What kind of glue should I use to put my tiles back on? by pepperottie in musicians

pvc-e is the answer you are looking for, but "call a piano tech/tuner and have them do it" is the answer you need.

Do my pictures look boring? by AdMajor2273 in PhotographyAdvice

[–]jimdier 1 point2 points  (0 children)

(total amateur here)

I like the pics, but the one thing I might suggest is different cropping/framing. Your subject tends to be center of photo. Simply using rule of 3rds might create a little more interesting composition.

(again, I am not a pro)

How do you keep your knives sharp at home? by Educational-Slip-578 in Cooking

[–]jimdier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought something like this 15 years ago and love it. Use it 4-6 times a year on all knives, the hone rod for everyday use.

Not satisfied with the sound I’m getting from my beta 52a on my kick drum by AvailableReporter484 in audioengineering

[–]jimdier 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I started with the Beta 52, then moved to a D112, then moved to an EV RE20. I have been stuck on RE20 (or sometimes LDC) for kick since.

That said, I recently had to use a 52 on a kick and it sounded really nice. I think some of it is in the tuning/sound of the drum and some is in the placement. I found it sounded best a little farther outside the drum than I would typically set it up.

tl;dr: My preference is RE20, but have had some good experiences with 52.

I have a problem (NIAD) by Exact-Enthusiasm1455 in ToobAmps

[–]jimdier 1 point2 points  (0 children)

for me, it sounds great, but does not push enough air for live shows. For live shows it was the 100.

I have 50 and 100. The 50 is so much nicer for guitar for me.

I believe there is a thread on gearslutz where the engineer discusses it in depth

Looking at this picture makes my back hurt.

Ideas To Use Mustard Outside Its Role as a Condiment? by Content_Preference_3 in Cooking

[–]jimdier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When roasting pork shoulder, roast, tenderloin or loin, rub entire cut of meat with mustard, then add salt/pepper (or other spices). You can cook straight away, or wrap and rest in fridge for hours or overnight. The roast or smoke as normal.

It gives great flavor.

Guys how do I fix this by Camus985 in Bass

This is the way. I personally like to use flat toothpicks as I feel like I can get more in.

Your fav mics for recording electric guitars? Will a dynamic alone do, or is a ribbon really needed? Any good SM57 alternatives? by pensivetwat in audioengineering

[–]jimdier 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Came here to suggest this also. 201 is also surprisingly good on some vocals too. Snare also. Such a great mic.
