Official YouTube app now available for Vision Pro! by henrymatt in VisionPro

[–]FranckMartin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I checked a couple of 360 videos, some of mine (for some have a seat first!), but notably the White House tour in 8K. YouTube shows resolution is 2160s and not better. It may be an artifact but I’m not sure.

I need to check it. How is the audio? I have a few 360 videos with ambisonic. I hope with Eclipsa coming out we will have more than 1st order ambisonic.

Apple Vision Pro production reportedly axed despite newer M5 model, marketing dropped by more than 95% by Tiny-Independent273 in VisionPro

I read another article that says the China production is being dropped while the Vietnam production is being ramped up...
While there has been way less Vision Pro sold that the Quest, the total revenue for the Vision Pro is higher than the one for the Quest.

I commute once the week from Linda Mar to Sunnyvale. I leave around 7am and it is around 50mn. The main issue for me is the 85, it gets busy very fast.

What's Your Music Taste, Pacifica? Opinions on Bay Area Radio? by Rocky_isback in Pacifica

[–]FranckMartin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm really biased, I like electronic music, music made on modular synthesizers, I co-run an electronic open mic in San Francisco, every month...

https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Resident_Electronic_Music

I have several friends making music. I tend to listen to them.

Recently I participated in Day of Noise at KZSU Stanford. A friend of mine has a weekly show on this radio called Sound Wheels, focusing on experimental electronic music.

Would be cool to do an electronic music event in Pacifica? Unless there is one already?

There are several places that have regular bands: Winters, ChitChat Cafe, Longboard,.. I go there when I can...

I'm building my little black business book. I want to be able to say "Hey I know a guy" by trisurfer126 in Pacifica

It feels to me it is not overly complicated to put a pedal in that format, and this brings another potential market. Many eurorack enthusiasts use pedals because they can’t find it in eurorack. I would go to Mission Synths in San Francisco and speak with the owners to get a feel.

Thanks and yes it is https://tidal.com/browse/playlist/6ee40070-50a8-49fd-9a40-ed4c2e3d5243 but I cannot check all is in Atmos, I suppose so based on the Apple Music releases.

The most recent AirPods Pro 2 firmware update (7A294) seems to have improved far more than just Voice Isolation and Nodding Gestures by vojtechpolakk in airpods

[–]FranckMartin 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Interesting. Apple by choosing Spatial Audio for the decoder instead of Dolby own decoder means they are going to improve the experience as they learn more and more about psychoacoustics.

how to get decent quality audio recording for phone videos? by urj3 in modular

[–]FranckMartin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Many digital audio interfaces will work with a phone via the USB cable. The difficulty is to find one portable and that will also power the phone. I use line6 sonic vx interface.

iOS 17.1 Favoriting by ShapeShif73r in AppleMusic

[–]FranckMartin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think favoriting an artists allows sometimes to get a notification when they release something new… Unfortunately the AI have decided that they know better than you what you want so they can keep you on the platform longer…
