2008.12.21 06:15 Solar

Discussion of solar photovoltaic systems, modules, the solar energy business, solar power production, utility-scale, commercial rooftop, residential, off-grid systems and more. Solar photovoltaic technology is one of the great developments of the modern age. Improvements to design and cost reductions continue to take place. How efficient will it become? When will it become so affordable that it's accessible to everyone? How are other energy industries having an effect on solar pv?

2024.05.14 19:10 Vishnu3000 Proctitis - Queries

(20M) After spending almost 8 months of IBD and IBS related symptoms such as bloating and flatulence, loose stools (1 - 2 BM per day, rarely 3 - 4), urgency in the morning as soon as I wake up and rarely mucus in stools, I finally had my first colonoscopy done a few days ago and the report says " Mild Inflammation at the Rectum. Apthous Ulcers at the caecum. Diagnosed - Proctitis". Biopsies were not taken.
Now I'm currently on mesalamine suppositories 2g a day as prescribed by the GI. Started 3 days ago and now I feel so much better, with little to no symptoms. The doc assured that I would be fine soon but didn't clarify that whether my Proctitis is ulcerative or not (Most of the docs in India don't clearly discuss the problem with their patients). He advised to me to avoid certain foods and over spicy things, but I pretty much convinced myself that this is ulcerative Proctitis (shouldn't have googled too much). I am planning another visit to the clinic next week to discuss with the GI.
As a part of preparing for the worst, I am trying to learn a lot more about this stuff. I have a few questions like
  1. if I am on remission, how can I avoid flare ups in future ?
  2. Should I follow any diet and lifestyle changes to maintain the inflammation only in the rectum or is it out of our hands ?
  3. Is it okay to follow my workout routine and regular physical activities without any changes ?
All your Answers, suggestionsand related information (and a few words of reassurance 🥺 if possible) are welcome.

2024.05.14 19:10 Beneficial_Photo_639 First sourdough loaf

First sourdough loaf
I’m definitely a beginner to baking, so open to any suggestions! I used my own sourdough starter which i started about 3 months ago. I fed my starter about 10 hours before I used it in this recipe, and it was pretty bubbly and active. I used a recipe that called for a Dutch oven, but I don’t have one so I just placed a pan of water in my oven for the time the recipe called for the lid of the Dutch oven to be on. Temp was 500 for 20 minutes with water pan in oven, then 15-20 minutes at 475 no water pan. The crumb structure is a bit tight and it looks/feels a bit gummy. What can I do to improve?

2024.05.14 19:10 IrisTheButterfly Lupron suppression prior to transfer

While I wait for a response from my clinic, I am looking for info re Lupron 3.75 mg as a treatment for adenomyosis prior to transfer. I was panicked when I saw an approval from my insurance for a period of 6 months of this injection, when my doc originally said we would use three months absolute maximum after my successful egg retrieval (which hasn't happened yet). Is this generally because they want to cover the bases for the time period of 6 months so he doesn't have to get approval again later? I can't imagine this would be safe for anyone to take that long. I also don't want to pay for that many injections if I don't use it. I have adenomyosis (the extent of it is unknown until he analyzes my MRI) but I have no symptoms.
He did not say we would use Lupron during egg retrieval. He only mentioned using it in the months leading up to my transfer, one to three times max.
I've heard this shot is the devil's juice and I definitely don't want to take it any longer than absolutely necessary.

2024.05.14 19:09 I_AM_Himi Gym school memberships?

I’m home for the summer, and only need a 3 month membership. I keep finding that annual fees and joining fees are crazy expensive and not worth it for just 3 months. Are there any gyms in the WC area that don’t require a joining fee or aren’t ridiculously expensive? Do any offer student memberships?

2024.05.14 19:09 alpunjabi How do I tell my girlfriend (18F) that the way she texts annoys me (18M)?

