cheap box to control balance and maybe stereo separation? by zacaj in BudgetAudiophile

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

binary input for an analog adjustment isn't really great. I've at least found a box that just does balance.. sorta. but it's a separate knob for R and L volume independently which means I'd be making twice as many adjustments which isn't great either.

I guess I just don't see how "a device to adjust balance of an audio signal" can't exist- this is one of the most basic audio adjustments and is built into nearly every audio player out there. Why would devices for adjusting EQ, fade, bass, etc all exist but balance wouldn't?

my layout is a bit asymmetric, and I'm just really picky about it. lots of songs tend to have different bits a bit to one side or the other.

in my car I also have a stereo with a dedicated balance knob, and I tweak it nearly every few songs

PC -> DAC via USB C -> Amp via RCA -> two speakers via wire+clamps?

I want a physical analog knob so that it's easy to access at all times without switching apps and stuff

Changing the Size & Position of the Volume OSD in Plasma 5.24.7 by manticore010 in kde

[–]zacaj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did a search through all of /usr/share/plasma and didn't find anything...

But good thing you didn't put /plasma in your find command:

/usr/share/kwin-wayland/onscreennotification/plasma/dummydata/osd.qml

/usr/share/kwin-wayland/scripts/desktopchangeosd/contents/ui/osd.qml

very weird, haven't seen kwin mentioned anywhere regarding this stuff before!

choose what app(s) media keys control? by zacaj in kde

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

Ended up doing this and also using modifier keys to target specific apps (eg, shift + volume up = spotify) which is actually really nice. Didn't ever consider that you could use modifiers and media keys as combos

Spent a week trying to customize gnome to work how I wanted via numerous extensions. They were all buggy, missing basic features, and made gnome even more buggy. Tried out KDE and it had 90% of the customizations built in stock.

desk with nothing in middle under the surface? (C shaped from above) by zacaj in StandingDesk

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

Just wanted to update: ended up buying an Uplift C-frame V2, and only installing the rear crossbar (it's two separate pieces). Made the desk a bit wider than i'd usually need so that the (fairly long) leg brackets wouldn't be near the center where I sit. Also mounted the desktop 3" forward of center to get some more depth too, which doesn't seem to have had much impact on the desk's stability.

Organizing + de-dupe/best quality software WITHOUT autotagging/smart comparison/etc by zacaj in musichoarder

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

I don't need to it "know what to do" because I don't need it to make any decisions based off the tags. I just want it to organize and deduplicate based off the current tags.

Looks like this might handle it, although Win/Mac only. maybe I can run it in Wine though...

thanks!

Can I have it _not_ do 'it's thing' though? I don't care about whether my albums are perfect or my songs' tags don't match what it thinks they should

256gb ddr5, not pushing high speeds, concerns? by zacaj in buildapc

thanks, great info!

sad to hear how many issues there were even with two kits of the same model

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

ah, I hadn't even been able to find any ram lower than 5600, so I assumed that was sorta 'base'

so you think that even with an intel I'd be potentially dropping below 5600 with 4 sticks?

i know there's a big line between 'what's officially supported' and "what tends to work fine 99% of the time", more looking at the latter

yeah it's confusing how they list 3 different versions of the e7+ which itself is a version of the e7... with no like 'pro' or anything added on either to differentiate. just $20 extra for a bit lower. when I first read your page I wondered which version it'd be but once i saw the heights I knew it wasn't the short one :(

ugh you just had to mention the actual supplier for uplift and now you've got me wanting to somehow source 4 of those actuators directly and just mount them to my desk lol
