Hell yeah I got the beat! I was born with the f**kin beat! When I was a baby, I was bottle fed the beat! Now Im a MAN and all I eat is beets. I got a style NO mothaf**ker can beat!!! You feel me?! 😎

Yeah man. And there's actually something freeing about loosing it all. It's a lot like a colon cleanse... It hurts a little at first but it's good for u in-the-end 😄 (Btw, Im stealing that hearse line. That's a great freakin line!)

Go Gos, We Got The Beat

When I record vocals I usually go line by line or do punch ins. As we all know, slight changes in distance or angle to a condenser mic(esp the closer u are) changes the eq curve/tonality of each take. Often, when I get a great take the tonality will be a little diff than the clip next to it. So I'm left with the option of deleting the great take or inserting an eq on the clip and trying to match it. It usually takes me lots of trial and error to make it sound seamless. I know there are smart eqs that fix troublesome freqs. Im curious if there is software that can listen to one clip and approximately match the curve to another clip, not the eq settings, but the actually tonality/curve Im also curious how other users here deal with this issue. Do yall just keep punching in until it sounds seamless or do yall have a way of matching the tonality fairly quickly? I'll take any advice that may improve my results and speed up my workflow. Thanks!

Im sorry to hear that man. Well, I've never been anywhere near that financially well off but I also lost some precious gear. It was actually around that same time(2009) when I severely hurt my back. My kids had to eat so I had to sell all my gear. Incl my old faithful JCM800. But the one that REALLY hurt ("the one that got away") was my beloved "Marshmallow" ...a late 70's 50 watt tone beast that was basically gifted to me by a friend of a friend. The guy really loved my playing and just wanted me to have it. (Yeah, that happens to me everyday 😄) This was a VERY special Marshall. First, the reason we named it Marshmallow was because it had been in a large building fire a few yrs before I got it. Although the amp didnt directly catch fire, the rear chassis was left with burn scars. The guy I got it from was a really great tech. He had bought it, reupholstered it, upgraded all the damaged components and tweaked it to perfection. He was a massive Duane Allman fan so he dialed it in for that tone. That f**king thing sounded amazing! 😄 When I wasn't gigging it, I kept it at my bud's house. He lived in a place where we could crank it and jam. My bud had an old Marshall too but it couldnt touch the tone of that amp. Everytime I went pick it up from him, it broke his heart. We both adored that thing. We ran it thru my 800 cab with Rola 80s and pushed it with an SD-1. It was pure magic. But u know what? I don't really care anymore. The older I get, the less I care about material things. We cant take it with us when we pass on. What's more valuable to me now is the memories of all those great times jamming with my pals. I only hope whoever owns Marshmallow now is having as much fun with it as we did. Anyway, I pray God sends u a good job soon Craig. I have a feeling ur gonna be fine my friend. You may even look back at this as a time of spiritual growth, which is what's really important in this life. Cheers bud!

Of course my friend. Your video choices are very imaginative(& twisted) pwal. So much so they give me nightmares 😱

U still have that head Craig?

Oh that?! That's just because we lack imagination 🥴

I sure hope not Craig. Most of those beads are cheaply made with sharp little seams (Ouch!). For what ur thinking of, u'd def want something with better craftsmanship. 🙄

I live in Southeast Louisiana and I can hear the Mardi Gras parade passing in front my street. I literally COULDN'T CARE LESS. Crowds of loud people, plastic beads and cheap toys... No Thanks Unless they start throwing actual cash, I want no part of it 😋

Sounds pretty cool Rain. And yeah, I used to own a POD too. At one point, I also owned a POD XT Live pedalboard. And I used to own 2 Johnson J-Stations(Johnson's version of the POD) which I actually preferred. But your right, they were really cool back in the day. They even seemed very ahead of their time. I still rem when my buddy and I first got to play one. We prob looked something like this...
