Last Notes npub1wqh0gsvutr2tzghwhxxca76ggxapzq7yarl72wrw0vsfgdwcgcfqekvtmz The Tired Horizon @npub1fgl…4jl4 Our domestics use them at work (hospital) never heard any problems. Meant for short pile carpet really I suppose. npub1wqh0gsvutr2tzghwhxxca76ggxapzq7yarl72wrw0vsfgdwcgcfqekvtmz The Tired Horizon @npub1fgl…4jl4 . . Henry Hoovers....?? npub1wqh0gsvutr2tzghwhxxca76ggxapzq7yarl72wrw0vsfgdwcgcfqekvtmz The Tired Horizon I have ordered 3 Warm Audio mics. 😮 Two d19 clones/updated "Beatles mics", and one 251 based mic. That'll be the first tube mic I've ever owned. I really need a decent, modern mic stand now too. The Hercules and the old one work, but there must be something a little better out there. 🤔 On my radar are a couple of Coles ribbons and m160 mics. Need to save up for those for quite a while. The Coles need special adapters to work/mount too, annoyingly not sold with the mic. npub1wqh0gsvutr2tzghwhxxca76ggxapzq7yarl72wrw0vsfgdwcgcfqekvtmz The Tired Horizon So musicians of Mastodon, should I create a Lemmy community for all things audio and recording? Would that be popular there? #music #MusicProduction #homestudio npub1wqh0gsvutr2tzghwhxxca76ggxapzq7yarl72wrw0vsfgdwcgcfqekvtmz The Tired Horizon Behringer makes shitty stuff. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2C7B3dnyt4 Just spend an extra £150 if you want a cheap version of the 1073 and get the Warm Audio one ffs. The AMS Neve one is 1500. You dont need the stereo version if you're in a project/home studio. You're probably only recording one thing at a time. #musicstudio #MusicProduction #tech #recording npub1wqh0gsvutr2tzghwhxxca76ggxapzq7yarl72wrw0vsfgdwcgcfqekvtmz The Tired Horizon @npub1437…ranm what I have found weird is how the Fifine 30 quid mic has become one of my faves. I also have an AKG d65s from the mid 90s thats still amazing. That thing cost me £30 in the 90s. npub1wqh0gsvutr2tzghwhxxca76ggxapzq7yarl72wrw0vsfgdwcgcfqekvtmz The Tired Horizon I've got a couple of good mics now after years of working hard to save the money. I've a modern pair of c414s (sadly Hungarian, not the Austrian ones). I've an Austrian Audio 818. A pair of 040 micro SDCs. Drum sets, Shure 57s etc etc.. ...there is a church down the road from me (and probably many others near me) that always sounded cool. Even as an atheist its tempting to email them and ask about hiring it as a recording space, or ask if they have a choir. #music #MusicProduction #recording npub1wqh0gsvutr2tzghwhxxca76ggxapzq7yarl72wrw0vsfgdwcgcfqekvtmz The Tired Horizon https://www.youtube.com/shorts/SoEqx11g9NQ Wait for it.... npub1wqh0gsvutr2tzghwhxxca76ggxapzq7yarl72wrw0vsfgdwcgcfqekvtmz The Tired Horizon @npub1437…ranm facebook/meta makes money selling a business version of fb to corps and institutions. We have a local one for our Trust that only Trust members can access. npub1wqh0gsvutr2tzghwhxxca76ggxapzq7yarl72wrw0vsfgdwcgcfqekvtmz The Tired Horizon @npub1437…ranm nice dubby effect to this. npub1wqh0gsvutr2tzghwhxxca76ggxapzq7yarl72wrw0vsfgdwcgcfqekvtmz The Tired Horizon I made some music.. https://soundcloud.com/thetiredhorizon/the-sleeper-010524 npub1wqh0gsvutr2tzghwhxxca76ggxapzq7yarl72wrw0vsfgdwcgcfqekvtmz The Tired Horizon @npub1437…ranm Me calling Ross a cunt isnt going to get as far as no.1 😂 npub1wqh0gsvutr2tzghwhxxca76ggxapzq7yarl72wrw0vsfgdwcgcfqekvtmz The Tired Horizon Today I have set up a microphone (Fifine K669D), a recorder (Zoom H6), and I have recorded about an hour of my voice just boringly talking about my experiences at work, on the bike a rant about Friends tv show, a rant about politicians... npub1wqh0gsvutr2tzghwhxxca76ggxapzq7yarl72wrw0vsfgdwcgcfqekvtmz The Tired Horizon @npub1437…ranm I'm sorry - I was distracted by your huge organ. npub1wqh0gsvutr2tzghwhxxca76ggxapzq7yarl72wrw0vsfgdwcgcfqekvtmz The Tired Horizon Playing around with a 12/8 time signature today after watching some videos on Afro-Cuban and Caribbean rhythms. Sounds nothing like them, obviously. https://media.mstdn.social/media_attachments/files/112/287/689/924/637/767/original/267c452cc6c2996c.mp3 npub1wqh0gsvutr2tzghwhxxca76ggxapzq7yarl72wrw0vsfgdwcgcfqekvtmz The Tired Horizon @npub1437…ranm Got a nice flow to it. Bass sounds fucking amazing! 