I absolutely love my girlfriend to bits but ever since we met she texts in all caps and with too much energy (i know how ridiculous it sounds). For example, I was discussing my CV (resumé for Americans) and she replied with “WOOOOO CV OMG I STILL HAVENT EVEN GOTTEN A JOB YET TEHEHEHEHE I JUST CBA”, this should give you an idea on how she texts on a daily basis. At first I found it kinda cute and funny but only 3 months into our relationship it’s started to become very overwhelming and, weirdly, tiring to keep up with her energy. AGAIN, I want to reiterate that I love my girlfriend but I just want her tell her, without sounding rude, that I can’t keep up with her frantic, manic texting Also, my GF tends to text about serious things in an unserious way, e.g., we got on the topic of razors and she mentioned how she hasn’t changed hers in months like this: “DAMN I DONT THINK IVE CHANGED MINE IN LIKE A YEAR ICL HEHEHE LOL I CBA TBH” (gross btw) Pretty much, am I being a dick being hating how my girlfriend texts

2024.05.14 19:08 LostInTheBackwoods 10 years later and the fear never goes away

I was diagnosed with colorectal cancer in August 2014, so I'm coming up on 10 years. It was stage 2b, located in my transverse colon, and was all removed in an emergency surgery (I'd had a gigantic abscess and was in danger of becoming septic, had surgery to remove the abscess and my surgeon found the tumor, pretty scary to be frank). I saw an oncologist for multiple months before he finally decided that I didn't need to have chemo and was declared free of cancer in December 2014.
I have had routine checkups with an oncologist on at least a twice-a-year basis ever since, colonoscopies every two years, CT scans at least once a year, and blood tests multiple times a year as well. No sign of any further cancer.
But I'm still terrified.
I don't have insurance anymore because I can't afford it now. I make too much money for Medicaid but not enough to afford insurance. So my checkups are over. And recently I've been having symptoms nearly identical to what I had prior to my initial diagnosis--no visible bleeding, but constant gut discomfort, abdominal pain, and general feeling of malaise that just doesn't go away. I wonder if I'm paranoid or if I do have something to worry about.
I don't know what I'm asking for here. Just...empathy, I guess? Do any other survivors always--even after almost a decade--feel like you're just waiting for your number to be called again?

2024.05.14 19:08 No_Membership_119 Should I pursue an expensive Master's in Europe or explore other options in India?

Hi Reddit, I'm hoping to get some advice on my career path in finance.
M, 28
After graduating, I worked at Morgan Stanley for 3 years. I then decided to pursue an MBA and took a big leap by quitting my job and studying for the GMAT. Unfortunately, my score wasn't great (600), limiting my options for top/decent business schools. Now, I'm facing a 2-year career gap and some uncertainty. I'm currently pursuing CFA Level 1 (attempt 1 next week) and have the University of Luxembourg's Master's in Finance program (2 years) lined up. However, the program is quite expensive (60-75 lakhs). And I haven't been successful with applications outside of this.
I'm feeling torn about the Master's program. It's a big investment. The advice I'm getting about the European job market for finance is mixed. But, the above program, I am told, offers a 6 month paid internship. Assistance will be provided by the school
Here's my question: Given my background (3 years at Morgan Stanley, average/redundant GMAT score, pursuing CFA Level 1), what other options do I need to break back into the finance industry, ideally in a research-oriented role?
Would the cost of the Luxembourg program be a worthwhile investment, or are there alternative paths I should consider?
Thanks in advance for any insights!
Also, I am aware, I messed up. Big time. I should have done a better job researching everything before quitting etc. Lesson learnt.

2024.05.14 19:08 dawggrad19 Career growth vs comfort ?

