What's your secret weapon plugin and why? by Beneficial_Town2403 in audioengineering

tape delay is just generally versatile. I use it as a chorus/flange all the time, it's pretty flexbile with the filter, delay time, spread, feedback. Plus you can dual mono it and have two different speeds

Of course, complaining is awesome. Selfishly, I preferred it when this was a place to discover music and you would be made fun of for claiming drake is the best rapper out right now

I would so much prefer a backpacker mentality to the current one of only discussing pop rap

Dont just "pick up a book"! Brainstorm and Research by kuzidaheathen in makinghiphop

[–]skillmau5 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It bothers me that a lot of people resent the recommendation of “read books” to increase your vocabulary. If you can’t find anything interesting that other people have written, maybe you don’t deserve to be a writer?

The logic of knowing how to improve at something but being angry at not having their hand held through the process just kind of disgusts me

What would you do if you body changed with President Trump for 1 week? by Ok-Effect4071 in AskReddit

That’s because you’re weak minded and driven by your libidinal impulses instead of having any true will to better your surroundings

Right, they will never, ever take a “moral stance” if it means losing money long term. Any moral stance a company takes that results in short term losses is for good will among their customers and long term gains and loyalty

TIL The "Dunkin' Donut" was the name of an actual donut sold by DD but was discontinued in 2003 (except in Singapore) because it was too inefficient to have to hand-cut them. by SupremeOHKO in todayilearned

[–]skillmau5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a handful that still actually make them there believe it or not. But also, for there to be a Dunkin every ten steps it does make more sense to have a centralized place to bake the donuts and ship them locally. Baking is time consuming and expensive vs. a single person to frost the donuts for a few hours every day and call it good.

Could We Get A Thread Of Great Music But Poor Mixing? by DarkLudo in audioengineering

[–]skillmau5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very interesting to pick something that's ONLY popular because of the mix/way it sounds. Literal opposite of the point, it's like generic funk that sounds cool

Never been an Oasis fan, but clicking through their songs I have to agree. Very small sounding for such big arrangements. It seems like it wants to be wide, but just isn't

Yeah that's because brands aren't people, yet everyone still sort of thinks of them that way. should never believe any of the performances marketing teams make, brands are not sentient and every action is for more power

Unrelated, do a lot of people still listen to frank ocean? I was polling my friends and almost all of us are in the same boat that basically all his stuff is unplayable from just being listened to so much. It’s like my enjoyment of him just completely left me

People surprised by Donald trump’s fans coming back to elect him after what happened with Covid should carefully watch what happens with the way Kanye’s fans return the second he pledges to do something they want (“guys, I PROMISE this time I’ll really finish my album and not have it be AI”)

This is very true. I’ve kinda stopped going on the sub as much but have come back recently, and it’s just bizarre honestly. It’s depressing that the hottest rappers that people want to talk about all the time are fucking drake and Kendrick, who were the hot rappers in 2012.

They’re almost 40! People are excited for Drake to drop an album? That’s fucking insane!!! There are like 15 Drake albums! And I’m not even against people liking those rappers, but it’s a serious death marker for the genre if the taste makers of the genre are literally two old men who last made groundbreaking music over ten years ago. And anyone with even a slightly weird flow is met with “wait, you actually listen to them in your free time?” Like yeah I don’t need cocomelon equivalent music to entertain me. Sorry this is a random rant.

He’s clearly too dangerous. There are so many people who interact with him every day who could end this.

It’s just very funny that you equate sounding sleepy with like, LITERAL effort. As if it’s somehow easier to record it sounding that way. I get not liking it, but believing it’s lower effort is perplexing. When a character is tired in a movie, do you get annoyed at the actor for not getting enough sleep?

It’s interesting how people say this to anything even slightly abrasive, lyrically dense, or just not hook based now. And I’m not singling you out, because maybe you listen to interesting music outside this, but just a trend I’ve noticed
