It’s hard to beat a wire for realtime sound 🤓 I’ve been doing the same lately. It’s amazing how much a little bit of white noise makes.
I saw a paper years ago that attributed the accelerated cognitive decline in old age to hearing loss. Really interesting and sad, and after trying to convince my dad to try a hearing aid… I can definitely see that being a factor.
I really feel like the audio mixes are not intended for regular stereo speakers anymore… I pull a lot of soundtracks out in audacity for the sake of making ringtones and I almost never see a clean center channel… logically this should be dialogue and maybe some extra effects when they would be overwhelming, like an explosion, etc. but that’s not what I see.
I’m reminded of comments regarding Tenet where Nolan said something like “… you mess with the picture and nobody cares, you mess with the audio and people loose their minds.”
I’m old enough that I basically just fart dust. remember when…
The telco forced you to rent the phones from them, went defunct, got bought by AT&T, who then proceeded to send my folks an $700 bill for the “princess phone” they never wanted back. And now my folks wonder why I’m a socialist 😌
Reminds me of the port-o-rotary… the guys at Spark Fun were rolling around Makefair with a million years ago. Like $500 to convert an old rotary phone into a cellphone you could carry around.
Shit audio quality, but now that I’ve got a few bucks 😅
I think buying the domain came with an agreement that I would only use it to contribute to the nations cultural development or something similar… so it’s at least on my list of places to visit.
I think this calls for something stronger; corn syrup, powdered sugar, beef broth, etc.
