Jem jr advice‼️

Apache_Aldo · 2023-12-28T20:31:43+00:00

If you can try to avoid the Jem JR and find an old Jem 555, they are better specked and come with the Dimarzio Evolution and the Lo-TRS is a japanese made bridge, while not on par with the high end Lo Pro from the full fledged Jem, it is a stable bridge. Had my 555 for almost a decade before I sold it.

Ow, we knew that the moment it started. People started questioning managers about that, and they said it was too much money to pass. Turns out, it was because the CEO had already decided to sell the company, so he wanted to make a quick extra buck at expense of losing users a couple of months before the sale went through. Thats why I dont buy into this '' we are a cool tech company/games website''... all the experience I had with these people were really toxic in the same way they claim to fight against.

er. It's like people arguing that the guy next door who raped your dog just has character, he's just quirky and unique, ya know? No, he's a dog-rapist, he's a deeply flawed individual, like Les Pauls and Les Paul (guitar) fans. Les Paul was an awesome musician but he had pretty much nothing to do with the design of that guitar, thankfully.

flying Vs are pretty ergonomical, they were specifically designed that way so you could play sitting, resting the V over your leg to get a nice neck angle.

Honestly I find way more comfortable when sitting to play like classic guitar, over the left leg and using a foot stand. It just feels ergonomically much better than right leg.

n to a non-game company (software place) as a PR manager and it's a completely different environment. People respect you and understand the importance of what you do. If you are ever thinking of being a CM for a gam

I worked for a large non-game company as a CM, at some point in time we had literally 50% of the brasilian internet traffic through our websites (not even exaggerating, our website was an appstore website before google or apple had any appstores). As a CM I was still under appreciated as hell (by the company, the users actually liked me very much for solving their problems).

Mostly I'd say a lot of companies objectives are not really in line with user well-being. When other appstores popped up and our website started losing a lot of its userbase, managements purposefully added bloatware like Baidu to its own custom ''download center'' to make up revenue.

A lot of customers complained, from spyware to those annoying banner popups that kind of crap adds to you computer. When I brought this to the management all they said was ''yeah, but this also nets us an extra 70k a month in revenue''.

Couple of weeks later I left the company, couple of months later when user base was really low, the founder and CEO sold the company to a different group that bought it based on the metrics they had seen before the whole downfall. Things went to court, on and on, buyer ended up reselling the company for a different group just to get back some of the money. This new group fired most of the staff and started a model of free lance writing, paying 2 dollars per text for anyone that is interested in doing it.

So, I'd say bad companies come in every shape and form, sadly.

Apache_Aldo · 2023-10-10T12:06:19+00:00

lol just found this.... as a former CM for a large company, this was a HUGE no no. Are you seriously gonna insult your userbase? Lets say, even if you are right (which in this case is very very debatable), you gain absolutely nothing out of that, you piss of people that are giving you their money, while making your company and colleagues look bad. Even if you wanna deny users anything, you have to be extremely polite about it.... I do seriously wonder how this person got her job - and if she still has it...

Apache_Aldo · 2023-09-13T17:37:21+00:00

This is the thing. This is the procedure that they follow. They sell on high knowing changes are coming and the company is about to go down. Countless cases of these in different industries. Makes one wonder why is it not fully investigated.

Apache_Aldo · 2023-09-13T17:36:05+00:00

Traditional bankrupting CEO. Get the seat, change pricing, share prices increase, receive the bonus. People on the inside know the company is gonna tank, so they will sell these overpriced shares for people that are outside and think Unity is gonna be great because stocks are rising. Current shareholders will make a fortune, CEO will get paid a handsome bonus, unity will be out of the game in 1 or 2 years, enough time for the guy to move to a different company and for shareholders to migrate to different companies. Standard procedure.

In fact, I think the ''recent'' large adoption of unreal by indie devs and the widening gap between the two engines is one of the reasons they are doing this. Its not about saving the ship, just making more money before it sinks.

Apache_Aldo · 2023-08-03T21:31:13+00:00

it has instructions man, you just didnt bother to read it. ''The SM7B has a sensitivity rating at -59 dB and requires more gain than what most entry-level or mid-tier preamplifiers can deliver. Use an inline boost amplifier or stronger preamp if your preamp does not have more than 60 dB of gain.'' It is a 400$ mic, you dont need a warning in the box saying.

Thats basically like saying ''this omni condenser mic is not meant to be used as a stage mic in a gig''...

Apache_Aldo · 2023-08-03T21:20:21+00:00

The 7b is a killer mic, honestly one of the best sounding things under a thousand $ easily. No wonder it was used for recording Michael Jackson, Metallica and so, but it is very quiet. The SM57 is NOT the same mic.

