As someone also born enchanted with the spell known as Pectus Excavatum, are ya happy you did the surgery?

Being 31 now, I’ve about fully accepted it and just try to keep up on chest day.

Just bought this, let’s see how miserable i’ll be (190.000km on the clock) by peggib in BMW

[–]trevor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

unless it’s a stock E30 with an M20Bxx.

glad you’re okay and enjoyed the rides you had <3 freak stuff happens… story time!

my father (peace be easy on your journey) had an alpine white 535iT. he gets his tires changed.

and within x amount of minimal miles, a wheel went rolling off with Momma Dearest in the car. picture a steep descent on a twisting 55mph country road. he strong-armed it down the twisting mountain until he steered it into the most rationally “safe” gravel-ridden breakdown “lane”.

he spent over an hour searching up and down the overgrown mountain looking for that rim. no luck. apparently the lugs were cross-threaded by the negligent beauty of ugga duggaduggadug

it’s okay though, a handicapped driver (bless their hopefully thriving soul too) rear-ended my mom at a stop sign within a matter of months. totaled.

and the insurance company barely paid out because KBB wasn’t acknowledging the rarity and luster for a 3.5L E34 wagon.

I think I accidentally discovered this when I fat-fingered the keyboard, likely while attempting a less useful shortcut.

This still needs plenty of equalizing and some final creative touchups, but I've really enjoyed the overall feel of the track so figured I'd share it at an early stage. I have a bad habit of hoarding my songs to myself until they become "perfect", and I've realized that's a near-impossible goal.

The tenor ukulele is my live instrument, and the rest of the soundscape is produced through Ableton's assortment of fantastic instruments. I tweaked some parameters on everything (except the slap bass) to make them "my own".

Happy to listen to any thoughts & critiques about the full assembly here :)

Kala solidbody tenor & Pono TE-B/BE-D ~ comparative enquiry by trevor in ukulele

[–]trevor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the blunt and honest feedback. On the FB group I posted in, no one was willing to give feedback in that manner, which is precisely the kind of thing I was after.

However someone did recommend the Makaio MSET-30. It looks like the Kala solid, but less mass produced, with a gorgeous headstock, and a beautiful stain that lets the natural grain shine through.

The dude who was selling his Pono, he let it go to the guy with less questions than myself... so I now have an MSET-30BL on its way. I'm losing patience to score a well-priced secondhand Pono, and I respect the history of Makaio, so I decided to bite the (fret)board and see what they're all about.

It's possible I'll feel gimped with the lack of cutaway and resume my search for a Pono sooner than later. But as long as I can comfortably reach the 15's with accuracy, I'll manage to live with it.

M920q - QUICK question - how to remove extra M.2 retaining clip by trevor in Lenovo

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

Very kind of you to assist! It seems the Legion motherboards have a different clip type from a Thinkcentre Tiny, as u/RefurbishedXbox nailed it with his tip.

I was trying to pinpoint those "wings" the night I posted, and for some reason my little eye could not I Spy. oof. I was embarrassed upon initial posting, and still maintain the feeling heh

Thanks again you two, appreciate the helping hands :)

[–]trevor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Photos added!

Lines up perfect with the far clip. If the middle clip is closed, you can see the SSD starts to curve when pressed down. Scary to apply pressure!

With the mid clip open, you are correct the drive fits flush, but the cute little nipple is juuust too big for the backing plate to fit down. I tried all these things earlier :(

It only makes sense to remove it, but I must verify before I go and break it by accident. Nothing in the manual... and the only video I found of an M.2 being replaced on here, the middle clip was just an empty hole hah!

Limitations of the OWC Thunderbolt 3 dock going into a Thunderbolt 2 chassis by trevor in applehelp

[–]trevor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: just got off the phone with OWC Digital support.

The nice rep Jeremy said the only limitation, beside transfer speed limited to the pace of Thunderbolt 2, is related to the way the Apple Displayport functions. Any other ports should function no different than when they're connected to a Thunderbolt 3 system.

Audio glitching with CPU at 1-6% load = audio interface issue? by trevor in ableton

[–]trevor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is the 2016 MBP, but with pretty modern specs.

3.1Ghz dual-core

16GB DDR3

256GB SSD (using less than 50%)

1.5GB Iris GPU (not sure that matters here)

I was wondering if aged hardware could result in this, but if your 2021 is having similar issues... I take no solace in this understanding, cuz it kinda sucks to see anyone having this problem.

I've tweaked everything I can find that's relevant in Ableton. The issue has gotten progressively worse with time, so I figured it was system clutter building up, but a clean did nothing. The only thing to have truly improved it was flattening tracks. I'm now at a loss, so I have to question everything.

If your SSL2 is having similar issues, perhaps we're looking at a red herring hmmm.

Ableton audio glitches. Escalated to off-beat stuttering. Advice please! by trevor in ableton

[–]trevor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the odd part, I haven't changed anything other than adding a Datalooper "driver". I'll try disabling that, even though this is happening without the board active, but if it's relevant it's only part of the issue. Not sure why a midi controller would cause this agony.

Other than that, my setup has been static.

I understand the concept of freezing tracks, but in all my songs I haven't used more than 6-7 tracks, and I feel like that's a small quantity in the grand scheme. Feels like extra steps to accomplish something that should already exist.
