@boltthrower @METALmimi_Mah That’s so awesome. Yeah pretty much the same story for me, minus the signed albums.

@SpacklMarketing @METALmimi_Mah Released in 1990 I think I was in 10th grade..... My friends and I ditched school after lunch because Megadeth was doing a signing at the record store. Bought 2 copies of the CD 1 is signed & has never been played....

メタルに人生を狂わされた海外の皆さん、あなたがメタルに目覚めたアルバムは何ですか？

The general philosophy is “try it before you buy it” and the honorable ones will download a cracked copy, then if it gets used in production, they will buy it before they release any mix that uses it. As a result many of these people try everything, and keep what gets integrated into their workflow. Because of the recent plugins that are integrating neural amp modeler code, people are familiar with what it can accomplish, as am I. That’s why recognition of what you have made is so strong for them. Truly a hybrid solution that is one of the closest we have gotten to hardware. Acustica uses another method to get to a similar feel. UAD Luna feels like hardware as well in some ways. It makes me excited for the future of recording and mixing tools. I would be proud too. All we all ever want to do is add something to the art. It’s rare when that actually happens.

@SpacklMarketing To be honest, it is a surprise news for me 😄 Every day many plug-ins is released, so they choose my plug-in, so I think that it is proud 🥹

ALA-101 Hybridization って Google で検索したらクラック版出てきてワロタ、怖くて中身みてないけど、ものすごい速さでそういうことされるんだなw

@maryguitars Sounds really good. It has that 1960s jazzmaster tone. It probably would do great spaghetti western Ennio Morricone style music.

@SpacklMarketing ありがとうございます！ピックアップはジャズマスターでクリーンの美しさと歯切れのバランスが最高です👍このモデルの仕様とは少し違いますが紹介動画がいくつかあるのでよかったら見てください▼ youtube.com/playlist?list=…

Vispa Donut-J2c 完成！ 見る角度で表情を変える､とても上品な柾目スワンプアッシュ。 影のように奥ゆかしく際立つカラーで仕上げました。 この佇まいのギター､万人でなくとも誰かの心に刺さってくれたら嬉しいです。#maryguitars

Americans think of motorcycles as gas powered steel horses. So it was only a small step to consider chariot races but pulled by two motorcycles instead of two horses. At that point it is an engineering puzzle on how to make the linkages work. So someone had to solve it. Then, someone crazy enough to test drive it has to be found. (This is often all the same person) Once they are driving around in it, others think “that’s awesome” and make their own. If you have two of them, racing each other is the obvious next step. This “series of small steps that lead to something gloriously insane” is admired, even while recognizing the utter madness of all of it. It’s the same way monster trucks happened and so many other extreme sports like street luge downhill bombing runs.

Apologies for intruding on your post, but I would love to know about any tool that truly works for that as well. Probably the solution is more likely to be a hybrid tool that uses the newest ai tech to sample the voice and rebuild it in another pitch, with a stage of the program that is like vocalign, that matches the timing using the source audio as a reference. Then a processing stage that manages vibrato and all the weird stuff that happens when it shifts pitch due to the size of the waveform and it’s correlation to the music scale difference between where you began and where you ended. Then a checker stage that compares the two. I wish it existed. It would save me from starting the whole project over in a new key after a hundred hours of work just to do it where it feels correct. I’ve had that be necessary for many different reasons, sometimes as simple as that it feels better in another key. Or sometimes the singer can’t hit the notes as well as he used to. I always try everything first and end up re-recording everything anyway. I got a demo of this plug-in recently (which is amazing) and I’ll bet that this programmer could get us closer than anyone based on how this one works. nk-productions.net/products/ALA-1…

I’m realizing that Japanese usage of posting on X has different unspoken expectations than in America. In America if someone posts something publicly we fully expect random people to comment on the post, and this can include people trolling, rage baiting, harassing, being rude etc. This can also include people correcting you or adding information or resources that back up the topic. We don’t consider this rude unless it is done in a rude way. But even then, most people don’t take it personally. In Japan it seems that there is a general respect where they don’t post in someone’s comments unless they are part of that person’s group or inner circle. So when they do they apologize in advance or add some sort of caveat or polite clarification. As if they were eavesdropping in person and interrupting a conversation others are having. I can see how Americans may come across as even more brash and rude than we are already perceived. So, apologies in advance Japan. It’s not intended to be rude, it’s just a cultural difference regarding expectations and decorum regarding public posting.

@Devon_Eriksen_ Better to have a gun and not need it than need a gun and not have it.

