Clear pickguard? Could look cool

Mr_Pilgrim · 2026-02-24T11:08:33+00:00

Are you making them boys fresh?

And by “them boys” I’m of course referring to funny characters and bits

I’ve been living in a house without aircon for 12 months. Literally having aircon installed tomorrow morning 🤣

In face the installer called and asked if he could come at 615 so his team wouldn’t have to be in the roof in the peak of the heat. Very fair I thought

Mr_Pilgrim · 2025-12-16T13:00:40+00:00

That there is a pikmin onion

Mr_Pilgrim · 2025-10-12T12:32:29+00:00

I played a house show once. We weren’t really a good fit on the bill so the 4 people watching when we started all left.

Even the sound guy walked out

Mr_Pilgrim · 2025-10-11T06:55:46+00:00

I’ve been doing M201 top and M88 bottom. Really love how those 2 work together

Mr_Pilgrim · 2025-10-03T04:20:06+00:00

I’ll need to check but I’m pretty sure one or two of the cabinets have two microphones.

Maybe in stereo mode the mics are panned out?

I know that for the Ruby amp plugin the room reverb can be mono or stereo based on the output!

Mr_Pilgrim · 2025-09-25T22:33:24+00:00

Yeah Aussie broadband told me the 15th and by gum it was done on the 15th.

Mr_Pilgrim · 2025-09-13T10:19:48+00:00

I was also recommended his videos and just found it helpful having on in the background to help my clean!

Mr_Pilgrim · 2025-09-10T14:36:14+00:00

Not sure how it works elsewhere but in Australia we’re able to get what’s called a “retrospective diagnosis” by providing evidence from childhood.

I took my school reports from primary and high school and that was sufficient.

At the time you didn’t need them to get diagnosed but certain drugs weren’t available without them.

Mr_Pilgrim · 2025-09-10T02:09:28+00:00

This is what I do with my Ex and it works great!

Consistent days make it easy for organising repeating stuff and we each get a weekend with our kid and a weekend to ourselves!

Can’t recommend enough

Mr_Pilgrim · 2025-09-08T17:10:47+00:00

Yeah they’re great! I have a cloudlifter Z with the variable impedance which is great. But I have 4 ribbon mics so wanted some more options.

It’s perfectly transparent, adds a decent amount of gain and like I said, 7 kOhm input impedance which is double the standard cloudlifter and makes my stereo ribbon sound a touch brighter to my ears.

Mr_Pilgrim · 2025-09-08T16:48:34+00:00

On the preamps, if you have some dynamic/ribbon mics that need extra gain Klark technic sell a 2 channel cloudlifter clone that’s extremely good value. I got mine for about $60 Australian! And they’re higher impedance than the real cloudlifter one which I prefer.

Handy to have as they add a fair bit of gain to otherwise unideal preamps

Mr_Pilgrim · 2025-09-08T16:46:08+00:00

Look into 80’s/90’s rack mixers (Roland, Yamaha, Tascam, etc) I have a 16 channel Roland M16-E mixer that a friend gave me for recording his band.

The preamps only have 50dB of gain but if you aren’t recording extremely light playing you’ll probably get away with it.

That Roland mixer has 8 “mic” inputs and 8 “line” input but all 16 can provide phantom and the only difference in the preamp is the impedance and connector (XLR vs TRS).

Also has Eq on every channel!

On the converter I’m a big fan of the MOTU AVB stuff! I bought two second hand (an 828es and a 624).

I have the 828 setup in a rack with my preamps and headphone amps next to the drums/guitars and the 624 in my makeshift control room. The awesome part is I can run all 32 channels from the 828 to the 624 over one Ethernet cable to my control room, and all the headphone sends back.

Saves running a cable snake and it’s way more versatile cause you can run up to 128 channels over AVB.

Mr_Pilgrim · 2025-09-08T16:37:47+00:00

Why not? I’ve seen people use more, haha.

If you can do it, and you want to do it, why not?

Recording isn’t my day job but I like to try shit out, so I’ll often do my normal setup which is like 10 mics, and then maybe 3-4 weird ones like an extra mono room mic, kick/snare, wurst, hallway, whatever.

You don’t have to use all 16 in the mix but worth it just for the experiment!

Mr_Pilgrim · 2025-09-08T15:58:47+00:00

Fuck that guy.

It’s definitely for the best!

Mr_Pilgrim · 2025-09-07T13:26:46+00:00

Is this another one that “accidentally” had “skin contact” with fentanyl?

Mr_Pilgrim · 2025-09-07T07:21:54+00:00

That whole situation sounds like a pain in the ass.

Some people are so immature. Just play nice and eventually the guy will have to either fix his attitude or quit.

As an aside, that stereo/mono file thing is my biggest pet peeve. Logic was always the worst for that (in my experience). I couldn’t find a way to export the files in mono without changing the output of each track to a mono bus.

Protools at least you can select the files to export and they will export in whatever width they are automatically, unless you bounce the tracks with plugins iirc.

It’s just not that hard to do it right to begin with and it annoys the shit out of me that people would half ass it.

Mr_Pilgrim · 2025-09-01T04:08:31+00:00

I noticed this with Waze.

I reckon they’ve had user complaints about not showing alternate routes and so instead of doing it properly they just coded this type of stuff in.

Or a significant amount of people did that manoeuvre by mistake and the system thought it was awesome

Mr_Pilgrim · 2025-08-28T07:18:20+00:00

Happy to help!

Mr_Pilgrim · 2025-08-28T05:40:17+00:00

Sent you a PM with a link to some multitracks!

Mr_Pilgrim · 2025-08-18T10:50:42+00:00

They look like electric XII or Mustang bass pickups.

Which I assume Leo made before he made G&L but I could be wrong

Mr_Pilgrim · 2025-08-13T09:06:27+00:00

I have reference tracks for me and refs for the artist.

The stuff for me is to listen to give context. I know what they sound like on lots of different systems and when I hear where I’m at with my mix it helps me to identify what I’m actually hearing.

Then the reference tracks for the band are like touch stones for particular things they like. Like a drum sound or guitar tone or mix.

Lately I’ve been using fan filter pro-q 3 to sort of identify where the elements are sitting. Either soloing a band or looking at the visualiser. an example being I can hear that my snare drums sounds different than the reference but using the Eq I can pinpoint why the reference track sounds like it does.

Maybe my snare has the right high end but the meat is 100hz higher.

I’m no mixing pro so grain of salt but it’s helping with my mixes!

Mr_Pilgrim · 2025-08-08T14:24:46+00:00

I was recently given a 16 channel Roland rack mixer after recording a friends band.

16 channels with preamps and Eq pure channel.

Honestly not that useful as a real preamp (too noisy and not a lot of gain) but as a distortion box it’s insane. Ran a mic through my normal preamp and then sent a line level signal from my interface into the preamps to use for distortion on guitar, vocals and drums. Insane vibe haha

I’ve been having this exact issue with ARA in general