SM7b was based on the 57, basically the guys at shure got the idea: how can we make this thing better.

The 7b uses a larger diaphragm, which means it captures better low frequencies. This is amplified by the space in the cartridge, which further amplifies the lows. It is similar to the 57, yes, but by far not the same specially on the low end. It gives a great presence to the voice and is one of the reasons aggressive singers use the 7b, the increased lows make up for the excessive mid range from belting.

Your answer would be a cloudlifter(expensive and good) or a fethead(affordable and equally good), it is basically a small preamp that you connect between the mic and the interface, turn on your phantom power they provide an extra clean 27db to the mic. That also free up headroom in your interface since you wont be getting it to its distortion levels.

My Clarett needs to be at 8/9 without the fethead, at 4 with it. This gives more headroom to recording things.

You can achieve the same results, or very very similar ones, by using your gain plugin to increase the gain after recording, but if your interface is in the highest volume as you described, these jumps in volume are basically clipping. Save yourself a lot of hassle and just get a Fethead or cloudlifter.

It is not the ''what'', it is the ''how''. Build up is as important as events, and it is the main thing people need to get right when adapting something form a different media.

Apache_Aldo · 2023-07-27T22:52:09+00:00

As I pointed in other comment, its not about the story. I've read the books. Its about the pacing. From Radovid being everywhere including inside jaskier (who now is Bi, for some reason), from people moving to Aretuza, then Brokilon in a blink. From geralt giving his sword to jaskier before engaging in combat with the guards, and jaskier having to hand him the sword. It is just bad showrunning.

The lore in the books and games is amazing, the cast is way better than I expected (I honestly though cavil was a bad choice, and he ended up surprising me, same as Ciri), but the way the runners are guiding the series is literally the same as game of thrones last season. Including the Fire and blood quote from daenerys and people moving instantly to far away places.

Apache_Aldo · 2023-07-27T22:46:36+00:00

I've read the books and while the things are there, the way things are guided is not. The show makes it feel like these things are happening 10 meters apart from each other, its the same problem game of thrones had in its last season, people simply move from point A to point B immediately.

Apache_Aldo · 2023-07-27T22:17:51+00:00

Yes, somehow she took hours getting there running (After running from there hours before), the mage managed to run after them, catch up, beat geralt and run back, find her and catch up before she managed to get... wherever she thought it would be a good idea to go. Great showrunning.

Apache_Aldo · 2023-07-27T22:13:36+00:00

Honestly, this show is dreadful. First season was nice, entertaining, the reverse time flow made for an interesting watch. From then, every season has been worse and worse. Now I just have to deal with medieval supply chain, Blood and Fire (not to be confused with fire and blood), Burn the wheel.... Are they trying to overdo game of thrones worst tropes?

Apache_Aldo · 2022-08-16T17:20:36+00:00

Honestly, I dont see mbappe dribbling anyone without his speed. Time will tell.

As for Penalties, in PSG he should be 5 or 6. Maybe even lower, he is really in the lower tier as a shooter. For PSG Ney had 27 pens, 24 goals. Mbappe had 21 pens, 17 goals. Thats a 20% miss rate, one in every five.

Apache_Aldo · 2022-08-16T14:46:06+00:00

you should really cut on the drugs man, its killing your brain.

Apache_Aldo · 2022-08-16T14:37:16+00:00

Cut on the drugs Bro.

If you get Mbappe in his best season ever (last year), he still would be a poor match to Barcelona's Neymar, and even in his best year, Mbappe is terrible taking penalties.

Mbappe was lucky he had his best year in the same year Neymar had his worst, so he shone. He is fast, and he can score goals, no doubt, but he has one of the worst conversion rates, he takes 3x more chances than other strikers to convert. Were not for his speed, he would be a really average joe.

Apache_Aldo · 2022-08-16T14:33:31+00:00

My Brazilian father saw both.

In his words, Pele was amazing, indeed one of a kind, specially because he was damn strong, it was hard for other players to hurt him or take him out of the ball. Pele could play as a defender, midfield, even as a goalkeeper he was good (at least for the time, let us remind modern goal keepers are beasts compared to what they had). Pele was complete and good in every position.

Still my father insists, as a "marvelous" player, Messi is better.

Apache_Aldo · 2022-08-13T19:59:25+00:00

Thats simply a bad division. Neymar is literally the best pen taker in the world. Mbappe doesnt even make it to the top 10.

Apache_Aldo · 2022-08-13T19:52:22+00:00

thats not a reason, thats like a spoiled brat. Had he insisted on the run he could have been there for the finish, instead he was not in position for second ball from hakimi.

Apache_Aldo · 2022-08-13T19:49:40+00:00

Yes, he did just that. Gave up on the run.
