2021-09-02 at 2:13 PM UTC in Why won't Aldra get vaccinated?Walking around Whole foods wearing 2 KN95 masks with prescription swimming goggles to protect the mucus membranes on my eyes and 2 layers of gloves, first nitrile then latex, both with hand sanitizer squirted inside them and jostled and rubbed upside down to spread it out. My stylish clothes, I fashioned them myself out of medical antibacterial curtains. I carry my BIPAP machine on my back as a BACKPAP just in case. I have started keeping 2 pairs of nunchaku on my person as a matter of habit, in case someone tries to violate social distancing protocols and encroach within 6 feet of me. This is my newly defined personal space, this air is my air, and I shall defend my territorial sovereignty against your Chinese lung invaders with my own expertise in asianic martial arts. I am a 6th Dan black belt in Feng Shui and Tai Chi and my chakric potential is unlimited. I have started loading tranquilizer darts with doses of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine and I openly carry my rifle on my back to summarily vaccinate any coofers I see within a 100YD radius of me.
All this, I do for my fellow man. -

Everything you once knew and loved will be gone. Hate to be the one to break the news. Right now, you better focus on the here and now, not the tomorrow and ever after.

Originally posted by mmQ I need more tidbits from you for Facebook arguing purposes. I love to say "my geopolitical guy" in reference to you and then just reword things you say in order for me to seem smart.
Aldra is a top shelf lad,especially regarding geo-politics and foreign policy commentary and investigations. Knowing people on the ground in certain areas is pretty legit as far as sources go as well.
I always enjoy his geo-political analysis as well. I may not be as astute as Aldra in this regard, but you, me and him should become policy wonks and start a think tank. Call it: Institute for Comprehensive Strategic Policy Initiatives. Or ICSPI for short.
Then move to DC and give the State Department marching orders like the CFR does. -

Originally posted by mmQ Do you know how audio clips work with copyright laws? Not that it matters with personal use but I mean does one have to pay royalties for sampling little soundbites from tv shows or other songs or whatever?
I think sampling something and using it your own creative work is covered under fair use type stuff, but honestly who gives a fuck.
Originally posted by mmQ And nah I ain't trying to just make 20 stupid songs as fast as I can. I'll probably spend a month working exclusively on the first song I make as Im also learning the ropes. I ain't tryna to make garbage I want to make my first thing be something that would pass off as genuinely enjoyable being played at a club for thousands of people.
okay I see what you're saying. have another perspective: you will never finish even a single song if you "want to learn everything" and lean too hard on perfectionism. if you spend a decent amount of time on one song, but it's kind of garbage - still a song, but meh - just finish it and move on to the next one. seriously, starting from fresh will mean you've taken everything you've learned from the beginning of this journey and have a fresh new idea. trying to endlessly tinker with one song will get you absolutely nowhere. just own it and say fuck it my first album will be a bunch of experimental trash that I will never show to anyone but my closest friends. then start fresh with all that new knowledge.
although honestly try just making a beat. making a beat is technically very easy but also a good preview of if you have any musical talent at all -

Originally posted by mmQ Yeah that's some of the gist I've been gathering as I've looked into it… Even professionals that say they probably ultimately use like 15-20% of what the program actually has to utilize. I'll just do the YouTube route and try and soak in a bunch of tutorials. My main thing is wanting to be able to translate the sounds in my head into the music.. any thing I've dabbled in in the past was just fucking around with presets and making a song that way.
that's whats so awesome about something like fruity loops, and like I said I'm using it as an example since its what I know. im not sure how it works in ableton or anything else. but taking a basic idea for a song you have, especially something easy like the beat, can be set up in literal minutes. melodies and such are harder, and honestly if you want it to sound good you want to spend more than just five minutes on anything. but it is really easy for me to just make a very generic four on the floor edm song, grab any random audio sample from something (pewdiepiewhatanigger.mp3), and bam you have a "song".
pick a kick, pick a snare, pick a clap, open up the piano rolls for each one. go ham. open up one of the synths and create a sound, use that to make a melody, grab a good clip of a racial slur, put it together in different patterns and you have a song. you don't even need to eq or fuck around with lows and mids or anything if you don't want to. be the sex pistols. just make music -

If you can in your work, work on losing your attachments to the past and anticipation of the future. You'll find a state of peace that follows. I'm walking around a trap house 5 hours before the next man (my second, my best friend.) Wakes up.

Originally posted by mmQ I was gonna pay for it just because it seems right and I can't remember the last time I paid for any software whatsoever so it's like my way of encouraging myself to take the endeavour that much more seriously. If I invest into it I'll be more inclined to continue when the times come up where I may not necessarily feel like it. I think that's my train of thought anyway.
Yeah I was leaning FL not only because of it being much cheaper but also it just seems like the most beginner friendly one. I DLd the free trial one to mess around with for now.. same as when you had it I can't save anything I make with it but whatever. TIME WILL TELL NIGGA.
purposefully subjecting yourself to sunk cost fallacy seems kinda retarded but also very much in the spirit of this thread. however, you should think about how much better it would be if you just had both, and said fuck copyright laws. Besides, if you're being serious about spending money, you're going to have to shell out for all the plugins and shit that take these things to the next level.
One of my favorite plugins, I forget exactly what it was called, maybe Harmony? idk, but what it did was you could feed a picture to it and it would convert it into a sound that you could mess with. It was the most fun thing I'd ever played with I think, taking a picture of goatse and turning it into a sick sounding snare drum or something. Making the 9/11 towers into a synth. The synthesia of it was just perfect.
Of course that's an example of something that's probably more for fun and less for serious audio work but still, you're gonna have to shell out for dem plugins and honestly just fucking pirate it dude.
oh btw thinking about this, I realized that several years ago I had the foresight to upload all that music I made to soundcloud so it didn't vaporize when my hard drives died. enjoy these classic tunes, circa 2006-2009 using FL trial, sans any tutorials or outside knowledge of how anything works. https://soundcloud.com/user-868890802
when I came back to FL years later and actually watched a few tutorials and how people do things it was so hilarious, I managed to do things in ways that would seem retarded and ridiculous, and had no idea how many things functioned. what I'm saying is that its so easy even a moron can do it -

Originally posted by mmQ I need to decide between Ableton and FL studio for my music . One costs 800 dollars the other 200 dollars, respectively. Well they both can cost way more or less.
I'm getting caught up in this shit too soon, I should try free trials and FEEL IT OUT. I just wanna dedicate myself to one.
why are you paying money for software. fruity loops has a special place in my heart, I remember making the shitty electronic music panthrax once described as a "sega in a blender" using a trial version of FL that didn't allow me to save and load songs so I just got really high and did everything in one go. messed around with it again a few years ago and its still so fucking easy to use and its even more versatile. I know ableton seems more pro or whatever but im pretty sure FL will satisfy you just fine so im voting for the home boy -
