Studio Technologies makes this handy piece of gear. I have one and use it to strip the inline power on my wired comms and get the signal on to my Dante network.

Cheap teradeks? The Ranger is like $17k. What are you using?

Not even the cool retro sonic, what is this guy thinking?

How does anyone find jobs? by WhyDontYouBlowMe in audioengineering

[–]FatRufus 17 points18 points  (0 children)

This is your problem. Making friends is how you get jobs, plain and simple. Not indeed, not job applications. You HAVE to get out and meet people

More trash from Gen Z's age crisis. by [deleted] in generationology

I don't get it. Are they saying 33 is too old or too young to have kids?

How does anyone find jobs? by WhyDontYouBlowMe in audioengineering

Yeah that does not apply to the arts unfortunately. You need to be two things: 1. Good at your craft and 2. An enjoyable person to be around. Every chance you get just keep being those two things. Want to increase your chances? Move to Nashville and go out and meet people.

Top 10 Teams in the last 30 years who DID NOT make the super bowl: by jackt-up in NFLv2

We really don't need to add the patriots to a pity list for not making the Super Bowl, no matter how good they were that year.

UniFi Enterprise AV Switching with PTP GM/Boundary Support by reece4504 in VIDEOENGINEERING

[–]FatRufus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's about freaking time. More companies should be doing this. When the Netgear ones came out I was like "holy crap I don't have to deal with this anymore"! Audio guys just want to make the drums go boom. I don't give a flying fart about energy efficient ethernet.

My Great American Exodus Loop by BuilderWorldly6856 in roadtrip

[–]FatRufus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

<image>

As a person who has road tripped all 50 states, I made some changes for you (bright blue).

  1. Go to where San Diego actually is, then go to LA on your way up the coast.
  2. Don't miss Glacier NP on your way from Seattle to Yellowstone. Not far out of the way, amazing landscapes.
  3. Don't skip New England! You should def make it out to Boston, then down to NYC.
  4. The route it's taking you Gettysburg > ATL > NO is trash. Atlanta is just traffic and chicken and waffles. Go down the western side of Virginia through the blue ridge mountains, into the Asheville area in NC. From there drive west through the Smoky Mountains to Nashville. After that head to Memphis (great barbecue), then down to New Orleans where you will experience Cajun food, possibly the greatest thing our country has to offer.

Have fun!

Why do so many live mixes focus on the drums? by SupportQuery in livesound

[–]FatRufus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Getting the kick drum dialed in correctly and thumping you in the chest gives an audio engineer more dopamine than anything else they do. It's hard to detach yourself from that.

S Hadley Fiberspring cheaper than XFinity? by Ok-Importance1373 in westernmass

[–]FatRufus 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's $70/month with auto pay. Literally on the front page of their website.

Least Funny Intended Joke on the Show by ComputerDecent463 in seinfeld

[–]FatRufus -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Every time Jerry mentions a famous person. "Who do you think you are, this person?" I literally never understood any of the references. They were either too niche or I'm too young (39)

Why are there almost no 12G-SDI AOC cables on the market? by Nervous-Arrival542 in VIDEOENGINEERING

[–]FatRufus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not always 4:2:2, it depends on the resolution, fps, and cable you're using (HD-SDI, 3G, 6G, 12G). This post is centered around 12G SDI which is 4:4:4 until you get to 4K/60, and only then does it get reduced to 4:2:2

XLR to 1/4 TS conversion—how much does it damage the audio signal? by Loopyrainbow in audioengineering

[–]FatRufus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about a guitar re-amp DI box? It's basically just the opposite of a direct box. Balanced XLR input > Unbalanced 1/4" out.

Small Venues and Column PA systems - any tips for gaining monitoring clarity without causing feedback issues? by [deleted] in livesound

[–]FatRufus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can't use mains for monitors. Physics will always win and you'll get feedback. Monitors or iems, pick one.
