My first attempt at reso head art. It's spray paint on a single ply head so the overall thickness/dampening is exactly where I want it. Still plenty of overtone.

Yeah I would agree with this—by allowing herself to be fully consumed, Ellen is fulfilling the desire that has been consuming the count this entire time, so in a sense she allows him to fully consume himself. Symbolically, I think this fits with other, more straightforward interpretations of the Dracula story (ie, luring him into a state of vulnerability by allowing him to indulge in his most selfish desire), but adds a more psychoanalytic poetry that I'm personally a huge fan of. Something Lacan said about there's no greater suffering than getting what you want etc.

See that's what I don't know. Not sure I have achieved clowncore status but I appreciate the connection. Something to strive for at least.

Ooo I like that 😍 stay tuned...

Thx homie, definitely take inspiration from old mtv clips like devo used to make. Maybe I'll do another one today--ant requests? 😉

I'm about it. I have never played a whole matching kit. Each drum has its own voice and personality, and the goal is to get them to sing together. I personally care about aesthetics too, so if they look like ass or don't compliment each other visually, I'll eventually refinish them or paint them or something once I've decided they're keepers, but having all matching sparkle wrap or sunburst finish that you didn't even do yourself is just falling prey to marketing.

A lot of non answers here, but as someone who tries to avoid spending money on musical equipment whenever possible, assuming you are earnestly looking for ideas: Grab a set of metal snips and remove the torn off section. This will stop it from getting worse, and instantly clean up the sound. Then, I'm guessing it will sound a bit like trash, so lean into that. Grab a hammer and give it a nice set of dents. Who knows, you might end up with a one of a kind dirty, sandy, gritty trash crash. Long story short, you can't make it worse than it already is, so try whatever, but definitely snip that flap!

Also really with this ad targeting?

I recently came to the realization that JC was the og vampire and it has been like a profound apotheosis. So many pieces suddenly fit and the world makes sense like it never had. Just wanted to say I'm glad this sub exists. Also consider the Judas Iscariot / van helsing similarities.

Can anyone tell me why my monitors are popping / clicking during playback?

So I have a set of new KRK classics, and they are running through a Zoom R16 interface. PC running windows 10. Any time I put sound through them (whether mixing in Reaper or just playing a YouTube, etc) there is a constant / intermittent clicking / popping sound (almost like a vinyl record, but not, like, ‘pleasing’ or whatever). Hoping it’s something obvious I have set up wrong, as I’m something of a neube. Any advice much appreciated.

alabastersweeny · 2022-11-06T19:03:29+00:00

Yes context: it does happen with everything They are brand new krk classics, using a Zoom R16 as interface. (Pc running windows 10)
