My phone autocorrects dog to either dig or fig. At no point in my life have I wanted to discuss the AKC Fig competition or my great weekend dig handling.

no problems with dumbass autocorrects over-emphasizing corporations on Android.

First thing to do with a new phone: teach it obscenities. Saves everybody time in the long run.

I think the reality is that a lot of music gets hype these days because (young) people find the singer relatable. Clairo, Soccer Mommy, Snail Mail, Phoebe Bridgers, etc.

I don't think there's anything wrong with that, but it more has to do with the personality and personal reactions to music then the actual music sometimes. Eh I mean, as long as people are enjoying themselves.

Nice, but... Nope. She isn't dragging me away from Joni Mitchell.

I love songs with good lyrics. Music and poetry, hand in hand. And good lyrics often stand alone /as/ poetry.

But I spend a lot of time listening to songs in languages I don't understand at all.

Still waiting on some damn cables. If I knew it would take this long I wouldn’t have bought them but now that I did gotta have that snake oil.

Your damn headphones killed imgur.

That’s power

LMAO I love that getting a Yggdrasil is your first thought upon resuming consciousness and you immediately start pursuing it. Those'r some serious priorities you have, that you can get your brain to even do that at that point.

New Netflix series staring @rhythmdevils:
I Dream of Yiggy

I think we would all watch the shit out of that show!

I’m skeptical any iem rig could beat this. Well I guess there’s always the wavedream but I think the Gungnir is already maxing out the resolving potential of BA drivers.

Doh! Loki +. My rig is good enough. My rig is good enough. My rig is good enough.

At SBAF, we are all about first-hand experiences. Try it out on your main hard drive and report back ;-)

HD and SSD often have some magnetic shielding. Large driver orthos probably can’t generate a strong enough field to properly erase a drive. If you really want to wipe a hard drive on the cheap, consider getting a watch demagnetizer.

The magnets /inside/ an hdd are amazingly strong.

My wife is meeting a friend, at her work, next week, first time since covid. That friend keeps my off-site backup hdd. I was going to ask her to do a disk swap at the same time. Then I remembered that the friend works in the x-ray department.

C1's color science is a bit better than Adobe's for my taste, Adobe's cross platform sync and convenience for bulk editing is still unmatched. I use both, but I can justify it as a work expense. C1 is also headed to a subscription model. As is everyone. Fuck micro transactions - they really stink. Yay capitalism?

I use Adobe Audition. $264/yr with taxes. For ten year's use that is $2640. I don't need all the updates. So I can commiserate about hating the subscription model. I'm considering cancelling this year and using only Cubase and CEP2, which I already have.

GIMP really is very good these days.

I love Fleetwood Mac! Got to see them live in Oakland, CA. August 1975. Just after the album Fleetwood Mac came out. It was the first tour with Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks. Fantastic show.

@rhythmdevils - thank you, that really was an epic solo. And what a great piece of music!

The Chain was used as the music to the BBC's F1 motor racing TV show back in the day, which meant it was almost ruined from being overplayed. Three decades' distance, thankfully, has overcome that.

They will all go on loaner tours in pairs and Soranik is offering all of SBAF a 20% discount.

Jizzing that review

"shvonce" I did not know. But when @rtaylor76 mentioned "Hammond," I thought he was talking about his organ.

The sexual instrument or the musical instrument?

Whatever you make music with!

Is the LCD-2 Classic lighter because of less magnets? I thought it was because of the plastic enclosure which I much prefer to wood.

You’re still using a neck brace? I had my neck surgically reinforced with titanium rods.

Which model is it? 2C?

A second LCD-2 Classic. The first one turned out really well and I’m modding this one to send around and share. :)

I recognize those! Still has some poly fuzz in there.

I hated dealing with the 6SE and always did better with the OG HE6. I trust you to get better results than I ever did with those, looking forward to seeing what you can cook up :)

So much better than stock. Much more open, clear, resolving and fast with better tonality. They still have a bit of dullness that shouldn’t be there in a 1600$ ortho (from the driver). I’m currently trying to decide how to tune them to best make up for this.

As you can see from the picture this is another expensive neo ortho with no driver damping. And this driver needs it.

SwiftKey, at least, "learns" this stuff.

Well, this place transformed the way I think about and listen to both gear and music. If all you knew about food was McDonald's...

Sometimes I glance at my set up and think, "This is pointless. It doesn't sound like a real orchestra or a pianist." But I can't buy an orchestra, or resurrect a great pianist. So, inside my house, recordings are as good as it's going to get.

I look at my setup and wish it was just an iPod and I didn’t care and played geetar instead. But then the iPod sounds like shit. I’ve always had a love hate relationship with gear.
