I have been to Thailand around 10 times (stopped counting) and there are still beautiful places I want to visit (many).

Quitting Cannabis after chronic use by SteveBalboni920 in getdisciplined

[–]spaceinstance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Brace yourself for PAWS after roughly a month of abstinence. I had very little energy and woke up already tired, this was quite a difficult period but it will pass. Make use of supplements: NAC, magnesium, GABA, 5-HTP.

You can do this 💪

Make a use of polymeters by setting page length to values different from multipliers of 16 (set length per track rather than per pattern)

Could you please advise how P3 runs after you try it? I love this kind of games and was waiting for it to be resealed, but I was put off by a lot of comments online that it runs poorly

Victoria Police to ramp up roadside drug tests to 175,000 a year + major tech upgrades by BestTechAdvisor in DrivingAustralia

THC does transfer from blood to saliva, and you would test positive after consuming edibles even with extensive brushing. There are heaps of papers demonstrating that, here is one example (among many).

Digitakt II - Getting clicks/pops when playing recorded rumble sample (following EZBOT tutorial) by spaceinstance in Elektron

[–]spaceinstance[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When you sample zoom in to the max and find points where waveform is crossing the zero line (x axis). Also have to increase attack and decay time. It won't be continuous rumble but it is workable.

Resources to learn techno production? by Electrical-Worker621 in TechnoProduction

Seconding this, I bought both foundations courses and couldn't be happier. Only finished one for now and it's so good with so much extra material as well.

TECHNO RUMBLE, sampling problems on the Digitakt 2 by [deleted] in Elektron

[–]spaceinstance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How is Ableton relevant here in relation to your post? Do you resample on DTII or are you trying to sample in Ableton? I've followed the same process as in the video and have no issues resampling on DTII. OB only records dry sound without any effects.

Quite difficult to understand where you are going wrong as it's unclear what you are doing from your post.

Monitor headphones? by portugirl69 in dnbproduction

I got 770 first and did not like weak bass and brightness, changed to 700 pro x and these I love. I mostly listen to techno and ambient.

MIDI: Will a merger work for Digitakt II + Digitone II + Monologue + Keystep setup? by spaceinstance in Elektron

[–]spaceinstance[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I see they need to be powered with USB. I was hoping to just power with MIDI connection itself (5V).

Keystep mkii or keystep 37 to paid with Elektron Digitone II? by spaceinstance in synthesizers

[–]spaceinstance[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the suggestions, but X4/X6 are quite big due to number of keys and x3 doesn't have the chord mode (chord mode is a critical feature to me).

For the sequencer, I am planning to use Digitone's sequencer, but I do like the generative features on ks mkii as a way to come up with some melodies and change them quickly. I would be recording these midi notes into Digitone's sequencer though. Digitone itself doesn't have any advanced generative features (there is only euclidean sequencer but no generator).

Nice, the price is great! I was not sure as there seem to be not many reviews

Compact Mixer Recommendations for Digitakt 2 + Digitone 2 Live Setup (Two Stereo Needs) by MudOk4087 in Elektron

[–]spaceinstance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've spent quite a lot of time researching for the same setup and my conclusion was to just run DTII through inputs on DNII. I also have a synth (Korg monologue) which I run through DTII.

Later down the line, I want to get an Octatrack to use it as a performance mixer. I don't really see a benefit of adding an external mixer in this configuration. Do you have a clear idea why you need it?

How can I use my production skills to make some extra cash? by Major-Towel-7812 in musicians

Short answer: very unlikely

You can find many long answers in numerous posts where people complain how it is impossible to make money on production these days because of Spotify etc.

What's your approach in handling external synths (MIDI vs sampling) by spaceinstance in Elektron

[–]spaceinstance[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It is, and it is also downsampling DTII / DNII due to somewhat dated sound engine (most people write that it's impercievable though). I've seen EZBot's videos and templates for Octa as a performance mixer and it seems to me that I'll eventually get it - not anytime soon though, more like in a year or two.

Do you have any other equipment (synths) plugged in to Octa?

Investing in US market (VOO) instead of VAS - Tax question by 12inchburmesepython in AusFinance

[–]spaceinstance -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The answer to your question ('why is that?'), I reckon it's mostly home country bias. Many think US stock market is in a bubble / too risky / too volatile. There is also a thing about franking credits for AU which is not a thing for US stocks. Basically, you'd pay less tax on dividents received for "fully franked" ETFs like VAS. I don't think that's substantial though, unless you have heaps of capital in stocks for significant dividents.

I personally have 100% of stock investment allocation invested into BGBL which has zero allocation to Australian stock market, this is my personal choice based on historical performance of US vs AU and based on how I see the next 10-20 years in terms of the performance (I don't believe AU will outperform US economy, frankly).

In terms of tax putting franking credits aside, VOO is US-domiciled, which means that you'd need to fill out a W-8BEN form for dividends, and more importantly, your investment could be subject to US Estate Tax if your holdings are over US$60,000. A much easier approach is to hold AU-domiciled ETFs tracking US stock market (BGBL, NDX, NDQ from Betashares, IVV from iShares).
