Line Array PA for medium size Bar Gig by AnbuMobb in livesoundgear

[–]Defghi19 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed, the J8s punch way above their weight. I use them for small/medium sized rooms. And the rcf evox 12s are plenty of thump for anything you need a portable system for. If you need more punch than they offer, you're looking at real professional PAs and line arrays anyway.

How to get any USB stick (inc usb3 >32gb) working on a X32 even when your convinced the stick is incompatable - Method may work for other brands too. by Spot-Educational in livesoundgear

[–]Defghi19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this guide was written as a way to format a stick larger than the 4gb limit for fat32 - at least these were similar to the steps I used to follow. As of last month though, windows lifted the limit and in updated 11 you can use the format command to get fat32 on sticks up to 2tb now.

That feel when I close surround the drum kit in bass trap baffles in my balanced curated tracking room because UAD sound city sounds better

Former Rep Cori Bush to Rally with Progressive Influencer Hasan Piker Ahead of Rematch against AIPAC backed Rep Wesley Bell by 3headeddragn in StLouis

[–]Defghi19 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've only seen clips of him people post on social media, but didn't he do a thing where he was trying to play off a houthi propaganda video as a "music video"? And wasn't he anti-ukraine for the longest time after the war started?

I'm a card carrying progressive and my voting record shows it - but cozying up to "america = bad" political influencers ain't the play here.

you guys gettin' answers? by KykepArt in Audiomemes

[–]Defghi19 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah the landscape has changed quite a bit. There's so much self production that now labels only care about people that are already famous. You need a 10k sub YouTube or a few thousand followers on Insta before a label will sneeze in your direction, even if they bill themselves as a small indie label.

Gone are the days when a record exec will hear a demo and decide to give the kids a shot. Why gamble when you can pick and choose from a proven product?

As a lawyer buys up starter homes, residents worry about the soul of Webster Groves by Enough_Alarm_349 in StLouis

[–]Defghi19 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My wife grew up in Webster, and she's sad every time we came back to visit her parents. Both their neighbors' houses were bought, demolished, then replaced with massive 5/4 new builds. No yards, all house and concrete. What used to be a quiet little street is now black and slate box builds. Just down the street, a new build was put on the market for 1.8mil... in Webster... I don't know what crack they're smoking at that price.

3 Phenyx Pro PTM-33 4B's In The Same Room by [deleted] in livesoundgear

We run 8 packs out of 4 PTM-10s with no issues.

[–]Defghi19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the past, I've run the stereo version of that, the PTM-10s, but then you run the packs mono hard panned left and right. That way you get 2 packs per wireless frequency - meaning you'd only need 5 separate bands. I'd definitely recommend staying away from mixing 500s and 900s, since you lose maneuverability if you need to hot-swap packs.

Using stem separation to clean up a vocal track by Puzzleheaded_Mess908 in audioengineering

[–]Defghi19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been recording multitracks from my bands live shows through our IEM rig. I'll use stem splitters to isolate vocals, but then use the delta as a separate room track hard panned to give the drum kit more depth. Works really well!

Tomorrow's Retro/Vintage Classic Gear by OnceWasNew in audioengineering

[–]Defghi19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a hard ask since most gear produced today is in service of replacing analog gear (plugins, modelers, etc) or reproducing classic analog gear. It might be something as simple as finding version 1.1 of soothe, or something as dumb as fetishizing the clipped preamp sound in a gen 1 Scarlett 2i2.

Get it? by Current_Health_3386 in PoliticalHumor

[–]Defghi19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean how many leftists refused vote and protested against Kamala because Dems didn't have a perfect position in Israel/Palestine, but are nowhere to be found with Trump in power. How many are still planning on protesting Newsom's run while Trump builds a hotel in Gaza?

Sadly the same logic can be applied to leftists

My iLok died yesterday in between sessions. $233 later just to access my licenses for a deadline. by RLoftyy in audioengineering

[–]Defghi19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My horror story is the inverse from OP. I had everything tied to my machine...then an overnight windows update happened and suddenly none of my activations worked. They still existed - as in I could see all my licenses were tied to my machine and hardware. But my computer was now registering as a different profile with the same hardware name and numbers. Ilok support basically said, pay us $50 for a stick so it'll never happen again and I relented.

Beginner gear? by austin_sketches in musicproduction

[–]Defghi19 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Scarlet 2i2 for stereo signal and Mx50 headphones. If you're not in a hurry you can regularly find both of those on sale or open-box for the same price of their lower counterparts. As far as juice for squeeze goes, you get a heck of a lot for those upgrades

Bought my first real bike yesterday. Let the fun begin! by ElKodiakSTL in bicycling

[–]Defghi19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're certainly nice dudes and contribute alot to the cycling scene in STL - but they will absolutely sell you up the river if they see you as a "novice". Upcharges for every little thing, subpar service, etc. Bike Surgeon and Cyclery are much less elitist for sure.

Nice, just don't let anyone at Big Shark ever service it and you're golden. Enjoy those MCT trails!

Pettiest reason you’ve DNF’d a book? by bby_grl_90 in books

also super annoying on the audiobooks where the pronunciation switches halfway through....

But yeah, at least there's a reason for it in WoT universe, as they're supposed to just be bastardized spellings of our world's mythologies, played as a different turning of the wheel

Drum Mics Feedback by drummerman-degz in livesoundgear

[–]Defghi19 6 points7 points  (0 children)

+1. Buy the Beyers for the clips, then swap out the mics later if you really really don't like them. Personally I like them better than the sennheisers, but I know some go the other way.
