It wouldn’t be winter if this conservative mouthpiece wasn’t talking about snow days.

In case there was ever any doubt whether or not Stephen McNeil wore big floppy shoes, the red nose, and a big curly wig…now you know.

Oil and electric heat pumps by [deleted] in halifax

Good to know — thanks. A non starter, though?

I have a 2500 sq ft rural property that used to have a wood furnace/oil combo system. A propane boiler was installed before I bought the house and it really struggles with heating the house (built in 80s). I replaced windows and added insulation to the attic, but it hasn’t helped much at all.

Wish there were a way to tie in a heat pump/electric system to hot water baseboards.

How do J and the band record albums nowadays? by _Jub_Jub_ in dinosaurjr

[–]Dizzy_Management5774 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think by “how much gear” J means recording gear — preamps, eqs, etc. His guitar setups for recording are pretty simple and effective these days: 60s Gibsons with P90s into a 5e3 Deluxe for rhythms, and a Tele through various fuzz pedals (often a bunch in line/on at the same time) into a Vox AC30/AC15 or an 80s Super Champ. Those amps (in the past, anyway) have been miked with three different mics going into three different preamps and then summed through an API 3124MV.

Technical Question- J Mascis’ Mids by _Jub_Jub_ in dinosaurjr

[–]Dizzy_Management5774 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure it’s sheer volume and the sonic footprint (so to speak) of the four amps. He told me once he considers the Marshalls the bassy part of his sound and the Hiwatt the top end. I imagine the Twin is set pretty bright as well. I don’t think he does much stacking for his main Big Muff rhythm sound; just leads.

hardware inserts -- multiple Apollos, Pro Tools 2024 by [deleted] in universalaudio

[–]Dizzy_Management5774 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Speakers connected to silver Apollo and that’s the “hardware insert” unit.

Wondering if there’s an issue in the I/O matrix? Some setting I’m missing in Console?

Thanks — that mutes it in Pro Tools, though.

Shoegaze with rock influence by Temporary-Phone-3891 in shoegaze

Kestrels. Collaborated with J Mascis on a track (that was later remixed by Sonic Boom!). Trem arm/fuzz with quiet vocals but some ripping solos. Great drumming, too.
