I think the worst development in gear is adding "try restarting it" to the list of troubleshooting steps when it's not working as expected (and on me forgetting that it's now very much a thing and probably has been for a long time).

mkay so I might finally be out of my bandless streak finally & playing drums for a local electronica/shoegazey outfit. Was thinking one of those roland sampler pads would prolly be a good fit for this and see them used for around $500. I have a couple fun af 80s drum brains that would be perfect for ...

I want to say if Shure is reading this: Charging $70-80 dollars for your standard non-shock/suspension microphone mount is fucking offensive. I have a 3d printer that was gifted to me that I have been too frightened to try to learn how to use that I'm going to break out JUST for this because I'm ...

A KSM32 came up as a BIN on ebay for < $300. Always wanted a second one for stereo use.

I really like ksm32s. be careful. there are a lot of fake Shure mics on eBay.


Took me long enough to test it but yeah we're good. Sounds exactly like my 25-30 year old one. Really feels like I got away ...

Ive used way fancier & much more expensive condenser mics but cant say any of them sounded so much better that I felt it was worth saving up my nickels. Probably dumb purchase as i am barely recording these ...

got some gift certificates and getting one of those Tama "fashion" hardware bags for minimal hardware setups and also a padded bag for mic stands.

Buying shit like this is boring and not much fun but the optimization part of it is kinda fun I guess.

I'm going to set up a Zoom R16 to record our rehearsals. I'll get bass straight from the amps DI, probably mic the guitar cabinet and get the vocals split from the mixer (somehow, haven't actually figured out where from).


Does it have Aux sends? Just use those on the vocal channel alone if you ...

Cut a new piece of foam for the bridge mute.

Great post. What did you use for the foam? How did you seal it to the mute?

I’ve got to do this - mine works except for the E and A strings, which I’ve adapted to, but I really need to fix this and don’t trust the local guys to do something like ...

STACKED.

Anyone interested in doing some snowboarding/skiing the days leading up or after HMU, tryna make plans now. There's a few decent ones in the area (at least by midwest standards)
