    Recommendations for Music Production PC

    They will just stop security updates in october of this year. LTSC will offer security updates until 2028. Since CPU model naming schemes are a mess these days, I just resort to passmark's benchmark lists to make decisions. My personal benchmark minimum is 30,000 multicore and 3000 single...

    Recommendations for Music Production PC

    Just get more ram and change over to windows 10 LTSC (see video below). If you can't get a license and end up on windows 11, run the debloat tool by chris titus tech to trim the fat of windows 11. By today's standards, the i5-9500 is a bit dated, but if you render demanding synths to a dry PCM...

    Tips on removing JBL Studio 590 waveguide

    Hello, That's correct. Look at the attached photo. It's some sort of mastic compound or double sided tape. I had to use a heat gun, and from what I recall, I heated the perimeter and shimmed and pried the bottom center of the wave guide slowly until the adhesive released. Taking it slow and...

    AP Mastering: "Nyquist theorem debunked: why 44.1kHz sounds bad"

    I'm a Fl studio user, and I saw that video too. I swear it's just ragebait calling it by the old name of "Fruity Loops". He insisted that no one does mixing and mastering with FL Studio "just because" the pro's don't. Totally stupid conclusion. It's not like ever DAW these days doesn't mix at...

    AP Mastering: "Nyquist theorem debunked: why 44.1kHz sounds bad"

    I can also say that it's important to not rest on ones laurels as the common saying goes. I look at it like a fun challenge or exercise. Not an argument, but a game. I get really excited by the idea of debunking something like these videos with experiments and objective data/visuals. I think...

    AP Mastering: "Nyquist theorem debunked: why 44.1kHz sounds bad"

    Awe. Cmon guys. I know somewhere in there you get at least a small kick out of these videos. Sometimes we all need to go to the zoo to watch the primates to realize where we're at. I'm just bringing a bit of that zoo into the doors of ASR. :D

    AP Mastering: "Nyquist theorem debunked: why 44.1kHz sounds bad"

    I would imagine this very common with any sort of live recording, especially orchestration. I wonder how many mics they use on those John William recordings. It's gotta be a nightmare to deal with.

    AP Mastering: "Nyquist theorem debunked: why 44.1kHz sounds bad"

    Right! Thanks for adding. Yeah. Another day, another troll. I just feel that he's almost begging for @amirm to make a video with actual repeatable and objective proof against everything he has said. We could even do some simple nulling experiments to prove everything pretty easily.

    AP Mastering: "Nyquist theorem debunked: why 44.1kHz sounds bad"

    I just saw this suggested video on youtube from the channel AP mastering. I shouldn't be surprised as he put out another video where he was highly critical of some of ASR's highest rated speakers and saying that one of those terrible single driver monitors are great while ignoring multi-tone...

    Denon AVR-X3700H AVR Review

    The Denon AVR-X3700H has two different DACs (Digital-to-Analog Converters) separated by manufacturing dates. According to the reviews and discussions, the DACs are: AKM (Asahi Kasei Microdevices) DAC for models with serial numbers below 70001. TI (Texas Instruments) DAC (specifically, the...

    "Testing" Qobuz vs Amazon Music HD vs Spotify Premium vs Youtube Music Premium vs Youtube video vs CD

    If you click the stats for nerds on that video, you get: Codecs : av01.0.08M.08 (399) / opus (251) If you play the song in the youtube music client, you get: Codecs : 0 / mp4a.40.2 (141) Opus, unfortunately, maxxes out at 160Kbit on youtube, and the "higher quality" bitrates of 256Kbit is used...

    How to define where music goes on a PA system

    Since it's a commercial 70V system, everything is usually just a bunch of speakers in parallel, and to send it to different zones means to separate the parallel run between the zone with music and the receptionist. You just need to get a multi zone commercial amp. A few keywords for what...

    Run sub correction before running Dirac ?

    That's a tough question that may only be verifiable if you check the results with REW and a UMIK. Possible Pro: The sub's internal limiter will be aware of the correction, this means that it can better handle large dB swings. This is what I'd do though. Possible Con: Unlikely, but the phase...

    Bare wire to screw terminal connection?

    I cant see any tinning as well. This is usually an issue when no flux is used. Rosin core solder or flux paste works well. Though. I would re-strip it and use some fork terminals without any solder if it were my setup. Soldering:

    heart condition

    Sorry to hear about your health scares. This looks like Afib and severe hypokalemia (very low potassium). Did they tell you anything at the hospital? They gave you a sodium drip in one of the videos, but potassium seems to be the issue. If I was in your spot, I'd start by upping my potassium...
