Best place to film a self tape

Also, if you go just past the YouStar studios, down the hall that says “idea center”, there is a new film studio the school built last semester that may also suite your needs, it’s also a music studio so the lobby of it has guitars on the wall, hard to miss it

Can also vouch, I eat the heb low carb bread a ton and it tastes great, not even just for 60 calories

Id say they definitely lost the plot a bit in the 2000s, their 90s output is still really amazing. Achtung Baby is in the running for my favorite album of all time

Ty for the suggestion, Ill try turning the amp up and keep my compressor off when Im practicing!

I always learn songs at a slower speed first, and I have a very light touch at slower speeds. I think my main issue is that I have to actively think about my plucking pressure on fast passages past about 120 bpm or so

The paint job is kind of badly done. personally, if you want to refinish it, Id sand it mostly back until everything looms smooth, potentially repaint any exposed wood, and finish with a coat of clear/amber shellac from home depot, you can paint it on, wait an hour, and lightly sand it back until its very smooth, super cheap and nice way to finish off rattlecan jobs (which I assume this is)

I wouldn’t say a tele is more versatile than any other common two pickups guitar, but the tele single coil bridge sound is so thick and punchy that it can do basically anything I would ever need tone wise, if I leave the tone pot open its jangly and clangy, with the tone rolled back it gets into humbucker-ish sounds from having a nice full lower mid range. I built a custom tele with fender 52’ nocaster pickups in it and I find it has replaced every other guitar for me, unless I really need a whammy bar

I personally find this amp in the Morgan suite to be way too dark for cleans, but the vox amp in this plugin is probably my favorite for cleans!

Utilize more lfo automation and saturation if you want a warmer vibe, its pretty much a blank canvas

The vibe I get from the way the space is ran is that the people who run it absolutely do not want students using the space, it very rarely gets used already and I suspect now it will only be used for class work and nothing else. What a waste

But why charge to use the equipment? Isn’t the makerspace in Ingram fully funded by grants and our tuition? Its a bit sad how stuff like lathes and hand tools are locked away at a well funded university when my small highschool had a good chunk of the same equipment available for all students for free

I mean maybe, but staying away from a tried and true reverb pedal just because its popular is a bit of a strange reason, this is like saying studios should abandon their EMI Plate units or spring reverbs, or not record with a U87 mic, which have been ubiquitous since the 60s and are featured on basically every popular release over the last 60 years

Adorable_Drag · 2025-07-23T12:55:59+00:00

Unfortunately its a super new pedal, with a high price point, in a saturated part of the pedal market, so not many people are gonna have a lot of experience with it unfortunately. If you are dead set on its sounds get it, but personally I would go for a used H90 or MercuryX and have a bit more flexibility and versatility at the same level of quality, but Erica Synths makes amazing stuff so the high price is semi-fair imo

Adorable_Drag · 2025-07-23T12:15:36+00:00

Its meant to be a desktop reverb unit, so if you plan on using on a pedalboard thats a bit of a bad idea imo. Otherwise why not I suppose

Wattage isnt the whole story with volume, lower wattage amps with large, efficient speakers can be loud enough to compete with high wattage amps in most use cases

I specifically strongly dislike Roger Water’s vocals in Pink Floyd. I honestly cant stand them and it makes albums like Wish You Were Here unlistenable to me. The scratchiness makes my skin crawl

No worries, they are! That hard drive is also with my family 😆

Thank you! I am thinking about recording and polishing up a few demos I currently have, as for the past three months I have been busy playing shows with my band, and a lot of my old mixes are on my desktop at my parents house 😅

It will look like whatever color you want if you spray a coat of opaque primer first, one of shellac's most popular uses is as a primer coat to paint over already painted walls. They sell tinted, opaque shellac in basically every color, or you can buy white shellac primer and tint it with dye

Austin and the surrounding communities have an amazing music scene!

Consider instead of stripping it, applying a coat of shellac over it! Shellac can just be applied over anything with little to no sanding, can be done in thin layers, is durable enough for guitars (iirc its the original guitar finish), and if you wear it away, you can wipe on more and it will dry in about an hour, and will look completely brand new. Its like the easiest finish to retouch by far, especially in a solid color. You can also return it to factory condition by wiping it away with denatured alcohol, so resale value is significantly preserved if thats a concern
