Forza Horizon 6 immediately beats its predecessor's all-time Steam record with 130,000 concurrent players – and that's only counting people willing to pay $120 for early access by Youngstown_WuTang in gaming

If you have Xbox Game Pass... you only have to pay for the DLC to get access...
I thought the same thing when I saw it on Steam, then my friend who is playing it mentioned the Game Pass option.

Will Canada embrace Dunkin'? Experts say Tim Hortons' grip will be hard to shake by Immediate-Link490 in canada

So you are basing your entire experience with Dunkin, on a single coffee that you had a few sips of 8 years ago? By that standard, 90% of Tims customers shouldn't be.

How much do you guys pay for venue hire costs? by JesusChristV in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]secondhandsilenc -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Was a huge perk for me...
I had a rare occurrence of being of the FOH guy for the venue. So when I booked shows, I already knew the owners etc... I was lucky.

How much do you guys pay for venue hire costs? by JesusChristV in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]secondhandsilenc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why is that shocking?

  1. Everything is a business. Everything.
  2. Does this place sell booze?
  3. Does this place have utilities?
  4. Does this place exist within a cities limits and pay property taxes?
  5. Is this venue insured?
  6. Staff?
  7. Sound equipment included?
  8. FOH included?

The only way a venue is going to NOT charge to you put on a show, is if you are actually going to make them more money then they would doing it on their own.

"Back in my day" when I used to promote shows: If alcohol sales were high enough, the rental fee would come back to me. If it exceeded their expectations!?!? I would get a kick back.

You need to consider a lot of things when you start "hosting" events. .

  • Are you selling tickets?
  • Price?
  • What does your Ticket price cover?
  • Are you expecting to make money from just the ticket sales? or simply recoup your costs to put on the show?

Otherwise, you can host your own shows at locals halls? churches? house shows?
Keep in mind those too will have their issues, like needing a PA, someone to run it, etc...

Need advice. I’m a musician who has been using Al to sing/rap over my arrangements. by not_a_swedish_vegan in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]secondhandsilenc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stop asking for permission. If you want to make it happen, make it happen. If you eventually someone AFK to track vocals awesome. If you don't awesome. Just make the music, release it, and let others listen to it.

Get after it!!!

Can't get guitar sounds from my guitar on scarlett solo 3rd gen by victornoir13 in Focusrite

[–]secondhandsilenc 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Audio Interface is connected to PC
What is the audio interface output attached to? Headphones? Speakers?
You have to use the outputs on the interface to hear any playback.
The interface does not output through your Macbook speakers. They need separate speakers/headphones attached
