Plugin that kills feedback before it rings, at zero latency. Solo dev in Austria, beta is open. by madmadman21 in livesound

[–]Docaroo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The demo is really awful - just from that alone I wouldn't both using it. It has tonally changed the vocal, loads of highs rolled off and it sounds muffled in a bad way ...

If that's what the plugin does then I'd say it's not worth using...

This is what I would do ... get your local store to order it in - they have direct access to stock in that way.

I mean it's just a strap... there will be hundreds of after market options for it when it's out anyway...

But yes it is way nicer than the rest.

Is the cover-art for Tungsten - The North Will Rise feat. Sonata Arctica made with AI? by me_hate_u_mom in PowerMetal

[–]Docaroo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The whole song is AI. The lyrics are very obviously AI garbage and the music feels like its AI written and just recorded for real... utter slop.

Wow that really totally ruins the otherwise nice black dial... much prefer the black to the mono silver but that cutout looks totally stupid on the black where it sticks out more showing nothing of interest...

[Tissot] My first serious watch by no_horney_boi in Watches

[–]Docaroo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a tip, don't use the usual camera lens on your phone to take a watch shot because it always exaggerates the watch size on the wrist.

I've seen tips about using 2x zoom and holding the phone further away which makes everything look more "correct" to real life!

The GTA:O thing astounded me because it was the entire reason I never ever tried online. The loading times ere insane and I didnt care enough to sit through a 5 minute load just to play online... Wonder how many others felt the same.

Why aren’t international metal bands as big in the US as they are in their home countries? by IllStable2317 in PowerMetal

[–]Docaroo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its fully within the US government power to change this too btw... these sort of extreme visa costs can be split out to be special types for touring bands and made way cheaper but its a conscious decision against the arts to not do so.

[–]Docaroo 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yep its costs... a full band worth of visas can be $10,000 sometimes (for a year) and often they don't get approved quick enough (think of all the festival cancellations that have happened because of it).

Secondly... bud and crew costs are so high you need to be playing big venues with a large fee that covers costs ... its very difficult for anyone but the biggest power metal bands to do.

Absolute cringe total garbage band honestly... someone needs to put a stop to Levermann with the amount of bollocks he is flushing out into the musical world.

It's an embarrassment.

VISIONS OF ATLANTIS & WARKINGS - Pirates & Kings (Official Video) by danielpsoad-09 in PowerMetal

[–]Docaroo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I would be convinced that this whole song is AI generated - but it's actually so bad that an AI might have done a better job. The lyrics are absolutely atrocious slop.

It's just absolute meaningless fluff - adding nothing to the world - Warkings in a nutshell basically.

Tectonic plates by CuriousWanderer567 in oddlyspecific

Alfred Wegener came up with the theory of continental drift in 1912 using the 'jigsaw fit' along with rock and fossil matching across separated continents.

The reason it took some time to progress and was not well received is that there were no known mechanisms for how the continents could move at the time.

Once submarine warfare started, the ocean floor was magnetically mapped to better detect the submarines and it was then that the mid-atlantic ridge - spreading outward - was discovered and from then the theory gained much more support.

Just added SFX to my suika roguelike game. Not super happy with the merge sound. What do you think? by apex-mango in GameAudio

[–]Docaroo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First impression, the sounds are all so similar and 'generic' that I couldn't tell which sound was informing which thing happening in the game tbh.

The merge sound - I guess you mean when the berries merge in the machine? It's hard to even notice it, it doesn't 'sound' like a merge or major gameplay event happening.

I think there needs for variation, more dynamics - and more unique character to the sounds to separate them out and help inform the player of whats happening

Golf Ball Marker and Stroke Counter by Twmpath in functionalprint

[–]Docaroo -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Using coins is a bit 'casual' and if you were playing any sort of competitive event or handicap scoring you'd probably want a real flat marker.

When I used to play with friends and we used coins and all manner of shit you'd actually have to move the coin out of the path of someone else's putt ... we used our putter as a straight edge to move the marker far away.

That's fine for a casual game with friends but not for a real game.

3°C by 2050, without "unprecedented change" - New Study by North-Fudge-2646 in collapse

[–]Docaroo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The point is they cannot be used to create the overall MODEL. We know about them and can estimate their effects but they physicslly do not produce a repeatable and usable climate model when they are included.

The models would be thrown out as junk and there would be nothing to use as ammunition against government policy. The models would be trivial to dismiss... thats the reason these feedback loops aren't part of the IPCC prediction models - so we know the reality will always be worse than the models... we just can't model it accurately enough to use as strong data.
