The feeding frenzy of negativity here on Twitter is of no interest to me, hence why I have stopped posting.

Switching to Bluesky to give a go. Here is the link where I will post links to new videos, island audio insights.

Being railroaded by @USAA_help They sent me to their repair shop w inflated prices, made car undrivable, 3 low-ball valuations, cancel the rental car, stopped communicating 18 days ago except messages pressuring me to sign my title over for a total loss and accept ½ my car value

Holy sh*t. This new Kamala Harris ad, which will air on Fox ahead of the debate, will mess with Donald Trump as it uses the words of Trump’s own cabinet & inner circle to show how he is unfit & unable to serve. This is so good. Watch & share it below.

@sachifoo Yes

@Volodia11 @WIRED Yes Christian and the invention that revolutionized large format live audio reinforcement!!

@qole @WIRED Hmmm, line arrays have been around since the '60s and before but it was this invention

https://t.co/i5aL9hxsrH

In 1989 and the release of Vdosc in the mid to late '90s that revolutionized line arrays for live sound.

Prior to that only the low/mid frequencies could line array

Which sounds more like a real life drum set?

A pair ADS L1090-2 home Hi-Fi tower speakers with a 40-27K +/-3db response?

or

Four 4" speakers mounted in PVC pipe with no tuning, no EQ, no processing?

@chrisgoosman @frugalfilmmaker @TeamYouTube Yeah. Turns out posting here then team YouTube was able to help in ways that other methods did not

[Dave Rat @dave_rat]

Take a listen and see if the Stormtrooper speaker sound more like a real instrument than these well known and obscure speakers.

Design a cardioid or end-fire subwoofer array in 5 easy steps

[Dave Rat @dave_rat]

Here is a video on the subwoofer design I designed for Bassnectar NYE 2015.

It is hard to get sound 40 dB louder at 300 feet than it is in the center of a ring of subs!

Here are the nuts and bolts to designing a precision 360 degree subwoofer array

[Dave Rat @dave_rat]

Subs on a separate send is better!

Because of of the flaws in how mics pick up sound.

High pass filters are like strainers removing the big pieces but they have no way to tell the difference between rumble, mechanical noise, useful audio and wind

Lets design, build and listen to a speaker that radiates sound the same way an actual instrument does.

Lets take a look and compare Capacitors vs Transformers for DC blocking and higher signal levels.

We focus on sound sources & light reflections

Light illuminates physical objects yet with sound our focus tends to be on the source itself. There is a vast difference between how our bodies utilize sound energy vs light energy as we navigate life.
