Are you worried about weird room interactions with a reflective window behind half of one channel? Looks like you'd get reflections from any notes larger than the speaker baffle, which could add smearing and a db bump. Unless those are active speakers and you can mess with the baffle step correction on the left channel, then you just have the time delay smearing thing, which probably isn't too horrible. The big electrical panel isn't ideal either, but not as big of a deal to my amateur eyes.

Not reference speakers:

Nope. This is a video editing room, not a mastering suite for audio. I just need it to sound "not horrible."

For comparison, this is the audio monitoring system they were using in the old room:



The new setup is immeasurably better, window and all.


I find it a source of amusement how some people will spend thousands of dollars to equip their homes with what they assume to be "professional-grade" equipment, when in fact we professionals are using $150-a-pair speakers bought off of Amazon.

Rather than scrape the link (because people will invariably say "eeew, that's gross"), here's a story about a guy who served his amputated leg to a bunch of his friends in the form of taco meat at a dinner party: https://www.comicsands.com/eat-amput...577592027.html

The first actually useful thing I've ever done with a 3d printer.



Tags for feedwater valves in a large air-conditioning system. Some replacements for those that have vanished over the years, and a couple of new ones for valves added during a recent overhaul.

Cummins 6.7 has interesting clean pattern on top of Pistons due to injector spray pattern. Also has interesting Drive coupling made of plastic and cracked at every outer bolt hole.

This little Cummins 6.7 piston did not do as well as its brethren. The particular mechanic who was working on this was not at his workstation so I did not ask what happened.

pretty much what my R9 290 sounded like. I tried upgrading the fan to dual fans, then fubar'd the card.

Made me laugh on a rough, hot Monday. Hopefully you will too.
