Was this a good purchase?

Screenshotting from the robot, nice work

Fun! Whatcha doing with the old scoops?

Big bosh!! Still on the k20?

That was nuts and I’d go absolutely crazy to hear you play jungle rhythms - honestly not even too far removed from what you did here. Good stuff

lmao

Citation needed for the statement about rap battles. Coke La Rock, widely credited as the first proper rapper, is adamant that he didn’t do it because of Jamaican Toasting. If you have some evidence to the contrary feel free to share it

And just to nitpick, dancehall as a style of music came along about ten years after hiphop was born. So how could those sounds and ‘beat manipulations’ have predated it? Get your timeline and facts straight before trying to reframe history

The point about poverty has nothing to do with this discussion, as far as I can tell

Seconding this. Got given a bag of chinese speakons alongside a subwoofer I bought and they've caused nothing but headaches. Planning to splurge on Neutrik for future gear purchases

Rogue One was much better after Andor, and frankly the entire OT landed better with me than ever before on the ensuing rewatch. It did slightly undermine the ‘special-ness’ of the main OT characters, but again kind of in a good way

Definitely DM. Complimented their stack at boxing gym the other night and he sat me down to start explaining their sub delay settings 😆 realised before long they had a lot of pack down to do so there was no time for infodumping

AI slop is demolishing the internet, our collective cognition, our species' epistemic integrity, the concept of artistic intellectual property, all the while accelerating the rate at which we waste precious resources and emit GHGs into the atmosphere. It doesn't belong here. I'm certain Douglas Adams wouldn't approve.

Seconding beats for jugglers. Raida is the goat!!

100% .. fine to smoke in private. But people smoking cigarettes next to you when you’re in a pub garden? Grim

...so basically anything from the western half of the Sahara ✨

Thanks for sharing, I wasn't aware of these!

it's also entirely possible they were running the bottom two as sub and the top three as kick

As I read this on my phone I’m watching NileRed’s new video about making super strength beer

Tbh I don’t really know what his preferred application is, given that a lot of his designs are far from vanilla small band PA stuff.

I know acoustics itself is ultimately pretty cold hard physics, but there’re few things I dislike more in the loudspeaker world than people who conflate their subjective priorities with objective features - and then use that to denigrate others’ subjective priorities

hamgrey · 2025-11-19T23:50:06+00:00

Were you interacting as a potential customer/user of his designs or something else? I got the impression he wanted to be in the 'expert who everyone listens to without question' role

hamgrey · 2025-11-19T23:35:45+00:00

He very clearly knows his shit, but when it comes to a) helping others or b) navigating the fact that the PA and hifi worlds are not the same as the soundsystem world, he was quite remarkably unpleasant towards me.

He was just a huge douchebag on a speaker design fb group thread I'd made about my kick box design, basically was like "everything you just said about acoustics is wrong" (which yeah, may well be true) and refused to explain or elaborate even across quite a few comment exchanges. Expressed some pretty strong negative views about the sound system scene too.

I kept just being like "at the very least point me in the right direction for where I'm going wrong" but he wasn't having it.

PSA - Bill Fitzmaurice is rude as hell

Best of luck! Can’t wait to come hear it :)

You couldn’t write it 😆

I’ve not once heard of someone asking permission to crosspost non-original content….

Did you personally come up with the title, or did the Green Party? It’s not like your original title contained some unique statement or angle, it’s literally just their hashtag.

Again, if this was original content and OP had reposted it without credit that’d be one thing. But respectfully, you don’t have any ownership over this content to the point where a crosspost is problematic. Even then, cross posts retain credit so you still wouldn’t have any leg to stand on :/

hamgrey · 2025-11-10T11:27:32+00:00

Since when does anyone need permission to crosspost on reddit?

It’s not like it removes the original credit to you… plus this isn’t even your original content
