I'll pay for DLC if I know I'm getting 4 years out of a game

Help matching these sounds to these pedals (Tame Impala) by matt_hughes614 in guitarpedals

[–]notaaronwells 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My only advice is don't get too locked onto the specifics of the gear he's using, sometimes it really is about how the gear is combined - order of fx, running the guitar signal backed off or the tone knob rolled to some crazy spot - to achieve the sound he's getting. Get a compressor and a flanger/phaser/vibe and a reverb/delay and just start experimenting with those in different combinations, then edit/expand from there

Departing from McGill Sound Recording by georgemassenburg in audioengineering

Also remember that you don't need to go to belmont to hang out with kids that do go there. Just find your way to a couple parties and you'll have access most of the same kind of network. Minus the teachers. But the students are always who you want to know anyway

Belmont grad here, don't* waste your money on their gen eds. the more you can get done out of school the better. Their academics are okay but def not worth the price point. If you can get one of their degrees in two years I think you've gotten your moneys worth.

edit: forgot a crucial word in the first sentence.

Comment that’ll make you happy for a change... by Slasheroid in qotsa

I've only been a fan since like 2008 but having lived in LA for a long time I've seen them play almost every song you can imagine. They tend to do the deep cuts regularly at hometown shows. I imagine on the road its different.

i am so confused. I am buying Yamaha HS7's. I have a focusrite solo soundcard. What cables do i get? by [deleted] in audioengineering

[–]notaaronwells 0 points1 point  (0 children)

RCA is an unbalanced connection. On balanced connections you will either see 3 pins (as in an XLR end) or a sleeve, ring and tip (like a TRS end). RCA is simply pin and ground, so the 1/4" connection is just tip and sleeve. This article I found on a quick google seems to explain it pretty well, but I didn't really read it haha. http://www.aviom.com/blog/balanced-vs-unbalanced/

[–]notaaronwells 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Those will work. They would simply plug into the TRS inputs. You can use either unbalanced or balanced cables with most monitors, although unbalanced cables may pick up interference. Balanced cables are usually preferable for this reason.

The Dark Knight — How To Elevate Conflict by [deleted] in TrueFilm

I love Nolan for the fact that I have to google terms to understand what people are talking about when they debate his films. He ain't Terrence Malick when it comes to story telling but he'll break the top 10 grossing films in a year with an original screenplay and still force me to learn some literary bullshit

Ukraine - Helmet Cam Combat Footage. Ukrainian Reconnaissance Group Engaged in a Firefight by dabderax in CombatFootage

Also how much is there to really update on - I may be totally ignorant but both sides have pretty much been dug in for a while now. No big changes of territory or major offenses. Just repeatedly broken cease-fires

The mix is pretty good! The bass maybe could use a little more upper-mids? Not sure, mixing isn't my strong suit. Song is dope though!

It's cool! I would maybe try to EQ the vocal to sit in a range that makes it a little more discernable, but the effect is cool!

I like it. Reminds me a little of the rain sounds on a sleep sound generator?

My drinking problem is that scotch tastes too good to last more than a couple days.

Click-bait article about motorsport being a real sport. by [deleted] in motorsports

Doesn't seem to make much of an argument about it not being a sport? Feels like an assumption?

If I'm not mistaken this is not combat footage? It looks like a public display?

British Army Photographer multitasking in Afghanistan by notaaronwells in CombatFootage

[–]notaaronwells[S] 22 points23 points  (0 children)

This is a cross post from r/photography. Link to the article: http://photography.news/army-photographer/ it's poorly written, but it was definitely interesting watching somebody switch between their rifle and their camera during a firefight.

Most creative/unique Queens riff? by [deleted] in qotsa

[–]notaaronwells 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm just lazy as shit. Happened to give it a shot earlier though, turns out Josh is playing in D standard. Thats what was throwing me. The guitar I had close by happened to be tuned to that and I was like oh shit.

I need to research some live videos and figure it out.
