Trump was entertaining. Lots of good quotes. But I’m glad that show got cancelled.

Biden’s Inauguration was off the hook and I am more than pleased by the messaging.

Caravan Ray, didn’t you bet me that we wouldn’t have a government by now?

The good news is that even with COVID travel restrictions -Americans cans still enjoy US interference in a democratically elected government - but at least they can do it at home this year. You say a lot of dumb stuff, but kudos. Perfect. You can go on break for 2021. Iraq to send peacekeeping forc...

Pls change thread title to “post your studio setup”. EF97EF7F-7A54-40BD-891C-C47E177C940A.jpeg I have a rack built into the closet to the left which houses the computer and other unrelated things. I guess that’s my tip for this thread - if the room has a closet, commandeer it. Build shelves, throw i...

If we’re basically saying “recording office”, I try to keep anything non-essential out of it so I can focus. Most of my computer and AV cables/doodads are in a Home Depot Husky toolchest/workbench in the garage. https://www.homedepot.com/p/303101236 Everything else fits in my desk drawer or is a per...

I really hope Biden can unify the country like he promised, and I hope folks allow him to do that.

Can confirm: Reaper can record VST output from input.

I don’t need a new piece of hardware. Especially not for the basic case.

But... If there is software that can transcribe beatboxing, then I’m interested in that.

It will be fine Mike. Your 250 year old Constitution is working perfectly.

Ugh, that’s the problem. The first amendment means we all get to yell at each other at the top of our lungs about things we feel very strongly about.

Well, I wasn’t going to move, but now the prospect of the next ~46 days of toxic political discourse makes me want to.

Thanks, Sam!
After sitting on my butt since Nur Ein ended, I feel like I just ran a 10k without any preparation. And finished 4 days late.

the Obama administration bent over backwards to find compromise I feel like if I cross-checked whether there were battles in congress over every Obama executive order, I could find some that don't fit your rosy narrative. IIRC Obama got trigger happy near the end of his term. Whereas Trump seems to...

Wow, TIL the Emancipation Proclamation was an executive order and it took ~3 years from then till the 13th Amendment. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emancipation_Proclamation Exactly. If you're against executive orders, then you're a racist! :P I think the important thing to realize is that Trump ha...

The Nur Ein database is contest-neutral and can accommodate all sorts of contests. I just never got to it, but it is a possibility if it's something people want. I was going to try it with the Circle of Songs a few years ago...

Apparently this visual analogy helped someone. Maybe it will strike a chord with someone else.

Good grief, for how long it took you, you probably could have bought 5 different pairs by now. :p

I am curious how your experience will compare to RTINGS empirical data.

I just listened to a podcast that lays out the history and posits some interesting theories and observations. It might be exactly what you want, Caravan Ray. Common Sense with Dan Carlin - Show 319 - A Recipe for Caesar The TLDR is that the invention of the radio will be grouped with the invention o...

Is the idea that we all do a really old song of our own choosing?

After a thousand years I have been cryogenically unfrozen to bring you my final set of liner notes: Thanks for doing all these, Adam! I know we're a small audience and I really appreciate the effort that goes into sharing with us. It's been hecka interesting seeing the wizard behind the curtain. I ...

If you have any suggestions for how exactly to fix the guitars that sound underwater or pointy depending on which headphones you're on, I'll gladly take them. In retrospect, my first listen was probably on my laptop. The headphones I use to mix are yet a different data point - guitar's less pointy,...

The editing gets sloppier and the episodes take longer...

we’ve come to an impasse the only place that we agree is that this can’t last there is no other way when neither of us hears what the other has to say bring your pistol at dawn meet me at the capitol lawn you’ve insulted my reason with the ideas you profess bring your pistol at dawn i’m done with di...

Instead of editing the last New Ugly episode, I decided to bring my D game.

I had fun trying stuff, but I clearly have a lot of criticism for my own song here. Also it's probably "not in this moment"ed even though it's about how people dueled 200 years ago.
