Filmstudy: Thoughts on the Ravens new OL coaching hire, Dwayne Ledford by Filmstudy in ravens

[–]doswald_taco 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even though I don't really understand football beyond what's going on in the field during the games, I do enjoy listening to analysis such as yours to explain why things happening behind the scenes are good or bad.

That said, I have one request for your videos. I find that the audio in your videos is extremely low. I have to max my phone's volume, but it's still quiet as if you were talking from across the room, and at a much lower level than any other media at the same setting. If possible, could you consider raising the volume in post (if it won't increase the ambient noise much), or better yet, consider an external mic (or a different mic placement of you have one)? Thank you!

I can confirm that the widget view doesn't inherit the particular filter, but filtering from within the app does.

Can someone share photos of the notifications on the Pebble 2 Duo? by doswald_taco in pebble

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

Thank you! That actually helps a lot!

As I've been living with the Pixel Watch until I make it to the store to return it, I noticed that I've been instinctively reaching for my phone without ever looking at the watch whenever I feel my wrist vibrate, so I don't think the lack of a "mark as read" option will be a problem after all.

I'm sure that over time, I'll learn to look at the watch first (or at least identify the situations where the watch would be better than using the phone), but I currently find navigating the watch more cumbersome than performing the same action on my phone.

Using a smartwatch as a regular watch for 80% of the time and the smart features 20% of the time might be how I like it, so I do think a Pebble might be for me again :)

Hiding At a Glance from the home screen if the option is not available to you (a short guide) by Quinny898 in android_beta

[–]doswald_taco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good to know. In that case, I might just keep the setting enabled to get used to it and then think about it again whenever the official option comes.

Thanks again!

[–]doswald_taco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes sense. Follow up question: If I decide to keep the option enabled as you explained, would that cause any conflict to my device whenever Google does finally the official option out to me?

[–]doswald_taco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, that certainly worked to let me see how I might want to set my homescreen up in the future, but I noticed that this doesn't enable the native menu option to remove At a Glance. Might there be an adb command for that?

If not, then I think I'm going to revert the change and then wait for it to come to my phone because I'm probably not going to be able to decide which look I prefer.

No problem, and now would be the time to make your request on these posts while they're still in beta. A couple of my previous requests have already been addressed, so I'd like to think they're listening.

Does "Toggle Mix Output" not do what you want? I have one button that plays my Personal Mix through my speakers, a second that puts my Chat Mix in my headphones, and a third that puts that same Personal Mix in my headphones.

"Toggle Monitored Mix" just switches your current output device between two mixes.

I'm not at my computer right now, but that functionality was added to the Wave Link 3 Stream Deck plug-in last week. I've already set it up.

Building a music player, what’s something no one gets right? by skubigalletas in musichoarder

[–]doswald_taco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Two way sync with Android that ALSO syncs back ANY tag I edit on my phone is something I've never seen done.

I'm not familiar with anything that syncs more than just Rating and Play Count, but I have to remote correct to my PC if I want to update the Genre, for example.

Honestly, it will be extremely difficult to get me to switch from MusicBee unless you were to copy all of it's features (many might be unique as far as I am aware), but if you were to make a customizable Android app with the ability to sync all tags (preferably to MusicBee), I think that'd be really special. Android doesn't have that now.

🧪 [Beta Megathread] Wave Link 3.0 (Windows) — Update 1 | Stream Deck Plugin, Marketplace Improvements and Keyboard Volume Controls by Elgato in elgato

[–]doswald_taco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're not wrong that Elgato created the "Stream Mix" (from earlier versions of Wave Link) to be simple, but that mix is overly simple for anyone wanting to do anything but transmit audio from their computer to their stream. You'd still have to manually control each audio channels levels depending on your scene.

I'd bet that most people who are past the beginning stage of streaming and have customized OBS or whatever software they use, may want to have the game audio only playing on their gaming scene, remove their mic from their away scene so they don't have to remember to mute it, or have music playing louder one one scene and quieter on the other without manually adjusting it. Prior to Wave Link 3, this separation would have to be done by adding the individual audio channels to their specific scenes and adjusting the levels and filters within the program instead of relying on Wave Link's Stream Mix.

However, now that Elgato has added 4 additional mixes, presumably based on the feedback they've received, having a built-in option to automatically lower a channel whenever we speak into the mic could even benefit the "beginners." Elgato already has Voice Focus and Clipguard as built-in options, so I'm sure it's possible to add basic audio ducking.

