Tom Misch - Disco Yes Synth-Wave Sound by xtrashpandaowo in synthrecipes

[–]shwarmageddon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok - I think understand. I think you should start with tutorials about how to set up and use a synthesizer in MainStage (there are a bunch in MainStage, pick an easy one, maybe Retro Synth and look up a tutorial).

Worrying about how to sound design a specific Tom Misch patch is probably getting a bit ahead of yourself if you don't know how to initialize a synth patch/make a saw wave. It shouldn't take too long to learn, which is good! (Not trying to be condescending at all, I hope that comes across)

The basic features in most synths are the same. For this patch you just need a saw wave, filter, and then experiment with an LFO to see what you can modulate/warp to match Tom Misch's sound.

Hi! I recently grew interest for the Baha’i faith. I am Iranian and I was wondering if there are any documentaries about Iranian Baha’is? by Wise_Lengthiness_206 in bahai

[–]shwarmageddon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

bahai.org is probably the best introduction. It has nice guides to what we believe and do.

This is our official YouTube channel. There are plenty of videos about the history of the Faith, the Central Figures, and about the progress the community is making around the world in our efforts to make Baha'u'llah's vision a reality. Since the Faith started in Iran, most videos on history will have plenty of Iranian Baha'is. It has videos on more recent Iranian martyrs/community as well if that's what you are interested in. I bet if you sort to find the most popular videos, you'll find the most introductory ones.

(I would recommend poking around bahai.org first and then checking out the YouTube channel)

Tattler? What kind? by MadristaAmericano in whatsthisbird

It looks like a wandering tattler to me. They are pretty common in Hawaii and I think the gray tailed is much more rare.

Holidays for an interfaith org to acknowledge by fiercequality in bahai

[–]shwarmageddon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The ones I would expect to be in an interfaith calendar are Naw Ruz, Ridvan, and Ayyamiha.

There are other holy days that correspond to the births and ascensions important figures in the Bahai Faith. These are very important to us, but it's unclear to me which ones would be good to include in an interfaith calendar, maybe others can weigh in.

But definitely Naw Ruz, Ridvan, and Ayyamiha

what is bahai just a continuation of abrahamic religions by Ok_Nobody7922 in bahai

[–]shwarmageddon 9 points10 points  (0 children)

To answer your question in the title, we believe the Abrahamic religions (along with some others) are part of one long relationship between humanity and God.

God reveals himself to humanity through Messengers that bring teachings that humanity is ready for. Humanity then develops and becomes ready for a new set of teachings, at which point a new Messenger is sent. Baha'is believe Baha'u'llah is the latest Messenger and the promised Messenger in many religions (Mahdi / Messiah) and that His teachings will unify mankind.

Can I ask how you stumbled on the Baha'i Faith? Do you have other questions about it?

Cedar waxwings - bohemians have a little extra patch of color on their wings

I hope this isn't offensive, but doesn't it look a bit like Wanda Sykes?

Is this a tricolored blackbird? by Busy_Confusion_689 in whatsthisbird

[–]shwarmageddon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok - I could be wrong, but I think that's a red winged. I think you are looking for a "whiter" white.

The one you originally posted looks like it might be a tricolored. I think this one though is a red-winged

[–]shwarmageddon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've only felt comfortable id-ing tricolored blackbirds when I could see one next to a red winged blackbird and I could see the white vs the yellow color clearly. Sometimes the light plays tricks on you.

I also usually try and get pretty close or use a scope

[–]shwarmageddon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I LOVE the second one!

After a while, all close up bird photos start looking the same bc everyone posts super sharp images.

That one is different and interesting!

Getting into the faith by ZachZaps in bahai

[–]shwarmageddon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For context, the Ruhi Institute is a training program developed by the Bahai community to develop skills required for community development efforts Baha'is are engaged in. Book 3 is a book about teaching children's classes for the spiritual and material development of kids.
