I will always prefer tape to digital.

With that being said, if you are working with a small budget and an engineer that knows what they are doing and what you are looking for in terms of sound, it is impossible to beat Pro Tools. We recorded and mixed an album with a ton of overdubs, double-tracked guitars and lots of improvisation in 16 hours for less than $1,000. At least four hours of that time was spent on totally improvisational noise that makes up about one tenth of the total running time of the album.

If we had a $50,000 recording budget, we’d definitely go analog but since that is never going to happen I thank God that Pro Tools exists.

Used to hate, but now love...

Seems like an odd list, also the older I generally cross things off my list without letting them back on.

Subarus and Fords.
New York City.
iproducts (not the computers, not yet anyways).
Studying.
Coffee and tea.
Sleeping in past 8 am.
Vacations.

I didn’t hate these two, but I never gave it a chance before: Mediterranean food and Indian food.

Also, Apple products

(but fuck you Apple let your goddamn OS run in a virtual environment)

Things I used to hate but now love:

The city of Chicago. My goodness is it magnificent. Except for their miserable and ill-mannered fans.
Avocados
Chris Berman. Just kidding, I still despise Chris Berman.

by abender20 on Oct 18, 2009 4:16 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Chris Berman is the biggest wanna-be in the history of the world.

uhm....

actually, I put the Raiders in things I used to hate but hate no longer.

I mean, after all, their fans (amazingly) fall a distant 2nd to Donkey fans on douchebaggery when looking at the old AFC West, and we at least can empathize with them for loving a team that continually breaks their collective hearts.

-Yeah, I can’t think of any.

I absolutely detest afternoon naps.

Always groggy afterwards, fucks up my sleeping later on.

I hate Heart of Darkness.

Worst book I’ve ever read. Hated the movie as well.

by LantermanC on Oct 18, 2009 7:55 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Just because because it's hard to grasp doesn't mean it's bad.

I had the same opinion way back in 10th grade of high school when I had to read it, but have since changed my mind.

How could the book from which Apocalypse Now is based be terrible?

by redwolf75 on Oct 18, 2009 7:58 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Enjoyed it tremendously in comparison to Gatsby...

but then, never having money, I don’t much care about the exploits of those that have it.

And on the plus side, if you are going to NOT enjoy a book, at least have it be 90 pages instead of a 750 page debacle like Moby Dick.

I read 350 pages before I even got to a damn whale…

missed that one. I guess given the review, I’m not going to be on the lookout for it.

C'mon...

that was kinda funny of me, wasn’t it?

I actually do like the transcendentalists, but not to the point of obsession or anything…

Again...

as long as their playing the Yankees, they’re preferred. But only given that construct.

The day MLB decides on an evenly distributed salary cap is the day the Yankees will no longer be shunned.

Seeing how that day will never come, fuck the yankees first and foremost.

Whoever said rooting for the yankees is like rooting for the house to win in blackjack

was correct.

I can’t bring myself to watch them play playoff baseball without thinking how much more interesting baseball would be if Arod was an M, Burnett was a Marlin, Marte was a Pirate, Sabathia was an Indian, Teixeira was a Ranger, Swisher was an A and Damon was a Royal… and I’m sure I could go deeper if I looked at their roster…

So yeah, Fuck the Yankees.

Used to hate, now like....

Brussell sprouts.

Mother in laws.
Ham. (but still only Boar’s Head)
Seeing Hassellbeck get smashed.

by Hawkmain on Oct 19, 2009 1:03 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Agreed with Ham. I don't love it, but I used to hate it,

and honey baked/glazed ham for Easter or whatever is the best.

Why Hasselbeck?

by LantermanC on Oct 19, 2009 2:44 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Just done with him. I was done with him last year.

I still hope he does well and I don’t really want to see him get smashed, I’ve just moved on. Unfortunately the team I bleed for has not done so as of yet.

Shakespeare's a good one..

A lot of people have the same experience, one doesn’t like having it rammed down one’s throat in high school. Takes a while to appreciate it.

by redwolf75 on Oct 20, 2009 10:21 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Or the right teacher in high school...

I know not every student enjoyed going over it with me, but I’d like to think most did.

NOT reading Julius Caesar as a sophomore would help. It’s not one of the more accessible ones, yet it is sadly canonized far beyond many that 14-18 year olds would both enjoy more and get more out of educationally.

Always thought the game was fun.

Oooh, texting is a good one.

Despised texting before until I actually had people to talk to.
