7:30pm on New Year's Eve? An odd choice wouldn't you say?

It'd be 1:30pm New Years Day here.

 

[Chrispy]

Is 31th different from 31st? Since I'm a definite homebody on NYE, will be putting this on my calendar....

Not sure what you mean... it's at the end of Jan next year. I know we're ahead of the US, but not by that much.

The new year starts in February down under.

 

[Chrispy]

I'm operating on little sleep today, missed that January 31th.....or is that code for NYE?

 

[restorer-john]

Doh.

LOL

If it has an Open Bar could be a crowd pleaser.

 

[BlackTalon]

I believe the Zoom version may have an open bar. And it's free, too!

JANUARY 31st. That's a month later!

The new year starts in February down under.

I did not know that. Really? The timing is due to when the AES Chapter can get a room. And so many people tell me 'just get a room'.

In fact, I still don't know that.

New Year's Day 2025 in Australia

New Year's Day is on January 1 and is the first day of a new year in the Gregorian calendar, which is used in Australia and many other countries. Due to its geographical position close to the International Date Line, Australia is one of the first countries in the world to welcome the New Year.

I am hoping that a Youtube video / slides / written article will appear after the presentation. I would love to find out what you have to say, JJ. I would prefer a written article, I can absorb information at my own pace and not at yours

Like the previous one, the intention is to record the talk, so you can go back and watch it.

Awesome. Thank you for sharing this opportunity to learn new stuff j_j_. We are very fortunate to host you as out Guest here. I look forward to watching and learning more about this Science of Audio capture and reproduction. Like peeling a very large onion. With welding gloves on.

@j_j This is definitely off topic, and I say this in the most respectful way, but with that beard, you would make a great Santa.

You are not the only one to make that observation! I am, however, more prone to the evil laugh.

There, done!

But seriously, really nice. I may have a peek if I have time.

Not even close. There are more fundamental issues.

 

[voodooless]

Not even close. There are more fundamental issues.

But are they just as funny? I guess we’ll just have to find out

 

[Keith_W]

Not even close. There are more fundamental issues.

By "not even close" do you mean "inaccurate", "imprecise", or both?
