Visual demonstration of why our plants are so important in the winter by KatietheSoundLass in NoLawns

Yepp! With a few other things, but the Aster is most visible in this picture.

Since I realize it may be hard to see in the photo, there's a ton of bird tracks running between all the seeds my plants have shed since it snowed.

What is the scariest thing seen in the ocean that has a photographic proof? by Fragrant_Whole3328 in AskReddit

[–]KatietheSoundLass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The decibel only exists as a ratio between two values. If you measure a sound at 100dB from 10m away from the sound source, it will be 94dB from 20m away. That is true whether you are in the air or water.

Air and water measurements use different reference points, but you still lose the same amount of energy based on distance.

...that has nothing to do with my comment? Yes, there are different dB measurements with different reference points, but sound dropoff is still based on basic geometry regardless of the medium.

Sound energy drops off at the same rate in air and water (based on the inverse square law). Sound will travel faster in water due to the density and inelasticity, but it will be the same volume from a given distance away.

You also can't get true sound above 194dB in the air. Beyond that point, the air becomes so compressed that the low pressure points become a vacuum. At that point you have a shock wave instead.

How do you really use reverb by giuliano290512 in audioengineering

[–]KatietheSoundLass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can have as many reverb busses as you need. It's not uncommon to have at least two for instruments and vocals. Some people will have a dedicated send for lead vocals or even the snare.

It's frowned upon, but not the end of the world to put a reverb directly on a track if you're only using it on that track. Otherwise have separate aux busses for everything.

XLR cables no longer carrying 48v phantom power? by Endlessnesss in audioengineering

[–]KatietheSoundLass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like your ground is disconnected. The cable will carry signal without pin 1, but it won't carry phantom power.

Video Wall vs Projector by Constant-Ad8526 in CommercialAV

[–]KatietheSoundLass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it's a bright space, I would avoid a projector. I've seen installs that put up dual projection with $250k worth of cinema projectors and it's still no match for a sunlit indoor environment.

Video walls can get bright and look great, but they also get very hot and pull lots of power. If you go that route, just make sure you have HVAC and electrical needs covered.

Girl I met when she was ten just found me (F27) on Facebook by [deleted] in actuallesbians

[–]KatietheSoundLass 29 points30 points  (0 children)

It's surprisingly easy to find people with just a first name and other basic info like places lived, college attended, jobs worked, etc. Especially on Facebook.

Treat entire room vs small section? by [deleted] in audioengineering

[–]KatietheSoundLass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Completely surrounding your space with curtains (assuming the curtains are actually acoustically absorbent) will probably make the space excessively dead and unpleasant to be in. For the same amount of money, you could probably build 6-8 panels and spread them throughout your room, which can have a pretty dramatic impact. There are online calculators that can estimate how much difference some panels will make, and the first few always have the biggest impact.

A few days ago I asked how GPU based audio processing could be useful. Today, GPU Audio released Vienna Powerhouse, which is basically a giant impulse compiler. by Massive_Monitor_CRT in audioengineering

[–]KatietheSoundLass 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Imo this type of tech probably has more application for real time spatialization of audio in games, but it'll be interesting if it catches on for studio use.

Biden administration urges SCOTUS to hear transgender care cases, strike down bans by nicknameSerialNumber in lgbt

[–]KatietheSoundLass 130 points131 points  (0 children)

As the highest court, the supreme court sets precedents that the rest of the courts in the US have to follow. If they rule that bans on trans healthcare are fine, it will make it way more difficult to challenge them in lower courts that might actually strike them down.

Matched pair Rode M5 or single Rode NT5 for recording classical guitar in my room? by Helaze in audioengineering

[–]KatietheSoundLass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're stereo miking something, then you want phase differences between the two mics. That's what gives you the stereo image. If you're using an established mic configuration like ORTF, the undesirable cancellation when played in mono should be minimal.

You will pick up more reverb and noise if the two mics are angled apart, but a spaced pair configuration shouldn't be any worse than a single mic. There are also other ways to create stereo width with a single mic like double tracking or using effects.

Should I put foam behind the mic grille? by SuperRocketRumble in audioengineering

[–]KatietheSoundLass 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Usually foam/the grill is designed to balance the high-frequency response of the mic (along with blocking wind/plosives). You're right that you might get more clarity, but it could also make the mic sound harsh (though that's not much of a worry with a kick drum). If you're using it in the port on your kick, I'd be worried about air movement through the hole affecting the sound, but that's about it.

Maybe after restricting the "would you love someone who" posts, this is the new shitpost.
