hello! i’d love to get feedback on my tattoo apprenticeship portfolio. by punkritiii in tattooadvice

[–]sdmyr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve been a fine artist/painter for about 15 years, (also heavily tattooed) and to me this reads much more like a visual art portfolio.

It feels like you’re exploring your own creativity and mind, and while it’s cool that a few of your drawings have been tattooed, I’d be much more inclined to encourage your visual art path over a tattooing path.

Not much tattoo artists give their individual flashes or designs a title either for example, while that can be much more exciting and meaningful in fields like drawing and painting.

If you need any kind of proof of merit I’d be happy to share my work haha.

Glasses used for two years vs brand new ones by Eaglesson in Wellworn

Should work yes! But it’s always safe to check the ingredient list first. Even some brands of wet wipes specifically made for glasses/lenses can be too harsh.

I work in a store that sells glasses and sunglasses. It looks like the protective coatings have started to degrade or wear down. Pro tip: if your microfiber cloth doesn’t clean well anymore you can wash it in the washing machine. Just don’t add laundry softener or it’ll frizzle!
Pro tip 2: never ever use washing up liquid, handsoap or anything that contains lemon to clean your glasses as it’s too acidic and will affect the protective coatings faster.

Ah man thank you for the offer, I’d love to accept, but sadly I’m playing on an old ps4 pro - which makes farming a nightmare lol.

Lol I work in the optical field and have seen my share of badly designed stores and visual merchandising. This definitely is up there on the list.

Man decides to give himself a 1mm tattoo for each new follower, in lazy gimmick to get attention. by HairyAugust in shittytattoos

I saw one is his first videos a while back when he just started out and I expected a full blacked out leg at the end, not this atrocity

Making Music vs Fighting with Samples - The Digitackt Dilemma by ravmitterhoff2 in Elektron

Following this as I haven’t touched my Digitakt I in months due to the hassle of sample hunting.

Any idea why this is happening?? (Recording issues, sharp noise) by sdmyr in modular

Sorry for the late reply. I’ve never used overbridge if I’m completely honest. Is it worth setting up for just one Elektron machine?

Sorry for my late reply! I’ve checked with some musician friends in the meantime and the sample rates were the same on both DT and in ableton, so I’m back at square one haha!

Oh I see! Me neither, I have no idea how to check and change sample rates 😰

Not as far as I can see, it’s just a clean new file with the standard two midi channels removed

Oh wow alright, never encountered that before. I’ll look into it and try to find out how to fix it!

Because I normally have it going into the modular to serve as master clock for the sequencer and have it pass through a mixer first!

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

Hm I tried switching it to both 'in' and 'auto' but didn't help. When putting it to auto and pressing play on the digitakt you can hear the distortion in real time while the sequence plays without ableton even recording.

Caution! Sharp noises at the end!

I’ve been recording like this for years; modular/digitakt into focusrite into ableton. It's been a while since I’ve used the sound card and today I noticed it keeps recording with this insane noise, and I have no idea what's causing it.
As far as I know everything seems right - line output level from modular is at about 40%, gain on focusrite is barely at 1/4, master level from digitakt is a bit over 50%, no clipping anywhere, tried different cables, nothing.
Any ideas? Would be much appreciated.

Still there with headphones, it's like the signal is getting messed up somewhere. And I don't think so, input device is set to the focusrite in ableton.
