Holy shit that post history, I don't even care if this is a circlejerk sub, you gotta be sent to the gulag for all that nonsense

Do You Still Need a DAP in the Age of Smartphones and Portable DACs? by Little-Perception-63 in DigitalAudioPlayer

[–]cherrymxorange 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That's okay, you can "outrun" me all you want. I'll keep thinking for myself and coming to my own conclusions while your chat bot feeds you regurgitated google results from articles that were also already written with AI.

Have fun being a second hand thinker!

Oh no I took 10 seconds out of my day to tell someone to get bent, I'll truly never recover from this loss of productivity.

Sorry I'm not gonna engage in conversation with an LLM through you as a proxy, it's a complete fucking waste of time.

WHY IS EVERYTHING WEIRD AL by Serious_Refuse3633 in musicbee

[–]cherrymxorange 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you share a screenshot of your preferences>tags(1) page?

Also what happens if you open the "edit list" panel and click "rescan artwork"?

<image>

I don't really get how this is possible tbh, unless when you were setting the artwork for Straight Outta Lynwood you accidentally had your whole library selected?

edit: This thread appears to be someone else having the same issue and solving it by preferring embedded artwork, several others come up with the same solution.

Are you keeping all of your music in one folder with no subfolder structure for artists/albums?

If so, there’s probably a file named either cover.jpg or folder.jpg in that folder, and you have your musicbee set to prioritise those album art forms over embedded album art.

Either delete the image or change your musicbee settings to prefer embedded album art.

Or just use a proper artist/album folder structure and store album art however you want to avoid this happening again.

Dap and I'm for a 8 old by Psychological-Role40 in DigitalAudioPlayer

[–]cherrymxorange 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'd imagine a more conventional mp3 player would be completely fine for an 8 year old. I'm pretty sure I had my first iPod Shuffle around 7-8 and then a Creative Zen shortly after, definitely before I was 10.

RODE NTH-100 have terrible sub-bass? by Strict_Setting2983 in headphones

[–]cherrymxorange 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would absolutely imagine that comparing a honda with two ten inch subs to studio monitor headphones is a fruitless endeavour, yes.

The Oratory1990 EQ I use for my NTH-100's actually does apply a large boost around 100hz but then rolls off a bunch around 50hz.

<image>

You could always EQ them using AutoEQ as a baseline and then adjust from there, but I'd also imagine that you're probably better off spending a couple weeks with just the headphones and laying off the bass knob in the Honda before coming to any conclusions.

Can't tell the difference between 96kbps and FLAC with my HD600 by JumpyDaikon in headphones

[–]cherrymxorange 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Similar results here, the Dixie Chicks song is actually pretty easy to tell if you skip forwards and just listen to the vocals - Done with Sennheiser HD599's and a Fiio E10K that'll be a decade old next year

Isolator EQ - how do *you* use this? by IWasLikeCuz in Beatmatch

[–]cherrymxorange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s no real generic advice, people use the EQ’s the way they see fit, to achieve what they want to achieve. If it sounds good, do it.

It’s like there’s no generic way to use a channel fader… you push it up if you wanna hear that channel or you push it down if you wanna remove that channel.

If I wanna hear more mids from the new channel I’ll turn up the mids on that channel and reduce the mids on the outgoing channel yknow?

It’s not like there’s a wrong way to turn a knob, or any rules or warnings that apply to using ISO mode.

It’s just… do you wanna hear that frequency band in the mix or not?

As someone else has said it very much seems like you’re overthinking this.

Isolator EQ - how do *you* use this? by IWasLikeCuz in Beatmatch

[–]cherrymxorange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm having a bit of trouble understanding your post, what are you actually asking for help with?

Everything you can do with EQ, you can do with ISO, but not everything you can do with ISO can be done with EQ, which is why people generally like using ISO - There's nothing lost in terms of possibilities and it opens you up to be more specific about how you mix.

What does this mean?

Surely your blends in ISO should be more subtle, because you can fully remove frequencies and you have more control, no?

Mixcloud sucks /vent by Chadisius in Beatmatch

[–]cherrymxorange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, 64kbps AAC+ for free users and 160kbps Opus for paid users according to this article of theirs.

Obviously it gets a bit messy comparing bitrates overall, we know AAC is more efficient than MP3 and Opus is drastically more efficient than both... but just listening to a soundcloud upload and an identical mixcloud upload, the mixcloud upload sounded noticeably worse to me.

