@PNS That's a horrible pun. I appreciate it.

@PNS This is great lateral thinking but potentially a lot of maintenance as the tree grows.
I would have built the house at the top of the tree because I'm not a serious person.

@PNS It's a good ad. Well shot, fast paced, good choice of music, use of family. Most people won't listen to the message but more the way it's delivered and it was delivered well.

@eriner I read same in the last paragraph as sane.

@charlie_root @EvolLove You don't complain about things being hard if you are being recompensed. Printing money has put owning a home out of reach, the changes in society have put having a family out of reach.

@charlie_root @Humpleupagus @KramDellaKram That's a perfectly valid take. Workflow is important and people chose for that. They also choose for the type of saturation added to the signal. Curvature can do all the common styles of compression and it'll train you to use a compressor properly. Most DAWs come with perfectly adequate compressors though. I tend to separate saturation from compression for finer control but I still like MagicDeathEye on my master bus to tickle levels but add saturation.

@Hoss Female cops seem to tend towards aggression faster than men. It might be that they are constantly in greater danger having to deal with men who are the majority of criminals and tend to outclass them physically. That video was edited a lot but it seemed to be a good example of police work done well.

@Hoss We'll see, I guess. There's a whole reaction industry that would be nuked if the court rules in his favor. The text of the suit asks good questions though.

@Inginsub @Hoss Same dynamic as Heard and Depp, without the charm.

@Hoss Ethically, I see your point but with such strong opinions, that seems transformative. Interesting though, thanks for the insight.

@Hoss I didn't watch much but these are copyright claims and the people being sued will claim fair use. Sargon of Akkad won a fair use case where he'd just clipped and titled someone else's content. I think reaction videos are probably safe.

@professortom Seems like something you would hear in the age of onlyfans. There are parents involved in the businesses so they must approve.

@professortom For reference, Bonnie Blue purportedly slept with 1000 guys in 12 hours for money. https://thetab.com/2025/01/15/how-the-onlyfans-creator-bonnie-blues-parents-are-supporting-her-dreams

@professortom With her, I'm not sure. With others it seems like the parents are are like theater moms, pushing their little darling along.

@Flick @professortom The parents are definitely not looking out for the wellbeing of their children. That's prima faecie abuse when it extends back to childhood, irrespective of physical abuse. The popularity of onlyfans among women makes me hope that it's not a case of abuse in all cases. That would be a lot of abuse.

@Derb The video is worht a watch. https://x.com/ChrisMartzWX/status/1922306644441960458

@charlie_root @3T @BasedLunatic @dcc @urbancamper_55 @Doll @Frank @Sui @p @nyanide @SK1ZM @ned A lot of people think that the reason to buy a new synth is the filter section. When you add your own filters you're effectively creating a new synth. Current just has all the normal synth stuff plus the effects you have/want. Personally, I have too many synths and I don't know them as well as I could if I just owned one and learned it's edges.

@charlie_root @3T @BasedLunatic @dcc @urbancamper_55 @Doll @Frank @Sui @p @nyanide @SK1ZM @ned I think the airhorn sound is cliched but that's a taste thing. Good beat. Good (mini)drops and buildups. Really like the talking synth line. Nice clean arrangement and mix.

@Humpleupagus @charlie_root @ned Most mastering engineers play with the mid side balance. When you're mastering you often don't have access to the stems. You're right though a perfect mix wouldn't need that.

@charlie_root @Humpleupagus @ned mid/side on an individual instrument can be used as an effect but with mastering what you're looking for is optimizing the stereo field. Track I'm mixing right now, I knocked the mid out completely on one track.
