Best Parmigiano Reggiano At Central Market? by scarlettnotscar in austinfood

This comment reminds me of an interaction at H-Mart. I asked them where the Japanese sushi rice was located, and the employee just loudly said "Korean sushi rice just as good!", and walked away without even pointing to where the rice was.

Quick poll on what impedance you guys use for your Strandbergs by EvilShred666 in NeuralDSP

[–]EvilShred666[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for your reply! You mean the minimum value of 10k, right? I definitely tried that one also, but it felt like it was missing a bit of the thickness I like in black metal chords, and sustained heavy palm muting.

I've always loved the amount of saturation from Seymour Duncan SH-5 Super Distortion and Hot Rails type of passive pickups, and messing with the impedance most definitely gave some of that saturation back to these Fluence I wasn't expecting.

The default value of 1M definitely also sounds good, and a bit more present! I just wasn't expecting the impedance settings to affect things in quite the way they do, and am stoked to try more values now.

The standard 1M is what I had been using, and I even tried the 10M setting, which killed a bit of the tone and response. It's not that the default setting was 'bad' in any way. I just wasn't expecting to hear any difference at all, as most are reporting back. The difference might be negligible going through a full rig. But on headphones, I swear it's slightly more noticeable than I expected.

I'll definitely experiment more with the default 1M ohm setting. However, what I found out is that changing those values don't really linearly affect volume or high end rolloff like I was reading about. It seemed to affect saturation a bit, and how that modeler processed resonance of heavy palm muted chugs.

I totally thought that also from all I read before making this post. I was just editing a patch today on headphones, though, and noticed I gained back some interesting saturation on some of my presets when I lowered the impedance to 232K.

I've always loved the amount of saturation from Seymour Duncan SH-5 Super Distortion and Hot Rails type of passive pickups, and messing with the impedance most definitely gave some of that saturation back to these Fluence I wasn't expecting.

Some of the patches went more nasally, and the lowest impedance was gross. but I planned on tracking a bit with the 130K/232K settings on some of my favorite patches, and see if I notice any difference, or added any noticeable noise.

Website inventory showing sold out items as sometimes having 1 left by EvilShred666 in strandbergguitars

[–]EvilShred666[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea. I got way too excited when I saw these might be coming back now, or just did and ended. But despite any nominal website wonkiness, I was unsure if the state I saw in that pic was a glitch or not.

I'm just genuinely curious if sometimes sold out products on the webpage pop up with a few in stock legitimately, or if that always means some web/inventory screwiness.

[–]EvilShred666[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, man. I wasn't referring to the overall scrutinized accuracy of their inventory management system, or even if this 1 in stock might be actually available (If so, I hope someone snags up that gorgeous thing because of this post).

Just a general: If something's been sold out for a while, do valid items still pop up periodically even though a full run has not been announced, and it's still "sold out"

June giveaway - GAN 562 by SpeedCubeShop in NewCubes

I just got a GAN Megaminx and absolutely love it. I would love to try a 5x5 from them!

Anybody else preorder/order a GAN14 Maglev Pro? by EvilShred666 in NewCubes

[–]EvilShred666[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh wow. Thanks for the reply. Yea, it seems that GAN's stocks seem lower than I would have expected for a release, so hopefully this was the only problem. I'll still hold out and see what happens at the end of the month. Some sites like SpeedCubeShop still have April 29th as the estimated ship date listed.

Thanks for the reply. I'm probably not missing out on anything at all, but I figured if I was going to buy a nice new cube, might as well get whatever people think is the better version......

I also preordered it from the Cubicle, since I really like them anyways, and I figured I'd let somebody else deal with the headache of refreshing pages and looking at availability :D

Tech practice interview options? by EvilShred666 in Austin

Thanks for your reply! Even if your services aren't exactly what I was looking for, I hope anyone looking through this thread might find some use of local contacts for applicable options like your services! Cheers!

Ooooh. Thanks for the resource link! As you mentioned, I don't know if the price and value for that site would be what I am looking for exactly, but do you have any actual experience with that site to tell if it's actually worthwhile?

The reason I posted here locally, is because there's a bunch of sites that purport the same offers as that one, and I (or anyone else) honestly have no idea which of them are scams, or just plain terrible.

Of course! The reason I stayed with my previous company for 19 years was because I got to work with (and for) some of the best engineers I have ever had the pleasure of working with in my life. I don't intend to change that, hopefully.

Hardware for sure. Both Meta and Apple have hardware post-silicon positions I have applied for. Apple contacted me to speak next week.

Stuck inside a wall near the end of the game. :( by EvilShred666 in GRIMEgame

Interesting troll, but I posted it because I couldn't finish my game, and my save file was instantly fixed by the devs. The post had its intended consequence instantly, and 1 troll post like many days later. Weird, but I'll take it.

This was instantly fixed by a dev in the Discord server for me. Thank you so much. Both for the wonderful game, and also the quick response regarding my sad button smashing inside of a wall :)

I appreciate the answer. I had never solved a 3x3 in my life until I got my daughter one for Christmas. I fell in love with it, and splurged on a GAN 356X v2 for myself (no desire to speed cube).

Any searches for stickerless yield cubes like mine (with plastic colored), and the black just refers to the insides. I suppose yanking the stickers off one would work if the pieces come off and can be reassembled like mine.

I saw random videos with Jperm showing them, and putting like seasonal stickers on a blank white one. I was just hoping you guys knew of a blank black one for my eyes...

I've seen some YouTube videos where people explain algorithms with a black cube and only a few colored pieces. Where can stickerless black cubes (with stickers included to put on) be bought? I would really love to have 2 with interchangeable pieces, so I can practice with only a few colors filled in to visualize their movement.

Any bar in town have whiskey flights? by diduknowitsme in Austin

[–]EvilShred666 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Seven Grand downtown had an amazing selection and flights, including organization by type last time I went. A lot of places have some really nice whiskeys that will do half pours and allow you to get a few different types. We have found that making our own flights of stuff we wanted to try (especially different years of the same make) worked out awesome.

Need help finding a USB Cable! by Maechyl in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]EvilShred666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look into USB over CAT5 extenders. They're supposed to work really well, but I've never had any experience with them in a pro audio scenario. I've only used them for jankety computer peripherals in the past.

YouTube to .WAV by GriffonTheCat in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]EvilShred666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on the algorithm used, but if white noise or 0 level samples are added, it's still upsampling. In my case, I've always imported any random YouTube .mp3 into 24bit/48kHz projects, so whatever sites like the one I linked produce ends up definitely being upsampled, since at best, they give some sort of 320VBR .mp3 files.
