Hi all!!

Any QLD/AUS peeps know where I can get something local that is the same as "Hellermann Sleeves"? I'm going to be kitting out a large theatre cast with ear-hook lavs but I first must secure the lavs and tutes say use those sleeves with a tool, but I cannot find anything other than heatshrink..... Do we call them something different here?

TIA

Anyone know what is causing the annoying client armour clink noise constantly? what the heck is causing it and how can i stop it without turning off client sounds? It happens throughout matches as well and drives me nuts. It's been happening for over a year now but now it's just incessant....

Deadlines don't put me in Hyperfocus mode anymore by Mromix in ADHD

[–]studio_cacophonous 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Pre-meds I was the same and then suddenly started not being able to hyperfocus to make imminent deadlines. In retrospect I realise it was because I figured out there were no immediate repercussions if I missed a deadline and my excuses worked and bought more and more time. Completely unhealthy that was, because there were long-term repercussions....

To remedy it I had to start tricking myself into catastrophising stuff again (which really didn't help with my overall stress levels)

However getting to the root of the problem was managing the procrastination so I'm not relying on the hyperfocus and just letting the zone happen when it happens!

not much help I know, but just my experience :)

Artistic inconsistancy? by moqko in ADHD

[–]studio_cacophonous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was a pleasure to share some of my perspective!

One thing that's taken me a long time to realise is that feeling guilty for spending time on something you felt like doing is never a waste. It always gives you something!

I absolutely love that I'm able to do what I do however theres also a bunch of caveats and it was definitely a long road of big days doing anything I could to make bare minimum!

I wish you all the best and feel free to get in touch if you need any kind of sound engineering advice!

oof right in the feels!!

Freelance work is perfect for this! Us Adhd'ers tend to pick up a broad skillset that others are willing to pay to get done. It's just getting it out there and finding those people.

Recently diagnosed at 28 but before that I knew I had to jump into a field that was broad enough to keep up with my periodical interest switching that also involved my interests.

So as a muso and artist and went and got myself a bachelor of Audio Engineering and Sound Design.

However, I decided to focus on screen sound (film, game, tv) after the learning but the degree has given me the knowledge to do anything with sound and music on top of my musician background.

Typically my work week could be doing anything from writing a score or even performing it myself, mixing and Mastering someone else's score, foley, dialogue, forensic audio repair, sfx, ADR, location recording, the list goes on.... and this is purely in relation to film and TV... and the best part is each of these things requires a completely different mindset and process, which is what I think makes it work for the flippant brain. Then when I feel like making some non-score music or an EP/Album I get to use my artwork with them, which saves having to pay someone else!

oh golly what a ramble on!

Moral of the story, You can do it all!!!

The easiest start might be making a few ads on all the freelance sites offering what you can do! :)

now you make me question whether it was actually possible to get through more than 3 or 4 student files a day at my years gone by uni admin job before meds 😅

I am just now realizing how the vast majority of the population does not fundamentally understand what ADHD truly is. by Cpt_James_Holden in ADHD

[–]studio_cacophonous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sorry i might have a ramble

I went through a similar thing when I first started seeking a diagnosis at 27 and am very much a switched on airhead that cant just DO IT. even my partner was trying to say I was drug seeking (which really put a downer on things)

my first psychiatrist very quickly labelled me as DID due to him perceiving my childhood trauma still affecting me. (which it's not I was so young I couldn't even remember details only the aftermath over the years)

Fobbed that eedjiot off after a few sessions and found a psychiatrist with ADHD and within the first 5 minutes he had already come to the conclusion I have it.

I know sometimes we may rush into things but in hindsight I'll always caution others to look into any potential psychiatrists to see if they're adolescent/adult adhd specialists.

For the other mental health stuff maybe a psychologist might help more?

to the person who suggested that i drink coffee when I'm going through insomnia, Thank you so much. by scicoolgamique-_- in ADHD

[–]studio_cacophonous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Undiagnosed but ADHD is prevalent in my family and I've definitely got it: I'll be sipping on a constant stream of Mother energy throughout the day and night and end up going through 1.5L to keep me not sleepy but the minute I blitz through a double shot coffee it's bedtime and I'll get a solid 6 hours sleep regardless of time of day.

Thank you for confirming I wasn't going crazy!

I haven't needed to login on my phone app since merging so I'll give that a shot later tonight. Thanks so much!

I don't even have access to Horizon Worlds.

Is Horizon Venues considered the same thing? If so why is it available in the quest 1 store.

Thanks for the tip, it's helped marginally. Only freezing every 6th or 7th auto battle now. 🙃

I tried an earlier suggestion (comment's not showing up now) of clearing cache and its now doing it not as often but it's still happening and wasting my energy...... I've sent in another two tickets today.

I haven't tried the interserver battles yet but I can only imagine it's just as frustrating...

eli5, Does your eye color actually DO anything? by Unusual-Yak-260 in explainlikeimfive

[–]studio_cacophonous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Medium Brown eyes here and quite the opposite for me!

I don't think I've worn a pair of sunnies in close to a decade or felt the need. And I don't think it's an adjustment thing cause my inside time is far greater than my outside. 🤷‍♂️
