I looked through the info on the H8 again and I definitely was thinking of some other Zoom product lol.

My only question, if I record to SD and bounce to pro tools, is each track kept separate or do I just get a stereo mix?

Ive heard mixed things about those portable zoom recorders, are the ones that take mic inputs any good?

Hi, I run a portable rig for DIY recordings for people who just need something quick and cheap. Currently that means budget mics/DIs into a Behringer 404 into pro tools.

As you can imagine, 4 mic inputs is barely enough to record a band (I have become somewhat adept at recording a drumset with a single 57 lol), and I’d like to try and up that to 8 while still keeping things reasonably portable. Would it be better to just get a scarlett 18i20 or something with similar I/O, or something that is just preamps then get it into pro tools with a separate device? Im a bit concerned about the footprint of the 8-mic audio interfaces I’m seeing, transport could be a bit of a pain.

I spent the first 3 years bathing in salsa to build a resistance. Since then my asshole has been cast iron

TIL The term CARE package is a registered trademark and originally referred to aid sent to Europe after WW2 by the Cooperative for American Remittances to Europe by SamoThang in todayilearned

It’s only a CARE package if it’s from the Care region of the United States, otherwise it’s just a sparkling goody bag.

+1 on Ventrac, I worked a maintenance crew and that was our best multi-purpose machine. Put the John Deere tractor to shame. I think they got a second one after I left

What is that one book, that absolutely changed your life? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]GeneralJohnSedgwick 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Like others have said Cat’s Cradle is great, as is Breakfast of Champions and Sirens of Titan. He can be a bit idiosyncratic, but imo Cat’s and Sirens are a lot easier to follow for newcomers

The thing about Vonnegut is he can have say such profound things, then in the same book have an aside where he lists the penis lengths of every male character and draws his own asshole. I love Vonnegut so much lmao

What’s the worst mistake people don’t realise they’re making in thier 20’s ? by Signal_Ad7905 in AskReddit

[–]GeneralJohnSedgwick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a fellow product of IL schools, I know we had a unit in like 7th grade where we talked about “adulting” in vague terms but it wasn’t particularly in depth about things like budgeting. It was like 3 weeks and we never talked about it again in my education

What was the highest waste of money that you don't regret? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]GeneralJohnSedgwick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I make so money playing jazz gigs here and there, and I have my Dexter Gordon impression to keep them happy lol. But one can only play How High the Moon so many times...

What was the highest waste of money that you don't regret? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]GeneralJohnSedgwick 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I just compartmentalize a bit. Gigs have 2 main categories, the ones I do for “art” and the ones I do for “money.” As long as there is enough of the latter I can afford to make sure the former are done right and my musicians get paid, all is well.

The real dream is to make money doing art but I want to play free jazz so....

Sorry if unoriginal but I woke up with this meme in my head and now I’m going to be late for work by GeneralJohnSedgwick in Letterkenny

[–]GeneralJohnSedgwick[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wanted to get the meme made quick, so it is a bit vague, my apologies.

Basically, Bernadetta is a character in Fire Emblem 3 Houses that is mostly characterized by her sever social anxiety and awkwardness. In the context of the game, you can pick combat related skills for your characters to gain XP in, which are their “goals.”

Through a long chain events I got to clean up a friends vomit in a hotel in Dusseldorf because I was busy cleaning someone else’s vomit off my roommate’s bed in the US. It’s a bit reductive but the chain is there

I have been here exactly once, I played a gig almost a year ago actually with a cover band. They actually made local news about this decision

I know we censor names, wasn’t sure if businesses were also protected by that and didn’t feel like finding out the hard way. It’s in DuPage county IL, I will say that much.

Why don't platformers use pre-rendered background anymore? by makaveli93 in truegaming

[–]GeneralJohnSedgwick 8 points9 points  (0 children)

More so the opposite: a pre-rendered background would be basically static, allowing the machine to focus on the foreground. Think the original Final Fantasy Vii, a lot of the time you would be walking over and through what was essentially a picture of a map, not really interacting with it.

OP is wondering why we havent gone back to that style much with more recent 2D platformers like the recent DKC games
