As I mentioned replying to another post here on r/harleybenton, since my TE90 FLT blue blast was originally already a green blast, and loosing it's shine in the years, I decided to remove all the paint and do a completely transparent matte finish on it. The palette was not painted but there was like a vineer on top, the body is indeed painted and the wood was filled with like a resin in some spot, to fill gaps and imperfections. I removed nearly all the paint with an orbital sander starting with 80P going all the way down to 240P - the difficult part is in the lower cut, I think i will remove it with a wood file and then do some manual sanding.

Now there are some quirks going on, since

After 3 and a half weeks with a new Pixel 6, I can't take it for the only reason everyone is talking about: the fingerprint sensor is not only unreliable, but it's totally inconsistent. It pratically doesn't work 98% of the time. Tried a bunch of "fixes" but no one solve the problem. I can't justify having a brand new phone that simply doesn't work. It's sad because other than that the battery life was incredible (always wifi and 4G, I couldn't go below 30% remaining at the end of the day) and the overall Android stock experience is awesome. I'd really want to like this phone, but I have to send it back.

The options for me are:

• brand new Oneplus 9 Pro at 814€
• refurbished S21 Ultra at 87

I'm actually considering to buy a new phone, coming from OnePlus 5T 8/128. I purchased a Pixel 6 but the first 10 days or so were meh. Great overall phone, and stock feeling is fantastic, but the known issues are frustrating (fingerprint sensor on top of all), I experienced also misinterpreted touches and gboard freezing from time to time. So I was considering S21 Ultra at a discounted price (995€ for 12/256 with tpu cover and screen protection) or S22+ at 1079 (for 8/256) with free buds pro, considering I don't love curved screens, 45w charging is appealing, and +1 year of major updates.

What do you think?

I'm going to upgrade my old 5T solely for a) battery dying too quickly b) security patches are December 2020 and c) some bugs and of Oxygen Os 10.0.1 mainly lags in keyboard typing and freezing apps.

I'm currently testing a Pixel 6, but the fingerprint sensor ruin the overall fantastic experience with android stock, at the point it's irritating how slow and unreliable it is. I noticed also here and there some misinterpreted touches.

So I'm sending back the Pixel 6 and considered various candidates, at the end I'm choosing between a OnePlus 9 Pro and a S21 Ultra with a bit of discount. Have anyone here have experience with both or one of the two phones?

I finally manage to step up my field recording gear. The old H2 have done really good but for me now its downsides are so big that it slow down all the process from preparation to set and be done. I've ordered a Zoom F6 to pair with my Sony A7rIII for videos, + an Akg contact mic + a Sennheiser MKE 600 + Clippy Em172 XLR matched pair. I will do mostly ambient and sound design to use with my musical project. I also ordered a PCM D100 (found a good warehouse deal on amazon) and a Tascam Dr100 mk3 to do a comparison with internal/external mics, but I plan to use the handheld for more run and gun recording without having to build up an entire rig before hitting rec

Hi! This is my first post and hope nobody will get bored going through this, it will be [sort-of] TL:DR type of post.

To complement my music (ambient guitar) I frequently recurr to ambiance and nature recordings. Since I want the best audio quality for my recordings I'd like to upgrade from my current setup to a much better overall ambient recording setup. Currently I'm using my old and beaten-up Zoom H2 (not the "n" one) with a windshield from Gutmann, purchased on amazon. I noticed that even if the deadcat appears to work, sometimes it resembles to take up strange noticeable "whistles" frome the upper side of the fur. Sometimes I record directly in camera from a cheap Boya BY-MM-1. I

I don't know if someone have proposed this for future implementations. But I'd like to build entire evolving ambient sketches on this fantastic machine, and then merge the layers in post crossfading them in the DAW. I know it's a minor thing, but adding crossfading between layers could be really helpful for live situations. And also let me do one passage less in the DAW (:P)... Maybe it could not be possible since the mod a/b switches are only for future modifiers additions. But hey... at least I tried ;)

Hi all, first post here. First week or so with Blipe's Blooper (YAY!).

I don't know if someone asked before the same question. I don't even know if I'm dumb and the purpose of blooper was another thing from what I was expecting. But is the recording time of Blooper only 32 seconds circa? What If I want to record a long evolving ambient pad and want to rearrange it in a Blooper-fashion way with all the modifiers, random sweeps and ramping and so on? With all the really pleasing things in this pedal I can't believe the recording time could be so low. Is there even a remote chance to get a longer recording time in future updates? Maybe not too much, even 1 minute will be a thing (or mayb

I'm planning to buy a monitor for editing my photos to print and sell them. I want to print a high quality product. I was oriented towards the LG 27UD88-W because it is 4k and has an usb-c connection which is convenient for my 2016 macbook pro. But then I noticed that it covers "only" 78% of Adobe RGB color spectrum. In the price range of my budget there are some 1440p monitors that cover 99% Adobe RGB but none of them has usb-c connections. Some of my work is online so also sRGB is important, and nearly all these monitors has 99% or more coverage of sRGB. My question is: is 78% of AdobeRGB enough to produce good prints or is better to go with less resolution and much higher AdobeRGB coverag
