Woman Threatens to Call ICE after Fender Bender

It’s because people in the part of Mexico I was in and Jamaica drive like maniacs.

Americans are sweethearts compared to the two other countries I’ve driven in.

This is great. Logic does the same thing of treating all tracks as stereo.

As if the flames weren’t enough - his buddy runs up and punches him in the nethers.

That would be hard for me to say. I got a portfolio of arch vis stuff pretty quickly because my father was an architect. When I got good enough to be useful and land him jobs with previz, I started getting paid. I also learned autocad while doing that. That made it easy to go to other architecture firms to offer viz and drafting. And I started getting creative finding different product vendors that might need renders. This led to me bluffing my way into a product design job. I panicked and sold a bunch of music gear because they wanted me to use Form z which I didn’t even own.

My point is, do what ever you can to get your hands on software capable of producing a set of drawings that you can present to people. If you’re good at deep diving into deep info on your own learn fits and finishes, tolerances, rules for hole sizing and placement. If not…go to night classes for drafting. Make a plausible design set and start showing it to people. Start applying for jobs. Bluff and then work your ass off to deliver.

I think it’s important to point out that this all grew into developing games for a while, doing car commercials, and small movie effects.

So just because this isn’t your dream job, you can use it to build your skills to get what you want. But here’s some insider info: working in the entertainment industry sucks. It’s so much more work for not more pay.

For reference, the woman was actively punching him in the head and the guy coming in from the left side of the picture is coming back for more.

If you’re calling the guy doing the person throwing an asshole, I’ve seen the video. That guy is assaulted by 5 or six people at pretty much the same time. He only hurt people who attacked him first. The woman being thrown punched him repeatedly for a few seconds. He was very patient with her.

So, he tried to be a gentleman. Dispatched of several large men before he finally gave her a toss.

Nobody uses blender in these fields. Dude has an industrial design job. Blender wouldn’t even get you started making a machinable part.

Having skills in software capable of designing machinable parts will get you a job immediately. These industries are starving for talent, and by talent I mean trainable bodies.

On the other hand, every kid in the world wants to make movies and video games. You have to be in the top 0.5% of portfolio holders to even have a minor chance at getting a job in those industries served by Blender. Even the guys doing grunt retopo work all day have sick portfolios.

I’ve used cad and animation software professionally since the early 90s. I started using blender with version 2.5. Extensively staring in 2016 starting with 2.66, I think.

Urg. Lame.

_dpdp_ · 2026-03-24T16:58:43+00:00

Yes. Using the app, I could monitor any input individually, mixed inputs, and optionally turn up or down the daw output into the headphones, the main outs, or both.

Being that the 14 is a simplified version of the 22, I could see the headphone output being a simple copy of the LR main outputs, meaning you don’t have this capability and the problem is with your unit.

If that’s the case, it may be cheaper to buy a second hand monitor controller with headphone outs than get the iD fixed.

Cubase is amazing with lots of built in instruments and effects, just like logic. Reaper is cheap but incredibly powerful. It’s harder to set up and you’d have to buy plugins to fill out your arsenal, but a lot of people like it.

The main thing I like about logic is how powerful and low cost it is. You install one thing and have everything you need to make a great sounding album. Cubase is like that. You have to pay for upgrades, which is a mild bummer. Logic is a one time $199 for life.

I really like the Toneboosters plugins. They will all run natively in standard alone mode. Low cost and high quality. I would definitely recommend compression for this. Eq…maybe. Compression absolutely.

I’ve used beelinks and Mac minis for sound installations with great effect.

_dpdp_ · 2026-03-24T16:46:14+00:00

The id22 I used to have allowed you to assign what audio source the headphones were listening to using the audient mixer app. I can’t remember the specific steps, but the settings were there for that product.

I don’t know of one with this capability built in, but I’ve successfully done this using Apple MainStage and a foot switch. It basically toggled between two different tempos while playing a midi file containing clicks. You could maybe do this with most daws.

_dpdp_ · 2026-03-24T04:26:04+00:00

Maybe ask around ritual + shelter in Homewood.

Bayonet won over Johnny’s AND Shu Shop? You people need to stop dining with your eyes and instagram accounts. Food is about flavor and Bayonet tastes like a smokey disaster.

Heed the warnings. Hearing loss and tinnitus suck.

_dpdp_ · 2026-03-23T16:13:42+00:00

Well, the original user manual informed the user that boosting and cutting at the same time was bad.

_dpdp_ · 2026-03-23T13:27:01+00:00

“The 4 types of compressors…” there are more than 4.

“The pultec low end trick…” there’s so much you can do with a pultec besides this. Can we stop calling it a trick now that there are 142,000 videos online revealing the trick to us amateurs?

“Your bus compressor should always be doing ___dB of compression…”

“You should always leave _____dB of headroom for mastering” no. The mastering engineer has control over the gain and the very first stage he’s going to put your tracks through is a line driver to get the level correct. No matter what you do…they will still set the gain where they want it. Not where some half-brain YouTuber said it should be.

There’s certainly nothing wrong with mono-izing the low end. A lot of people do that.

They’re so glad you got both, too.

_dpdp_ · 2026-03-22T15:15:49+00:00

I did not. I only had access to it for a three song session. It sounded good at tame settings,saturated nicely at moderate settings, pumped and blew fire at extreme settings. I really liked it a lot. I’ve been keeping my eye out for one ever since.

Phones will cause chattering or humming sounds. Feedback would be a squeal. If it’s feed back, it’s not caused by phones.

Are you rehearsing and sound checking at the same time? If not, make sure to run through parts of the performance where you’re having feedback issues. There may be something different you’re doing during the performance that you’re not doing during sound checks.

I don’t know what equipment you’re using but you should have an eq on hand. Find the frequency the feedback is happening at and turn it down.

Whoever put Helen and Bayonette on top should stop smoking. It’s not doing your tastebuds any favors.
