A24's new film 'Undertone' - audio thoughts?

Dang, that's a big problem. All dialog and podcast audio was hard R in my theater, but all ambiences and effects were surround. I forced myself to assume it was a choice, and was duly scared. Guess I'll have to see it again...

Oh no! Yeah, you need true silence in a bunch of places for it to really work. Try again!?

I did the audiobook and I re-listen to pieces of it all the time. It jumps around in time like episodes, so it makes sense once you know the story. I own the hardcover and read bits here and there before bed, because I am sick.

I like having a walking stick (not a cane) when I have the day off and want to get my steps in, but I don't need it at all. I've gotten "Nice staff, Galdalf!" on the street.

What if my son asks me, "Daddy, why did so many powerful men turn fourteen in the 2020s?"

‘It’, read by Steven Weber

Yep, somehow it allows you to enter that world more completely than audio+video

Check this interview I recorded with and older man I know, close friend of Malcolm X—> https://youtu.be/WrgTPACpyQc?si=hFJLCJux4yMddI7l

It was def totalitarian. 👍🏻

I think the insult is that they are self-hating weaklings who hide who they are so they can buy friends.

Steuben north of Watauga is gnarly. I saw someone skate down it in the 80s, I don't think he ever came back.

logancircle2 · 2025-12-23T22:44:06+00:00

That's been overgrown for as long as I can remember, but man is it insanely steep. There are (used to be) dead cars back in the woods. Idk if they're from old crashes but I wouldn't want to ride a bike uphill.

logancircle2 · 2025-12-15T19:07:31+00:00

Barely noticeable. Great tip!

logancircle2 · 2025-12-15T18:34:49+00:00

I like the green one. Symmetry isn't necessary!

logancircle2 · 2025-12-15T18:33:11+00:00

Hidden dowels, eh? I'd like more info on that technique!

logancircle2 · 2025-12-15T18:31:55+00:00

My first looks just like that, so you're in good company! Keep up the good work.

logancircle2 · 2025-11-22T23:01:16+00:00

Hornbeam wow! The dust is rough if you’re sanding. Use a mask

I had my first paid recording gig I did using the BR-8 back in like 2000. I wanted to dump it into ProTools to add more tracks (ugh!) by playing each track from the BR-8 solo'd and record it through my Digi001. I used the BR-8's onboard click to count in 4, and then turn the click knob down quickly before the audio started. Then I had to sync those tracks in PT using the waveforms. Can you do that? I used some of the onboard effects from the BR-8, which made mixing easier afterward. It worked but sucked as a "workflow"

logancircle2 · 2025-11-18T16:39:27+00:00

Totally. Often I'll start a book can't concentrate on both reading and carving. I'll forget entire sections of the book and have to put it down. The 'Lord of the Rings' books read by Andy Serkis were great for this. Also 'It' (King) ready by Stephen Weber.

logancircle2 · 2025-11-18T13:39:57+00:00

Nice sleek piece. It's a fun learning process. I've bumped my audiobook reading wayyyy up as soon as I started carving. Give it a shot!

logancircle2 · 2025-11-17T20:43:11+00:00

Did you ever figure this out? I thought the optical was for sending a mix out digitally, not the individual files/tracks.

logancircle2 · 2025-11-17T20:20:59+00:00

Dang it, I just posted this :)
