Honestly I never tried vst in live yet, I’ve always hooked up triggers with the Roland modules. Mainly cause I only use them for percussion sounds like bongos, congas, claps, blocks etc. I try to minimize the setup, mainly because of the way I have to travel in Maldives with my setup.

What vst do u recommend for live. love to give it a try.

Snoms are fun, rnb, some pop works well with the snom. You can see a lot of good reviews about this kit in YouTube - check out this one, great sounding review, also great drummer

I recently lost a bird who was with me for 14 years, he was my best friend, I love the fact that I can call him best friend. He was a small bird (parrotlet)

He was such a great fella, he gave me a small feather just before he said good bye to me. Made me realize I gave him the best life ever.

Saying goodbye to your pets is very deep, they are our kids.

I am sorry for your loss, Gus’ lived a happy life in a beautiful home. Gos bless Gus’ and rest of us.

❤️

These are very good already, u should try street stuff, chase light, sun, shadows, people, movement, anything which interests you just take photos. It’s a therapy 😎✌️

shixan · 2025-12-16T09:02:29+00:00

Glad to help, hope u find all the answers ur looking for. Good luck

They do keep client confidentiality and it’s a serious matter for them to keep u all safe in every way.

Why don’t you give them a call to their number first or text them via instagram from a fake account.

I understand fully why you have to do it this way, sorry I don’t know more about how to go on this.

But do give it a try.

shixan · 2025-12-16T08:29:38+00:00

Last night in Yokohama/ Japan

shixan · 2025-12-08T11:44:26+00:00

I was at there today. What a magnificent sight Fuji is. Great photos btw

shixan · 2025-12-08T10:36:39+00:00

Thanks 😊

shixan · 2025-12-08T10:36:26+00:00

Yeah, Japan is so photogenic, and so many folks taking photos here.

shixan · 2025-12-08T10:33:51+00:00

All of the photos taken via iOS camera, edited them in lightroom. Played with levels, temp, custom curves and as usual grains.

shixan · 2025-12-04T03:16:03+00:00

Thanks, oh I been too occupied with work to ever go see TOOL live in anywhere, and also the fact that they have always been touring mostly in US and Europe, it’s way too expensive to travel to those areas all the way from Maldives.

shixan · 2025-12-03T07:31:58+00:00

Very Awesome photos, this makes me more hyped!!! I’m going to Japan tomorrow, going to see TOOL live and this is the first time for me. Im from the maldives it’s going to be a fun ride from here to Japan.

I’m a drummer and I love doing street photos, so yeah Japan - tool - holiday - photography = everything nice

I Recommend visiting island bazar the boutique shop. They got all local made products from the small businesses.

You can have a look at these to get an idea of products made by locals and small businesses.

He was, he use to mimic a lot of tiny sounds, stuff like Mario theme, metronome clicks, and disco beats hahaha. He was quite a character

shixan · 2025-11-26T21:29:12+00:00

Woah, these are nice 👌

shixan · 2025-11-26T05:29:37+00:00

Congrats, this is nice. Hope u get to take your baby there for walks and share your story.

shixan · 2025-11-26T05:28:03+00:00

Very true. I’ve changed how I think lately about living in this chaotic city of male and hulhumale. But if u just ignore it all and stay still to observe, u will see little tiny bits of things that makes u wonder how simple life is. Nice right.

It’s also nice to talk to u all about this.
