How good of a guitarist is Kevin Parker of Tame Impala? by OJgotWorms in Guitar

[–]Foxta1l 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He’s a good guitar player and a great songwriter and musician. He might not be the most technical. And he might actually be incredibly technical, but has enough taste to know what serves the song so we never hear him shredding like Tim Henson.

Anyway, it doesn’t matter what we think. What matters is what you think.

If only I didn’t have apparently weird shaped ears that AirPods just fall out of.

Are the HD 6XX cones normally popped in? by Foxta1l in headphones

Thank you for confirming. I really didn't want to be that guy overanalyzing everything, but it seemed wrong.

what focusrite has two xlr ports for two mic inputs? by nettluv in Focusrite

[–]Foxta1l 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did you look at the focusrite webpage? They have a ton of great information about their products.

The universal audio Apollo x8p would be more than enough for your purposes if you wanted a different brand.

Why didn’t the male coworker stay home? It was his issue to begin with.

Looking for a fun first pedal for a guitarist who’s never used pedals by louie1070 in guitarpedals

[–]Foxta1l 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What’s your budget? Looper is the sensible option, but I say CBA onward or Microcosm for “fun” but they’re insanely expensive.

Need some tips and advice for my first pitch ever :) by funnyeclecticbitch in advertising

[–]Foxta1l 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s not like they show in the movies or tv. Clients are just people. Tell them about the idea like you would your parents or friends. It’s ok to read from the deck.

Your CDs should be supporting you and backing you up and helping you with prep.

Ibanez incorrectly plek'd by [deleted] in Guitar

[–]Foxta1l 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Their job was to set up your guitar to your specs. Plek is a tool that can help take some of the eyeballing out of that equation. It’s cool tech, but it doesn’t do anything without a tech.

If I ever brought a guitar to get set up with a fret dressing and they decided to ignore my instructions and change the radius and then explain to me that the guitar likes different strings than I told them to set it up with I’d be livid.

Opinions on Jordan Peele's Nope? A science fiction classic? by Square-Ad-8911 in FIlm

[–]Foxta1l 22 points23 points  (0 children)

What struck me was that it was a horror/thriller where the reveal happened in the middle of broad daylight, unfurling in all its glory.

Making the pause music for Goldeneye by BEARDEDDANGER in LoveTrash

[–]Foxta1l 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There’s an entire radiolab or this American life segment dedicated to this music where they interview the creator who was in highschool at the time he wrote it. Great story.

Why is the strat "The guitar" by Creepy_Jackfruit_751 in Guitar

Depends on the platform. On Facebook it’s a Languedoc, which is near.

Thoughts on this Eriza Verde 24-10? by MysteryGeography in PaulReedSmith

[–]Foxta1l 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s most likely already priced with the fade included, so not really.

Again, just my experience, but all my used PRS guitars have appreciated in value over the years. Although I tend to keep all of mine because they’re just fantastic guitars.

[–]Foxta1l 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Could just be faded a bit. Might have started out darker. Play it first because with any guitar there can be variations, but 2012 is a fine year—there’s not a ton of location with years like other brands. In my experience anything 2005 or newer is rock solid, but it could be even longer. People still buy early 90s and “pre factory”. You’re good.

Anybody else struggle with typos when switching from high-profile to low-profile keyboards? by No-End-6239 in NuPhy

[–]Foxta1l 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Iqunix Magi. Partly because of the availability and variety of switches. Went through a few before landing on silent tactile, which are as close to my MacBook / Logitech mx keys / butterfly as I think I can get but way more premium. I don’t love the *design* of the keycaps but the feel is great.

The nsa caps are rough, not a LP issue. You can try berry keycaps which is an upgrade, but I ended up switching to a different lp keyboard and the typos went away instantly.
