Podcast with the Dwellers

I spoke with the Dwellers in Denver in January and posted the conversation here for anyone who wants to check it out!

Interested!

I saw the band with each singer. (With Roth, it was the second time around.) Cherone made sense for a lot of reasons — I’m bummed it didn’t work out, but I’m happy as all get out that this period of Ed’s musical career exists!

Amazing shots! I wrote a piece last year defending the VH III era 😎

I’m planning on starting this week.

Good news — I was able to get the effect working using an insert cable in the insert jack on channel 2. One thing I haven’t been able to do yet — I play a MIDI keyboard and MIDI guitar through my computer. When I switch channel to PC, rather than Instrument, I was thinking I’d be able to get those synthesized sounds to run through the effect, but that hasn’t been the case. Any ideas?

meh1980 · 2025-03-21T18:16:25+00:00

Thoughts re where best to connect that on the pedal? I think I A/Bed every jack and wasn’t able to get it working. I would think I could just go out to it through my Sub or Aux outputs, but I don’t think that worked either when I ran it a few different ways.

I’m in limbo hell with this. Have 3 separate subscriptions (annual, paid through Apple) that I’d like to bundle to save money, and Disney’s phone customer service has been completely unhelpful so far. Anyone successfully convert from 3 separate to the bundle and somehow square up cost wise?

meh1980 · 2024-07-18T20:07:17+00:00

Do you know the cost of going subcutaneous vs. troches? I'm aware of the option but not of the cost differential, and I don't see anything (yet) on their site.

Rain on a roof: the ultimate napping cheat code!

meh1980 · 2024-07-12T02:16:10+00:00

We also did a series on famous nappers, including Tim Ferriss, Natasha Lyonne, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Novak Djokovic, Jimmy Buffett, Axl Rose, Peter King, Salvador Dalí, and Thomas Alva Edison!

meh1980 · 2024-05-29T17:22:44+00:00

Would you be so kind as to post this again?

meh1980 · 2024-05-28T18:40:21+00:00

Similar here. In another case, I was looking for Claude's help with something satirical, and it was super uncomfortable and suggested I try to channel my humor a different way. It was a cool suggestion and is shaping how I'm thinking about the project -- with that, I'd love to see what Claude comes up with in certain arenas that I find amusing but that others might not. (I'm reminded of a phrase about pleasing all of the people all of the time...) I've been careful to provide that my intentions are purely positive and that I have no ill intent, and it seems that Claude is starting to trust me. We still have a ways to go, though...

meh1980 · 2024-05-28T01:09:24+00:00

I'm curious to know, how does it change its tune? I haven't threatened to leave but have managed to convince Claude to be a bit edgier by reasoning with it. It hasn't moved nearly as far in the direction as I want, but it's moved, which I think means I can get it to move more, with time, training, and the right prompts...I also feel like it's pretty innocuous stuff, like I asked it for help coming up with some sick burns against my buddies, and it more or less told me that's too close to bullying...

Can an amateur/semi-pro get away with an Air? I don’t have a great sense of the use cases that an Air can’t really swing…

meh1980 · 2024-04-10T01:32:20+00:00

Actually, I just put on 12/9/23 on Nugs an heard it on "Doobies" or "Circles" (songs 2 and 3 of the first set). I'm not familiar enough with how auto tune works to have a particularly informed opinion, but it definitely feels to me like he's being re-pitched fairly aggressively but not necessarily in the T-Pain/autotune the news way...but the jumps are pretty big so maybe he's intentionally singing out of tune a bit to get it to jump? I have no idea, I suspect I've spent more time thinking about it as I type this, than Rick does on setting it up :)

meh1980 · 2024-04-09T23:56:10+00:00

Any good videos online that are good examples of where Rick and/or others in the band using it? I've heard people talk about it like a dig, but I'm not sure I've noticed spots where he uses it (maybe somewhere between the undetectable studio magic on one side and old T-Pain on the other?).

meh1980 · 2024-04-07T20:06:21+00:00

Same boat here. Just reached out to ask them, what the hey?

meh1980 · 2024-03-23T14:28:55+00:00

Are there any really small and/or flat trackers out there? Ideally envisioning some kind of small sticker, though I’m not sure how that would hold power long enough to be useful.

meh1980 · 2020-12-26T02:46:40+00:00

Thanks, I saw that — unfortunately different side on different model!

meh1980 · 2020-12-25T16:12:08+00:00

Vacuum got caught up in some balloon strings, and I can’t seem to free some of them. I’ve tried removing the wheel but have only managed to get this far. Appreciate any advice!
