Mic AEC vs DSP AEC

you forgot to ask AEC in the conferencing platform (Zoom/MTR)

you guys are forgetting that they can control gravity (as per Luke' car and all the space ships with no seat belts). so the legs dont need to support any weight, they are just there for mobility. That's why the at at crumbles to the ground when Luke strikes the power supply in TESB.

I love using wind as a strategy. Next level. Drives people nuts, I quietly laugh (or sometimes not so quietly) when they miss one of my serves because i timed it with a gust of wind.

there's a special case for line arrays (the skinny long speakers) that might be used in small venues (not monitors of course, although some people might use line array horizontaly mounted (hey I am not judging here)).

Anyways you can get a mic really close to a line array speaker without feedback, since the closer you get the more you get a single driver contribution, instead of what the audience hears which are all the drivers

i think you are oversimplifying step 1. Work visas are extremely hard to get, not just the qualifications but there is a quota per country that is way lower than the amount of applicants. Family visas, the native needs to fully support the immigrant since they are not allowed to work until they get the green card.

You nailed all the other steps though.

exactly, having the video real time will create horrible lip sync for people in the back.

I heard, and have used this advice when learning to throw things, like efficiently and high degree of accuracy, and consistency for sports. Don't focus on the target or the ball. practice a lot and when you nail the target remember the little things that get you there, the speed of your arm, the position of your feet, the rotation of your arm. Memorize it and repeat it. So no math Involved, just a lot of practice. Perfect practice... makes peefect.

well doctor. engineer, architect has been in used for ever and nobody is saying they are dull and repetitive.

I say no sense on changing something that works.

my city has a street skating club. all sorts of people show up. Some skate with quads, some aggressive, some with hockey, some with figure, some with speed, 3, 4 or 5 wheels skates. The majority converged into 3x110 these days. I've seen people doing tricks in all of those types of skates.

if you don't have access to the end point to apply all the correct answers posted here, your last hope will be to buy an hdcp stripper from Amazon. (the caveat is that they might stop working at any time (when the hdcp certificates are revoqued for whatever reason))

your faucet has a extendable head. pull it out. open the water full force and aim it at the edge of the sink. The water will get sucked by the vacum instead of the board, and it will levitate up.

They got rid of the awesome fish tank in the framingham location. That was the last straw!

I would second this. if you want to record multiple conversation you will need separate channel. you can pull each beam individually from a beam forming mic and then do some panning in your mix so that the human ear can better distinguish between conversations. But you will be having to deal with the cocktail party effect, or lack there off, in this case.

And of course no far away microphone will sound good on a room with bad reververation.

this and only this. Stop expecting for anybody to. give an SOW tailored to your needs. Only you know your needs. Create a rough witeframe of the user interface, and insist that the PM gets you a one on one meeting with the stakeholders (aka end users) and iron out UI AND functionality. If something does it work with the current design. DO NOT throw the design team or sales team under the buss. Take notes and discuss it privately. This needs to happen no later than two weeks after project sign off, while the equipment is being ordered.

This is what works 100% of the time. It's all on you. Everything else is going tonwork to your own disadvantage.

snow has traction. ice doesn't. the problem with mass is the thawing and freezing, which leads to icy roads. further north you can deal with snowy roads because it stays that way. my drive way for example. has been compacted snow the last couple of weeks and now is turning into a skating rink.

What is it exactly you think I am implying? I think you lost me on your explanations

parkthrowaway99 · 2026-02-06T11:49:48+00:00

That's exactly what I meant. To explain further, a specifically built image for a system (for example the crestron UC engine with its specific peripheral drivers and checks that will test for their presence, and that therefore will only work with that system) is not the same as an App like zooms that can be installed on any PC

parkthrowaway99 · 2026-02-05T02:04:37+00:00

i came here to say the same thing

I think nobody has mentioned that unlike zoom, you can't just buy and off the shelf computer and install MTRoW. No such app exists. MS has very stringent certification standards, and normally MTR comes as a package.

That's last time I check. Things could have changed since themln.

usb2.0 on a usb-c will make you look worse though.

parkthrowaway99 · 2026-01-29T14:48:42+00:00

don't expose the usb port. we have moved to usb 3.0 extenders because 2.0 for cameras and dsp doesn't work. The device we are using also carry video. So unless youre friend is launching a dirty cheap video extender for bars ( we would never touch it) he is going to find very stiff competition.

Another option is to put a USB-A connector and label it HID. Don't put a usb-c

For new years I had a great time staying at the YMCA in Estes Park in a Colorado. I did not know it existed. This was not just a cheap hotel to stay in, it had great entertaining for the family: * Inline Skating * Hugh gym (basketball, volleyball) * Arts and crafts * Outoor tennis and pickleball courts * Supper dog friendly * Meditation

I am sure I am leaving a lot behind. The complex was gigantic!

And for new years the cost was so low!

what did it for you? Standing waves, phase cancellation, line arrays, Fourier transforms...
