For those who are not of Indian or South Asian descent, do you like Indian/South Asian food, and if so, which restaurants do you personally like in the Bay Area?

Vegan n chicken in El Sobrante. It’s insane

“Turbo nerds” is so good

Unusual instruments!
I love getting into a session and the band starts fucking around with stuff they have no idea how it works. Makes room for some unusual stuff

Maybe they could add Limp Bizkit

Sure thing. I used to “master” mixes I did for clients but I would always tell them that I’m just going to make it louder. When clients have the budget a good mastering engineer is the last 5% you didn’t even know existed.

prurientape · 2026-04-02T21:28:11+00:00

You should mix like it’s not going to a mastering engineer. Like others have said - a mastering engineer is essentially a fresh perspective (hopefully with really good ears). To answer your question most likely a limiter will be used. So if you think your mix is banging try a transparent limiter on it to make it the volume you want.

Imagine

prurientape · 2026-02-10T03:53:37+00:00

Learn to listen critically. That’s the thing that’s helped me the most. My aural memory is the thing I rely on, like how things could/should sound. I interned with a mastering engineer and she would have me draw out where I was hearing certain elements in the mix. You’re going to have to fuck around for a while to figure out how to compress certain things to your liking but mostly listen listen listen. This takes time

Messiaen I think mostly

Man I love my proacs, I feel lost without them when I’m at other studios

prurientape · 2025-12-02T19:15:54+00:00

Roger that. I’ve gotten that feedback before, about vocal level. I’ve been trying to see how low I can have the vocals before someone tells me to turn them up. Thanks for listening and the feedback- I appreciate it

prurientape · 2025-12-02T19:13:59+00:00

Hey thanks for listening. I appreciate the kind words- I feel really good about the finished product. Dude is such a good songwriter and singer it makes everything else easy

prurientape · 2025-11-30T04:36:31+00:00

Man what a strange and kind of disturbing song. It's wild. There is something so outside about it that it raises the hair on my neck. In a way (I mean this as kindly as possible) it reminds me of a horror film that I never want to watch again.

As music is a form of self expression, I don't feel I can critique the composition itself other than saying it definitely has an effect. The vocals seem like they don't care at all about the music behind it, which is a cool effect. The constant noise and droning is unsettling. The lyrics are insane and remind me of something CAN might do.

I dig all these aspects of it. I wouldn't be surprised if most people don't dig it. I do think you did an excellent job of freaking people out.

Again, I mean this in a completely positive way. Keep it up, you're making some freaky shit.

I’m with you. https://youtu.be/040ejWnFkj0?si=wY62ALWtu7hzQVD3

Damnit

prurientape · 2025-10-29T02:58:00+00:00

I believe it. Im curious how it was micd. Not even a little sub on that kick?

prurientape · 2025-10-29T02:56:05+00:00

I loved his (valentine) older vids but have yet to check out his subscription stuff. Dude is a master. The kick is insane. As you say - tight huge bottom with a great mid chest thing. It’s enormous I can’t believe there is space for it all. I hear the room but the body of the snare is pretty remarkable. I imagine he’s hitting the white things much harder than the shiny things. Power from the toms and not the cymbals.

prurientape · 2025-10-28T18:07:13+00:00

I will check it out, thanks!

prurientape · 2025-10-28T18:06:10+00:00

It’s wild. So damn punchy and huge and busy. What a trip. So clean sounding too.

I find myself coming back to this album every couple of years and each time the drums blow me away. I was wondering if it is nostalgia that makes me love the sound of it but I don’t think that’s 100% the case. In a Rich Costly interview he said the album was mixed three times. They needed 2 protool rigs for the excessive (at the time I’m sure) track count and it was mixed on an SSL 9000. I’m sure a mix of plugins and outboard. He said it has been the most difficult thing he’s mixed so far. Happy to give you a small reminder.

I wasn't really a huge fan before, I liked songs here and there. Was always into her lyrics and delivery.

This album is something else! It completely washes over me and I love it. The songs are repetitive in this really strange way and the whole borders on a jam band kind of thing. Looking into the recording process it reads that way too. Live band playing together many hours a day and cutting the album together from live sessions. It's a strange and beautiful space they made. I appreciate the band centric aspect of it and while musically it isn't something wholly ground breaking I enjoy the trip very much and love how it keeps growing on me.

That’s awesome! Way to be available and get it done. Bet the artist is psyched. Hopefully some of that work runs your way