Currently in a dilemma of pursuing higher pay/more seniority or staying put.
My job is 100 percent remote , compensation is a bit over 6 figures and work/life balance is pretty good ( as long as I get my work done my manager doesn't care what I do ) . One side of me is saying what's the point ? Why add extra stress to my life if I don't need it ? The other side of me really thinks I need to pursue more responsibility and climb the corporate ladder . I really wouldn't have cared too much about titles and getting paid a little extra about a promotion but it's starting to get to me . I've had 3 conversations about being promoted, each time I accomplished what was the ask for being promoted to that next level. And each time it's always something else when we talk about it . I wouldn't be as butt hurt if no one gets promoted to the next level but I see all across the organization where people in similar positions get promoted within the time frame I've been here .
I live in a LCOL area , 27 years old , save around 40-60 percent of my income each month and I have a sizable inheritance coming my way. I should be content but I'm not . Jobs postings on LinkedIn for true remote roles are few and far between and pay scale isn't too far off from what I make . Anyone else going through something similar ?

2024.05.14 19:08 izzyzak117 500 hours with the new LG 39” UltraWide (39GS95QE-B)

500 hours with the new LG 39” UltraWide (39GS95QE-B)
I made a post here previously about this monitor when I initially purchased it so I wanted to provide an update and my plans to run this thing into the ground.
What I love still:
  • The size
  • The resolution (yes 3440 x 1440 at 39”)
  • The semi gloss screen coating
  • 240Hz and perfect pixel response
What I have started to see as silly:
  • The lack of KVM switch became annoying as I started to find a reason to have one- its $1500.
  • All HDR color modes look absolutely disgusting without calibration
  • HDR benefits are hit or miss
I find this panel applies a sickly inaccurate green cast to many colors in HDR. I have heard I am not the only one with this issue. Luckily, in SDR using RGB mode the colors are brilliant and look correct. But thats the problem, that’s SDR. I have a Stream Deck setup with an HDR toggle now such that I can get good Windows OS color and HDR performance in games as in most games that green sickly tint is not noticeable at all. I’m sure if I calibrated the display the HDR color issues may be drastically reduced as well.
Other than that…
I didn’t think I could grow to like less PPI and less resolution. I have found that my productivity use of this monitor has changed a bit, and things are easy to do now. The gaming benefits are just impossible to ignore. Sitting about 2.5-3 feet away with it dead center I couldn’t tell if it was 4K or not unless I really squinted for a second. In productivity work, on the desktop, text is terrible in Windows and excellent on macOS- I work on macOS so I get the luxury of not caring about that.
I’ve had this monitor for just over 3 months, already 500 hours of use. I use it about 6 hours a day for productivity (I WFH) when working at my desk, another 2-6 hours a day gaming on average. Pixel refresher cycles are usually ran twice a day automatically when the monitor goes to sleep.
I am kind of a crazy person:
  • Taskbars and menus are minimized always
  • No full screen or window snapping
  • I no longer use any window organization method, they’re a pile and I generally do a few things to keep them piled easily and accessibly but never the same way, this destroys the chance of burnin.
  • I have 40+ wallpapers and they cycle every 3 minutes or so on all devices connected to it
  • Monitor auto-sleeps in a minute
  • If I want to keep the PC on I have a Stream Deck button to open a YT video of a 21:9 nature photogrpahy video in full screen- this ensures no burnin
  • I change dark to light themes often
  • I change browser themes to other color themes often
Monitor settings for daily use:
Gaming: SDR with RGB color settings, Peak Brightness set to “High”, Brightness set to 90 OR HDR with VESA color settings, Peak Brightness set to “High”, Brightness set to 100.
Productivity: SDR with RGB color settings, Peak Brightness set to Low, and Brightness set to 80.
I want to see how long I can keep this thing on doing what I do before I see a color difference or brightness difference. I think I’ll be at 2000 hours before EOY. More updates to come!

So I'm completely new to trading and have absolutely no idea what any of it means. I signed up to Robinhood about a month ago and just as a test run, I put a small amount of money in, lost a bunch of it, then put the remainder into 50 shares of AMC for ~$3 each cos they were cheap and now it's spiking and I have no idea why. Could someone explain to me 1. What's happening?, 2. What should I do now?
Sorry for being a complete noob but I've seen people talking about it on social media but I don't understand the terminology so could someone please give me a crash course on what's happening?

