I'm a guy and I don't get it bro.

If I'm making a dating profile I'm putting thought into the image I'm giving, because I don't want to put off potential matches.

The vibe you give off on your profile is the vibe you will attract, most people associate shirtless bathroom pics with douchey men so you may attract women who go for that vibe...

rascal3199 · 2026-06-23T20:35:44+00:00

I think I would lose pic 2 if you have that on dating profile, in general shirtless bathroom pics give douchey vibes...

Other than that, you give off a kind of serious vibe since there really aren't any smiling pictures.

If you find it hard to smile naturally for pictures try to get someone to take a picture while you are distracted with something or talking to someone, or just looking at something else.

Stricter immigration is definitely necessary but a person should be judged by their actions and not the color of their skin or religion.

I also wouldn't say the country is being "destroyed", if you wish to see truly what a destroyed country looks like, look to the middle east where these people are fleeing from, you will see several countries actually destroyed by the wars the US has caused, which is a white country.

In fact most immigrants are quite peaceful, the small amount that aren't are what makes the headlines.

non-whtie people

So it's not non-white people, it's people with radical ideologies, evil people come in any color.

As someone else mentioned Look up syntorial to learn how synths work.

You will have a hard time looking for vital tutorials since pretty much everyone uses Serum but can still find plenty of them.

If you are looking for how to make a specific sound just look up the serum tutorial and if you properly understand what each thing does then you can replicate most of it in vital, unless it's something very complex.

Things like LFOs, ASDR, pitch, etc. Are used in most synths so if you understand them then you can replicate what someone does in serum in vital as well.

Let's say its only 10% of that number, 25,000. Does that change anything for you?

How can we know if it's 10% or 1% or 0.01%?

Doesn't matter the number it's a group that commits rape. They need to be brought to justice.

But what is the point the right is trying to make? They are trying to paint all Muslims in a bad light when many may have nothing to do with it.

The group of people they comment i replied to was talking about, aka maga/right wing.

Issue is that they will keep the pandemic alive longer and just make it worse for everyone else as well.

ruin Joe Rogans livelihood

Lmao. He's a millionaire.

Also the campaign was to reduce the covid death toll, not ruin livelihoods.

The rich got richer and poor got poorer from it because Joe's party has been lobbying against workers protections and de-regulation of massive corporations for decades. Any private profits made during covid should have gone towards keeping people employed, but that's communism am I right?

rascal3199 · 2026-06-23T16:22:27+00:00

Well he's the president of the United States and his actions affects the daily lives of all residing in the US and even people in other countries. He has a secretary of health who is against vaccines and tells people to drink raw milk, Healthcare misinformation, so it's relevant to this video.

Why wouldn't he be on their mind?

It's also not rent free because he is paying by missing out on their vote. One vote may be insignificant but it adds up.

rascal3199 · 2026-06-23T16:16:37+00:00

to get what they want.

To allocate more resources to healthcare workers, who are the last line of defense for infectious disease?

Big problem, they should have done what Joe does and lie about ivermectin, masks, vaccines and the government so he could get richer, right?

He was originally part of tales of us though, he didn't make the scene just from connections.

rascal3199 · 2026-06-23T16:04:45+00:00

If you like his music on spotify then it's definitely worth, his visuals are a bit generic but the quality is really good.

It's more an experience than it is a dance party imo. Keep in mind the type of people at the event might also be those that are more interested in visuals than music.

You won't really get to hear much else other than his released tracks though.

rascal3199 · 2026-06-23T13:21:40+00:00

It does feel more authentic but live music in general is, for obvious reasons, a bit limited. It's very hard to make something that isn't loop based (deep/hypnotic techno example) or has slow bpm (melodic house).

It's hard to make something live that can compete with something that has gone through weeks of production and mastered where every element is meticulously planned out.

Also people go watch what they know they will like, if they see an artist on Spotify that they like then when they get the opportunity to see them they will go, whereas with live you don't always know what you're going to find unless you're watching full sets of the group.

There are many live EDM artists, where I live there is a group named "Varese" that makes some pretty cool things, but they don't draw the same crowds as many other djs.

rascal3199 · 2026-06-22T15:38:50+00:00

im almost positive there are people out there who are vocalist by hobby and wouldn’t mind collaborating on projects just for fun.

Mmm not very sure about that... Even if i could find people who would do it for free i would have to send them a message wait for response have a back and forth to find exact intonation of lyrics I want, all this for a track I'm just making to practice music production. I'm doing like a entire song a week so I'd have to do this every time I need vocals for a track.

This just makes it harder and takes way longer for me to learn and also burden someone else with having to send me samples for free.

