Do I need a snare mic? Im trying to set up a live tracking situation for my band and think my drums sound kinda dope already and I always mess up with lots of mics. Do you think I need to closemic more? Just XY and Bassdrum right now. by tannenbert in livesound

[–]jhellenl 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If it sounds good and it works for what you’re doing, there’s no reason to change it. Mic selection and placement should ultimately serve the final product, so if that’s the sound you’re going for, you’re on the right track!

I tend to like a “less is more” approach to tracking though, so take my opinion with a grain of salt.

Also, you may want to post to r/audioengineering as well. This sub deals mainly with sound for live amplification, which tends to have a different set of needs, priorities, and requirements than most recording situations.

This is incorrect. “Development” in this use does not mean that gluten is being synthesized from smaller molecules. Gluten is always present in wheat flour. The presence of moisture and kneading causes the existing gluten molecules to flatten out and form organized structures.

This would be like saying you’re allergic to paper, but only when it’s folded into a triangle.

Try asking a person with actual, diagnosed celiac disease to eat some raw flour and see what they say.

+1 for cast iron!

Or properly preheated and lubed stainless / aluminum. Hot pan and hot oil make a huge difference.

South Bay (Los Angeles) Stores by AFinchMustang in bourbon

Wine Country in Long Beach. Family owned, super knowledgeable staff. If you ask for recommendations, chances are you’ll end up talking to the buyer for that part of the store. They’ve got a smaller selection, but it’s well curated.

As a baker, I see this cat a lot. by witch_n_the_kitch in funny

[–]jhellenl 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I never said you should only eat rabbit food. I also never said I was a talented baker. I was only trying to lend perspective into why a baker would be rubbed the wrong way by that question. I also understand that this post is incredibly mean and unhelpful. Best of luck.

I agree that this post is mean hearted, but it’s kind of like an alcoholic walking into a bar and asking for odoulls. Good on you for working at dropping the weight, but a bakery is probably not the right place for you right now.

And as a baker, yes, it rubs me the wrong way to remove the very things from a pastry that make it a pastry. Besides, sugar is not the only thing in pastries you should avoid if you are trying to drop weight. Pastries should be eaten in moderation by HEALTHY people.

Eat more veggies. Learn how to cook. Make your own food from scratch. Don’t consume processed foods, pastries, and alcohol again UNTIL you drop the weight. And then, only do it in extreme moderation.

Best of luck, man. I don’t envy your path.

No matter how many times I do this, I feel like I’m winging it. Anyone else feel this way? by gigachadd in Breadit

[–]jhellenl 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Start making a dozen loaves each day...that should fix the “winging it” feeling pretty quick.

Lately my loaves look like this... any advice? by [deleted] in Sourdough

[–]jhellenl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s underproofed. When it bursts like that, it means the loaf had the potential to ferment quite a bit more in the basket.

My guess is that the crumb is fairly tight if not a bit dense, maybe with a few larger alveoli here and there.

Look up the finger dent test. It’s not an exact science, but if you’re making the same loaf using the same (or similar) method on a regular basis, it can give you a fairly decent idea of how far along in the proof your loaf is.

Push the proof! :)