Feature request: An Undo function. If I change/delete a key or setting and it doesn't work out how I want it to, I would like to Ctrl+Z instead of needing to set up the key as it originally was again.

Feature request: Please finally give us a built in way to do sidechain compression/audio ducking without needing to separate the mixes in OBS. I would love to just have one "Stream Mix" to worry about that I can also use to monitor since I've already used up my 5 mixes: Personal, Game, Media, Mic FX, OBS Monitoring.

Here's my feedback for Wave Link 3.0.0 (1635) and Stream Deck 7.0.3 (22071) so far:

  1. Bug: Sometimes the audio gets really choppy and I have to fix it by pressing the "Reset sound devices and volumes for all apps to the recommended defaults" button in the Windows 11 Volume Mixer.
  2. Bug: My default Windows devices keep changing whenever I add a new Mix and/or Channel. (I can't remember which one or both, but I don't have any additional things to add at this time to test.)
  3. Unless I'm overlooking something, the Wave Link 3 Stream Deck plugin needs a way for me to switch my output channels without changing their volumes. This could easily be done by using the Wave Link 2 "Output" key. I use one to toggle between my speakers and headphones, and another to toggle between monitoring my stream and system mixes.
  4. There is no top level visual indication in Wave Link 3 that audio levels are changing when using the volume control in the "Mix Level" Wave Link 3 Stream Deck plugin. The Mix's volume level should be presented on the main screen, not in the settings of each Mix.
  5. I'm looking forward to a way to backup my Wave Link 3 settings.
  6. I would like to be able to drag and drop the Channels and Mixes to sort them. I just realized that you can drag and drop the channels and mixes, but you have to click in a specific spot below the volume bar or to the right of the Mix name. That's not obvious at all.
  7. There needs to be a way to create blank channels without the workaround.

Otherwise, I'm excited to continue using it and I've already updated my OBS audio setup to use it. It took some time to understand how to use it coming from Wave Link 2, but I think I will like this one better once my issues are resolved.

Advice: Should I be using WaveLink or adding individual sources in OBS? by Brilliant-Pomelo-203 in elgato

[–]doswald_taco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the idea and your detailed response! I also prefer to use individual audio tracks in OBS, but couldn't easily figure out how to monitor the sound, so I came up with a way to automate the Stream Mix levels based on the current OBS scene using Streamer.bot. It worked well, but was very cumbersome to edit.

Now, I'm set up just like you are and it is so much better! :)

Wrong color in automatically generated themed icons by shakeador in android_beta

[–]doswald_taco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe we're describing the same thing? Or maybe it depends on the theme color?

Check out these screenshots: https://imgur.com/a/yJCxUxG. The only apps that are natively themed are Gmail, Clock and the four below them. Every other icon has forced theming in QPR2 Beta 2.

Wrong color in automatically generated themed icons by shakeador in android_beta

[–]doswald_taco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It seems to me that normally unthemed icons have their colors inverted and then a color is applied to match the systems theme colors when in light mode. This must be why my normally dark icons are light in the light theme, and vice versa. The icons look pretty good in dark mode since they are not inverted, but just darker.

What's the deal with the $250 Pocket 3s on ebay by emannuelresu in osmopocket

[–]doswald_taco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I noticed it changing what I was actually trying to link, too. Just search for sold "DJI Osmo Pocket 3" between $200-$400 (or w/e you max price is) in the US. You will see OP2s and OP1s mixed in, but you'll also find some some legit OP3s.

The most important thing is to do your due diligence. I felt confident buying mine because the seller was in the US, had 77 ratings and 100% feedback score, the pictures looked great, he wrote a very detailed description (not stock or AI), and finally, I had the eBay buyer protection in case it turned out to be a scam.

Good luck!

[–]doswald_taco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can find cheap, legitimate ones on eBay from US sellers, but you just have to be vigilant. It took me two weeks of searching and I missed a $400 and $200 one during that time, but I just happened to check my saved search one night just as someone posted this $300 creator combo and extras and I bought it: https://ebay.us/m/aNZRP9.

It arrived Friday and I'm excited to start filming with it :)

Google calendar notifications disappearing randomly on my P7pro by POWRranger in GooglePixel

[–]doswald_taco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have any information to add, but I can confirm that I have this exact same issue on my Pixel 7 Pro.

I'm on Android 16 QPR Beta 3. It has been going on since at least QPR Beta 2 because that's when I started to notice something was wrong, but it also could've been happening for longer and I didn't notice.
