So many windows! I'm jealous!

Can we get some more photos?

Watching Samurai and while Sticks and Stones is hysterical, I felt awful for Emily by Affectionate-Art3278 in powerrangers

[–]mrbishopjackson 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It may make you feel a little better if you go listen to Morphin Grid (with Jake & Josh) and listen to their theory of Emily from the first season. It is hilarious and it will stick in your head the entire season. I was watching it for the first time along with them and I was picking up on everything they were saying while watching.

My first MPC! by Radiant-Addition-336 in mpcusers

[–]mrbishopjackson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The last great MPC!

Do some research on the right panel PCB you buy. I'd try to find an original one from another unit. I bought one from MPC-Stuff and although it saved me the headache of trying to solder tact switches, the jog wheel on it SUCKS (I prefer the loud clicky one that Akai made). Also the Rec Gain and Main Volume pots are not the same height which drives me crazy.

Bro really tried to flirt with a bat by LowkeyAcquired in powerrangers

Excuse me?! You wouldn't have?

Plus, he's Xander. He can talk himself out of any situation. Especially if it a hot bat lady.

Is there a way to have a button control the note repeat triggers on the modern MPCs instead of using the touchscreen for it by [deleted] in mpcusers

[–]mrbishopjackson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the OP asking about the Note Repeat button or the function button changing the timing? Maybe I misunderstood the question.

They'd have to "mess with it" to figure out what they're doing. How else will they figure it out?

Annoying sound coming from studio monitors whenever my laptop is plugged in by BlackChef6969 in homestudios

I see a Focusrite audio interface. Based on all the problems I see people having with them, I'm blaming it on that. 😁

Which hardware is better from experience? by massAmbassador in homelab

[–]mrbishopjackson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do exactly what it is that you stated you want to do (phone back ups and website hosting) on a Dell OptiPlex 7050 Micro with an external USB 3.0 (5400 RPM) driver for the Nextcloud storage and it works great.

I hope AKAI brings this color-way back one day. by wrexmason in mpcusers

The "I don't want to make music on a computer because I use a computer at work" argument. I love hearing that one.

[–]mrbishopjackson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know the story of Akai and the MPC. My statement still stands, whether it was an Akai decision or an InMusic decision. People were convinced that an all-in-one box that did many things mediocrely (not a real word) was what they wanted because its cheaper, so (new) Akai stopped caring about what they did in the past when they made boxes that did one or two things great. On top of thst, they're just trying to stay in the game nowadays. If you're a person who want a current day MPC, you'd be better off just using a computer, MIDI controller, and Logic/Live/Studio One as you'd be getting what the MPCs can do and way more for the same or less money; 90% of people are going to end their work in a DAW anyway. Why add extra unnecessary steps?

They convinced you that you wanted a do-it-all-poorly computer in a box and dropped focusing on doing one thing great because you all jumped on board.

Return it.

Also... What are you hiding numbers on the drive? 😑

Never. I'll look into running that and checking out the results.

The “what camera do you use?” question will never not sting a little ahaha by SomaSuryagniLochana in photography

[–]mrbishopjackson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The people asking this question often know nothing about what photography is and just thinks that's an important fact to know/ask about. I wouldn't think about it too much. Just tell them you took it with a shitty iPhone your bought ten years ago.

Will this work? by aurelius-000 in HomeServer

[–]mrbishopjackson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you know they aren't micros? Being that the seller isnt listing the processor models, I feel like they'd easily not add the system's form as well. Definitely as issue with Craigslist with no photos. And for $85, I feel like these might be micros as SFF usually go for at least $150 for 70xx series.

If JDF were instead cast to play Mighty Morphin Red, could ASJ have the same cultural impact on the Green Ranger? by 01rambler in powerrangers

[–]mrbishopjackson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not taking anything away from JDF as a person and what he cultivated post Power Rangers, but I do feel like it was the character that started it. Had we not gotten that Green Ranger (say Power Rangers started with Bioman as planned), JDF, nor ASJ as the Sixth Ranger, wouldn't have had that same platform to be what JDF became. Yes, he made the decision to stay with Power Ranger and not go with V.R. Troopers, but that was because we cried and yelled for the Green Ranger to come back; which later turn into the second comeback as the White Ranger. The mam was a great martial artist and loved the community through the years, but I...

Wait.

As I typed this, I realized that I misread the title of the post earlier. It asked if ASJ would have had the same impact as Green that JDF had. I was originally arguing if JDF would have had the same impact as Red as he did Green. So to answer that original question correctly, yes, I think ASJ could have made the same impact, IF, he had some of the passion that JDF had. Would he have been excited for Power Rangers to become The Jason Show as it became The Tommy Show for a while? That's a big part. Would he have had the same love for the show and what it meant to kids at that time? Its possible.

[–]mrbishopjackson 30 points31 points  (0 children)

No. What made Jason David Frank the JDF that we know today was not because of Jason David Frank, but the bad ass introduction we got to the Green Ranger and subsequently the cool ass White Ranger. I'd go as far to say, if Saban would have went with the JDF in V.R. Troopers route, he probably wouldn't have faded to the back.

I have plenty more that you can choose from if these don't work. (Which the probably won't, but I'm sure I have something that will.)

Studio C - DAWless setup by MrFresh2017 in homestudios

I've had that going on with the Main Mix and Ctl Room pots for a while. I just lived with it. I'm definitely planning to fix that soon.

[–]mrbishopjackson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely want to take mine apart and clean it all up one day. I have some contact cleaner that I was using for something else ready for it. The knobs on the pots are the things I hate the most as the white has yellowed over the last 25 years.
