Hello, I am trying to incorporate a device into my rig that is only set up to receive MIDI messages via a USB-B input on the back of the device.
My current rig, I use an interface that only sends out MIDI via 5-pin, is there a simple way to convert the 5-pin output from my interface to the USB-B input on the device so I can do MIDI program changes?
I’m curious about getting a quad cortex for some live solutions vocally + guitar wise.
How easy is it to use up all of the available DSP on one patch? For example could you handle an entire vocal effects chain (pitch correction, compression, chorus, reverb, delay, harmonies) and also run a guitar tone that has pitch effects, amp and cab modeling, modulation, reverb, and delay?
Would be great if I am able to use one Quad Cortex to handle an entire vocal effects chain + an entire guitar chain with pitch effects and big reverbs.
So I am driving myself insane and wondering if I dreamt this movie as a kid, because I have searched high and low to find it.
I was born in the late 80s, I have a very vivid memory of renting a movie as a child in the 90s. It was a movie with a bunch of people on an island, and the fruit on the island had some kind of blue goo instead of juice.
This was either a very vivid dream, or it’s actually a movie. Any help?
This movie would have had to been made before 1997, and based on my memory of it I would be surprised if it was made before the 70s. Visually I remember it having an extremely 80s/90s aesthetic.
I’m sorry but the only details I can really remember are 1. The fruit had blue goo inside of it that ended up being some sort of problem 2. It was a bunch of young people on an island I believe. 3. It had to be before 1997, and I would be surprised if it was from the 1970s. My confident range would be somewhere between 1980-1997
I just found this Reddit post, and I’m wondering if this is it. But alas, no answers: https://www.reddit.com/r/HorrorMovies/s/tUDnm2nY3p
Is there any way to do this? Seems like a huge oversight to only be able to do it to every single waveform. But there are plenty of times I want to only increase the visibility of a waveform on one quiet item, and when I do increase it all of the other normal waveforms now look like they’re clipping.
I tried to solve this in the past and the consensus was you can only do that to all waveforms at once. If it’s not possible now, maybe we can bug them for an update? Am I the only person that really wants this feature?
I understand why the mental aspect of mushrooms is so emphasized, but what really has shocked me is the physical effect.
I personally am not a fan of THC, and to me THC seems more “mental” and that has included some of my most difficult experiences in high doses. Like most people I tried THC before mushrooms, and it scared me from trying mushrooms for a very long time. Then one day I decided to try psilocybin with some close friends, and I honestly prepared for the worst considering my experiences with THC. These are people I trust, so I let them know there is a chance I will have a very bad time.
It was wonderful, and surprisingly every single thing I prepared to confront that I thought would be difficult felt like absolutely nothing during the experience. Quite a relief, I did a large ~4g dose and had zero difficulty. This was years ago. Since then I have done it multiple times, and in my time I’ve noticed some very interesting physical effects that I think are underrated in this community. Not talked about often, and also there isn’t much research on the physical side due to its scheduling.
I suffer from migraines, and psilocybin has given me long term relief from headaches. I have some totally unfounded and uneducated but plausible theories as to why, but suffice to say I feel like psilocybin has a sort of “massage” effect on the nervous system. This also relates to things like PTSD and certain neurological disorders that disregulate your nervous system. I’ve had experiences that quite literally feel like my brain/neck/spine is getting pleasurably squeezed and tension released.
I think this physical aspect explains a lot of relief people get from this molecule. Your brain is your body and your body is your brain, so it makes sense that some people would explain a breakthrough as “mental” when it relates to things like depression or PTSD. Considering the hallucinatory aspect of the drug, it’s easy to associate these things as strictly mental. But I truly think there is a significant physical reaction in the body that people are experiencing, and they attribute the relief to a mental shift when it could possibly be explained by a physical shift (could argue those are the same thing.)
No one can think their way out of depression. Recovery comes from the ground up, it’s the reason people self medicate with drugs such as alcohol or opiates because it seems to temporarily erase or relieve the physical aspect of your suffering. But those drugs are very powerful and short lived, and include some nasty physical withdrawals which only make a problem such as depression worse.
Psilocybin seems to work on some kind of deep fundamental level with your nervous system in my experience. I’m curious to hear what some of your thoughts might be on this subject
As of this past year or so, there are essentially no 1000 series level basses until you get to the signature models. I wonder if it’s just low sales? I noticed recently Schecter basses have started to thin out in availability, this is all in the past year or so. I wonder if bass sales in general are hurting, or could it be some kind of manufacturing shift that is temporarily causing this?
Sonically there are modern bands (like in the Meshuggah realm) that are “heavier” but I really can’t imagine something more aggressive than Pantera. Riffs and also lyrics + vocal delivery. I’ve been an extreme metal fan my whole life and always go back to Pantera and realize they are heavier than anything else.
Meshuggah, Gojira, Humanity’s Last Breath, and I guess on the more prog side you could say Mastodon. And then extreme tech death bands. All virtuosic and heavy as hell, but none of them hold a candle to the pure anger and aggression of Pantera from Vulgar-Trendkill
Is it really possible to get much heavier and aggressive than Pantera? You’d be hard pressed to find a more tasteful and heavy guitar player, and also a vocalist that actually sounds pissed off for real and 100% sells it.
