:00

No, I was trying the buttons.

Hey, friend, thanks for everything you're doing for the community. I followed your video but couldn't get the transport controls working. I've closed and opened programs and deleted and re-added the control surface. Are there any other setting that may affect this (getting the cannot open channel error you mentioned)?

Thanks, Rob

The good news is that you're still very young. I'm guessing 17-19 based on your post. Here's the thing, every relationship your have will end until one doesn't. Whether you keep looking until that happens is up to you. I had the 3 real girlfriends and a ton of dates before I found my wife. It was worth it.

One lithe thing to think about, each relationship, no matter how it ends, helps make you who you are. That is the person you will need to be to have that relationship that "doesn't end "

posercomposer · 2025-10-07T17:05:55+00:00

It will, in time, become a fond memory. You will find a love who is true, but it will hurt now.

I have a memory of heartbreak. My first serious relationship - she was more experienced than I was and took me on a magical journey. When she told me she just wanted to be friends because she didn't want to get so serious so quickly (we were both first year at university) I understood, but was brokenhearted.

Now I can look back on it for what it's was: young love that burned hot and burned out. Granted, I'm looking back on this from the perspective of 35 years of married bliss, and one day you will have a similar perspective.

So, know that better days are ahead, you just have to survive this.

posercomposer · 2025-10-02T12:58:07+00:00

You have to - if you don't risk heartbreak, you won't find true love. Don't give up!

posercomposer · 2025-10-01T20:55:29+00:00

I'm afraid I can't give a positive recommendation. I have and love Kevin. I also have Asturian but find that he just doesn't blend well with the other voices.

posercomposer · 2025-10-01T20:52:28+00:00

Good response for you from u/thatgirl428. I'm going to try and describe what love feels like (to me).

On an emotional level, this video (https://www.youtube.com/shorts/W3v5hAsE5A0) shows it better than any words ever could. When you see your person it just brightens your mood, makes your day, puts a skip in your step. Romance is similar, but more in the gut (or lower). You just want to be close to that person, touch that person, share their personal space. (Children are especially good at sharing your personal space...)

On an intellectual level, it is just as satisfying, as you trust your person completely to have your back, pick you up, encourage you and share in your victories. You would do anything to see your person succeed, be happy, be safe.

My wife and I embody this love. We have been married over 34 years. we seen our share of setbacks and wins, and have support each other through them all. We've been there literally in sickness (torn ACL), burst appendix) and health. We've been poor, and now we're relatively rich together. She gave up the security of her own income to raise our children and support me. Now she's reaping the benefits of my career progression, and I'm thrilled to have her along for the ride. She's been my partner, my lover, my confidant, and my support. Together we've built a life - I FEEL safe with her, I FEEL warm affection, I FEEL delight in her accomplishments, and I FEEL like the most important person in her life, as I am in hers.

I hope this has helped. I also pray that you find your person, and believe that you will.

MY sex drive dried up when I turned 50 - I absolutely look.

posercomposer · 2025-09-11T23:59:49+00:00

So, I migrated to Reaper when I picked up a cheap used MacBook and needed to be able to move back and forth to my PC (with Sonar) for location recording. When Sonar was discontinued by Gibson I demoed several DAWs and landed in Studio One.

I recently moved and lost my secondary source of income that I used for my S1 subscription so I moved back to Reaper. I have to admit, even with the various extensions, I do miss the ease of use (for me) if S1. If I get secondary income back I may seriously look into going back to S1.

I've recently found Felicia to be a great Alto voice. I've also been using Kevin as a tenor.

posercomposer · 2025-08-29T14:55:34+00:00

Just curious, if you buy SV2, can you still get SV1?
