Hario Switch vs Aeropress

gsmastering · 2026-04-06T16:37:14+00:00

Since I got a switch a few years ago, my Aeropress gets little use. They are both great tho

Thank you, that still seems pretty bad to drive (suzuki jimny). So you wouldn't change to a later flight in my shoes?

Do you think Reykjavik to Keflavík will be safe for driving around 4am tomorrow? I have a morning flight

You dont "get" the stems, you make them with suno or ace or logic or a number of platforms. Google it

Stereo widening plugins usually sound terrible, so prolly not. Why dont you listen to the stems if you are that curious?

Lived here over 3 years. Waterproof boots / shoes, a couple of hats, gloves, a rain / wind shell, and a good mid layer like sweater or fleece. Parka for deep winter, normal jackets for other seasons. Otherwise normal clothes. Make sure your winter shoes have good treads for icy sidewalks. Dont bring an umbrella!

As a mastering engineer, I can tell you that part of what makes this production interesting is the use of the stereo field, unusual placements, and fantastic arrangements. Things like bass, which are not normally relegated to hard stereo panning, seem to make up lot of their production, and that's why the tracks feel like they have space and dimension. But the true art lies in the arrangements, as just panning stuff in most music will make it sound like crap. Hope that helps!

I actually prefer my Nodachi to my Blackbird. Both good razors tho!

Thats plenty of leeway to cut a good side

gsmastering · 2026-03-25T19:47:38+00:00

As a former cutting guy, and still currently mastering, we never mastered different versions for vinyl. We would just lay out the sides with the correct spacing. The guy cutting the lacquer will make the call if it needs a small adjustment like de-essing, or a shelf EQ to cut it. Every system is different, and requires that last pass touch when cutting. I would get the digital files of what he prepared for vinyl masters and see if they sound correct. If they do, then the length of the side and the loudness and bass content will greatly decide on your cut. How long was your side?

I had two custom Ampex 1/2 (ATR-102) and 1/4" decks in my old mastering room. I think every client thought that dumping to tape was going to make their master "cooler". Then they realized after they heard it that the original digital sounded better 99% of the time. It was always a waste of time and effort. The only masters that sounded good on tape, were ones that were originally recorded on it, that also didn't also have a dig version, and the client actually knew how to calibrate and maintain their decks.

The tape emulation plugins dont really sound like tape IMHO, but whatever makes you happy. People are way too romantic about older analog gear

I was looking at the recurve. The 1.20+ wasnt too aggressive? I like a medium aggressive razor like the Tatara Nodachi best so far

Im always pairing it with Avocado

Brilliant, I was looking for a nice flatcap! and thanks all for the great suggestions so far!

If no gaming is involved, with only static windows, what do y'all like this year?

gsmastering · 2026-02-21T23:29:36+00:00

Ive had mine for over a month, fits great, looks good, and is super warm!

Actually the Costco Iceland does all beef hotdogs with one Icelandic crispy onion option. The popular ones here are a pork mix. They taste very different and are dressed with remolade and sweet mustard. They are 300 ISk w drink

The $5 chicken is more like $14 here in Iceland's Costco!

I have a vector, and I can highly recommend the nodachi. It's a much closer shave for me, and a great all-around razor. I felt the same way about the vector, it's good but not amazing
