<2022-10-06T13:47:01.000Z> VBurner: oh hey
<2022-10-06T13:47:03.000Z> VBurner: I thought you were gone
<2022-10-06T13:47:24.000Z> VBurner: how've you been?
<2022-10-06T13:47:47.000Z> VBurner: how come you deleted your account? 
<2022-10-06T23:23:26.000Z> mute: had a schizo breakdown
<2022-10-06T23:23:31.000Z> mute: I'm good though lol
<2022-10-06T23:23:34.000Z> mute: how are you
<2022-10-07T16:24:01.000Z> VBurner: you good dude?
<2022-10-07T16:24:05.000Z> VBurner: I'm pretty good actually
<2022-10-07T16:24:12.000Z> VBurner: I keep scrapping projects
<2022-10-07T16:24:14.000Z> VBurner: but
<2022-10-07T16:24:23.000Z> VBurner: I'm improving at guitar
<2022-10-07T16:24:25.000Z> VBurner: so that's good
<2022-10-07T16:24:39.000Z> VBurner: I've also started recording my amp over using amp sims
<2022-10-07T16:24:51.000Z> VBurner: still using amp sims for everything but chords though
<2022-10-10T00:51:15.000Z> mute: Yeah I'm alright lol.that's awesome. I've been practicing drums like mad.Cool! micing or DIing an amp alwatys has a unique sound
<2022-10-10T17:45:02.000Z> VBurner: yeah, I managed to get a sound I really struggled with with amp sims almost instantly from micing it
<2022-10-10T17:45:07.000Z> VBurner: oh nice
<2022-10-10T17:45:23.000Z> VBurner: how long have you been playing the drums?
<2022-10-11T00:14:03.000Z> mute: only like a year
<2022-10-11T00:14:19.000Z> mute: I play like an hour plus every day though
<2022-10-11T00:14:36.000Z> mute: I actually made a retard error today and hurt myself doing it 
<2022-10-11T02:58:34.000Z> VBurner: oh shit what happened lol
<2022-10-14T13:37:34.000Z> VBurner: opinion on those cheap behringer pedals?
<2022-10-20T16:06:32.000Z> VBurner: I'm getting a bit better at drawing faces https://i.poastcdn.org/5755167d6e7d2490eab79dd41380f5715062436b8b973cf155953c780aa5f042.png
<2022-10-25T17:51:08.000Z> VBurner: any tips on making stuff that doesn't sound like shit? I keep trying to make new stuff but it keeps sounding like shit
<2022-10-26T15:30:19.000Z> mute: Oh I hit myself in the face while doing a blastbeat, LOL. Behringer pedals are alright as long as they work, I'd stick with delays, reverbs, etc. NOT distortions and shit though. those pictures are loading so Ill have to wait...
<2022-10-26T15:30:51.000Z> mute: A lot of how your music sounds is your own confidence and shit, but I'd say to really focus on the feeling, don't move forward until you have something that you can FEEL, the groove, etc.
<2022-10-26T15:31:54.000Z> mute: I think that image is not working.
<2022-10-26T20:11:10.000Z> VBurner: what distortions do you recommend? 
<2022-10-26T20:11:22.000Z> VBurner: and yeah I think DMing images might be jank
<2022-10-27T13:41:16.000Z> mute: nvm it works now
<2022-10-27T13:41:24.000Z> VBurner: oh cool
<2022-10-27T13:42:49.000Z> mute: I love the RAT, big Muff, fuzz factory
<2022-10-27T13:43:10.000Z> mute: I love fuzz pedals in particular but as far as *distortion* specifically goes the RAT is great
<2022-10-27T13:43:22.000Z> mute: that face looks creepy but I see the improvement!
<2022-10-27T13:43:36.000Z> VBurner: cool, I always see the RAT going for cheap on Reverb
<2022-10-27T13:43:59.000Z> VBurner: the Fuzz Factory seems cool
<2022-10-27T13:44:22.000Z> VBurner: how are you doing btw?
<2022-10-27T14:19:24.000Z> mute: fuzz factory is awesome just hard to dial in to normal sounds and not full on sonic youth shit
<2022-10-27T14:19:27.000Z> mute: but im into that so
<2022-10-27T14:19:37.000Z> mute: I'm doing well man how are you. been so busy.
<2022-10-28T03:07:35.000Z> VBurner: I'm pretty good actually
<2022-10-28T03:07:48.000Z> VBurner: work has been mundane
<2022-10-28T03:07:59.000Z> VBurner: I've been playing around with SunVox, a tracker
<2022-10-28T03:08:29.000Z> VBurner: I think next time I make something with synths only it'll be on a tracker
<2022-10-29T17:21:22.000Z> mute: that's probably a good move
<2022-10-29T17:21:26.000Z> mute: never heard of sunvox tho!
