[00:00:08]Okay, that's it.

[00:00:13]Blatant fair use and absolute like peak fair use. I'm literally commentating over it and giving an example of something and talking about it. That's fair use, guys.

[00:00:27]I don't give a [ __ ] what anyone says.

[00:00:29]That's fair use.

[00:00:40]Wait, no, it says YouTube's back. Hold on. It could It could It could honestly just be the fact that Hold on.

[00:00:59]It says that I'm live. Wait, no, it says YouTube's back. Hold on. It could It could have It Yeah, we're back on YouTube. Okay, so it Okay, never mind.

[00:01:14]It's Rumble Studio.

[00:01:20]It's Rumble Studio.

[00:01:26]All right, whatever. Let's just Dude, I don't know how it could be internet. I am hardwired into my fiber modem. I literally have 900 megabit per second up speed and I'm streaming at 7 megabit per second up. So, there is no [ __ ] way. It's my internet.

[00:01:48]Yeah, I have I have 100% stream healthy.

[00:01:50]I have no dropped frames. I have nothing in OBS.

[00:01:55]CPU usage is only 4%.

[00:01:59]Right now look, dropped frames zero. Streaming up at 5,000, 4,000, 7,000.

[00:02:13]That's kbps. So that's megabit per second. So 2,000's 2 megabit per second.

[00:02:16]5,000 is 5 megabit per second. And I have right now.

[00:02:26]So let's see.

[00:02:35]Yeah, I have 900 37 download speed and up speed is 936.

[00:02:49]up up speed. So yeah, no [ __ ] way.

[00:02:55]No [ __ ] way. Is is it my internet? It it's it's Rumble Studio.

[00:03:04]All right, whatever. Now that we found now Now that we uh Mystery solved, gang, here's some Scooby snacks for everybody.

[00:03:14]Whatever. Stay on Rumble. Give me some Give me some love on Rumble, guys. Just watch on Rumble.

[00:03:20]because at least Rumble's not not [ __ ] up tonight.

[00:03:24]Okay, man. This is ADHD the stream tonight, guys. We We are all over the place.

[00:03:39]Okay, so I did some uh tweaks to the mix the last time we were here and uh I was happy with it last time, but then I started listening to it over and over again in my car, you know, and the the repeatability of it, something was still a couple tiny little things were sticking out to me.

[00:04:06]Uh, for one, the guitars were sounding just a tad tiny bit too harsh in my ear, and the more I blasted it, the more it hurt my ears. Uh, the kick drum could have come up just a tiny bit, and there could have been a tiny bit more sub in the bass. But I think we're here now.

[00:04:23]We're gonna play this a little bit and um we're gonna we're gonna we're gonna do some final like checks right now with everything. Um I'm going to turn off all my mix bus processing except my SSL. So, I'm just going to listen to this. We're going to play it one by one.

[00:04:44]Uh do you want to get your headphones or not? No, I don't need them.

[00:05:03]Stop using that quy means I can't even think of this madness.

[00:05:21]desperation.

[00:05:24]Yes, I am stuck using habits that I can't quit.

[00:05:43]Really getting sick of a mess it is. Can I even remedder?

[00:06:02]Yes, I am.

[00:06:09]Right there. Right there at the very end. The the limiter. I'm pushing the limiter too hard.

[00:06:16]As much as I want like loud as [ __ ] possible, I don't want it to sound like I'm squashing it.

[00:06:23]Ease up on the limiter a little bit.

[00:06:26]Where was I?

[00:06:33]Yeah. Yeah. Hovering around uh minus 10 lufts. That's I mean most commercial hard rock masters are now at like - 9 - 8. So, this isn't going to be as loud as that, but Spotify, where most people listen to music anyway, normalizes it to minus14.

[00:06:52]So, I'd rather like have a quieter quieter um I'd rather have a quieter in air quotations here, master um but not sound like I'm squashing it.

[00:07:08]So, I'm going to bring this down to minus 12.

[00:07:26]Stop using I can't quit really getting sick of the messages.

[00:07:32]God remedies desperation.

[00:08:03]Dark I can't quit really getting sick how the mess it is again desperation I Yeah.

[00:08:38]Madness desperation.

[00:09:01]Yeah, I I'm I'm happy with that. Now it's a little more dynamic. It doesn't sound like I'm squashing the [ __ ] out of it.

[00:09:10]And I I'd rather have dynamics than loudness. So, we're gonna finalize this right now. And this will be what I send the band.

[00:09:24]So let's bounce it. We're gonna listen in real time.

[00:09:34]So mess I am final master.

[00:09:40]And um here we go.

[00:09:58]Stop using quesity means I can't even go madness.

[00:10:17]desperation.

[00:10:20]Yes, I am.

[00:10:37]God [ __ ] damn it.

[00:10:40]See, I listen I put it on low and suddenly the snare drum is A little too uppidity.

[00:10:55]All right. So, I'm going to listen to this at like you know what? We're going to listen to it at very very low volume together because I don't trust you guys to lower your volumes for you. So, I'm going to do it for you.

[00:11:15]Yeah.

[00:11:23]>> God damn it. Hold on. My cat's destroying something in the in the [ __ ] bathroom. Hold on. Elvis is being [ __ ] Elvis. Hold on. I'll be right back. Hold on. Hold on.

[00:12:21]Okay, Elvis decided it would be a good idea.

[00:12:29]Um, he didn't like where where my electric razor was sitting in the bathroom, so he decided to rearrange it.

[00:12:38]That was him subtly telling me that um he wanted me to buy a new electric razor because he knocked it in the garbage and then proceeded to jump onto the garbage pail and tip the whole thing over.

[00:12:55]Yeah. And now he's like sitting in my bedroom door sitting on on the floor looking at me like, "Yeah, [ __ ] I did that."

[00:13:04]Where are you now?

[00:13:07]Little [ __ ] prick.

[00:13:14]What song or band is that? Oh, good Lord Almighty.

[00:13:21]Good Lord Almighty.

[00:13:24]The name of the [ __ ] stream says featuring the Smugs band featured linked in the description.

[00:13:39]Mixing a new studio recording from the garage from the grunge band The Smugs.

[00:13:51]People can't read them.

[00:13:55]Just Why can't people read?

[00:14:03]You know what? No, I'm sorry.

[00:14:07]Darth Ham is back.

[00:14:10]You ask I hate saying the phrase, but you ask stupid questions. Darth Ham comes in.

[00:14:18]Now, now you're turn like the dark side is present in me now. You could tell from the cheap ass red RGB light that it's I in the thumbnail, too.

[00:14:43]The thumbnail text says finalizing a single featuring the smugs.

[00:14:52]God [ __ ] damn it.

[00:14:56]Darth Ham is getting very angry.

[00:15:01]All right. Cheap RGB light. Go back to white. Okay. I'm kidding. Don't take what I'm saying seriously. I'm not [ __ ] on you. I'm just playing with you because you don't have eyes. Um, there's a literal Instagram link.

[00:15:21]I'm I'm I'm [ __ ] with you because people apparently like when I jokingly freak out at them about not being able to click the description or read the title, they freak out and go like, "Why are you going to be so angry? Do you have a problem? You You're clearly angry. No, I'm [ __ ] with you.

[00:15:47]Can that light do a full RGB? Time to have a whole dance party. Oh, hold on.

[00:15:51]Let's see.

[00:15:56]Oh, it can.

[00:16:00]Oh, this is going to be very Tell me this isn't distracting at all.

[00:16:09]get like dance music going on.

[00:16:15]This is going to be me dancing on the cabana on the cruise ship with Jamaican Steel drum music playing in the background, right? That this is going to be me, MCH, and Royce and uh their significant others.

[00:16:35]This is going to be us on the cruise, right?

[00:16:43]This is going to be us sipping margaritas. Not from Raising Canes.

[00:17:02]All right. I know that's probably really annoying.

[00:17:12]I'll get I'll get copyright strike by steel drum music next.

[00:17:20]Time for an 80s uh dance party. You work with punk bands? Yeah, that's literally my Western Lantern. But like I know you're new. I have never seen you before and you just clicked it quickly. I I know.

[00:17:37]I'm [ __ ] with you. I'm kidding.

[00:17:45]Um, time for an 80s dance party. Oh.

[00:17:51]Uh, and singing take on me and not hitting a note. Yeah, I'm Dude, I can almost hit every note except that final in a day or I can't I can't hit the final two. I I I just I physically cannot do that.

[00:18:05]Time for an 80s dance party or I'll get up and depress everyone up with um with Depes Mode. Imagine me getting up and do like No, you know what song I I I need to do?

[00:18:18]The song I could actually do really well, but it like it it destroys the [ __ ] vibe everywhere every time I do it. Um um this one I could do this really well.

[00:18:46]Everyone's vibing, chilling, sipping margaritas, having a good time. Then I get up and I sing this.

[00:19:00]>> Yeah. Nothing brings the excitement of a cruise together than someone singing about suicide and depression.

[00:19:09]races goinghere goinghere.

[00:19:18]>> Imagine seriously like someone gets up and sings like Mariah Carey. Someone gets up and like I know Royce is probably going to do uh CEO Green, but imagine like Royce gets up, he does crowd work, everyone's vibing, having a good time. Sudden and I get up and I'm like Yeah, imagine I get up and do that. No way.

[00:19:53]Suddenly the RGB lights around in the in the bar are just going to go like somber and go like, "Oh, someone watch this guy." I mean, the the ship's kind of cheap. He probably can jump over the railing and in into the ocean if he wanted to because the ship we're going on is let's just say it's not Royal Caribbean.

[00:20:11]What did I just say? Royal Caribbean. I can't talk. Royal Caribbean.

[00:20:19]Yeah. Um so I I got my karaoke stuff down pat. Um what the hell were we doing? Oh yeah, we were [ __ ] mixing and chilling. That's what we're doing. We're all over the place tonight, guys. I don't care. I'm having fun. I was actually like very tired. I'm I'm legit very tired right now. So, the fact that this is waking me up is and giving me a second wind. I'm very happy. And we might actually like go until 10 where I can raid merch and like do a proper lead in. So, this is great. All right. What were we doing?

