Musician, producer and audio engineer!
I think its cos he’s found success without being technically “good” at the instrument. He’s become massive off a kinda garage band sound and relatively sloppy live work, and dudes who are more technical proficient are probably a bit bitter.
But then I haven’t heard of much hate on Jack White really. I’ve heard negative comments about his playing but usually his songwriting is well received.
That’s interesting! Glad someone can share my confusion hahah
Apparently my eyes go soft when I’m being silly. I enjoyed hearing it but I have no idea what it means
I got told to be careful of soy milk once by a conspiracy theorist buddy. Said it’ll turn me into a woman.
Hundred percent this conspiracy theory has bigoted roots.
Don’t I know it. Part of my job involves out main guys checking out buildings to assess potential danger if there’s damage or whatever.
If a member of the public calls something in that isn’t something relating to new construction work, it’s always perfectly fine, they just don’t like their neighbours or, usually, are racists who don’t like that non-white folk are building.
Can’t explain it but they’re always lying and it’s so clear. It’s come to the point I genuinely ask “is it actually dangerous or are you complaining about the work?” They always come out with something about the safety of children and double down.
A friend of mine said that he found looking for streamers on Twitch that stream something you’re interested in with your target language. Cos they most likely have a discord server, and it gives you the opportunity to converse with their community, and you’ll often be welcomed and helped out.
I’ve always pined for a Godin Session! Looks a great guitar!
Playing around with different cab IRs was key for me to finding the best tones. Blending multiple IRs can be great too.
I use a pack where the SM57 IR is a bit too harsh and the R121 IR is a bit too boomy. Together they’re beautiful.
Getting the appropriate input level is key too. From there, tweaking EQ can help a good amount.
I’d also recommend, if you’ve not already, trying out the Neural Amp Modeler. It’s a bit like a Kemper Profiler but open source and plugin based. There’s a website called Tonehunt full of captures by the community. There are some great options for tone there!
They built a wall at ours to stop people doing this.
I stare at myself in the mirrored surface. I presume there are cameras, so I don’t weird out in there 😬
Not seen the movie.
Best friends is up and down. Had one definitive best friend who died around 5 years back and I’ve got a few clusters of friends, such as school pals, people I’ve been in bands with.
Though in the past year a bunch of work pals and old bandmates have come together and formed a new band just to have fun with, cos we’re all getting on a bit and need a hobby I suppose. It’s been really nice seeing them very often, bringing people from one element of my life into the fray with those from another.
I don’t think I’ve felt more friendship than right now in a long time because of this!
