I can easily imagine how it went down. "Wow! I can do so much with so little!" "Everything you just generated is wasteful and meaningless." The right way is to encourage that enthusiasm and guide them toward doing more u

I suspect the lower stress of acceptance, even when it goes overboard in cases where the thing can actually be harmful, still leads to better outcomes. Stress is a well-documented factor in weight gain, for example. My covid 19 after years

"is seen as" x 4 By who? I'm pretty sure they still teach the difference between passive and active voice in school. Passive voice is great if you want to paint in broad strokes without naming names so people can't actua

I can see the others, but Ableton Live has M4L. You can do pretty much anything in it. Get a license for the full Max and you can do anything in it.
