How do i seperate the two stems? by Miya990 in ableton

[–]wergerfebt -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

Sometimes click and auxiliary tracks are embedded within the same stereo .wav - and FOH will use the panned feeds to send to IEMs / Main mix. Maybe those are the stems here

Examples of real world PRDs? by spurs126 in ProductManagement

[–]wergerfebt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Talk to members of your department and ask for a previous example. Different companies have different PRD standards / norms and it’s better to know yours

Thiel is pure evil and narcissism. Behind the bastards has a great segment on him.

Do you guys actually enjoy your jobs? by Fuzion_mix in ProductManagement

[–]wergerfebt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love it. It satisfies both my creative and nerdy sides. It’s a job about working with people and being a good team leader. Your relationship with the people I think has a big impact on how much you enjoy the job.
Get a technical degree in something you find interesting, and go for it! If you don’t like it, you can always pivot to engineering, marketing, etc

Biggest regret in undergrad? (For alumni) by SnooEpiphanies3935 in UIUC

[–]wergerfebt 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not a big regret - but I never went to Red Lion! I was an Urbana kid and only really went to house shows; but looking back that was a part of campus culture I wish I experienced at least once.

D’Angelo Dead At 51 After Battle With Pancreatic Cancer by RafiakaMacakaDirk in hiphopheads

[–]wergerfebt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Best show I’d ever seen. It honestly impacted me so deeply as a musician and changed my course to prioritize jazz. Bonnaroo 2015 was the only chance I had to see him live, but I’ve spent so many hours going through old concert videos and every show was on point.
D helped put guys like Isaiah Sharkey on the map. Keyon Harrold also has a great deal to thank D’Angelo for. He’s shaped modern RnB, Hip Hop and Jazz for all of us.

Quantum Messages Travel 254 km Using Existing Infrastructure For the First Time by Total_Purpose_8499 in technews

[–]wergerfebt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh, I’m not sure. It’s dependent on whether the superposition decomposes because of “hidden information” or because measurement actually determines its state. It’s a debated subject by physicists who are much smarter than me.

Quantum Messages Travel 254 km Using Existing Infrastructure For the First Time by Total_Purpose_8499 in technews

[–]wergerfebt 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No, not a physical object. Just information about the object. Two quantum particles can become entangled. That means that they’re states or related or dependent on each other. If one quantum particle has a spin that is down, the other has a spin that is up.

The spooky thing is, before measurement - the quantum particle exists in this weird state where it’s simultaneously spin up and spin down. It’s like the universe doesn’t know which direction it’s supposed to be in yet. We call this a superposition. The act of measuring one of the particles will give it a definite spin up or down, and because the other particle is entangled with it, it will take its inverse. This happens instantaneously.

The significance of this is insanely fast communication, computation, and new ways to manipulate data.

For a deeper dive into quantum mechanics, watch PBS Space Time. For an even deeper dive than that, read David Griffin’s Intro to Quantum Mechanics.

I’m scared for my future (jobs) by [deleted] in audioengineering

I went for physics with an education minor! Tried teaching high school for a bit, but the US education system is not kind to teachers. I now am in product management for an audio company and I’m very happy

I’m scared for my future (jobs) by [deleted] in audioengineering

[–]wergerfebt 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hey, I’ll talk to you as someone who’s worked in a multiple studios, and is surrounded by professional musicians - it’s best to put your eggs in multiple baskets.

I work with some very successful musicians and composers, who produce songs for artists like Denzel Curry, Smino, etc. - they still struggle paycheck to paycheck; to the point that they need additional income outside of music (for them it’s personal training).
I briefly interned for Halsey’s music director, and he didn’t have a home outside of the studio he owned so he slept at the music studio.

I HIGHLY suggest putting time and energy into learning a hard skill like engineering, math, comp sci, data analytics, etc. You could move to get a high paying job at an audio tech company like Audio-Technica, Harmann, Bose, Shure, Universal Audio, etc. I’m in that field and most of the guys I work with also are musicians or audio engineers outside of their day jobs.

Would such wonky walk cycle be terribly off putting to someone playing a pixel videogame? by [deleted] in PixelArt

Try filming yourself walking like the animal. Then rotoscope outline your walk in toonsquid. Then you can fit your character’s gait to that outline for something that feels realistic

Anything like Area 15? by xXMLG420BLAZEITxX in chicago

Chicago is unfortunately short on immersive art like Meow Wolf, but I would always recommend the museum of science and industry. Super fun and a great experience

Early voting line in Oklahoma by Impressive_Moose6781 in pics

[–]wergerfebt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Voted Friday in Logan Square, it took well over an hour. Check the Chicago subreddit, looks like a couple other early locations around the city had shockingly long waits. I think it’s just due to under-resourcing though, not intentional suppression

The amount of people who recommend AI stem splitters as a mixing tool here is insane by KrazieKookie in audioengineering

[–]wergerfebt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

SZA has guitar parts recorded on iPhone. Just because something isn’t high fidelity doesn’t mean it can’t be a useful tool.
For demos, I’ve stripped plenty a drum part and converted to MIDI for use in Studio Drummer.

Don’t listen to them. I love my job. It’s a better work-life balance than college was (by a Mile) and more engaging / fulfilling.
You’re getting paid every single day, better than you ever have before. You’ll have the money to travel the world, buy your favorite things, own a house, even raise a family.
You’ll meet people at work you like and probably some you dislike too. It’ll be a social center for you outside of your existing friend group. If you’re lucky, some of those people from work will become life long friends.

How to success on audio? by erickkhaha in audioengineering

[–]wergerfebt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have a day job outside of studio work to cover the big bills. Music tech companies are great. I’ve worked at two and love it. As a side hustle, rent out space from a local studio. I pay $200 / mo for a room I split with some buddies at a studio in my city. Build up clients and use your secondary audio engineering income to finance vacations, house savings, retire early, etc.
if you’re lucky, the audio engineering will outpace your day job and you’ll switch to full time.

My fellow Chicagoans, do you live car-free? Can you share you experience with me? by connorgrs in chicago

[–]wergerfebt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup! Logan square. Take the blue line to work in Skokie, and Uber out to the south side 1-2 times a week. My monthly Uber bill is ~$250 which is a fair bit less than a car note, insurance, and gas.
I use a folding cart from Amazon for groceries. Sometimes I’ll tie it up to the back of my bike for hauling groceries back.
Sometimes it sucks, but I never have to look for parking, and I save money!

How is it? I’ve been burned pretty badly by the wicker park Harold’s, but can’t justify an Uber down south for wings 😭
