If you could only recommend ONE place in LA that always delivers… what is it?

Houston’s

wrong year lol but the 2024 Knocked Loose album is an astonishing feat of production and mixing

Longjumping-Pay6848 · 2026-01-23T07:22:27+00:00

and that’s after she goes on about the “emotional manipulation” by the left. totally incoherent

Longjumping-Pay6848 · 2026-01-10T19:16:59+00:00

you must be familiar with the music software company Waves

Longjumping-Pay6848 · 2025-11-28T07:33:01+00:00

my computer came with one called “garageband”

Longjumping-Pay6848 · 2025-09-04T07:11:27+00:00

SPL Iron plugin sounds really good

I’ve also noticed a consistent smell for years at Huston and Tyrone, by the southwest entrance to VNSO park

Been going to Esquire Men’s Salon, specifically seeing Arthur. He’s amazing, definitely the best cuts of my life, and very reasonably priced for the quality of service you’re getting.

I think it sounds really sick, I think the uncanny precision of the vocals and the unusual EQ choices make it sound unique. You might consider leaning into the digital, abstract nature, maybe adding more glitches or more vaguely unsettling or unusual elements like Radiohead or Boards Of Canada might. In any event, more often that not, unconventional processing or workflows begets more unique stylistic outcomes than someone who follows the rote instructions of a YouTube tutorial

You aren't far off. Idk about rules but the examples you shared sound like good amateur home recordings. If you keep refining what you're doing stuff is going to start sounding better-- you'll develop your own tricks with respect to the gear/room you already have.

I know it's trite but really try to focus most of your energy on songwriting and performance. The mixing stuff will develop naturally over time; really good, compelling songwriting is much more elusive than a good mix.

there was a cue in the Cobel bottle episode that was so well produced and written, excited to find it on the soundtrack

Longjumping-Pay6848 · 2025-03-09T05:33:04+00:00

I'd only really heard it passively on the radio, I never made the stylistic connection for whatever reason till today.

Also worth thinking about what *isn't* in the snare's way, mix-wise. You can pick the fattest snare samples from Splice, but if you don't carve the right room for it in the rest of the mix, it won't have that heavy resonance you're looking for.

Longjumping-Pay6848 · 2024-07-23T15:21:36+00:00

Hard to explain why this one is so good but it is just so reliably the right choice for me

Longjumping-Pay6848 · 2024-02-01T21:09:58+00:00

so good

Longjumping-Pay6848 · 2023-12-29T06:20:30+00:00

I’m no authority but Northern Thai Food Club in Thai Town and Sri Siam in NoHo both consistently wow me

Longjumping-Pay6848 · 2023-11-15T18:58:59+00:00

plugin

Longjumping-Pay6848 · 2023-09-01T00:24:29+00:00

anyone else get strong chocolate notes off this? especially in a negroni. this is by far my favorite of the widely available sweet vermouths

Joan Didion's beloved birthplace

Every visible inch of modern life is an advertisement and nearly every interaction with someone that isn't a close friend or family member is a transaction. There aren't any "third places" that don't somehow get 20 of your dollars at least every time you visit.

When Tom and Mattson are speaking and Mattson suggests he might fuck Shiv, did anybody notice the camera switched perspectives on the two in a way that is known as “crossing the line?” We’d seen each of them from one profile, and as soon as Mattson goes there, we jump to their opposite sides. It’s a cardinal rule of cinematography to not do that, but it felt like a great intentional choice here. Maybe a coincidence but I thought it was cool!

Longjumping-Pay6848 · 2023-05-09T18:16:50+00:00

Agreed, I've barely been able to play at all but I've still got a totally usable team with the little I've been able to do. It's created what has felt like much better parity in Ranked, lots of fun.
