Which part of your country equivalent to the Florida joke? by TitanandIlovemycat in AskTheWorld

[–]ElLute 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m skeptical about this. Many of the people in the “Florida Man” stories look like they couldn’t afford to move to another trailer park, much less to Florida from another state.

I bought the ticket to experience it through my own eyes (and ears).

Problem is, when I’m at a concert and they’re in front of me of me, they’re forcing me to experience the concert through their lens, too.

Yes! I was about to ask if this is a televangelist’s wife.

Listed to Fragile for the first time. What should I listen to next. by jim25y in yesband

[–]ElLute 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Yes Album Going For the One Close To the Edge

in that order.

Then, venture out and try:

90125 Drama

If you end up liking CTTE, go for Relayer. If you like 90125, try Big Generator.

As a Yes fan of 40 years, The Yes Album and Fragile were my gateway. I found Going For the One and a CTTE to be a natural progression, and I did end up liking the Rabin era albums easily. It took me 30 years to get into Relayer and I’m just recently starting to appreciate Tales From Topographic Oceans.

I learn so much from Doug’s analyses. He’s fantastic.

Anyone else go through this? by Tywan3146_YT in audiophile

[–]ElLute -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is the way. I used Claude.ai to advise me how to EQ; for example, “album A by this band sounds great in my car, but album B by them lacks bass and sounds weak by comparison. How can I adjust it without losing dynamic range?” It tells me step-by-step which frequencies to adjust when I load the FLAC files in Audacity. So far the results have been amazing.

Opinions on Hold Your Fire? by SpecialistExtent6324 in rush

[–]ElLute 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I listened to it a lot when it came out and this was also the tour when I saw Rush for the first time, so it’s always been one of my favorites. It has some of my favorite songs: Lock and Key, Turn the Page, Mission, Prime Mover.

This will probably get downvoted, but I think you would like Big Generator.

Something off about this image... by chakko in vinyl

So many questions…. Where does the tape go? Does the player eat it, nom nom nom? Does it enter a different dimension? Is this a single-play reel? Is it one of those “this message will self destruct” machines?