2024.05.14 19:08 420_gaylord_420 I Want My Dad to Die

This is the 17th day my dad has been on hospice. Metastatic cancer - he lost the ability to eat solid foods months ago. Just after starting hospice, he lost the ability to even absorb the nutrients from the artificial feeding. A few days after that, he stopped getting water too. It's been about a week since he's spoken.
For four days, it was nothing but the "death rattle"--non-stop, loud gurgling. Yesterday, he barely breathed at all. That is, when he's not screaming in agony from the slightest touch, which makes changing and cleaning him even worse than it already would be.
This morning, screaming with every breath. We have to give him morphine every hour, day and night, on top of the two fentanyl patches. There is not enough medication in this world to free him from pain.
I haven't gone home (I am stuck four hours away with no car) for these 17 days. Sleeping on the couch within earshot of him. And all I can hear is his strained breathing and the roar of the O2 machine. For all this time, he's been "close," but he just doesn't die.
As far as I'm concerned, my dad has been gone for days. Now I just want him to die. I want to go home. I want to go back to work. I want to stop seeing my grandparents and step mom every second of every day for days on end. Whenever he stops breathing for 30 seconds I feel a wave of hope that it's all over, and then a wave of dread when the next breath comes. How many days do I have to do this? Sitting here, turning him, waiting for him to die with people I don't even like? I feel guilty but also I don't - I just want to go.

2024.05.14 19:08 HurQlez Amateur thought: What can Animation do to be worth an Exec's time and money?

**This is something that has been shaking in my head that I wanted to bring up this discussion. I have no experience in this field so I am not using this as a declaration. Anyone who is in the know that needs to correct me of my reasons, please do.**
I have seen a lot of animated shows being cancelled, even if the show gets good viewership and reviews. I have seen animated movies that either don't get picked up or get released with no marketing or worse, made "generic". While live action production can have similar problems of mismanagement or getting original content or marketing, it seems animation gets it worse.
I tired to look at it from the perspective of the Studio. Let's see if these are accurate:
This one is the easiest to see from the studio perspective. We all wish studios give us more original content and not cancel the ones that make it. But to the studio's POV, original content is not profitable. It is common for us to veer more towards stuff we have seen, existing IP, than to something we have never seen before. Even when we do make the original content popular, it takes a while for us to come around to it. So instead of waiting for original content to get its audience, they don't advertise it as much, or don't even bother producing it in the first place - Unless it has a well-known actor voicing or even producing it.
In live action, an actor can act their way into a good performance and generate popularity/revenue. With that, the studio would almost always demand a live-action actor to be the star of an animation to generate the same results. But the studio never realize that while a live-action actor can VOICE a good performance, the animators are what gives the actor that good VISUAL performance. This has been a constant fight with studios and their salary. Because they are not roles the studio can show off like a director or the actor, and that there can be many animators, the studio thinks anybody can animate.
While a live-action shooting can take around 3-4 months, animating can take much longer; even longer than that if it is a movie. Even if the animation is 3D, drawing frame by frame can be time consuming. Sure a TV eam can do more than one episode at a time, but that is still a long time for the studio to wait. And if the studio has notes, a whole scene would have to be drawn again. The amount of FPS to maintain a quality animation can vary, but even if they hire a lot of animators to meet a deadline, they won't pay them that much and expect them to work longer hours a day. No wonder the studios focus on deadline than quality that they let people overseas animate without standards, or use AI to do the animation instead.
So what are ways animation can be worth it to the studios? Much of it involves social media. And most of it takes place BEFORE the animation phase. Here are my solutions:
No matter if it is original content or existing IP, the creative team needs to prove to the studios that the people want to watch what they create. So why not use social media like youtube or even TikTok to share bits and pieces of the project even before the storyboard phase. They can show off the pitch video, the scenery, the people, and if possible, animate stills of characters interacting and using the voice actors to voice them. It would show off their personality, their interactions, and get the people interested in the project. Even sell merch to show the studio that people will buy it. Depending on how much the team can reveal, it at least gets people talking about something they want to see more of. And the studio will listen.
We know directors and voice actors, but very few know animators. This one can be tricky, since the Director is usually the one who does the first animation and style, and voice actors have time to voice different projects. But promoting the animators would give them fans. And that would mean they are in high demand and be paid better. So to get them more respected by the studio, they would have to present themselves. Show off their abilities. See how their personalities are shown in the animation they work on. And in return, get more attention in animation projects.
This one is the most obvious and the most important one of all. Being in the union makes the statement about how an animator should be treated and paid. Even if the standards the union demands only raise the bar a tiny bit, it is still an important step. Even if the studio uses overseas animators, the union is there for anyone to hire and make a quality animation that can get the best results.
**Like I said, all random thoughts.**