[00:20:51]Oh, yeah. Listening for the the snare drum.

[00:21:08]Stop desperation.

[00:21:30]Yes, I am.

[00:21:46]Is it I can't quit really getting sick of the mess it is. Can I ever desperation kill?

[00:22:17]Yeah, that that's uh that's that's that's better.

[00:22:22]All right, now this is done.

[00:22:27]Now we Now Oh, because the snare drum was brought down a little bit. Let's see. Can I make this a little bit louder without distorting?

[00:22:49]Stop using I can't quit really getting sick of the message again desperation.

[00:23:11]Yes, I am.

[00:23:20]There we go. Lowering the snare just by like what it was that 7 dB. It's almost at minus 10 dB now. Lowering it by 3dB, I can increase the f uh the master a little bit more and I'm having like around minus 10 and a half l. So now I get the loudness and I get the dynamics.

[00:23:39]So we're good. All right. Now for real, I My cat just knocked over other [ __ ] in the bathroom again. He's out for my electric razor.

[00:23:48]So now we're going to render this in real time.

[00:23:53]And I'm going to now figure out what the [ __ ] my cat destroyed while this renders out.

[00:24:00]So enjoy.

[00:24:17]Stop using quesity Can't even go madness desperation that I can't quit.

[00:24:57]really getting sick of the messages.

[00:24:59]Yes.

[00:25:03]Heat. Heat.

[00:25:16]Messiah got madness.

[00:25:44]desperation.

[00:25:47]Messiah.

[00:26:06]Okay, got that. So, now let's open up Audition.

[00:26:41]Oh, what the [ __ ] is that?

[00:26:44]What is that? I thought that was just a glitch in Logic. Nope.

[00:26:56]Oh, what the the [ __ ] is that? What is that that I'm hearing? What is that little crack?

[00:27:24]What is that crack? That wasn't ever there before.

[00:27:30]Let's see. Is it the Is it the kick drum?

[00:27:42]Yeah, that's a kick drum. It's this hit.

[00:27:48]All right. Last minute [ __ ] surgery.

[00:27:52]Jesus Christ.

[00:27:56]Since this hits good, what we're gonna do is uh See if that worked.

[00:28:35]There it is. Okay, that's it. That fixed it, dude. Imagine if I like if I didn't notice that and sent it to the band and they [ __ ] released it and then that's all I heard.

[00:28:50]That is literally all I would hear is that [ __ ] hit on that kick drum. All right, so thankfully Logic has the ability to render everything offline, which means it'll render as fast as my computer can.

[00:29:07]So that's what I'm going to do. Let me save over it. Replace.

[00:29:17]I just wanted to render in a real time so you guys can just enjoy it.

[00:29:24]Uh, Ghost in the Mix, did you did you see iZotope release RX12 for $14.99? And the new feature is that it can make the music softer when people are talking. I have no desire to spend $1,500 on software.

[00:29:39]And it's not because I'm not interested in RX12. I'm not interested in any other thing that iZotope releases. It's just um I decided to be an idiot and buy a German car a couple of years ago and I'm just shy of 70,000 miles and everything starting to break on it and everything that breaks costs literally an arm and a leg. I have to sell myself to uh desperate fat soccer moms like Chef in South Park.

[00:30:12]Uh I have to sell my body. I'm thinking of making an Only Fans.

[00:30:17]If you like depressing fat guys and like with no attractive features whatsoever, I'll I'll make an Only Fans. There's a market for that.

[00:30:29]I'm also I like my body heat is that of a furnace. So like all of you women that are like lizards or part lizard that need like a warm cuddle partner, cuddles for hire. That's my new side hustle. I gotta sell myself for cuddles in order to pay for my Golf GTI to get fixed all the time.

[00:30:50]Starving autist only hams. There you go.

[00:30:52]Thank you. Only ham starving autist like two two bangers tonight. Boo balls and and only hams.

[00:31:04]Only hams. That's it.

[00:31:06][ __ ] a. That's that that's good. All right. I'll give you a cut of what of of the pennies I'll make.

[00:31:19]What is that?

[00:31:28]Uh, hold on. What's I'm trying to think of.

[00:31:39]Uh, that's it. That that that's the same. It's it's it's orgasmo.

[00:31:51]It's this. It's it's it's it's that scene in Orgasmo.

[00:32:00]>> All right, fellas. I'm ready to fudge.

[00:32:03]>> I'm ready to fudge.

[00:32:04]>> You want me on top?

[00:32:05]>> No. No. Uh I I'll be on top. This is me entering my my my first cuddle session.

[00:32:12]>> All right, fellas. I'm ready to fudge.

[00:32:14]>> Oh my gosh.

[00:32:15]>> You want me on top?

[00:32:17]>> No. No. Uh I I'll be on top.

[00:32:22]>> Oh [ __ ] This is This is me coming into my first uh Only Hams uh uh appointment.

[00:32:29]Ladies getting ready to uh snuggle up next to um the Hammeister here.

[00:32:36]All right, fellas. I'm ready to fudge.

[00:32:39]All right, ladies. I'm ready to [ __ ] That's going to be me. Only hams.

[00:32:54]All right, ladies. I'm ready to [ __ ] That's how I'm going to enter all my snuggle sessions.

[00:33:08]looks just like you. Also, all you need is a Batman costume. Oh, wait. Trey Parker or or the or or or the the the large lady.

[00:33:24]No, I was saying that I'm the the the large person walking into the room. Hi, ladies. I'm ready to [ __ ] that. That's me coming in. Not Orgasmo, not Trey Parker, not Trey Parker.

[00:33:40]Um, I mean, it the ladies that would hire me, I could be both. It depending on the situation, the situational context.

[00:33:52]Okay. Did this render? God, we are all over the [ __ ] place tonight. And you know what? I love it.

[00:33:58]I like when I go out of formality and I I do [ __ ] that I normally just don't do or like let loose a little bit.

[00:34:10]All right.

[00:34:19]There we go. That's good. That's good now.

[00:34:27]Okay.

[00:34:29]Edit.

[00:34:31]Insert silence.

[00:34:33]Insert a good 10 seconds. Now bring it up here.

[00:34:53]And now, because I am, this is my autism right here, I'm going to end it at exactly two minutes.

[00:35:02]And there we go. Now that now that we have the mix, that's what's going to be sent to the band.

[00:35:10]We're good there.

[00:35:15]Here I am trying not to call you fat, dude. Like, thank you, Ghost in the Mix.

[00:35:18]I appreciate it, buddy. But I'm used to it. My friends call me fat.

[00:35:24]If you heard half the [ __ ] that Royce and Merch say to me all the time, Jesus Christ. Like, like you, you would think that I'm on suicide watch. Or am I? Um, I'm not. But like, I've heard worse [ __ ] from my actual friends than any rando on the internet.

[00:35:44]So, I don't call myself that. I don't give a [ __ ] Okay. So, now that we saved everything, mix is saved. What we're going to do is here's all of our audio in the project.

[00:36:00]We're deleting it.

[00:36:02]And what we're going to do is we're going to save this as a template.

[00:36:07]Project template. Smugs 2026 mix template.

[00:36:18]Okay.

[00:36:20]So, now what we're going to do is I'm going to keep OBS open right here because every time I close a project in Logic, it [ __ ] up my audio.

[00:36:30]Check. Check. I'm still there. Good.

[00:36:34]Okay. What we're now going to do is we're going to open up a new project from template.

[00:36:52]Project templates. My templates. There it is.

[00:36:58]Smugs 2026 mix template. There it is.

[00:37:03]So now what it's doing is All right. I'm still talking to you guys. Good. What it did was it opened up a new project with all the levels, all the plugins, and everything set to go.

[00:37:38]Western Lantern reminds me of the Smashing Pumpkins remaster original.

[00:37:43]was kind of bad quality and the remaster were a fix. I usually do not like I usually don't like remasters, but some of them are are good. Like I grew up listening to um I grew up listening to the Offspring and Green Day. So, the original mixes of of the Smash album were good, but Spotify has the remasters up now. So, and I and I I like the sound of the remaster that they put up.

[00:38:24]It honestly just depends.

[00:38:26]I do not subscribe to the louder is better mentality, but the remasters kind of sort of improve on the original lacklusterness of the original mixes.

[00:38:38]Like, and punk rock is not supposed to be loud and full. Punk rock is supposed to be raw and in your face, but it's not supposed to be like a polished full mix.

[00:38:48]You were talking about Take on Me when I finished my mix of the original Take on Me multittracks. Just don't ask where I got them.

[00:38:55]How the [ __ ] did you get the the original stems of that? There's a there's a channel out there. I forget the name of it. Hold on now. Like we're going to dive into the autism right here because th this guy this guy does analog mixes.

[00:39:20]I think this is a guy mixing on an SSL analog console. Yeah, Dan Daniel Duskin.

[00:39:30]This guy, look, he's obviously an analog fan and he has a bunch of analog gear in his studio, but like the way that he literally like goes and explores [ __ ] and he like he immediately knows exactly what it needs. He knows exactly where to bring it in studio.

[00:40:02]I mean, I still prefer the original over his mix, but like, >> but like like the the the backing vocals are a little more present in his mix.

[00:40:16]And I love what he did with it.

[00:40:25]and he just like in a matter of minutes gets a mix going on his desk. Like this dude knows every in-n-out about his system. He knows exactly where everything is. And the the dude's awesome.

[00:40:41]Again, like I I I like to think that I'm kind of sort of the same thing with my with my digital equivalent, mostly because I don't have like six figures worth of funding to buy all the analog stuff. But the dude clearly knows what the [ __ ] he's doing.

