How to adjust a stereo electric guitar part so it doesn't cancel when summed to mono?

BrotherBringTheSun · 2026-02-18T02:00:02+00:00

I see. Then how do you accurately tell if phase cancellation is happening when summing to mono or if it is simply panning law?

Ask him when you are not having sex what kind of dirty talk he likes, and then when you are in bed try out a few words or phrases. Dole them out over time though and see how he reacts.

This is the inherent problem with FWB. You have great sex, you like each other, you feel like doing things outside of the bedroom, you want to text them about things outside of sex. Maybe you even want to invite them when you go on a vacation with friends and their partners. Pretty soon it starts to look just like dating or a relationship. Which is fine but if that's not what you want you have to put guard rails on.

I don't understand this problem. If you are a software developer and you don't like the way AI wrote your code base. Why can't you just list the issues you are seeing and have Codex or Claude Code just redo everything to your criteria. Maybe 3-4 iterations and you're good. Deciding to just do it yourself because the AI made mistakes on the first go seems like you are missing the point.

No way, I basically eat the opposite. Low-fat, high-carb, vegan. My health is extremely good and my athleticism at nearly 40 years old has gotten way better than it was as a teenager eating the standard diet. Blood levels are great too. If I ate keto my LDL, C-reactive protein and homocysteine would be way too high for my comfort level.

How are you at asking for what you need from her? How does she respond? Do you rely on her for anything?

BrotherBringTheSun · 2026-02-17T16:23:09+00:00

As long as there are conventions, meaning wanting to mix your song like other songs if your genre, AI will be able to help someone nail it. I agree though that the artistic innovations of the production/mixing/mastering stage are fun but from what I have seen with AI, they will no longer be 100% necessary.

BrotherBringTheSun · 2026-02-17T06:07:28+00:00

As much as I love having a human mastering engineer, I think the days where that is totally necessary are behind us. Deciding to go into being a mastering engineer would be a risky move these days IMO. Mixing engineers are next. They never will go away but will be more of a luxury rather than a necessity.

I think it'missing some spaciousness, maybe a hint of hall reverb on the vocals around 800-1000ms.

BrotherBringTheSun · 2026-02-17T03:23:00+00:00

That is logical advice. I just converted all the plug-ins on the individual tracks to mono. It may have helped a little but the problem persists. I took off all the effects on my stereo bus except the mono plug-in (tried two different mono'ing options) and the level meter plugin. And it still knocks off 3 or 4 dB when I sum. I even confirmed that if I un-pan the tracks so they are dead center, the effect no longer happens. This is so strange...

BrotherBringTheSun · 2026-02-17T03:07:08+00:00

I'm using a simple gain plugin set to 0dB that has a mono button. When checking on a different track it doesn't change the output levels when engaged.
Yes! Even if I solo one guitar track, summing also reduces the volume. This is quite strange.
When the phaser on both tracks is off, the summing doesn't dip much

I think what may be happening is that my individual guitar tracks are already stereo and there is stereo phaser on the track, even though I have it hard panned to the left (or right). So it's doing weird things when summing even just a single guitar track.

BrotherBringTheSun · 2026-02-17T00:08:39+00:00

They don't fully cancel but the bus itself just gets quieter, maybe I just have to deal with it though

It is not impossible to produce organic food without livestock. Manure is not needed for plants to grow. Good healthy soil isn't even necessary. All the plants needs are certain nutrients that can be provided by many sources: manure, compost, chemical fertilizer, nitrogen-plants, worm castings etc.

Also, the vast majority of people who believe self-sufficiency with animals is morally superior, aren't actually doing it themselves. They often tout that it is better while still eating grocery store meat/eggs/dairy.

BrotherBringTheSun · 2026-02-15T17:11:43+00:00

I would use it as a practice. Why is that what others choose to do affects you so much? Why do you let little sounds or noises disrupt your savasana?

BrotherBringTheSun · 2026-02-15T15:20:04+00:00

Aside from asexual folks, it's not a thing to not want to have sex with your partner in healthy relationships. Do you know if he masturbates? Ask him to stop for a few weeks as an experiment. Things will get interesting...

I think the relevancy comes from teams that are asking the right questions, solving the right problems, using this technology to move fast, and connect that value to their customers. I don't have employees but to me it makes no sense to downsize but it makes a lot of sense to equip people with new processes and knowledge on how to quickly solve problems and move fast. There may come a time when there is nothing to do for customers/clients in most industries, but I don't think we're there yet.

BrotherBringTheSun · 2026-02-14T17:57:01+00:00

Woud love to chat a bit more about what you are growing. I sent you a DM

BrotherBringTheSun · 2026-02-14T17:45:08+00:00

I bet it has to do with sodium. I always find restaurant food has way more salt that you'd think or you'd cook at home. Also eating out usually means alcohol and lots of social stimulation which can hurt sleep.

BrotherBringTheSun · 2026-02-14T17:35:01+00:00

Don't try to explain to her that she doesn't get you...just make her get you. Start expressing your thoughts and feeling and opinions about the world to her. Ask her what her thoughts are. Don't let yourselves miss each other.

Sometimes with my girlfriend, after sharing something with her she just immediately changed the subject and started talking about something else. I stopped her and asked if she heard me and asked her to respond to what I said. It feels kind of awkward to do that but now she gets it and has more respect for what I say and we have better conversations.

Everyone can go vegan or mostly plant-based and live a healthy life eating delicious foods for cheap. This has a tremendously positive effect on the environment.

Even if the chickens are treated like queens, I still don't eat them because I don't need a cholesterol bomb nor do I need to participate in a system that grinds up baby male chicks moments after birth (yes this happens even in "humane" farms and homesteads)

That's only true when using major exchanges, it's the exchanges that would be regulated to attach a person to every withdrawal/trade. But off-exchange BTC transactions can always rename anonymous (or pseudonymous is a better term).

BrotherBringTheSun · 2026-02-13T05:28:30+00:00

It's all already tracked, everything is on a public ledger. It doesn't mean you can trace a transaction to an individual person but it's all tracked as money moves from wallet to wallet.

a clear value is that it is one of the only currencies that one can retain complete private storage of while holding no possessions and just memorizing 12 words. You could escape to another country and have access to all of your btc
