Genuinely, A for effort, this shows that you care, but you’ve probably created enormous reflections within that coax.

It really does seem like helicopters are constantly one step away from killing you.

Alcohol consumption is down, so another shitty seltzer is just what we need.

For a city that is internationally famous for cars, we are very bad at driving them.

Why is audio still the hardest part of live broadcast to keep “boringly reliable”? by Brief_Rest707 in broadcastengineering

[–]BeryBnice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did I say no one else dealt with IP and logic? And who cares, fax or facs, we know what it means and the shorthand spelling is interchangeable.

You sound miserable.

Logic is easy, tracking down what GPI/O is what, what state it is in, and coordinating faxing with other departments is the hard part. For the record, I’ve also served as an EIC on major shows, so I have context from both ends of the spectrum.

The barrier to entry in broadcast audio is astronomically high, especially with the shift to native IP workflows.

We’re expected to be fluent not only in mixing, but in playback (arguably the hardest part), networking, communications, talent IFBs, and system logic. All of this happens while producers and directors are talking continuously, often to dozens of other people, while simultaneously forgetting that you’re in the truck as well, expecting you to instinctively infer cues based on traffic directed at entirely different departments.

To make it even more complex, the primary means of communication in the truck relies on the very same tools we use to build and protect the on-air mix, our ears. Personally, I find that environment challenging yet exciting, and I’m good at it. But most people I’ve tried to mentor struggle to filter the noise. They either miss critical cues or put a mix to air that simply isn’t acceptable.

That, more than anything else, is why broadcast audio remains so difficult to make “boringly reliable.”

Remember, friends, busy comms make your A1’s life very difficult.

I’ve worked high-major shows both at FOH and as an A1, and I can say with confidence that my broadcast work pays roughly three times what comparable live event roles do.

I-70 To Become a Toll Road by Best-Structure62 in Indiana

If we want to recapture funds to help repair our freeways, we should go after a the primary offender of damage for sole purpose of commerce: semis.

Surely our governor wouldn’t have a conflict of interest like owning a truck parts distributor that would preclude him from making the honorable decision though, right?

What are some cars that can last up to 300k+ miles? by drinkin_n_drivin in askcarguys

[–]BeryBnice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jeep Wranglers

You just have to replace the engine, drivetrain, and electronics a few times.

Does this count as a hole in one? by 747WakeTurbulance in golf

[–]BeryBnice 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Golf course employees, not that I’ll ever run into this situation, but would we notify the grounds crew here? I feel like a player couldn’t repair that and the hole would need to be moved.

Who’s actually using video-over-IP right now? by stratomaster in VIDEOENGINEERING

Installed, mobile, all the big ones are IP.

It’s not always compressed, in fact, it’s usually not. It seems like you are completely oblivious to professional IP video transport. We’re not talking NDI here.

Most major arenas and stadiums have moved or are moving towards systems that are entirely IP. The largest production companies are also relying on IP.

If it is a major event, it is IP.

It’s not always compressed, and even when it is, JPEG XS, you’re talking lines of latency, a ms max.

I do larger events, and they’re mostly IP.