[00:40:57]You wouldn't believe all the big son multitracks I have had that I that I have collected. Um I would love to figure out where to get the big multittrack stems from of the original mixes. Like nothing would make me happier than to just [ __ ] with it. You know, I'm I'm apparently not in the know as far as like where mixers and independent mixers get stems from.

[00:41:22]Clearly, it's a like who do you know?

[00:41:24]Because if I if I try to Google right now, take on me raw stems.

[00:41:30]Guarantee I'm probably not gonna find them. Or if I do, it won't be from a non-sketchy website.

[00:41:39]And I definitely And I definitely don't want to download any sketchy stuff from like a torrent site. Although I have downloaded torrent in the past. Who hasn't? Um, I wouldn't want to download any strange torrents these days.

[00:41:58]Explain to me what stems are.

[00:42:01]Um, stems, for lack of a better term, are like the raw track. So, like the kick drum, snare, high hat, rack one, rack two, floor tom, bass, guitar one, guitar two, blah blah blah. The stems are the individual multittracks. So when I say the multittrack stems, that's all the raw tracks in the session.

[00:42:25]That's what those are.

[00:42:27]Okay.

[00:42:35]So, here's what we're doing.

[00:42:37]We're going to be importing more stems from the second song on this single, the Bside.

[00:42:53]And I believe I downloaded it. Yes.

[00:42:56]Masquerade.

[00:43:00]Now I just need to figure out which one goes where.

[00:43:07]Oh, you know what? What would be a better way to organize this?

[00:43:14]Elvis, I swear to God, now he Now he's hunting for [ __ ] to knock over on my desk behind behind the camera.

[00:43:21]Little [ __ ] [ __ ] tonight.

[00:43:34]All right. The way that Connor labeled these is not ideal.

[00:43:42]So, this is how it was sent to me.

[00:43:47]High hat, kick drum.

[00:43:50]Going forward, I'll I'll show you guys what to do. So, this is fine. I'm just going to have to go through this and figure out which one was which.

[00:44:03]So, the way to do this going forward for anyone who wants to send stems to anybody, label it clean like kick, snare, whatever.

[00:44:17]Every doll can do this. Here's how you do it in Logic. You select the tracks, command D, and you always want to include track number.

[00:44:28]So it's 01 kick, 02 snare, 03 high hat.

[00:44:35]So track number is beyond important. And that should be the first thing in the in the pattern. So that way when I get stems from people, I I see 01. Oh, that must be the kick drum or track one. And this is across the board with with the EP.

[00:44:56]But Connor's okay because this is a pretty simple straightforward mix.

[00:45:00]There's only 23 tracks and I'm not even going to use all 23 of them.

[00:45:05]So lore maybe I am. I don't I don't see any of the I don't see any like main drum bus.

[00:45:14]We're not going to use the main drum bus. We're not using that.

[00:45:22]Left, right, snare bottom, snare top.

[00:45:24]Okay.

[00:45:27]All right. So, this is pretty straightforward. So, here's what we're going to do.

[00:45:31]We're going to do kick.

[00:45:36]Where's a snare drum?

[00:45:38]And see, this is just this is this is a lesson to all of you guys, but this is also like time wasting.

[00:45:47]Snare top, snare bottom.

[00:45:54]Uh, did he have a high hat? Yes, he does. Okay.

[00:45:58]See, there wasn't. I don't think there was a high hat in the other one. Was there a high hat in the other one?

[00:46:03]Because I don't remember seeing one.

[00:46:05]Either that or I didn't use it cuz the overhead took care of it for me.

[00:46:18]Yeah, there's no high hat.

[00:46:23]So, you know what? To keep with continuity, I'm going to keep it, but I'm probably not going to use it.

[00:46:31]High hat. So, now what I should find are racktoms.

[00:46:39]Rack floor.

[00:46:47]Now I should put the ride overhead left. Overhead right now is let's get room room right left bottom. What? What the [ __ ] What the [ __ ] is this? Left bottom room mic. Left bottom. What the [ __ ] All right, this one sounds a little more punchy. So, I'm going to go with that one or for our notes.

[00:48:16]All right. So, that's room And you sent me stereo tracks.

[00:48:42]Or is that Logic assuming that they're stereo? I don't know. Whatever.

[00:48:47]Render everything down to mono anyway.

[00:48:49]All right. Where is the bass?

[00:48:53]Kyle Bass Beta 52.

[00:49:11]Okay, so we have a different base setup here. So this is going to be interesting.

[00:49:19]Wait, did they bass Beta 52 bass? Okay, so they did give me two bass tracks, right?

[00:49:33]Okay, so I only used one of the bass tracks.

[00:49:45]base di beta.

[00:49:54]Okay, now I got to find the main rhythm.

[00:49:58]Here we go.

[00:50:02]Is this the Fender?

[00:50:12]Okay. GTR rhythm L rhythm R.

[00:50:59]Heat up here.

[00:51:08]on your grave.

[00:51:21]All right, good. They have separate chorus and verse vocals. Okay, good.

[00:51:28]Okay, GTR solo.

[00:51:39]Vox verse Vox verse double vox chorus vox chorus double okay that's how you [ __ ] label tracks everyone going forward all All right. So now what we're going to do is we're going to hit export and we're going to export these stems.

[00:52:11]Let's make sure that the whole project is selected. Yes, it is.

[00:52:18]Now we're going to go to mixes.

[00:52:22]Where am I saving these? Smugs masquerade.

[00:52:29]New stems.

[00:52:33]Wave 24bit.

[00:52:35]Okay.

[00:52:37]Export.

[00:52:44]So now we can now close out of this.

[00:52:58]Now that we close out of that, let me actually now reopen Messiaam because I don't know what I don't remember what I used for the base. Did I use the DI or did I use the the beta 52?

[00:53:14]Now I need to now I need to remind myself what I did because I didn't re label the stems. Okay.

[00:53:22]Uh where's the bass track base 52. Okay.

[00:53:26]So, I used the the Beta 52 and that's it. I didn't use the um I didn't use the um the AMPDI. Okay, so here's what we do now that we're actually finally able to [ __ ] do this masquerade new stems. Look how everything is nicely organized.

[00:53:55]01 kick, 02 snare top. Look how everything is nicely labeled and organized.

[00:54:04]I'm not [ __ ] on you, Connor, but this at least you labeled it. Room, mic, left, bottom, whatever. But you just saw what I had to do in order to organize it going forward.

[00:54:19]Every band needs to label their tracks exactly like this so that when it comes time for me, the mix engineer, when I have my template all set, ready to go, all I got to do is bring the drums in. There's my kick drum. All set, routed, mixed, ready.

[00:54:43]Snare top, snare bottom.

[00:54:49]And it's already bust out to my snare, my snare verb. And because if I play it, there we go. Now it's all set.

[00:55:06]I may have to adjust the noise gate because it looks like there's a fuckload more high hat bleed in this snare mic versus the other one.

[00:55:15]But you get what I'm saying.

[00:55:18]90% of the work is already done. Rack floor already bust out to my toms.

[00:55:28]I'm going to hear what it sounds like without the high hat track.

[00:55:32]If I need it, I will use it, but I'd rather not use it with continuity if the overheads can't pick it up.

[00:55:45]room.

[00:55:48]Now, let's go to the bass.

[00:55:53]No, that's not the one I want. I want the beta.

[00:55:56]Said no woman ever.

[00:55:58]All right.

[00:56:02]So, now the dirty guitar track I remember is on the Marshall and that's on the lead.

[00:56:19]Nope. Let's put on the Marshall.

[00:56:22]Obviously, we're going to have to finagle and move some [ __ ] around.

[00:56:26]Create tracks, re label stuff.

[00:56:35]And obviously, because these are clean guitars, I'm going to have to reue them.

[00:56:39]But the routing at least is all there.

[00:56:44]Right. That's what we want. So, actually, I don't want to do that yet.

[00:56:48]What I want is rhythm left and right.

[00:56:56]Use existing tracks. Okay.

[00:57:00]Let's also now delete all automation on the lead.

[00:57:08]Edit.

[00:57:10]Delete all automation. I forgot what the quick key command is.

[00:57:19]Delete all automation. What menu is it under? Okay. Mix. There it is.

[00:57:25]Delete automation. All track automation.

[00:57:29]Here we go.

[00:57:38]All right.

[00:57:44]Let's create. Let's duplicate this track so we can at least figure out where everything's going to go.

[00:57:51]There's the clean.

[00:57:57]Let's put the guitar solo on the guitar lead track.

[00:58:05]Right there it is.

[00:58:09]Now we need a guitar dirty track.

[00:58:17]Okay, the Marshall was this one. Rhythm R. So let's create this one and re label this GTR dirty.

[00:58:32]Let's actually put this clean so that I know Clean.

[00:58:53]I'll just label that clean lead. Let's bring that pan that center.

[00:59:00]I'll have to reroute the busing and and [ __ ] with that a little bit, but we're getting like 80% of the [ __ ] way, right? That's what we're doing. That's what doing this does.

[00:59:17]Okay.

[00:59:21]Guitar dirty.

[00:59:25]Let's pan that center as well.

[00:59:50]Okay, pretty much got everything there. Now vocals is going to be very very easy.

[01:00:03]Vocal verse.

[01:00:07]vocal verse double.

[01:00:12]Now, we're going to duplicate this and duplicate that because we're going to have the chorus and chorus double.

[01:00:29]So, now all of our stems are imported.

[01:00:32]Now, we're ready to save this as a project.

[01:00:36]Save this in smugs masquerade mix project.

[01:00:51]Okay, now we have a starting point. Now what I'm going to do because I know for a fact according to them they recorded the drums on different days. So, the first thing that I got to do is get the drums realigned with auto align.

[01:01:10]So, let's turn off all my mix bus processing. I don't need any of that. I don't need any of that. I don't need that. I don't need that. What I need is to solo my drums.

[01:01:21]I need to go to auto align.

[01:01:24]And now I need to realign my drums.

[01:01:28]Align.

[01:01:43]Hey, hey, hey.

[01:02:17]That should be good.

