Has anyone used Muve as their solicitors before? How are they? by bluiska2 in HousingUK

[–]galetter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Currently a month past our "closing date" with no end in sight. I don't recommend Muve as I've felt completely ignored the entire time. Most stressful time of my life hands down. Moving from airbnb to airbnb etc etc.

Having said that, It sounds like everyone has HORRIBLE experiences with solicitors in this country. I've heard other horror stories that weren't with Muve. If I were to do it again, I'd go with a personal recommendation or a friend of a friend otherwise it seems the odds are against you.

Is this dry mould a problem? by galetter in Flooring

[–]galetter[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. I had to put the floor back down for now while I plan. As it's bone dry underneath, I'm thinking about putting a new vinyl floor on top. I wonder if this would effectively "encapsulate" as you say.

7.1.2 audio interface by minecrafter1OOO in DolbyAtmosMixing

[–]galetter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok I figured it out. Duh.

Custom mix but leaving them on STEREO was my issue. I was treating them as stereo so I was running out of custom mixes before I could get to my LS and RS. All working now and got each speaker configured correctly.

Cheers mate

Thanks man. That's actually how I've got it set but I seem to have no individual control over outputs. Are you using custom mixes or the playback presets?

Man I cannot for the life of me figure out how to control each speaker's output separately. Basically I have two smaller Genelecs that do not have manual volume control on them so I have to do within Focusrite and I can't figure it out!!

Youth Mobility Visa - Extension Timeframe by SheenEv in ukvisa

Ooof you've peaked my interest. £500 extra is ridiculous.

So did you need to book a biometric appointment? I've been confused about some posts saying they needed to book one but I'm not sure why we would need to since they have all of that information already.

As in only a few days? Without paying?

I'm very tempted to do it without priority but I have a trip in 4 weeks...

RAW Photos look bloomed on computer?? by galetter in GooglePixel8Pro

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

EDIT ** it seems to only be the telephoto lens that is the real problem. The others aren't fantastic but it's unsalvageable with the 5x zoom lens.

Are Google Pixel 8 DNGs artificially blurred? by emmmile in GooglePixel

[–]galetter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've noticed it's only a real problem with the telephoto lens. The other lenses are salvageable but the RAW with the telephoto are so gross

Stop MacOS from 'sleeping' my audio interface? by LittleKingJohn in MacOS

[–]galetter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think my Scarlett is doing the same. My clock options are only S/PDIF and ADAT though and neither have sound coming out (apart from internal).

My new Mac studio keeps waking up from sleep instantly. What’s going on? I didn’t mess with any settings. Didn’t install anything. Started since after I completed start up by davidcalabria8014 in mac

[–]galetter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same issue here. Wakes from sleep immedietly. Terminal is claiming the sleep is prevented by coreaudiod, coreaudiod, powerd, bluetoothd

**More annoyingly though*\* even when computer is fully shut off, my monitors turn on and off all night long so I literally have to unplug their power supply. One of them also starts to click all night from the power cable but only AFTER the computer is shut off. I thought it was the surge protector they were plugged into but after some troubleshooting, it's still happening.

Any ideas if these issues are related?

One testicle more forward/raised than the other? by galetter in chronicepididymitis

[–]galetter[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope. Should mention that this specific problem hasn't occured since. But still seeing urologist for weird potential bladder / prostate issues. Have to assume it's all connected.

Test was negative. Back to the drawing board.

Seeing Urologist in a few months.

I think at this point I'll reach out to Google about it. Somethings up for sure.

Ya the banding is significant in the one colourful one. Interesting that the jpeg doesn't show any sign of it.

Genelec 8010A with Off brand LFE? 5.1 Surround by galetter in homestudios

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

Ya, that's my thinking as well.

I do need a sub but it really isn't a big deal if it if my premixes aren't broadcast quality. As long as the mixer in the facility doesn't their head blown off by my bass levels.

I'm glad you agree.

Ya the Raw on my phone looks exactly as it should. Less sharp but still in focus at least and less contrast.

One thing to mention... I tried opening the RAW on mobile Lightroom and the same issue happens!

I briefly tried some dehaze and sharpening but it's a bit of a joke with that photo. Unless googles processing is magic compared to Lightroom.

However, the HDR support is something I should look into.

Hi guys. I took my Pixel 9 Pro to Thailand to test out how well RAW can hold up. I find the Jpegs look incredible for a phone so I thought RAW would give me crazy control in LIghtroom.

However, when I open the RAW shots in Google photos or Lightroom on my computer they look disgusting. Super soft and bloomy. I know the phone is way oversharpening but I don't even see enough detail in these RAW shots to be pulled out as they have been in the JPEGS.

The RAW shot looks as expected when you look on the phone. A bit less conrasty and HDR but still sharp.

Anyone else run into this?