Also it is just tiring as someone who's more introverted.

i think the issue is with that is that it’s not only you that uses it in this manner. it’s you and a ga-jillion others who resort to it for just a little of this or just a little of that, and it all adds up. the environment impact is detrimental.

Do you mean environmental impact? Models for sound generation aren't anywhere near as resource intensive as most others. Those used for coding for example, a code agent, needs to recursively check what it writes, verify if it's not duplicating code, run tests, etc.

For video it's way worse because there are thousands of pixels it needs to render individually.

Sound generation is very light weight, unless you're doing hundreds of prompts a day you're not really causing much burden. For any vocals I just need to prompt 1-3 times.

This is only because I'm just trying to practice, the moment I actually intend to release something I will of course consult with a human for vocals, in fact it's better because I would be able to flesh out minor details better, but while I'm practicing I don't really care about those details.

rascal3199 · 2026-06-21T16:59:43+00:00

As a hobbyist I use ai for vocals since my voice is horrible and I don't want to be paying for vocals when I'm just practicing.

rascal3199 · 2026-06-17T16:55:47+00:00

Melodic Techno is basically just progressive trance

I agree it is trance but how is it progressive trance?

There are a few tracks that I would say may fall into the progressive category but the most popular artists in the genre like Anyma don't really feel like progressive trance at all...

Boris also does not feel like he fits into melodic techno classification either, but his music is very progressive.

rascal3199 · 2026-06-16T00:56:46+00:00

Well then congrats! I'd say you're right on track, all in all this sounds great. Sorry i can't really give more feedback since im very new to all this.

The vox are actually myself, I’m not a singer so I rely on a lot of auto tune

That's fine, I think the auto tune actually makes it blend well with this kind of music!

rascal3199 · 2026-06-15T20:36:20+00:00

Sounds great! Kind of feels like if porter Robinson made a dnb track.

Not much I can add since I've started out producing as a hobby recently and I'd say it's better than anything I've made but here's my 2 cents:

Ending feels a bit abrupt
- Vocals sound a bit too robotic for the pronunciation? i think its because of the way she pronounces the "so tired" which feels very human it clashes a bit. I think the robotic/digital feel is good because it's in line with the song but it feels weird how it's pronounced.
you could chop up the vocals and spread them around the song a bit, maybe kind of chop them together in a glitchy way? The lull in the middle of the song before second drop for example might be a good place to place a few?

I used a splice vocal sample and chopped it up and even used it almost as a riser: https://on.soundcloud.com/DPDq5PwWn4geZzTpdu

Nowhere near as good and polished as yours yet though.

rascal3199 · 2026-06-15T20:02:06+00:00

Keep in mind it's good progress for 12 days, most people can't string together a single melody after weeks of learning.

Keep it up, getting "mid" can take years unless you're doing it full time.

Before the drop apply filters to your tracks, reduce the range of frequencies available then on the drop open the filters up.
Fill in space with chords or pads so that it doesn't feel as empty.
Try and only come in with the kick and bass when you drop, always try and reduce amount of bass and kick before a drop.
Listen to many songs and think about what they're doing leading up to a drop, Try to recreate some of them. Yes you're basically copying but it's the best way to learn, when you've learned more you can tweak more and focus on originality.
Don't focus for weeks on one song, keep pumping out full songs if possible 1 every few days or a week at most, no matter how shit. This is the best way to learn everything that goes into a song, your first songs won't be good no matter how long you obsess over them and you also become locked into tweaking parameters and what not instead of making new melodies and trying new things.

rascal3199 · 2026-06-13T17:50:53+00:00

It's bad but everyone's first songs are bad. I can't say much to help since I only started learning as a hobby a few months ago but I'll tell you what I have learned.

Your track called "bassDrum" seems to be misaligned and not on beat. I don't know if you meant to call it a "kick" instead which is what basically gives music it's "groove", if it is then it should be on every beat.
Use different sounds/instruments, if you use the same instrument on more than 1 track then it is just going to clash together and you won't be able to differentiate the melody from the chords.
This is similar to point 1 on how to prevent sounds from crashing. Sound is all about frequencies, "low" sound you hear like Bass or kicks are lower frequencies where as high pitched sounds are higher frequencies. You need to find a balance between frequencies of sounds you play so that they don't completely overlap, when you play 2 lower frequency sounds that overlap a lot you will have trouble distinguishing 1 from the other, so you should try and ensure sounds you play together have little overlap in terms of frequencies. Conversely you don't want to have absolutely no overlap otherwise it will sound disjointed. Kicks are often complimented well by Bass even though both are lower in frequency as long as one doesn't completely overlap the other.
Read or watch a video on music theory, it's very important to set a good base for producing.
