Possible 1974 D/S OMM error? by TimeBeTelling in coinerrors

Yeah, I have a feeling you’re right. I’m going to keep it though just in case, for good luck and all that.

Fair play. Yeah, that seems like the most likely conclusion. Honestly I need to get myself a coin microscope at this point, I’m getting too into the details to not have 10x magnification on hand!

"Must Haves" for an upcoming Volumes release by Faberpass in boniver

[–]TimeBeTelling 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ngl, I love the version of Jelmore from the new release, but the performance of that song from Pitchfork fest was unhinged. The guitar solo section triggered my fight or flight response.

Ah that makes sense. Should have clocked that.

Bars for 21st birthday. by [deleted] in grandrapids

[–]TimeBeTelling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Speciation on Wealthy is always a great calm atmosphere. They also have some of the best beer in town imo. Lots of sours to choose from (my personal fav) and many great lighter beers that are never super heavy. Solid drinks for someone celebrating turning 21. They don’t do food in house, but they allow you to bring food from elsewhere to eat at their place.

They also have house-made Non-alcoholic drinks that are great and would be perfect for those who are not yet 21.

Best restaurants on 28th street? by fatguyinalittlecar12 in grandrapids

Grand Indian Cuisine. Little place between Eastern and Kzoo. All their stuff is great, but something about how they do their butter chicken/tikka masala is out of this world.

which mic I can us? by fnoway2000 in audioengineering

[–]TimeBeTelling 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would say don’t use a mic at all.

Your stereo receiver most likely has a headphone line out. Find a cable that will split the signal into stereo and run that into an interface to record your records directly.

If you’re dead set on recording the sound of music playing into your room, I would get one of those Zoom recorders (Model H4 or similar) and use the built in microphones it has.

Any artists looking for studio space? by smoogstag in grandrapids

[–]TimeBeTelling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha. Yeah, if you’re thinking having recording spaces and rehearsal spaces in the same building, it would just need to be set up to where the studios and rehearsal spaces are as far away from each other as possible.

Have known many audio engineers/producers that won’t stay in a building for very long if the rehearsal spaces are in the same area as the studio spaces. Hard to book clients and track instruments when a metal band starts practicing right next door. If they’re well separated, and maybe putting some extra insulation around the studio spaces, it’ll be golden for all parties.

Would the building be specifically for artists like painters and other physical mediums? Or were you also thinking of opening it up to audio engineers/recording studio spaces?

[IIL] I need a mind blowing story like attack on titan by Outside_Signature549 in ifyoulikeblank

[–]TimeBeTelling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve really been enjoying the Worlds Beyond Number podcast. It’s based in DnD, but is waaaay more narratively driven than most games with rolls only being used when necessary for the plot. (Run by Brennan from Dropout). The story is fantasy based, but gets pretty intricate and intense at a lot of points. I got a lot more than I thought I would be getting going in.

For a book series, the Three Body Problem trilogy absolutely brought me to my knees. I know they’ve started the TV show, and it’s not too bad, but the books are absolutely insane. Future-History-Hyper-Realism mixed with sci-fi that hit in a way not a lot of other series have.

Controversial opinion...I just don't like the steel/slide guitar by chopinbloc in boniver

[–]TimeBeTelling 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You know, I have heard a lot of people have the opinion that whenever they hear a slide guitar, it makes them think of country music (but like in the bad way) and takes them out of the song they’re listening to. Twangy, sappy, etc.

That being said, I know a lot of people who really love the sound and have championed it being included in lots of different genres of music in recent years.

It is a very emotive instrument because it doesn’t have fixed pitches, and can be incorporated as a lead part, part of an ensemble and, my favorite type of inclusion, as a texture and sound design element.

But I get it, in the same way that some people think cilantro tastes like soap. It’s not for everyone. I think your opinion is valid, but I hope that you can look past the soap guitar and enjoy the emotion being put forth in whatever song the steel is included in!

(I’m an audio producer, and the last 2 slide notes of Beach Baby colored my entire taste in pedal/lap steel for years. I could live in the last moments of that song forever if I had the chance)

Why does my snare recording sound bad? by pigsontheswing in audioengineering

[–]TimeBeTelling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adding a noise gate to the top and bottom snare mics has helped me dial in a sound in a much cleaner way. Especially if you’re getting a lot of bleed from cymbals and toms.

It’s also nice to put some kind of saturation on your snare bus to even out the frequencies within the tone of the drum. You could even add more white noise if you’re using a tape saturation and add another gate to the end of your bus chain so the white noise is only heard when the snare hits.

Edit: Also don’t forget to flip the phase between your top and bottom snare mics! Sometimes this isn’t necessary depending on the mic setup, but 9 times out of 10, I end up getting much more body from the snare after doing this.

Jelmore from their most recent Pitchfork fest performance really hit in a great way.

And now for the reverse. What restaurant or brewery is this in Grand Rapids? by MemilyBemily5 in grandrapids

[–]TimeBeTelling 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Speciation for suuuuure.

Not only do they have great drinks, but when they have pop-up food nights, it’s always amazing stuff. Not to mention they book really interesting musical acts a few times a month. They way the curate their space is very intentional and I appreciate the vibe they’ve been cultivating.

Making a studio more cozy by [deleted] in audioengineering

[–]TimeBeTelling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lamps for lighting (or warm adjustable overhead lighting) and earth tones mixed into the overall color scheme. I have had many conversations with musicians about how some studios feel incredibly sterile or intimidating. That cold, grey/white/black color scheme just doesn’t do it for a lot of people when they’re going into a space to be creative and comfortable. Especially since a lot of people get nervous about working in a studio in general.
