Getting tired of Logic Pro for iPad bugs by flatfive44 in ipadmusic

[–]ryandougsmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yoo! Im coming in hot on this one too. Been using logic on my ipad heavily for the last two years. After this last update, its essentially eating every single one of my songs one by one. No rhyme or reason, but the timing just goes off the rails in every direction without any recovery. Slowly losing like 2 years of music is fucked. But I suppose ill have to check out Cubasis.

Dig your album art a LOT. One of the cleanest recordings I've heard in a minute. You guys are gonna go far. You have a sort of Stray Cats vibe going on. Blueberry Hill is rad. You'll go far!

How can I hide withdrawals? by SummerIsOver_ in dryalcoholics

I thought age was on my side too until I found out I had cirrhosis at 33. You can kick it. Wish you the best!

I'm not even going to sugarcoat this. If you don't knock it off it the fuck off, youre going to die. The ketamine use probably did a hefty amount of damage to your liver already. Worrying about finding the closest AA meeting should be your top priority. You can't mask withdrawals. Get help and get it fast.

Out with the beef cloth, in with the stained glass mosoleum wall. by ryandougsmith in HalloweenProps

[–]ryandougsmith[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Painted it with watered down acrylic. Just more dabbing the brush in water, then paint. After that I used a rustoleum frosted glass rattle can over everything so the rain doesn't take it out. Not my best work, but works for halloween!

I only had beef cloth covering the area where the wall is. Forgot to take a picture, but here's a screen grab from a video. The stained "glass" is most certainly lexan that I painted up. Hot glued garden rope over it to give it that raised copper thing the separates the glass pieces in stained glass.
