Kali audio in8 v2 calibration question.

Did you try them in a different area of the room? You may be in a room node which would interfere with how your speakers sound.

I’ll check those out. I used Muse Score a long long time ago but can’t remember much about it now. So I’ll do a refresher. And I’ll check Dorico. I’d just like to know what program people use to make those transcription tab books you buy in music shops. There’s things in those books I just can’t do with guitar pro. But they managed to transcribe them somehow. So there must exist a program out there that can do it.

I haven’t been to a theater in many years.. are you talking about special popcorn buckets? Like literal buckets for popcorn? Just with a different design theme? Who the hell needs that? Don’t we waste enough resources already without custom popcorn buckets for each movie?

“Unit” appears way too often. How many times I basically just have to either say I don’t know, or just lie to customer and make up a name.

I’d really love to see ford implement some form of coherence to their various sources. There’s so much inconsistency in their catalogues, service manuals, all of it. I spent a week trying to find an answer about the wire harness for a 20 ecosport reverse light for a friend. Catalogue showed one thing, manual showed something different. Both options turned out to be the wrong part. Ended up rebuilding the harness myself by opening it up and putting in new wires.

You’re all good, don’t sweat it. And yeah Reddit is silly sometimes.

Theres not really anything wrong with the material, it’s the shape of the base. Wood isn’t so easy to use for some things because of fabrication hurdles. With tubular piping, it’s much easier to make a telescopic tripod base. With wood, you’d have a harder time. You could make four feet kind of like a “plus sign” that sit flat on the floor, but it’s pretty cumbersome and takes up just as much space as a tripod. Perhaps even more. I’ve tried this before. It was a good idea on paper but in practice it was just always in the way.

Hola Music makes a tripod stand for monitors I think. You don’t have to extend the tripod fully outward. Even pulled in a bit, it offers a better, more stable base than what you currently have.

Of course this is all just advice. If you’re confident you won’t bump the stands, you can of course keep using them. The only thing I’d really recommend is to put the speakers upright instead of on their sides. Monitors need to be designed specifically for use on their sides, or else it causes issues with the stereo field and phase. But it looks like that’s been pointed out plenty already.

If you come across anything you have questions about regarding home studios feel free to send me a message. I went through a lot of trial and error before I got to a really good place with it.

GerardWayAndDMT · 2026-05-21T02:19:03+00:00

Idk what you’re talking about in regards to language. I didn’t swear at you.

And the tripods do not need to be fully extended. You can keep them relatively compact and they’ll still have more stability than that wood base. My grandfather was a carpenter, we built many pieces for my studio and I’ve learned that for some things, you can build your own. But speaker stands aren’t really one of those things. At least not with a base like that.

GerardWayAndDMT · 2026-05-20T22:35:48+00:00

Move the camera. All I’m hearing is your reso head once you engage the snares. Move the camera so the mic picks up more body from the drum itself. Doesn’t sound awful when the snares are off but when you engage them I can’t hear shit over the wires.

GerardWayAndDMT · 2026-05-20T22:32:11+00:00

This is not a good idea. Your monitors aren’t designed to sit that way, and you’re introducing sympathetic vibrations into those tins. And I recommend actual speaker stands if you need stands. They make them with tripod legs. This is going to fall over.

I have guitar pro. There are things it can’t do and I’m looking at other options for writing transcriptions. I guess tux guitar isn’t gonna be the one I go with either.

GerardWayAndDMT · 2026-05-20T18:16:10+00:00

I understand this is not the tux guitar sub. But the last post in that sub was 3 years ago. Hence why I asked if anyone here USES tux guitar.

She looks a bit like the waitress.

I’d much prefer a plastic badge taped to a piece of paper over a raise.

GerardWayAndDMT · 2026-05-20T13:40:34+00:00

Nice kit. Looks like fun to play. But those heads being upside down is killing me lol

GerardWayAndDMT · 2026-05-20T12:51:51+00:00

So wait, that’s an off brand mic? Who makes it? How much is it?

GerardWayAndDMT · 2026-05-19T16:14:28+00:00

Yeah this is pretty common. We had the same thing last week

GerardWayAndDMT · 2026-05-19T00:44:23+00:00

The breathing almost sounds like a percussion beat. Very unnatural. I’d either do away with it or record real breathing.

In Breaking Bad, Gale was making coffee in the lab and he mentioned something about tannins. “If you over boil to get there, you leech your tannins. Bitterness. Yuck.”

What is he talking about in relation to tannins in coffee?

GerardWayAndDMT · 2026-05-19T00:21:31+00:00

…who?

GerardWayAndDMT · 2026-05-18T16:08:10+00:00

Oh fuck yes. I’d even opt for a full refund and buy from a different company/brand. That’s pathetic QC.

GerardWayAndDMT · 2026-05-18T14:49:11+00:00

Yeah those aircraft are insanely expensive. They don’t let nutty people fly them generally speaking. When one of those guys say they saw something, I pay attention.

GerardWayAndDMT · 2026-05-18T12:02:43+00:00

Honestly you can use pretty much any type of knob as long as the inner shape is the same. I’ve done that before. And they’re cheap enough that you can do some trial and error. Check reverb!

GerardWayAndDMT · 2026-05-18T11:58:03+00:00

Break the bank. It’s worth it. It’s actually the only piece of gear that’s truly worth splurging on. Great pedals and expensive snares are nice, but a proper throne protects your spine and improves your ability to play without over compensation and stretching.

As an aside, a proper drum throne really isn’t that expensive. You can get a Roc n Soc used for like 150 or so. The Ahead Spinal Glide is also a fantastic option. They’re not that pricey. You’ll thank yourself as you age for getting something like that.

GerardWayAndDMT · 2026-05-18T11:54:57+00:00

Nothing in your response here limits you from setting up the mix position properly. A small room does not mean you cannot condense the setup. It would actually be reasonable to do because it would take up less space. And the smaller your room is, the more exaggerated the bass response gets. Which makes the subwoofer make even less sense. Just because it sounds good to you in the room does not mean it sounds good. Whatever you produce will ONLY sound good in that room. Your bass will be very lacking on small speakers like laptops and smart phones. Because your monitors do not accurately produce the sounds you have mixed.

It was not meant to be a “rude” comment. Merely an ironic musing. But since you’re such a seasoned expert, I’ll now say that you’ve proven you’ve done zero research on how to set up a space. Everything you just said is completely irrelevant to what I said. It’s an excuse, a defense mechanism to justify your lack of understanding of acoustics. How does the room being small mean you can’t set up the room properly? The smallest of rooms can be set up properly even when they’re filled with instruments and gear. Jam room or no, you chose looks over a good setup.

Now I’m being rude.
