  1. I typically don't need additional monitoring. The few times I have, it was a big enough venue with a fancy enough PA that they could route my PA signal to a personal stage monitor at my feet. I have not needed to, but I could go from my pedalboard to that cool music thingamajig and from there out to PA and monitor myself through it while the mix is sent from PA to FOH.
  2. I play solo, as a duo with a drummer, and trio with a drummer and bassist. I sit in some with bands, too. I typically plug direct from pedalboard to PA. For times when I can't or don't want to take the PA because its overkill for the scope of the venue, I take this along (14.76" D x 20.67" W x 13.58" H and <20lbs).
  3. I’m a big Tonex fan and it’s become my main source for amp sounds live and recording. It’s a hell of a lot easier carrying this around than the same pedalboard minus one micro pedal and plus 78744588 lbs Vox AC30.
  4. I think the true identity of this team has been revealed. The people thinking we should be #1 were delusional. The people thinking everyone associated with the team were irredeemably awful were wrong. Some have probably been wrong on both sides of that coin this season. This Texas team is very talented, but very young, inexperienced and inconsistent. There is a large gap between our ceiling and floor of play, with the ceiling being pretty damn high, and the floor being pretty damn low. Our mean of play isn't meaningful, because of the variance week to week can be so far above or below it, towards our ceiling or floor. I think that ability to play down to our floor keeps us from winning the conference or making it to the playoffs this year. BUT, you can see some marked improvement in individuals, units and team as a whole over the course of the season. Improvement to where their floor is increasing week to week, the weekly variance in our play is decreasing, and the mean of play is trending towards the ceiling as we are starting to avoid playing down to our floor. The players are gaining experience and confidence in themselves and each other. They are calming the fuck down during games. That bodes well for the future. I think with the right NIL/portal/coaching moves in the offseason, we have a legitimate shot to win it all next season.
  5. Frank Hammer: All of them. Twice.
  6. Best game from the o-line this season, and not coincidentally, our best offensive game of the season. Zero sacks for Manning, we ran the ball well enough for it to be a legitimate concern for the defense, and ran half the 4th quarter off the clock after we got the big lead (no small part of the Vandy "running out of time"). They were pretty damn feisty all day, moving the pile for a little extra and getting down field on pulls and screens.
  7. If Collin Simmons stays healthy/keeps this up, he's going to be an all-time great at Texas.
  8. Maybe, I just don't see the slam dunk path to that from where we are. Technology at the turn of the century didn't really hurt the labels. The net effect of Napster was Spotify, and the labels still have a very comfortable seat at the table in the streaming era.
  9. I don't understand your last sentence. I don't see how AI will do anything to labels and streaming platforms. They simply own the marketing and distribution channels and get paid regardless of how songs are produced for consumption. It's the people that make a living in how songs are produced for consumption (like the dude in the video) that will be having their slice of the pie taken away. But I guess in a very Thanos-esque worldview (which seems to be prevalent among AI proponents) you could view any labor as an inefficient way to conduct a market. That type of worldview is what birthed words like "Bourgeoisie" and "Proletariat".
  10. Berkeley educated music professional demos Sumo Studio and admits he cannot compete with it in terms of time or value, laments the loss of value in skills attained over a lifetime. Sucks to be him, I guess.
  11. The most important commodity is a following. Fuck the meek, its the influencers that shall inherit the earth.
  12. UBI is so fucking hand wavy. We have an answer to all your concerns, society: <obi-wan>Universal Basic Income</obi-wan>. I want to know: How are you going to get buy in from everyone who thinks communism and socialism are the root of all evil? How would this work in practice and be anything other than trickle down economics 2.0? Are people going to be happy with basic income needs being met but no fucking life's purpose provided by a career calling?
  13. Rep for Cletus in Possum Dick.
  14. So where is the ankle snuff film?
  15. Well now it’s justifiable homicide.
  16. When I die, I want my friends and family to bury me at sea in an armada of these fucking things.
  17. Ignore him? Motherfucker, you just put out the bat signal for a whole legion of Surly degenerates. Even the day after that wild, wacky game, I’ll take a gram and a shot, por favor.
  18. I think Sark has prolapsed.
  19. New baritone today. Very cool vibe, superb sounds, but it’s gonna need a good setup after I get home.
  20. Michael Taaffe:: We friggin’ won, so let’s put a smile on our face. We’re dancing… Arch:
  21. Dude, Arch and the OL were neck and neck in a homeless vagrant dick sucking contest tonight but the OL managed to get a couple more money shots to their faces to pull out the victory. #winning
