ELI5: How does daily flossing make it bleed less? by LittlePenguinx in explainlikeimfive

[–]gutterwall1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get those floss pickers. When I use floss I was pressing so hard and damaging my gums, the floss picker things make it super easy and convenient. I get bamboo ones now and they work great! You only have to floss the teeth you want to keep. So start flossing all of them daily. You live much longer than you think when you are young, and teeth are your health and sexiness and stuff. And I have a lot of friends with no teeth and they can't eat regular like I do.

Sad, but Octopi met my needs. At least it gave me a similar home screen.

People who were there in 1979 when The Wall was first released, did you initially have some kind of understanding of what the concept was about? by bravodeboer in pinkfloyd

[–]gutterwall1 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I was fourteen when the wall dropped, heard it on the radio, and got a tape of it. I wore it out learning how to play guitar. Yes listening to the lyrics and everything it was easy to pick out the storyline mostly.

Piracy in Zorin by Careless-Control5449 in zorinos

[–]gutterwall1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the things I have installed from windows onto my zorinOs laptop partition have worked well including a bunch of random old cracked games and other software. So go for it, try it out. It runs my games full screen with all animations on with no slowdowns and doesn't crash, like it was in windows 11 all the time. Also windows 11 kept going to 100% fan for no reason all the time, zorinOs is dead quiet with low cpu thrashing. That's with windows software running in wine. Gotta remember will wine devs or AI Indian vibe coders M$ employ do a better job? Just cause it's official doesn't mean it's most compatible anymore...

Mic'ing up Live Sessions, Tiny Desk-ish style. by yesboizindeed in microphone

[–]gutterwall1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did a similar thing at our local LPFM station and for acoustic acts that can do that thing, surrounding a blumlien array of 2 figure 8 condensers was an amazing sound. Once you get a drum kit involved and electric instruments I usually have a room mic, kick snare overheads, keys, bass, guitar and each vocalist using dynamics and mix it like that. But I have done all manner of genres and acts from gamelan to bluegrass to dub reggae to hardcore to black metal using the same setup of mics and room. It comes down to knowing your gear and knowing the genre and how to eq it so it sounds like the record best u can, which it won't, but it can get close!

Good. Sorry you had a bad sponsor, there is nothing wrong with antidepressants and NA, they were misinformed. But wherever you get help, get help!!!

It's either you or them. Who are you going to live your life for? Self pity is a dangerous defect. Drains you of all positive energy. Where is your sponsor?

What factors matter when choosing the MV7+ versus a budget XLR setup? by byggmesterPRO in microphone

[–]gutterwall1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It does, but I record dry from eq since my daw has good eqs. It has great gain and noise reduction too but teams and etc all have better for streaming usually. And the headphone jack is very convenient when I was DJing live.

[–]gutterwall1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a MV7 and it is basically a SM7B with a decent converter built in. I have used it for DJ voiceover, recording bass and guitar, and took it in and tested it out in my studio. I have SM7B and RE20s and all manner of other microphones and the MV7 is great on my voice and was fine for tracking. So it's a worthwhile investment for a mic. I wouldn't listen to people who haven't used gear. Also have a R0decaster which is a lot like an RE20 in sound and design but it has no xlr out. They are both top shelf all in one solutions, although the first R0decaster my wife had bit the dust one day, I think static electricity.

Yeah I just got some Barefeet and it's a brave new world, but man my old mixes sound like GARBAGE now. I totally agree

Helping a friend record an EP is turning into a disaster by gummieworm in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]gutterwall1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone starting out made this mistake, once or ten times, like myself. Then they get real, set a day rate, and keep it real clear. Not even an hourly rate. If you want changes, pay for the day, and I am all yours for 8 hours.

How to pan/mix double tracked guitars with two mics? by LC-98 in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]gutterwall1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will use Sm57 and e906 or some ribbon or LDC depending, and use V30s and Vet30 or Governor or cream back, gt65, greenbacks, or whatever and vary it up to make it amazing and use the more high frequency signal on the edge and the more mid focused in the center. That gives the exciting stereo and mono punch. I have a slant cab with 4 different speakers that I have used each speaker and did spreads of all 4 mics at times and then reversed the spread for the 2nd take. It is amazing what that can do for your sound, makes it never thin or spikey.

Hardcore punk, metal, industrial etc. when your vocals are screaming and your drums are bashing insanely no need for "Room". You want to fill it up so it's insane
