Oh. Believe me. There was whipped cream involved. I keep a stash in the freezer for such emergencies, I was waiting for it to thaw.

Well gee, when you have a DAW that could power 3 nuclear submarines who needs to freeze anything. ?

You know Kenny's had his finger on the Submit Reply button for like 3 days now. Come on Kenny. Get the hell back here! ?

Well this is truly a thread that could never die.

LOFL

I'd try that and smash out my windshield. Hold my nearbeer ...

Some of the guys here suggested I do that in the other room. It had a longer decay and would probably make a better impulse. The more work I do in this room the more the reverb is declining. It's truly amazing how all this works. I would love to have a dedicated room that sounded like either one.

Reminds me of Ridgetop by Jesse Colin Young. "a yard full of bushes that turn in to pie in July". And the rest of it too ...

Just saw a vid on utoob that said John played one of these or something similar on While My Guitar Gently Weeps. It does have a very non-Paul style bass line in it imo.

OMG. Best punkin' pie I ever had. I made it from sweet pumpkins I grew this year. I'll never be able to eat a store bought one again.

That is hilarious!!! LOL I forgot all about the bikes. There's gotta be a side chain joke in there somewhere.

This guy has a lot of great DIY vids but this one shocked me. I was surprised at how inexpensive the parts are and they are used in "high end" mics. It sounds really good to me. He does a comparison at the end. I remember Mcq was building his own mic a few years back. Wonder how that turned out.

See ... now this is the kind of crazy humor I have that always gets me in trouble.

It's a great way to keep in touch with family, but other than that I have no use for it either. My only contacts on it are family members, a few friends from high school, and a lot of businesses I deal with. I only recently got involved with marketplace because a lot of the businesses I deal with here are forced to. It's the sign of the times. None of them, zero, zilch, nodda, use eBay. They all use marketplace and are all members of all the local town groups and farmers markets. There is only one store I sell to that would make it without the internet and even they would have went under during the covid lockdown. The only thing that kept them going were sales through marketplace and curbside or pickup or delivery. But yeah, it can be pretty toxic.

Earlier this year I mentioned that I accidentally created a reverb chamber in one of the rooms of my house. I just did it again. We bought a fixer upper house when we moved to MO about 9 years ago and I'm finishing up the last room now. It's about 15' x 16' with 8' ceilings. I put down a new subfloor that is smooth and we are waiting for carpet to come in a few weeks. Nothing changed in the room. Last week I put up crown moulding and still there was really no change. Then I caulked the top and bottom of the moulding and it instantly made another reverb chamber. I sat in there for hours last night playing my acoustic. It's unreal. It was the caulking I put on the crown where it meets the ceiling and the wall that made the difference. It must block the sound waves from going behind it and getting trapped and forces them to sweep over it and down the walls. I'm actually going to miss this room when it's done. It sounds so good. I don't know how it would be to record in though. I typically like dead and then add my own room sound. I'll post some pics later.

My problem is I simply don't trust eBay with that much personal information. I was heavy in to selling on eBay many years ago and set up a Paypal account with a link to my bank account. I do not trust eBay with that info. I barely trust Paypal. I've actually changed banks and they have my old bank account info but somehow I am still linked which makes me scratch my head. I've tried to change it and you have to jump through 10,000 hoops and call them and I think maybe even send them a letter, not email, to verify you want to make a change but I can't quite remember. I've been scammed on eBay multiple times by buyers, sellers, and eBay themselves. Their tech support is absolutely worthless. I stopped selling there a long time ago because they kept raising their fees and they've made a toxic selling environment. The only places I buy from are the large companies with thousands of ratings with a number I can call directly. I've gotten a lot of parts for things around my house from parts dealers and places like that, but I wouldn't buy from a personal seller there ever again. Screwed too many times. Facebook Marketplace is probably your best bet at this point because you ultimately have control. That said, I've been scammed twice on there by sellers. I saw an ad for a brand new receiver I wanted it for my garage. Asked the lady if it was still available and if she could come down on the price. She never responded, sent me an invoice for the full amount, and vanished. All I had was a screen to send her money. I could no longer message her or find her on Facebook or the listing for the receiver. Other times I've tried to ask sellers a question and never got a response. I've only ever had one transaction actually go through on Marketplace. I just bought an old Tascam 4-Track that I've been looking for, for 20+ years. But even he was a bit crazy. He insisted he come to me so I set it up to meet in the parking lot of a nearby police station. I wasn't sure if the newer unit would work with my older 4 track masters so I plugged it in to the AC convertor in my truck and brought my headphones to test it. He knew I was going to do it. I couldn't remember how to route it to the headphones and I told him I couldn't get it out of mono but I would figure it out. He didn't realize I had open back headphones on and I could here him say, "F*****g b******t. The f******g thing f*****g works." and he starts pacing back and forth like he's about to explode. The guy completely lost it. I finally got it and said it worked great and thanked him handed him his money and he calmed down and was actually pretty cool after that, but I seriously thought it was going down. He totally lost his **it and looked like he was about to snap. So I don't know what to tell you. eBay sucks, there's a bunch of scam artists and nutjobs on Marketplace but I think Marketplace would probably be your best bet. Just meet somewhere public like a police station or city hall. Some place with authority type figures and surveillance camera's everywhere. I wouldn't recommend a store parking lot like some people do. Yeah there's camera's, but if they aren't willing to drive another block or so to a police station you probably don't want to deal with them.

You guys. Sheesh. I'm a hard 50 and I feel great. Excuse me. Time now for my afternoon nap now.

He can't afford to, he's a musician.

Whoever told you that lied.

Seeing that article makes me wonder what kind of technology may be here already we aren't aware of. Something like this that has been lost in some Egyptian pyramid or Incan temple. You never know. Imagine the Great Pyramids being some form of magnetic based recorded library we haven't learned how to play back yet.

Thanks. I'm just waiting for Amazon to bring me some RCA to 1/4" cables now and I'll be able to get started transferring. I'm low on SSD space so I'll have to dig out my bundle of blank burnable DVD's. I don't think I ever opened them. Hah. I even have some blank 50G Blurays I think.

Haven't seen you post in a while and just checked your profile to see what your last post was and here it is. No shameless plugs in the CH eh? ? You know we get worried about you if we don't see you post there at least once a day. Great song. Great lyrics, vocals. Excellent mix and master. Danny's playing is superb as always. The bass was perfect in the mix. I see the Song forum is hopping again. I need to start checking out mixes here again. ??

I heard Alembic was bought out by Cort and will now offer an affordably priced Made In North Korea Gene Simons Signature Demon Bass.

It's all over their forum. It's real and everybody feels the same. They think it's the end.
