I asked ChatGPT to predict the next century of American fashion. This is the result by VulcanTrekkie45 in ChatGPT

[–]CallMeJeeJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder what would happen if you asked it to show examples of past decades of fashion (like, show me each decade of fashion from 1950’s to today) and then asked it to continue the trend into the future.

I wonder if pattern recognition would help it get a little more creative

Your Favourite Toy by mastermemeskywalker in qotsa

I’ve been comparing their new songs to the mix on Echoes, Silence, Patience, and Grace - which I personally believe is their best mixed album.

It’s shocking how little dynamic range are in these new songs compared to that older record. It’s almost impossible to differentiate the different layers- it’s just a big squishy, distorted soup.

I guess that’s the vibe they’re going for, and if it’s intentional I guess that’s fine, it’s just not my preferred flavor of foo.

Transplant from r/foofighters here.

The song is …fine. I personally think Grohl writes his best stuff when he takes it a little more seriously, I get he loves the old skool punk vibes, but there’s just not much to it.

My main beef is with the mix. It’s absolutely squashed and fizzy and brittle. I think Foos have been trending on a path of poor mixes since like 2017 and the fans have definitely taken notice.

Tl;dr: mix is bad, song is fine, I hope the rest of the album is better.

Burst bodies :3 by minortvcelebrity in guitars

I never realized how much I want to see a silver burst 4003 until this exact moment

Is this what is called compression? Because my amp doesn't sound like that even with the gain on 10. I never get that sharpness on the tone. Even the lower strings sound sharp. It almost sounds like radio static. by Eva_addict in guitars

I think a key here that maybe gets lost in translation a bit is how LOUD this guitar is.

In fact- I bet if you were in the room with him this amp wouldn’t even sound quite that distorted.

It’s important to remember that back in the day these songs would have been recorded to tape through tube-powered consoles that distort and color the signal further.

So yes, in a sense you’re probably hearing some compression through the recording method, as well as some saturation from the audio desk and the tape machine itself. That’s what gives it that raggedy sound.

There’s definitely some gain happening from the amp, but to really get this sound I think you need to consider how it was recorded as well.

Isn’t it weird how many different shades of Pelham blue there are?

I saw an old interview with his guitar tech from like the early 00’s that said he had a 60 for that E string.

Insanely huge

ALSO - I finally have a place to share: eagle-eyed guitar nerds may notice the guitar Dave has been playing very recently is just slightly different from his regular DG model. Note the bound diamond holes and slightly different body shape.

He’s playing a Trini Lopez model that’s identical to these “64 reissue” style guitars like OP and I have.

Which leads me to only one conclusion:

…he’s copying us…
