I was visiting there in 2019. Of the hundreds of thousands of balconies there, I saw less than a hundred with lights on ~10pm.
It's far away too. ~18km to get there from Iskandar Puteri (not intensely dense, but sees some traffic due to legoland), and ~35km from Johor Bahru (the main city area of Johor).
They must have done the whole build it and they will come thing before realising no one wants to live in a ghost town.
At least it looked kinda impressive???
5.1 and 7.1 systems aren't all that widespread, even in the music industry. Surround kinda sits in the same place vr does for me. It's immensely cool, but it'll never become standard due to hassle and lack of support.
Most of the recent innovation in sound has been trickled down from the music and film industries. Just a general increase in the capabilities of soft synths and a better understanding of foley, alongside dedicated in house recording studios have raised the bar of audio.
To be honest I agree with you that sound is overlooked, sound engineers truly are unsung heroes. I mean even when people point out the sound in a game, it's usually directed at the composer.
I got curious myself and agreed, so I went looking.
A lot of sources specified that it was part of a technical requirements checklist, and...
Yeap. It doesn't explicitly require a "press any key" screen, but it gives a more pleasant screen to look at while you select a user. People online also say it's used to detect which controller is in use.
If you add a feature like this to a game, it becomes harder to maintain if there are discrepancies between builds. So presumably it's usually just left in rather than removed.
I've been playing through it with a few of my pf2e group.
Larian did such an amazing job with this, and I am enjoying it, but I find myself wishing this game had the action economy from Div : OS2 or pf2e.
That said, I'm glad to see that they've continued the trend of their prior crpgs, and made something approaching the flexibility of a GM behind a screen.
Because they're effecfively measuring the change in the students' performance in the STROOP and ADD tests before and after a heat wave, baseline factors such as wealth and income should be controlled for.
They note in the results that in the initial tests there was no significant difference between both groups' results.
I never got it until I got Skyrim VR
So many soothing moments beneath an aurora, in a bustling tavern or just walking along a path
Huh, strange. Everywhere I looked online indicated that this pair of headphones has a single TRRS 3.5mm jack that comes with a usb adapter.
TRS (tip-ring-sleeve) and TRRS (tip-ring-ring-sleeve) indicates the number of channels on the 3.5mm jack. TRS is usually dual channel balanced (one channel for ground) whereas TRRS includes an additional channel for a mic.
As for all the other cable stuff, everything you've told me means that the troubleshooting for jacks and cables can stop there (I'm also assuming the echo happens in both ears and not just one). If we can't replace the cable, we can't tell if the problem is the cable or the headphones. I doubt the USB adapter will help either, unless JBL has some weird thing going on with that.
The echo being affected by your headphones volume control makes me think the internal wiring is miswired somewhere along the signal chain. You should still be able to use the headphones without the mic, so that's what I'd do.
I'm planning, in the far future, to buy a cheap DAC to plug-in a headphone, a microphone and an electric guitar so I can use all of them on the computer at the same time that I can use the headphones as monitors for the microphone and the guitar. Is this possible?
You're looking for an Audio Interface, not a DAC (although audio interfaces have DACs in them). There's a lot of options out there, and you'll have to assess the options based on your budget and use case.
I do not own this pair of headphones, nor do I use 2-in-1 headphones. But since no one has responded, I'll just throw whatever I can think of at you and see what sticks.
I am listing these to try and give answers. None of these should work, but they're easy to try and don't cost anything
These might work
This requires additional spending to confirm
I hope one of these work, because...
Get new headphones or claim warranty on them (if you have it). My cursory googling showed that this problem has cropped up with a reddit user, and they ended up buying new headphones. If you do end up buying new headphones, I highly recommend buying a solid pair of wired headphones and a mic separately. It'll be more cables, but much easier to swap out if things go wrong, and a good pair of headphones will last you a good 5+ years.
Best of luck, and let me know how it goes!
It's great. And a lot of work goes into tweaking that range of frequencies that goes unnoticed, unless the mix engineer screws up.
Imo the best thing you get from better headphones is clarity. Hearing intricately crafted neuro timbres just inspires me.
Jedi Academy was that year too! Though Need for Speed : Underground was probably the one I connected the most with
This is an amazing list. I will +1 Dexed cos FM is great, and add a few more music production apps to the list.
BBC Symphony Orchestra Discover - A great all-in-one orchestral vst with decent samples. Great for people wanting to bridge the gap between writing with sections and writing for specific instruments. Lacks articulations like Legato and Marcato, but is ridiculously good for the price of jack shit
SPAN - An excellent mixing and mastering vst that gives you a highly configurable fft spectrum analyzer, with a few presets for translation checks. My favorite feature is the correlation meter, which helps me visually check interference in stereo mixes
Kontakt free library - Has some solid samples for a selection of instruments, but I mostly use the Jazz Guitar and Bass Guitar from here for basic sketching
Equalizer APO - System wide EQ. Extremely configurable. I've since hopped over to SoundID Reference, but prior to that, I was using this. It's great for making all your headphones and speakers sound like any other pair of headphones, and there's a huge library of headphone presets that tell you how to get a neutral signature on just about any pair of them
So I've been reading through this study and comparing it to modern health advice. For the most part, the 22% of energy threshold seems to be above 1.2-1.6 grams of protein per kg of body weight (for active individuals).
The functional advice is: following the guidelines from the FDA will keep you out of the risks outlined in the study.
