Sorry I somehow failed to include the word "sharing". Last time I tried setting up a steam family it said we had to live at the same address.

How did you set up the steam library? Did you have to set up a virtual network or something?

Having the ability to lie and manipulate with no remorse will get you much further in this world than having morals and being correct in c/showerthoughts@lemmy.world
[–] datavoid@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago

That's not my definition, just my observations.

If I went out of my way to make someone feel small I would regret it afterwards, not be proud of myself.

From the perspective of a rich abusive CEO, they probably are happy. They get off on having power over people, and they do. Plus they can make more money than they can ever spend.

People who become wealthy naturally seem to have some sociopathic traits, but generally they also don't know how to stop working. They get everything they want by doing things they enjoy doing.

I have a brother who is the CEO of a fairly successful business. He loves bragging about what he's worth, and went from watching Silicon Valley and laughing extra hard at the bit where a bunch of companies in the show are pitching how they "want to make the world a better place" to giving me those words verbatim after bragging about how much money he has. He talks about how hard his job is and he wouldnt wish it on anyone.. But I have worked with him on previous businesses, and he quite literally can't stop working (even when high and drunk at 2am). I mean he literally CAN'T turn it off.

Throughout my childhood (and still now), this person used extremely obvious domination tactics on the people around him. One of his favourite moves is to either start texting or talking to someone else while I am in the middle of speaking to him. I am willing to guarantee that having the ability to use obscene wealth to dominate people makes him slightly fucking hard.

Believe it or not, social interaction isn't limited to social media. Or so I've been told...

How did Diddy get off with so much? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
[–] datavoid@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago

Diddy parties only happened because famous people enjoyed them, and he for sure still has a ton of artists who idolize him (and a ton of new young ones probably do now too).

Seeding issues (lemmy.ml)
 

Ahoy mateys,

I've recently been trying to set up a win10 machine for seeding, but have been having weird network issues shortly after I lock the screen and stop interacting with it. My internet connection goes down entirely for this PC, but not the whole network. Restarting fixes the issue.

I have already ensured power saving is off for my network card - does anyone have any other suggestions that I could try?

Thank you!

Can anyone recommend a VPN that has working port forwarding? (lemmy.ml)
 

I already had a cyberghost sub, but decided to try to switch to something better for seeding.

I have tested ProtonVPN and PIA, but ended up refunding PIA as the port forwarding didn't work once. ProtonVPN has worked maybe 5% of the time, and will likely be refunded as well.

Is there such a thing as a VPN that can consistently forward ports? I'm considering trying AirVPN next, but am hoping someone could confirm whether it works or not first. I'm also open to any other recommendations.

Thank you!

Is Termux still the best terminal emulator for Android? (lemmy.ml)
 

I've seen a few other terminal emulators floating around different app stores - has anyone tried these, and found that they were actually better than Termux?

Would love to check out any recommendations!

Paid Sample Libraries

As mentioned above, you don't really need to buy any additional samples. However, if you want some premade drum sounds or need to acquire licensed samples for a project, here are some options.

Recommended Paid Plugins

I'd advise watching videos / researching anything you are thinking about buying, as it is likely that there is something similar that is free.

Note: Many companies consistently go on sale for 50% off or more (iZotope). I'd advise making a list of plugins you want and waiting for a sale - some sites also offer educational discounts. Try asking!

Also, if you buy Waves plugins, you ~~are probably going to~~ will regret it.

Paid Ableton Classes / Tutors

Some people swear by finding a tutor you like, and paying for a pre-recorded course or lessons. These can get very expensive (see Berklee classes), but if you find one that seems like a good fit for you, it might be worth it.

Paid Music Theory Books / Websites

These are good... allegedly. Presumably also dated.

Sample Players / Plugin Hosts

Recommended free sample players and plugin hosts. Some of these are needed to play the sample libraries listed below.

  • Decent Samples - Decent Sampler - Plugin to play Decent Samples libraries.
  • Native Instruments - Komplete Start - Bundle of free plugins. Contains Kontakt Player and Reaktor Player, which are needed to play some free libraries and instruments. Also contains Komplete Kontrol, which is a plugin host that allows browsing / loading presets from NKS compatible plugins. Bundle contents can be installed individually.
  • Plogue - Sforzando - Free player to play SFZ and SoundFont libraries.

Sample Libraries

Most of the samples you need can likely be recorded yourself, or are already available in Live.

Maintaining a large sample library can take a lot of work, so I would recommend only downloading samples you know you will use. I would also recommend organizing your samples into folders by type (e.g. kicks, snares, hats, etc.).

When using samples that aren't included in Live, using the 'Collect All and Save' feature is generally a good idea so you don't misplace project files.

You should always check the license of any sample library you use in your productions. Some of the libraries listed below may not be licensed for commercial use. If you are unsure, contact the creator of the library.

Plugin / Live Device Sources

You don't need to buy plugins to make good music - the stock plugins in Live are more than enough. If you get into plugins, you might develop a problem, spend tons of money, and spend all your time managing files. But if you want to get plugins, here are some places to look. Note - M4L devices require Live Suite.

  • Audio Plugins For Free - Site that hosts free plugins.
  • Fabrizio Poce - Developer of Ableton Live devices.
  • iZotope - Developer of audio plugins, highly regarded for mastering and audio cleanup. Will be absorbed into Native Instruments in the near future.
  • Kilohearts Essentials - Awesome developer of audio plugins. All free effects can be incorporated into paid Kiloherts plugins, or used individually.
  • KVR Audio - Hosts a large database of plugins.
  • MeldaProduction - Developer of audio plugins. MFreeFXBundle is a large bundle of high quality plugins.
  • Native Instruments - Developer / purchaser of plugins - recommend downloading Komplete Start listed above. Has a free section. Big music.
  • Plogue - Great developer of audio plugins. Developers of Sforzando (listed above), as well as several accurate reproductions of classic synthesizer, vocoder, and console audio chips.
  • Plugin Boutique - Massive plugin store / developer of Scaler. Has a free section.
  • ReaPlugs - Stock Reaper DAW plugins.
  • Spitfire Audio - Developer of high quality orchestral instruments. Has a free section.
  • Splice Plugins - Plugin and sample store / host of Rent-to-Own plugins. Has a free section.
  • Tokyo Dawn Labs - Developer of audio plugins, some of which are free.
  • Valhalla DSP - Developer of audio plugins - some are free.

Recommended Plugins / Live M4L Devices

Always ensure compatibility with your DAW and operating system version before purchasing plugins. M4L devices require Live Suite - some require version 11.

Plugins in the right folder but aren't appearing in Live?

  • If this happens to you, try clicking the Rescan VST folder button holding down shift. This will force Live to rescan all plugins in the folder.
