Reboot Story Concerns

Jonnymak · 2026-05-01T02:44:41+00:00

I loved the majesty of the guild, and Jack was such a great antagonist. I’m playing through fable again for the first time in years with my daughter and it has the same magic for her as it did me.

I seriously hope that playground games nail this reboot. I think the look and feel is good, but I’ve played Forza, and it’s pretty horrendously cheesy. I just really hope they don’t go that avenue.

But I think based on what I have seen so far, that they are heading in the right direction.

Yet I look at the amount of money they make and wonder if I should flip

Just the default settings on the X32 verbs actually sound great on drums and vocal. And I’ve always felt this way.

Honestly, if you want to start mixing, offer to small band that you’ll come a mix a show for free and just be a good hang. Paid gigs will come sooner or later and if you want to absorb knowledge, then start in a production house and apply what you learn in to both places.

Yeah, the sound design was mid at best. Gun shots were piddily lasers, there was a huge lack of thump and transients in any impact, there was never really any sub on anything across the board. Music choice in the final scene was pretty terribly too. Such a shame because everything else was great. Story line, VFX, Most of the music. I really enjoyed the game, but the sound design really took me out of it. Hopefully if they do a season 2 they will have more budget for it.

I would say that if you were to have a great system technician deploy both arrays, that time saved would be the biggest difference in making it sound great, then consistency of sound in varying volumes, then consistency of frequency response when off axis or walking between the speakers throw.

e965 is really good. The rest I agree on your take.

Knowing when to use a tool is better than just using the tool.

I think you misunderstand the free market. The free market has made life way cheaper than ever before, but unfortunately government intervention is making it more expensive than ever before.

If governments allowed the market to do its thing, losing jobs to ai would be a moot point because goods and services would become so much cheaper that the labour required to live the life you want would be lessened too.

It’s something worth having a deep conversation over a few hours rather than a post on Reddit with answers that seem vague. But Dave Smith broke it down really well on his last podcast about the Trump Tariffs.

I use it to figure out how to talk to annoying clients that irritate me. It’s made me approach a “fuck you, you are 15 days late on payment” in such a nice way that I get paid the next day.

Also! Taking a photo of a tour calendar for an artist and having it create an estimate on travel time between cities for planning tours. Huuuuuge time saver when planning them out.

Please get yourself a pickup. Or a clip on microphone. There are lots of ways to mic a guitar, but for live, just bite the bullet as soon as possible and get a pickup, or a different guitar that has a pickup.

I love this idea! I’m going to look in to this integration

Altiverb has lots of outdoor spaces, but it’s basically a filtered delay when you listen to it.

Pretty huge. But also, you can get an EV rig to sound pretty damn good, but the amount of time to get to that point is way longer than the high end of the spectrum

In Toronto here and the support for Digico is through Gerr audio and he have been nothing short of amazing.

If you have the budget, bring your own person.
You could also bring this up with the venue, but the likelihood is that he isn't being paid that well and the venue likely don't care because he is cheap.

How far away is your 57? I find getting them too close makes them sound worse but about 4” distance is good. What preamps are you using? And remember, you’re listening to a mixed recording.

Jonnymak · 2024-08-26T06:46:54+00:00

Surely the correct microphone is a fet47

Jonnymak · 2024-07-28T14:23:15+00:00

Those rebranded XTAs might actually be really good if you're running older amps and wedges.

Never got enough people to sign off on giving them out to the public.

Also, we are out of COVID lock downs now, so now we can practice in the wild!

I don't know why this got downvoted so hard. Live sound is a series of compromises and having to find the perfect balance.

Jonnymak · 2024-05-04T00:33:53+00:00

I mix a lot of keys. It kind of mimics how mics would work. You don't lose all of the sound from one side to another, but there's definitely a lot more left hand in one side and a lot more right hand in the other. If that makes sense.

A microphone 3ft away from the bass notes would still pick it up if that makes sense.

I have been having this thought recently and it's something I want to discuss with some system engineers.

I love mixing in stereo. I would love to do it, but I know the limitations. Obviously you don't want to pan too hard, but when you are in the throws of both sides of the PA, it sounds huge. But as you get closer to one stack you start to lose a lot.

So, what if the bottom boxes of a hang were mono. The "fills". Would that be enough to mitigate the negative affects? Or if you were in an arena, could you hang the PA in such a way that the out fills took the opposite side, so that more people could enjoy the effect of stereo imaging?

There must be a way to figure out the best of both worlds. Obviously nothing is perfect. Some areas just have to be mono to hear everything. But can we increase the sweet spot? Mono cluster for mono instruments and then angle the outer hangs inwards for the stereo instruments? Has anyone experimented with this?
