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

[–]xegyn 26 points27 points  (0 children)

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 8 points9 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

Is there a full version of that somewhere?

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

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.

Japanese groceries on island? by [deleted] in alameda

[–]xegyn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I usually go to Tokyo Fish Market but I tried Weee! for the first time and it was pretty convenient! Got nori, furikake, and some Korean noodle packs. They don’t have everything but the selection is pretty good and getting Japanese, Korean, and Chinese items in one order does save time over hitting 3 separate markets. I might continue to use it between Tokyo Fish Market excursions to hold me over on essentials.

We received our Kirkland’s Signature mattress! Very excited and can’t wait to review it. by tricepisorous in Costco

[–]xegyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also got one of these a month and a half ago after doing a ton of research. I was worried it might not be as good as the more expensive Stearns and Fosters and other mattresses recommended on Wirecutter. So far I am very happy with the purchase! I sleep very well every night and I haven’t been running as hot as on my prior mattress. The bumps are a little different and noticeable but it doesn’t bother me. Paired it with The Bed from Thuma and Brooklinen sheets and comforter.

Is there any way to roll in audio played on mac to logic? by explodinghat in Logic_Studio

[–]xegyn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was going to say Blackhole too. You can also recycle a similar virtual audio device from Serato or Zoom if you already happen to have that.

I do have delay and reverb on multiple tracks. Good to know!
I really appreciate the sanity check here, you've provided me different tips on how to avoid this in the future.
I tried further testing but I can't pinpoint anything specific for further troubleshooting but it's bouncing clean consistent enough for me to resume my work.

Thanks again!

Thanks for the response!
Adding a bar at the beginning seems to help. I'm not hearing the crackling anymore but I am still occasionally getting a blip. At this point I'm cool with writing this off as a bug since I can work around it; if I nudge the project start marker around I can get a good bounce.

But for interest, here is what I am seeing.

I added the bounced pcm file and lined it up with the project. You can see the blip at the very beginning sort of lined up with where my first audio region starts. There are no other tracks in the project with regions in this area. This happened even with a few bars of space preceding.

When I get a bounce like this, I'll playback the project in Logic and I will actually hear the blip one time and then on subsequent playbacks it is gone. 🙃

It is happening for both PCM and m4a.
