There are actually a fair few of us hovering around this sub, I reckon we'll be able to get to the bottom of it.

Can you upload some audio samples?

What does the vocal go through? can you detail your mic, preamp/interfaces, and your vocal chain plugins, and also whatever you've got on your master channel? Maybe as screenshots?

/u/Secret_Win1212 might well be on to something, and there are some other similar things that could be causing this.

Gender can no longer be taken into account for pricing car insurance, under equality law. So it would simply be that it's a couple rather than a single person.

The car is more automatic than ever - most of the regen and deployment is decided by the car.

* Based on the drivers' inputs.

It could be that Kimi's more consistent in his inputs so the car is working more in tune with him.

You mangled the link, but that sentence was expected given the charge they let him plead guilty to, rather than the much more serious ones he was actually charged with.

Has the "waiting for the big cahuna teammate to leave" career strategy ever actually worked out in F1? What's happened to George always seems to be the result...

In case anyone doubts the plausiblity: https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2012/apr/22/f1-force-india-bahrain

Yeah, same with their interactions with Lewis for a change, actually. I don't think he once had to ask twice for something.

His pre-race interviews today were great

Hamilton was being really specific throughout the race about there being no front - across each set of tyres, even when matching Leclerc's pace - and you could see the understeer quite clearly, too. They put on four stops of wing at the last stop, which is way more than I've seen before, so it clearly was a real issue.

I figured it was probably debris or something, given they said Charles had the same wing level as him. But less rear downforce would have also balanced the car out a bit.

Well that'll explain why he had more front than Lewis...

Much as I dislike it, the capabilities of the advanced AI tools like Suno Studio (i.e. not the simple Suno stuff you're probably familiar with) are pretty revolutionary.

There's been quite a bit on the synthesis side over the last 10 years, especially wavetable stuff, taking established techniques and taking to way further than previously conceived. Really interesting and intuitive ways of manipulating sounds at your fingertips, beyond just the resonance/cutoff/unison. Arturia's micro and mini freaks, say, and the Iridium, etc.

One thing that has been fascinating and has become seemingly completely universal in mixing is Soothe 2. People are abusing in ways well beyond what was initially intended. It's almost the inverse of when people discovered you could get a really aggressive sound by overloading an amp.

Tom Jones. And yes I had seen pictures too. He is apparently not black,

They do that with black musicians too still today - change the brightness on their photos depending on what market they're trying to hit. I remember Rihanna looked white in some of her early promo shots (on this side of the Atlantic at least...)

There was a lot of racist and homophobic hatred towards disco back in the day. The idea that white people would do it probably never entered a lot of people's minds back then.

Yeah, I can definitely see how you thought that with Levine - there had been a bunch of recent black singers with that kind of nasal vocal style and tone in the previous few years.

or do some artists actually struggle to recreate what they made in the studio?

There is a degree to which there's sometimes a "skill issue" involved, particularly with regard to timing and precision of how cleanly notes are hit. Until the mid 90s, musicians had to practice the part until they could nail it in studio - otherwise subtle timing issues were glaringly obvious.

That's not the case today, they can get it mostly right then we can align it.

But if they don't practice more strictly and tighten up their playing before they go out live, they can sound quite sloppy in comparison to studio.

I hunted down some live videos of Between The Buried and Me's Voice of Trespass recently, and it struck me as an example of this (not saying I'd be able to play a single bar of that myself, of course!)

And even without the editing, there are only so many band members an artist can put on stage.

Unless OP wants to ban overdubs in recording, some parts are simply going to have to get dropped when playing live.

Bands learn their craft over time. What you describe as liking about their earlier stuff is how raw it was, but that is often more down to inexperience than conscious intent. It's very difficult to retrospectively channel that youthful brashness - artists always trend towards sounding more polished as they get older.

Coincidentally, it got posted on the sub today, but "Welcome to the Black Parade".

I'd heard it around at the time, but for whatever reason faded into the background for me. I "rediscovered" it a couple of years ago, and wow, what a magnificent accomplishment that song is.

That is one hell of a lineup. 😱 Tempted to fly over myself.

Ordinarily, I wouldn't suggest going with one of the fancier passes, but looking at those tickets, in your case it might be worth it, if only for the better toilets, lockers, and possibly shorter food queues. The "VIP pass" is the one that stands out.

If his favourite bands are on at the same time late in the night, it's probably best to pick one, as at most festivals it can be a impractical to jump between headline acts. Though you'll quickly get a sense while you're there.

But the best thing about festivals is that your favourite bands end up being the ones you've never seen or even heard of before. There are always sooooo many great acts on early on the smaller stages. Don't get fixated on the big guys.

As for travel - I would check local subs for previous attendees of that specific festival. There can be jams getting in and out, or it could be well managed. It may be that the shuttle busses are the best option, etc. Or they could be a terrible option.

The other thing I'd sanity check is if there are age gates that block the vip access.

Yeah, I think so. In free practice and quali, on average, every second lap is a slow lap of some sort, with all the in-laps, cool downs, prep laps, out-laps, and a driver will be trying to keep out of the way of a half dozen cars on each one.

With 22 drivers, each doing 30 or so laps in an FP session, it's a lot of dodging.

The impeding incidents are actually rare aberrations.

If you tune into a driver's onboards, they are all getting a continuous stream of countdowns: "norris pushing, 6 behind, norris 5, sainz 7, norris 4, 3... Sainz 3"...

They are all very good at managing this, and getting out of the way. Sometimes it goes wrong, but it's not going to get much better with tech.

The root cause is that, as DC says, there shouldn't be slow cars on the race track.

I seem to recall a few years ago they re-formalised the use of FP times for setting the grid in the event quali can't occur. I wonder is this change something along those lines.

It should be possible. It's not that big a number - 4k people in a country of 70 million.

As I understand it, it was functionally zero ten years ago or so, with it primarily being just those who could not / would not avail of the housing remaining out.

Burnham has - as a flagship policy - that every rough sleeper in the country will have accommodation by Christmas.
