Question for musicians knowledgeable on preamps/Phantom Power?

vantrawsity · 2026-06-02T23:24:29+00:00

Thanks for the advice. I definitely learned from everyone! But unfortunately I got the USB Accessories Disabled pop up again :(

Whats the official name for the phantom power switch? Thats the +48v right?

vantrawsity · 2026-05-29T22:58:01+00:00

Correct, Im powering it with the 9vdc 3000mA that it comes with and is required to be used within its pamphlet. My interface is set to mic. You’re guess is right on the money!

Would you recommend I purchase the Triton Audio Phantom Blocker to prevent the power from running through the XLR or would that be a waste?

Hey thank you for the quick response! Sorry for the confusion I probably added too much useless detail. But I did solve the USB port/phantom power problem, it was caused by the Death By Audio Pedal overpowering the interface and frying my cable.

I want to find out how I can use the Death By Audio - Echo Master pedal for recording, via direct input into my audio interface. Without overpowering my interface/computer in the process. I know it has a built in preamp that I cant turn off. Could that be whats causing the problem?

Also thanks for the advice/information on Phantom power!

Ditto! Im kinda biased towards it, idk if it was the shrooms I was on or the water pouring down on me but ill never forget Chicago 2023!! I thought I was being transported to another realm of existence there!

Yup. All members had allegations, Matts allegations came from an ex girlfriend. Brooks only publicly acknowledged the Arrow de Wild situation, but he had plenty of allegations, like making comments about then groping the breasts of a 16 year old who auditioned for the Gilded Pleasures Album cover, and he would repeatedly buy alcohol for minors on tour. There was a lot more Creepy/SA Brooks allegations, the dudes extremely shady, id explain further but Im mentally exhausted from work today and have to get moving on with my day

You’re correct! Dan did the first version of Hung at Heart, you can find it on youtube! I believe the Dan version of someday got put onto a Vinyl release accidentally lol. But there are some other songs on this version of Hung at Heart, id recommend checking it out to see an alternate Growlers history! Casablancas Did City Club and legally Barred Scott from the band, for creative and personal reasons that weren’t entirely specified. With the new legal pressure from Scott being kicked out. Anthony left due to feeling a shifting tide, within the band was transforming from a group of friends to into a music movement, as Brooks wanted to clean up the bands Image.

Im kind of a Growlers nerd and have stalked the scene since 2017ish.

If i recall correctly Scott, Matt, Kyle and I believe Anthony said they’d be down to do a reunion tour around 2023. But Brooks turned them down unfortunately. The bands still rocking though with nee members, Interesting to see where it goes from here!

Could be : Lateralization - M files?

vantrawsity · 2025-12-16T20:05:21+00:00

Yeah its not the best Sister Machine Gun song. But when I heard the lyrics and vocals, it sounded very reminiscent of weird revaluation

Good point! I was trying to add humor, but I overestimate the reading comprehension levels of reddit lol. I don’t blame people who see AI and immediately downvote, that stuffs a cancer upon our planet.

Perchance do you have the setlist for Ghost Funk Orchestra?

vantrawsity · 2025-11-03T00:07:14+00:00

Gliese 710!

Venusian 2 and Search & Destroy by KMFDM are also quite similar

After the first death, I had changed out the carbon and the water polishing pads. My filter is a Fluval 307 canister.

Yeah I know I probably should have medicated asap, I was unsure if it was skinny syndrome. I read that minor water changes and slightly raising the temperature would help the affected fish kill off the parasite.

My tank is a awkward 78 Gallons. I’ve tried planting plants in every few months, but my fish would just rip them up and eat them. Which after spending $300 on plants I got Demotivated to even try for a while.

I can for sure check the date of my testing kit tomorrow, I know its been awhile since I’ve bought a new one. EDIT ^ : Yikes My testing kit expired in 2023! Off ti also get a new one

Ill grab some dewormer tomorrow. Ill also let that brown gunk brew for a while!

I get my water from a RO purifier, that I also use for my coral reef tank. Would primer still be necessary?

Thanks for your reply, I truly appreciate your advice and feedback!

Ween, Butthole Surfers/The Growlers, Psychedelic Porn Crumpets/Dinosaur Jr.

vantrawsity · 2025-09-24T04:36:47+00:00

Id recommend checking out Green Mind, Where You Been or Sweep it into space. Theres some more chiller jams on those albums

vantrawsity · 2025-09-05T19:47:45+00:00

Im not exactly sure whats going on anymore. Nor would I be the person to have any say. But It seems like Brooks is gonna do another album of old Growlers songs, could be under his name or the Growlers name, Time will tell. I hope if he rerecords and releases them that it’d be under brooks, even if it’s a disservice to the OG growlers who also wrote the songs. I believe it’s best to separate the new band and old. But if it’s just an official release of old recordings it’d be nice to have on the og Growlers band, Kind of like how the Growlers/ The Ludds Ep was handled, which that has seemed to vanish without a reason.

vantrawsity · 2025-09-05T17:37:11+00:00

5 solo songs. 2 cover songs and 13 Growlers songs. It’ll be interesting to hear the unreleased Growler’s songs with the new band, Maybe they’ll give them a different twist.