[01:02:22]There you go. Completely different alignment than the last song.

[01:02:36]There you go. Drums realigned.

[01:02:44]Okay, drums. Uh, let me get let me adjust the noise gate settings on this. I might not be able to do that because look at look at how much bleed there is on the snare top mic with the high hat. So I might not be able to do that.

[01:03:22]There you go. Actually, I was able to do that.

[01:03:30]Uh, CMO Young, definitely trying to see the show you're doing uh sound at in Flint, Michigan. Yes, we're going to the um the machine shop. I think that's the name of it. So, let let's see. Not now.

[01:03:46]Uh, well, this is awkward. Loads up with two. Well, one's Yeah.

[01:03:55]Slave Leia. All the eth thoughts are coming out with their slave Leia costume. Um, uh, 40 below.

[01:04:07]I know they posted an announcement of that.

[01:04:15]Yeah. Machine shop, Flint, Michigan.

[01:04:18]August 14th. We'll be there.

[01:04:30]So May 16th, Jewel Music Venue in Manchester, New Hampshire. That's literally like a week and a half from now. June 20th, Space Ballroom, Hampton, Connecticut.

[01:04:43]August 14th, Machine Shop Flint, Michigan. August 15th, The Forge in Juliet, Illinois. And then we are essentially opening up the Friday showing at Louder than Life on the Smaller stage uh in Louisville, Kentucky. So, I can technically now say I mixed front of house at Louder than Life and I mix at a Danny Whmer festival, which is going to be awesome.

[01:05:12]So, that's going to be sweet. I'm very very excited for for that. So, I'm looking forward to seeing you guys. If you guys want to come out to the show, if you guys want to come hang out, definitely at Louder than Life, we're gonna be there all day.

[01:05:33]uh my chief sound guy at uh Dingbat, Steve Zayn, he is pretty much headlining Thursday night with Danzig. We're gonna be in the area, so we're probably going to hang out with them, hang out with Danzig, which is going to be sweet.

[01:05:50]Um but we're opening up the show. I think we're like second band on on the smaller stage on on Friday.

[01:06:01]And um that's going to be fun. And then it's head uh it's it's headlined wait who who exactly is going to be on there on Friday because I don't know when the band wants to wants to leave. I I know if if just the feeling of the vibe from the band something tells me they're going to want to leave and start heading home like shortly after we play.

[01:06:30]So, let's see who who's actually gonna be there.

[01:06:35]So, My Chemical Romance, I'm not I'm If I never see them again, I I'll be happy.

[01:06:42]Uh, just on a personal level with them.

[01:06:45]Um, Pierce Seail, Taking Back Sunday. Take him back Sunday. I like Ken and Cambria.

[01:06:53]I like, but this is funny. headlined on the small stage that we're gonna we're gonna be at. See, like we're second on that.

[01:07:03]Jeff Hardy has a band. The wrestler Jeff Hardy has a band.

[01:07:10]That's crazy.

[01:07:12]Powerman 5000 is co-headlining the stage.

[01:07:19]Um, Drykill Logic, that's uh that's managed by my boss at Dingbats, Michelle. So, she's going to be there.

[01:07:26]She's going to hang out with us all day there. That's going to be cool.

[01:07:30]And honestly, I don't know like who who can we see before we actually have to leave.

[01:07:38]Mushroom Head, maybe Soulfly. If I never see them again for personal reasons, I'd be happy. The band's cool. It's just their stage manager is a piece of [ __ ] And um he's just a really nasty human being. Um, yeah. There's really like no one else that I would want to see.

[01:08:03]We the Kings. I would like to see Cohed and take him back Sunday. They They were good, but we're definitely not staying for Saturday. I like I if I know the band, we're going to want to leave and start heading home Friday. So, we're going to open up the show. We're going to pack up and we're probably going to be home very late Friday night.

[01:08:24]So, I I doubt we're going to be able to hang out afterward. So, you may be able to see us and hang out for like an hour or two afterward. I think we're going to pack up. We're going to get catering and then start heading home.

[01:08:41]I think that's what's going to happen.

[01:08:51]Uh, hey, I need a quick tip on gating vocal mics. Even at the fastest attack, you can hear the gate. Okay. Well, uh, what's your attack and release setting?

[01:09:02]What's the situation of your vocal mic?

[01:09:06]What's the what's the envelope of of your noise gate? What's what's the curve setting of your noise gate?

[01:09:14]You got to be specific. Is it a live setting? Don't ever put a a a noise gate on a live vocal mic unless you have clear separation between that and the other instruments because noise like the noise gate will will just go like will literally just go like like hey how that's going to be the noise gate and it's really annoying. So that's what like Chris Jericho has a band. Yeah, I I know about Fozzy.

[01:10:01]I'm a Mark. I I watch anything he does.

[01:10:05]Uh you don't like MCR? No, I don't. I don't like them on a personal level because I've met them before they became famous and they were all scumbags.

[01:10:13]Gerard especially was a scumbag.

[01:10:17]I met him several times and he was an [ __ ] all the time.

[01:10:24]Remember I I I live in good old dirty Jersey, man. And I worked at bars and restaurants in New York where they grew up and where they played before they be got before they became famous.

[01:10:36]And um the story goes I was working at a bar that they played at all the time.

[01:10:41]I'm not going to name drop, but I was working the kitchen and part of their uh deal was they would get a comped meal for the night and I was relatively new there. So, I was asking them what they wanted to order and I gave him a check and Gerard flipped the [ __ ] at me.

[01:11:02]Threw the receipt, threw the check right back in my face. [ __ ] you, you fat piece of [ __ ] You dumb [ __ ] Do you know who the [ __ ] we are? Do you know that we put asses in this place? Do you know why you're open tonight? It's because of us.

[01:11:22]He said that.

[01:11:24]And then he proceeded to use several other words to describe me. Rhymes with maggot.

[01:11:32]And if I repeat it, it would get me kicked off YouTube. But he had an apocalyptic diva rant at me.

[01:11:41]and he closed it by saying, "We're about to get signed and you'll never see us again and we hope this place goes out of business."

[01:11:53]And I walked away from that experience going, "Whatever." Typical typical egotistical uh local band. Six months later, I'm Not okay comes out. And I'm like, "Oh, I guess they did make it." So, yeah.

[01:12:11][ __ ] Gerard.

[01:12:14]The rest of the band could be super cool, but [ __ ] Gerard. I I I I I I do not I don't I like if he was having a simple bad night, I don't care.

[01:12:30]But I've heard from other people who have met him outside of autograph events, VIP events with the fans, and people who have actually worked with him that he at the drop of a dime can go from super cool to being an outright [ __ ] to deal with. So, nope. [ __ ] him. As far as I'm concerned, I I what what did that that that that classic clip with that, you know, cracked out lady. Hey, ain't nobody got time for that.

[01:13:07]Nope.

[01:13:10]But it's one of those situations where like the local band got pissed off at me and like screamed at me. It's like, "We're going to be famous and [ __ ] you and we're never going to come here again." I walked off going like, "Eh, all right, whatever. [ __ ] him." And then six months later, I'm not okay comes out and I'm like, "Oh, I guess they really did make it."

[01:13:28]Oh yeah, Darth Ham. Darth Ham. Hold on.

[01:13:31]Yeah, Darth Ham is back.

[01:13:35]This is me force choking Gerard from My Chemical Romance. Here's me force choking him. Darth Ham.

[01:13:48]Um, yeah. really the only uh I mean I admire my professionalism now like I was just I was literally just a waiter and a prep cook at at at a bar in New York and they were the local band and they they did draw. So like to their credit they deserve more than just whatever money the bar the the bar paid them and whatever free food they were getting. But like I was literally there for two weeks and they played and I tried to give him a check and he flips the [ __ ] at me. What he could have done was just simply go like, "Oh, never seen you before. You know, we play here all the time and part of our deal is we get a comped meal." To which I would have said, "Okay, my bad." And I would take the check right back, tear it up and say to my manager, "Didn't know."

[01:14:44]But no, instead he literally took the checkbook, flinged it at me, and proceeded to be a total [ __ ] [ __ ] It really is like I don't know if you guys Oh, I I I really I don't know if this is going to get me flagged or whatever for inappropriateness.

[01:15:05]Um, uh, Cena, this if anyone's ever seen the movie Waiting.

[01:15:14]>> Hey there, ladies. Amy's busy, so I thought I'd bring your food out for you.

[01:15:18]>> But I still have some salad left.

[01:15:20]>> Oh. Uh, well, would you like me to take the food back?

[01:15:23]>> How hard is your job? Th >> This is I'm Monty and Gerard is this [ __ ] lady >> job? How intelligent do you have to be to take a food order? Jesus.

[01:15:35]>> Ma'am. Ma'am, you're absolutely right.

[01:15:39]And uh I apologize.

[01:15:43]I'm going to get this fixed for you right away.

[01:15:45]>> Good.

[01:15:46]>> And this is why I was never an [ __ ] back to the customers in the restaurants I worked in. Before we all had security cameras installed and like every action was monitored.

[01:15:57]>> Oh boy. Now I can finish my salad.

[01:16:01]>> This is This is literally what I would do when I weighed tables. Exactly what what what Ryan Reynolds is doing right now. I signal everybody at a point to the kitchen. Let's go.

[01:16:15]>> Gentlemen, >> we have our first official [ __ ] of the day.

[01:16:20]>> I never said [ __ ] by the way. I said [ __ ] McGee. That's what I used to call the the the the the mean customers.

[01:16:26]And they were always women. No dude ever freaked out like that. The worst they would ever say is, "Hey man, you know, not to be a dick." They would always apologize beforehand, right? You know, they they would always apologize and be like, "Hey, not to be a dick, but I kind of asked for a a medium well and I and this is medium rare." You know, I don't want to trouble you. They would apologize before that. Women, forget it.

[01:16:51]Women would go [ __ ] nuclear on us if we if we screwed up anything. So, I would always say, "Hey, we have a [ __ ] McGee on table five."

