badposting is a comm where you post badly


This is not a !the_dunk_tank@hexbear.net alternative. This is not a !memes@hexbear.net alternative. This is a place for you to post your bad posts.

Ever had a really shitty bit idea? Joke you want to take way past the point of where it was funny? Want to feel like a stand-up comedy guy who's been bombing a set for the past 30 minutes straight and at this point is just saying shit to see if people react to it? Really bad pun? A homemade cringe concoction? A cognitohazard that you have birthed into this world and have an urge to spread like chain mail?


Rules:

  1. Do not post good posts.
    • Unauthorized goodposting is to be punished in the manner of commenting the phrase "GOOD post" followed by an emoji that has not yet been used in the thread
    • Use an emoticon/kaomoji/rule-three-abiding ASCII art if the rations run out
  2. This is not a comm where you direct people to other people's bad posts. This is a comm where you post badly.
  3. This rule intentionally left blank.
  4. If you're struck for rule 3, skill issue, not allowed to complain about it.

Code of Conduct applies just as much here as it does everywhere else. Technically, CoC violations are bad posts. On the other hand: L + ratio + get ~~better~~ worse material bozo

I love EDM, but there's a subset/trope of it that annoys the shit out of me. It's songs that rhythmically mute or go quiet along with the beat. It grates on my brain and makes me think there's something wrong with my speakers/headphones.

I can't find an immediate example, but it's usually in YouTuber channel intros or stock/royalty-free EDM songs.

EDIT: Wait this is c/badposting lmao.

Sidechain compression, aka ducking. Basically, a compressor is set up to increase compression levels (squashes the volume down while also making it more consistent) on everything but the kick drum when the kick drum is sounding. It’s actually used subtly in a lot of genres to give some energy to the kick and duck the low frequencies in other tracks so that the low end in the mix doesn’t get muddled by the kick. A lot of EDM producers/artists do take it to comical extremes.
