“it’s not my responsibility to educate you, just google it” has never been a reasonable stance. not in the age of filter bubbles, and not in the age of search engines giving up the seo cat and mouse game in favor of even less reliable LLMs. sure, i get it, it’s not your paid job to educate. but if you’re constantly talking about something and people are asking for more info, maybe write a blog post or something pointing to resources like books/videos/etc instead of yelling at people
@aral as far as i know, @MonaApp, which is so stable and good that it’s mind-boggling that it’s still in beta, can do this. it can also load an entire profile and its latest posts from the source server
@Techronic9876@thomasfuchs counterpoint: mastering good code design technique and optimizing software to be leaner and faster also saves time and allows for more time to be creative
@inthehands@conniptions@mekkaokereke yep, that makes a lot of sense. but i think distributing the end result at anything higher than approximately cd quality is just kind of a waste of bandwidth
@inthehands@conniptions@mekkaokereke just so i understand what you’re saying, for instance: 24/96 would be useful for mixing and mastering, and then only at the final bounce step would it be wise to bounce to 16/44.1? i would tend to agree, since in the daw, one is constantly fiddling with levels, effects, panning, and even slowing/speeding, operations that would require higher precision than the end listener
@inthehands@conniptions@mekkaokereke yes, exactly this. listening to digital masters that weren’t subject to the loudness wars (for instance, mfsl) is a very good experience, often sounding as good or better than vinyl. streaming services’ lufs-based loudness leveling renders the loudness wars moot, and people listen in noise canceling headphones, so these days, music tends to be mastered with much less of that horrible compression
@inthehands@conniptions@mekkaokereke and due to the fact that cd quality audio is outside the bounds of human hearing, we’ll never actually notice that quantization noise. 16-bit audio has a 96dB dynamic range (well enough to blow your eardrums out), and 44.1kHz accounts for nyquist-shannon at the maximum of human hearing plus a bit for the high pass rolloff at the top. audiophiles who claim otherwise are victims of pseudoscience and placebo marketing
@mimsical@amyhoy it sounds like they pump and dumped their own bank. see: greg becker sitting on the fed, greg becker calling for those looser regulations, greg becker cashing out days beforehand
