It was excellent, in my opinion. Great acting and never really knew what would happen next!

Came here to say this. moisturizer is great!

I love TBOI, and intend to pick this up today.

This looks awesome! I haven’t had boudin in so long, and it never occurred to me to just make my own.

Absolutely nothing wrong with supplementing or replacing drums with samples! I have a friend who’s a very accomplished engineer and musician, and they do it for pretty much every project.

Weird microphone tricks (e.g. a 57 on a kick drum) are just stopgap solutions when there are no other options, kinda like replacing a bad kick drum sound — the most important part is to trust your ears and have fun!

Have the downvoters of your comment even been there?

Slightly off center and almost touching the grill is pretty standard placement for micing a cabinet, I think! I usually try to make a tangent line between the 57’s capsule and the cone of the speaker.

I’m right there with you about the B52 on a kick drum — that’s definitely my preference too unless the kick drum doesn’t have a port, in which case I usually go for a D112.

One could mic an entire band using just 58s and 57s, if push came to shove. Live sound can be a weird thing lol

Two or three inches up from the bottom-center of a non-ported kick drum works in a pinch, but never tried it with a ported head.

I believe I’ve seen a bass cab mic’ed similarly as well, though I for sure saw a Beta 58 (not a 52) used for this purpose quite a few times by pointing the center of the capsule directly at the bottom-center edge of the speaker ---- looks like partially mic’ing the wood, but I remember it worked really well!

I thought the same and then got a recent-ish car that had an “automatic” setting to dim or engage the high beams. It’s terrible. Taking tight corners on a dark rural road, they dim because the sensor detects the car’s own headlight reflection off of the trees, defeating the purpose.

So, I think a bunch of dipshit city folk leave the high beams on (in the city where they aren’t fucking necessary) and let the “automatic” setting handle it, poorly.

I learned how to drive in a rural area where using the brights is normal when you get out of town, with the caveat that you have to pay attention and switch back when creating a hill or coming around a corner.
