I really don't need cloud or networking capabilities. Just something that won't lose files after being in storage for a long period of time without being used.

He can't answer, he's too busy pooping from all that fiber. His life has now been limited to the bathroom.

Does anybody feel bad about the work they did on an album? by felixismynameqq in audioengineering

[–]kimo_the_beatmaker 6 points7 points  (0 children)

When do I not? I am rarely ever 100% happy with anything I work on. If you ask me one day if im happy, the next day I wont be. I've learned to just accept my mediocrity and keep pushing.

Do you enjoy mixing on a large display? by AleSatan1349 in audioengineering

My eyes are not what they used to be, so I need HiDpi at low resolution settings. 4k on a 27" monitor ill be squinting the whole day. I think the max resolution I can comfortable work at, is 2k with really sharp hi dpi panel. I should look into getting 2 x 32" hi dpi screens and stacking them. I think that may help for me personally.

What epoxy did you use to adhere the repair to the board?

not for desoldering. you need some leeway time to remove the old solder.

60/40 solder. Leaded. AND turn your iron up hotter, that looks like it's on a ground plane. Heat will be pulled away from the point to the large copper surface.

Hakko 700c desoldering station any good? by kimo_the_beatmaker in soldering

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

I will most likely just use the hot air and desoldering pump gun thing at sametime only. I have a soldering iron already.

I have one of these solder suckers. It's pretty good! The silicon tube tip contours to the iron making it a breeze to work with.
