Custom ones fitted to your ears are quite a bit more expensive.

Bedroom curtains to help deaden sound (or other good sound deadening furniture) by fellowapemanin BeforeYouBuy

You're better off using rigid fibreglass insulation covered in fabric—cheaper and more absorbent than acoustic foam. Here's some good avice on acoustic treatment:

Have you tried tracking drums and cymbals separately?

Where was the hat mic positioned?

Yeah, I'm an engineer too. I love my Sennheiser 280's, but I really would like something more portable. Maybe one day I'll have a grand to blow on custom IEM's?

Ear damage is relative to your listening level, not the type of headphones. But headphones that let in lots of outside noise may encourage people to listen at higher volumes.

Yeah, that's basically how we did it. But alcohol and trees were involved, so we were pretty loose about what was allowed. We ended up with this!

Ah, I thought that was an automatic CSS thing! I'll delete it and repost.

Better Guitar Sound by victornivorskiin audioengineering

Unless I'm doing a close/ambient setup, I'll usually use only one mic on a guitar cab anyway.

[–]MistyMountainHop 2 points3 points ago

Sometimes I'll even do something that I know I will never get paid for. I record music because I love doing it and to increase my profile. The lower I keep my expectations regarding payment, the happier I'll be when it actually happens!

Not every man is able to create mutual attraction completely naturally. Some need a more specific set of skills that they can practice and improve on. The great thing is that you can choose which of these techniques you want to apply in your own life. I disagree with a lot of the material that is posted there, so I ignore it and stick with the stuff I do like.

Seddit also generally discourages wasting your time on a specific woman who is obviously not attracted to you (they call this "oneitis"), and to instead approach more people to practice your social skills and find ones who are. It's impossible to become more attractive instantly, you have to put some effort into it.

I am not frogma. Seddit is not frogma. If you disagree with what frogma said (and I'd certainly agree with you), tell him so. But please don't take it out on a random person who happens to subscribe to the same subreddit.

Redditor calls out PUA creeper [-12], Y U HATE MEN WHO WANT SEX Redditry ensues by MsNomerin ShitRedditSays

[–]MistyMountainHop -10 points-9 points ago* 

Walkin' in the park just the other day, baby,
What do you, what do you think I saw?
Crowds of people sittin' on the grass with flowers in their hair said,
"Hey, Boy, do you wanna score?"
And you know how it is.
I really don't know what time it was, woh, oh, oh
so I asked them if I could stay a while.

I didn't notice but it had got very dark and I was really
Really out of my mind.
Just then a policeman stepped up to me and asked us, said, "Please, hey,
would we care to all get in line, Get in line."
Well, you know, they asked us to stay for tea and have some fun; Oh, oh, oh.
he said that his friends would all drop by, ooh.

Why don't you take a good look at yourself and describe what you see,
and baby, baby, baby, do you like it?
There you sit, sitting spare like a book on a shelf rustin',
ah, not trying to fight it.
You really don't care if they're comin'; oh, oh,
I know that it's all a state of mind.

If you go down in the streets today, baby, you better,
you better open your eyes. WOAH WOAH YEAH
Folk down there really don't care, really don't care, don't care , really don't , which, which way the pressure lies,
so I've decided what I'm gonna do now.
So I'm packing my bags for the Misty Mountains
where the spirits go now,
over the hills where the spirits fly.
I really don't know.

This analogy implies that sex is just an item of value that men want and women reluctantly give out. Women want to have sex too! The goal of seduction is not to manipulate women into having sex that they don't want to have, it's simply to become more attractive to them.

It's obvious that some PUA's are indeed sexist assholes, but the vast majority of us are just trying to improve our own social skills. How is that a bad thing?

When was your first show (or how did you get into The Dead?) by cocineroylibroin gratefuldead

[–]MistyMountainHop 0 points1 point ago

Me too! I enjoyed two phenomenal Phish shows there last August (including an unbelievable Rock and Roll -> Meatstick -> Boogie On Reggae Woman).

Some redditors introduced me to the wonderful concept of gansta Scrabble—any word is acceptable as long as you can pronounce it and use it in a sentence, but no point modifiers or bingos are used.

How sane and happy do I have to be in order to have a decent/good first trip? by Someone_Who_Isnt_Youin Drugs

[–]MistyMountainHop 6 points7 points ago

You should talk to the fine people over at /r/suicidewatch, but I would also recommend seeking out professional help. Psychedelics may help your life eventually, but you are not ready for them yet.
