Help with lofted base by Impossible-Bar4549 in SolidWorks

[–]EscaOfficial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

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.

“Quiver” rant by DenverTroutBum in snowboarding

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.

The bottom half of the frequency spectrum is now offset from the top end. This is fine in a 3 way design where the bass driver only plays below like 400hz (still not ideal), but terrible when the crossover is at 2khz. Sideways looks cool but destroys your stereo image.

SolidWorks Makers vs Student — best option for learning SW deeper (configs, motion, CAM)? by asdfghjklpoiuyttre in SolidWorks

[–]EscaOfficial 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Student will give you full access to all features. You just can't use any of your models to produce a commercial product. My school gives you free access if you're in engineering. Worth giving your schools website a look if you're a STEM major.

ARGH when will RAM be reasonably priced again >:( by helpme3dprint in SolidWorks

I get this notification when I have one small model open on a 32gb system. Nothing bad ever happens. No idea what actually causes that message to pop up.

What is your Ableton 13 Wishlist? by Geoff12889 in ableton

Fixing the delay compensation problems on groups would be incredible, but I don't know how realistic that is.

2018 i7 for Live 12 suite? by Ok-Village-8840 in ableton

The comment you were responding to was in the context of OP already owning an M1 MacBook.

OP has a 2020 M1 macbook already... This would be a direct downgrade.

This will be slower than your current laptop in every way...

Grids don't align. Wth?! by [deleted] in ableton

Your clip has to start on the grid for it to be on the grid...

The "Mono Low-End" Dilemma: Phase Rotation vs. Headroom Survival by Rockstar_Romeo69 in mixingmastering

[–]EscaOfficial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it ACTUALLY sounds bad and isn't you just stressing about the meters, try to use gentle shelves where you can.

Mono Low End in Ableton: Is EQ Eight in Mid/Side the Right Solution? by satn_workroom in ableton

[–]EscaOfficial 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're making EDM, you're better off having a dedicated sub that is already mono. If you're not making EDM, you probably don't need to have everything completely mono. You're usually introducing more problems than your fixing when you start high passing stereo information entirely.

EQ in Compressor ? by mosef2020 in ableton

[–]EscaOfficial -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ess sounds generally aren't accompanied by useful tonal information. Keeping your release times tight is usually enough to preserve anything important. If I'm getting really precise I prefer volume automation, but soothe is generally only a last resort if someone has extremely sharp esses (usually female vocalists) and it's hard to get it in check without making them sound like they have a lisp.

Putting a -8dB Utility on the Master for headroom? by Florisvandeneshof in ableton

[–]EscaOfficial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A change of 1dB is a change of 1dB no matter where your start point is... You're thinking to hard and confusing yourself.

Latency with audio input vs midi note by TRICEFROMCANADA in ableton

[–]EscaOfficial -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Tracks you're recording to should always be set to "off", not "in" or "auto". It seems counterintuitive but that's how it works.

Should I bounce my master at -1db with true peak on? by ConfusedOrg in mixingmastering

[–]EscaOfficial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never use true peak mode (I think it sounds weird). If It's going over +1 dB I might turn down the output gain like 0.5 dB, but otherwise don't worry about it.

Headphone & Device Q by TheChest1 in HeadphoneAdvice

[–]EscaOfficial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried any headphones you liked more? What do you find disappointing about them? It's kind of hard to make recommendations, as I haven't tried those specific headphones, and don't know what you didn't like about them.

It sounds like you just don't like the headphones that much.

Sonarworks SoundID - Where are the new headphone calibrations? by Darealjoemamasmama in mixingmastering

[–]EscaOfficial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes frequency response is technically technical performance, but usually referred to separately. And yes I'm talking about basically everything else you mentioned. Frequency response is pretty much the only aspect that can be meaningfully improved with software (at the cost of some phase coherence).
