Drummers covering other drummers is a very popular scene on Youtube. Check out Alex Rudinger to start and just go down the rabbit hole.

Which games made you go into an "addiction phase"? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] AstralPath@lemmy.ca 3 points 12 hours ago

First it was Call of Duty in the mid 2000's. Then it was WoW. It all culminated in EVE Online. Untold hours spent in those games.

I have zero game addictions now. It just doesn't hit like it used to.

I'm more into stuff like Dwarf Fortress, Cogmind, and Caves of Qud now.

How many musicians we got here on Lemmy? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

I love how on the internet all it takes for someone to call someone a shit parent is a mild difference of opinion.

It's just 0 -> 100 at the drop of a hat. Its fucking hilarious to me.

Linux is in no shape for a non tech literate person just to jump into.

The tech illiterate are not typically the ones complaining about Microsoft; they mostly have zero clue about what's going on. Stop choosing perfection as the threshold for usability.

I saw last year's North American eclipse in the path of totality. I know what you mean. It is very strange.

I'd chalk that up to the assumption that a cloud has partially or fully obscured the sun. If clouds weren't a thing, we'd be much more sensitive to light changes as they wouldn't be a part of our outdoor experience.

I'm not checking to see if the sun is still there every time the ambient light outside dims, y'know what I mean?

Placebo is a helluva drug.

Would you be ready to mold the relationship on the spot, which you have seen as a platonic friendship from the get-go?

I'm not a relationship expert so I can only give a response based on my own subjective feelings and opinions.

I'd say that you'd probably be able to tell pretty easily if a friend would be a suitable partner if you've spent a decent amount of time around them. It might be a bit of an uncomfortable conversation to turn them down, but good friends should have healthy communication and a discussion about why the interest isn't mutual would probably go over well. If you just say no and provide no context as to why, that would likely end badly.

would you be able to say that they were always was your crush?

I did exactly this with my wife. We initially became friends because she was one of my roommate's girlfriend like 15 years ago. We had a strictly platonic relationship for about 10 years, but I was crushin hard after 5.

Turns out that so was she.

Eliminate Drum Bleed w/ Gate-Generated MIDI | #blackriverstudio (www.youtube.com)
 

Hey everyone,

Not sure I've seen this particular technique before.

Here's a tutorial on how you can use REAPER's stock gate plugin to generate MIDI that you can send to an EQ to modulate frequency bands to eliminate bleed in your drum tracks. This is super powerful on toms.

Inspired by the FabFilter Pro-MB bleed reduction tricks.

Made on Linux: Enslaved - Havenless | Cover by Justin Bourdeau (www.youtube.com)
 

This is an all instruments/vocals scratch-made cover of the track that got me into Black Metal. A truly iconic masterpiece of atmosphere. I always wanted to do a cover of this track. I'm very happy with how this turned out.

Thanks to Yabridge (https://github.com/robbert-vdh/yabridge) I was able to record, mix, and master this entirely on a Linux system (Nobara) running Reaper with stock Reaper plugins, many FOSS plugins, and a couple choice paid plugins; namely GGD Invasion and Sketch Cassette II. Everything else was free or open source by choice.

Looking for French Guitar/Synth/Metal/Audio Production Youtube Channels (lemmy.ca)
 

Hey folks, I'm hoping to find French Youtube channels to subscribe to based on the topics above. I don't get to engage much with French and I'm trying to maintain my ability to understand it and speak it. I figured if I inject some french content into my Youtube algorithm that would be very helpful.

Any recommendations would be appreciated. :)

If the vacuum of space couldn't kill you and you had no suit... (lemmy.ca)
 

...in what proximity would you have to be to the sun and how fast would you have to be spinning (like a rotisserie chicken) so that your light side didn't burn and your dark side didn't freeze; rotating just enough to keep a relatively stable temperature?

Absolutely absurd, I know but this question somehow popped into my head and won't leave. 😆🐔🔥🧊

So this whole vigilante murder thing... (lemmy.ca)

[EDIT] Inb4 more people try to suggest that I'm mourning the loss of this scumbag capitalist fuck: No, I'm not sad he's dead. No, I don't think corporate murder is acceptable and no, I would not ever rat to police if I knew the shooter and yes, I believe the punishment fits the crimes he's committed against untold thousands of people. THAT SAID...

I'm not down with vigilante murder or anything because it seems like the slipperiest of slopes toward chaos, but what other option is there in a situation where someone seeks to make an impact in this way? You can't just beat up evil CEOs and let them go back to work. It would be naïve to expect them to change their ways when faced with consequences for their actions and then promptly let go. It just seems like the chances that it emboldens their penchant for exploitative behaviour and disdain for people in need are too high.

We're just born into and strapped to this capitalist ride and expected to sit quiet and make these leeches their billions. How else can this cancerous greed possibly be dealt with? Is vigilante murder the only effective option? Honest questions. I'm terribly conflicted and I'm genuinely curious what more reasonable and intelligent minds than mine think about this because I can't think of an alternative to murder in this case.

Ideally, we wouldn't have to resort to vigilante killings to level the playing field but I 100% understand that we don't live in a society where the rich will ever give a fuck about the rest of us or would ever sacrifice their power over us in the name of goodwill.

Am I the only one that thinks we should have dedicated buttons for copy/paste on keyboards? (lemmy.ca)
 

I was just reading this thread... https://sh.itjust.works/post/23476261

...and it got me thinking about something that I've wanted for a long time. Why is it that keyboards have not evolved to have dedicated copy/paste keys left of the main board? I'd love to see an additional column of keys left of Esc->Ctrl configurable as macros at least. I do a lot of copy/paste for work. The current shortcuts arent terrible or anything but they're not exactly comfortable. I'd rather move my whole hand to the left for a macro key than contort to hit the current shortcut.

What do you think?
