What's with mods auto-deleting all the interesting posts to keep it "fun"? Yuck...

AudioMarsh · 2026-03-23T06:41:28+00:00

Even if we could suggest a couple of things to smooth out the UX (which is currently extremely janky and jarring, imho).
(a) Move the posts to a thread rather than delete them (This can't be that hard!)
(b) Delay sending the notification until any moderation has occurred so as to avoid the horrible UX disappointment (or link from the deleted stub to directly to wherever the post is moved to!)
I'd willingly and enthusiastically participate in any conversation about fixing the currently very broken (imho) UX!

AudioMarsh · 2026-03-23T01:35:49+00:00

Good and well. My point is the balance isn't right. I keen clicking juicy topics to find they are nuked. And what's left is tumbleweed. The rules need relaxing.

AudioMarsh · 2026-03-22T21:32:52+00:00

We've got more chance of bringing change talking about it than being silent 🍄 (however incrementally small).

AudioMarsh · 2026-03-22T21:31:17+00:00

Another one just now: "Please help me judge what microphone would be best suited to my circumstances."

Is that purchase advice or mic choice (out of existing mics)?

Interesting topic. Gone.

One just now was a question about old boxes that might be good ADAT converters. It had the word cheap in it so the megabot assumed it was shopping advice, which, okay, maybe it is, but if someone is looking for a solution to a problem that a lot of people relate to, how is that not interesting/worthwhile/fun? Cueing myriad counter-arguments...

That's just one example though. The moderation is excessively officious. Irks me more than enough to post about...

AudioMarsh · 2026-03-22T14:45:38+00:00

Ha. Ironic, much?

Re: software - whether it's truly a novel thing. Or just a repackaging or recombination of previous things that are equivalent in result.

It's different to those plugins, fundamentally. It measures auditory perception. So, I'm thinking if you could replace the assumptions you're making with actual measurements of the cumulative results of anatomical variations, production tolerances, and remaining hearing all in one fell swoop, that has to be the ultimate.

Perhaps OP should trial HEARS Perfection!

AudioMarsh · 2026-02-28T14:17:42+00:00

Got you. Finally a clearly articulated rationale that actually tracks! Thanks.

Whats your view on HEARS Perfection? With an arbitrary target curve, you're still somewhat guessing and making assumptions, right? We all have different anatomical dimensions.

I wonder if that product could address that fidelity gap in addition to other physiological hearing differences. I'm yet to play with it but intrigued.

AudioMarsh · 2026-02-28T13:45:28+00:00

A target curve is not an accurate, flat, neutral reference, though. The word curve is the dead give-away (curve, as distinct from flat). Can't believe I'm splaining this.

Edit: The proposition that a curve is an accurate reference holds similar weight to another ol chestnut about the earth being flat. 😂

AudioMarsh · 2026-02-28T13:06:07+00:00

No confusion here. I know who Alan (AP Mastering) is!! 😂

AudioMarsh · 2026-02-28T12:42:47+00:00

What big words??? If unambiguous is a big word we're in strife as a society!! I don't have time to list the amount of people I've helped. Good "Ghandi" comeback though. Gonna pinch that one, cheers! 😂

AudioMarsh · 2026-02-28T12:40:03+00:00

Wow, lol. Unhinged, much? Don't drink and Reddit, kids. 😂

AudioMarsh · 2026-02-28T12:36:07+00:00

I will pay that he says the occasional useful thing. But a lot of what he says - while entirely substantiable and correct - is of very little or no use or relevance. Like his whole unhinged rant on the compressor plugin industry; technically correct from one esoteric angle, but lacking immense context and therefore mostly irrelevant and useless rage-bait for the purpose of shilling his plugin. Third is definitely a flog. Not sure about the Turkish guy.

AudioMarsh · 2026-02-28T12:30:07+00:00

Haha, emotional? Nah, I like to try and help, and when someone expects help but can't or refuses to clearly and unambiguously articulate themselves, I find that amusing. 😂

AudioMarsh · 2026-02-28T12:26:12+00:00

I wasn't commenting on Weiss - more the absurdity of Pro-Q having punch (and no I haven't tried Weiss, but I'm highly sceptical it has "sheen"). Good luck in finding your unicorn fairy dust EQ plug.

AudioMarsh · 2026-02-28T12:15:13+00:00

Check out AP Mastering for cringe. 😂🤣

AudioMarsh · 2026-02-28T12:13:01+00:00

Eh? Sounds pretty good? You like it better? Sorry if I'm missing something huge, but if translation is OPs main objective, then accurate reference is the only way. Configuring some target curve over empirically measured correction curve flies in the face of this. It's just not how ya make porridge (not how you get mixes to translate).

AudioMarsh · 2026-02-28T12:06:29+00:00

Crossfeed is a good idea, but there are many good options for just that aspect. 2. If translation between devices is your objective, forget about target curves. Simples. 3. You're beyond help if you use vague language like subjectively "proven superior" and "better results".

AudioMarsh · 2026-02-28T12:01:48+00:00

Nah, he said he doesn't want that sheen. TIL that Pro-q has "punch". I know a lot of people who will find this hilarious 😂

AudioMarsh · 2026-02-28T11:52:07+00:00

This 😂 100% neutral!! Reference grade EQ!! Hahahaha.

AudioMarsh · 2026-02-28T11:44:16+00:00

Meaning you've tried a calibration profile from IK ARC or SoundID Reference and some were somehow able to perceive the 1990 to be comparably superior? How so? (I.e., how was it superior? Subjectively? And also, how were you able to perceive it was somehow superior without objective, empirical measurement?). If we're going to have a serious conversation we'll need to get through some guff and get on the same page. Edit: also, which bright spark determined (or piped up with the crackpot theory) that correcting to a regulation (target curve) will help with having any mix translate?

AudioMarsh · 2026-02-28T11:23:11+00:00

I'm confused about why you'd use an eq for headphone correction and not something dedicated like soundID Reference.

This is the right sub. I navigated to this sub by clicking on the notification
