That was one of the most painful things I've ever watched. I don't mind watching their skits on YouTube and whatnot, but that was one of the most painfully unfunny things I've ever had to sit through
Had a band recently recording and they sounded good, drummer was pretty tight and have only needed to play around a bit in editing to make it a bit tidier but otherwise all went well. Sent a draft over, and they've asked if we can "add in some more kick drums in the chorus drums".
Currently, the cymbal hits on every beat and the snare on every fourth. There's a kick pattern in there that is on beat, but they want me to add some more kicks inbetween so that there is a kick on each strum of the rhythm guitar section. Basically I'd be adding in kicks that weren't recorded. Now I've had a think and I can copy a few of the kick hits during other parts of the chorus, but I've not really done this before and I'm not sure how natural it's going to sound.
Has anyone done this and have you got any tips? I could re-record, but it's only during the choruses and they want to avoid that. I've talked to them, and they know the current kick pattern is good and keeps with the rhythm of the guitar, but they really want me to try and make this happen.
It seems relatively simple: just copy kick drum hits on the kick in/kick out dedicated mics, but then it won't be on any bleed from any of the other mics. I'm not really sure what the best method is. I'm already going to be augmenting the kick with a sample just to add some more power, but I don't want to sample only these kicks. Any ideas?
Got sideswiped by a garbage truck and it damaged the fender and front bumper of my beloved Mazda 3. I ended up getting both parts from wreckers, however the front bumper is from a model that does not have fog lights, see second pic as reference as that's what it looks like. I would love to restore the fog light capability, but the replacement bumper won't just accept these ones as the holes are different. Are there any aftermarket parts or options that might work? I have found grill covers on eBay that look identical to the ones I have on the replacement bumper with the last grill part open and a fog light behind it in the pics. Is this something I could accomplish? I'm pretty good at DIY car mods and repairs so hopefully looking for options that don't require either a new bumper or some heavy modifications. The cables for the lights are still there for reference. Thanks for any help you may be able to offer.
My last month roster was one week nights, one week PMs, then another week of nights, then the next week first two shifts PM second two shifts nights.
This week, I have one PM shift then one 10 hour night shift and 2 12 hour night shifts. I then have a week and a half of PM shifts and then I have FOUR AND A HALF WEEKS STRAIGHT OF NOTHING BUT NIGHT SHIFT! Then the week after that one, I'm back on AMs, but not before sneaking in one last fucking goddamn night shift at the end of that week.
This is ridiculous. I have no social life as it is in this goddamn job and I thought last month and a half was just a bit of a shit rostering and I sucked it up, but four fucking weeks of nights in a row? I understand sharing the load of rotating rosters and yes we all have to do night shifts in a rotating roster, but why do I have to do FOUR AND A HALF WEEKS IN A ROW on night shift? That's not sharing the load!
I will be talking to my NUM about this tomorrow, however I have my concerns as to whether anything can be done. But seriously, why is this happening? I never signed up to do all nights, nor have I been asked or contemplated doing extra night shifts. I hate night shifts, they have completely and utterly wrecked my body and my sleep schedule is completely wrecked. I have absolutely no routine and they affect me in so many ways, but I don't complain I just suck it up. But I'm at my wit's end here. This is just too many.