Okay, time to explain guns to our new friends. Every day, when I leave the house, I attach a holstered handgun to my belt, under my shirt or coat. I would no more leave the house without a gun than I would walk around outdoors without shoes. Is it because I "need" a gun? No. I live in rural Tennessee, which is state in the American south. It's very safe here. The dangerous parts of America are big cities where the local government is leftist, and they shelter illegal migrant from the third world, and won't send violent criminals to prison. Places like Chicago and New York City. Yet, any time I leave the house, I put on a gun, knowing that I will probably never have to use it, and if I do, it will probably be on an aggressive stray dog, not a human. So why do I do it? Why do many other people who live around me do it? Why do we do this so much that carrying a gun is considered totally normal? If someone spotted it, it would not even arouse a comment, much less any fear. In fact, it is legal to carry a gun openly here, without covering it up. Covering it up is just considered polite. So.... why? Well, try thinking of an English nobleman, during the reign of Elizabeth the First. When he dressed to go ride to court, he would hang a slender fencing sword, called a rapier or smallsword, from his belt. He didn't expect to be attacked. He didn't even expect to fight a duel. And if he was challenged to a duel, he wouldn't need his sword right then. He would meet his challenger later at an agreed-upon place and time. No, he wore his sword because it was an expression of who he was. He was a gentleman, a person of status, with the legal privilege of carrying a sword. By carrying a sword, he asserted his rights and prerogatives as a nobleman. In Japan, you had the same sort of thing happening. The samurai, members of the bushi class, wore the two swords not because they expected to be attacked at any moment, but because the two swords were an essential part of who he was. So, in these two cases, weapons were carried by noblemen as an assertion of status. They had the right to do so, and they did so in order to assert, exercise, and retain the right. Americans carry guns because every American citizen is a nobleman. When we fought the British for our independence, that war began on April 19th, 1775, when British troops, fearing American rebelliousness, marched out from Boston to confiscate guns from people living in the surrounding countryside. Our ancestors did not submit to this. We shot them instead, and they fled back to Boston with their tails between their legs, to cower under the cover of the guns from the warship HMS Sommerset. Thus began several years of war. And when we won that war, we made a country where no government, and no man, would ever be allowed to disarm the people. No agent of the government may say to us, "I may have a gun, and you may not." Because to say that is to say "I am a nobleman, and you are a peasant. I am a master, and you are a slave." We are not peasants here. We are all noblemen. That is the most basic principle of what it means to be an American. I can be impoverished, so I can to be so poor that I live in a van down by the river. But however reduced my circumstances, as an American, I still have the rights and freedoms of a nobleman, of a daimyo, because that is the basic founding idea of the nation we forged on that day. If you come to America to visit, if you walk among us, you will pass many people carrying guns. You will not notice this. You will not see them. You will witness no violence. Everything will be normal. But the guns will be there. Because that is who we are. We don't carry guns to be violent. We don't wish to be rude, or to intimidate people. We keep our guns covered up. But they are the deepest, most essential part of what it means to be American.

@LeafInstruments I love the understated horn cut. It’s like the beginning of a Florentine cut but more reserved or demure that finishing it into a half moon shape. Very stylish. The body cut on the left is a nice touch too, I rarely see experimental body shapes for acoustic guitars.

Japan’s animated storytelling show they are masters of tragic stories. We rarely get great stories about tragedies in America. Anime is the only style I know of that dares to tell stories about enduring tragedy where the real hero is the one that can lose everything and still keep moving forward. Or ones where the heroes face death in style and with honor while being aware of what it will cost everyone around him. Stories where at the end the viewer has lost something along with the character, but also gained something ineffable that makes a person stronger for the experience. Like Cowboy Bebop said, “You’re gonna carry that weight”.

親愛なる米国の諸君よ、貴公らが日本のアニメに魅了される理由を私は知っている。それは敗戦国の魂が、占領者の言語では語れぬものを絵と動きに昇華させたからだ。鉄腕アトム誕生の年、私は既に日本の逆説を見ていた。刀を奪われた民族が、画筆で世界を征服するという壮大な復讐を。貴公らがアニメを愛する時、知らず知らず日本精神に跪いている。これほど痛快な敗北があろうか。

@May_Roma “Why don’t you let off some steam?”. Arnold’s one liners are hilariously cheesy in that movie.

