![How to handle fresh coffee beans? [Lelit Victoria Pl91t]](https://preview.redd.it/haujqewgq01h1.jpeg?auto=webp&s=d8085d6f5da476335443e428b8fb7008775297bd)
The shot took about 54 seconds to come out of the machine at the grind size I usually do for dark roast beans. It's 100% overextracted and bitter without any brightness.
Are the beans too fresh? I just bought them two days ago from a local roaster. If they are, does this affect shot times? And if so how do I get this into the range of about 40 seconds?
EDIT: These beans are light roasted beans.
Hello everyone! I don't know if this is exactly the correct subreddit, so if there's anywhere better to ask this question is love a point in the right direction.
I recently decided to stop ignoring my music major and tried recording in my room. My room isn't optimized for this but I'd personally like to think it's okay at it.
The most problematic thing I've been facing is that my vocals just don't seem to fit into the mix along with all of the digital tools I use and I'm wondering whether this is a microphone issue or just technique.
Just as the title says I use an sm58 which is great for live performance. Is it just a live performance mic or am I doing something wrong?
