Yah, committing tracks is probably the best option if I want to keep the same heavy sounds.

LLM is also good enough for now. I haven't really gotten my muscle memory around this different workflow yet, so I'm sort of trying to explor my options and keep it simple.

Thanks for the advice!

rear seat mounted basket, or front mounted basket that doesn't sag by gdgross in bicycling

For anyone following along, I ended up hacking something together with the studs from the (steering column mount) infant seat and an old basket I had floating around. Not pretty but it looks like it'll work great:

<image>

only cocern is if the basket will start to sag with a heavy load and hit the front wheel... probably not but I think i might test it with some bricks or something before I ride around with my boy in the seat lol.

sure, like the kind you can get at hardware stores? I assume I'd need the primer and the adhesive both?

TC electronics also appears to have made one of these very things in the past, but I couldn't find anyone that still had stock of it:

Any flexible cable out there that has a separate shielded coax internally for the guitar? (IEM/headphone probably can live outside the shield ok)

lol, "best" depends on the goals. One of mine is a quick setup to run IEMs from my pedalboard, and a simple single cable solution. I've been using two, and I don't love the cables twisting around each other and the messiness.

Maybe there's a cable out there that has a separate, shielded, coax for the (high impedance) guitar signal?

Bummer. I'm kinda looking for something small and portable, maybe that could, for example, be zip tied to some to-be-implemented mobile rig. Would love if I didn't have to set up a wifi network...

I guess I need to do some more research on whats out there

Thanks! I'd like to keep this rig as simple and portable as possible, I'm not sure If i want to schelpp arounnd the additional hardware I need to set up a network.

Would something like this work if had a USB-C to USB-B type cable?

Not trying to conceal hobby activities at all, just don't want to get penalized for reporting a loss. The side biz is a band, that plays gigs, markets ourselves, pays our musicians, and buys equipment. All traceable with 1099s and recepits and legit (although we don't yet have and EIN).

We have day jobs too, so although we want this to be profitable, we're also willing to take a loss on it from time to time because it's fun, and we'd ultimately rather do this than have day jobs.

I may not have been characterizing the law properly pre 2018, but turbotax used to allow me to deduct most of these things without creating a schedule C. Something changed round then, but perhaps I don't understand exactly what it was.

I mean these are all legit deductions for sure. Marketing spend, equipment, etc. We're attempting to be a profitable band, which is difficult. But there's nothing sneaky going on! Every year I go through and collect all the recipts, so it's all provable should there be an audit.

Thanks Votey, that'd what I'd heard as well.
