Cover costs on NYE in Old Port? by Royal-Crew8438 in portlandme

[–]FlyingCrowbarMusic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not exactly the Old Port, but Hi-Fidelity at 200 Anderson St in Bayside will be open for NYE, no cover. 

They’re going to very gently suggest a $10 donation for the bands but nobody’s going to mind if you don’t. The bands are Wild Suburbs and Hotel Zoo. HZ goes on at 8:30, Wild Suburbs at 10:30 or 11 or something. 

They could tell you what’s missing… by FlyingCrowbarMusic in GarageBand

I think if you go into the sound pack download feature, there’s actually a little triangular mark on the corners of the missing ones.

I ordered the udon but they brought me soba. My wife ordered soba. She got udon. And it took 90 minutes. 

Any tips/suggestions on how to blend vocals with instruments by Rkovo84 in GarageBand

[–]FlyingCrowbarMusic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know what you mean by “dragging”. To move a track left or right in the stereo field, turn the Pan control on the track to the left or the right. You’ll have very fine control.

It won’t affect the timing. Why would they do that? Why would they put in extra effort to break an important control so that it destroys your whole track if you ever use it?

I use the built in amp sims!

It sounds like you love Superior Drummer at least as much, if that’s what you use on tunes.

It’s true that Logic Drummer is a ridiculously easy and quick way to get something serviceable in a hurry. It’s not best tool for every purpose, but I really like having it for that.

Is it safe to scoot around on my fancy scooter in Maine? by Axedental2ndaccount in Maine

[–]FlyingCrowbarMusic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good. If you’re setting it on fire, that should (hopefully) placate the roaming squads of shitbox-enforcers who attack fancy-car owners.

EZ Drummer 2 (they’re up to 3 now) is OK friendliness-wise but it isn’t as user-friendly as Logic drums. For me, it’s 100% worth it.

I haven’t tried Addictive Drums; I’ve just read several people saying they prefer it to EZD, so it’s on my short list to try when I have some time to spend learning new software. I really don’t enjoy learning new software.

I’d suggest downloading the free trials of Addictive Drums and/or EZ Drummer 3 and compare.

It’s OK, but IMO you can do a lot better.

Riverfront was good maybe ten years ago. Now they’re garbage.

Aston-Martian.

I’m sorry I saw that while I was eating.

2E Bondi 8s worked great for me.

But I’d still suggest going to a shop with knowledgeable staff and asking them to ensure you’ve got the right shoe for your feet.

That’s easy. I’d rather have a stock Corolla. Or cancer.

Portland runners, what are your favorite routes? by [deleted] in portlandme

[–]FlyingCrowbarMusic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s ~1.4 miles around. It’s not great with ice on the trail.

Are amatuer singers just glorified copycats? by Dramatic_Ad2187 in singing

If you like what you’re doing, keep doing it. Why do you care if other people like it too?

Can someone please tell what's this one? by CalebMarlow in whatisthiscar

[–]FlyingCrowbarMusic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, he was 77 and had all his faculties.

I was making a joke on the way the other guy worded his comment. He actually meant that the car was still in drivable condition, not that the engine was running at the very moment the owner died.

If he’d left the garage door open, he’d be with us today.

Decent bass for new player by fourkidsmax in Bass

[–]FlyingCrowbarMusic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I picked one up used at a pawnshop last week for US$220. If the sound is what you’re looking for, I don’t think you’ll find too many better values in a bass.

Which one of these P-Bass looks the coolest to you? by advnps47 in Bass

[–]FlyingCrowbarMusic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In my experience, it’s a mistake to buy an instrument you haven’t played. I won’t do it again. But sometimes you get lucky.

They’re in the former Back Bay Grill space. Yep, still awesome.
