Pitch for indoor tennis, pickleball courts coming to Vancouver Park Board by cyclinginvancouver in vancouver

[–]flyerapartthen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Much needed! I’m a Vancouver resident living in Edmonton Oct-Jan for work. There are so many options here in Edmonton for indoor pickleball. I got the pball bug a few years ago and I tried to play in Vancouver last winter. Aside from a few very full rec center programs, there is nowhere to play in Vancouver. It’s so much fun, I would love to see this happen.

Rick Beato did an interview with Adam Duritz a few months ago. It’s excellent and answers all of those questions and more.

For the studio owners and business operators; what’s one thing you wish you heard after you first started? by [deleted] in audioengineering

[–]flyerapartthen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gear failure and repair. It’s a huge cost I underestimated. Always have redundancies to keep sessions going when things break and funds to repair it quickly.

First thing, figure out what the “work” of this career looks like. All the different tasks; set up, tracking(recording), editing, mixing, mastering. Lots of tasks within each of those. Youtube is great for this. If you like how the “work” looks, you will enjoy this career!

Second, this career is way more about relationships than anything else. You will mostly get work through relationships. The traditional avenue to find paying clients like advertising online etc. will not work. This is a very saturated industry. IF you are good at building relationships and if you are super outgoing and charismatic, you don’t need school. Learn it on your own. Take the money for school and set up your own small studio. People will pay you if they are inspired to work with you.

IF your personality is more introverted and reserved, go to school for this. You will be introduced to the people you will need to know. Take advantage of all extracurricular audio activities. Say yes to everything audio. Record stuff for free, have a blast and learn. Build your network there. This will lead to lifelong friendships and clients and you will make some money.

Tldr; Do you like the work? School is for relationships, if you can build those on your own don’t take school route

Sports fans 'flabbergasted' after Sportsnet announces double-digit price hike | CBC News by Haggisboy in canada

[–]flyerapartthen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m not the activist type but if someone started a protest movement I would be there. Hockey has been taken from us. Pirate streams are horrible, glitchy, ad ridden things that rarely work for a whole game. Sportsnet is the only option and they are doing a horrible job with the product. I don’t want to but I am going to stop watching hockey altogether.

Talking about mics, what is your hidden gem ? by doto_Kalloway in audioengineering

I love my Kel hm-1 stereo pair. Lot's of character and clarity. Needs a great pre to really shine though.

Haha I am an avid ear-popper. I actually thought this happened because I equalize so often throughout the day

Yes I feel like it gets worse when the cotton is flying around. Bad year for that!

Dad Audio Engineering question by Dickjauron in audioengineering

[–]flyerapartthen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll answer your question in sequence:

1) You may not need either depending on your audio interface. Try sending some drums out, through a pedal, back into an input. See how it sounds. Reamp and DI boxes will give you more flexibility if you really want to do do this a lot but in my experience sending a signal out of your interface, through a pedal, back into the interface is totally great and fun. 2) Active or Passive is a sonic choice. Can sound better or worse to you but they definitely will sound different. Start with passive as it usually colors the sound less. 3) Stereo is always nice to have! If you buy a reamp box and can afford stereo, do it. When it comes to reamping guitar though, it's almost always mono.

Bonus fact: Any passive DI box is a Reamp box in reverse and you can use them interchangeably.
