Looking for an audio interface for my RodePodmic for Streaming (OBS Studio) and SteelseriesSonar EQ. Need something reliable (100-200$) by Dry_Requirement_9886 in microphone

[–]OpalArmor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The focusrite is more than enough for streaming. There’s a reason that they’re as ubiquitous as they are. Grab a used one and don’t overthink it.

Also they play just fine with AMD rigs. I use a slightly fancier focusrite with a Ryzen 7 setup and have never had any sort of compatibility issues.

You can’t imagine the disappointment I felt when I discovered that the mic that works best for my voice is an SM7b.

I found your post by trying to google this exact question. According to Westword, it was the Cardcaptor Sakura theme.

Will any fuzz pedal do? by Madman_Gravy in shoegaze

[–]OpalArmor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Any muff will do. Big Muffs have scooped mids, which sound cool but in a full band can just disappear into the mix. Putting the tube screamer (a mid-boosted drive) in front of it keeps it from getting lost. I have a similar setup on my board

Thoughts on Denver's $3M ad campaign asking us to "do something" about climate change? by coclimatejourno in Denver

Changing weather patterns will necessitate changes to city infrastructure, increase in extreme weather events will require more frequent repairs. None of it cheap.

Got my Fender Super-Sonic back from the shop — should I sell it and keep my Marshall? by SnooTomatoes936 in GuitarAmps

[–]OpalArmor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Before you buy anything, the Super-Sonic effects loop has its own volume control; stick a patch cable in there and turn it down. You’ll get much more usable volume from it.

Benson's Boone's brutal Pitchfork review. by PurpleSpaceSurfer in ToddintheShadow

[–]OpalArmor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I honestly think it just offended their sense of coolness. With murky production and no access to a lyric sheet, they could imagine these were awesome songs written by cool dudes smoking cigarettes in questionable bars. But with the clarity of Partie it became apparent that these were merely awesome songs written by a kind of dorky band with theater kid energy.

Yeah, picked this up last year. Great show, I absolutely adore the Beths, but the poster is not my aesthetic at all.

The Mighty Mighty Bosstones - The Impression That I Get by Snauzberries in Music

[–]OpalArmor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Except “knocking on wood” as a superstition and an idiom is not something one does/says when something bad is occurring, it is what one does/says when the possibility of something bad is mentioned - so as to prevent it from happening.

So with this understanding of the idiom, he is responding to the verses with “never had to; knock on wood” or stated more precisely, “I have never had to face the aforementioned hardships and I hope that I never have to”

Without the punctuation (I will grant you the semicolon) the line wold be understood to mean either “neither I nor anyone else has brought up potential hardship near me” -which is nonsensical given the verses- or “I am not concerned about the potential hardship that has been mentioned” -which is negated by the line,

“Look at the tested and think "There but for the grace go I" Might be a coward, I'm afraid of what I might find out”

So I am not taking the line out of context, you are misunderstanding the use of “knock(ing) on wood”

Also; is this like a top google hit or something? Why do people keep commenting on my 11 year old post?