2024.05.14 19:07 Mercer-General Can this be done for $8500 ?

Can this be done for $8500 ?
My friends neighbor got a bid to repair the roof framing, shingles, wall and siding for $6,500.
The guy dose not have insurance. He is retired and paid home off years ago. But low SS income.
Price dose not include interior, sheetrock, flooring, painting.
He also got couple other bids in the $25,000 area.
This happened 3 months ago. I still see the house in same disrepair state, but now it has blue tarps everywhere.
To me it seams to be very low for this job ?? Anyone can guess??

2024.05.14 19:06 Flimsy-Chemistry-993 Sana nakipagbreak ka na lang bago ka naghanap ng iba

I'm in so much pain right now. My ex broke up with me 3 months ago. Last night, I learned that he started seeing someone while we were still together. So all those times you told me you were asleep already, kinikita mo na pala siya. That time you said you were going hiking with friends, siya na pala kasama mo.
Now it all makes sense why he was treating me so bad on the last 2 months of our relationship. It was so bad that I just simply walked away when he told me he wanted to break up with me because we've been fighting a lot. Hindi na ako nag-protest. I was so tired from the relationship so I just let him go. At that time, I only had my dignity left and what little self-respect I had. You haven't heard from me since. I cut you off from my life and pretended you were dead.
M, you didn't need to do that. You could have been honest with me right off the bat. Sana sinabi mo na lang agad na ayaw mo na sa akin and I would have respected that. You didn't have to betray me or treat me like shit. You emotionally abused me so bad, I thought I was going crazy. I loved you unconditionally and wholeheartedly. I accepted all your flaws and forgave your shortcomings. Even when you lied to me about your age, tinanggap kita because of how much I loved you.
Are you happy now? Kontento ka na ba? I hope things workout for you. I prayed to God na sana wag ka nang babalik sa buhay ko kasi you never deserved me in the first place. I gave us a chance and hindi mo naman ako pinahalagahan.

2024.05.14 19:05 MareBear89 Belly tight and uncomfortable 3dpo.

I know it's not pregnancy related but I've been having annoying, uncomfortable/painful tightness in my lower stomach and back along with tailbone pain since yesterday. We've been ttc for almost a year now (minus the 2 months we took a break) and I've never had pain like this before. Anyone else have this happen or have any clue why?

2024.05.14 19:05 alpunjabi AITA For being irritated at my girlfriend because of how she texts

AITA For being annoyed at how my girlfriend texts
I (18) absolutely love my girlfriend (18) to bits but ever since we met she texts in all caps and with too much energy (i know how ridiculous it sounds). For example, I was discussing my CV (resumé for Americans) and she replied with “WOOOOO CV OMG I STILL HAVENT EVEN GOTTEN A JOB YET TEHEHEHEHE I JUST CBA”, this should give you an idea on how she texts on a daily basis. At first I found it kinda cute and funny but only 3 months into our relationship it’s started to become very overwhelming and, weirdly, tiring to keep up with her energy. AGAIN, I want to reiterate that I love my girlfriend but I just want her tell her, without sounding rude, that I can’t keep up with her frantic, manic texting Also, my GF tends to text about serious things in an unserious way, e.g., we got on the topic of razors and she mentioned how she hasn’t changed hers in months like this: “DAMN I DONT THINK IVE CHANGED MINE IN LIKE A YEAR ICL HEHEHE LOL I CBA TBH” (gross btw) Pretty much, AITA for finding text on a screen overwhelming and irritating

2024.05.14 19:05 Traditional-Apple168 Second Take at a Subclass Fantasy

Im bored. Heres a silly idea to dislike.