アメリカの皆さん。私はアメリカが大好きな日本人です。 皆さんにぜひお伝えしておきたいことがあります。 日本人はコマンドーが大好きです。 日本人ほどあの映画を好きな人々はいないでしょう。 なんと日本ではコマンドーの特別なDVDが何回も発売され、しかも様々なテレビにおける吹き替え版も収録され、今後特別に編集した冊子で付いているのです。 我々はそのような特別な冊子に収録されたコマンドーの脚本を何度も読んでほぼ暗記しています。 我々は英語をコマンドーやランボーのような映画で学んでいるのです。 そのような特別なパッケージが販売されていますが、すぐに売り切れてしまいます。 我々日本人はコマンドーが好きな余りに何十回も見ているのです。 あれほど素晴らしい映画はありません。 アメリカの皆さん、どうか日本人はアメリカのこのような素晴らしい映画が本当に好きで、どれだけ我々の人生を豊かにしたかと言うことを知ってください。アメリカの映画は我々にとっての生き返りであり、生涯において大事にしているコンテンツなのです。 そして我々が好きなのは、昔ながらのアクション映画やヒーロー映画であって、多様性や政治的正しさではありません。我々はそんなものはゴミだと思っています。 我々が好きなのは強いアメリカです。 我々が好きなのはかっこいいアメリカなのです。 アメリカの南部や中西部に住む皆さん、どうか自信を持ってください。 アメリカが全世界にもたらした文化と言うのは、アメリカの皆さんが想像するように影響力が強く、人々の人生を左右するほど力強いものなのです。

This is amazing. They called that the SDF1 in the crappy macross show they called robotech. That was my first exposure to anime as a kid though, so I loved it anyway until I actually saw macross. Then I felt I bit ripped off. The detail in your model is excellent. I’d love to see a show where you build those. That’d be cool.

@Devon_Eriksen_ @nanashi33123 An armed society is a polite society.

I carry a holstered handgun under my jacket whenever I leave the house. In much of United States, this is not a universal practice, but it is a normal one, and would not be considered strange. We don't do this because we expect trouble. Instead, it's a cultural expression of our customs and values. In the same way that an English during during the reign of Queen Elizabeth the First would carry a rapier, or a samurai would carry the two swords, as an assertion of their rights and status as gentlemen, free Americans assert our right to carry arms by actually doing so. That right exists because we are not less than the government. It is not our parent, and we are not children. If policemen and other agents of the state carry guns because they have the authority to use them when necessary, then so do we. Pistols are simply a part of my daily life. I have a bunch of them, which I wear different types of clothes, just as you might wear different pairs of shoes depending on the occasion. In practice, they are rarely, if ever, needed. In fact, in areas where carrying concealed handgun is a common practice, people rarely assault others or start trouble. Most of the stories you hear about street violence in America come from areas where people don't carry guns. And most the gun violence statistics from America are blacks killing other blacks. One of the best parts about this custom is that where people carry guns, it's not safe to pick on anyone. Even tiny, delicately built women, or old people. I realize that in Japan, carrying guns, even without violent intent, might be seen as bad manners. Perhaps it might be seen as expecting your neighbors to be uncivilized, which would be rude. I sympathize. We all want a peaceful society where we can trust our neighbors. But for us, carrying a gun is an expression of our belief that every American is important, that they matter, and that therefore every American, not just some set of special people, has the right to be armed.

Dear Japanese people: Do not believe this false propaganda. Breakfast handgun should be laid on its LEFT side, pointing outward, so you can quickly grasp it with your right hand, in case of communists.

@May_Roma You have great taste, but Slayer got the follow. Hello from Sputh Carolina.

Mid/Side processing works well in these situations instead of LR stereo. If it’s mono it’ll end up in dual mono with the center in mono, if the track turns out to be narrow stereo, then all the other info that’s supposed to be the stereo info gets pushed out to the sides and it’s still stays mono compatible. That’s usually how I solve the issue in my studio when mixing or mastering, and it’s worked well for me.

ステレオっていう概念は左と右のスピーカーの差異によって現れる 左と右がまったく同じだったら真ん中に聴こえる(※聴こえているだけ、という罠。真ん中にスピーカーが存在しないので) よって一本のマイクで録ったものは絶対にモノラルになる。物理的に信号が1系統しかないので。 みかけ上ステレオトラックになっていたとしても左右の信号がまったく同じであれば音はモノラルとして出る。意味ない かといって別にステレオで送られてきても、通常、処理上は困らない(そのままシカトして処理するか、モノ化してしまえばよい) 問題は、初めてデータを見る人が、わずかながらでも本当にステレオなのか モノラルのトラックが見かけ上ステレオとして書き出されているのか それを調べなきゃいけなくなるということ。 書き出しによる事故なのか、意図的なのかを疑わなければならなくなる。 そして、モノラルであればモノラルに相応の処理が、わずかでもステレオであればステレオに相応の処理が必要になるからである。 また見た目上でも本来モノラルのものがステレオとして表示されることは居心地が悪い。 toolsなどはそもそもモノラルトラックで立ち上げるかステレオトラックで立ち上げるかみたいなオプションがあったはず ので、送る側は明確な意図を持ってステレオとモノラルは区別し、書き出し時もそのように処理すべきである。
