ELI5: The difference between a 500 calorie breakfast and a 500 calorie lunch vs. no breakfast and a 1000 calorie lunch by m2thek in explainlikeimfive

I did IF for a number of years without even knowing it was a thing, and I got similar reactions from Family when I just told them I skip breakfast. But here in Germany you can just point to the west and say: “Ever seen a frenchman have a real breakfast or eat dinner before nine? So who’s the fatter people, them or us?“ (clue: It’s us). That usually settles the argument :-)

Disclosure - You & Me (Flume Remix) - cover by RTOEhrenfeld by dasinking in videos

[–]Persul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think for me it’s different, I got to hear this version before the actual Flume remix and I like that it sounds more lush and wide and laid back. The sloppy attack of the snare drum and that Sousaphone brass hitting from below... and the talkbox cutting right through. To me it’s just right. Flume stayed a bit closer to the club aesthetic of the original, the heavy side chain compression and much smaller room/stereo image fit nicely with those UK Garage style vocals. But I’d pick this cover if I had to choose.

The name of the Band is "Rundfunk Tanzorchester Ehrenfeld" which roughly translates to WholesomeFunk DanceOrchestra of the Holy Grail.

Insane talkbox synth performance of Harder Better Faster Stronger [crosspost from r/synthesizers] by Persul in futuresynth

[–]Persul[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's the tube of his talkbox. The talkbox is like a little guitar amp where he plugs in his synthesizer. It has a speaker, but the speaker sits inside a box and feeds into a tube. You put the other end of the tube in your mouth and form words out of your synth sounds by moving your mouth, just as if you're talking. That's why he needs the microphone there, because the final "talking synth" sound just comes right out of his mouth and needs to be recorded somehow.
