  1. Literally the sound of the 1980s right here.
  2. You definitely don't want a big hall reverb. The amount I'm using is very small. I'd say the amount is about the same amount as the normal acoustic reverb from my cello or from a piano. It's just enough to make it sound like a real instrument.
  3. lol @ comparing Manziel to Deion.
  4. OMG. I'm in tears. I'm laughing so hard. That's the funniest thing I've seen this weekend.
  5. remember BumFights? those old videos where homeless addicts were paid money to fight each other?
  6. another case mccoy moment
  7. Hit the Mute button, and play Yakety Sax on repeat while watching.
  8. There it is.
  9. omg, this game is so funny
  10. Yeah, it's Auburn, after all. They're bad.
  11. LOLOLOLOL
  12. Auburn is going to lose because they suck, not because of a bad call by the refs.
  13. ou beating bama is funny because we beat them by 31
  14. A bit of advice. When learning the cello, I got mixed advice on how to play loudly. Phyllis Young at UT told me to play as loudly as possible, so that you hear your mistakes; other teachers taught me to practice at the volume I intend to perform at. In that case, both my own judgment/experience -- and the stellar performing/careers of the others -- made me decide to practice at the volume I intend to perform at. Something I've noticed on the guitar -- since my goal is to mostly be doing things at extreme amounts of gain -- is that I have to be FAR more accurate and deliberate with the gain/distortion cranked than I do playing clean/acoustic. And since I'm typically practicing with high gain, I've had to develop more accurate left-hand techniques and much better muting than I ever did when I was just playing acoustic. Not only that, but when I do switch to clean channel/acoustic sounds, it's much easier to play that way. Also: Shut off all the effects, too, except for maybe a wee bit of reverb. Chorus is going to disguise when you're out of tune, gating is going to mask small errors you make, delay... fuckin' seriously? Yeah, you may record with all those things, but when you're practicing, you don't want effects to hide your mistakes.
  15. I blew $225 on a Yamaha Pacifica 016DLX and have exactly zero regrets. Amazingly well-made, easy-to-play and good-sounding guitar for the price.
  16. Great win. Trap game next week, I hope we don't overlook it while celebrating.
  17. ...like I said...
  18. Our defense has much more moxie, unfortunately for him.
  19. Cocksuckery.
  20. Oh, and South Carolina beating the pants off of wu (tee-hee!)