😎 npub1wqh0gsvutr2tzghwhxxca76ggxapzq7yarl72wrw0vsfgdwcgcfqekvtmz The Tired Horizon @npub1mqx…xqll RORY GALLAGHER - Shadow Play npub1wqh0gsvutr2tzghwhxxca76ggxapzq7yarl72wrw0vsfgdwcgcfqekvtmz The Tired Horizon @npub1437…ranm One of the blokes at work went "I'm into reggae!" I said "Oh Horace Andy?" "Who?" Turned out he was into some South African influenced offshoot. Not actual reggae. Also he didnt know Andy. npub1wqh0gsvutr2tzghwhxxca76ggxapzq7yarl72wrw0vsfgdwcgcfqekvtmz The Tired Horizon Might have a play with this again today https://media.mstdn.social/media_attachments/files/112/240/608/402/737/824/original/c277f856ccc8d6a6.jpg npub1wqh0gsvutr2tzghwhxxca76ggxapzq7yarl72wrw0vsfgdwcgcfqekvtmz The Tired Horizon Experimental beats, dreamy guitars, thick pad synthesizers... https://soundcloud.com/thetiredhorizon/worth-saving-mix4-040424 Lead guitar came out nothing as I'd wished. Its supposed to be busy sounding. The P Bass was 50% blend compressed by the Ego76. Then in the Helix a tad. It came out monstrously low heavy. I've an octaver in there too. npub1wqh0gsvutr2tzghwhxxca76ggxapzq7yarl72wrw0vsfgdwcgcfqekvtmz The Tired Horizon @npub1437…ranm when I describe my own focus I often say "anal" LOL I'm very conscious about describing others actions though. And that just seems like a really bad word to use now I think on. npub1wqh0gsvutr2tzghwhxxca76ggxapzq7yarl72wrw0vsfgdwcgcfqekvtmz The Tired Horizon @npub1437…ranm Southampton had a massive live band scene too. The bands have all dwindled in recent years. Almost all the venues have been forced to shut down live music due to rules Blair brought in. npub1wqh0gsvutr2tzghwhxxca76ggxapzq7yarl72wrw0vsfgdwcgcfqekvtmz The Tired Horizon This is part of the reason music died here in the UK https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNtgnGkqgHA When you're left with only a laptop to make music the genres start to ebb away as to what you can construct. This affects music teachers as well as professional musicians. #UK #News #Music #guitar #vocalist #classicalmusic #homerecording npub1wqh0gsvutr2tzghwhxxca76ggxapzq7yarl72wrw0vsfgdwcgcfqekvtmz The Tired Horizon This arsehole's been spying on me... 😅 https://media.mstdn.social/media_attachments/files/112/174/076/442/894/400/original/44140fb2c57bdc6a.jpg npub1wqh0gsvutr2tzghwhxxca76ggxapzq7yarl72wrw0vsfgdwcgcfqekvtmz The Tired Horizon Indian Rosewood my arse...! Still sound nice for 12 quid. The smaller Nino brand claves sound VERY good for 6 quid!! Need to get a set of African claves in a few woods now too. Also want some traditional Mexican percussion. #musician #composer #recording #music #MusicProduction #musicalinstrument https://media.mstdn.social/media_attachments/files/112/163/927/185/677/813/original/ec908cd820919984.mp4 npub1wqh0gsvutr2tzghwhxxca76ggxapzq7yarl72wrw0vsfgdwcgcfqekvtmz The Tired Horizon @npub1437…ranm its called a tablet aint it? 😅 (*I know nothing) npub1wqh0gsvutr2tzghwhxxca76ggxapzq7yarl72wrw0vsfgdwcgcfqekvtmz The Tired Horizon Tried again to clean the solar panels on the shed. Again sabotaged by the way my Father leaves the shed. The way tools get broken, shit all over the place in the way. The window cleaning brush has just been useless. You cannot adjust it to full extension as the clamp is fucking glued. I have no idea why he bought this?? I push the brush out ,it all retracts. I am a 15 stone working man and cannot get the clamp to move. I smashed it on a wall and it wont move. Who makes this shit & why?? npub1wqh0gsvutr2tzghwhxxca76ggxapzq7yarl72wrw0vsfgdwcgcfqekvtmz The Tired Horizon @npub1437…ranm never be amazed by arseholes, I suppose. Arseholes think they can elevate themselves by stamping on others as they clamber up. npub1wqh0gsvutr2tzghwhxxca76ggxapzq7yarl72wrw0vsfgdwcgcfqekvtmz