  1. Does @KeysPhoneWallet ever post anymore? I’ve said that bastards username to myself daily for the better part of 20 years now

    I’m looking forward to seeing what I can even do. Quite literally “finding my voice”. Figured I’d probably need to find a coach at some point to guide me in the right direction. I was always able to tune timpani better than most and think I’m pretty sensitive to pitch, so I think I can hit notes accurately within my range, but I don’t know how to sing properly.

    Vdrums aren’t too loud and I’m guessing bass and guitar don’t need to be loud for recording, so I don’t need too much I think

    I’ve got this front upstairs corner bedroom (11x15’) to build into. Guessing I’m going to want to put some acoustic panels up to help block sound into and out of the rest of the house. What have you done JJ?

    Recently turned 50 and saw our youngest graduate, soon to leave us empty nesters. Buying a new home with ample space in what will be my home office to also pursue creating my own music. My goal is to be regularly writing and producing songs, end to end, by the end of 2026. Purely for me. Likely no one else will ever hear it and I'm completely fine with that. I just want to commit myself to this as an artistic pursuit. A drummer since elementary school, I'm adequate with all things percussion. I have a nice Roland VDrum kit but it's collected a fair bit of dust the last few years. I took piano lessons a few years during school, too, but mostly used that to improve my xylophone/marimba comfort. I have a few years of high school music theory under my belt, and a nice guitar and bass but have never really invested the time into developing those skills. We'll move into our home at the end of the month. February will mostly be about getting everything set up. I'll likely have lots of questions for everyone then about the hardware I'll need for getting my kit integrated into my macbook via midi, an audio interface and a mic. I'll also probably invest in Musora for drumeo, guitar, bass and singing lessons. They've got a deal now that includes a piano. I'l either do that or Ill need to buy one of those, too. Looking forward to hearing what stage everyone else is at in their journey!

  15. Hell yeah. Let me start the threads and I’ll prompt you because I have a shit ton of questions
  16. @jimmyjazz suggested the specific threads. I’m inclined to agree if we’re really going to get into it (which is my hope)
  17. I’m going to be deep in all of them but Distribution
  18. I switched over to Chrome (iPhone) and they’re working fwiw ETA: now it’s working in Safari. Stale on local CDN perhaps

    It’s often referred to as baby diaper smell. Def need to do peak to peak feedings
  20. I’m even getting it on that exact post! Locally uploaded
  21. Lurch replied to Lurch's topic in Food and Travel
    Either way is fine re hooch imo. You’re just going to add water and flour regardless so the consistency will normalize
  22. Thoughts? Music Makers : The Journey Music Makers : Home Studios Music Makers : Developing Playing & Singing Skills Music Makers : Theory & Songwriting Music Makers : Recording, Mixing & Production Music Makers : Distribution

    Yeah the nerdiness is what I enjoyed the most! The above is the peak to peak method fwiw. Helps to understand the biology/chemistry that is happening and why the math works

    That looks like WAY too much starter. You probably want about 30g of that and it looks like maybe 500+! Give it a good stir and then discard all but 30g. You are likely at the stage where your starter is close but the acidity is too high. A real good way of tackling this is starting right now as we go into the weekend because it will take bit of time over 48 hours. You have 30 grams of active material. You want to give it 60g of inactive material (good flour and water). Add 30g of water (tap is fine, but i like distilled.. dont worry about all that chlorine noise from random internet posters) to your 30g of starter and stir it well. The starter is now diluted. Add 30g of good flour (bread flower ideally) and stir it for a bit (maybe 15-30 seconds) until its pancake batter. You now have 90g of material. Cover it and let it set somewhere where the temp is between 75-80*. In 4ish hours it will have doubled in size. Immediately repeat the process, throwing away all but 30 grams of this new starter (yes, 60g going in the trash) and adding/stiring in new water and good flour. You want to do this every 4 hours over the next two days. Obviously overnight you don't want to wake up in 4 hours, so just double the inactive materials, so 30g of starter plus 60g of water and 60g of flour. This 150g of material will take 8 hours rather than 4 hours to reach that doubling state. (if you're curious, the ratio to time is generally 1:1:1 4hrs, 1:2:2 8hrs, 1:3:3 12hrs, etc. as long as you're in the temp sweet spot bolded above). When you wake up in the morning you can pare it down to 30g/30g/30g again. If you can get 5 or 6 of these refreshes in over the course of a weekend your starter will be in fantastic shape with a greatly reduced acidity. You'll be able to tell because it will start to blow past the doubleing in size in even less time. Mine will often go 2.5 to 3x over 3-4 hours when its in great shape. It is this reaction that you're looking for because it means when you're actually mixing it into your bread recipe its going to give you that rise you want. THEN you're ready to use it for bread and then set it in the refrigerator covered as mentioned above for weekly feedings (or even less)
