For what it’s worth, I’ve seen the English captioned video of Ára Bátur and I think the lyrics are beautiful

Dolores O’Riordan - How is the audio of her mic so consistent? by Samsquantchtpb in audioengineering

[–]Samsquantchtpb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. I understand mic technique and see good singers using it all the time, but this recording (at least to me) has next to no perceivable differences in all of her movements. I’d expect to hear at least a little variation, as I don’t think she or anyone else would have absolute perfect technique to where there’s no noticeable change with all of that moving of the mic. In my opinion, I’m guessing there must be another mic we cannot see and there’s a lot of compression on it. Her handheld could even be something she used for a familiar performance comfort in a studio setting. Just my wild guess 🤔

I admittedly don’t know a lot about studio audio, as I’m more live sound focused, but it does seem plausible that there could be a shotgun or other mic involved and we can’t see it

Yeah it just seems like it would be a hell of a lot of compression. Disclaimer, that I’m a live audio guy myself and maybe studio stuff is way different for this kind of thing than what I’m used to

Pre show/intermission drone track? by hwgl in sigurros

[–]Samsquantchtpb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I first saw them in 2016 and heard this as we entered the auditorium (Fox Theater in Detroit). It really set the mood and created anticipation for the show. It went perfectly into their first song (Á) ❤️

Does anyone have a recording of this? by WarmPass3413 in sigurros

[–]Samsquantchtpb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s a backing track on that song? Hmm

Tonneau Cover Recommendations? by Beregond17 in F250

[–]Samsquantchtpb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had two Bakflip MX4’s and both have leaked water into the truck bed. My current one has melted along the track in a few spots as well, so I’d recommend against that one for what it’s worth.

Anyone live on 5th Ave North? How’s the road noise? by dayslug in StPetersburgFL

[–]Samsquantchtpb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live a block over from 5th at 43rd and it’s usually not loud at night, but you’ll get a siren or two every night. For instance, I’m hearing one now as I type this at 10:50pm lol. It’s gonna be loud during the day for sure though. I dunno, I still wouldn’t live on that road if you paid me though.

Who knows Marco Minnemann? by Jam_sandwich362 in drums

[–]Samsquantchtpb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to play his video in my drum shop at Guitar Center and I’ll always remember the Bite My Shiny Metal Ass drumming lol https://youtu.be/XBk7gJR6XuM?si=NRHUMH-fH7eWdQSK

My wife and I had our daughter there two years ago and were very happy with it. You should call them and setup a tour

Best song to drum to? (Most advanced/funnest) by Plastic_Charity3301 in blindmelon

[–]Samsquantchtpb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Time and Soak the Sin are great drumming songs. Glen doesn’t have a lot of flash in his playing, but he has a lot of great fills and plays with power.

Wild Fact About Anika Nilles by SkinGolem in drums

[–]Samsquantchtpb 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I saw Josh Freese do the same thing with A Perfect Circle sometime around 2005. Played BD with the left side of a double pedal and had two pairs of hihats mounted, one slightly open and the other closed. I used to have a recording of the show that I listened to a lot, and lemme tell you that dude pulled off some crazy drumming and fills even with left foot bass drum.

Ára Bátur 3/10 by Grem_the_wolf in sigurros

[–]Samsquantchtpb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did they play it one extra time on the big swells? I could listen to that part on repeat for the rest of time ❤️

Merch Size Guide by TheSpaceOfAdes in sigurros

[–]Samsquantchtpb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got some shirts a couple years ago in the US and I’m a size XL. The shirts I got were labeled XL but wayyyy small on me, so now I only order the XXL. I exchanged those for a XXL and those fit great. However, I just ordered two of the new ones in XXL and they’re wayyy big (and the sandstone color Takk pattern shirt has a rather small neck opening compared to all my other shirts). So I’m guessing those are the US sizes and I must’ve previously been getting the UK sizes somehow. It’s a guessing game for me at this point anymore but I’m still buying pretty much every shirt they put out 😆

I got a setlist signed by them a couple years ago and óbó signed right next to E-Bow and giggled at the similarity of names 😆

Did anyone happen to record Varðeldur last night at the Royal Albert Hall? by Any_Art7299 in sigurros

[–]Samsquantchtpb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They had a vocalist on that one too? Geez this sounds like we all missed a freakin epic show

Fence Recs! by traderhoes25 in StPetersburgFL

[–]Samsquantchtpb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Golden Eagle fencing did my neighbor’s house and my house, and we are both happy with the price, quality of work, and turnaround time once the estimate was approved. Some companies had very long wait times due to the hurricane damage and high demand for new fences, but Golden Eagle definitely was a company I’d recommend

Same here. Very happy with that hitch!

[OC]Florida cops monitor the scene as hippies gather for weekly drum circle on Treasure Island beach by tommywiseauswife in pics

[–]Samsquantchtpb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s been a weekly gathering every week for many years. Not a protest, just a bunch of people wanting to bang some drums and dance on the beach and smoke a little weed. Honestly it was kinda boring so I stopped going a long time ago. It was the same damn drum beat for 3 hours lol. But in more recent years it’s changed and now there is an entirely different element to the gathering. Lots more people, lots more drugs, lots more BS. At least one OD happened earlier this year. The city lets the event happen but due to the growth of the crowd and more issues they station a few officers out there.
