- when i said i quit, i meant it - i have not signed on once since. not even a peek. i deleted it
- if i was talking about EQ on 128kbps mp3s i was talking about trying to salvage something 15 years old that i can't re-export without a winXP machine
thanks, mermaidman's worst nitemare

He’s not wrong, we like you a lot but it’s like the fruit flies that won’t go away. Have a good day.

mermaidman, 4u. the 128kbps fing
if you'll bear with me for a moment -- i find my memory is tied to sense of place, e.g. where i physically was when the memory happened. like it's an anchor of sorts. always there, like a background hum. when it comes to something like discord, well, go figure, my brain goes: it was discord, in my office. with russel and indeks. it was a strange angle and... nm, that's enough.
you were talking about me talking about EQ and 128kb and i got a flash of place, i must admit. i thot: shit, that means there very well could be an actual memory attached to this, and, well, no, i don't export 128kb ever, but... ugh, there was something? maybe?
it goes off kind of like a flashbulb: discord, studio, but it's mostly overwhelmed by my mixer and
can't hang on to it
and i have it now. sort of. for no reason at all -- my brain says: here, it's solved. and
it feels vaguely like i was mad at soundcloud and how everything is 128kbps online and i'd have said something like "if i have to live with this i want to understand better what it's doing to my track so i'm messing with the EQ on the 128kbps. i could be bodging details, but this was the gist of it
so this was a real thing, you were not making it up. confirmed. at the time i was not sure it was a real thing, because it was too hard to pull back, and because it was not something i would do. we were both wrong and right. think on the implications of that sir

I'm not much of a discord guy either
but when xlt was down I had some enjoyable chats with recycle and hyperflake on there. chatting directly seems to humanize someone rather quickly.
moimaid mane is even pretty normal on there. fleetmouse has a biting, sarcastic way with words that is more conducive to that environment as well.
Enjoyed and will stop by again when not mired in finishing so many video games
P.S. hot take: 128kps is noticeably worse for shizzle, but not so bad as to ruin a track. If you didn't check the bitrate you probably wouldn't even care.

recycle you were so quick on the fruit fly anecdote that now I'm almost certain you have a genuine fruit fly problem. Seal up your food real nice, and I hope you get through this.

i don't remember you mentioning soundcloud compression but even if you were "messing with the EQ on the 128kbps" you eq before the compression not after it

mostly what i'm interested in is how whatever mermaidman thinks went down on there (2 years ago?) fired off in my brain. like a sonar ping briefly illuminating the surrounding memory landscape before going dark and leaving me to try and untangle the details.
this morning, i find myself admiring the work of courtroom sketch artists. how they've so little time to get it down and you wind up with something that's actually so incredibly like the aforementioned memory. what you're paying attention to is in color -- and everything else gradually bleeds off into sketchy lines and then emptiness
the artist of that drawing is clearly of the skool where it's like "i try to make everyone i draw look good" because trump looks 40 years younger and less fat

while i roll my eyes at drawing trump kindly [even if it's because you draw everyone kindly] i still freaking admire the heck out of this skill. i imagine it must be the same rush i get out of recording a track -- just this manic rush, like "quick quick QUICK switch crey-pas color" and then a few minutes later you're pouring sweat and your art supplies are strewn all over in an exploded cloud and you have it down as in image and you're like *exhaling after sex*

my memory also includes a sort of perspective distortion where my mixer was stretched all about in a blobby manner and taking over most of the image, not just the color. which is how i remember things when my mixer has most of my attention
it's actually very non-euclidean kinda thing
