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.

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?

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

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

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.

Sammy and I dive deeper into panning for live audio, speech pathology and share perspectives on audio. She has mixed live sound and is studying speech pathology and we get nerdy and do some demos.

Better Sound Sub Arrays part 2
Lets look at sub arcs, delayed arcs and end-fire arrays

Some insight on how to analyze and understand subwoofer setups. This is the first of 4 vids where I will hopefully show how to envision, refine and create better sub arrays and improve coverage.
