    I think it was like the third line in the movie, the mother goes to the daughter: "I cant wait to hear your singing voice when you're older..."

    My eyes rolled so far back in my head

    Its a shame because I think this movie could have been really good. I loved the premise and thought it could have been a really good existential horror movie (Synecdoche, New York does a similar thing really well). But of course, its M Night so its not going to be done well.  That feeling of time moving much faster than expected hits close to home. 

    So idk, I'm still holding out for a good horror movie on aging. Anyone read the comic/manga this movie was based on? I think its called Sandcastle

    ended a friendship this morning.. again. after long chats over signal messenger. it's such a long dumb story but the TLDR is off/on long distance friendship once very connected and close drifted/ghosted then reconnected only to have conversation steered to only politics/ideology and she trying to put me in a categorical box. ends up i don't pass her litmus test for friendship because i don't 100% line up w/all her ideas. 

    so it goes. ended with "good luck" on both sides. what a joy.

    i'm going to turn off the political part of my brain some how since i obviously have no passion for it other than as an observer and don't want to get sucked into someone doing virtual "woke work".

    also from the memes thread.. so relevant to me. i'd add "i don't care"

    Could be considered a first world achievement. Seems unhealthy to be friends with someone who wants to stay in their own political echo chamber

    That sounds kind of next level. Do you just make copies of the track and EQ them differently?

    Personally I've been getting a bit of mileage out of Valhalla Supermassive. But I also like to take any type of delay effect and automate the crap out of it. Like you can move the timing knob really fast and let your daw record it as an envelope. You can get all sorts of scratches, screams and boing type of sounds that way.

    I don't make copies but instead use the "racks". There are instrument racks where you can stack as many midi instruments as your computer can handle. There are also audio effect racks where you can do the same with audio effects. There are also volume/mule/solo controls for each chain so you can kind of mix a rack

  4. So here's where I'm at. I feel good about the system so far and I'm at a nice stopping point where I don't have the strong desire to get new modules yet. 

    But I've been trying to plan out how to use my last 14HP. I feel like I have enough modulation modules and thinking of filling the rest of the case up with more audio processing modules. 

    Any recommendations?DSC01126.thumb.jpg.cd11774ce31a0beda9fe40d288c0f07d.jpg

    OK I just looked up the SP303 on Reverb and I don't even know  

     

    How?  Why?

     

    I mean it's a really fun little box but there's some serious mythology going on to push it up to $600+, it's not that fun.

    In some ways its a market bubble and possible hoarding combined with these units crapping out and needing repair after a few years of use and abuse. 

    I think the price will just keep on rising. It might get mythologized the same way as the TB303. The TB303 being a somewhat simple synth/sequencer with a lot of character and history backing it up. 

    Personally, I wish Roland reissued the SP303 with a modern storage format instead of continuing to sell SP404A's (which are basically 404SX's in new clothing)

    Are you planning on using the disting for sample playback?

    Possibly, I got it knowing it can do a bunch of different things without taking up too much space. Interested in mainly using its audio effects. 

    Speaking of audio effects, any recommendations for a good delay and/or reverb? 

  7. After messing around with VCV Rack for a couple years, I'm planning my first eurorack system.

    Surprised to not find a eurorack thread so figured this would be a good place to discuss. 

    Here's a sampling system I am planning:

    Delightful sound design and dense sequencing. I like the amount of variation, there are constantly things happening but everything sounds natural and effortless. I like it

    Do you have any particular mixing tip? Sounds really clean and balanced

    Thanks, I kind of mix as I go. There is some form of compression (high ratio and low threshold) on almost all of the tracks and a couple very broad EQs on some of the tracks that roll off 60hz or cut some highs

    That Shanty was fantastic. Nice how you let that Shanty-sounding theme get transformed though the all the chaos.

    Maybe there is a bit of Clark in there as well?

    I do have one note for the chord progression though - that next-to-last chord sounds a little odd. You could try changing the F into a G, so that the chord becomes a Gmajor instead of Bdim.

    Thanks for the chord note, will experiment with moving some things around.

     

    Appreciate the feedback guys!

  9. Just listened to Skinny Fists again for the first time in maybe a year or so. I remember liking this album a lot more but this time it felt very self absorbent and really indulged in its track lengths. Felt like the band set out to make >20 min long track without the material to really cover that time frame. There's just so much time spent on that album effectively doing nothing. There are a few spots that are really great that they sort of overshadow much of the drivel. But on relisten, much of it feels new because a lot of it is unmemorable. You have to wade through a bunch of muck to get at the parts you remember loving.

  10. I'm pro big-long-song. The parts feel like they lead to the next nicely, almost like a dj set but spinning your own material. Liking the section around 10:00

    One thing to maybe consider, it'd be nice to have a bit more atmosphere in the track, it's good you didnt go overboard with reverb but you could also go a little more wet. 

    Good job ?

  11. Checked out the Coen's 2004 remake of The Ladykillers. Really enjoyed this one and not quite sure why it seems written off. Performances were great and art design was on point. Never a wasted moment as far as I can tell.

    Going to rewatch this again soon.

    I just moved into a new apartment, and still getting set up, but it's mostly there. Pretty excited to get to work on some new stuff. I had all of my gear out at my last place, but I'm trying to take a simpler approach and just lay out the stuff I use the most.

    Massive respect for the old school Microsoft mouse.
