OMG !!! Its Twit !!! Man, been many many moons !!!! Now we just need Thumper and the other old crew members to chime in !!!! You young pups, dont remember us old (10 year+) guys !! Any hoot, nice your around Twit !!!

Rain, flooding from Jan to May. Then DRY ASS weather from May until a week ago. Descent weather now. Knock on wood !!!

Easy fix !!! Say these few words !! "Your Fired" !!!! Some people, especially the younger ones 20's to early 30's, shut down when confronted about their weaknesses. Well hell, they hate anything that rubs them the wrong way. And thats about everything in life !!! Remember your team is as strong as your "weakest link". Let-em go !!!!

When people think of Reo Speedwagon , nine times out of ten they think of the mid 80's Reo. Well this isnt your 80's FM Radio Reo. This is off of Reo Speedwagon 2. Which I consider their best, well Reo's live album "You Get What You Play For" is up there too. First time I saw them was May 1st, 1977 in Ohio (Hara Arena). I think BOC opened for them, or Rick Derringer. Anyway, if you like Bluesy, Classic rock with killer guitar (Gary Richrath) licks, this whole album is for you. Shame they went very Pop Radio friendly in the 80's. Crank this song up !!!! Amazing opening guitar.

The Ultimate Biker Band !!! The Godz !!!! From my home state of Ohio. I still remember when the album hit. Bought the 8 Track and wore it out !!! Crank it up !!!!

You know whats prettier than "roses on a piano" ????? .............Tulips on an organ !!!!

Ok Ok !!!! Make me an admin. Swore I never would do it, but...,,,, if help is needed. Also its time to change up the maps and maybe add a different mod ? While the maps are rotated all the time, its always the same ones. Need some fresh ones !!! Anyway, I'm offering my service if needed

Cant beat good ole "Hillbilly Humor" !!!!

Gimme Dat Ding !!!!!

I'm a hopper...He's a hopper...She's a hopper...We're a hopper...Wouldn't you like to be a hopper too. Be a hopper...Jump like a bunny...Be a hopper...Jump like a bunny

Was it one of these boats !!! Spectre, Checkmate and Baja !!!! So purty !!!! All made right here in good ole Ohio !!!!

Need to see what is offered at my local. I hit 120 Mbps consistently. I heard Spectrum were or are working on fiber to house in our area.

The Golden Rule was the one thing I remember being taught daily in elementary school. Needs to be brought back. That and corporal punishment !!

Glad your ok !!! Scary shit !!!!

Sucks getting old !!!!! Falling apart at the seams !!!!

This was done a few years back. I had forgot all about this tune and two others I did for the band. My studio pc took a shit and I just got the new one put together a month ago. Been reloading all the crap I have recorded (of myself and other bands) for the past 10 years. Came across some stuff that I had forgot about, this being one. Would love to do a proper recording of the tune and try different approaches and layer a shit ton of tracks.

Damn Sound Cloud really mess with a mix. Changed overall eq a bit. Tried to edit first post but I see no edit button !!!

Your not Irish ???

On a similar subject. Seems a few tech companies and a tech college are working on monitors that can be focused. Meaning you plug in your glasses prescription and its in focus. No more glasses, well, at least for computer work.

No, its not me. Wasn't done in a living room , well actually my man-cave. Its a local band I know. I just recorded and rough mixed this one. Like I said, it was done as a "demo". All members playing in same room at the same time. Just added a few extra guitar tracks during the rough mix. The band actually got a huge deal back in the early 2000's. Toured with some major bands. But due to the economic shit in the early 2000 and bad label management, nothing ever panned out for them. Life happens Below are pics of where we recorded. Just a small home studio. Its a mess. Wife says I need to de-clutter.

Came across this rough mix that I did a few years back for a friend. Its an original tune his band wanted a demo tape of. Not looking for any mix critiques. Hell its just a live room recording with 3 additional guitar tracks. And some plugins. Looking for a "Song" critique.

Hey Bart !! I just built a 2700X too !!!! Stock cooler is more than adequate. My damn studio pc bit the dust (motherboard went bad) and I had to put together another one. I went with the Gigabyte X470 Gaming 5 motherboard. As far as cpu heat, no issues what so ever and the stock cooler is pretty damn quiet.

Check the air in the tires !!!!

Streaming services are "Ok". I subscribe to both Spotify and Pandora, and they are ok for what they are. But nothing beats the sound of a "good" vinyl pressing played on a "good" sound system. Well maybe Reel to Reel on a good system. Been around digital music since its inception and while its come a long way, its still not on par with analog (IMHO). But it still comes down to play back equipment used, as to what results you get. In the digital world, I prefer Burr-Brown or Wolfson DAC chips. Those two manufacturers chips sound more analog to me than say Cirrus Logic, Sabre, etc.. But I have yet to hear the newer Sabre32 ES9018K2M chip. It gets good marks on paper, but I rely on my ears. I have a Yamaha R-N602 that I use exclusively for streaming music from Spotify or Pandora and it uses the Burr Brown DSD 1791 chip (reason I went with it). We use it for streaming music outside. But if your only streaming music, then research and listen to the various DAC's out there. Especially if your streaming music via your TV's dac or Chromecast. You will hear a huge difference.

What !!! No turntable in the mix !!!
