There are some artforms in which people don't generally do anything great until they're 30.

 

[baboon2004]

visual arts maybe, because arriving at one's own style and eclipsing the 'copying' stage is such a tortuous process (much easier to knock out a few tunes at 130)? Van Gogh's legacy looks very different in 1883 (his dates are 1853-90)

Rodney Dangerfield's career only kicked in when he was nearly 60. Unfortunately, he could never get any respect. But he made a living!

 

[baboon2004]

No-one could make Back to School without the sage-like wisdom accrued from 65 years on Earth.

It's interesting to me when watching stuff from the 50s to the 80s how much older the leading roles in film and TV used to be. Also bands didn't have to be fuckable. Some really big acts were ugly as sin. Nowadays you have to start around 20~ and be gorgeous to even have a chance at the limelight.

I could be wrong here but I think many authors don't hit their stride (or their full pomp) until they're in their 30s.

Bald heads forgetful of their sins,
Old, learned, respectable bald heads
Edit and annotate the lines
That young men, tossing on their beds,
Rhymed out in love’s despair
To flatter beauty’s ignorant ear.

not sure much has changed tbh

That's right. Although getting to Berlin in time after I've just done a load of acid might prove a challenge. Maybe we should all descend en masse and demand yyaldrin and patty show us a good time

We all still on for Wednesday?

 

[pattycakes_]

Tickets bought. Confirmations needed

 

[luka]

Be careful. I will actually turn up.

 

[pattycakes_]

I'm counting on it!



Gonna be a night to remember!

 

[version]

Have DAWs made 130 the default tempo yet?

 

[pattycakes_]

Idk if yyaldrin's gonna make it tho he hasn't spoke to me since I said let's get some beers lol

Have DAWs made 130 the default tempo yet?

mine seems to be, but i guess renoise isn't exactly the trendiest DAW

 

[version]

FL was set to 140 (and perhaps still is) out of the box which is apparently why grime and dubstep ended up around that tempo.

 

[mvuent]

which do you use? DAW that is

 

[version]

FL, but I can't remember what the default settings were on the latest as I switched to a custom template as soon as I installed it.
