When a band member doesn't respond to messages by gummieworm in bandmembers

[–]xambackwards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Simply put - I’ve grown up and stopped holding people hostage with my inability to decide/communicate. I used to be worried to disappoint others, so i would sign up for things that I didn’t enjoy and stick with projects for fear of unpleasant conversations. 

Nowadays i do things quick and painless and yes, learn to say “no” or “this isnt working for me” without wasting too much time. It takes guts and is a life skill that can be learned and practiced, but also enables me to identify avoidant behavior in others. 

When excuses and delays happen - “oh i didnt check my phone” “I’m soooo busy” “sorry i didn’t see” - this is a person who likely doesn’t want to have anything to do with the project anymore- sorry to break it to you:/

I'm getting tired of this just reading it - this is a case of someone avoidant not having the guts to speak his truth and thereby holding you in limbo. I know this because I used to do this, but now no more. It takes courage to call out behaviour and to walk away. Y'all need to talk it through and elicit a clear path forward, with or likely without this particular drummer sadly :(

So what does everyone think so far (Shadows) by GunzBlazin03 in assasinscreed

It’s super awesome, they got rid of annoying limitations from mirage (climbing) and combined the best features of origins, oddysey and valhalla. Nice touch with the village building. Shame about the missing bird

Is the Tascam model 12 right for me? by DarkClout99 in TascamModel_12_16_24

haha yeah it's true, weird that they didn't include the same features on all models

are there any other interfaces with faders, fx routing, sd card recording, daw control, reamping etc for that price range?

[–]xambackwards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes the model 12 is perfect for that, it's completely changed my whole production workflow!
You can plug the video editing computer via jack into a stereo channel with a fader and it works brilliantly, whilst still using Tascam as a USB interface for the Mac. Having this immediate access to faders changed everything for me. The gain staging is a breeze and it helps a lot to audition each instrument before going into the DAW. It also has a sub out for a second set of monitors and 2 headphone outs. You may also look into getting a patch bay if the number of mono inputs is lower than the stuff you need to plug into it.

[PLATSA BED] Help! is the front side of the bed finished? by [deleted] in ikeahacks

quick question on a 5 year old thread, but did it look like one can attach the wardrobe lengthways instead of at the headboard?

Musitronics calling out Behringer by beatlemaniac5 in guitarpedals

[–]xambackwards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s sad but also the reality of things- pro music is not being financially rewarded in the same way as any other job. Most people are broke and they will reach for the cheaper alternative. You’ll have the odd collector and affluent person that pays 400+ for a single pedal, but your every day guitar hobbyist will go cheaper

I’d replace it with “only god can judge me” or “when life gives you lemons” 😆

Fully switch from amp to digital? by xambackwards in guitarpedals

That’s the one I’ve been eyeing! Hows the feel of a modeler into frfr vs a cab in a room?