[01:17:04]And then I would always call the other waiters and we would take a vote.

[01:17:08]>> Oh, come on, guys. She wasn't that bad, was she?

[01:17:11]>> Well, Amy, it's your table. You decide.

[01:17:16]>> And me and the other cooks in the kitchen when I was cooking or when I was waiting, we would all do this. We would stop everything we're doing and just wait. wait for the hammer to drop or for for us to just be like, "Let's spare this woman." And then the waiter, whether it was me or someone else, >> she was a [ __ ] [ __ ] Do it.

[01:17:37]>> Me and the chefs would go like, "Oh, this [ __ ] going to get it."

[01:17:41]>> The first thing we do is we add a little extra gravy to the mashed potato.

[01:17:50]>> All true.

[01:17:51]>> Ah, that's it. Good job, buddy. Good job. Nice one. Followed by a thin spread of cheese for your garlic bread. Some fromunda cheese. Yeah. Make us proud.

[01:18:03]Fresh from the taint. We like this.

[01:18:05]Good.

[01:18:05]>> I've never done that, but I have I never put it on my taint, but I have rubbed garlic bread on like my pants that were filthy from the day and rub it on my ass. I did do that. I never rubbed it on my bare tint cuz that's disgusting.

[01:18:27]>> Good. Up next, what we're gonna do is >> Yeah. How about a little guacamole for the steak? Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. What are you doing? Come on, man.

[01:18:36]You can't be mixing Mexican and continental.

[01:18:39]Come on, man. I thought you was better than that.

[01:18:41]>> This is hilarious because I actually did that. I What Luis Guzman said, I did that exactly to someone once. He was going to blow a snot rocket cuz he had allergies. So he was like his his boogers looked like guacamole. So he was going to blow his nose on someone's guacamole. And I'm like, "What are you doing? You can't do that. Come on." Like I I fig I think the the thing I the exact thing I said to him was, "Come on, man. Our guacamole is like at least three shades greener. She's going to notice."

[01:19:16]So he did this this exact thing. Have a little garlic salt.

[01:19:24]>> That's what I'm talking about. The net, baby.

[01:19:27]>> These guys have a deep commitment to their job.

[01:19:29]>> Finally, a garnish of alalfa sprouts adds a touch of class.

[01:19:37]>> I've never put my pubes in in someone's food either.

[01:19:40]>> Class to any meal.

[01:19:46]>> Here we go.

[01:19:47]>> Um God, >> good stuff.

[01:19:52]>> And when you work in restaurants, you're so mentally broken. Like, look at my look at Ryan Reynold's face. Like, he's clearly a broken man because he works in a restaurant. He doesn't care, right? We all are broken people in restaurants.

[01:20:13]Had the chef.

[01:20:15]And then the payoff would always be and then we would just all literally look out the kitchen window and watch them eat it. If you've never seen the movie Waiting, it's a documentary. It's not a comedy.

[01:20:36]It's not a fictional movie. That is a [ __ ] documentary.

[01:20:42]And don't ever [ __ ] with people that handle food.

[01:20:46]Don't ever [ __ ] with them. I was I was a bastard in the kitchen, but I was never like I was never like as bad as some of my other cooks one time.

[01:20:57]And I I swear to Christ I saw this. I swear, hand to God, I saw this happen.

[01:21:04]I swear a woman ordered chicken Caesar, but for some reason she wanted ranch dressing instead of Caesar dressing and she wanted on the side. So we're like, "All right, whatever."

[01:21:21]I was on grill that day. Grilled the chicken, put it on the salad, send it to salad. Boom. Done. In and out. Five minutes.

[01:21:32]Send it back.

[01:21:34]chicken's overcooked.

[01:21:37]And I'm like, "No, [ __ ] you. It ain't. It's only the start of It's only the start of lunch rush. No way is it overcooked. No [ __ ] way." I checked it myself. It was It was I literally squished it and the juices were flowing out. It was perfect. This woman was just being a [ __ ] to be a [ __ ] But I'm like, "All right, let me cook it so good it looks like it's on the menu."

[01:22:09]I cook another piece of chicken perfectly. By the way, I ate that overcooked chicken. That was my lunch.

[01:22:16]Sent another breast down.

[01:22:18]Send out another fresh salad. Sent it back again.

[01:22:24]The lettuce tasted The tasted like it was soaked in water. It was not. It tasted wet. It like it tasted rotten.

[01:22:34]And now me and the salad station are looking at each other like this this this [ __ ] [ __ ] And of course it was the beginning of it was the beginning of the rush. So our chef was literally just go like, "Listen, two of you can fight over to two salads for lunch. Make another make a third one. Send it out." So we make a third one. And I I'm telling you, it was so perfect.

[01:22:59]You can literally photograph it and it would be like, "This is what a Caesar salad looks like."

[01:23:06]She sent it back again. The ranch dressing was too tangy.

[01:23:13]So, finally, I'm like, I need to [ __ ] go out. Like, I I'm I'm already up to here and uh I I'm done.

[01:23:25]So, I go out. I get I I take I take five outside. I keep my head cool because I'm about to storm to this woman's table and and like explode on her.

[01:23:36]Hand to God.

[01:23:38]Hand to [ __ ] God.

[01:23:41]I come back.

[01:23:43]I w It was a hot summer day, too. So, I came in. I cooled off. Walked in the walk-in. That's how I always like cool down. I walk in to the walk-in.

[01:23:54]the salad guy into the ranch dressing.

[01:24:02]His pants halfway down his legs and he was into the salad doing the old into the salad.

[01:24:14]And I'm and I walk in, I'm like, "What the [ __ ] are you doing?" And because people in kitchens are so broken and so [ __ ] up, he looked at me once, dick out and all it with hand in his dick in one, the ranch dressing cup in the other, and he's like, I mean, do you blame me?

[01:24:38]And mind you, the salad guy was going through a divorce, too. So this guy was he was not having it with anybody. And I'm like, and I walked right out. The dude into the dressing into the bottom of of the dressing, mixed it with the ranch dressing, sent it out, and all of us, of course, knew what he was doing. We all peeked out of the kitchen and watched this woman Pour the dressing on the salad and gobble it all up.

[01:25:23]Hand to God.

[01:25:25]I saw that happen.

[01:25:29]Hand to God. Real story.

[01:25:33]And we were all and and and we all were just busting with laughter.

[01:25:42]And our chef was like, "What are you guys all laughing at?" Our chef knew that we like, "You know, if if a customer was being a real [ __ ] during like dinner rush and we were like slammed, he let all right, if we go like on the steak, it went against his ethics, but he was like, I don't blame you. just hope you don't get [ __ ] blamed for it. If she catches you, I'm not saving you, right?

[01:26:18]So, whenever we spit in people's food, we always hid the spit to make sure they would never see that we actually spit in their food cuz that's that's rookie [ __ ] You got to like make sure that the sauce covers the spit. Mix it up nice so you don't notice the spit in in in the food.

[01:26:35]We didn't tell our chef that someone did the old into the ranch dressing.

[01:26:47]I think he may have figured it out cuz he knew we were all sick [ __ ] And this is like you got to you got to understand at the time when this happened, I graduated high school 2004.

[01:27:01]So this this is like in like a year or so after high school. So I'm like 19 I'm like 18 19 years old.

[01:27:15]And Jackass was still was peak at its point right there.

[01:27:20]So we were all doing [ __ ] up [ __ ] [ __ ] up pranks to one another.

[01:27:27]So rubbing one out into salad dressing and watching someone eat it was hilarious to us. That's how [ __ ] up we all were.

[01:27:37]And Jesse T. And that's the one she didn't send back. Yeah, that's that's the one that was so goddamn funny about it.

[01:27:48]That's the one that was so [ __ ] funny about it.

[01:27:52]Yeah. Moral story, guys. Uh, well, every restaurant now has cameras in it. Even like the shittiest dive bars have a camera in in in the kitchen. So, like you don't see people like you will never not see people on on camera if someone [ __ ] with your food.

[01:28:12]Um, I mean I one of my friends, there's only like one of my friends that I went to v vocational like cooking school with that's still cooking and he tells me stories of how people get around like the security camera saying like once in a while someone will just like take their hand, rub one on their sweaty gentleman's area and then handle their food. That's like the worst that people do now.

[01:28:40]Yeah. Well, someone brought up food.

[01:28:42]Like I I don't know how we got here. We went from Gerard from My Chemical Romance being a dick to me and then someone in the chat was like, "Don't [ __ ] with people that handle your food."

[01:28:51]That reminded me of waiting and reminded me of that story. So, I don't know how he got here, guys. I I don't know. All right.

[01:29:01]Don't Don't be [ __ ] mad at me. I'm giving you guys content. Whether it's enjoyable or not, it's another another story.

[01:29:11]I don't know how we got here, but that's the worst story that that I have from my cooking days.

[01:29:19]Other than that, I was I like the worst I ever did was like the worst I ever did was like take someone's garlic bread and not even on my bare ass like I rubbed it on on my on my pants that was like filthy from the day or whatever. That's That's the worst I ever did.

[01:29:40]So, content and life tips.

[01:29:46]Yeah.

[01:29:48]Don't [ __ ] with people that handle your food. Especially if your name's Gerard and you play in a band called My Chemical Romance. Don't be a dick.

[01:29:55]Although, I think he has like Private Chef now or like they're rich enough they can afford like private catering, but whatever. [ __ ] him. Uh, anyway, where were we at? Oh, yeah. But we were doing something here.

[01:30:16]Um, have you ever thought of running sound for a jazz group big band? Yeah, I've done it before and it's amazing. Jazz and big band stuff is literally the easiest form of music to mix, especially if the band's good.

[01:30:35]That's literally like the easiest genre to work with.

[01:30:40]Um, with jazz, you let the instruments breathe. You let the musicians do their thing and just dial out like the muddiness and like dial out what what you absolutely don't need. And then if the band's good, the instruments just breathe themselves and it just like they sing together. Jazz is all about the the the whole cohesive band in a harmony.

