I've been trying to be patient and keep the faith, and I probably shouldn't have but, I looked at the analytics for my first episode. If I'm reading this right, no one is even finishing the video. Not even half. I was considering posting to ask for suggestions to further promote my channel. Now... I don't even know. I fought a lot of shame to give this a shot, at all. This is just... embarrassing.
Just put up my first episode. Repurposing and DIY are going to be a big part of my whole thing. The first installment is goggles made from recycled drink cans, so I figured it would fit well around here. I'd also appreciate some feed back. Check it out, please!
Using Reaper and Audacity to record and edit music from a keyboard. I have it plugged into the phono jack and set to recognize it as Line In. Unfortunately it still listens through the onboard mic so I get background/room noise on my recordings. How can I disable the onboard mic and have it only accept line in through the phono jack?
On my window 11 Asus laptop, I've trying to give reaper another shot after going goggled at it a few months ago. Some tutorials are making it a bit less arcane but I cannot solve this one problem out of the box and it doesn't seem to be a common one, not by my google searching so far. I have and old keyboard (Yamaha PSR-19) plugged into the phono jack, which is set to "Mic In" via windows. The onboard Mic, however is still listening so I'm getting everything in the room in addition to my keyboard on a track. I really hope I'm making sense here, I don't have the technical vocabulary (it would seem) and my brain is a bit foggy with allergies today (possibly why I'm so lost). I need Reaper to stop listening to the onboard mic and just hear the old keyboard through the jack. How, though. I can't seem to find a setting or option.
Kielbasa off the grill from the other day, 3 eggs scrambled and some of the good-for-me toast!
Got this at the dollar store. Feels like acetate. Cracks easily.
I got a lot of these elastic bands from my Joann when we closed. My initial intent was to just use inside garments but I've b hatched an idea to make fashion goggles (cyber goth/steam punk) but I'd have to hide, cover or otherwise disguise the branding. I've not good ideas, myself l, though. Any ideas how to approach it or is it a fool's errand?
Been at it since 2015, still have a lot of good stuff in inventory, but I just can't do it anymore.
options?
ETA:Look, I'm in an emotional state. I am so tired of this business. When I put my business model together, over a decade ago it was fine. It worked. It was setup for a customer base that just isn't there anymore and that's not my fault. Lego did it. They came in and changed the market to push out those who were directly stealing from them and used brick stores like me were just collateral damage, about which they couldn't care less. Now here I am, just wanting out with no better option than to settle for a lot less than what my inventor really is worth. I can't keep doing this, but I can't just let it all go, not after the amount of time and money that's been put into this. I was doing a good thing, keeping bricks out of the landfill and helping people build their dreams. My prices have always been more than fair. I just can't justify spending hours on one order for a few bucks, to send out one of these and one of those, of only the best stuff, leaving me with bins and bins of shit that won't move. Does no anyone commiserate with me. Is my experience/frustration so unique? How is there no other option than to settle for a buy-out?
I need the antenna for Lorex wire free cameras. They don't sell these anymore and no one out there seems to have them to offer. Is it a proprietary piece of technology, or is it something i can get else where?
SO, If I were to mulch up the leaves leftover from last fall with my mower and scoop 'em up, would that be OK to add to the soil in my raised beds?
They know they're wrong, that's why trying to talk to them in a neighborly fashion to ask that they turn it down a notch is met with barking and snarling like feral animals. I can't take the stupid from my neighbors any more. They're into loud stereos and jeeps, go to shows and completions and all that what not, good for them. Good to have a hobby. All I, or anyone else in the neighborhood wants is for them to keep it at al level where it glasses aren't rattling off our shelves in our own home. Went across the street to talk to them and was physically threatened and called racist slurs. No amount of reason would land. Other neighbors called the cops and yelled from their door to "Shut it down!" I'm the "white cracker" for asking them to turn it down 10% though. They've "got a show this weekend and these guys are professionals tuning the system up for the competition" though, don't I know? What bothers me the most is that level of stupid never knows when to quit. They think my walking away, was a sing of weakness and they will tread again, and again.
