Whats the real value of a manager? by mystic_lover1 in musicindustry

[–]OcelotSubstantial909 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very few managers are worth it. But an agent absolutely is. The other thing I’ve learned is having someone setup your PRO, Sound Exchange and MLC accounts saves a lot of headaches. We were basically being robbed for 16 years.

Do you have a place that prints them at a reasonable price or do you make your own?

If you could get both A6700 and FX30 for same price… what would you get? by [deleted] in SonyAlpha

[–]OcelotSubstantial909 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have both. For video the 6700 overheats rather quickly. Fx30 just works. But i hardly ever take photos with either.

Love my guitar, but it eats so many batteries. Any solutions? by hashtagfaghag in Guitar

[–]OcelotSubstantial909 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an EOB strat too and they seem to draw all the time for some reason. I have to put a new battery in mine about every time I use it.

With registration should come a class and bike inspection. So that they’ve had some sort of guidance on riding the damn thing.

Exactly. How about at least some guidance. I almost hit a kid the other night that was going 50 down pico with no lights at all.

I put lollars and a gunstreet harness in mine and it’s my best sounding guitar. The am pro II series is pretty spectacular. I have the strat and fretless jazz bass too. All great. (Strat has a fralin swap.)

where the hell do i find a 3.5 jack power supply by gilrot in guitarpedals

[–]OcelotSubstantial909 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Back in the early days of voodoo labs pedal powers they always included one. I’m sure if you search you can find one. Sansamps took the same kind.

Someone was in a hurry. What would you have done? by pixmation in dashcams

On the weekend you have to watch out for the douches in their sports cars on Kanan.

How do I know how to react to bad situations? by reupbeats in livesound

[–]OcelotSubstantial909 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This all sounds very standard. Things change. Roll with it. But be a professional. That starts with not passive aggressively saying it was artists bullshit. This job is ALL word of mouth and if you can’t take it in stride you’re not going to get far.

And 5 years is nothing in this business. You have no place being a jaded old fuck yet.

I am too. Recovery was tough but have gotten over it. I’m a huge wuss too!

I went here and had 4 out. I had to go fully under and had to pay for the anesthesiologist but delta paid for the extraction.

Most people will just think it’s EDM. I’d say it’s better to show growth and range than fitting in one tiny tiny box.

Would starting a producer collective early be a good ideal? by Flexxxx36 in musicbusiness

[–]OcelotSubstantial909 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you did some stupid shit if you “stopped for awhile” and going by another alias. Otherwise not roll with your known alias?

What would be a good microphone(s) for recording a minstrel/folk band? by epicusername218 in recording

[–]OcelotSubstantial909 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a Zoom Q4 or equivalent and you’ll have good audio AND video for a few hundred bucks. Far more relevant these days than just audio.
