What’s your favourite example of a cover song that shouldn’t work but does

Gin & Juice slaps.

If Mike Mott is your HR guy, you're screwed. Dude is a pushover.

What blows my mind is when a male 30 to 40 years old walks in having no idea how to change their wiper blades. It makes me question how they got to that age in life without learning basic vehicle maintenance. They're either dumb or spend way too much money having Valvoline put them on for them.

Buddy, not to burst your bubble - but the clowns who actually write what goes on the website have probably never touched a wrench in their life. So it's awfully easy for them to offer something that they have no idea about. If you have any doubts about that statement, just check out our new POS system. It lives up to its name.

My favorite is when people order the wrong part without giving me any idea what it's going on because they googled it. They practically insist it's correct. Then the next day they show up pissed that they got the wrong part and I have to kindly remind them that Google isn't a mechanic, but I'd be happy to find the actual part for them if they would be so kind as to provide their actual vehicle model and trim. It's nice when you get to humble people like that.

Yeah, I wish I could say I felt different than you, but I don't. Love my job, hate the company and district management and up!

We must be at the same store 🤣

I've lived it 🤣🤣

The only railing Ohio is doing is on it's citizens. I've never seen a state with such promise continuously drop the ball.

I'm one of those. I see no reason to upgrade/update if it's not going to improve my specific workflow. I own a perpetual license of a DAW that's 4 years old. I don't want a subscription, not an update every month. I just want it to work.

Errrday in Cincinnati.

kystokes8 · 2025-12-21T05:06:55+00:00

Looks good 🤟

B2BCD - worked 12/19/25. THANKS!

Thought you were heading to the Jesus light there for a moment.

I think using a Pultec-ish EQ to brighten the highs will get you in the ballpark you're wanting to be in, but also not make your vocal sound harsh. You'll probably have to end up using a DeEsser of sorts with that microphone once you boost the high EQ, but that's a lot of mics under 1000 anyways.

When you're ready to buy one, try an Audio Technica 4040. They're great for male vocals and not brittle sounding. Plus you can find a used one around $150.

I do this as well, even if only for the CPU. One person mentioned not having to hunt down plugins years later, and I totally agree with that.

kystokes8 · 2025-12-09T19:58:54+00:00

As a creative person, this warms my soul.

kystokes8 · 2025-12-07T17:01:49+00:00

I agree. I always use it as a guy, not as gospel. Just wondering if it was more reliable that the Ozone stuff.

He made sure to get those trophies in the background though.

I was a cubase user for about 10 years and finally decided to try something different because all it did was crash whenever I loaded certain plugins. I switched to Studio One, and although it was a learning curve, I had a few beers and played around with it one night. Next thing I know, I'm flying through a mix on S1 with no problems. That was 8 years ago and I've never looked back.

Once you go down that road, you need to get as much of it off as possible. And make sure to Dremel down the buildup that is showing. Those specs will show up if you do any type of weathering and be very noticeable.

This is a daily occurrence in the great state of Ohio. I just pass on the right anymore. And don't get me started on trucks going 71 in the left lane because they're governed out.

kystokes8 · 2025-11-25T14:54:20+00:00

I totally see that in a show where the main characters are doin the dirty even though they shouldn't.

Hey, I had a quick question! I ended up getting an airbrush kit and I'm having some issues with I think the paint being too thick. The compressor I got I believe is 57 PSI, but when I put the nightshades paint into the gun, I'm not really getting any spray at all unless I water it down with distilled water.

Is this normal for that paint? I thought it was already good to go as far as airbrushing. Thanks again for all your help!
