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 !!!

Yeah, not too many games will take advantage of the cores. But I do other cpu intensive stuff. Plus when I upgrade I use it for years. I usually upgrade GPU's before a new build, but didnt this round. Hell my CPU came out in October of 2012 and I think I built this pc in May of 2013. So its 6 years old. And my GPU is from 2013 also a Nvidia GTX-660ti. So Im due

Getting ready to build. Going with the AMD 1950X Threadripper, and a 2070 GPU. Still looking at boards, but leaning towards Gigabyte X399 Gaming 7 or maybe the X399 Xtreme TR4.

Too much acid or mescaline. Shine on you crazy diamond !!!

Are they flat too, our resident conspiracy theorist ? Well actually they might be. Like the cartoon holes Wile E. Coyote used

I installed 10 on a laptop a few years back and immediately forced updates to stop (manual). Not as easy as forcing 7 to stop in "process manger". If you stopped and selected manual start in 10 , it would restart a few days later or sooner on its own. Fuckers. So it took some digging but, I found a stop. Glad to hear they are realizing "updates" can mess with programs that people rely on in both business and relaxing. But I read its not a complete stop of the service (end of service updates still happen). I will just keep using the version I got. I know its update is dead in its tracks.

SPIV !!!! Have not heard that name in a while. The first time I played on an XI server (cod2). SPIV was on there !!!!! Man Pman !!! We are getting OLD !!!!!

Must be momma's boys and never played outside !!! Hung onto moms apron and teet !!! East and West Coasters

Give it up Street !!! Women always have to have the last word !! You've been around, you know this

April 15th is fast approaching for all us yanks !!! Get your taxes done or file extensions !!!!!!!!

Love you Bart !!!! Such a gentleman See you soon !!!

Fuck all that we've got to get on with these Gotta compete with the wily Japanese There's too many home fires burning And not enough trees So fuck all that We've go to get on with these

I am so glad I grew up in the late 60 and 70's. And Im glad I raised my kids to have "Tough Skin" too. To take criticism and learn from it. Not to be one of those kids we all know. The whiner, who quits playing tag because he was tagged it !!!! Damn pussy millennials and other younger shit asses are ruining society !!!!

Its just your everyday noises in here !!!!

Same here my KDR is ridiculous sometimes. Meaning I die more than I kill But I like to throw grenades alot. And it depends on whether I focus on the game at hand too. Sometimes beer and bud may come in to play. Dont care if someone is better or has a faster pc and connection. I just care about "SPAWN RAPING BITCHES !!!!! Boy Im beating that dead horse. And Black Cat 13, you stick me one more time and Im gonna take a grenade and shove it up your ass !!! Love ya !!!

Yea,.... these threads always end the same with no productive conversations. Too many SNOWFLAKES !!

There is a huge difference in "hacking" and "taking advantage of game exploits". What do I mean by "exploits"..... what I mentioned earlier about a player many complain about. He is a good player, but if he doesn't take advantage of exploits he is just like many of our good clan players. Anyone can google "specific maps" and learn spawn points and the spawn point rotations and take advantage. And thats what many of the "great players" do. Maybe crank up the spawn protection to help with "that issue" ?

Working on my "10 year" this year !!!

I have no problem with professional players who dont use a hack. Its when they exploit spawn points !! Thats is the issue. Not just camping a spawn, but learning the spawn points and running them. I never bitch much about stuff, but I had an issue with Everette "Spawn Raping" me. He knew when and where I was spawning and pick me off at every spot. Hell I even stood up for his ass when others bitched. Not now !!

Here is my issue. Many "professional" players run the spawn points. Thats it. Had that happen to me the other night with a player that many dont like. Had a full crew playing and one by one they left. Was just me and the player in question and he was just spawn raping me. He was up on high ground and just scoped the sequential spawn points and picked me off. That is not a "professional" player. Thats against the rules.
