how to seperate the professionals from the amateurs

or something

That is fucking priceless.

I knew a guy that made a mint selling these hockey puck things that you could place between your components to properly “isolate” them (not from vibration, but from each other, for reasons unknown).

He sold a ton of them. People are idiots.

Wait, that’s not a joke?

not a joke, check out the rest of the site

I actually have a lot of admiration for people who take it to this level

they actually sell “magic pebbles”

sry “brilliant” not magic

No come on, it’s a joke right?

It hurts the soul.

Promethean Base isolates moderate to heavy loads from sesimic type vibration—especially of the 0 -10 Hz variety produced by Earth’s crust movement, traffic, subways, tides, etc.

Earthquakes, too. Don’t you hate it when you’re laying down a totally massive unrepeatable solo in the studio and then a totally massive earthquake jars your amp in the middle of it, producing a totally embarassing jolt of the reverb chamber? WELL, NO MORE! If you can stay on the chair, then your tasty lix will live forever!

I’ve always wondered how I could get the bleed of earthquake rumble into my microphones without also throttling the reverb.

I’ve often thought of doing something like this.

But I have...scruples.
