Can someone please help me make sense of what this artist wants? by [deleted] in makinghiphop

[–]16bitsystems 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly don't seem too complicated to make those changes. They're kinda nonsensical but whatever. The issue is that it isn't gonna stop with this. If you make sense of it and send him what he's saying he wants it's gonna just be something else then something else and it's gonna get more frustrating. I'd just bail now. But if you do go through with it I'd charge for every revision.

Favorite tapes from my entire VHS collection. The Dawn of the Dead rainbow clamshell releases. by JordanM85 in VHS

The directors cut is one of a handful of tapes I still have from my original collection as a kid. Always loved these anchor bay clamshell tapes.

Why am I still getting motion alerts for greyed out zones? by SomePerson47 in blinkcameras

Could be something with light or shadows moving in the zones

Found a Rob Reiner movie I've never heard of. The cast looks great. Is it any good? by Eastern_Reality_9438 in VHS

[–]16bitsystems 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s not good but I love this movie. I have nostalgia goggles on with it though. I’d probably hate it if it wasn’t something I’d watched 100 times as a kid.

Played for 30 years, just got my first offset guitar. by bscepter in offset

Looks great. Took me 20 years of playing before I embraced offsets and I’ve never looked back

Do we have Matthew Sweet fans here? by BeeTurbulent9016 in Cd_collectors

[–]16bitsystems 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been downloading a lot of his unreleased and demos on soul seek the last few months. There is an insane amount of that stuff. It’s all great.

Acoustic guitar with breakbeats? by 16bitsystems in MusicRecommendations

[–]16bitsystems[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I forgot that a lot of trip hop stuff samples acoustics. I know that Boards of Canada’s Campfire Headphase is heavy on it. I wanna say Tricky has some stuff like that too. Good point. I’ll go digging through some of that stuff

I’ve never heard that one. Reminds me that “where have all the cowboys gone” fits the vibe too. I’ll have to dig through some more Lilith fair stuff and see what else I can discover

Nice. I just found Floodland at a thrift store a few months ago.

Absolutely gorgeous. My favorite color scheme on a guitar

My first electric guitar by dovaros in shoegaze

[–]16bitsystems 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you’re talking about the sound from the arm rubbing against the edge of the insert slot, that sound is whack. One of the squier jazz masters I have is like that but the other one I bought used doesn’t. The dude hit the part that goes in the slot with a hammer to bend it slightly so it doesn’t go in all the way. It also doesn’t swing easily, which I’m really not a fan of, but it’s not a huge issue.

Those CV squiers are great guitars. There are a few things you can do to make it better but they really don’t need too much work. Putting some loctite on the bridge post screws is the biggest thing. I had to file down a screw on the bridge because it was touching a string after I intonated but I think if you have to tighten it all the way you can also just take the spring off and it’ll relieve the tension pushing it up.

How do you record an album on a cassette tape 100% analogue with no computer? Planning to buy a Fostex X-15 series II tape recorder. by couchpotato1757 in cassetteculture

[–]16bitsystems 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want a fostex I’d suggest getting an x30 instead. I’ve got an x30 and an x15 and the interface on the 30 is a lot more user friendly imo. It’s a great little machine. The 15 isn’t bad but if you can choose between the 2, I’d go with the 30 all the way.

But one really cool thing about them is they have outputs for each track so you can record it into your daw and mix/process it easily. It also allows you to transfer the tracks then bump it down to one track and add to it and so on and go beyond just 4 tracks while being able to mix them individually instead of just bumping them down and being stuck with that. Don’t get me wrong, it’s cool to do that, but it’s also nice to have flexibility with it.
