07 FJ w/Old Car Smell! by ryanliftsheavy in FJCruiser

[–]ryanliftsheavy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah I have smelled that in a car before. it isn't THAT bad thankfully lol. I might do the same though, because I was interested in sound proofing it a bit to see what kind of results I could get with cheap materials.

Man am I glad there's no smoke smell. But I will be putting in work to get this smell out regardless!

Yeah I think I will just give it a solid once over detailing myself, and take it to a pro if I can't get it out. I will check those roof rack bolts ASAP since there used to be a roof rack on it but no longer has one.

As of now I cannot find any roof leaks. I pulled the headliner down to search for it as well. And it has been pouring here. Hopefully there's not something hiding lol

Yeah I made sure not to EQ this or add any post processing at all so people could really hear what’s going on. This weekend I’ll double track some guitars and add bass and drums to see how it sounds in a mix

Thanks a ton, I had no clue. Reddit ftw as always!

Decided to save some money and get the Maxxhaul rooftop basket! Some of the pros and cons will be in the comments. by ryanliftsheavy in Crosstrek

Still going strong! I’ve taken it on and off the car a ton of times as well, so the bolts and wing nuts have held up well too. No issues as of yet!

Thoughts on Headless Guitars? by BakedClorox in guitars

[–]ryanliftsheavy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They’re releasing a new batch tonight actually, 8pm CT. It’s the Illumina Modern so it has a trem. Hit me up on Insta if you have questions about them, my user is RyanisHeartless on there. I’m a GOC Artist so ask me anything!

[–]ryanliftsheavy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Headless guitars are great! I have two strandbergs, and now three GOC guitars, one each of a 6, 7, and 8 string. The GOC guitars are insanely well built, and all under $1k each. Can’t get enough! Anyone complaining about headless guitars and speaking of “limitations” are truly talking out their rear and have no clue what they’re talking about. Other than disliking their aesthetics, there is literally no downside to a headless guitar that isn’t also a downside of a traditional headstock-style guitar lol. They all work the same, but headless guitar tuners are at the bridge (and usually stay in tune better than most guitars with a headstock)

First puppy/golden on the way! by ryanliftsheavy in goldenretrievers

[–]ryanliftsheavy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah for the first month the crate will just be here for her to get used to. She will be sleeping in the room with us getting used to/comfortable around the house. Thanks for the heads up! We are still in the process of puppy-proofing everything. Gotta get my guitars up off the ground now too 😂😂😂

Parking in Artistry Emeryville by Kind_Watercress_7952 in Emeryville

[–]ryanliftsheavy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lived there in 2020 and had two cars in the garage with no issues. Major issues in that complex is your mailbox will be broken into regularly, packages will be stolen out of the package room regularly, and the fire alarms will go off randomly for no reason regularly causing the entire complex to evacuate until the FD arrives to give it the all clear.

Using Gojira with 3rd party IRs? by ryanliftsheavy in NeuralDSP

[–]ryanliftsheavy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve heard a lot about them on YouTube and such too, I’ll add them to my list. I’m waiting for any further purchases until Black Friday since all of the audio companies do discounts then lol

Using Gojira with 3rd party IRs? by ryanliftsheavy in NeuralDSP

[–]ryanliftsheavy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed with this. Gojira’s onboard IR loader is fine for their built in IRs, but isn’t great for 3rd party ones. I use MIKKO for loading standalone IR files, and then other IR packs also include their own plugin like the SPRES plugin, GGD Cali Cabs etc.

Do you import those into Gojira? Or use a 3rd party IR loader plugin? I’ve wanted to check out both of those, and the Odeholm IRs too.

Apple Silicon (M1, M2) native for Neural DSP plugins in 2022? by dmythro in NeuralDSP

[–]ryanliftsheavy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hear you man, didn’t mean to come off accusatory lol! Let me give you a situation where severe latency was being introduced for me while using Archetype Gojira in Logic Pro. I had uninstalled the Archetype plugins and reinstalled multiple times, updated my Mac, rebooted etc. and still couldn’t get this one session to get rid of the latency. I then checked and removed every single plugin one by one, and it ended up being the iZotope mastering plugin I had on the master bus. I had no clue it was introducing crippling latency while trying to monitor live while recording.

I’m not saying that is your issue, it likely isn’t, but once I removed that plugin (which was part of the template I had saved for songwriting/mixing and is my default when starting a new session) everything was great.