[01:31:03]That's where room mics are going to like really kick it into high gear. Like the room mic needs to capture the whole room and the vibe of the band playing. But yeah, I love jazz and big band stuff.

[01:31:14]Like I I love that [ __ ] Give me a good jazz thing. Give me a good jazz band and like a really good like big band stuff with a bunch of horns. Oh yeah, I'm into that.

[01:31:28]I would love to do it again, but unfortunately most of my forte and most of the stuff I work with are cover bands, punk bands, and metal bands. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

[01:31:38]It's just what what what I end up working on.

[01:31:44]Okay, no more distractions.

[01:31:48]I'm going to try not to distract.

[01:31:51]Um, all right. So, let's go over the drums.

[01:32:03]Right now, I'm just going through my processing on all the tracks to make sure it looks good.

[01:32:19]All right, that looks good.

[01:32:28]All right. So, what I got to do now is clean up the toms. So, this is going to take a while, guys.

[01:32:34]So, because they have individual hits here that I need to listen for.

[01:33:04]Yeah, that that one hit right there.

[01:33:23]I'm going to try to get that before.

[01:33:30]Okay.

[01:33:32]Before the hit.

[01:33:35]Fade in.

[01:33:38]Fade out. So you get just a tom hit.

[01:33:43]There you go.

[01:33:54]All these look like snare hits.

[01:34:25]right here. I bet.

[01:34:27]Nope. Okay.

[01:34:35]Right there. Right there's one.

[01:34:44]Okay, so we got two hits on this one.

[01:35:21]At least he's at least Durham's being consistent with what fills he does. At least it's not like, you know, going [ __ ] ham with to with Tom fills any chance they get. At least that's a good thing.

[01:35:44]We go Okay. So, this is going to be a a headache.

[01:36:22]So, this turn off the noise gate.

[01:36:33]Okay. So, we're going to have to automate the noise gate on this.

[01:36:53]All right, let me just take care of that now.

[01:37:17]Main bypass silencer.

[01:37:27]bypassed.

[01:37:30]There you go.

[01:38:03]There's those two ragtom hits again.

[01:38:40]Hey, hey, hey.

[01:38:54]Oh, here's where I'm going to get pissed off now. All right.

[01:38:58]All right.

[01:39:05]Oh, boy.

[01:39:08][ __ ] me.

[01:39:29]Ah, damn it.

[01:40:09]All right. Okay, now I got to go back and make sure all these hits are good.

[01:40:18]Oh, hello All right, that wasn't so bad.

[01:41:34]All right, toms drums cleaned up.

[01:41:48]Let's now let's check the bass. See how that sounds.

[01:43:28]Okay. So, the since these are completely different guitars that I haven't worked with before, how the [ __ ] did that get in here?

[01:43:38]Okay. Uh, yeah, a big [ __ ] fly just flew in here from outside. Great.

[01:43:50]I got to replace the screen in one of my rooms. Probably the bedroom. That's the one that Elvis likes to claw a lot.

[01:44:01][ __ ] scumbag cat. I swear to God.

[01:44:10]Oh, you [ __ ] Yes, I got you.

[01:44:15]Oh, [ __ ] yeah.

[01:44:18]Jedi [ __ ] reflexes.

[01:44:23]Ha. Go [ __ ] yourself.

[01:44:28]I got a napkin. There you go.

[01:44:33]Get out of here. That's what happens.

[01:44:37]Try to [ __ ] sneak up on me like that.

[01:44:40]Land. You know what it is? It's attracted to the light. It was attracted to my [ __ ] $20 [ __ ] light. That's what it was doing.

[01:44:52]As I was saying, um, since these are completely new guitars, I got to EQ them differently. That's just un uh what what I'm going to have to do. Clean clean rhythm.

[01:45:21]All right.

[01:45:35]Yeah, those are a little muddy sounding.

[01:45:38]So, let's let's clear this. Since they're the same guitar, same mic, same cab, I don't need to do it deal with two different tones.

[01:45:50]So, let's move this down there a little bit.

[01:45:54]Move that down.

[01:45:57]So, now we can just focus on that.

[01:47:13]I'm hearing a lot of buildup around 240 250.

[01:51:29]Oh hey.

[01:51:54]Heat.

[01:52:53]Heat. Heat. N.

[01:53:19]Natal.

[01:54:37]Heat.

[01:54:51]Heat.

[01:55:43]Heat. Hey, heat. Hey, heat.

[01:56:04]Heat. Heat.

[01:56:20]Heat.

[01:56:25]Heat.

[01:57:34]Oh, heat, heat. Heat up here.

[01:58:30]Heat.

[01:58:50]Heat.

[01:58:55]Heat.

[01:59:12]Heat.

[01:59:39]Perfect.

[02:00:19]Heat. Heat.

[02:03:37]Heat.

[02:03:48]Heat.

[02:15:00]Heat. Heat.

[02:15:50]All right, I think I might be done with this for now. I'm now I'm starting to really feel it. So, let me organize the vocal real quick.

[02:16:33]I'm not going to be playing the vocal tonight. I'm just concentrating on the instruments because this is just a radically different like not radically different, but like this is a completely different arrangement. So, I may have to like ease down the compressor on the snare. may need to ease up on the drums a little bit. So, it all depends on what the song needs. So, right now, let's just listen to what we got.

[02:16:55]Instruments only Heat. Heat.

[02:18:26]Heat. Heat.

[02:18:29]Heat. Heat.

[02:18:40]Heat. Heat.

[02:19:04]Heat up here.

[02:19:45]Heat. Heat.

[02:20:06]Heat. Heat.

[02:20:23]Heat up here.

[02:20:52]And just for shits and giggles, let's just see where the vocals are like right now with everything. I'm not even like I'm not going to adjust anything. I'm going to assume hopefully that Connor recorded the vocals exactly the same way with the same mic, same and all I would have to and all I had to literally adjust is the input gain.

[02:21:12]So Heat. Heat.

[02:21:40]by the seasquerade.

[02:23:19]Masquerade masquerade falling down all the lying on your bed.

[02:23:46]Falling down on your bed.

[02:24:11]Falling down.

[02:24:59]All right, I'm going to put another instance of repeater on this on uh verse focus doesn't need it.

[02:25:11]Chorus doesn't need it, but verse definitely needs a little more sweetener to it.

[02:25:25]Bus I forget what preset I always use.

[02:25:44]I forget which one I always use. That's like almost always a guaranteed good one.

[02:27:51]Falling down the Heat.

[02:27:57]Heat.

[02:28:07]Heat. Heat. Heat.

[02:28:19]fall down the same falling on your masquerade.

[02:28:46]But I'm just falling down.

[02:29:10]>> Yeah, that you did a clean take between the two of them.

[02:29:20]Masquerade falling down. All the same lying on your grave now. Masquerade.

[02:29:38]I'm just falling down.

[02:29:41]Masquerade.

[02:29:46]But I'm just falling down. All the same lying on your grave now.

[02:29:59]Jed, I'm just falling down.

[02:30:02]All the same lying on your grave now. Masquerade.

[02:30:12]Masquerade driving but I'm just falling down all the same lying on your grave now but I'm just falling down all the same lying on your grave Mer falling down all the lying on your braing on your paper.

[02:31:19]That's too late.

[02:31:30]This is This is all I'm going to be [ __ ] humming now for the next two days is masquerade. That's all I'm going to be [ __ ] humming now.

[02:31:42]Masquerade. That's all I'm going to be [ __ ] singing in my head.

[02:31:56]Telling all the same ling masquerade.

[02:32:21]I'm gonna say that to everyone now. I'm going to hum that melody when I say anything to anyone. Hey Chris, [ __ ] you.

[02:32:28]Suck my dick and then you can blow it out of your ass. Suck my dick and your criticisms can go to hell. Suck my dick.

[02:32:48]Your set was great. Now get the [ __ ] off of my stage. Your set was great, but I really wanna go home.

[02:33:00]I'm tired and I really want to get high. I'm really tired.

[02:33:12]Russell says, "Yeah, stop that.

[02:33:18]Stop that now.

[02:33:21]You're gonna ruin this song. Stop that now.

[02:33:35]Oh my god. No way.

[02:33:52]I'm stripping the audio out of this replay and remixing the lyrics. Oh, I'm sorry, Connor. Like, I I'm sorry. I know this is your guys' song. This is This is literally an unhinged look at what I [ __ ] do every time I mix a new project or mix a new song. I find something about it. It sticks in my head and then I just mumble dumb [ __ ] over it.

[02:34:19]Wait, hold on. I got to since I'm doing something bad and naughty.

[02:34:25]There you go. Darth Ham.

[02:34:28]Darth Ham is back one more time.

[02:34:32]Use the Force, but don't ever watch The Last Jedi. Oh, wait. That didn't sound right.

[02:34:44]Star Wars rules except the [ __ ] that is the last Jedi.

[02:34:49]No. God damn it. Now I just ruined it myself. Darth Ham ruined everything.

[02:34:54]Yeah. Okay, dude. I want someone to like literally if some like literally of all my streams I I hum and I sing dumb [ __ ] when when I'm like working and like winding up cables.

[02:35:19]I'm surprised no one has taken those streams and made a made a super cut of that.

[02:35:25]like the radio producer in me that I that I used to be um back in the day would anytime anytime Dave LGrea would sing on Busted Open, you know, the show I used to produce at SiriusXM. Um, anytime he would sing, I I I made like one of those like uh uh '9s musical infomercial bits or whatever where I went like coming soon from Busted Open Records, Dave Lrea sings all the hits and it would be a compilation of him singing all the [ __ ] that he did.

[02:36:08]I need to rest my ears anyway because I was I I was blasting it. So now I'm getting the second wind of the second wind.

[02:36:15]Uh so [ __ ] it. We'll hang out a little bit more.

[02:36:19]I really should go to bed, but like I I I'm I'm not well.

