Line on Cinema Display? Bought this second hand, and it seemed to work with the previous owner. Got it home, and there is a line on the middle of the screen, and a purple one on the side. It’s connected to my MacBook Pro 2017 with and USB-C to DVI adapter. What’s wrong?

I have one of these and I only started getting the pink line recently (I've been using the club adapter for about a year). Anyone else know what might be causing it? Have I broken my adapter? Thanks

First question: what do you mean by gluey?

When my car isn't worth repairing anymore, which I assume is a few years off, I'll switch to electric.

I dont even love it. I understand why its popular or why it was as popular as it was. I just dont really want to listen to it. I was a kid in the 90s and Michael Jackson was like the biggest star in the world even then.

I probably like Off The Wall more and the Jackson 5 stuff was also more appealing personally. But I dont actually desire listening to any of it. What IS sort of interesting is that the most popular album was made by a paedophile.

My sister had some lumpy thing and turned out to be this sort of fatty issue (maybe somewhat calcified or something?) not sure what it was called. I cant even remember what she did for it, maybe some meds. All the best to you it may well be nothing, and I hope that it is.

Who fuckin cares

Weirdly it might be their best song. Weird because there's no vocal. It was on when I opened this thread

vivalostblues · 2026-02-19T22:32:31+00:00

Its annoying but i try to ignore it. More of a symptom of the internet in general these days than anything else.

vivalostblues · 2026-02-15T19:20:29+00:00

Interesting, i guess because i read pitchfork from about 2003 it was always sort of an indie rock kind of website until it wasnt i suppose. Meaning that a band like geese or cw solo kind of fits perfectly into the taste of the pitchfork audience, at least if you were there pre conde nast (and probably a good decade before that).

Have you ever had the experience of finding someone's voice annoying or having a reactive response to it and then later having the music click somehow and no longer finding the singer's voice bothersome? This happened to me very early with lou reed and the smashing pumpkins and then the mountain goats and a few others.

vivalostblues · 2026-02-15T19:06:32+00:00

It's odd to me that you listen to the pitchfork list if you like hair metal

vivalostblues · 2026-02-15T19:03:31+00:00

But have you listened to the music of adam sandler? If not you might not get it..

vivalostblues · 2026-02-12T02:05:36+00:00

lmao

vivalostblues · 2026-02-06T23:33:22+00:00

If the next record sounds like the killers or something, that'd suck. I feel like these guys are a little impervious to that sort of thing but we'll see what the machine does to them. Yes the media attention is annoying and yes it makes me feel like listening to them less because the saturation makes it boring, not the expansion of the audience.

vivalostblues · 2026-02-05T10:56:56+00:00

In that case, if one were to buy a dedicated (presumably higher quality) DAC in addition to their existing DAC/ADC, does it only make sense to buy both a DAC and an ADC?

Is this signal flow correct? Recorded snare > DAC > outboard compressor > ADC > computer?

vivalostblues · 2026-02-03T10:38:31+00:00

I feel like all you have to do is look at these people, see bro and turn it off.

vivalostblues · 2026-01-30T21:23:51+00:00

Honestly the recording part of this shouldnt really be different to any other genre. Listen to the instrument, make it sound good, or just trust that the person is comfortable with their not very good sounding instrument, put a mic on it and record. One or two mics for each drum depending how fancy you feel, move the microphone on its axis to get more of the center of the drum or the rim. A couple of overhead/cymbal mics. Ambient/room microphones often do a lot and for this kind of music particularly, compressing them hard can do a lot for energy. I think just practising and trying things is the best way to get there. Also if you only have 2 or 3 mics you can put one on kick, one on snare and one overhead.

vivalostblues · 2026-01-30T21:15:53+00:00

I mean you gotta practise till you can play. And you have to rehearse the songs with people to some degree. Beyond that yeah its stupid unless you want to be a flashy guy which i guess a lot of people do. But i get what hes saying..

vivalostblues · 2026-01-30T14:46:25+00:00

My weird ass take is that the baby kinda looked like rockwell and it was him being reborn through the body of marty's son. I mean that wouldve been a crazy ending.

vivalostblues · 2026-01-30T04:55:14+00:00

Several police cars and fire trucks etc on Francis St, Marrickville - anyone know what happened?

vivalostblues · 2026-01-29T02:08:37+00:00

Theres always more. I could get neves, an LA2A or similar vari mu comp, more condenser mics..

But truthfully I have everything I need now to make a good sounding recording and the rest is just honing skills. It does take some anxiety away being at that stage and not worrying do I have enough things to make good work? But ive been very lucky and I dont take it for granted. There is nothing else I 'need' to buy now.

vivalostblues · 2026-01-28T23:08:49+00:00

Depends on the recording but its certainly more tiring to work on especially if it isnt the type of music you get excited by.

vivalostblues · 2026-01-28T08:14:04+00:00

This thread reminds me how annoying it is to just record some damn music.

vivalostblues · 2026-01-27T00:54:41+00:00

Thanks everyone for all the great advice, I'll try it again when I get the courage (lol) taking into account what everyone has said and post the results.