The Tired Horizon @npub1437…ranm yeah the admins of another server said a few nazis have tried to set up. I suppose thats the risk of open-source npub1wqh0gsvutr2tzghwhxxca76ggxapzq7yarl72wrw0vsfgdwcgcfqekvtmz The Tired Horizon Wish #Odysee comp'd these sound files and thumbnails into a full mp4 some times or just displayed the image all the way through... https://odysee.com/@thetiredhorizon:f/FearTheAI_project_FullComp_tiredhorizon_070224:0 This is my Fear the AI project I worked on a while back. #poetry #poem #experimentalmusic #soundscape #AI npub1wqh0gsvutr2tzghwhxxca76ggxapzq7yarl72wrw0vsfgdwcgcfqekvtmz The Tired Horizon I'm fucking shattered but have to do another 13 hour shift tomorrow because the Trust fucked all my leave up... ..and today we had 4 guys out of a 9 guy team left. There is shit all over that hospital we cant deal with any more.... npub1wqh0gsvutr2tzghwhxxca76ggxapzq7yarl72wrw0vsfgdwcgcfqekvtmz The Tired Horizon @npub1437…ranm I have the KArp module on a shelf in storage. One of my fave bits of kit that I wont touch. I keep meaning to bring it out and sample it. npub1wqh0gsvutr2tzghwhxxca76ggxapzq7yarl72wrw0vsfgdwcgcfqekvtmz The Tired Horizon @npub1437…ranm all these podcasters are doing it. Have read somewhere (but forget where) that its down to algorithm changes, theyve all lost income and so are trying to outrage to get the views. npub1wqh0gsvutr2tzghwhxxca76ggxapzq7yarl72wrw0vsfgdwcgcfqekvtmz The Tired Horizon @npub1437…ranm the phone control thing is easy. We have work phones where many features are locked off and you need a second pin to access features not green lit. I dont think any parent should be letting their kid on socials. Even here. I think this is a place for adults. Most socials rely too much on algorithms that might push harmful things forward (certainly twitter). npub1wqh0gsvutr2tzghwhxxca76ggxapzq7yarl72wrw0vsfgdwcgcfqekvtmz The Tired Horizon This is something that is fixable... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-68300969 ...by Parents! Why are they waiting for legislation when they themselves can already limit their kids' access to the web? Take the phone away. Take the computer away. Sit in the same room and monitor what they do. Companies also provide barebones phones to business - they could sell similar to parents where its just text and phone (and restricted/approved numbers). npub1wqh0gsvutr2tzghwhxxca76ggxapzq7yarl72wrw0vsfgdwcgcfqekvtmz The Tired Horizon @npub1437…ranm Loved the look of Reaper. It reminded me of the old, old Logic (well in one of its skins). Not sold on Linux for music, seems to be a hash there. No asio etc. I use windows still. PITA but a workable one (though had a fit today as it tried to update when recording) npub1wqh0gsvutr2tzghwhxxca76ggxapzq7yarl72wrw0vsfgdwcgcfqekvtmz The Tired Horizon @npub1437…ranm I hated the protools experience when I tried it, and was confused how that became an industry standard. npub1wqh0gsvutr2tzghwhxxca76ggxapzq7yarl72wrw0vsfgdwcgcfqekvtmz The Tired Horizon Noticed a drop off in followers. Will now go through and purge. Blocking many. I'm a warts and all kind of bloke and dont appreciate people following for the sake of bumping up their numbers. For fuck sake #mastodon people, just follow people that inspire, interest and educate. npub1wqh0gsvutr2tzghwhxxca76ggxapzq7yarl72wrw0vsfgdwcgcfqekvtmz The Tired Horizon @npub1437…ranm this bloke at work said they'd opened a portal, called through a demon and eaten babies with the demon. Must be true if he said it. npub1wqh0gsvutr2tzghwhxxca76ggxapzq7yarl72wrw0vsfgdwcgcfqekvtmz The Tired Horizon @npub1y7x…jrl4 I think John Peel used to play her over here. That radio DJ introduced me to so much music. npub1wqh0gsvutr2tzghwhxxca76ggxapzq7yarl72wrw0vsfgdwcgcfqekvtmz The Tired Horizon @npub1437…ranm weirdly I was thinking the same. It looked like a video game. Its more due to the frame rate and way the little plastic lenses work on those cameras though. npub1wqh0gsvutr2tzghwhxxca76ggxapzq7yarl72wrw0vsfgdwcgcfqekvtmz The Tired Horizon @npub1437…ranm @npub1p67…xh53 I've got wind. Does that count as biofuel? 