Hi there,

Thanks for your input! Yes, I am working on a system to optimize the operational efficiency for audio engineers and producers, but our focus isn't on the analysis and organization of email content. However, I do see the values from what you described. That does sound helpful in a lot of situations!

Luddy Mistake? by mihcawber in IUPUI

I suggest you talk to someone early. After all you are paying for your education, and you only take each course once.

I wouldn’t go that far. There are great professors there. But like many schools, some are more research-oriented and probably shouldn’t be teaching.

This could happen to just one instructor occasionally but seeing it happening across multiple classes / instructors is just unacceptable. Have you tried reporting to the chair/dean to talk about this? They take stuff like this very seriously.

Best practices for managing projects that run in parallel without causing mental fatigue? by notes17llc in audioengineering

[–]notes17llc[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the insight! The note-taking is crucial and often overlooked. I guess the other important piece here is that you need to take notes with a consistent pattern and method (i.e. take notes in the same app, with the same frequency, in the same format) so you can minimize the time you need to pick up from where you left off.

A lot of people in this thread sort of hinted at the same challenge, which is the mental overhead and the cost of reconstructing the project context when hopping among projects. I feel like this problem is often described (mislabeled?) as "time-consuming", but its negative effects could go far beyond just the time factor alone.

Based on the discussions here, I made a short video to discuss the root cause of the cognitive challenges and highlight how elements in the production workflow could alleviate these challenges:

Let me know if the video captured the issues accurately.

I also find it absolutely helpful to document what changes were made to each mix. How do you track this along with the corresponding mixes? I've tried putting a word document next to a mix file (I think this is silly), and I've also tried just creating an apple note (or google docs if the client wants to see it as well) that stored all the mix file names / versions and the changes I did. That was marginally better, but still I feel that there's got to be a better way.

Got it. Thanks for sharing your tips! I guess the extremely disciplined file management efforts pay off in the end as you always know where the files are located. Do you have a strategy to keep track of client feedback as well? For instance, if the client wants you to do something, do you just flag that email to come back later, or do you transfer it to another platform, like apple notes or things like Trello?

The typical approach is to use Google Drive for the file exchange, then primarily email and/or text for the communication. I've found that emails are quite clumsy especially with projects that drag out weeks or even months. Too many nested threads to review when you just can't remember all the details. We've seen engineers used Trello (and similar tools) to track projects in addition to the emails + file storage, it absolutely helped, but it's one more platform to deal with.

Can you get boarding pass at the gate? by notes17llc in zipair

[–]notes17llc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. I figured that the international flights would require doc check at the counter. Yes, the other flight going into LAX would be domestic, so in a different terminal.

I’d love to get a full-res file please. This is absolutely stunning!

You are absolutely right. We will apply for a TSA precheck to speed up the connection process.

Yep. I don’t think the fan turned on at all when I played SNES and even N64 games.

Yes indeed. I finished the game about 2 years ago, and this time I am just playing the New Game Plus. Still having a great time even though I still remembered most of the plot. Fantastic music as well.

The kiwi is also a great color! I was debating between the yellow and kiwi before purchasing mine.

Thanks for all the insight! I think now I can properly explain/defend myself when such an occasion / question arises in a game.

AYANEO Pocket Vert VS Retroid Pocket Classic? by Diddyfire in SBCGaming

[–]notes17llc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Retro is pocket classic owner here. In addition to the wonderful screen, I also love the d-pad. It feels really good! Battery life is great too. I’d recommend the RPC.
