An often underrated body part are our two ears. Sure we see support tickets with our eyes, we unlock user accounts with our fingers, but while we're doing all this?

We're listening to How did this get Made, the McElroy brothers and sick DJ sets with noise canceling headphones on to try to block out our IDIOT coworkers.

Ears really enable us to touch computers at a higher level than is otherwise possible.

Just a shoutout to ears and make sure to keep that volume at reasonable levels!

my ears are really bad for my age and i am hoping that science invents ear glasses very soon. maybe if i had used proper hearing protection i would be able to hear the words people are saying when there's more than 1 source of sound in an area.

please give your ears the love and care they deserve.

I have a thing for courageous dongles

I chopped them off because they were deprecated and only used the 3.5mm in the back of my neck but then Stebe hosed me over on that one

If there's more than one way to do a job, and one of those ways will result in disaster, then he will do it that way.
blasting IEMs in my ears seems to have only made my hearing better, almost to an obnoxious level of sensitivity.

specifically dynamic microphones, which aren't the most versatile recording mics but will be the workhorses on any live stage on Earth. they use the exact same technology as a speaker; you just set them up at the beginning of the signal chain rather than the end. if you feed a signal to a dynamic mic rather than amplifying the signal it produces, it'll act as a speaker:

obviously the fidelity isn't superb since the diaphragm is designed to turn sound into signal rather than vice versa, but you can clearly tell how that track is supposed to sound. i've worked with this stuff on and off for almost ten years and it still fuckin blows my mind what we do to turn sound and electricity into each other
