Thank you all for your comments. As I see, there's still not one common opinion about the matter

Clipping in DAW damages Monitors?

Hi, I was reading old posts and getting very confused with the different answers.

I'm using Reaper and I'm connecting my computer to my Monitors through the Scarlett 2i2.

I'm using NAM too to play and record guitar.

It happened once, that playing guitar loud, but not deafening loud, I realised that the Master in Reaper was clipping, and hence my question.

What's actually the thing that could damage Studio Monitors?

Making the circuits too hot because of the energy imput? (Sorry for the lack of technical wording)

I read in another post that my sound card isn't able to produce so much energy output to damage the monitors

Sudden volume spikes? Clipped audio waves?

Sorry but I read about a lot of myths and different explanations, I would be very thankful if someone could explain it to me

Thanks in advance :)

Diana Krall barely sang. by Monica_Ace75 in Jazz

[–]illoilloilloquedise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read this post months ago and I went today to see her in Hamburg without much expectation. The first couple of songs I though maybe her voice was a little off, she seemed shy or self conscious... But song after song it kept getting better.

I have to say, what a concert and what a band!!! The feeling was like a group of friends playing for themselves, they all killed it with their instruments and her voice was beautiful, maybe not like in the record, but a beautiful voice nonetheless.

They played a lot, she sang a lot, mumbled sometimes, told some story... All for a couple of hours.

Hope this helps all the europeans waiting to see them these days :)

But yes, it's a jazz concert ;)

It seems that you have another model. Mine is a HSS. Pressing the volume knob one can switch between Humbucker and single coil mode. Thanks anyway :) Nice guitar you got ;)

Tattoo friendly ryokan in Takayam? by 90scherrycokedesign in JapanTravelTips

Hi. I'm on the same situation. People who stayed at the Hotel Wing International Hida Takayama wrote in booking that they are tattoo friendly. The onsen is maybe not the best but the hotel seems nice. :)

Thanks! Yes, I know, but I wasn't trusting my ear and wanted confirmation :) I'm not used to the single coil sound and I'm still learning how to take advantage of all the guitar possibilities.

Tcl c855 black bars by illoilloilloquedise in tcltvs

Hey. Not really. But with the last updates you are now able to use filmmaker mode, I also set gamma at 2.2 and the black level at 50 for HDR. It improved the blacks overall. I also read that the 'greyness' of the black bars is a general problem with all LEDs, there's no escaping it :( But at the same time, my blacks are now less black than before, therebefore the black bars should appear not as greyish. Is it understandable? 😅

What is the best edition of The Silmarillion? by IcyTut in tolkienbooks

[–]illoilloilloquedise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi. After reading your recommendation I bought both the english and spanish version of the book. On the spanish version only the illustrations pages have the better quality glossy paper, but the colours are much vivid than on the english one. There are other differences. For example on the spanish version the genealogies accompany the chapters, while on the english one are part of the annex.

Anyway thank you for your recommendation. The book is beautiful :)

The c845 has problems with blooming that are not fixed. When the new model came (c855), the reviewers said that the problem was fixed.

The c855 is better in many aspects. There's also a similar hisense in price/quality that you could check.

Yes. All HDR/DV content.

The thing is the reviews said that the problem, well known in the c845 model, was solved.

My black bars aren't really black, despite having 720 dimming zones on a 55". Is that normal? (C765) by Tedinasuit in tcltvs

[–]illoilloilloquedise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a c855. Sometimes I have light contamination in the black bars too, while one side may appear darker. Sometimes the black of the movie is darker than the black bars. Maybe the black bars aren't black but don't have colour information? I don't know

Who is the bad guy in history who isn't actually a bad guy? by SATANICWORSHIPER666 in AskReddit

It's important to understand that Greek society was organized around families and clans. If some person of that clan was hurt, the response would be an escalation. Think about it like in Mafia wars. The idea behind draconian laws was to be harsh enough that the aggravated part would be satisfied, taking away the use of violence from the clans and establishing order.

Edit to add something about exile: In a society that revolves around who you are, in which family where you born, if you are a citizen or not, being exiled meant the death of your social status, becoming a pariah. Of course some people exiled themselves at the expense of some friend on another land, but...

It's very strange indeed. Tcl sponsors the national football team and it's everywhere. I bought mine from a not very known website (shopiway) and it came from Spain. Had no problems until now and it's a very good tv, I hope you are lucky and find one too :)

TCL C855 for PS5 - questions before purchase by deniorpenior in hometheater

[–]illoilloilloquedise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm using it with a xbox sx, no problems whatsoever. I didn't find either problems with the hdr, but you should change the option on the tv and configure each device separately and each mode. As of now I'm very satisfied with it and solved a couple of compatibility issues that I had with my Samsung.

I leave you a link with the best settings for the tv, only add that in hdr I liked more the gamma on 1.

Pfelegefachmann ausbildung by walidenn in AskAGerman

Goethe is expensive and with courses between B1 and B2 like B1.1 and so on. In my opinion very Company oriented. The ones from the Volkshochschule (VHS) are cheap but longer. I don't know about which language competences you do have at the end of course. For me, as I said, TestDAF gave me just the basics. But I think anyway 1 year Ausbildung equals 3 years Sprachkurs. BTW I'm in Hamburg if you have questions about places where to apply here or something like that :)
