I've been recording some percussion in my room for film projects and I'm currently using a budget stereo omni large diaphragm condenser. My computer is audible in the hot mic so I'm wondering if I'd have less room noise with a different mic that I can use to close mic things like blocks, shakers, castanets, guiros, triangles, chimes, tambs, etc. I'm currently about 6 feet away from the PC but it's still loud. Would something simple like an SM57 or something like a Beyerdynamic M201 be a viable alternative for this?
Is this something specialists are concerned about?

I already graduated university so I’m not looking to go back. I do have musical experience having played violin for a decade throughout grade school and in many orchestras.
I’m now 23 and I’m wondering if one day I can get to a point where I can write classical-style music for orchestra that sounds good if I get a piano teacher and a composition teacher for private lessons in both and study all the theory, orchestration, and arrangement I can both through their guidance and my own time investment. Of course, not quickly, but I mean in the span of many years or over a decade.
Hey y'all! I'm on a burner(-ish) account, but I made an orchestration of Oblivion today and I'd love for y'all to check it out!
https://youtu.be/ubHePeBd42M
I started making orchestrations of songs I like a few days ago and today I made Oblivion!
There's no ulterior motive, I just want to share them with the world! I make ZERO money off of any of my arrangements.
Any feedback is greatly appreciated, but remember I am a human being with feelings :)
Lately, I've seen most vendors are offering their own solutions to automate and orchestrate their network kit. Usually cloud/portal based solutions that talk to the API on the devices. Sometimes requiring some kind of on-prem component, but more often than not totally cloud based.
My question is, I see a lot of chatter here all the time about how it's time to learn devops skills, and if you're planning to work in the field for another 20 years, you had better hop on that devops bandwaggon and become a coder, or you'll soon be out of work.
But... aren't these packaged and sold products for automation and orchestration going to most commonly solve all of the problems that automation solves, but require a much lower total cost of ownership?
At the end of the day, buying and using this product will offer all the same benefits of having a full time developer team maintaining open source products that have been modified to manage network kit.
Maybe I'm being incredibly short sighted, but I see the cost of that only making sense for "hyper scalers" which 99% of organizations don't fall into that category (far from it!)
Thoughts?
There’s too much sax and violins.
Hello Ponderers!
I didn't really want to post this, but I'm just dying to share my orchestration with you all.
Here is the link to the audio.
Three days ago I was listening to Edge of the World Pt. 2 in the car and I had the crazy idea to make an orchestral arrangement of the song. This is my first orchestral arrangement.
This song means so much to me and I'm so happy to share it with you all! Any feedback is appreciated, but please remember that I'm a human being with feelings.
(by the way, this is a burner account since I want my real account to remain anonymous)
Ah I'm so nervous, but please enjoy!! :)
I'm looking for something in which I can pretty quickly spin up a map, with a grid, and move some tokens around.
I know there are tools like Roll20, however it feels very heavy to me. We play over Discord with D&D Beyond as sort of a bedrock of rolling and game management, so really all I'm looking to do is share my screen and move the players around accordingly to be able to display where the enemies are and where the players are.
I'm not super interested in moving everyone to Roll20, I was just hoping to find something minimal, it doesn't have to track stats, or turn structure, or initiative, or anything. I just need a simple tool to help visualize combat for my players.
This something I've been toying with for awhile but the idea was to find a middle ground between verse-chorus and Sonata Form. Hope you all enjoy and would love to hear thoughts/feedback!

