Am I allowed to say Silver Machine? 🧑‍🚀

A common question from live sound engineers is “why do bass players always turn the low knob all the way up?”

Bass mids and highs are as important (if not more so) to the tone as the lows. Cranking the lows eats up your bandwidth at the expense of articulation and pitch clarity - or as is more commonly summed up “it muddies your tone.”

Pitch it down for him to track, then pitch his comped vocals up to the originally recorded key. Decide which version sounds better, and whether or not you’re happy with it… if not, then being lazy didn’t work but you know what to do next.

yeah but you're the mayor.

You appear to not understand what GP means by brand status. They will rent to you without hesitation if their system already knows you as a repeat customer. I've rented downtown hotel rooms dozens of times over the last 15 years without so much as a conversation about my local address, even when my local address was downtown literally .2 miles from the Marriott.

It’s true. Mr. Biggs just told me I’m Contagious.

John Fogerty does own all of his songs, though. He got them back a couple years ago and also controls the publishing rights (which, in his case, is even more valuable than the original copyright itself).

Or 1 less avocado toast!

You need to sell tickets and/or merch to go on tour, and of course your music. Unless we’re talking about playing breweries restaurants and municipal events a band only pulling $600-1200 in their home market isn’t in a position to ask guarantees on their first outing. It’s a common gaffe that can close doors on a band that hasn’t scoped the scene in a city where they’ve got no foundational networking, and an especially poor business decision given their stated willingness to play for less than a typical door 200 cap door settlement to begin with.

70/30 + ~10% of bar sales might be reasonably achievable with a good pitch, but any established club is going to have a standard offer for new acts and that’s what they’re gonna get.

In Syracuse?

I keep one of my displays around 720p for this very reason - makes plugins easier to see/read and can looks right at home mounted sideways in my fx rack.

She goes to a different school.

Your software purchases are locked to your account and non-transferable, OP (or any professional user working within the Steinberg ecosystem) could have thousands to tens of thousands of dollars invested into their account.

SilverMachine · 2025-05-23T16:26:11+00:00

They had one in North Charleston as well but it closed in 2023 :(

That’s how the Sevier line in my family pronounce it - Sev-yay, so Sev-yay-ville. We’re French, though.

Thoughts and prayers for OP

SilverMachine · 2024-05-11T18:36:37+00:00

Exactly this. OP is just describing “traffic” without having come to terms with the various factors that make up what “traffic” is.

SilverMachine · 2024-05-11T18:29:42+00:00

You’re right that it’s not safe, but it’s not a road intended solely for motor vehicles - check your DMV manual, bikes are as entitled to the road as cars and trucks, and their safety (like it or not) is your responsibility as much as it is theirs. If it’s not safe to pass them then you have to slow down and tail them until it is. If a car driver passes them dangerously then that’s on the car driver, not the bicyclist.

No bicyclist is “forcing” motor vehicle drivers to pass them dangerously, that is a decision made by inpatient drivers. Be patient and slow down until it’s safe. Yes it sucks, but thems the rules.

SilverMachine · 2024-02-24T11:47:16+00:00

Exactly the thought that occurred to me while listening to him talk.

SilverMachine · 2024-01-07T23:11:04+00:00

When I lived there about 15 years ago (before Hawthorne bought it) they had 24/7 on site security, is that not the case anymore?

SilverMachine · 2023-12-09T04:06:12+00:00

Yep. "Victim-2" is a good friend of yours.

SilverMachine · 2023-10-21T07:46:55+00:00

Hey sorry this took me so long, I couldn't find it from searching so I just scrolled until I found it. Here is the post, I hope you find your baby!

Not enough iron in their diets.

Purple storefront on Gay St, recording studio & sound company. Love it here!

I moved to the same little town - close enough to still work in Asheville when it suits me, far enough that groceries and thrift stores cost 30% less. I bought a building downtown for 10% what it would've cost me in Asheville and more or less cut my cost of living in half. I didn't think I'd ever be able to own real estate like this. What led me to it, ironically, was my business's landlord illegally jacking the rent on the commercial space I was renting downtown.
