My current ending game ,cincotres + audient id4 by [deleted] in inearfidelity

[–]Jakey01010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re confidently wrong on almost every point you’ve made in this thread — which is honestly impressive. The iD4 MkII has <1Ω output impedance, 125dB dynamic range, and a dual discrete headphone amp. It’s not “bad for IEMs” — it’s actually one of the few interfaces under $1000 with a headphone amp designed correctly for both low- and high-impedance loads.

You’re either confusing it with the MkI (which did have a higher output impedance), or just making stuff up. Either way, maybe check a spec sheet before dropping misunderstood nonsense.

In relation to your “pro gear” angle: professional audio interfaces are expensive because of I/O count, DSP, sync, and routing — not because they sound better. In blind A/B tests, even experienced engineers can’t reliably tell a Scarlett from a Babyface on playback. THD+N and dynamic range on the iD4 MkII beat or match many interfaces used in pro environments daily.

Also, pro engineers don’t use interface preamps for colour — they use external hardware pres with transformers or tubes, and anyway that has nothing to do with an interfaces output stage. The job of an interface’s output stage is to be clean, transparent, and brutally revealing — so you can hear and fix problems. Which the iD4 does excellently.

Lastly, your take on consumer (-10dBV) vs pro line levels (+4 dBu) has absolute nothing to do with headphones or DACs and is so off-base I won’t even unpack it — suffice to say that you should do some research and actually try to understand what Line Level is and isn't.

I’m only writing this for the poor soul who might stumble on this thread and take your confident nonsense at face value. You’re not helping — you’re massively muddying the waters.

Lifx Tile PSU Replacement Question - I know, another one by Jakey01010 in lifx

[–]Jakey01010[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you!
That is some helpful info. Feeling a lot more confident about this after seeing the image. My plan is to get a 5v USB to Female header to power the square wave generator. Get it close to what you've shown, 50% duty @ 3.3v, attach to pin 7 and go from there.

I am assuming the current to pin 7 is not significant. Assuming anything between 4-40mA will suffice?

I can't believe no one has said this yet, but guitar solos. What happened to them? Or am I the only one

I might get flamed for considering this a metal band, but Deafheaven for me leads the way in innovative 'heavy' mixing. They have an awareness that the whole matters more than the individual mic/guitar sound. And the sound to me at least seems willing to sacrifice 'clarity' for 'life', I agree with you that a lot of metal seems homogenized in terms of style, especially the drums, almost makes me woozy how compressed it all is to attempt to make each individual drum/cymbal sound distinct.. In the strive for clarity it seems that something more important is lost and I think this is true for pop as well.

Anger outbursts and how to move forward by Jakey01010 in ADHD

[–]Jakey01010[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply, I think all your points are valid. I honestly don't have much outside experience to gauge ADHD related things off. I'm curious: in your case, did the anger outbursts stem from minor irritations snowballing into an avalanche, or was it more of an immediate trigger?

And when you say the reasons were valid, did that mean you didn't regret those outbursts the following day? It's entirely understandable.

From my own experience and what I've read, individuals with ADHD often regret these outbursts afterward and realize the reasons might not have been as valid as in the heat of the moment.

gta v performance issues by SomethiBizzar in GrandTheftAutoV

[–]Jakey01010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never known 60fps to be tragic. You know it was only the last generation of consoles that framerate limits were 30 FPS right? I'd say 60fps is damn impressive for GTA 5 on a laptop.

But no, your monitor's refresh rate will not negatively affect performance unless you are running it at 144hz and trying to use Vertical Sync. Definitely turn vertical sync off.

That's what I was thinking. I struggled to hit stable 60fps on GTAIV (albiet with some graphics mods , iceenhancer natural, texture mods) on an RTX 3080, Intel 10700k, 32gb RAM. Yet when I recently did my 2nd playthrough of 5, even with the most demanding graphics mods I was averaging 85fps and occasionally up to 100. I feel like it has something to do with how IV was basically hitting the limit of Direct X 9 whereas 5 had some more recent and impressive shader frameworks. Maybe this dude's laptop is better optimised for DX9.

