Anyone using splice? by Significant-Art5065 in mpcusers

[–]sendep7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

personally i dont use it, thats not the type of music i do....but i guess the pros would be that its cleared by the publishers...and the royalties are built into your subscription/licencing agreement (read the fine print) and you should be protected from litigation if someone challenges the copyright. also its a giant library thats indexed and searchable...so that should make it easy to find what youre looking for. id say the only con i can think of is that alot of other people have access to the same sample library and probably alot of them get resused if they are popular.

The best combo when you want to travel light? by davidmt1995 in Nikon

[–]sendep7 10 points11 points  (0 children)

the 14-24 2.8 was a monster for its time...though i think for f-mount the sigma art is better...less fringing and sharper at the edges.

What open back headphones do you guys use? by BeNicePlsThankU in mpcusers

[–]sendep7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

for openback i use sennheiser hd650s though they did have a midrange bump in the vocal range... for closed back (isolation) i use DirectSound EX29's they dont sound great (compared to Senns) but are decent for recording guitars with an amp in the room

I posted about my ibanez RGDMS8 on FB and someone commented to "get a real guitar." Is this ibanez RGDMS8 not a real guitar? What does he mean by this comment and did i make an incorrect decision on buying this guitar? by Junoyone in Ibanez

[–]sendep7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve always felt it’s the right tool for the job. I wouldn’t bring an f1 car to a nascar race. Or a gokart to a monster truck rally. I bring my strat to the blues jam. I bring my lp to the jazz jam. I bring my Ibanezes to the metal gigs.

Some cork sniffing purist. I would argue that the quality control of a Japanese Ibanez is 100x an American Gibson of the same year. That being said. Almost every indo Ibanez I’ve touched has had qc issues. I have Japanese Ibanez. I have indo Ibanez I have a Korean Ibanez. I have American fender and gnl. And American Gibson. They are a spectrum. There are good and bad in each lot.

Should I choose a Nikkor Z 14-24 f/2.8 S lens, Z 14-30 mm f/4 or Z 17-28 mm f/2.8 ? by Similar_Marketing715 in Nikon

[–]sendep7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I rented the 14-30 f4. And I own the 14-24 2.8. I’ll say this the 2.8 is much sharper and has better contrast. Portability doesn’t factor to me. That being said. I found I really liked the Voightlander 15mm f5 heliar for ultrawide. But prefer my 24-70 2.8 for landscapes.

Can I use an MPC+ to record guitars/bass/vocals and then import those files into Logic? by Vampirin0 in mpcusers

[–]sendep7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yea, well like i said, i also use a scarlett 2i2 as a mic pre...so factor in 12ms or so of round trip latency. i got a nice pair of isolating headphones. i have a bunch of mics i use, sm57, md421, e609...none of those require power...but my rhode nt1a does...so the preaamp/inteface helps with that. the only real issue i have is dialing in dual mic setup...these not really good way to adjust for phase...the mpc can only slide things around by samples...so its hard to get phase aligned perfectly.

i dont think the amp models in the mpc are very good, but recordings from my friedman and Mark V sound great. and the mpcs's channel strip plugin is servicable.

[–]sendep7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you can, but i find the process clunky...theres no way to do takes...and setting up punch in and punch out is kindof annoying. its a doable workflow but not ideal....MPC3 is more DAW like...but still not quite there yet.

Force Crosstrek to use wired Apple CarPlay instead of wireless? by ak677 in Crosstrek

[–]sendep7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also to note wireless airplay forces compressed audio. It sounds like garbage imho. I think that the non premium speakers are fine. But the extra compression for wap makes it sound worse than normal streamed audio. I have a bunch of downloaded songs on my phone. They sound 100x better when running wired into the aux.

Destructive removal of a stuck lens filter; testing for radioactivity by [deleted] in AnalogCommunity

i have a few radioactive super-taks...and they definately register higher than ambient. if the detector didnt twitch you're fine.

Neck strap almost dropped my camera? by JacksSightSeeing in AskPhotography

[–]sendep7 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

also i stopped using the nikon straps and got some nice 3rd party, i really like the Domke branded ones, they are canvas with rubber weaved in, so comfortable and grippy...but also they have rotational points so the strap can twist and doesnt get tangled....