Hello SysAdmin'rs!
I'm currently working a position on a "DevOps" team, responsible for several aspects of our business IP and product code. On this team, we support a large group of developers, QA staff, and project engineers, and as a result we ensure these staff members have the tools and environments available to do their jobs. In the past this meant manually building out server environments for local/load testing of software. Over the years, we've tightened up our code pipelines and automated a lot of the testing processes these end users leverage. Now we are turning inward and identifying which of our toolsets need to be transitioned to leverage configuration- and infrastructure-as-code.
Recently, I've been tasked with developing our disaster recovery processes. Our team still maintains some "sysadmin-y" type systems, but only what's tangential to our user base. Since we're more DevOps than sysadmin, we don't handle stuff like Exchange, AD, DNS, and all the other pieces an IT Infrastructure group would. But we do handle some backup systems, some hypervisors, SQL Servers, and a local Azure DevOps instance. My project includes securing our relevant data via backups, building out our environment configurations via Ansible, and environment buildouts via Terraform. The goal is to document and automate as much as possible, under the assumption that none of the existing infrastructure we maintain on premise will be available during a disaster; everything could be recovered to the cloud.
For those people who deal more with DevOps, are there any tools you leverage to orchestrate your disaster recovery, from securing data to eventual environment builds? I've got a list of systems and tasks to cover, and each one can be handled discretely, but I'm wondering if anyone makes use of tools like Cohesity, Veeam DR Orchestrator, Zerto, Veritas, etc., to aid in recovery orchestration? How have your experiences been with the products you leverage?
If you don't make use of orchestrators, what is your process for minimizing manual involvement with your environment recoveries?
Any discussion the community can engage in would be extremely enlightening. Thank you!
My previous thread asking for suggestions for more 20th century music beyond the popular big 3: https://www.reddit.com/r/classicalmusic/comments/o3stvb/exploring_beyond_the_second_viennese_school_of/
That thread was super helpful and I appreciate all the suggestions.
Of all the music from the second Viennese school Webern's two cantatas and the orchestra pieces he has with voices were my favorite. To me the serial/atonal orchestration combining with the singing is just stunning, beautiful, haunting, moody, etc.
Lieder is also one of my favorite subgenres in general so this might be why I've connected to those pieces from him so much.
So if anyone has similar suggestions, I'd love to hear them!
StrongNode is modernizing edge computing by fusing it with blockchain technology. With an on demand nodes-as-a-service model, each new user who connects will improve the strength and latency of the network for the community and themselves, all while making passive income.
What is edge computing? It’s the computing that takes place at the “edge,” away from traditional cloud data centers. Edge devices, like a Tesla vehicle or an Amazon Alexa, make computing decisions on their own, without having to talk to centralized networks. It’s the future of network infrastructure and crucial to the advancement of 5G and the Internet of Things. The problem is that edge computing in its current state is not particularly secure, nor will it be efficient enough for the future.
StrongNode is solving that problem by moving apps and data away from centralized locations and closer to the end user, creating an on demand network that is faster and more secure. Developers, who would otherwise have to self-run full blockchain nodes (a very slow and costly endeavor), will have access to nodes that can be spun up, scaled, optimized, and configured on demand. These nodes will also eventually make use of the untapped computing power of CPU/GPU, network bandwidth, and data storage from things like phones and desktop computers. Users who run a node on their devices and/or stake tokens can make extra income.
StrongNode will also serve as a business incubation platform and already has a few exciting projects in the works, including OGLife, which is a gaming and streaming platform focused on gamers who are seniors, retirees, or veterans.
StrongNode will solve some of the biggest problems and inefficiencies of traditional systems by providing the infrastructure that will decentralize data and move it outwards to edge devices. This decentralized approach will improve latency and security and lay the foundation for increased scalability.
A new website is currently in the works that will more accurately represent the professionalism and and experience of the team.

I posted a few weeks ago about being open to recording bass for anyone, any song, any style (offer still stands, hit me up!) Another thing I'd really love to do is metal orchestrations. Stuff like Septicflesh, Carach Angren, Fleshgod Apocalypse, Wintersun, Epica, etc. It's something I've studied a lot, but haven't had a whole lot of practice doing, so I'm looking to get some experience with it. I have a degree in jazz composition, but as you can imagine, that didn't entail a whole lot of arranging/orchestrating for metal (though I did learn a lot of useful things!) I've been taking orchestration lessons with Francesco Ferrini from Fleshgod Apocalypse for over a year now, but like I said, I haven't been able to practice adding orchestrations to metal songs. I arranged strings for a friend of mine's prog metal EP, but he wrote a general string pad and I just wrote it out for each individual instrument, adding a few harmonies and countermines; so I wasn't really creating original material there. I'm open to any style of metal!
ETA: I use Spitfire Studio Orchestra, if anyone was wondering.

Thank you everyone for your great questions. We greatly enjoyed it. Some of us will periodically check back on the thread. And we look forward to doing more technical discussions with the community.
Hi there,
After the great success we had with the Consensus protocol Team AMA (one of our most active r/dfinity threads ever), we would like to answer questions about Chain Key Technology.
It is very telling that in a project with many innovations we routinely call Chain Key technology a thing we are most proud of and describe it as "novel" and "breakthrough." Equally true is that its elegance can be lost in the shuffle so we want to take time to answer questions from the community.
To make it simpler, Chain Key technology is involves the following:
A. NIDKG
B. Single Key for the IC that certified single key per subnet
C. Protocol upgrades
D. Adding and removing nodes
E. Resumption & State sync
F. Extended Consensus orchestrating all of this

It was an apple with very limited memory, just one byte and everything crashed.
This is a pilot project on GCP
StrongNode is spearheading a new frontier in network infrastructure by fusing edge computing with blockchain technology. Edge computing is computing that happens away from large centralized servers and closer to the end user. Think of your router, any of your smart objects, or even a Tesla. These things don’t need to talk to centralized servers all the time to operate; they can mostly operate and talk to other devices on their own.
Edge computing is the future. Soon, most data will be able to completely bypass the cloud. However, it’s not without it flaws. Traditional edge computing has issues with security, scale, bandwidth, and distributing computing, among other things.
StrongNode’s goal is to improve upon traditional edge networking by putting it on the blockchain. Its network will operate on a variety of blockchains, giving it immense potential in scaleability. To add further value, developers will be able to quickly scale and run their businesses on the StrongNode network.
Many more exciting announcements about StrongNode are on the horizon and a new website will be released shortly. In the meantime, please check out our current website and read the litepaper.
