Because those things aren't platonic anymore once you kiss someone or touch their knee or neck. The moment you take the step towards intimacy, you have left the platonic steps on your ladder.

No one said it was easy getting the things you want in life and as a matter of fact, most everybody tells you that it's difficult. Emotionally difficult things are an excuse to not act.

My son is two and when he crosses the bridge at the playground he's terrified, looking down past the little cracks in the bridge that he can see through. He holds the side and takes steps two inches at a time and he's saying, "Scare! Scare! Scare! Scare! I'm scare! Daddy, I'm scare!"

But he keeps going and when he gets to the other side he says, "I DID IT!" I love it so much. It's a lesson I didn't have to teach him, but I'll be sure to remind him.

No matter how we feel, no matter how scared, or angry, or sad, or depressed we feel we can't choose those things. Feelings just happen. Crossing a bridge or climbing a ladder despite those feelings is what define you and what actually dictates your life.

Not if you're inexperienced, but if it's already part of the plan? Then everybody wants to bang anyways.

When you climb a ladder, you take one step at a time. You don't try skipping steps, because it gets uncomfortable. You don't just jump from the bottom rung to the top.

Same thing with physical intimacy. If a person will shake your hand or just take your hand should you hold it out, then that's step one. If a person will hug you, that's another step. If a person will sit next to you with your shoulders touching, that's another step.

And these are all platonic things until they aren't. So this would be the time to make it no longer platonic. You can touch a knee, a shoulder, a wrist, a neck, hair, and you can assume that if the person hasn't tried to move away from you, that a kiss might be in order.

If the kiss is successful, you just keep taking steps up the ladder at a comfortable pace for everybody.

I just see busses as a way to quarantine a sound. There are very specific times that you need to quarantine a sound and there are times where it doesn't matter.

So do I want the tails of reverb to pickup the delay, or should I quarantine the reverb?

And how about ducking the long bass notes that are interfering with the kick drum coming through the mix? I can quarantine that bass, treat it with the kick and let the kick have all the freedom it needs.

How about if I want 6 sounds quarantined together, so that they all share the same illness? This reverb is insane! It's sick!

....and if 6 different instruments were using it separately it would just sound like 6 freight trains smashing into each other. So let's have them all share the same sick reverb.

Lol go back to Russia

Humanity is a popularity contest.

My wife says, "It's not the nail..."

And I reply, "I know, it's the sweater's fault for getting caught on the nail."

"Exactly, thank you."

Cool, good, glad to hear I'm wrong

Is this how you make friends, network with other musicians, share ideas, and relate to others in a social way?

Just curious, because I've got quite a few critiques for you, if you're interested in a smoother way to live life. None of this negative whiney stuff you do is necessary and if you're actually interested in the information you seek, then a different approach might actually save you a ton of time and also you might emotionally end up a lot healthier.

Looking for reasons to be annoyed though is nothing but inflicting suffering on yourself and the people around you. It's entirely counter productive to your life and this society.

There's a 7 day free trial and then if you purchase it the updates are included for a year afterwards.

I've written, mixed, and mastered (then released) some songs now using only loopy pro and a guitar/mic. All the effects, extra instruments, etc were created with LP.

It can currently do for $30 what other entire software suites do for $1,000

You can use Loopy Pro on your iphone to control whatever AuV3 you want with your keystep and it'll master sync your clocks no problem.

Your life is about to change.

2015 is a few years ago? Fascinating.

Ok well, it went something like this, "Did you hear that they're putting in a new form of public transit for the blacks? They're planting trees close enough together that you can swing from one to the other! Hyuck. Hyuck. Hyuck."

The context was he just got on stage and was handed the microphone.

I'm in a Democrat city in a Republican state and I went to a local band jam at a dive bar. A random boomer gets on stage to do his 15 minute jam with the band and starts with, "Anyone wanna hear a great racist joke?!" Then told his racist joke.

These things still surprise me. There's regularly people at this jam that are not white, but this guy feels comfy telling a racist ass joke on stage.....in 2023.

Best thing we did so far raising this two year old. Man, second he figured out he can just make a fist and squeeze a couple times to get a bottle of milk? Sloth mode activated. FETCH ME MILK, PEASANTS! I mean "parents".

Tantrums were down trending until he discovered other things in life to demand.

Yeah, except the equivalent could be something like, "GE healthcare" and "wants you to move MRI/CAT scan machines" which are basically pallets full of cash that have tilt, temperature, shock, and moisture indicators slapped all over them. They're also the size of a small room, packed inside a box. You can't tilt the box, bump it, etc or one of those indicators gets tripped.

I was paid $15/h 😂

The rich guy would just insure the warehouse and its contents and hire the cheapest fuckin labor he could so he could continue affording insurance for his pallets of cash!

Biden won, Trump failed. Democracy won, coup failed. Would you have preferred the coup succeeded and the US democracy failed? Are you even an American? Lol just casually American? Or just like...you just don't give a fuck about the country remaining a country?

You know why it's still a country? Joe Biden, dumb fuck lol

I've literally never once seen someone that's voted for Trump say anything fuckin close to this and i am struggling with it. I'm so confused.

Rick Astley getting Rick Rolled is the best Reddit occurrence to ever occur

No, don't be ridiculous, what the fuck? It just exploded.

Here's what I understand. The way that vowels work in the acoustic space of our mouths in association with our vocal tract is how we get the flavor of the sounds. The way that the formants present themselves are usually following a 1x 3x 5x distribution for f1, f2, f3 and if you think of vowels as "using all the space in your mouth" then "divided by the number of vowels you use" the vowels can all be mapped by the different frequencies that present for each vowel.

A pitched down formant will need all of them pitched down, so you wouldn't adjust just one formant, because that would change the vowel itself. (Edit: After thinking more about this, i bet there's a fancy algorithm that could be used to move each one for each vowel)

You can play with them, but mostly all you'd end up doing is "make a robot voice" or alien.

(This as best as I can recall from Phonetics courses almost a decade ago though, so...I am probably wrong on some of this)

I admittedly have only ever adjusted these things in a research context and not in regards to music production. Though, I'm not sure why I've never combined these two aspects of my life before lol

And for under $20 you can change the tone significantly, if you take a few minutes to learn to solder!

I looked up misophonia and surely there's a sound that exists which you can listen to repetitively that doesn't trigger it? Is it all repetition?

Cuz metronomes typically have 3-10 choices of sound.

Right, something tells me they forgot to mention the "slight frog-leg taste". I don't believe they're not the slightest flavor of the water they stew in all day.

Either way, sounds delicious.

This is the better take.
