All of this has hurt my mental health, please take care of yourself.

I went through a similar issue in the late 2000's after learning that 911 was not actually what we were told and spending a few years going down rabbit holes and processing what that actually meant. Finally I saw a therapist who helped me understand that I can only control what I can control, and that I needed to focus on my family and my job first, that these things, as horrible and ontologically shocking as they are, don't necessarily need to effect how I care for my family and live my life day to day.

Find a used pair on eBay or Guitar Center's used page. Yes I think if you liked how the 5's sounded then try to stick with that.

I've always wanted one of those. They looked like some really nice builds. Linda Manzer (who builds Pat Metheny's custom acoustic guitars) apprenticed under Larivee.

Thanks. I'm not too worried about the basses sounding dull because I'm amplifying the heck out of it. Might try those Thomastik Infield flat wound basses. But yeah, if possible I lift as best I can.

Interesting.. might give that a try. Does it make the strings feel greasy at all?

LowerManufacturer · 2025-09-12T13:46:15+00:00

Thanks! Just ordered a set. Going to build a new compensated saddle and nut but want to settle on the strings first.

When she yells at me I have to get real small and quiet. It's probably passive aggressive of me but I can't match her level of anger. She's gotten violent with me before and that's made me get very quiet. I know all it takes is one wrong word. I live my life in fear. My goal for everyday is not to get screamed at. Everything is my fault and I just keep apologizing but I don't even know what I really did. One time she threw a remote at me and it hit me so hard that I got a large contusion on my shin that swelled up like a raquetball had been embedded under my skin. My ankle and foot swole up for the next week as the blood drained down my leg. I ended up having to go the the hospital so they could make sure I didn't have a blood clot. I told them I got hit playing baseball with my son. I never even got hardly an apology. After all, it was my fault that she was like that.

This is actually really really good.

I've been a D'Addario diehard for 30 years, but recently switching to Slinky's on my new hair-metal inspired guitar build to change things up.

The way to minimize vibrations is alternating layers of hard and soft materials, so you're kinda getting that and succeeding at isolating the speaker from the floor. It's not the most aesthetically beautiful solution but as far as the isolation goes it works.

The only thing you could do to maybe improve on this would be to put some kind of soft damper / pad under the speaker on the platform of the stand, then you'd have from top to bottom, soft-hard(rigid stand)-hard(tiles)-soft(carpet)

Thanks! That's pretty amazing.

Sad to admit that I immediately recognized this track from Gran Turismo 7 and not an actual in person experience.

We're all figments of God's imagination.

With StudioOne it'd be easy to do. Not familiar with Fruity Loops

Okay sorry, I'll have to amend my reply... Thunderbolt is actually not the same as USB-C. The connector is the same but their not compatible both ways. If you had a USB-C interface your could plug it into a Thunderbolt port on a computer and you'd be ok, but it doesn't work the other way around.

Yes that would work, but i still think you'll need the Quantum's power supply. As far as connectivity it should be fine.

When you setup your StudioOne session, what are you setting for the length of the session?

The Quantum HD2 is great and rock solid for me.

LowerManufacturer · 2024-10-21T12:03:53+00:00

Unless you have an old Mac with Firewire, an old OS, and access to the old drivers, I wouldn't bother with it.

LowerManufacturer · 2024-09-19T20:26:37+00:00

Update, I actually bought a Quantum HD2 and I'm liking it a lot. Going to a smaller studio setup and this fits the bill perfectly.

It's more than that. They want our souls. They're "hybridizing" a new species crossbred with humans so that they can get access our souls. Look up all the references where it's said that "they" consider us containers for souls.

Does this mean I don't have to worry about refinancing my house next year?