[02:36:26]You could say I'm not okay.

[02:36:32]McGregor versus Star Wars. What is this?

[02:36:37]Jesus. You're gonna You're gonna mention a meme and not even send me a link?

[02:36:40]That's [ __ ] rude. Uh um Conor McGregor against Star Wars.

[02:36:53]Okay.

[02:36:55]McGregor versus Star Wars. Here it is.

[02:36:56]Okay. So, is this it?

[02:37:07]He's a magnificent creature. Big, dangerous.

[02:37:11]He'll be unconscious in 60 seconds.

[02:37:20]>> Greg, you're reading that wingspan from the opening set. Do it. Clean. Back to range. Perfect.

[02:37:26]>> That body kick is connecting through the McGregor is landing and he has zero fear of this thing.

[02:37:35]>> Oh, AI is so awesome.

[02:37:37]>> Landed on the WA rocked it.

[02:37:40]>> Oh my goodness. McGregor just knocked out.

[02:37:43]>> Yes.

[02:37:46]>> Conor McGregor just knocked out a >> Oh, General Grievous.

[02:37:52]>> Four chances to get hit. Precision beats power. timing beat speed and I have both. He has four of neither.

[02:37:59]Yes, there they are. Four of them as expected.

[02:38:05]Working between the arms, left hand of the mass, body kick through the gap.

[02:38:08]McGregor is mapping this cyborg in real time.

[02:38:12]>> Dude, dude, I'm I'm sorry. Like all all the snobs that [ __ ] and moan about AI, like this is what stupid AI is meant for. Like I'm sorry, guys. Like when when I make a thumbnail on my channel about what is it? Uh Sound Guy Sins.

[02:38:42]Like I made this thumbnail for Sound Guy Sins and I told it I told AI to take a picture of me and the exact [ __ ] prompt that I gave Grock was take this picture of me but somehow make me fatter and more [ __ ] looking.

[02:39:04]And it gave me that.

[02:39:07]I put this AI generated image in the thumbnail and the people went ballistic in the comment section to the point where listen I have no shame in a minute that I delete comments. Like especially if you're just coming in to be an [ __ ] Like I'll delete comments and I don't care. But people were [ __ ] going ballistic on me for saying, "Oh my god, you took work away from a graphic artist."

[02:39:39]And they were like self-righteous.

[02:39:43]I'm on YouTube. I can't say it. But like, you know what word I'm trying to say? They're being just self-righteous.

[02:39:51]Two-cllable words.

[02:39:54]Godamn, man.

[02:39:56]like douchebag. We'll say douchebag instead of what I really want to say, but like self-righteous douchebags, like screaming at me about using a Grock generated AI image for a joke in a thumbnail.

[02:40:16]I'm just going to respond now.

[02:40:20]I'm just going to [ __ ] respond now with this. This is what stupid hilarious AI was was meant for. I love it.

[02:40:31]>> Hot take. This isn't actually it is Tuesday. It's almost Tuesday. Hot take generated AI content is totally fine.

[02:40:40]It's totally fine if you're making a joke or a parody or using it for comedic purposes. If you're using for commercial release and you're trying to use AI to generate your music, then yeah. Yeah.

[02:40:49]No, [ __ ] you. Don't do that. But like if you want to make a bit or do comedy or make some sort of like joke about something like this, totally fine. I don't give a [ __ ] >> I say this as someone who literally takes professional photographs for a living.

[02:41:10]So I I I hate clarifying myself as this.

[02:41:13]I hate calling myself this, but I am a literal professional artist.

[02:41:20]You want to define photography as an art? Fine. I am an artist. I take this camera and I take pictures for a living.

[02:41:33]So, I am a professional photographer.

[02:41:36]I do not care if someone takes a photo that I take and uses it for AI or if some or if Grock looks at my editing style on my Instagram and someone says edit a photo like Chris Hamill photo. I don't care.

[02:41:52]It doesn't bother me and it won't [ __ ] affect me because if I ever become that famous where they're like, "Oh, that's a Chris Hamill color grade."

[02:42:01]They'll just find me and ask me to edit their photos or take their photos. The best photographers in the world who AI is like stealing their shtick and stealing their editing style, they're fine. They're not starving and losing work because they're being paid tens of thousands of dollars per gig to do their thing. I'm sorry.

[02:42:24]Like if if if I'm Conor McGregor and I'm watching this, I'm laughing my [ __ ] ass off.

[02:42:31]And I'm and I'm retweeting this and going like putting Grievous to sleep faster than Obi-Wan, right? That's what I'm saying. Have fun.

[02:42:45]Yeah, AI is here. We might as well have fun with it and make dumb [ __ ] like this.

[02:42:49]>> McGregor is mapping this cyborg in real time.

[02:42:54]>> The four punch at once makes that kills me.

[02:42:59]arm pitcher block with two and swung with the others. McGregor has never trained for anything like this.

[02:43:06]>> He went under all four once and he's driving Grievous into the cage.

[02:43:10]Unbelievable timing power.

[02:43:15]>> Put Grievous asleep since 2014. It has never been more true.

[02:43:21]>> Why haven't I seen this?

[02:43:24]>> Half of it this morning. We are not so different, you and I.

[02:43:33]I'd like to take this opportunity to apologize to absolutely nobody. Not even >> I love the top comment. I didn't know this was AI until McGregor landed a takedown.

[02:43:46]Look, seriously, like everyone's having fun with it. Don't be a self-righteous [ __ ] [ __ ] and go like, "Oh, you you you're clearly taking work away from industrial light and magic." Even him >> body kick lands clean and Maul uses gymnastics to clear the range instantly.

[02:44:03]This is a completely different kind of opponent.

[02:44:07]>> Five strike combination. McGregor is landing in volume. Darth Maul is in the fence and he has to find an answer right now. McGregor is down. He's back up.

[02:44:16]That counter right hand from Darth Maul just dropped Conor McGregor.

[02:44:22]>> He is under siege on the fence. McGregor is taking a beating and he needs to get out of there right now.

[02:44:28]>> He shot a double leg. McGregor took down.

[02:44:31]>> Yeah, that >> Here's a fake. McGregor landed a double leg takedown.

[02:44:37]>> Naked from McGregor.

[02:44:40]>> Dude, this looks so good. Like, who who did this messing around mid Journey?

[02:44:45]Like, is this the original uploader of this? Is this their video?

[02:44:50]Oh, yeah. This guy takes MMA fighters and and and generates AI. You know what?

[02:44:54]I am subbing to him because this is amazing.

[02:44:58]Testing limits of current AI to make the coolest. Who? Yeah. Again, who gives a [ __ ] This is hilarious. I love it.

[02:45:06]Bravo, sir. I'm going to watch the rest of this.

[02:45:10]>> Conor McGregor.

[02:45:18]>> Oh, he's going against Palpatine. I've seen scarier things at closing time.

[02:45:23]He'll be unconscious before he finishes a sentence.

[02:45:31]>> McGregor circling, using the jab to measure. He's looking for the entry point on a man who looks like he moved in 40 years.

[02:45:40]>> Three shots landed clean three and the emperor is standing there like Conor McGregor's a mild inconvenience.

[02:45:46]>> Force lightning. McGregor is being electrocuted in the US octagon and the referee has ruled this legal.

[02:45:50]>> He is being electrocuted and he is putting his guard up. Conor McGregor is raising his guard during a force lightning strike.

[02:45:56]>> He's walking into it. He is walking into force lightning. This is the most insane thing I have ever seen.

[02:46:00]>> He's walking into the force lightning.

[02:46:03]McGregor the lightning.

[02:46:06]>> Hold on. We need a special judge. We need special judge. Darth Ham is here as a special side ring announcer.

[02:46:14]Left uppercut right hand. Oh. Oh.

[02:46:18]>> Knocked out Darth Cidius.

[02:46:25]>> I mean, he's he's the biggest big bad.

[02:46:28]Who do you get more bigger than Palpatine?

[02:46:32]>> Count Dooku.

[02:46:34]>> A sword. He brought a sword to a fist fight. I genuinely respect the commitment.

[02:46:39]>> You have no idea what you're walking into.

[02:46:42]>> He's threatening me with a cape on. I love this sport.

[02:46:46]>> McGregor's jab keeps finding that blade.

[02:46:48]Count Dooku is using form two, the most economical sword defense in the galaxy apparently.

[02:47:01]He's using for Oh, this is great. This is so great. now valid in the UFC. McGregor went outside the sword and the body kick landed.

[02:47:14]>> But Dooku just repositioned like nothing happened. The form is the problem. Conor has never faced geometry like this.

[02:47:19]>> Dooku just hit McGregor with lightning and McGregor stumbled. There is no one on the other.

[02:47:25]>> Force up.

[02:47:28]>> Yo, that's a really good Joe Rogan.

[02:47:33]>> This is [ __ ] amazing. to explain to me what this man has made.

[02:47:44]>> Legs are going down.

[02:47:45]>> Conor McGregor just knocked out Count Dooku with a left uppercut inside.

[02:47:49]>> Yo, they got the slow-mo looking. Oh, wow.

[02:47:54]>> You walked through it. What was going through your head in that moment?

[02:47:56]>> He had me, Joe. The lightning. He had me. And I looked down at my hands. I thought, I'm still here. That's the story of my life. Knock me down. I'm still here, baby. I am the future of this entire division.

[02:48:07]>> Holy [ __ ] That's good.

[02:48:11]Darth Ham approves.

[02:48:16]>> Late in ' 84. We were gearing up for a major offensive. So the higher ups and >> it just autoplayed a a montage of the boys. Okay, I need to send this. I'm sorry. I know my buddy Merch is live right now, but like hold on. I need to I need to I need to now look at him look at his stream. I know he's live. So, yeah.

[02:48:49]Did he I I don't know if he played it or not because I'm sure someone sent it to him because he likes UFC and [ __ ] like that. No, he reviewed Police body cams.

[02:49:08]All right.

