    Comment by 'Andrew Milner' in media '1 Week of Afterlife'

    Yeah, I sometimes overthink the intro instead of just going for the notes. I've been trying to finger roll it, with somewhat in-between results. And I sometimes think too much about the way I want to play it. Hence the stiff upper body :LOL:.

    So, somewhat bad audio included, but I finally managed to create a riff with my lovely Afterlife progress. Feel free to check it out :D. Also, first time filming myself and ...holy HFIL, is guitar face real :LOL:.

    1 Week of Afterlife

    A curious case of guitar face is ever-present in this video. Also, my progress on Afterlife after 1 week is there somewhere.

    Can't seem to put mixer as interface in DAW

    @Ed Seith , @Calvin Phillips and @Filip Tomiša I have managed to get it to work. I remembered from long days past a solution that helped me out of this pickle. I basically connected one of the mixer outputs to my computer line-in port. And it got the thingamajig going because I can select the...

    Time management and feeling overwhelmed

    No one said it's going to be easy. If you hate what you do (welcome to the club), then maybe a mindset shift might help. You might feel that work is important because everyone around you says that it's the be-all-end-all of things. I tried to view myself as a software developer for seven years...

    Much like how Brian May was born with the hair, so was M Shadows born with the watermelon. Currently listening to Nightmare makes this even funnier :LOL:.

    Motivation, time management, habits, grit etc.

    Hello there synners. I've seen a lot of topics surrounding motivation and time management lately, which is a very good thing. It means people want to get better. I have been blessed (and cursed at the end, because of the managers) to have worked in an online library for 3 years and I came...

    Time management and feeling overwhelmed

    Hey there. I highly recommend you try and find time to read this book: https://www.amazon.com/Secrets-Effective-Time-Investment-Achieve/dp/1511312424. But the gist of it from what I managed to write down is like this: - list and rank the different aspects of your life in order of importance...

    Can't seem to put mixer as interface in DAW

    I'll try that. I'll get back to you tomorrow. @Ed Seith yeah, I've seen someone mention ASIO. I'll give it another go and hopefully this will solve it.

    Can't seem to put mixer as interface in DAW

    @Calvin Phillips this is what I have in terms of devices The headphone microphone seems to be picking up sound, as well as the webcam one. I've reinstalled everything as @Ed Seith , but to no avail.

    Can't seem to put mixer as interface in DAW

    @Calvin Phillips and @Ed Seith thanks for the input. The idea is that the only thing I think noticeably changed was that I've added bluetooth receiver in one of my USB ports. Other than that, nothing has changed. I did run into this issue last time I attempted to record, but it somehow got...

    Can't seem to put mixer as interface in DAW

    @Ed Seith Didn't work, sadly. The idea is that I am using the Behringer Mixer to plug my guitar so I can record it in Reaper. The trouble is, while I can see the mixer picking up the input from the guitar, when I try to record something using the plugged in guitar it doesn't work. It used to...

    Can't seem to put mixer as interface in DAW

    Hey guys. So I have a problem that I did not have before. I have a Behringer Xenyx X1204 mixer and I plugged it in my computer via USB. At first, everything was great and I could record myself in Reaper, no problem. But now, I can't seem to be able to do it anymore. I can select the mixer as...

    Yeah, it's going better than I had anticipated. I noticed a bit of stuff that I need to improve though because it makes me miss notes (thing finger rolling). Also I tend to hold my guitar in a very weird fashion :LOL:.

    Days 4 and 5 of learning Afterlife. The solo is kicking my behind :LOL:. I get the feeling this will be the case for a long time. Also tried recording myself, sounds horrible, will try again tomorrow.

    All The Right Reasons

    People seem to like it. But I feel that they would like pop music with real instruments just as well. But that kind of music barely exists anymore. I mean I enjoy myself some Ed Sheeran. Especially his X album. And some of his newer ones are good as well. But aside from people like Ed, Adele...