Subclass Themes

With the darkness subclasses being based on mental states, I took the ideology of the id, ego, and super ego to be the darkness elements. I took the ego to be stasis as you are forcing your will into reality and overriding the will of others. I understood the superego to be strand. Understanding the world around you, the complexity and the conections of it all, the restrictions and necessity of reality. That leaves the id. Desires and instinct. Fantasies and dreams. Compulsions.
Another theme that had to be included was that of opposition. Strand is about creation and void is about absence. Solar and stasis, while much more complicated than fire and ice, do oppose each other in more meaningful ways. Arc is all about mobility, energy, adapting, and change. The opposite would be complacency. Sloth. Giving in to your desires.
The last requirements would be to have anti-barrier perks and anti-overload perks. This was the simplest and could be flavored in any which way, with anti barrier having some sort of buff, and anti overload having some sort of debuff.
With this I introduce Soul, a form of darkness that takes the shape of a dark red liquid. Names could all use some work.

Verbs

Seethe (Debuff): Soul seeps into enemies minds revealing their anger. Form of cc that has non-boss units attack nearby enemies. Combatants affected cant discern between friend or foe. Enemy guardians afflicted have friendly fire enabled and increased recoil. Reticles will slowly shift towards allies within ? meters.
Despair (Debuff): Soul clouds your head. Prevents any health gain during affliction. Enemies take damage over time. Ends with a burst of damage. Strong against overloads.
Wrath (Buff): Release your inner fury. Weapons are empowered dealing increased damage based on targets missing health. Capped at 35%. Strong against Barrier champions.
Envy (Buff): Enemy accuracy towards buffed targets is reduced based on distance. Closer enemies are more likely to miss shots. Melee damage received is reduced.
Harrow (Class Pickup): Soul matter coalesces on the floor in large red pools after killing debuffed targets. Enemies standing on Harrow take minor damage. Interacts with aspects and fragments. Armor charge works off time spent on Harrow.

Disclaimer

I was more focused on ideology. I have yet to refine ideas but aspects, melees, and supers allow for a lot of creativity of which i am lacking atm. If you have any suggestions, changes or anything let me know. Change the verbs or the whole damn thing, just want any sort of discussion. No its not serious nor do I think there is any chance of this.

Hunter

Mind Tap (Melee): Throw an ice pick. Headshots cause targets to Seethe. Bodyshots cause Despair.
Merciless (Aspect): While Wrathful heal for a very small portion of the damage dealt to Despairing targets. Despair will spread between close enemies.
Paranoia (Aspect): Dodging while standing on Harrow puddles lets the hunter dissolve into Soul matter becoming untargetable, gain heavy damage resist, and be able to move through units. While in Paranoia gain Wrathful. Gain 200% increased melee regen and movement speed. Offensive actions pull you out. Displayed as large waves moving inside.
Paint it Red (Aspect): Damaging Despairing targets releases Harrow. Has a short cooldown.
Hemophobia (Super): Explode into a massive puddle of Soul matter leaving Harrow around you. Does increased Harrow damage. Light attack throws ice picks that cause despair. Deals more damage to targets on Harrow. Heavy Attack dashes forward dealing light damage. Dodge refreshes on use.