<2022-10-29T18:37:45.000Z> VBurner: it's pretty cool
<2022-10-29T18:38:33.000Z> VBurner: youtu.be/xK1VMKaxGoc
<2022-10-29T18:38:38.000Z> VBurner: here's a demo someone made
<2022-10-30T03:16:28.000Z> VBurner: how do I get better at playing in time more consistently 
<2022-10-31T22:21:16.000Z> mute: Like on guitar? Just practicing over with backing tracks
<2022-11-01T20:11:39.000Z> VBurner: alright I'll start doing that
<2022-11-01T20:11:50.000Z> VBurner: I've been trying to do it in my head and with a metronome
<2022-11-02T23:44:40.000Z> mute: TBH I dont like using metronomes other than on something super specific
<2022-11-02T23:45:24.000Z> mute: Are you sure your takes are THAT out of time?
<2022-11-03T04:53:22.000Z> VBurner: it's just ever so slightly
<2022-11-03T04:53:44.000Z> VBurner: but it bothers me when I try to work with it
<2022-11-04T15:57:23.000Z> mute: I think as long as the elements groove it's fine
<2022-11-04T15:57:45.000Z> mute: could also cut it to grid in the daw
<2022-11-04T16:23:22.000Z> VBurner: would that sound weird?
<2022-11-04T16:23:27.000Z> VBurner: but okay that's reassuring
<2022-11-04T16:23:32.000Z> VBurner: I've been trying to get it really exact
<2022-11-04T16:24:00.000Z> VBurner: here's how my current project's chords look https://i.poastcdn.org/3efc11f60f3c6eebc74b8d6a26ef6213f32c19f7469d096a6ef46178ecfb50ca.png
<2022-11-04T16:24:05.000Z> mute: sometimes. just depends on the track. you'll know it when you hear it and it's also a taste thing. I like really messy music so
<2022-11-04T16:24:15.000Z> VBurner: ahh lmao
<2022-11-04T16:24:16.000Z> mute: yeah that's probably too off
<2022-11-04T16:24:47.000Z> mute: the thing is it needs some concistency so the listener can feel the right time and their brain can fill in the rest when the performer naturally goes in and out of time
<2022-11-04T16:25:05.000Z> mute: also you should pmuch always crop that silence in the beginning
<2022-11-04T16:25:19.000Z> mute: and put the first transient of the first sound on 0.0.0
<2022-11-04T16:26:11.000Z> VBurner: I usually do that but I figured it would make the rest even more out of time
<2022-11-04T16:26:15.000Z> VBurner: let me just post how it sounds rq
<2022-11-04T16:26:35.000Z> mute: sure thing
<2022-11-04T16:26:47.000Z> mute: i gtg in like 10 minutes
<2022-11-04T16:27:03.000Z> mute: so the biggest thing is that the major elements are in time MOST of the time
<2022-11-04T16:27:33.000Z> VBurner: drive.google.com/file/d/1ihztizGoZtlHFS6A7R8GyAgemnGI_JG6/view?usp=sharing
<2022-11-04T16:27:49.000Z> mute: so if the things that the ear hears the most (highest LUFs not dB) are 99% in time that will be fine
<2022-11-04T16:28:28.000Z> VBurner: okay noted
<2022-11-04T16:28:52.000Z> mute: the 4th chord is the only thing that's too out of time there
<2022-11-04T16:28:57.000Z> mute: everything else sounds good
<2022-11-04T16:29:00.000Z> VBurner: cool
<2022-11-04T16:29:06.000Z> mute: I would move it a smidge sooner than it is
<2022-11-04T16:29:26.000Z> VBurner: the 4th chord is an E coming from a barre A so I'm still getting the timing down
<2022-11-04T16:29:56.000Z> mute: you can just move it in the daw
<2022-11-04T16:30:05.000Z> mute: Cut section and move it closer to the 4th beat
<2022-11-04T16:30:13.000Z> VBurner: I always feel dirty doing that lol
<2022-11-04T16:30:31.000Z> mute: You could try going up to a bar E on the a string instead
<2022-11-04T16:31:35.000Z> VBurner: that's the one where it's barred but the fingering is like a c chord, right?
<2022-11-04T16:32:33.000Z> mute attached file https://i.poastcdn.org/fb979f943e7d9f1473df7d659a264d5b694f0693ef00c1b16a741898e61117ec.png
<2022-11-04T16:32:41.000Z> mute: it would be this on the 7th fret of the a string
<2022-11-04T16:33:13.000Z> mute: so you can just move your fingers up 2 frets down one string instead of down 5 frets on the e, might mess up the chord voicing for your particular tone tho
<2022-11-04T16:33:59.000Z> VBurner: oh perfect, thank you
<2022-11-04T16:34:48.000Z> VBurner: the only barre E I knew was the one on the 4th fret
<2022-11-05T13:53:45.000Z> mute: np :)
<2022-11-11T20:33:25.000Z> VBurner: hey, what was the Orange amp you recommended again?