😂 npub1wqh0gsvutr2tzghwhxxca76ggxapzq7yarl72wrw0vsfgdwcgcfqekvtmz The Tired Horizon If you're setting up a home studio for recording music, vocals, podcasting etc... DONT hang untreated/unsealed rockwool, fibreglass or similar on the walls. These materials fragment and shed over time and you will inhale it. This could lead to any number of respiratory illnesses. You'll be better to learn the science behind acoustics and position mics, furniture and pro quality foam and panels instead. Dont cheap out for your health. npub1wqh0gsvutr2tzghwhxxca76ggxapzq7yarl72wrw0vsfgdwcgcfqekvtmz The Tired Horizon I **THINK** I've updated my line 6 Helix. Computer and the Helix both crashed into blue screen. Cant get HX Edit software to run so had to use their basic updater. Now family are here and I cant test out anything. https://media.mstdn.social/media_attachments/files/111/659/005/464/084/452/original/f9d4f7c62cf03a98.mp4 npub1wqh0gsvutr2tzghwhxxca76ggxapzq7yarl72wrw0vsfgdwcgcfqekvtmz The Tired Horizon Just listened to this https://liotia.bandcamp.com/track/silence by @npub1437…ranm ..holy shit this is good!! #music fans of #portishead #massiveattack etc might like this. npub1wqh0gsvutr2tzghwhxxca76ggxapzq7yarl72wrw0vsfgdwcgcfqekvtmz The Tired Horizon @npub1437…ranm TBH they were asking him about girl bands. He was never going to do well with modern life. npub1wqh0gsvutr2tzghwhxxca76ggxapzq7yarl72wrw0vsfgdwcgcfqekvtmz The Tired Horizon @npub1437…ranm @npub1780…uppd you couldnt strictly do it before to be fair. But the language was more woolley. When Epic took over they changed the TOC to state that if someone fraudulently uses a card to pay for music, the artist pays. npub1wqh0gsvutr2tzghwhxxca76ggxapzq7yarl72wrw0vsfgdwcgcfqekvtmz The Tired Horizon @npub1437…ranm Yeah those NUX pedals are great. I have a similar one by Mooer. I do also have a Helix, but thats been in storage. Most of my guitar I've recorded in recent years has been VST IR etc. npub1wqh0gsvutr2tzghwhxxca76ggxapzq7yarl72wrw0vsfgdwcgcfqekvtmz The Tired Horizon @npub1437…ranm I'd go even further than that. Tone comes from the speaker. Thats why everyone has latched on to IRs. You can literally get a great tone out of just the guitar into a pedal into the DI then IR. Strings, pickups, etc, its all marketing bullshit really. npub1wqh0gsvutr2tzghwhxxca76ggxapzq7yarl72wrw0vsfgdwcgcfqekvtmz The Tired Horizon @npub1437…ranm I had that with all the tube screamer guys on the forums. "You NEED the ts5/10/blah!" Me, recording just the Marshall and a non-57 mic, then getting all the crazy love on the comments about the tone. They were blown away at the time. npub1wqh0gsvutr2tzghwhxxca76ggxapzq7yarl72wrw0vsfgdwcgcfqekvtmz The Tired Horizon @npub1437…ranm whod did you watch? I tend to prefer the 60 cycle hum guy, a bit of JHS. You have to take it all with salt obviously. npub1wqh0gsvutr2tzghwhxxca76ggxapzq7yarl72wrw0vsfgdwcgcfqekvtmz The Tired Horizon @npub1437…ranm they're not ever reviewing, they're selling you something now. npub1wqh0gsvutr2tzghwhxxca76ggxapzq7yarl72wrw0vsfgdwcgcfqekvtmz The Tired Horizon Hexbear site glamourising and simping for a psuedo-communist maniac dictator. I wonder how much of Mastodon feels the same? https://media.mstdn.social/media_attachments/files/111/533/533/411/200/844/original/49bb3ee980f1e95c.png npub1wqh0gsvutr2tzghwhxxca76ggxapzq7yarl72wrw0vsfgdwcgcfqekvtmz The Tired Horizon @npub1cus…6789 there is usually aluminium in the inner bag, so it arcs and causes a plasma. npub1wqh0gsvutr2tzghwhxxca76ggxapzq7yarl72wrw0vsfgdwcgcfqekvtmz The Tired Horizon This #BandcampFriday I'm tempted to make all my stuff free download for the 24 hours in the hopes *someone* might discover my music and enjoy it. It also means if #BandCamp does go to shit that some people might have a copy out there in the ether.