[02:49:13]Yeah, dude. That is that is so [ __ ] good.

[02:49:21]That Conor McGregor [ __ ] is so good.

[02:49:31]No, he's he's going on right now about something else. So, like he won't get to it, but like I'll I'll I'll I'll send it to him when he's off the when he's off his show and then he he can [ __ ] play it if he wants. But oh my god, dude. McCor McGregor and [ __ ] uh fighting Star Wars villains. Just that killed me. That was so good.

[02:49:55]That was so amazing.

[02:50:05]Yeah, we're going to raid Merch in a second. All like all one of you that's on Rumble.

[02:50:13]I don't know if he could take I don't know if Conor uh Conor McGregor can take Darth Bane though or Darth Plegus the wise. He's Darth Plegus is so wise. Darth Plegus may see what what's going on with McGregor's game, but I don't know. I don't even know if Darth Plegus can uh match the power of Francis and Ganu.

[02:50:43]That's good. I like I love You know what? There's there's there's bad AI slop where like people try to like, you know, fake real [ __ ] and then there's just good AI slop that just has fun with it. It embraces it and like just goes fullon like amazing comedy at that. That's that's fantastic.

[02:51:10]All right, we are um we are fast approaching the end here. I am legit sleepy now. I don't know if you can see. Like, look at the bags under my eyes. Today was a brutal day. So, I did three real estate listings today, but and they were all with the same client. He did three listings, but the homeowners were just being [ __ ] [ __ ] So, I live a stones throw away from Staten Island, New York. I live in I live in Woodbridge, New Jersey. Um the first appointment was in a town called uh Middletown or Hasllett, which is about 35 minutes southeast.

[02:51:57]It's right near Seabbrite, like right near the starting point of the Jersey Shore. So 35 minutes southeast.

[02:52:06]Then I had to go about an hour and a half northwest to get to um to get to Byum, which is all the way up in the sticks in the boonies, northwest Jersey.

[02:52:22]Then I had to drive all the way down again down the shore to Barnagette, which is south of Seaside Heights.

[02:52:33]That took almost two and a half hours to get there from Byum because there was also traffic.

[02:52:42]And then I finally had to go home. I begged him, "Can we please just have the Jersey Shore stuff in one so I could do one trip all the way down, one trip all the way up, and then come home?" No. He wanted me to go debt, debt, debt, and then home.

[02:53:02]I drove at the very least 300 miles today.

[02:53:10]At the very least with traffic, back roads, all that [ __ ] My ears are still raining, so let me figure this out real quick. Hold on. Let me actually look up how much I drove today.

[02:53:29]I'm not going to put my screen on here because I'm typing in my address. I don't want you to [ __ ] get my address. Um, Sebrite and Byum and Barnagette and then back home because I started out with a full tank and I'm I start out with a full tank and I'm at half a tank today.

[02:53:59]Yeah. 295 miles.

[02:54:03]Yeah, I was right. 300 miles.

[02:54:06]roughly.

[02:54:11]You don't sound like anyone from Jersey Shore. Yeah, I I try to hide.

[02:54:17]I'm trying very hard to not let my jersey come out.

[02:54:24]Most people, most normal people say coffee.

[02:54:32]Coffee. Everyone in Jersey says coffee.

[02:54:40]People say water.

[02:54:45]I say water.

[02:54:47]So the New York New Jersey comes out.

[02:54:52]And I always, in case you didn't know, I use my hands a lot. So like we Jersey hand gesture Italian. I I caught myself literally like doing this today. the Italian like, "Yeah, you [ __ ] you." But I usually just quote Good Fellas or I or I specifically quote Paulie Walnuts from The Sopranos a lot if I'm pissed off.

[02:55:14]Like anytime anytime I I have a real estate agent and it's an Asian person and they break my balls about stuff, I always get in my car and I always do like remember Pearl Harbor.

[02:55:34]No, but uh I don't sound like anyone from Jersey Shore. Most people from Jersey Shore.

[02:55:40]The reason why people sound like Jersey Shore from Jersey Shore is because they're all New Yorkers. Because New Yorkers, See, there's a jersey that came out. New Yorkers. New Yorkers polluted the [ __ ] out of uh their beaches. Jones Beach is a [ __ ] hole.

[02:55:59]Uh Coney Island is an absolute dump to the point where if you walk on a beach, you'll find needles in it.

[02:56:06]New Yorkers polluted their own beaches, so they come to Jersey. They come to the Jersey Shore. Half the plates at the Jersey Shore in the summer are all New York plates. New Yorkers want to [ __ ] on Jersey all the time, but they can't help but invade our beaches in the summertime. [ __ ] posers.

[02:56:27]Yeah. So, the homeowners today, like we just couldn't budge. There was a the the one person who was really like a real stickler was the the one all the way south in Barnagette. The homeowner was like something along the lines of like I'm on online classes all day and I don't want anyone like disturbing me.

[02:56:51]And we're like if you're on online classes you could take your laptop and just migrate to another room like you're listening to a lecture. She's like no I need my privacy. I need my concentration and I'm like so because of that I had to drive an extra like 150 miles.

[02:57:15]So I was I was pissed and it and the listing started at 8 a.m.

[02:57:21]So we started the morning like bright and early. I got out at Let me Let me rephrase. Bright and early to most people is like 5:30, 6 a.m. I don't know what 5:30 or 6 a.m. is. If I'm up at 5:30 or 6 a.m., it's because I've been up the night before and I'm going to bed. 5:30, 6 a.m. is non-existent to me.

[02:57:43]Bright and early for me is 7:30, 8 o'clock in the morning. So, if I'm up at 7:30, I'm I'm feeling it already by 9:00.

[02:57:55]But nevertheless, I got up at 7, showered, did my business, got out the door, went to the first listing, got there at 8, and then we had to go all the way up to Byum back. I by the time I got home, I still had to deposit some cash in the bank, take care of grocery errands, and take care of other things.

[02:58:16]By the time I was all done, I was back home at six, 10 hours out, constantly moving.

[02:58:25]Then I had to quickly edit and upload my photos before I went on live tonight.

[02:58:35]So say so people say I can't I can't I can't say it normally co coffee coffee but I say coffee.

[02:58:54]I overounce the o's and the 's.

[02:58:58]My o's come out as a coffee. That's how pe That's how people in Jersey say it.

[02:59:04]People in Jersey and New York say coffee or water. I say water.

[02:59:12]If I concentrate, I can I I say water.

[02:59:15]But mostly my my my water comes out as w a da water.

[02:59:26]The waitress comes to me and and they'll go like, "What can I get you to drink?"

[02:59:31]and I'll go like, "Yeah, I'll take a diet coke and a water."

[02:59:37]Yep. That's that's that's the New York New Jersey in me. All right, let's finish up. We're going to listen to this song as is. It's not It's not even close to being done. I I'm going to have to do a lot of other things to it. But whether I go live tomorrow night or not, I don't know. But we're going to finish up tonight and then we're going to raid Merch and I'm going to have some cereal for dinner.

[03:00:03]Uh because I definitely don't feel like cooking. Um I'll have some cereal for dinner and then I'll go to sleep because I got to be up early earlyish for me is like 9:00 a.m. So I got to be up at 9:00 tomorrow morning. So let's listen to the song in full. No interruptions. It's not done yet, but um like I said, we're about 80% of the way there already.

[03:00:58]masquerade falling down all the same lying on the grave masquerade but I'm just falling down all the same lying on your grave.

[03:01:51]time falling down the same ling. on masquerade.

[03:02:25]Damn it. I'm just falling down.

[03:02:28]All the same lying on your grave now but I'm just falling down all the same lying on your grave now I'm falling down by the lying on your time when I'm falling down.

[03:03:58]Master telling I'm just falling down all the same ling. I'm okay now.

[03:04:29]Hell yeah.

[03:04:40]That sounds pretty dope.

[03:04:45]Jesse T, I noticed the jersey comes out in your voice when you're angry. Oh, so I guess it comes out a lot, right? Huh?

[03:04:51]Because apparently I'm just an angry [ __ ] Um, yeah, when I get annoyed and pissed off even Yeah, of course the jersey comes out.

[03:05:01]Of course the jersey comes out.

[03:05:04]Um, yeah, that sounds pretty dope so far.

[03:05:09]I'm pretty happy with it.

[03:05:12]Where we are right now at least. It's like it it's not done, but like maybe I got to dial back the compressor on the drums, adjust the levels, adjust the um the aggressiveness of the compressor on the drums or automate the compressor so that when it when the chorus kicks in, then it really snaps up.

[03:05:39]But there, this one's going to have a little bit of automation. So, we'll we'll address it on on the on the next episode.

[03:05:50]Um, but right now, let's see. Is Merch live on YouTube? No, he's not. He's still live on Rumble. So, okay. Oh, by the way, I got notified. Facebook is nuked.

[03:06:12]Facebook got uh nuked.

[03:06:17]Um, Warner Music Group nuked the whole stream. You can't see it. It's blurry, but I read it. The following actions were applied to your video by Warner Music Group rights manager because it contains 1 minute and 11 seconds of copyright uh of content they own and it was Fleetwood video segment, audio segment, they nuked it on Facebook. As bad as fa as as bad as YouTube is with copyright, as horrible as it is with copyright, Facebook is worse. Facebook is so much worse and so is Twitch.

[03:07:08]So Facebook's nuked. There's nothing I can do about it.

[03:07:12]Like they they like Yeah, it's like they just shut it down completely.

[03:07:18]So, all right. There's only like a tiny tiny amount of people watching. So, this is like this is a good time to scadaddle as a kid say.

[03:07:37]So, we're going to raid Merch and um we're going to head out. All right.

[03:07:47]Rated MCH. Thank you for everyone for watching. We'll be back maybe tomorrow.

[03:07:52]No, I'm going to karaoke tomorrow night.

[03:07:54]No, I won't be live tomorrow. Wednesday.

[03:07:56]Wednesday, probably. Um, so take care
