I’m a sucker for white instruments, they always look cool on stage. I bet that’s a nice bass!

Mine's a contemporary active j bass and honestly it rips

If it makes you feel any better it’s a squier lol

Shoutout to @neverthebridle.bsky.social for giving me a good excuse to mic up the vintage kit for the first time

I see the best final fantasy game is there (chrono trigger)

it's a very nice drawing, did you make it yourself?

Have you considered going outside

Bahaha my wife was talking about doing this.

My bad meant DNC lmao, very bad with acronyms. Weird that you'd assume I'm on bluesky and voting republican, the dems are bad enough already

Okay

Anything twitter like has always felt like shouting into the void, but at least I can choose what I want and don’t want to see on my following feed

Start with whichever seems easiest aside from staring at the ceiling

Damn neither the NC primary house or senate candidates I voted for won and it was not close 😢

Following lol

So I your mom

Nida Allam represents generational change in North Carolina. This is how real progress spreads across the country.

We had @nidaallam.bsky.social on our stream and heard her vision. If you’re in NC-04, make your plan to vote. Polls are open until 7:30PM ET.

Can’t wait to see Nida in Congress 🧡

He Did This stickers on every pump, except it’s Trump and this time it’s true

things that happened a week ago might as well be 6 months ago for how quickly this shit comes at us

If he could read this sign he’d just pretend that he couldn’t read it

Yeah cymbal bleed is a pain even in big properly treated rooms. Have you tried the multiband expander trick for snare and tom close mics where you basically gate only the mids and highs? Helps a ton with bleed!

I've never tried recording cymbals separately! I have done everything but kicks and then MIDI'd in the kicks later though lol.

I’m not dogmatic about tools but when it comes to editing and tuning I do it all by hand so it doesn’t sound artificial. I also don’t tune every performance or every singer, some need it more than others.

For real!

I don’t know where else I can possibly go from here!

Drummer pro tip for playing in small and/or reverberant rooms: hit the shells hard, but go easy on the cymbals.

Ran live sound for a band last night, asked the (loud) drummer to do this and he actually did?! And it sounded great!

Proud to announce that upon completing my latest mastering project I have now worked on both genres: country and western

typical

Anyway, very grateful, very tired lol.

February of last year I worked on exactly one song for one client. This February has been a liiiiiiiittle different 📈
