I Gotta Wonder About Fractal's, er, "Perception"

$4K is where the tone is.

With prices where they are these days, this isn't all that far from accurate. Deals can be had, but the $3k-$4k price range is what the $2k-$3k price range was just a few years ago.

I love cooking shows. Some of my favorite YT channels are cooking channels

My gf does too… she is a recipe type person… measures everything. Unlike me( went to culinary school out of highschool for 2 yrs) and i just cook how i cook so when i watch those shows with her like that jamie something or another with the immaculate clean kitchen in his model house with everything set up i have to laugh becsusr in the real world its just not that way.

For me; it's the same as with every other YT'r. If I dig the personality and vibe; I'll watch a few vids and see if I want to stick around. I don't do any measuring necessarily or really much cooking as I did that in a former life and have no enjoyment of it. I do like to whip a mean grilled cheese then watch a video of someone making something posh and feeling like it elevated my own dish in the process

I weigh and measure everything when cooking my recipes. There’s no other way to have consistency.

For pastries, deserts, etc., not measuring or weighing ingredients can absolutely wreck a recipe.

Thats cool… like with modeling: whatever works and helps you create. Its all good. I like watching nordic crime and any international crime series like french spiral cop series..the more gritty the better and my gf loves the rookie( yuk) and greys anatomy type fluf with woke crap… i try to waych but its so unrealistic and soapopera like.. lol.. she tries to watch my greedy crime thrillers and gets enveloped into them and actually enjoy them but kind of doesn’t admit it LOL. She thinks I’m all about blood and killing and guts but I’m not. I’m more about the process to uncover the motive and the killer in the series, the fluffy the rookie is ridiculously unrealistic . But there is a show on Max. It’s new called the pit which actually is pretty good medical show trying to get her to watch that but I do enjoy watching the cooking shows. I mean I’m not totally against them if she watches them. I watch them with her, but on my own I really have no reason to watch them, but like I said it’s all good

The best new medical show for me is St. Denis Medical. It's basically the Office in a hopsital. It's ridiculous and light certainly but it's been cracking us up!

I agree that’s true for sure with baking but I mean if I’ve done it enough for enough years I pretty much know exactly what’s needed and how much but that’s just me. For instance I buy bananas at Costco. I usually buy like two bunches. No way I finish them all so I plan on making banana bread like every week and I have a gluten-free recipe that I have created that I make it so much I know exactly what to put in and yeah I still have to measure the baking soda or the flower. I still have to use a measuring cup. I can’t just dump it in and think. Oh there’s 3 cups there , so baking it’s very specific to measure things to get the right consistency. You are correct but for making dinners I really measure stuff I put in some garlic or some onions. I just kind of like wing it because I kind of know like what’s the right amount when it comes to cooking , but baking is different. I agree.

Try THE PITT on MAX. Seems interesting for medical show. My gf liked the resident but i couldnt stand that main know it all dude that whispers when he talks and makes serious faces.

He spends time here. EDIT: But this probably isn't the best set up and I don't want him to feel baited or attacked.

I don't have an answer for why this isn't addressed here on the Fractal forum either.

My best guess is that he's decided the juice isn't worth the squeeze on current units, and he already has plans in place for next-gen (VP4 is the first baby step in that direction).

Might have touch screen enabled product line in the works that addresses a lot of things. That’s what I’d be working on anyway. And yes, I know everyone may not be onboard with that but it seems inevitable at some point… at least to me.

As i said i have gotten into other things lately like acoustics and loopers/drumpads and hsce been spending $$$ there but still consider a new modeler when it strikes me . I hate watching cooking shows as they are like all tv: scripted and phoney . And i cook everyday and have been into cooking since i was a kid i mean its survival to cook and its really not that hard to do.
As I’ve said many times I was jazzed for the TMP when it came out because of the gui but after using it its a waste of space and the pathetic minimalist amps and effects in it dont warrent my $ .
The hr gui i like but not the tones. Fractal guts interest me most but the gui stops me. Of well i am in no hurry as my old tech and my current meeds are good for me now in that area.
I am kindof done with acoustics aftet my yamaha tag3c arrives

Check out Hotone. It might be up you alley. Otherwise I’m gonna bust ‘em!

I’ve considered the hot one/ mooer stuff but personally would rather put my money into a larger more inclusive company unit like fractal

I don't regularly watch food shows/videos but I do like that Food Wishes channel. A friend turned me onto that a few years ago.

Also, this is the only forum where I regularly have to scroll back to the top to figure out/remember what the thread title is.

I like watching anything on pizza. I dig Matty Mattheson (who should annoy me a bazillion times more than he does), Men With The Pots for some ASMR cooking, Sip and Fest, Mr. Make It Happen. Some of the hokey Babish stuff is good. I don't do Good Mythical Morning or anything cooking adjacent, generally speaking.

Barstool?

I can't do Babish. He thinks he is funnier and way more snarky than he actually is.

Matty is a legend! In person he would annoy the F out of me. On screen I laugh,
but he ain't making me obese like he wants to.

Heat Eaters is my current fave.

Anything Bourdain and I am in--even if I have already seen it multiple times.

Travel + Food + Culture + History = Win for me! Could watch stuff like that
all damn day long. Which I occasionally do.

So I never watch Matty Mattheson but one of his videos came across today and I was dying laughing. He was making something he called dog food? And he just rambled for half the video whatever random crap came into his mind.
