Nope, just a happy side effect of getting it to all work together. Better to be lucky than good, etc... etc...

Yeah, it actually sounds pretty good now on shitty speakers. One of the things I've come to rely on for mixing in my much less than ideal monitoring space is a plugin that makes your headphones have a response like a professional studio monitoring room. https://www.waves.com/plugins/cla-nx I've found that helps an awful lot when paired with a decent set of supported headphones. Its got 3 sets of monitors modeled from CLA's studio, one of which is just a shitty boombox. Its really nice to change between 3 sets of monitors in the software and cover lots of listening scenarios. I'm not tweaking a mix, bouncing it down, then listening it on my laptop speakers, phone speaker, car speakers, etc... I mean, I still do that, but once I get it good using all the monitors in this plugin, I find it pretty much sounds good on all the other listening scenarios, too. There's much less iterating needed.

Thanks, yeah, I think it works as an editorial choice for effect/evocation like you describe, but my initial mixes, it all sounded like crunchy mush. In the end, I just really narrowed the eq band for the vocals and the solo has a somewhat wider band in the same area, but I notched it significantly where the vocals are present. So the solo kind of brackets the vocals frequency wise with the sum of them being a whole lot of mids/upper mids. A sorta unintentional side effect of the narrow EQ band on the outro vox is that it kinda sounds like an AM radio, which I think leans into the vibe of the song. The outro vox and guitar solo are panned left & right a bit, too, so they aren't right on top of each other. Another tricky part of the outro was the bass line, which starts down low around D1 and winds up at G3. So it is spanning some frequency lanes for the other instrumentation. I have it EQed more like a guitar and bring in some synth bass to hold the low end down as the bass line starts getting away from the lower register around where the vocal riffing comes in.

Thanks, still just a private track as I finalize the mix, but I'll be pushing it out to all the things eventually. I appreciate the ears. Thanks, appreciate the feedback. In my mind, I had David Lynch "Lost Highway" as the vibe/mood I was aiming for with the composition and instrumentation. Desert, isolation, surreality, mental discord, etc... I'll look at dialing back some of the things you call out in the chorus a little. I've been most worried trying to get the outro to work with all the things that are going on there competing for frequency space. Glad to hear from both of you that that is in a good spot. Btw, It has occurred to me that a hot bridge P90 would have been the perfect sound for the outro solo.

A new tune I'm finishing the mix on about a night spent driving through the Arizona desert and thinking way too much. Any mix feedback appreciated, especially the outro that gets pretty busy.

Parker Livingstone
You cannot tell me that Parker Livingston is not high as a kite in this video. Which is all right by me, because I'm high as a kite and he can ball... for a white guy. Know what I mean?

This is who Steve Sarkisian is.
Someone needs to make Sark and the staff run 120 gassers if they don't make the team run 10 gassers per penalty in this week's game.

I’ve liked Fralins better than stock Gibson P90s. I wasn’t impressed with Lollars. Just my opinion.

SJSU Game Thread
I feel pretty confident we are going to win this game unless the SJSU coach employs the Caucasian nickel defense in the 2nd half. 5 white walk on dbs that will confuse Arch as to where he should throw the ball.

I would like to go on record saying that Ewers would have self sacked for a 47735 yard loss on that last play.

The Surly Beginner Guitar Thread
Not much to tell, really. As a dude in his mid-50s, I find it easy to overplay if I don't warm up and gradually get into a session or gig. I sit for a living, so posture is generally an issue, and put a 10lbs weight around my neck pulling me forward and it doesn't take long before I'm feeling it in my lower back. So I have a little stretching routing I do before any session. Mostly upper body stretches (hand, arm, neck, back), and some warm up finger/picking exercises I do to get things going. I'll avoid the tunes that really require an effort until later in a set. I have back stretches I do nightly for the lower back. I find all this helps a good bit to avoid feeling like I've "overplayed." Arm fatigue, tingling, pain. If I ever feel any of that, I'll let my arm rest a week and it goes away. I don't gig a lot, 4-6 times between Memorial Day and Labor Day , so it's not a big thing to deal with the physical limitations in that context. Most of my playing is writing/recording, and that's where I'm finding myself impacted if I don't adhere to these routines.

Proper warm up and posture is pretty fucking important, more so as you get old and decrepit like me.

Big keyword there is "trying". It is a very badass track, and was a lot of fun to be a part of. Thanks!

I really appreciate being involved, it was a very inspiring piece of music to have as a canvas.

- Trump puts Washington police under federal control, National Guard to be deployed
Not just them, but you (the proverbial you), too. No one of any ideological leaning is exempt, unless you make the conscious decision to ignore the shit you can't verify or do anything about and focus on your proximal life and the things you can directly affect. If people of any ideologically zealous position show up on my property looking for trouble, they'll find it. Until then, hell, let's have a look at Tay-tay's bridal registry.- Trump puts Washington police under federal control, National Guard to be deployed
An angry, afraid and stupid populace is a manipulable populace.- Trump puts Washington police under federal control, National Guard to be deployed
Why the fuck are we not talking about a President from one political party deploying federal troops to cities in states controlled by the opposition party to intimidate its populace and usurp the lawful authority of duly elected local governance and law enforcement? Fuck all this Epstein pedo shit. Maybe it's true, maybe it's not, but there is no way we'll ever know definitively one way or the other. But what we do know, definitively, is that the President from one political party is deploying federal troops to cities in states controlled by the opposition party to intimidate its populace and and usurp the lawful authority of the duly elected local governance and law enforcement. The only people more manipulatable than Trump are all the people who abhor who he is and everything he stands for.- 2025 week 2 prediction thread- SJSU @ Texas.
Best prediction, imo. I don't see SJSU scoring a touchdown. We are a work in progress on offense, and not super explosive, so I think we will somewhat methodically kick the shit out of them. However, I am a shitty prognosticator, so... This is probably more correct. Arch pulled for a walk-on at halftime.- Trump puts Washington police under federal control, National Guard to be deployed
Big city, blue state. Duh. - Trump puts Washington police under federal control, National Guard to be deployed