Titan

Menacing Strike(Melee): Summon a massive maw from your hand inflicting Despair in a small aoe. Hits grant Wrath.
Unholy Soul (Aspect): Standing in Harrow puddles slowly provides health and Envy. Kills on Harrow refresh the duration and increase the size of the pool.
Terror (Aspect): Soul kills charge up a meter. When fully charged your next powered melee will deal 3x damage, have much more range, grant damage resistance, and grant Envy for a brief period. Melee charge is separate from the standard (think gunpowder gamble).
Finality (Aspect): Powered melee final blows while Wrathful refresh 90% of melee energy. Using your aerial move will slam down releasing Harrow and refilling active weapons. Costs melee energy.
Sorrow (Super): Whip around chains before tossing them at the target enemy. Enemy erupts in massive damage Despairing all nearby combatants and releasing Harrow. After a delay the target erupts again, taking damage based on the damage taken during the super.

Warlock

Dread (Melee): Shoot forward a cloud, raining and Despairing all enemies hit along the way. At max distance or on large targets the cloud lingers.
Agnosiophobia (Aspect): While grounded; press your air move to vanish, reappearing at a Harrow covered point of your choice. Emerging and departing causes a Despairing and Envious aoe. Large amounts of Harrow are released at the point that you left. Standing on Harrow gives you 100% grenade regen rate.
Mind Flayer (Aspect): Seething lasts longer on enemies. Seething enemies that die near you release parasites that travel to all unaffiliated enemies standing in connected Harrow.
Tides of War (Aspect): Activating melee will release a tsunami of Harrow in an aoe a bit larger than consecration. Enemies hit by the raging wave take massive damage and are Seethed. Wave leaves Harrow in its wake.
Beast Within (Super): Coat yourself in Soul Matter and emerge in a different form. A massive centipede with increased movement speed and trample damage. Light attack stops you, before lunging at enemies. Heavy attack is a massive charged leap. If charged all the way gain distance and release Harrow where you land.

Grenades

Harrow Grenade: Can bounce. On detonation releases Harrow. Enemies hit will leave Harrow in their wake.
Bunkering Grenade: Sticks to surfaces but not enemies. When deployed projects a ring. Allies standing within the ring gain Envy. Enemies within Despair.
Winding Grenade: On hitting an enemy or surface releases 3 bolts, quickly striking the nearest enemies in rage. Enemies hit Seethe.

2024.05.14 19:05 MattDarkPro Rekordbox 7 Intelligent playlist, what are the thoughts?

TLDR

Tried to play with the new "Cue Analysis" feature, does not seem to work for me. How has this new feature worked for you?

Small background

I started DJ'ing a month ago and have gotten used to setting up hot cues and working with them. I'd say I'm pretty confident in how rekordbox works at it's core.
Now, being an AI student, I was curious to see how well the "Cue Analysis" feature works in Rekordbox 7.
I bought Core to try it out, chucked all of my songs into the "CUE analysis playlist", boom done!

How it's been going for me

-- quoted from a conversation with someone --
So it's doing something weird, it's seemingly recognized my "A" cue point correctly, the start of the beat.
But every other cue is either in the wrong place or not something I would set ever
For reference, my normal cues:
https://imgur.com/a/eEhLEQv
A > Beat start / song start
E > Vocal start
B > 64 before first drop
F > 32 before first drop
C > 16 before first drop
G > drop
D > 32 before second drop
H > second drop
This is what the intelligent hot cue decided for me
https://imgur.com/a/Pz4uZ8k
A > Beat start
E > End of drop?
B > 16 before first drop
F > 16 before second drop
C > First drop
G > Second drop
D > After a pause in the song?
H > Also a random pause, but at the end?

What I've tried to 'fix' this

  1. Tried a smaller analysis playlist size (reduced it to 10 instead of 180)
  2. Made sure that in that smaller sample size, the hot cues were exactly right
  3. Tried a different song Exact same result

Question:

So, what I'm wondering is as follows: "How has this feature been working for others?"
Maybe it's just how my cues are set up, or the genre of music I play (Drum and Bass)?