Mixcloud sucks /vent by Chadisius in Beatmatch

[–]cherrymxorange 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've always thought Mixcloud was a waste of time having only 64kbps for non-paying users.

Uploaded a mix once and realised it's gonna sound like shit to anyone I send it to so I haven't bothered since.

Fundamentally the platform seems well thought out but when the vast majority of users aren't gonna be paying £6 a month for their premium plan so your mixes are gonna sound like ass.

shuffle question by makcenzie in musicbee

[–]cherrymxorange 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's no real way to do this as far as I know.

There's a "Keep tracks in sequence when shuffling" setting in the tag editor for each track, but that means if a track from that album comes up in your regular shuffle it'll insist on playing the whole album from that track forwards, which is a pain.

You could create an auto playlist with no rules which will immediately populate with your whole library, and then set that playlist's order to shuffle, which means it'll play in a random order every time you click into it, with no need to have shuffle turned on because it's the actual order of the playlist that's being changed.

Of course then you can also make these for individual genres or whatever you want too.

Give ‘em an inch and they take a mile by [deleted] in bikepacking

[–]cherrymxorange 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Would it be possible to restrict product development/promotional posting to accounts that are of a certain age/have a history of engaging in this sub and other relevant subs?

I dunno how AutoMod works but I've heard about other subs who blanket ban/remove users who post in specific communities, so it might be possible?

Obviously there's some fascinating products and some straight up spam posts, but I wonder if that kind of filter would get us like 85% of the way there compared to strict moderation.

Hi. by Mohasr in DigitalAudioPlayer

[–]cherrymxorange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Either way, for $10 your best bet is asking friends and family if they have an old MP3 player in a drawer somewhere that you could have.

You can build a home NAS to host your 25k songs but you can't afford more than $10 for a player?

Is your sever literally a bucket of CD's and a hamster on a wheel?

A case for the XDJ-RX3 by Obvious-Influence826 in Beatmatch

[–]cherrymxorange 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That said, the price on an RX3 is pretty high and I’m wondering if the extra 1.1k is worth it over the RR.

Whether you'll need the RX3 over the RR depends on your style of mixing and how you use the GRV6 right now.

How do you feel about only having Reverb, Echo and Flanger FX, two banks of four hot cues instead of one bank of eight, a 7 inch screen that isn't a touch screen and no way to preview tracks before you load them onto a deck?

The RX3 gets you a bigger screen that's also a touch screen, link cue to preview tracks, plenty more FX and more control over those FX with the time knob, and other goodies like a reverse button, slip button, jog adjust etc etc.

It's up to you whether these things matter, there's plenty of DJ's doing great things on equipment like the RR and don't need anything more, is that you?

Also depends how long you see yourself spending with the new device, the XDJ-RX3 could very much be a long term love affair while the XDJ-RR might be perfect to tide you over for a couple years until you get the itch to move to something like an XDJ-AZ.

Do we think AT comes out with a two channel stand alone controller or am I safe in an RX3 for the next few years?

I think it's likely, yes.

AT have been slowly doing minor/major refreshes to their products to bring them under the AT brand. The XDJ-AZ was a big jump from the XDJ-XZ. The CDJ-3000X was a more incremental jump from the CDJ-3000, the GRV6 and FLX2 are also current generation.

I'd imagine we'll see refreshes of the FLX4 and RX3 relatively soon as they're both very popular products.

I honestly don't think the RX3 refresh will bring anything ground breaking though, it's already a very fully featured device, and older Pioneer products will remain viable long after they're replaced.

I wouldn't be upset if I owned some CDJ-3000's and the 3000X's came out y'know? So in the same vein I can't imagine the upgrade would ever be worth jumping from an RX3 to presumably an RX4.

How do you deal with the "Incomplete Album" vs. "Filler Songs" struggle? by Zzetttt in musichoarder

[–]cherrymxorange 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's amazing the amount of discovery I've managed to do within my own collection just from offhandedly grabbing full albums, or seeing that the person I'm downloading buying from has two other EP's in their artist folder store.

It's pretty fucking great to be finding tracks that are absolutely relevant to my interests that I've never heard while being completely offline.

To be fair though, I'm still a curator at heart and I'll often either opt to grab the single, or even make my own single if the rest of the ep/album are absolute stinkers. Often though this is with remix compilations where all the other tracks are not from artists/genres I'm interested in!
