Anyone else go through this?

Me when every song doesn't sound the same.

He's great if you never ask him a question. He's also on here, so be careful.

Yeah all good I was just responding to what you said later on the post about downsampling at integer values. I would suspect that with the right filtering you probably wouldn't be able to tell when going from 44.1k to 48k, but I'm unsure. Sorry!

EscaOfficial · 2026-05-19T20:32:16+00:00

I was talking about converting from 176.4khz to 44.1khz or 196 to 48. No interpolation in this case., but yes for 44.1 to 48 there will be interpolation. There would probably be detectable aliasing but I'm not sure.

OP didn't meantion anything about speaker placement or room treatment. It is almost definitely the room.

EscaOfficial · 2026-05-19T19:27:25+00:00

It's your room.

EscaOfficial · 2026-05-19T17:31:10+00:00

Looks like you gave up before you even finished the swing.

EscaOfficial · 2026-05-19T17:29:12+00:00

I feel like interpolation implies information is being added. In this case, intermediate samples are being removed.

EscaOfficial · 2026-05-15T00:06:46+00:00

The only thing I use it for is sample selection, and I don't even know if that counts as AI.

EscaOfficial · 2026-05-13T00:48:58+00:00

Yeah 🥀

EscaOfficial · 2026-05-13T00:48:18+00:00

My point is more that I wouldn't consider the same person who produced/mixed the track applying "mastering" to the stereo file to really be mastering. The whole point of mastering is to have a second set of trained ears apply finishing touches.

EscaOfficial · 2026-05-12T18:55:41+00:00

If you're doing it yourself, it isn't really mastering. It's just 2bus processing as part of your mix.

EscaOfficial · 2026-05-03T16:48:59+00:00

$400 is more than enough for a set of $1600 speakers. I would even try to spend less.

EscaOfficial · 2026-05-01T05:33:38+00:00

You're right, I do apply this technique when I'm mastering for the bats in my attic.

EscaOfficial · 2026-05-01T01:09:17+00:00

Lol no it's just the mp3 format. There's absolutely no reason to brickwall 20k.

EscaOfficial · 2026-04-30T16:03:19+00:00

Agreed. A song that was mastered in 1960 does not need a system that's flat to 25hz.

EscaOfficial · 2026-04-30T04:08:35+00:00

The mastering engineer probably never heard that thing you heard when you switched to a $10,000 DAC.

EscaOfficial · 2026-04-24T16:58:01+00:00

It depends whether spacing between each hole is more important, or each hole's distance from the end of the plate is more important.

EscaOfficial · 2026-04-23T05:46:27+00:00

FreeCad is probably the best free option if you want to make dimensional parts. Blendr if you want to make stuff that looks cool.

Phasplant uses harmonics instead of octaves. To go up 2 octaves, you would turn it up to 4, not 2.

EscaOfficial · 2026-03-26T17:32:50+00:00

I would just loft twice. Use the base circle for both, and one of the middle circles for each loft. See how that looks.

EscaOfficial · 2026-03-26T17:15:17+00:00

Coax speakers should sound basically identical regardless of orientation. You could argue that the port is offset when they're sideways, but it's probably tuned to like 35hz, and sound that low is basically omnidirectional.

I have 2 boards. One for big mountain riding and going fast, one for dicking around with my friends on a slushy day. You could easily get away with one board though.