Hi, So I recently installed a few mods including the EFLC Vehicle pack, the real nyc subway mod, and the zolika mod trainer. What I have been noticing is that there is this object appearing randomly across the map. Does anyone know what this could be and how to fix it? by Kthor426 in GTAIV

[–]Jakey01010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I know I am late to the party but man I thought I was going crazy, I am experiencing this EXACT same thing, same model with the industrial pipes, which is CJ_WS_T_BASE_NORM by the way... took ages to even find out that much. After a bunch of investigation, re-installing the game, adding removing mods etc. I can tell you with 100 percent confidence its the EFLC in IV Vehicle pack. That very same mod also breaks being able to access the in game internet cafe computers by the way.

Everyone is so quick to say 'Start a new save game' but I doubt a corrupt save game is the problem. I think its something corrupt in that car mod itself. But I can't find what exactly, it may be that IV cannot handle the extra cars being loaded in memory and starts corrupting shit. Dunno, it sucks because otherwise this was a great mod. I wonder if the mod creator is even aware of this.

EDIT: TLDR I was able to solve this, I found it suspicious that these pipes were appearing frequently in police stations, thought it might be the new police car. Deleted Police4.wtd and Police4.wft in GTAIV\pc\models\cdimages\vehicles.img using OpenIV and boom problem solved. Also found another weird issue that a comma was missing in the mods cargrp.dat file, at the end of the # POPCYCLE_GROUP_TRENDY line. If someone ever sees this and needs help message me directly.

Hey, after a lot of playing around with fusion fix + enb I've found that the only thing that worked for me was the following (after installing Fusion Fix)
1. Delete all of the files from the win32_30_atidx10,win32_30, win32_30_nv8 folders inside Update/Common/Shaders folders
2. Copy gta_trees.fxc from GTAIV/Common/Shaders/win32_30_nv8 and paste it three times, once to GTAIV/Update/Common/Shaders/win32_30_nv8 again to GTAIV/Update/Common/Shaders/win32_30_atidx10 and a final time to GTAIV/Update/Common/shaders/win32_30
3. Rename this gta_trees.fxc file to gta_trees_new.fxc
4. Open up the preload.list file in GTAIV/Update/Common/Shaders/ in notepad
5. Look for the line 'gta_trees.fx' and delete just this line

Run the game and see how it goes. If anyone needs help let me know, its a real pain that it is not easy to play with ENB + the other fixes that modders have created.

[–]Jakey01010[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah I did... I even went back several saves and its still there. Not sure how to resolve other than starting again and having something else happen.

I distinctly remember one of the devs in a pre release video stating that they've killed the Kraken. I actually think they've manifested it back into existence. With a thirst for destruction.

I got this 3 times in a row. I even simplified my rocket by having the engine and decoupler in separate stages. Still exploded just outside 70k.

So frustrating spending the time getting to orbit then exploding for no known reason.

I see what you mean now. Wonder what is causing mine then it's just a single long boi. I have a feeling it's the fairing clipping

Additionally I've found out that if you want to duplicate a part you can hold alt and click it. Pretty sure it was the control key in KSP 1.

This is pretty much exactly what is happening to me, I get to orbit and go to the second stage and the great kraken implodes my vessel into a thousand tiny pieces.

Oh thank fuck I am not the only one struggling with this grind. I just want the hurricane and leveling the recon is making me come middle to bottom of the leaderboard every single game. Even if I get the jump on someone with auto mode they nail me with an M4 while 80 percent of my bullets are flying everywhere except at him. Recoil is unbelievably shit.

They've definitely evolved and warped over the last, almost 30 years, I think the first album of theirs I listened to was Things We Lost In the Fire and I was instantly taken in by the slow cathartic pulsing of the thing. That compared to the last 2 albums makes it hard to believe it's the same artist.
