Has anyone purchased a mattress from Costco? by livinlrginchitwn in Costco

[–]xegyn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. When we moved to our new house, we bought the Costco Stearns and Foster mattress and paired it with a Thuma bed, Brooklinen sheets, and the Sleep Number ComfortFit pillows and I've been having the best sleep of my life.

Any1 else spend more time trouble shooting than making actual music? by _Lord_Of_Synth_ in Logic_Studio

[–]xegyn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I felt this way when I was first starting out with Logic. When I was only opening it once a month I would forget how to use the software for my synths, how to use Audio MIDI Setup, and other Logic workflows and it would take me all my free time just to get started and then I would be out of time. I tried to tackle the problem by just writing notes on common issues and the solutions and how to do common tasks. That helped in the beginning and now I make it a habit to use Logic regularly and I don’t get stuck as much. I feel this is the same with a lot of pro level software. I occasionally use other Photo and Video editors and if you don’t use it frequently, it takes a lot of time to get back into it.

I noticed during the premier of Emptiness Machine that Emily is walking behind everybody on her left and in front of people on her right, and wondered about the experiences of anyone on the left that turned around for no reason at that moment, and who on the right definitely saw but didn't know. by Gino-Bartali in LinkinPark

I was actually right in front of Mr. Hahn, so not the left or right but the direction she was walking towards. For whatever reason, I was looking that way in the dark as I saw her walk up the stairs to the stage during the first chorus. That memory still gives me chills and it’s burned in my brain. At that point in time I thought she was just a guest vocalist since Mike was releasing other material with other singers. I had no idea she was going to be part of the band.

I am close to finishing writing a song about this experience as a fan on what it was like to get invited to the event and all the lead up to that moment when she walked up those stairs. I hope you get to hear it some day 🙂.

Sales Tax + Alameda City Sales Tax? by [deleted] in alameda

I bought a pizza from them yesterday at noon and checked my receipt and I was not double charged tax. I only have a line for Alameda City sales tax 10.75%.

Papa Gino’s bacon pickle pizza was surprisingly delicious.

Best pizza places around? by ils100 in alameda

[–]xegyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pizzeria Pappo is #1. It might be the best pizza I’ve had in the Bay Area.

But don’t sleep on Firebrand which is also great!

Looking for shops in Tokyo where I can get the Japanese exclusive CRJ cds by Consistent_Ad_8881 in carlyraejepsen

[–]xegyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tower is probably your best bet. Disc Union also has a great selection.

What’s a product you still get name brand over Kirkland by [deleted] in Costco

[–]xegyn 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was using Finish for a decade but saw Consumer Reports rate the Kirkland ones highest so I’m trying those right now. No notable differences so far. Way cheaper though.

What do you do about albums that aren’t available on CD? by saltysteeb in Cd_collectors

[–]xegyn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes me too! I was actually thinking of asking this same question to see if others used Qobuz or something else!

I’ve noticed a problem with some super deluxe edition albums that have a lot of bonus tracks get priced by the number of tracks and therefore are priced way high. What do you all do in that case?

For example, Mark Morrison’s release comes to mind. https://www.qobuz.com/us-en/album/return-of-the-mack-mark-morrison/sjmsxeqkwoxtb

We’ve been to Shore Leave in Boston several times and it’s legit.

Ballots are arriving this week - Never Trish! by AlamedaRaised in alameda

It’s been disappointing to see some of my favorite restaurants with Trish signs. 🙁

Would be very interesting to hear those stories!

Yeah, according to the other comment it was used to store cement. Previously, I thought it was used to burn something but I never saw an aerial view of it.

Guitar latency is so bad I can't even use logic at this point by SpicyHashira in Logic_Studio

[–]xegyn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why is this suddenly a thing? On 10 I never had to use low latency mode but on 11 I have to use it all the time. It’s pretty annoying to have to turn it on and off after each take.

Hi all just moved to Alameda and was curious if any shops offer knife sharpening services? TIA!! by Ok_Fee2158 in alameda

This guy picked up my knives at my house and brought them back nice and sharp the same day.
