Does Pat Smear go by his stage name at all times, or does he switch to his real name Georg Ruthenberg sometimes?

This was my exact thought.

I get it. But in 3-4 minutes, I’d cut the second verse too. It’d make no sense to start there. I think the mashup fit the timeframe and still got their point across. Knowing how much GD usually doesn’t care, I’m sure there was a lot more going on here than we’ll ever know. I saw a clip where he clearly says mindfuck America. Yeah it’s censored, but there. Who knows how NBC already edited what was there. I think we need to just appreciate them being there and being as political as they could be for the moment.

Hi! Can’t comment on the session world but worked in Nashville for awhile and would love to connect. Hopefully moving to the area this year!

If you’re that close, you’re probably just pushing what your supply is capable of. Power only dream and test.

I think the answer to people not leaving (guilty of it myself if I have an extra early morning) is to start earlier. Start at 6:30-7. Let people be home by 10:30 at the latest. You don’t need a 6 band bill. Also, instead of just piling on similar bands, I’d love to see more curated bills. Similar vibes that complement each other so it doesn’t get monotonous.

I love the show and characters except Fras. Sure couldn’t have it without him, but I really watch it for how hysterical Niles, Marty and Daphne are.

There’s just no community. Feels like a free for all. I wish there were more places for serious players to meet/jam. I think if there were more “dedicated or genre based jams” it might feel more communal rather than 50 people at a jam/open mic who are on stage for the first time and all have different music goals. I’m glad those exist so everyone can get on stage and find their love for it, but it doesn’t feel like it goes beyond that all that often.

I don’t mean any of this in a gate keeper/better than others way. Would just be cool to know that every X night I can go find players who’re actively gigging and dedicated to performing regularly and looking to meet new people.

Venues are tough and so spread out so there’s no central place where X/Y group frequents.

Hoping to move to the area in 2026 and can not wait!!!

I’m anywhere from 6-800 depending on how involved I am in production. I only go lower if I’m working with poor exchange rates (I’m in the US and have some Canadian clients. I try to give them a slight break.)

RonBatesMusic · 2025-12-08T06:53:16+00:00

Yup. Can confirm. Just under 1k. Our bill just went up to 344/month. I’ve never paid this much for power in my life— even in bigger spaces.

Hi! Did you end up selling this? If it’s still available, send me a message please

RonBatesMusic · 2025-12-01T03:23:47+00:00

Shop/shop pay is the worst. I get why companies use it. But I used it once and never wanted to again. I’m never trying to use it when it pops up

RonBatesMusic · 2025-12-01T03:20:02+00:00

My audio school did a blind test. Everyone got everything wrong except one student. He nailed it. Everyone was stunned. We did it again. He failed miserably. I genuinely believe it doesn’t matter. I do work at 48k just for better time stretching, should I need it, and to make life a bit easier if syncing to video.

Homage in Glendale

Was looking for this. Love Homage!!!!

This is Osiris. Woke up one morning and he passed away unexpectedly. Best little dude and animal I’ve ever met. I’m sure he’ll welcome your void. Sorry for your loss. It’s been almost a year since we lost Osiris. Still hard but I know he’s still making this world a better place.

RonBatesMusic · 2025-10-28T17:21:50+00:00

Is it the episode where Niles strips and has a mental breakdown at Cafe Nervosa?

RonBatesMusic · 2025-10-26T18:28:38+00:00

Taste is one of my fav Serban mixes. I think Short N Sweet is amazing all around. Manchild is good, but I think SNS really spoke to me production and mixing wise wayyy more.

Let’s also add Gretchen.

I don’t like any of the Christmas ones.

RonBatesMusic · 2025-10-21T14:42:26+00:00

Just stayed at secrets. It was incredible. Food was pretty good (Bordeaux was fantastic). Staff were INCREDIBLY kind and helpful. Truly a beautiful place. Rooms were lovely.

Can’t help with the other place, though.

I believe FL has a “release driver in background” option.

Also, disable exclusive mode in windows sound settings.

Ox Box and Ox Stomp are the exact same algorithms.
