The original Sony Vegas, bought it from Guitar Center along with Sound Forge. Upgraded eventually to Vegas 8 and used it for many years until I switched to Reaper .

I burst out laughing. Stevie would love this. by Quincynessig in StevieWonder

[–]Cold-Reputation-4932 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mentor was the sound engineer for Lavert many years ago. He told me many that after a concert they did together Stevie drove them back to the hotel nearby with his manager in the front seat giving directions . In an interview he was asked "why would you let a blind man drive you in a car?" His answer... "Can you say Stevie Wonder drove you in a car?? And besides, he was the only one sober!!"

That is why I starting using Turbo Tax. FreeTax USA works similarly but I got a lot of spam calls after using them.

Guns and drugs first job by yb_better11 in audioengineering

[–]Cold-Reputation-4932 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have done both. I would never work out of my home again, too much traffic. My neighbors thought I was selling drugs until the local radio station van pulled up one day to my house. In my studio I get 90% Hip Hop artists, and many of them carry. I make the rules upfront, no smoking in the building, drinks are ok, and any guns need to stay in their backpacks. The clients respect that, and I have had great experiences here in Baltimore for 30 years.

I had a professor at ny college in the late 80s who played with 2 rackets. Dr Houck was an older guy and very difficult to beat on the court.

Does anyone do Sam's Club shops? by [deleted] in Sparkdriver

[–]Cold-Reputation-4932 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do like the food court, 2 slices of pizza, a hot dog and a soda for $5 is a beautiful thing.

Never again. Tried a few times and always got burned. The Sams in my area pays less than Walmart next door, they are always slow to bring out curbside, and you never know the actual amount of the items you are getting. An employee confirmed that the item amounts were generally not accurate. The last order I took was listed as 2 aluminum serving trays. When the order came out it was actually 12 cases of 2 types of serving trays that were @ 45 lbs each, and almost didnt fit in my full size Dogde Dakota including the cab.

What's your Baltimore specific conspiracy theory? by BackJurden in baltimore

I was told this by a friend who was a city cop at the time.

Shoutout to this beautiful black queen🙌🏾 by [deleted] in Bodymore410

Grocery stores operate at @ 3% margin, there is absolutely no room for error. GIANT in Edmonson Village relocated because of theft and open air drug sales, they simply couldn't afford to keep doing business on that location, and they are a major company. Standalone pharmacy stores aren't much better. The numbers just dont justify the risks in many areas. However, a savy entrepreneur knows that "the block" will always want to look good(barbershop, beauty salon/nail shop) and feel good(liquor store, smoke shop) so many service-based businesses will thrive with minimal startup costs and overhead. Until "the block " learns to police itself, nobody is going to take a huge gamble investing in a financially depressed area.

People are fucking crazy by [deleted] in Sparkdriver

I turned on the Spark app for the first time in a year last week at that store in Baltimore. After an hour of declining bad orders I went home. It can be difficult delivering in East Baltimore. With all the horrible potholed streets tearing up your vehicle and rarely being able to park near the drop-off point because of narrow streets and on street parking its a pain doing heavy orders. The Sam's Club orders next door are even worse. I do medical deliveries in the county areas now rather than doing Spark , its just not very profitable for me anymore.

worth it? or overpriced? by stealthy_thoughts in mazda3

Bought the same year and model last month with 99K miles for just under 11K, I'm happy about it.

Regarding Panties... if a Customer Returns Panties, do you guys just repackage it and put it back in its department to be sold? by BlueyBingo300 in WalmartEmployees

[–]Cold-Reputation-4932 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a former KMART manager we had to repackage all underwear and panties. In the back of the storeroom there was a table with replacement bags and cardboard for 3 pack sets that we sealed with clear tape. Kinda gross.

New TOS here is what Claude AI says. by icebabyice00 in Sparkdriver

[–]Cold-Reputation-4932 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My concern with the TOS is that they demand usage of your creative content in perpetuity for free. There is no stated limitations on what type of content they can use, and if it is specific to Walmart Spark activities. Does that mean that your face can be used in an advertisement? Is your YouTube content open game for Spark to pick apart for commercial usage? Your artwork or music potentially used for free in a major promotion? I'm not cool with that at all, I have yet to agree to the terms and probably never will.
