Squee Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Just made two tracks for a small film that I think turned out pretty cool. If all goes well the film will be played in front of a pretty fucking large crowd (50,000 people) later this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr_Nova Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 (edited) Today it occurred to me that there must be a program out there that can rename multiple files in an intelligent way - ie. crop first 20 characters from all selected, crop last 5 characters, etc., so that any file downloads that have random arrays of numbers and things like that preceding/proceding them can be tidied up en masse. So I found that program, and good lord is it useful. Edited August 21, 2017 by Zephyr_Nova Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr_Nova Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 I also hit the jackpot on modular synth samples... which is what prompted me to look for that renaming program. I've been constantly downloading them since yesterday and I'm not even a quarter of the way through. FWP is that I'm going to have such an overwhelming amount of cool new sounds to work with I won't know where to begin. It really is insane how easy it is to obtain things for free that would require hundreds of thousands of dollars in the past. Of course it's not quite the same as having the actual gear, but still pretty incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghOsty Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 My internship got extended until the end of the year... Gives me time to either find something else, or gain the experience they want for the full position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zephyr_Nova Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 My lap top's a Mac but my desktop's a PC. I did discover the built-in group rename option, but it's very basic and doesn't do what I needed to save time. The program I downloaded covers every conceivable angle of en masse name changing.

Braintree Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 I joined a surf/punk band playing bass last March. We had our first show last Tuesday and it was pretty great. I wore a tuxedo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ambermonk Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Another Russian cooking venture. Just made my own blini (thin pancakes) for the first time. And was able to successfully do the air flip on half of them, but burnt my wrist with hot melted butter during one of the flips.Also found out that said blini with sour cream and black lumpfish caviar on top is fucking delicious - way better than I expected.

Leon Sumbitches Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 My flat backs onto the park and there's a big multicultural festival thing happening, a band are playing fiendish afrobeat jams, got the back door and windows open and am getting my own free festival from the comfort of my kitchen, might crack open a brew and have a little toke and really live the life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usagi Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 wish I was doing something like that instead of stressing over 3 assignments and an exam this week whilst also worrying about what's happening at work in my absence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audioblysk Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Got a new gig as operations manager of a multi-state cannabis retail group.

Hell, I worked 18 hours last week, accomplished everything needed and basically got paid like 125$ an hour to be in my underwear crunching numbers and writing up protocol handbooks.

Post it here for me maybe or PM it? Damn, that sounds like a dream job. Mine is like slavery in comparison. lol Oh don't worry, it wont always be this chill. It's going to be hectic as hell coming up real soon. I think every gig feels like slavery at some point... something about greener grass on the other side. The underwear and being at my computer to hammer out two days work in 6 hours while hanging with my cat - Priceless. I'll have to remember it when I've worked 60 hours in a week setting up a store.

After the WA stores are set up, the plan is to have me bounce out to the other states for week chunks at a time as they start. That's when I'll be earning my money haha, I FUCKING HATE FLYING AND AIRPORTS. Thanks my muscle-bound Canadian friend This next year I should actually have the time/funds to travel.

Hugh Mughnus Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Awesome news, aside from the flying! Flying gives me major anxiety and I don't really understand why. Usually break out into a nasty sweat on the plane etc lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweepstakes Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Flying blows and it's getting worse all the time. Between draconian security, stingy airlines, and shitty airport food, it's no fun. Fuck your in flight movies, give me a seat that doesn't paralyze my ass and solve the problem of the guy in front of me reclining into my face. They've got the fucking money for R&D, their priority is just to milk passengers for more of it, not make them comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
