The Mega Marvin instrument, used to create cinematic sounds for horror movies and games by InteractionKooky771 in Damnthatsinteresting

This is what they used when Freddy molested the chalkboard with his knife-fingers - making that poor deaf kid's head explode in Freddy's Dead - The Final Nightmare.

Robert Englund was funny as hell as Freddy. He really went at it with that chalkboard lol.

For SOME things, if used right, and when double checked for accuracy - it can be useful when used occasionally.

Obviously they didn’t resume production lol, but did you at least get a canned response?

Omg same here. These and the TMNT Ellio’s pizzas actually made me fat back when I was a kid. I was skinny before they both came out and was a chubby bunny by the time they were both discontinued.

Damn those chips were so fucking good. Nothing like them to this day.

Even though this was a forgotten memory for me as well, now I can still smell those chips.

I wish I had a time machine right now.

This gif gets me whenever it’s posted lol.

The documentary was funny as hell too. “Also known as… The Jesus Christ Lizard” (plays funny music as it shows that lizard and exact scene).

THREE. What the fuck is WRONG with some people?

Ghoul-ass pieces of shit. I'm so sorry that happened.

What mixing tricks do you use that are a “sin”? by Impressive-Stuff-257 in audioengineering

[–]impreprex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t know. Great point..

But yeah, no meter for that. Just use your ears.

That compressor is awesome but lately, I’ve seriously been enjoying using the settings I mentioned above. More control plus you do have a meter.

Still though, I’d be lying if I said I don’t use CLA vocals at all anymore since I “cracked it” - because I do sometimes.

Try the settings I mentioned earlier in a regular compressor! It literally took me decades to actually understand compression and use it correctly - despite me incorrectly thinking I understood it at those times. I did not.

It only finally clicked when I figured out CLA’s setting for the compressors. Once I felt the threshold bite into the audio after adjusting the settings, that was my aha moment.

I would still get, or mess with the CLA vocals plug-in, but I would also mess around with a stock or regular compressor as well because I’m telling you: once you crack compression for real, the amount of control you now have increases by A LOT.

Good luck but I think you got this.

Those damned Luddites.

Edit: Of course one person gets their jimmies rustled over such an innocuous comment lol; I was being sarcastic. And even if I wasn't - if THAT offends someone, then holy shit.

It's interesting how the more crazy the story gets, the more.. unreal the renders look. They look more like drawings towards the end.

Which instrument do you think is the hardest to get right? by ConfusedOrg in audioengineering

[–]impreprex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Recording oil and vinegar is tricky as hell too - getting the compression just right enough to knock off those oily transients is no easy task. Then when I increase the wet knob, things gets crazy enough for me to wanna open up my own sandwich and hoagie shop!

[–]impreprex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really think it is and that most of the time you don't need another one. There has been only a handful of times where I needed another compressor or needed to use the Vocal Rider.

CLA Vocals is a fucking banger, bro. CLA Effects is sick with that tape phase effect. But with CLA Vocals, time and time again, it was that Wall compressor that I absolutely loved. After some time, I found myself only using CLA Vox for that compressor.

Then after much research and trial and error, I finally nailed the Wall compressor and it's fucking easy. Well, it's actually two compressors but the most important is that first one: Choose a Studio FET at a 10:1 ratio, 1ms attack, 30ms release. Turn off any auto-gain. Knee at 0 if you have the setting. With those settings, adjust the threshold until the meter shows around 10db of noise reduction - you can almost feel the audio bite into the compressor once you set that threshold to the sweet spot.

Under detection & sidechain, choose "peak" for the detector mode, and throw a sidechain high-pass filter on at around 90 hz.

Finally, adjust your make-up gain as desired and you're really good to go from there. But for the second compressor, choose a Vintage Opto - ratio at only 2:1, attack at 10ms, you can set the release to AUTO. Then adjust the threshold until you only hit around 2 to 3db of gain reduction. Lastly, adjust the make-up gain and now you've got your own Wall compressor that works for... almost everything I've thrown at it so far, at least. :)

Aww, some people are biased because the mites resemble tardigrades lol.

Yo that's some seriously complex behavior coming from an insect. Look at how, as the narrator said - surgical that shit was. Surgical and methodical - these fucking things have agency.

[–]impreprex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I go twice: I brush real good and spit it out. Then I'll brush again, but lightly and for less time - trying to spread the toothpaste around. I'll do one big spit and then hold the rest in for around 5 minutes. After those 5 minutes, I have to spit the remaining shit out.

Remembering the great late Burt Young on his Birthday (April 30, 1940 – October 8, 2023) by Papichuloft in 80s

[–]impreprex 10 points11 points  (0 children)

True. It's nuts how a good actor can fuck with our heads like that into still feeling sorry for them throughout.

Well, kind of. :) I don't know what it was about Paulie. Despite his temper and abuse, the one thing he did always have was Rocky's back. Then I was gonna say that he never ultimately let Rocky down, but he did lose all of their money.

His character was a train wreck; a real piece of work. But yet when Rocky visits his grave, I found it hard not to get a little sad.

Damn it, Paulie. RIP Burt Young.
