  • I’ve never shot in color film, so I don’t really have a go to film (am still looking into what’s what there), and I’m not familiar with what developers are available for color let alone what works well with what films. I’ve seen a few tutorials but most of them are for the “simplified kits” which have super mixed reviews. My plan is to get chemicals and run a bunch of different film types/brands until I find what works for my style.

    I don’t have a lot of excess room in my apartment so I do my best to work within my footprint and generate a setup that can be folded up into a box but I’m crafty enough to get a sous vide working momentarily. How big would you suggest I need the tub to be?

    I like the hose idea, the basin method is how I’ve been doing my b+w but I’ve been struggling to get consistent temps with my new sink and the hose might work to help solve that.

    I’m not a perfectionist and can appreciate a little wonk in my process but would still like to be able to get the result I’m aiming at.










  • Mixed and mastered in my local scene for awhile.

    1. Sometimes they have ideas, most don’t care to be involved because of how minute what’s happening is. Most of mastering is volume tinkering and setting up for specific release formats (Spotify vs cd/mo3 would have a different cut).

    2. is mostly led by the reference tracks given to you by the artist and the styles of the scene they play in. Everyone wants to sound unique, but they want to sound like their kin too. It’s pretty standard for artists to provide reference material for the producer to aim for to that effect.

    3. look into the loudness wars lol trends definitely come and go, and each genre has its own ebb and flow of what’s useful/ good at any given time.

    TLDR there are trends here and there but most of the “sound” is sorted in the writing and mixing prior to the final polish that is mastering.











  • If it’s any consolation, I’m a woman and get the all the same bullshit. I put effort in, I read bios, I give thoughtful answers and openers…

    Half my conversations are them asking to fuck, a third are just doa and don’t respond and whatever’s left is the driest most unengaging conversation you could possibly imagine.

    When I do find someone worth chatting with long term I end up having to set everything up only for them to either ghost or just fade away through text over the course of a few days.

    It’s soul crushing. I hardly even bother anymore.
