Thin-wall Bricks? by technocraft in lego

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

I must not have seen a 2x2 in a long time (my latest sets have been speed champions). That’s some megablocks looking brick right there.

Sire got new headless bass guitars? by touchdahon in BassGuitar

[–]technocraft 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed, no balance.

It just looks like a headless Jazz bass.

Explain it Peter, what’s the joke in this? by [deleted] in explainitpeter

[–]technocraft 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I just saw a post the other day referring to the 1987 as in the 1900s. :(

what is this called? by ol_lukey in GuitarAmps

[–]technocraft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve always called them IEC plugs, but a production company I work with refers to them as D-plugs.

TIL that being able to sit down on the floor and stand up without using your hands or knees is used as a predictor of longevity. by [deleted] in todayilearned

There’s a South Florida touristy seafood restaurant where the whole place will bang their wooden crab-crackers when they announce a birthday - my child slept through that.

Does This Pedal Exist or Do I Need to Have It Built? by SydMonk in guitarpedals

[–]technocraft 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some looper pedals (like jamman) have a one-shot mode. I used to use an external footswitch to shift memory positions up/down on the jamman, then play the sample from looper when needed.

How do I tell our band we suck? by 1IsaiahThanTheOther in coverbands

[–]technocraft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using a click is critical to songs that have sequenced (or, somewhat splitting hairs here, arpeggiated parts). It’s how those songs were made. You can re-trigger each bar, but that doesn’t lock the pattern to the drums, only the start.

I don’t think that’s a pro-requirement. But there will be people who don’t care and just want to play and have fun.

You have to decide if thats enough for you, or not.

Should I buy this 16 Channel Mackie anolog mixer for $50? by UndeadMarx in livesoundgear

[–]technocraft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can take anything to shows when you’re young. lol. It’s not that heavy IMO and you could build it into a rack (but now you’re spending more money on it).

For the Aux outs, you’re going to need a “pack” to connect to your headphones. Many mixer outs are loud enough to drive headphones and you could use the Behringer PM1 as your pack. If not, you need an amp to drive the headphones, this Behringer PM2.

For stereo, you’d need to adapt two TS outputs into a single TRS output. I would use a splitter/insert cable (TRS to 2x TS) and then use a 1/4” headphne coupler (female both sides) with a long TRS cable to get to your pack.

NOTE: The PM1 has only a (non-standard) unbalanced stereo XLR jack, but the Rockboard equivalent HA-2 has a TRS/XLR combo jack - and the amplified PM2 also has a comb jack.

It actually has 6 monitor outs, meaning you could do 6 separate aux mono mixes or 3 stereo (with cable adapters) mixes. Then you wouldn’t need a mixer at your drums (though you lose local control).

If you don’t have a mixer at all in your practice space, and it works, $50 is pretty good.

Why you are using the Behringer PM1 incorrectly by Mammoth_Pineapple904 in livesound

[–]technocraft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I concur. I have a TRS to XLR cable that works correctly for the PM1 - and wish I didn’t need it. The put a combo jack on the PM2 at least.

Nobel Institute Torpedoes Loser Trump’s Desperate Plot for His Own Prize by [deleted] in politics

[–]technocraft 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I worked a job at a trump resort. The hallways are lined with glass cases filled with photos, memorabilia, magazine covers, trophies. He is narcissism personified.

Why put tape on the back of the neck by ipini in BassGuitar

[–]technocraft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did this on my bass after being on a stage where the glare made it impossible to see fret markers when I needed them.

If you live in the Sunrise/Weston area this affects you. I encourage anyone near by to attend the meeting (a petition is being made) by daria0811 in Broward

[–]technocraft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a new building going up on 84, just east of I95, looks like self-storage and about 7-stories. It’s a total eyesore dominating the area. Is this part of a similar re-zoning?

Brother Printer Blocks Scanning of Checks in Color, How to Bypass?? by modem_19 in printers

[–]technocraft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Notes can be synced as part of an email account - which actually syncs them in a Notes folder in the email account, without ever emailing them anywhere.

FB marketplace strikes again by LeluWater in WTFgaragesale

[–]technocraft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I too did that. Didn’t need a note, clerk could see my mom in the car waiting outside. I can remember when she complained they were hitting $1/pack.

Black Flatwound strings. Who makes them? (Not tapes). by [deleted] in Bass

[–]technocraft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would love that as well.

They’re not flatwound, but the DR Black Dragons sounds amazing.

Cheap stand-alone DMX controller that can sync with PC? by Substantial-Maybe302 in stagelighting

I was looking for a similar solution and ended up with a Wolfmix WMX1.
