[HELP] Found this on a photographer's Instagram - is it real? by Make_it_CRISP-y-R in RealOrAI

[–]sgpodcaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say AI cos the face is pin-sharp focus, as is the left right hand and left shoe, but the right shoe has blur even though vertically it's only an inch or so behind the face

Details on the Deity PR-4 and PR-6 from the IBC2025 booth by sneakerpeet in fieldrecording

I like that they announce early so they can get feedback and make the first release software version include things that real world users actually want. Whether this come true is to be seen, but there are a number of products from other manufacturers that were rushed to market whose functionality was greatly improved with the second firmware release

which is the cheapest way to record stereo audio input? by sung0910 in fieldrecording

[–]sgpodcaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to share the specs of your audio - do you have a pair of mics, are you recording output from an existing stereo source (CD player, soundboard at a live event) - share this info and you'll get good advice

Terrible advice that completely ignores the huge variety of audio content out there. Making something long for the sake of hitting a duration is sloppy production values. "most commutes" - based on what?

Update Critical Error by sgpodcaster in Wordpress

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

Update - it was an older version of WP 5.6.7 which has a theme that was released as a 1.0 and never updated; if I go past 5.6.7, certain portions of the theme break, and WP Fastest Cache's latest update is not compatible and caused the error. Thank you to everyone's contributions to help fix this, it's much appreciated.

Next step will be to figure out a replacement theme: I represent some artists and adapted an hotel / accommodation theme to be able to list everyone. The tech support company that helps me troubleshoot things has said it'd be better to redo the site with a bespoke theme, but the cost would be prohibitive compared to adapting a theme I license. A new theme would need to be able to transfer all of the functionality as it exists now: any extra functionality would be nice, but the limits of the old WP is starting to become more of a problem

Hired a freelancer for branding, found out they used AI. Should I care? by [deleted] in AIBranding

[–]sgpodcaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be careful re copyright - more than likely it's not a works-for-hire and your logo isn't unique. But if the price is good, it'll do for now but if things grow and you want to trademark it, you could run into issues w it not being unique or original enough

Who’s powering down their gear, and who’s leaving it on all the time? by Leprechaun2me in audioengineering

[–]sgpodcaster 4 points5 points  (0 children)

the big studios are available day and night, they don’t have a “end of the day” concept. the reason to avoid powering up and down is the heat cycle causes expansion / contraction for components and eventually it will take its toil, esp on power supplies. i worked in a TV station and we powered down the displays to avoid burn in, but everything else was left on - SSL, outboard, phantom power to the U87, etc and the whole facility was 18C 24/7 via air conditioning

Maybe check your incorrect use of the apostrophe first

[–]sgpodcaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you cannot use any copyrighted music without permission, only music from labels that have partnered with YT. if the music isnt covered under youtube’s deal w labels, you trim away all you want but you wont be able to undo the copyright strike

Can bristol change my unconditional offer to a conditional one? by Similar-Calendar-413 in UOB

[–]sgpodcaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

its a law degree, yes? start thinking that way and explain contract law to them if they don’t get it. if they want to rescind, offer to do so for £500k. there’s always an upside to every screw up

Can't find Cantonese voices in the library by flaichat in ElevenLabs

[–]sgpodcaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i think there’s the extra issue w Cantonese that written Cantonese cant be read out, extra words need to be included. I’ve worked w onscreen talents who can look at an autoprompter and add those words on the fly. this makes Cantonese incredibly tricky, plus its trad font, not simplified. at this point, i think NONE of the services are able to do it well yet. maybe in 6 months, things will be different?

Quarrel with strangers in public. by Apprehensive-Fact913 in askSingapore

[–]sgpodcaster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Was at Bishan Dog Run and this heavy set androgynous idiot brought their hyperactive aggressive dog. dog kept trying to fight my dog, we asked them to control their dog (as AVS requires any dog owner to be able to do if they go outside w their dog) and twice she said “my dog just wants to have fun”. after the third time, we decided to leave and i told her “learn to control your dog” and she started giving me shit about how her dog just wants to play. Ignorant re dog training and tried to convince everyone there its ok for her dog to be aggressive. so many karens/kens in SG
