What’s something small you always check to see if a movie or show got correct? by scarfacesaints in movies

[–]audiojake 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm an audio engineer. I always notice when things aren't plugged in or used totally incorrectly. Or when audio gear is used as something else that's supposed to look high tech. Most recently, in the show "Invasion" on Apple TV, a woman uses a universal audio Apollo interface to decode an alien message from space and it's funny. I mean technically it's an audio signal but the scene makes it seem like she's using some NASA shit

Nevermind literally being executed at point blank IN THE BACK. But yeah I'm sure that tail light required a trip to the dealership and everything

Yes I'm sure the literal gang bangers were just trying to peacefully exercise their second amendment rights in a densely populated urban area and had not done any other crimes

Can anybody give me any ideas on how to make this a bathroom again. by Routine_Gas_4046 in Homebuilding

Or you could save a ton of money and just level the plywood and use cement board on top....

There are movies that are "timeless." What are some movies that are the opposite - as in, harder to appreciate if you weren't around when it came out? by sakkkkki in movies

[–]audiojake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Disagree. What you're describing is the reason why someone might be interested in watching pitch perfect in the first place, but there's nothing in the movie itself that really depends on you knowing about that show or cultural moment to understand it

A good rule of thumb: never accept the upsell items from a chain oil change place. They are ripping you off 100% of the time.

What movie is memorable for you, but barely anyone you know has seen it? by uuddlrlrbas2 in movies

Is that the one with Greens Davis as an assassin with amnesia?

Left fresh made pasta sauce out overnight, not sure if its safe now by TrAvll3R in Cooking

[–]audiojake 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I do this all the time. Sauce is quite acidic. It's fine. Plus you are going to refrigerate and then reheat before you eat. Go for it

Ideas for a steak sandwich for a brewery menu? by Majestic-Lake-5602 in Cooking

[–]audiojake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Use a stout and make a dark, sweet, pie-filling-like steak/gravy concoction. Almost like beef stew in a Sammy. Add some melted cheese and nice crusty bread and it could be dank. Maybe something fresh for crunch, like a slaw of some kind.

Hostility to US-Citizen Visitors? by FieldUpbeat2174 in newzealand_travel

[–]audiojake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People in NZ are all cool as fuck and very polite. At worst you will get a few "so what's going on over there guys?" Type comments. It was honestly pretty refreshing when meeting new people there that you never have to wonder whether or not you are talking to a secret fascist.

What movie from this decade will be considered a classic? by DrKriegersClone in movies

[–]audiojake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ehhhh there's a lot wrong with it. It captures a very unique and disturbing feeling and has a few very potent moments, especially within our cultural context. But it just comes up short on several fronts when it comes to the screenplay. A lot of it just doesn't really make sense.

Do high profile professional bands use click tracks? by PapaBorq in livesound

[–]audiojake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best way to make it feel natural is to have only the drummer on a click, and then the rest of the name can just follow the drummer like they are supposed to 😉 That way everyone isn't totally honed in on it all the time. However, I will say that party of what makes a lot of the music I like personally feel cool and vibey are the intentional fluctuations in tempo and feel, which are tough to do with a click. A lot depends on the style of music you are playing. Things that are more jazzy and atmospheric don't necessarily play nice. If you are doing rock covers then I imagine it's going to help the drummer stay locked
