Can you get your room changed? It's an off-peak Thursday, unlikely to be booked up?

Always did.

I know through VSTs. Damn right I was always going to download the Kontakt pack "The Horns Of Death."

If he has left that cat without litter for nearly a day and comes back empty handed, I am not only going to be cross, but also up one (1) cat.

Horn made from a human femur used in the Buddhist ritual of Chöd.

Well, it could be a very dry summer, so there's hope.

Even Pantera did something cool for that soundtrack.

When he wakes up, I will make noises about "Cat Lost" and "Cat Found" ads and chips to see if she has family already. I can feel the hot, occasionally rank breath of the Cat Distribution System on the back of my neck once again. Chat, how do you know when you've been allocated a familiar?

I explain to TN that she will need a littler tray and litter most urgently and I have none (I await an update on this when he wakes in a couple of hours). Pets are expensive, yadda yadda. He listens to maybe three words and keeps cooing. I go to bed.

It eats a saucer of tuna, which TN takes as evidence that's it's starving and I take as evidence that it's a cat (I would also have accepted eating two bites of tuna, decoratively scattering the rest outside the plate in a fishy blast radius and then vomiting).

"I've got a cat!" he announces proudly.
It transpires that the cat appeared out of the pissing rain outside our building as he got out of a taxi. (yes, raining cats, dogs unconfirmed so far). It has no collar or other ID (if you can read chips with your phone or something now, please tell me).

Big influence on John Petrucci of Dream Theater. Take that as you will. :)

Are you sure you mean Steve Morse? Dixie Dregs, prog shredder, plays a very non-traditional MusicMan?
I had the dude down as a Surrey blues mafia fan, Clapton and Beck more than Page or Summers.

No, just another one wandering to dispense opinions, then getting offended when people didn't fall in line.

Wait, wait, I know this one. Is it because you committed the masters to one of the formats the music industry was definitely never gonna leave? (Looking at you, ADAT, exabyte tape, CD-R and more)

Didn't answer me about his guitars either, so I guess I can still spot a blues lawyer a mile off too.

The sheer intellectual arrogance required to just wander into people's mentions, dismiss them and then act offended when people think you're a prick is fucking breathtaking.

The "predisposition to hate" quote in my bio is from the leader of Bucks Green Councillors, who's also a renewable energy consultant. Never mind that I'm a data scientist with a decade in utilities and Goose is a pretty serious theorist.

Pete, are you familiar with the goose meme? It seems rather relevant. Moreover, what do you expect from people when literally every other avenue of discussion has been tried, for decades, and the response has been "nope, we're gonna ignore you and do all the things you asked us not to"?
comment in response to

Maybe it's neither of those things, and hostility is a sane reaction to unconscionable shit?

Yes, same, but it was not a universal thing. And some engineers really are just twats - I've been at plenty of shows as a punter since working as an engineer and watched things from the outside and just winced.

You should have seen me the first time someone presented me with a cajon.

That engineer has not done enough gigs and does not yet appreciate the lengths you people will go to in order to annoy us at work. Bet he didn't even know how to mic an accordion or some glass bottles partly full of water.

Exactly the same. There is value to internalising a part properly and then getting the right take.

Lol. Me and my legendary work rate and all. You could get sick and get better twice, come back and still find me going "um."

Redmond are already well aware as the issue is longstanding and have already issued awkward public statements this week, as was widely reported.
I'm guessing nice Fenders and Gibsons, possibly CS or Murphy Labs, nothing pointy or modern, probably a Taylor or Martin acoustic.
comment in response to

Quite. I've often observed consultants to have both an unusual degree of confidence in their own positions and a strong ability to ignore cognitive dissonance, even after others have pointed it out. There's just no point. I think I could even guess the sorts of guitars he's into.

Ed Davey already has that market covered?

That'll be fine. The compressor is there to ensure that as you lean away and the input gain drops, the output gain stays consistent and those nice timbral changes from mic technique come through. It's not a brick wall, there's still dynamic range, it's just smoothed.

Simon, you're a professional evangelist for a company that's a corporate partner in genocide. In terms of who's doing positive things, I don't feel like you're starting from a position of strength. Was that clear, or do you need it in DAX?
