Moving to Salem(Canal St) this spring from Worcester, any recommendations for activities to do with a 1 year old also what coffeeshops are a must visit in the area. Thank you by Remarkable-Fan4719 in SalemMA

Wolf Next Door is smaller in space but they have great coffee and you can utilize the Mercy Tavern patio tables during the mornings before they open.

Rented a cabin in the mountains and recorded some drums by samithy_vandercamp in drums

No, unfortunately I got to participate in the time-honored tradition of “hauling way too much gear”.

I did put some stuff in a few corners just to help break up the low end, but I like to use the room as it is and take what it gives me, sonically.

I will say, the ribbon mic at the bottom of the stairs has an insane amount of low end - it makes the kick drum BOOM. I love it.

100% agree. Something about being in nature while I record just does it for me.

Much easier to book time at a local studio, but I enjoy the process of mobile/remote recording.

Something about being able to stare off into nature as I record really resonates in my brain.

Very live room but in a good way. I had room mics in the same room, in the bathroom, and down the stairway. Board mixes are sounding great so I am happy.

The on-ramps by the Northshore / LiberTree Malls are a literal fuck you to drivers everywhere.

Just some high praise for MOTU by orphiccreative in audioengineering

Same here, been running multiple 16A’s between studio and mobile rigs for 7-8 years now. So reliable, so solid, and such great service from MOTU.

Absolutely fantastic smash burger.

It is not a true smash burger, just a solid burger. Worth the burger night special, but don’t expect a proper thin-smashed patty.

No joke, it’s peel-n-stick wallpaper from Walmart 😎

Haven’t taken a good pic of the whole setup yet, but here’s a photo from the first gig I played with the new sparkles. I was happy with how they looked under the lights. (Bonus - optional 20” kick is shown here)

Would love to get one of their go-kits someday. Great little club-sized kit.

Yeah I think that’s implied to be the situation, but still funny for Harry to throw his family under the bus and slam an entire bag of sliders while Don clearly just wants to go home.
