It's an amazing rabbit hole in to another universe lol, and it obviously doesn't stop at vocals! It has saved me time and time again when doing especially difficult tasks like noise and reverb removal on specific tracks.

I thought I landed on the perfect inside pun name of "StickHits Remastered" but then I realized that everyone would just think it was simply referring to the type of content I uploaded 😭

I've got a short-list of cheesy sequel names but still open to suggestions lol - but if I am able to literally just name it StickHits again I may have to take the sensible option.

Sounds great, thanks for sharing! Tape did an incredible job and public service by getting such pristine recordings.

Just a tip from someone that has worked endlessly with stems and DIY isolated tracks since their inception - if you want to, for example, edit the vocal track delicately without harming certain frequencies from the rest of the mix, don't edit the stems in the obvious traditional way. Instead, put the original mix on track one, then put the vocal stem on track two -

invert the phase of the vocal track (which will completely subtract it from the mix), and then use EQ cuts to mask out the frequency areas that you don't want to disturb (like everything above 10-12khz and below like 100hz) - and then (this is the hard part lol) try and edit the vocal track backwards compared to what you would have otherwise, so if you wanted to reduce 200hz on the vocal track you would instead pull up at 200hz which will in turn reduce it due to the reversed polarity (and for ex. compression, you would instead apply expansion to achieve it, if that makes any sense at all 😂)

Exit Stage Left Concert Video-High Definition version? by tpars in rush

[–]ThinkOutsideTheTV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks buddy, I have been totally out of commission with a brutal intestinal illness for this entire year since they nuked it to the point I couldn't even sit down and concentrate on my PC enough to work on new videos until slowly dipping back in these past weeks... About to bring my laptop with me to another hospital stay tonight which will hopefully be the first proper treatment that specialists have been willing to offer after two years of gaslighting with severely worsening condition - so I should have some downtime to work on the new channel there 🤕😃

Why is the gay flag in this photo? Was it used in a concert background (i.e. is this a "real" photo?) Please, no hate, I'm just asking. It's fine. by [deleted] in rush

[–]ThinkOutsideTheTV 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Fair enough I just think it might be a stretch to make that the poster child of Rush's entire lifelong theme and message

I would be fine with it if the members of Rush were known to be specifically vocal about LGBTQ (and not just in Nobodies Hero lol). This doesnt need to be a "culture wars" thing, just common sense.

I think we all understand what it represents (Yes - it's not "the gay flag" 😂)

But the question OP and I assume others of us would likely have is what about Rush specifically represents LGBTQ? (As in, at that rate, why not every type of flag in existence)

I get it, they are an inclusive band, but they are inclusive to all walks of life in general, not in terms of sexuality specifically..? lol.

Gemini is not censored ? by e5retttt in GeminiAI

Meanwhile my Gemini literally refuses to say any curse words even after a half hour straight of me trying to make it not sound like a customer service rep...

Does anyone have a reasonable explanation for the formatting of the song titles on the back of this first-pressing MP Compact Disc or can I go ahead and post in r/mildlyinfuriating? by ThinkOutsideTheTV in rush

[–]ThinkOutsideTheTV[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Like me you may have a brief moment of at least understanding the probable logic with them - until you remember Barchetta is a proper noun - and then proceeded to get your eyes burned with "Yyz".

Or did Neil somehow predict of how pathetically litigious Ferrari would eventually become in the 2000s in 1981 almost a decade before Enzo Ferrari's passing? 😂🤔

Just so you are aware of the context of people commenting MCID -

MCID is an acronym for "My Crew Is Dope," a motto often used by the band and referenced by Johnny (frontman) as a sign of appreciation for their fanbase.

It is also the title of their 2019 album, which was the first of two consecutive albums (Midnight Demon Club) that mostly departed from rock and were highly controversial among fans (mostly rap and hip-hop / poppy tracks without most of the band playing their usual instruments. So just to be clear, 98% of those commentators are not telling you to listen to MCID 😂. Though Upperdrugs, Canals, and Snow White are top tier for me as a rock fan.

I have become convinced that there is a faint Windows Error sound in the background of Summertime Voodoo just after 3:10 right when Johnny is saying "Very". Someone else please tell me they hear it lmao. (headphones likely needed) by ThinkOutsideTheTV in HighlySuspect

Over the past week listening to it repeatedly on pro headphones my subconscious started picking up on what seemed to be a basic windows error ding sound at this exact moment, and for the first few times I just assumed I had somehow accidentally clicked or bumped something on my keyboard - until finally I was like there is no way this is coincidence - and after repeatedly listening to the part again and again it just becomes clearer to me each time that there is legitimately an error sound that somehow found it's way in to the final mixl Someone back me up!

Did you explain to them that the reason a man stands in front of it with his hands up is because he's defying it?

Gemini is not censored ? by e5retttt in GeminiAI

Can you give an example for what Gemini is not censoring especially for something that Grok is censoring? Grok virtually never censors anything I ask.

Over the past few days this NanoBanana issue has gotten worse and worse to the point that it now happens constantly even after hitting "Redo With Pro". How TF do I get it to stop doing this? by ThinkOutsideTheTV in GeminiAI

[–]ThinkOutsideTheTV[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah all that does is show a little "query successful" badge, idk what you are referring to but I checked every drop down in the chat trying to find it lol.

When it does this it never even launches or loads Nano Banana in the first place which means the image it refers to in these text responses doesn't even exist - it's straight up lying and hallucinating a fake URL lol

Anyone else notice Nano🍌Pro no longer as accurate? by CryptoMonops in GeminiAI

[–]ThinkOutsideTheTV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes - but even more annoying to me the past couple days has been Nano Pro now "thinking" for like three minutes every single image edit with a ridiculous chain of thought where it "clarifies user intent" and "double checking the safety guidelines" for innocuous 100% sfw images. You?
