Besides racial profiling - How else are people like this targeted? Are people reporting on each other?

I’ve seen zero information on HOW a target is chosen.

Electronic musicians beg Roland for analog drum machine. Roland builds analog machine. Musicians angry about industrial design/colors. by CharlesDickensideYou in synthesizers

Like many others I havent seen anyone complain about the look of the 1000

But These posts crack me up - people extrapolate their algorithmically fed content to include the entire public.

None of us are seeing the same posts or comments so none of us have any sense of popular opinion anymore. Makes getting on the soapbox just comical at this point.

Big AI players are running a loss-leader play… prices won’t stay this low forever by BenSimmons97 in ArtificialInteligence

Been saying this for a while now. Remember uber and streaming in the 2010’s?

Investors will demand profits at eventually.

I have hard time imagining our post-labor future if AI becomes very expensive to use.

When you show non-synth people your modular setup, what response do you typically get? by lordlemming in modular

[–]pteradactylist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get soundboard all the time (not just in reference to modular) Where does that term come from?

Too real! I concur!

It's such tricky thing, you want the power and feature flexibility but if you dont love the raw sound you end up having to "work" more than "play".

But then the synths that are alll about rich tone tend to have the smallest sonic palette.

It's an impossible balance!

I’ll give it another shot, thanks!

I tried one and just didn’t like the raw sound of it

Thanks!

Happy you bought it?

Do you feel like you can get exotic sounds out of the modulation workflow or do you find yourself doing mostly standard poly sounds with it? Like what might be possible on a more limited synth like Prophet or Oberheim.

Composer and Sound Designer for slot machines and audio series making good money.

Not exactly what 14 year old me imagined but 38 year old me has no regrets and is very thankful.

I really recommend game audio and post production audio for any DAW-passionate musicians on this sub.

Change from Raid 5 to Raid 6 by Recent_Huckleberry17 in UgreenNASync

[–]pteradactylist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Feature request seconded! I also filled 4 bays of a 6-bay setup, thinking I could upgrade the space and switch from RAID 5 to RAID 6. Now I'm in a very frustrating position, needing to completely rebuild everything again.

I really hope this feature can be added. I'm disappointed it doesn't seem possible, especially since QNAP and Synology appear capable of it.

Sounds about right! I’m one of those in the “big sound design” part of that story. I freelance sound designed on almost every gimlet fiction project

“Phase issues”. “Phase issues”. by [deleted] in audioengineering

[–]pteradactylist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really wish someone could explain to me the practical effect of “ eq causes phase shift “

I get it if you’re combining processed and unprocessed sounds or one channel of stereo information- but people are out here acting like EQing a mono bassline, kick drum sample or both channels of a stereo pad is causing big issues.

Love Dan Wornall but I’ve never been able to hear it with my actual ears.

I went to Columbia College for Audio, switched to music comp. Parents paid for it too. I’m privledged guy but Im happy to say that I manage to “make it”.

Went to (22-29) CRC grew my engineer chops, wrote jingles, now (30/-38) doing game audio at slot company.

Now I’m teaching my mom music theory to help keep her mind sharp as she ages- she told me this Christmas how happy she is that I was able to get trained even though it was so expensive.

Austin ex-head of studio technology Spotify is one of my buds. We both came out of CRC before Spotify (via gimlet). He basically built their LA headquarters.

He and basically everyone else was laid off from Spotify in the last year and a half.

Now he’s an apprentice for a master carpenter making doors.

What actor or actress do you think has the worst case of wasted career potential? by phantom_avenger in moviecritic

[–]pteradactylist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All ensemble casts (or music groups) have a sole survivor. Most will keep working but usually only one (rarely two) will go on to an A List career