<2022-11-11T20:39:43.000Z> VBurner: was it the Micro Terror?
<2022-11-12T20:16:57.000Z> mute: I think so
<2022-11-13T00:02:48.000Z> VBurner: alright thanks
<2022-11-13T14:39:38.000Z> mute: yeah man hope you enjoy it
<2022-11-13T16:02:47.000Z> VBurner: I think I'm gonna get it with the Orange PPC108 cab, thoughts?
<2022-11-13T16:03:38.000Z> mute: honestly wouldn't buy
<2022-11-13T16:03:46.000Z> mute: but I like big cabs
<2022-11-13T16:04:02.000Z> mute: I feel like for speakers go big or dont bother considering you can just DI the micro terror
<2022-11-13T16:04:47.000Z> VBurner: hmm
<2022-11-13T16:04:55.000Z> VBurner: maybe I'd go a big bigger but I don't think I'd get a huge cab
<2022-11-13T16:05:06.000Z> VBurner: I was thinking I'd have it on my desk
<2022-11-13T16:05:18.000Z> VBurner: but I'd be happy to get a decent sized one
<2022-11-13T16:05:34.000Z> VBurner: I live in an apartment so I don't want to disturb my neighbours lol
<2022-11-13T16:05:40.000Z> mute: fair enough
<2022-11-13T16:06:19.000Z> VBurner: but what cabs would you recommend, in case I do decide to get a bigger one
<2022-11-13T17:16:05.000Z> mute: Orange ones tbh, I'd go BIG
<2022-11-13T17:16:06.000Z> mute: though
<2022-11-13T17:16:11.000Z> mute: like when you have a practice space
<2022-11-13T17:16:15.000Z> mute: like a 4x12 hahaha
<2022-11-14T20:29:38.000Z> VBurner: I have gotten a lot better at playing in time https://i.poastcdn.org/311aa6c632d6929ce20e1cf0a440fc9470ab1574ed7f23518023d046f38d5ca8.png

<2022-11-18T19:06:44.000Z> VBurner: do you think a Terror Stamp would be better than a Micro Terror? Because it has cab sim built in
<2022-11-19T05:17:34.000Z> VBurner: is this you lmao https://i.poastcdn.org/5e6b79fd5fdc5e58937465080f96a1ade506c8cb24731ac402122d2a92ccd553.png
<2022-11-19T15:07:39.000Z> mute: ya obv
<2022-11-19T15:07:46.000Z> mute: I migrated 
<2022-11-19T15:08:12.000Z> mute: No I think the micro terror would be better
<2022-11-19T15:08:22.000Z> mute: cab sims are shitty imo
<2022-11-19T15:08:57.000Z> mute: that tone on the file u sent is actually good already
<2022-11-19T15:09:12.000Z> mute: I like it. this song reminds me of have a nice life a lot. 
<2022-11-19T16:29:40.000Z> VBurner: it's with amp sims
<2022-11-19T16:30:12.000Z> VBurner: just I would like to burn my money, however
<2022-11-19T16:30:16.000Z> VBurner: thanks!
<2022-11-19T16:30:56.000Z> VBurner: ah are cab sims shit?
<2022-11-19T16:42:51.000Z> mute: I don't know, they seem like a meme to me, I think a real cab is good cause you're filling a room with a wall of sound that you can capture, and simulating that is kind of silly.
<2022-11-19T16:49:45.000Z> VBurner: yeah true
<2022-11-19T16:49:48.000Z> VBurner: I just need a decent mic
<2022-11-29T17:29:27.000Z> VBurner: do you have a recommendation for a budget tele?
<2022-12-01T00:39:30.000Z> mute: my friend has a baja tele from fender that was like 700
<2022-12-01T00:39:42.000Z> mute: other friend has a normal sunburst squier one that sounds great

<2022-12-19T01:52:18.000Z> mute: I sold almost all of my guitar gear sadly.
<2022-12-19T13:21:10.000Z> VBurner: oh shit why?
<2022-12-19T13:21:37.000Z> VBurner: no worries, I haven't been using poast much either
<2022-12-21T02:32:39.000Z> mute: I just never play guitar anymore I'm more focused on drums
<2022-12-21T13:06:37.000Z> VBurner: ahh got it
<2022-12-21T13:06:58.000Z> VBurner: because you said "sadly" I assumed you had to sell it for rent money or something lol
<2022-12-23T18:07:04.000Z> mute: oh nah I just think anything like that it sad haha
<2022-12-23T19:08:19.000Z> VBurner: got it
