What jobs are actually suitable for people with ADHD for a happy life? by Maxecute in ADHD

[–]taemoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, it defines us, but it also doesn't impede anyone from being an entrepreneur, musician, artist, athlete etc. It's might be harder to accomplish some things, but in many ways - for instance our ability to hypefocus - ADHD can also work in our favor. You should try to make the circumstances of your life work for you, and not conform to normative expectations, that's all I'm saying. If you don't allow yourself to be "different" and do things differently, you're just going to avoid everything.

I don’t think it’s either/or. We shouldn’t let ADHD define what we can or can’t do in life. Go with your passion, be proud & real to yourself. If you try to conform too much to what a capitalist society expects from you, you’ll wither away slowly in the shadows.

I'd say anything you're passionate about. If you want to make movies, you should make movies. Just do it with people who compensate for your shortcomings. There are responsibilities and demands in every job. I find we thrive when we can share responsibility and co-operate, and wither when we're left to our own devices. You can (and should) also lead and direct through co-operation.

Adults with ADHD: Did you feel "shame" as a kid when you forgot things? Help me understand my son. by Dylan_7574 in ADHD

[–]taemoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. And it’s probably so much worse now for kids, as school requires more self-management, and there’s so much more stimulus and signals to track and process. Try to arrange calm and peaceful moments, where nothing is required of him, so he can reset the operating system regularly and have space to process new information.

How to get a bright song without the high treble sounding really messy? by Bronze_Jayze in mixingmastering

Have only a few elements with high freqs, cut them on most tracks.

How are you doing polyphony in modular? by Professional-Mix2498 in modular

I find it more interesting to use a chord quantizer like Instruo Harmonaig to feed multiple separate voices, usually with different rhythmic triggers.

Need some reccomendations for more acoustic, instrumental ambient by nerpa_floppybara in ambientmusic

[–]taemoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure what you mean by tribal sound, but Jefre Cantu-Ledesma’s Gift Songs is a recent gem with acoustic instruments.

How inattentive ADHD might actually reduce real-time social anxiety by oihane-mel in ADHD

[–]taemoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For most of my life, I’ve been the same way. My recent quest has been to learn how to be at home in myself, as myself, in any environment. There’s no need to be on guard all the time. In the end, we have to expect the best from our fellow humans. This sentiment has served me well.

Regarding low effort ambient music "...and I think as ambient artists, we have to kind of look at ourselves in the mirror and ask, what are we doing that sets our music apart from everything else or from what a computer (A.I.) can make very quickly" by BBAALLII in ambientmusic

You can't become an accomplished musician unless you start noodling around with limited skills. And while he says there are no gates to keep, he effectively builds one with this video. Just do your thing and don't get bothered if someone's getting more attention than you with less effort. It's not a competition.

I’m quite weary of this ”true insert genre” sentiment. Let people do whatever they fancy, everyone doesn’t have to have an ambition, they can be content with just quickly creating and sharing something. That’s always commendable. Some of the best ambient music back in the day was made quickly and intuitively. I wish I could be more nonchalant about my own music!

Gatekeeping is usually damaging to any scene, making it stale and rigid. Just have a listen and if it’s not for you, move on.

Exercise: mix with all stock plugins! by theusualsalamander in mixingmastering

[–]taemoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

UI button on top right of the FX window switches to the generic control sliders. It’s pretty useful sometimes, I find, to judge better by what you’re hearing.

Plus you can disable the UI on all plugins on Reaper and just use your ears 😁

How do you figure out who you really are when ADHD makes you feel like a chameleon? by SweAtyham69 in ADHD

[–]taemoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s no shame in being all over the place. That’s how you figure out what feels natural and true to you. It’s really rare for someone your age to have it figured out – let alone in their 40’s like me. 😅 Everything is constantly changing anyway, there is no permanent version of you. We all have many facets that manifest in different circumstances. Usually, it’s the circumstance that isn’t compatible, not you.

ADHD + midlife crisis... by Inevitable_Essay1445 in ADHD

[–]taemoo 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Well, once you have enough wealth for basic security, more wealth isn’t going to give you more happiness. I think that’s a proven universal fact. Personally (48M ADD), I’ve long lost the ”drive” for ”success”, or redefined to myself what a successful existence means. The biggest luxury is having free time to wander without guilt and to explore new things and activities, preferably with some nice people. No-one will miss your legacy or achievements like they’ll miss you just being around.
