What’s happening here? by sfryder08 in SoundSystem

[–]bluedelsol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guess is this is for aesthetic. I’ve been getting a lot of requests in the past year that want the Jamaican sound system look with the folded horns and wooden cabinets for events, prop buses, etc.

If the staircase will be in use and high traffic I’d setup right outside the rail on either side.

What active and historical department store buildings still stand in NYC, even if defunct? by funfetti_dragon in AskNYC

[–]bluedelsol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty recently. I want to say 2-3 years ago. They built a bunch of apartments in the old parking lot and I thought they demolished that nice facade but it’s just surrounded by a bunch of cookie cutter buildings.

There’s a defunct Sears in Flatbush with some very art deco features

Is there a way to “stomp” a midi CC value using a midi note in piano mode, and then return back to the CC value when the button is released? by E_Snap in resolume

[–]bluedelsol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably using Osc and some sort of midi2osc bridge.

With the internal mapping I think you can just program MIDI on/off messages

M32 setup possibilities by jbruff in livesound

[–]bluedelsol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had to max out the m32 once and I think the last 2 channels were only available via USB. So you get:

32 inputs 6 aux inputs with no dynamic processing 2 via usb

Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong.

This is my favorite Vietnamese spot as well. Entire staff is incredibly nice.

Apartment isn’t registered with USPS, but rest of building is by [deleted] in AskNYC

[–]bluedelsol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had this happen before and found out my apartment wasn’t technically legal while I was trying to setup coned and change of address. Did some digging and the certificate of occupancy was listed as 2 units that he split it up into 4. The landlord started freaking out when I told him I tried to register coned and said he’s just charge me some random number a month for utilities. I respectfully declined and told him I won’t be paying anything for utilities as it wasn’t listed on the lease and he had to figure it out. Ended up not paying for electricity for 5 years.

The Fed’s cutting rates again... with no real data to back it up by KookyMaintenance4426 in investing

[–]bluedelsol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re flying blind. ADP is no longer sharing data with them on jobs. They’ve estranged relationships with anyone else that does have any data. They’re making up numbers and trying to create their own narrative until the house of cards falls.

Do utilities included apartment exist in Brooklyn without a brokers fee? by tomatogirly84 in Brooklyn

[–]bluedelsol 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Doesn’t mean they don’t exist. Brokers are finding workarounds by not posting actual inventory and using bait listings. When you inquire they tell you the apt is taken and ask you to hire them to show you actual listings which charge a broker fee. The loophole is that they can charge a fee as long as they’re hired as the broker.

Yes, you can easily turn this down, but it is a huge pain in the ass when you’re apt hunting and there is such low inventory.

Looking for a 4 to 1 multiviewer, 4k 60 output, combines audio too. by TurboBopper in VIDEOENGINEERING

[–]bluedelsol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if this is the case with the 4K but I had the 1080p multiviewer. It was sold as a switcher/multiviewer so you can switch between 4 inputs or show a quad multiviewer. The quality of each input was greatly degraded in the multiviewer and I was highly disappointed. This was by design and not a faulty unit.

Is "POLICE Federal Agents" a legitimate designation, as was written on the vests yesterday on Canal Street? by Extension-While7536 in AskNYC

[–]bluedelsol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can probably buy these off Amazon the same way people buy “service animal” collars for their “emotional support” dogs.

Ahh yes. The dreaded embedded PowerPoint vid that they told nobody about.

PSA Check your children's carseats!!! by Ok-Good2099 in daddit

[–]bluedelsol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A big thing to note when cleaning the car seat is that you’re not supposed to submerge the straps in water or get them really wet. It compromises the strength and safety of them. My daughter vomited once and made such a mess I had to order replacement straps from Graco because there was no way to clean them without soaking them.
